Shifting gears

Frankly, I find it disheartening that very few people value anything anymore. There was a time when holding a door for a lady would be met with giggles and blushes. Now, it's more common to have some oblivious moron walk through a door two feet in front of you after making eye contact without ever even considering to hold it. It's getting harder on genuinely kind, caring people to exist in a world where others don't appreciate that they spend every waking moment trying to improve things for even one singular person - more often than not, in my case, for one miserable, insignificant, unappreciative woman who seems to think the behaviors of those around her, common courtesies, are her right instead of what they are: Behavior implanted by families who want us to grow up to be upstanding gentlemen instead of a typical chauvinistic pig.

That said, I'm taking things on a different track. To those of you who are around me on a daily basis (Who will likely never see this anyway, since you can't get your heads out of your asses long enough to give a fuck about me) don't expect me to kiss your ass, ever. If you want to be treated positively, earn it. If you want me to go out of my way to improve your day, prove to me you deserve it. Those of you who have gotten used to me being there to stroke your sorry ego, you have not, do not, and will not, ever deserve my sympathy or my love and certainly not my Samaritan tendencies. You took advantage of me, and I'm tired of being helpless and manipulated by your 'affections'.

Those of you who genuinely care about me, don't expect much of a change. You know who you all are and I love you dearly for your influence in my life.

Changing track once more, I've been digging into programming and have come up with several calculators, using a modified reverse Polish notation engine. Those of you who would like to test them out, I have one for basic operations (+ - * / ^ % sin cos tan) and one for Ohm's law calculations. Drop me a line somehow and I'll get you the details.
