Babel speech

There is such a thing as a southern accent, which is sort of like English with a twist, but we don't really have it around here. What is more common is what I would call east coast twang, because I've heard it coming everywhere in a row from Florida to New Jersey, and nowhere else. It consists of clipping parts out of the words and slurring most of the rest. It seems like a different language altogether. I can understand a foreigner who speaks limited English as a second language, much more easily than those half talk people. It's hideous.
I get very limited internet spam, but also a ton of junk mail and advertising phone calls...what a waste.
Even from people who can actually speak, and are not making a sales pitch, there is little reason to do so very much. It's soon obvious there is little to nothing in that so-called mind that really merits response, and most of it is predictable and bothersome.
The net result is a language that's full of conflicting ideas, and I can spend most of my life just trying to shut it out. It seems like a loss to have a bunch of citizens that cannot talk to one another.
Is this why you are here, to get away from those majority groups that say the same predictable things?
I find that in relating with women, once middle ground is established, instead of speech being so literally meaningful, it becomes a way of making pleasant sounds to each other. This point is so rare to reach, but is quite central to existence. Vastly preferred to the useless chatter of the surrounding world...

Supposed to be terrific eh?
There are two girls that work for me. Today they wanted me to start the closing procedures about ten minutes sooner than I usually do, in hopes to leave sooner. Just to humor them, I do it. As I start to do so, I'm made aware someone is disputing the price of something. Eventually I'm summoned to speak to neurotic wreck #1, she makes me repeat the same thing five times...as I'm stuck there, an extremely cute chick comes in and the other worker helps her set up the nicest bass we have with the smallest practice amp there is. The first worker comes back and resumes with neurotic wreck #1, still repeating...and then neurotic wreck #2 is at the showcase waiting to look at something.
So as I wander past the nice girl, I make a few comments and she's very well spoken and obviously interested in the bass and by that point I'm quite interested in her, but I have to keep moving.
Ok sure I remember you neurotic wreck #2 from a few weeks ago, before the casualty, telling me some stuff was yours. Now we're on auto rewind doing the same thing. Except this time I'm forced to learn that the casualty was your ex husband, someone got him drunk and hit him in the head, that's why he was screaming until the train ran him over. I thought it was a favor, and now we're wasting time.
By now, nice girl is finished buying her little practice amp so, I turn neurotic wreck #2 over to that worker, wanting to get back to the comments, and then here comes neurotic wreck #1 getting all in the way and following us to the door. I let them out and then, from her car, the nice girl makes eye contact with me for five seconds.
It's priceless.
It's hard to express my irritation of being prevented from chatting with someone I actually want to, and being forced to deal with the unnecessarily repetitive idiots. Just talking to that girl is very soothing, which is rare. Something is very wrong with that picture, and yet I'm supposed to be nice about it?? And...

I'm not really going to start this, because I don't know where to begin...let's say that it stems from the fact that something goes wrong pretty much constantly, all day long. Before I get into it, I'd like to see comments from anyone else about the problems and stupidity they face at work. Or, if anyone has a job that goes well, let us know what that is like. Proper names should probably be left out, otherwise all details are good.

Yesterday evening, someone laying on the tracks behind the store gets run over by a train. First time I think I've seen an E. M. S. unit arrive at a scene and just turn around and leave. I was told massive screams were heard just before the impact. I figured it was a drunk bum being murdered by a friend. Last time that happened, pieces of finger and nothing much bigger than that were scattered in a hundred foot radius. This train wasn't going that fast, and perhaps it was just suicide.
Then today the new worker who I kind of like apparently has a miscarriage right there. I'm still trying to figure out this sort of thing...a few weeks ago you're close enough to someone to get pregnant, and then they are gone and you want someone else...I haven't really asked anything about it. Guess we'll figure out what's going on later.
On a brighter note...well, I'm not really aware of one...

It was around 105 here today...haven't felt like doing much besides falling apart.
Bridges seem to be burning on their own these days, I've tried getting people to go drink in Hell, or head to a show, or whatever...they have all been too poor and have the enthusiasm of moss. So I gave up and quit asking.
Thanks to a few new people talking to me online, perhaps something will come out of it. I've been doing that for years, and occasionally it's worth it. I've also noticed a new part-time worker pressing on me with formidable breasts. This may win some kind of favor, or at least it makes the day go by better.
The last person that sought me out musically had formidable breasts and could demolish a bass like nobody's business, so we played with some of each, it was probably the best musical tryout I ever had but, being far away and me the only one with a car, it's not feasible. Sad but true.
After today's furnace incineration, I have to work a lot until it is time to catch one or two Lamb of God and Hatebreed shows. It's a rough mix since, I'm tired of everyone except the new person at work, and of course she would never go to a show like that so, if there is any fun to be had, it's going to be in dating someone for pleasure and then enjoying the music by myself. Unless someone else comes along soon.
Meanwhile, having recently been promoted to ikkyu, the highest student grade in karate, it puts me into a leadership role there. As difficult as that stuff is, it's actually easy to do because the people will listen. Not so with dating and music, although those are easy and natural, everyone seems to be out to find something wrong or go do something else.
I guess I have chosen a difficult path but, the mass of typical people and their music and churches is thoroughly horrid. It causes a strong sense of duality, hating most of the world and loving a small part of it. Those opposites seem to grow stronger every day.
