Rant: I missed most of the Lost Weekend on the SDMB and now I feel kind of like I did when everyone in the world I knew went to Glastonbury and saw the Chemical Brothers on Friday night (“the best show I’ve ever seen in my life!”) and I didn’t arrive there until Saturday.
Rant: Why are there so many construction projects circling my office? They’re completely unavoidable in my trip to/from work. They block up traffic and make too much noise. All things considered, they really suck.
Rant: People who think their asinine communications materials will become effective if only they send them to me over and over and over and over and over again. This is compounded when the communications materials contain excessive formatting and unclear / pointless messages. The worst offender is a guy who has obliged me to make SIX separate filters in my gmail to make his messages skip my inbox. There’s a reason I keep rejecting your friend requests. Jerk.
Rant: The upcoming Canadian election is really depressing. I can’t believe that out of four parties, they couldn’t come up with even one candidate for PM that I could vote for and still live with myself in the morning.
I’ve got a flight from Raleigh to Chicago scheduled for this Saturday. Tropical Storm Hannah is currently predicted to hit the eastern coast on Friday, then head north through central NC on Saturday morning. If this happens, there’s a strong chance that my flight will be delayed or even canceled, leaving me stranded at the airport.
DO NOT grab a bottled water out of the cooler, open it, take a swig, and THEN ask me how much it is, and THEN mention that you forgot your wallet. What did you think I was gonna say – “Oh, free for you because you’re just so damn cool”? Good thing your buddy was there to cover your ass.
Open invitation to the media at large: Shut the fuck up about Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy! It’s already getting old and way to fixate on an utterly irrelevant topic. Nobody of character really gives a rat’s ass.
It’s very cute how you’re trying to hide your racism behind a wall of concern for helping poor people, but you’re still a fucking cultural imperialist.
I had a tooth pulled Thursday and it was a real bitch getting me numbed up enough. Now I’ve got a bruise the size of a half-dollar on my jaw and it still HURTS!!! Not as bad as day one, of course, but I’m getting tired of this painful knot on the side of my face!
I pit my new job for saying they were hiring me for one position, but actually giving me another. The new position is a definite step up, but I feel I was underqualified for the position I was hired for, much less this position. Adding more stress to an already stressful situation is that I am the only female on the team of eighteen. Double mini-pit for not telling me that my job title was changed until the day I started, even though I was hired for the first position three weeks ago.
Stupid body. I’m trying to improve you damn it! Stop giving me new pains. Things you are NOT allowed to do:
Pop the left knee out of place. This is especially not allowed when I’m 2 miles from home, in 85F temps, with an empty water bottle, and the entire town shut down for Labor day. Good thing I’ve got practice popping the knee back into place.
Give me chest pains when I’m in the middle of nowhere. I know you don’t like this strenuous exercise. Neither do I. Get used to it though, because I’m going to keep it up until we’re dead, so stop bitching. I know I have a weak heart. I also know what our limits are, so stop yer bitchin.
Trigger a petit mal seizure in the middle of a freaking busy street. Are you seriously trying to get us killed? Stop resisting the damned meds already and let them do their work. You’ll be happier, and I’ll be happier.
Most importantly, stop giving me trouble over the new foods I’m eating. I know you’re used to McD’s, loads of starches and sugar, and little to no fruit and veggies. Get over it, as that’s what you’re going to be fed from now on.
To my babe,
I understand you got stuff in your eye. It is not my fault you weren’t wearing goggles while you were grinding. You went to the dr. and they drilled it out. I get it, they took a drill to your eye. I wasn’t invited to this super showing of drill power so i don’t know how nervous you were. I understand that you don’t have to go back to work for a week.
But if you wake me up ONE MORE TIME during the day we are going to have a throw down!!!
I work 12 hour shifts. I work at night. I do NOT care how bored you are! Go find something else to do but bother the hell out of me!
Goddamn stupid piece of crap software taking 10 minutes at a time to load a module, and goddamn stupid piece of crap database admins who feel the need to archive on a weekly basis.
Don’t you morons know I have to do research and analysis on 100 freakin’ items? I’m spending more time twiddling my thumbs waiting on these stupid piece of crap modules to load than I am doing any actual work, and it’s PISSING ME OFF. AAaaaaargh.
Then again, if people would just sign and date their comments when they make changes, I wouldn’t have had to do all this in the first place… so I guess I’m actually pitting the goddamn stupid piece of crap people making these goddamn stupid piece of crap changes without documenting properly, with the software as a secondary casualty.
Boss: “I read your presentation and I’d like to suggest that you put in blah blah blah and address blah blah blah. If you focused on study blah blah and explained blah blah it would be good.”
Me: “That is what the whole presentation is about already.”
Boss: “Hmmm, I’d better go reread your presentation.”
Me: Read-receipt suddenly shows up in inbox :rolleyes:
Burn in Hell, you piece of shit! What makes you think it’s ok to cut off someone’s bike lock and steal their several-hundred dollar bike? I only hope you’re stupid enough to try and sell it to a bike store, since I’m going around town and giving them all a good description and the serial number of the bike.
I hate new meds. Spending the next week or three looking at every possible change in behavior, bodily function, or mental acuity sucks.
What’s worse is when it seems that the new med is making me piss every two to three hours. Not a good formula for a good night’s sleep.
I also hate that health people always automatically put band-aids over injection sites. Dammit, pulling that thing off the hair hurt about 50 times more than the shot itself.
