Omega has been bothering me for a while to post. Well, aside from a failed hard drive and academic probation, I've been lazy. Well, school is starting in a few days for me and I couldn't be more excited. I have an interesting class load and I'm almost done with my first bachelor's.
I'd like to not make this post a reply to Omega's last post (with the exception of noting that I'm 21 years old and I prefer if my anus remains untouched, thank you). Instead, I'd like to talk about douchebag roommates and life in general. Well, one of my roommates decided he wanted to move out. That's all fine and dandy; I mean, we kind of had a falling out at the end of the semester anyway. But the way he handled it was unprofessional. The reason why I say this was because while I was hustling to find a replacement, he decided to try and force me out of the club I started. Here's the full story:
Housing:
We agree at the beginning that he finds a replacement if he wants to move out.
He says he wants to move out during finals week.
He doesn't want to move out until after the semester begins.
If he moves out even one day before February 1st, he wants all of January's rent back.
He refuses to have his rent prorated in the event that I find a replacement to move in before the end of January.
He fails to communicate anything to me (when he plans on moving out, etc). I had to find this out last minute, on my own.
Club:
As Vice-President, he demands I do things his way.
As a representative of the executive board discussing club issues, he refuses to be professional in anything he says or does, even after repeated requests from me, the President and Founder, to be professional.
He claims I'll run the club into the ground if I don't change immediately.
He threatens to quit if I don't change.
In the past, I've given him opportunities to run the club, and both times have failed.
Now, I bring this up not only to vent, but also ask: What the fuck? Given, I have a bias in this because I'm on the receiving end of this, but I've been raised to be an adult at all times and be professional. We're in college and we're getting in hang of how life can be, I get that. But if this is the type of people we're pumping out of our universities, our future is fucked.
Is it just me or do I honestly believe that if there were more Alphas and Omegas in the world, things would run a little more smoothly. Instead, we're going to have dickwads like stated above attempt to run things. The art of negotiation has been thrown out like a prom night baby. Professionalism has been spit upon like a homeless man. We need to revives these entities and establish a future worth trying in. If the "real world" is anything like people like previously stated, I shouldn't have even gone to college. I shouldn't have even tried to graduate high school.
On a lighter note, I've been watching "Jersey Shore". That show is a train wreck. I shouldn't stare, but I can't look away.
Also, I'm attempting a webcomic, as well. I haven't decided if it'll be continuous or single strip. Maybe a little of both.
