people are assholes

up until about 3 months ago, i lived with the assumption that i'll eventually work with people i respect and like.

but people are assholes.

this great cultural phenomenon called work forces one to do many things one may see as less than savory (waking up early, going to meetings, stressing, etc), but it also forces one to deal with a wide array of people. but the more people one meets during work, the more apparent it becomes that people are assholes. i mean, out of every 20 i meet, i think 1 or 2 are tolerable, and 1 out of every 20 of those i'll take the liberty of calling a friend. i mean even the "brightest", "smartest" and "nicest" of people are incompetent assholes who really don't deserve any consideration of entering into the realm of humanity.
