Working with idiots

I swear my job is so not worth the shit i have to deal with. The amount of idiots here is amazing. I am either people`s mother or their babysitter. For instance, i had a call today asking for a direct connect so i called the guy. For those who don`t know, a direct connect is a private conversation as opposed to open channel where everyone on our channel can hear you. So he tells me that there is a strange light on on the dash of his unit an proceeds to describe it finishing with "It looks like a horseshoe with something in it." After a minute of thinkig, it occurs to me what the light is and means (all it was was the light that symbolizes low air pressure) and i tell him to check the air pressure in the tires. I should also mention that english is his second language and his native(first) language is spanish. He also shouts everything over the radio and does not understand simple concepts. Him and the guy we have who natively speaks austrian(which i believe is either german or very close to) and he asked me earlier to repeat information for a call 3 times earlier. I should mention this second guy has been in the country for at least 5 years and can speak and understand perfect english. I have heard him do so as well as drew. He intentionally speaks with a very heavy accent and pretends to not understand us to irritate us(by his own admittance to myself). I dont understand people like that. You are in a country not as a visitor but to lve there and you cant correctly speak the language or hold basic coversations after a year???? That just means you are lazy and not even trying especially when you hold down a job in which you have to speak it and hear it on a regular basis. People in this country piss me off too much. Then of course there are the natives to this country who i dont know how they graduated college with such atrocious spelling and grammar or even high school but somehow they did. And with the invention of cell phones and texting and people taking "text speak" to the internet.....i am actually ashamed to be a part of the generation i belong to. Why cant we go back to a time where people respected each other, ladies were respected by men, and people knew the meaning of an honest days work as well as how to spell correctly. I dont know how half the people in my office passed the typing test we have to take. Minimum 50wpm and it grades your spelling and errors....Coincidentally, the boys i work with cant spell worth shit. I put $300 a month into my gas tank to be paid not a whole lot and barely making it to correct spelling and grammar and get yelled at? Really? So not worth it. -sigh- i need a new job....maybe a new less stress filled life. Still stressed about the situation with my love. Things just took a turn for the worse. Still cant talk about it though.
