When did the world go completely insane?

When I was little, people had jobs. They went to work everyday and did whatever it was that they did to bring home a paycheck.

It was what it was.

Not anymore.

When I was little, we had "Garbagemen". They rolled up to your house in a big, blue truck and took your garbage away to the dump.

Not anymore.

The job hasn't changed, but now they want you to call them "Sanitary Servicemen".

When I was little, we had "Secretaries". They worked in an office. They typed up memos. They filed paperwork.

Not anymore.

The job hasn't changed, but now they want you to call them "Personal Assistants".

I recently went on a shopping trip to Target. On my way out to the car, bags in hand, a guy rolls by me on one of those "Segues". He's wearing a neon yellow vest. Emblazoned across the back in capital letters is his job title..."ASSETS PROTECTION".

Are you serious?

You're a minimum wage security guard in a Target parking lot.

What is wrong with having the job you have? Obviously, you must think that SOMETHING is wrong. Giving your job a more "important" title changes nothing.

Last night I went to Safeway to do some grocery shopping. Right inside, near the entrance, there is a large wall covered with shelves. It's usually filled with "seasonal" items.

For weeks, the shelves have been lined with Jack-O-Lanterns and witches. Haunted houses and ghosts. Black cats and tombstones. Scary Halloween stuff.

Not anymore.

Now more than half of the Halloween decor has been taken down. In it's place are reindeer, snowflakes, sleighbells and figurines of Santa Claus.

Seriously?

Halloween is still 2 weeks away and you're already taking it off the shelves and packing it away to make room for Christmas decorations??? It's OCTOBER!!! Christmas is more than TWO MONTHS AWAY!!!

So somebody please tell me, when did the world go completely insane?
