Its all Greek to me...

So I've been watching the Olympic coverage on Good Morning America lately and this morning I had it on mute reading the subtitles that they type, when I realized that almost every other word was mispelled. Now having the mom I have this discovery greatly annoyed me. How can you have a job where you can't even spell what you already know is going to be said because they all read from scripts up on a teleprompter. Talk about not doing your job well. This is seen by millions of viewers everyday, no one complains?? I swear, I only faux finish walls and if there is one tiny little error people will refuse to pay us. Sometimes I feel like these housewives really need to get a life. My boss has had so many checks bounce due to these women deciding not to honor the payment contracts because there was "a tiny little spot I saw when i was way up on a 15 foot ladder cleaning the window.....I know no one can see it unless they got up on the ladder, but I'm not going to pay you on completion of the project until its taken care of." And of course, they don't always tell us, so we write a check assuming they paid up, and theres not enough money in the bank account....oh wow, oops random tangent.
This has def. made me not want to become a housewife...ever! I see so many women that just don't do anything all day long! How can one function like that? No wonder all those women are on prozac and wellbutrin, if I sat on my ass day in and day out without leaving or anything I'd have to be heavily medicated too, talk about boredom and lack of feeling needed or useful.....
I mean, not to say that I'm not thankful for my mom staying home and raising us, but she was busy, she didn't plant herself infront of the tv for hours. Last week I worked at a house, it was a very large job, and it took 2 wks to do. I learned her routine really well, this house had 4 people in it...husband, wife, 2 kids under the age of 8. They owned 10 TV's.....?! Thats more than 2 per person?! What do you need a tv in every room of your house for? The woman would get up when we got there at 9, watch those morning shows, then the View, then The Nanny, then some fashion tv, and on and on until 11:30 when she'd finally get dressed. She'd meet someone for lunch and shopping and be back at 2, to return to the tv again. At least it was sort of entertainment for me while I was working alone, better than quite. But can we say get a job, maybe a hobby?!
Anyway, I am completely off topic now....Speaking of getting a hobby, I need to go paint now :)
