Yesterday morning I had to go for my new badge photo. I arrived before they opened and there were only four people waiting (there's usually a LOT more). In front of me were two young dippy chicks chatting about their new jobs, etc... Ironically one had gotten the job that the other had applied for. After a few minutes of mindless chatting I started looking for sharp objects in my purse. Then the door opened. The first two people walked in and a bossy voice yelled out, "Two at a time!" You gotta love glorified security secretaries. The two ditzy chicks hopped back, then started bitching about the wait, the process and anything else their little minds could think of. I just kept to myself, amazed that these people were even complaining. I muttered a "Welcome to UCLA" and then turned back to my paper staring.
I don't get how someone can complain about waiting ten minutes total for a badge. You can wait that long easily in any establishment. Waiting is expected these days. These twits weren't even around when fast and friendly service was alive. Hell, I was a kid when it was ending. I would just be so happy to have a decent paying job that offered full benefits that I would look at any waiting as a blessing. Then again, I'm not some vapid twit who whines about anything and everything.
