Mormons On Ice - Pt.2.

I'm not sure I'll ever understand why Utah drivers do what they do. Following last night's blizzard, we got up this morning and the roads were all clear - well done UDOT for getting the plows out while everyone was asleep. In some cases, the roads had been cleared so long that they were actually dry. So why the hell was everyone doing 5mph? Deep, drifting snow - they all do 60mph and drive into each other. Clear roads but snow in the air - they all do 5mph and clog up the streets.
Worse are those who are so damn lazy they just won't clear the snow off their windows and drive around looking out of a little clear spot front and rear. How difficult is it? Really? Swish - there - the whole window is clear. My favourites are those who are so incredibly lazy that they don't clear the snow from in front of their radiators. I see them every snow day, standing at the side of the road, hood up, with steam pouring out of their radiators because the snow and ice on the front bumper cut off the airflow to their radiators.
People are so lazy - March Of The Morons.

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages. The church doesn't like gays, so it leans on its members in government to do everything possible to prevent them from having the basic rights afforded other couples who want to marry. In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On
