Stupid Democrat

I've never been one for politics. I've kept quiet most of my life in regards to certain political topics. I don't identify as a Democrat or Republican, and I still don't to this day. The coming election in November you can damn sure bet I'll be out there voting, but that's not what this blog is about today.

This blog today is just about my current feelings as of today, July 2, 2020. My mind feels like a yo-yo as of late. I'm buried in some projects at work, am 6 weeks away from welcoming a baby girl into this world & just trying to keep myself and my family safe on a daily basis. You all know where I stand with this virus- it's not a joke to me. I get so heated when I see others taking this so carelessly it literally makes me irate.

The day I dreaded during this pandemic came to light the other day and that was moving into Phase 4- mainly indoor dining. I was worried that we'd have some ass holes come in and refuse to wear a mask and much to my dismay we only had a handful. It shouldn't surprise me but it does that people come in thinking they don't have to wear a mask. Like have you lived under a fucking rock for the past 4 months or are you just that fucking stupid??? I can answer that- your just that stupid.

Well the other day we had a customer come in and was speaking to one of my female managers about wanting to dine in. She politely asked him do you have a mask and the guy said no or something along that line and then proceeded to say- Well how am I supposed to eat? The voice inside my head was like are you fucking kidding me? Wear the mask to your table which is our policy and remove it once seated- like people are so fucking stupid. Eat with it on dumb ass, like get out of here. He then proceeded to call her a stupid democrat.

First, I don't know what happened to that guy but I hope he got hit by a bus or something on his way home. I just can't stand the stupidity and arrogance certain people have during a time like this. So if we're the stupid democrat- what are you- a stupid republican? Why don't you go drop to your knees at the White House? Sorry I'm getting off topic. And people wonder why I hoped we stayed with just outdoor seating for a while? It's because of jag-offs like that. No one should be talked to like this...people on TV preach love and compassion yet people aren't showing/demonstrating any of that. Sure you get the nice person come in or speak to you on the phone saying thank you guys for being open and for wearing masks. But then you get a person who comments on social media stating they don't feel safe cause of a picture they saw.

The things people complain about or go out of their way to complain about amuses me. I could write a trilogy of stories I've accumulated during my tenure in the restaurant biz or better yet have the best damn reality show on TV based on the life of a restaurant manager. I posted something earlier on my Facebook page and I know everyone is entitled to their opinions and believe you me, we all have different views when it comes to things during this pandemic, and I'll back mine firmly just like I expect others too as well.

But the thing I won't tolerate is the irresponsibility of others to not practice safe social distancing when every medical expert in the fucking country is preaching this. I've looked into my crystal ball and have seen what it's gonna look like in a couple of weeks- we will be back tracking, oh yeah that's right. I didn't tell you- I have a crystal ball. People think they are immune or that they are healthy and won't catch it but all of that doesn't matter. I know face masks aren't a 100% blocker of this disease but it helps in close contact areas and I for one will continue to wear one when out because I am a responsible citizen and don't want anyone to get sick. I used to say I wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy but lately my views have changed..kidding of course. The argument could be made otherwise...

I referenced my mind is like a yo-yo lately but it's more like a rubber band. You can only pull it so much before it snaps and I'm nearing that point. I know people think I'm nuts, insane, overcautious or whatever other word you wanna use to describe me, but guess what, I don't give a damn. Do you think I like washing my hands a 1000 times a day. Do you think I enjoy applying hand sanitizer to my hands and almost crying cause of the cuts I have on half my fingers? I'm doing this for 3 reasons- wife, son and future daughter. And for anyone to jeopardize that because they don't think they have to wear a mask, well that just sets me off. You can't be with friends and family right now- oh well too bad, there will be more times for celebration at a later date once this is under control. People need to put aside their selfish tendencies and start thinking of the greater good.

Dr. Fauci who I love to listen too says there could be a time where the US is averaging 100k a day, yes a day! Right now we're at the highest we've been and that's over 40k a day. I don't want to be one of those statisitcs nor anyone I know either. If only it was a law that masks were required, maybe one day soon it will be. I'm all for it. Say what you will, complain if you feel you have too but I won't listen. I am all for keeping my family safe and if anyone or anything gets in my way, well it won't be good for them.
