Todays superficial world

Ok so this last week at work has been well, a rough one. Machines breaking down, people wanting more than is available and everyone in turmoil. Now my question is. Why is it so frekin hard? I am one who would like to go to work and do my job, but as of lately it seems I am a mediator. No one is happy, you make one person happy it pisses off someone else. Why can't people just accept things are the way they are and move on. We have one employee, well call bob, who isn't happy no matter what. Bob seems to think that if hes not around to to tell people how to do it that its all gonna fall apart. Well guess what bob you've been gone for a week and nothing fell apart get over it dude. So getting to a superficial world people think they need more than they really do. We all want certain things, yes, but are they things we could live without, yes. I believe all we need is our family and friends. If we don't have that what do we have. Its been a great Holiday season but to be honest with you what happened to just enjoying it and remembering why we celebrate. Gifts are nice but do we need to spend so much money on stuff we don't need, or should we take that money and use it throughout the year on each other to go do things together. I think that would be more fun. I don't know maybe I'm just a simpleton but I am just getting tried of all the, I want, I need, I gotta have attitude in today's world. Grow up people its not that important you FAMILY is.
