Minor Journey Commentary
This just bugs me because thereās a point where bureaucracy irritates me. To just set the tone, I do have access to all the certificates I need, so thereās no crisis. It will just take some time. What you need to establish British citizenship by birth is this. You need a British parent, preferably a male parent ā I have that. If you were born before 1983, your British parent needs to have wedā¦
And There Are Journey Obstacles...
Apparently, the piece of paper that I have been calling my birth certificate for years is not actually my birth certificate but is in fact a ācertificate of birth registrationā. Ie: it was issued at the hospital and indicates my parents requested I have a birth certificate so I am on file, but is not actually a birth certificate. This is not an insurmountable obstacle. A few months ago, when Iā¦
A New Journey
I applied for my passport yesterday. Not my US passport, but my UK passport. Iām feeling really torn, to be honest. Youāre probably wondering, what do you mean, a United Kingdom passport? You were born in the USA. Youāre even a veteran of Desert Storm*. Why on earth would you not get your US passport renewed if youāre thinking of traveling? In fairness, my US passport renewal would cost lessā¦
Trades Are The New College
I donāt dislike the trades. Not at all. And I freely admit my bias. I did college, and while my degree has never really directly led to a job in the field I studied in college, I donāt regret going. Nor am I in debt. I went to a state university (New York, the SUNY system) and my student loans were paid off in ten years after graduating. What bothers me about the push for kids to go into theā¦
Serious Question, Gen Z
Iām struggling a bit with the Gen Z in the workplace stuff. I was reading this article ā https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/careers/opinion-gen-lay-z-why-my-generation-doesn-t-care-about-work/ar-AA1zVH3O?ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&cvid=fb310fd9b9f44db387e3cc7b946591f3&ei=6 ā and its mostly a rant from both sides. The older workers are tired of younger employees who literally donāt give a fuck, andā¦
The Gen Z Stare Nonsense
Apparently, Gen Z has a tendency to respond to questions or direct comments or anything really, with a blank, uncomprehending stare. I personally have not noticed this behavior, to be honest. At least, not to where I pin it on Gen Z. Someone staring blankly because they donāt comprehend didnāt appear to me to be generational. Itās theorized that this happens because Gen Z was poorly socializedā¦
Weird Things Customers Get Offended Over
Iāve had a slew of overly bitchy customers lately. Here are some fun examples. Customer comes to the line already griping about the automated voice. Heās wanting to do a payment. An easy thing to do. Thereās a point where I am required to verify the bank information. I say ā important for later ā āCan I have you verify the name of the bank on file and the last four digits of the bank accountā¦

Yeah, I still think I have something to sayā¦.

A Mentality I Don't Understand
This is something I see every day and folks? I donāt think I am genuinely that much smarter than the average person but what I am about to describe genuinely puzzles me. Why do people do things intentionally that they know will make a situation worse? Hereās an example. I was on Reddit and a woman was complaining that she lost her fraud dispute on her credit card unfairly. Iām not a fraudā¦

Why I Side Eye Some Media Reports
So I am watching OAN+ this morning ā oddly its available on antennae tv and its hilariously broadcast at a volume thatās MUCH louder than other tv channels, and I saw a news report about how the liberals are undermining parents with the brainwashing. The first example was a Tiktok video of a mom yelling at a school employee that her 17 year old who will be 18 before the election was *forced toā¦

Ahoy! Beware The Scam!
The sad thing, in the scam I am about to warn you about, is that I doubt my core audience is likely to be taken in by this scam but since I am a reasonably decent person, I have to say something. I saw a commercial yesterday for a ācommemorative coinā. Now, if the coin is being sold using a tv commercial, right off the bat, I can guarantee you that you are not buying a valuable collectible.
