Up Yours, Christmas!

I really don't celebrate Christmas anymore. Hell, I don't celebrate many holidays anymore. Why? Cause they mean nothing to me. Christmas used to be a time for family and get togethers. I really don't care about those things anymore. My idea of spending time with my family is not going during the holidays. I just spend time with the immediate family and that's it.

I do the one obligatory family function once a year. That's it though. This year I didn't even do that. I'm glad I didn't either. The entire extended family started getting celebrating on a Tuesday and didn't end until Saturday. That's way to much family for me. And I know if I had been there I would have been sick of it by Wednesday and really pissed by Friday and a total pain in the ass by the big family get together on Saturday. I'm just not a very nice person sometimes.

A few people at work I've already told I don't celebrate Christmas anymore. When asked why I just say,"No reason. Just doesn't mean anything to me anymore." After my announcement, my coworker was saying something about Christmas. I looked at him and said,"Christmas. What is this holiday you speak of?" He lost it. He couldn't stop laughing.

So we get to the new transfer asshole again. He has for the most part back off me. I had to work with the dysfunctional new transfer. Company policy seems to dictate that if you are hurt outside or to sick to work outside, then the labs will take you. So what we get aren't exactly the prizes or cream of the employee crop.

I said how I lashed out at him when he followed me out on break and my mouth off to him. I did it again but not as vicious. After he said something about Christmas, I tell him,"Christmas. What is this holiday you speak of?" And he takes me serious. He tells me that it will take some time to explain. How about on a graveyard shift or on Sunday. I replied with no,"I do not celebrate Christmas. And I really don't want to hear about it." And turned and walked away.

I just can't behave it work.
