I AM ANGRY. RARRRRR.

[yuuago]

This is going to be kind of ranty and full of stuff nobody cares about. Sorry, y'all.



I'm getting sick of the city slickers at my workplace.

Okay, yeah, I get it. Fort McMurray is a boring shithole. There's nothing to do, nowhere to go, it's five hours north of the nearest city, it's cold and dull and boring etc etc etc.

I KNOW.

I FUCKING KNOW, ALREADY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME.

I grew up here. I lived almost my entire life here. I know.

You've lived here, what, two years? Shut your goddamn trap and stop complaining about it.

I'm fucking sick of these spoiled, obnoxious city boys going on and on and on and on about how this place sucks and that Calgary or Edmonton or Toronto is soooooo much better. Look, pal, if you hate it so much, then get the fuck out and go back to Calgary. Or at least shut your mouth and stop acting like I don't fucking know that it's boring and cold here.

I guess it's kind of like family. Yeah, I'll talk shit about my family, but if anybody else does it, I get pissed as hell. Maybe it's like that. Stop fucking talking shit about my home. You've lived here for two years; you don't even fucking know anything about my home.

Argh, I just, MAN. I'm so annoyed. 8| But that's what comes from working with people who never have anything to talk about except how much they hate it here.

Fffff I just. I have a lot of feelings about home. Yes it's cold and boring, but... it's home. And the land is good.

And y'know, part of what makes it so awful now (as opposed to ten years ago, when it was just boring, but not bad) is people like who I'm angry with now, who come up here to work but hate every minute of it, and complain and complain and act negative about this place all the time, and there are too many people here because people keep moving here (and the minute they get here they start complaining about it) and... and yeah.

ONLY IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT IT THE ENTIRE TIME.





Don't move here, it's boring and cold. You'd freeze to death. ;)

Oh, of course. There are other cases... I find that a lot of the people who come here from various places (mostly the poorer parts of canada and places outside of the country), they're just like "Well, we'll make the best of it" kind of thing. They don't want to be here any more than I do, but they don't go on about how awful it is. They just deal with it.

It's mostly just the snobby city people that complain and complain and complain, and I'm so sick of them talking as if my home is worthless, argh.

My area is somewhat unusual because almost everyone is an "outsider". Hardly anyone is actually from here, and many people have not lived here very long at all. So when they talk to me, they think I moved here too. It's a weird situation. :|a
