These things get under my skin


I’m Oli, I’m 24 and currently live in Leeds. I am originally from a place called Rossendale in the countryside, kinda. I originally got tumblr as a place to vent my hatred, through forms of rants but my page has changed quite a lot. I now use it to complain but also document my lifting progress at the gym, post spiels about recent events and talk about gaming. I do not reblog things constantly, I do not talk about sex and I do not pretend to like certain bands, tv programmes or artists to fit in. I am described as a lot of people as a cunt, a prick and an emotionless human, but this is not true. Most of what I say is sarcastic, I do not go out of my way to hurt anyone and it is never my aim. I like to argue, I like to debate and I am confrontational. I am not a keyboard warrior as I do this in person too. If you don’t like complaining, rants or blogs that do not reblog stupid shit with no personal input then do not follow me. Oh, lastly, I fucking HATE this website and 99% of it’s users. I simply use it for it’s functionality and the aforementioned reasons. >

Who's that girl?...It's Beth.: Are people really that naive?

I’m all for having equality and no prejudice in the workplace but when people think that they will be okay for having the tattoos they have and stretchers and then they think they will be fine to find a decent or later a professional job.

I just think really? In this society, tattoos and…

Hmm I guess it depends if you want to be a slave to the corporations that tell you how to live your life. There is nothing stopping anyone from being who they want to be the whole notion of society is constructed so you will be a slave, there is naivety on many levels. But yes if you want to conform to “society” then yes I agree.

I don’t see it as being a ‘slave to corporations that tell you how to live your life’ - you are taking on that job so therefore abiding to their rules for employment and it is their company you are representing at the end of the day. It is your life within the workplace, not your whole life, there are many other places you can express yourself outside of the workplace. 

I would rather be a “slave” to corporations than be unemployed and having to rely on other people to provide for me.

Also.. What’s next? When tattoos and piercings are deemed acceptable, what will people do then? What will ‘alternative’ be? You can’t win. People are always gonna want to do things that are considered deviant.

But it isn’t a case of conform to corporations or be umemployed, there are plenty of other things you can do, anyway I guess that is a whole different topic. I think its up to you how you deal with your own individual constructed identity versus the constructed identity of how society wants you. It all boils down to your own life and how you live it, I’m happy for people to choose for themselves because they want it, not because they have to because they need it.

Thankfully, I love my job a ridiculous amount and actually look forward to going to work. The amount of satisfaction I receive from the work I do, in the place that I spend the majority of my time, means more to me than any tattoo or piercing ever could and I wouldn’t do anything to jeopardise what I have. I guess I’m just lucky to have that though :)

Yes, yes you are :).

You are lucky indeed, if you are happy then I am happy, but I wouldn’t want to argue against anyone doing what they wanted, but I guess as was originally said it might be harder to be a deviant while trying to conform!

All I want is for people to be happy to :) but just to clarify, I’m not slating people for having tattoos and piercings - everybody can do what they like with their own body and I have some myself. My point is just that it is still not accepted in the majority of working environments.

Yes as long as people are happy then that is fair enough but please just don’t complain against discrimination when the fact is that not many workplaces will accept people with tattoos/piercings that are prominently on show.
