It is now 3 days past Thanksgiving. There are houses in the neighborhood that have had Christmas lights up for THREE FREAKIN’ WEEKS!! I want to put notes on their doors telling them how wrong this is!
It’s starting to bother me that a lot of old threads are being bumped.
Yeah, Ginger, I can relate. I may start wearing earplugs to concerts, not for the loud music but for the people screaming in my ear. Sometimes if they scream real loud my ears hurt for a day or so 
You know its loud when they yell in your ear and you lose your balance it’s so loud.
Damn, but the shopping lines are horrid. I went to K-Mart for a shower curtain and a replacement alarm clock (I sleep-throw them. I’m a sysadmin, stress is life) and I couldn’t get near the front of the store. Merry shopping days.
I still can’t get the bar stamp off of my hand, and I’m covered in blue paint. Thank Og it’s Latex.
I am sick of people thinking sysadmin are Saints and that sysadmin say they are resoponsisble for anything if they are not paid what they think they should get.
All oop’s’ are still the Bosses fault even if the Boss can’t turn a computer on.

The targetting in Splinter Cell is so shitty its ruing the fucking game for me.
Aw, heck, I work for a nonprofit cluster of AIDS clinics/nursing homes. You don’t want to know what I make. It’s below the 25th percentile. Below the tenth percentile. I think it’s below the fifth percentile. I need a raise soooo bad.
Hell, I’m a full time conslutant (Not a typo), and I’ve worked for them for two years. I don’t have medical, sick days, or vacation. I’ve taken, on average, one day off a year for being sick.
They have an option to hire me. I wish they’d exercise it.
I am the only and entire MIS department for over 107 computers and 250+ users, over eight locations.
ONLY.
Oh, and we have had three days downtime at one location when a drive when physically bad and the mirror got a corruption, and one day’s downtime at a different location when the server failed from the power surges blowing it out. Over two and a half years.
I’m pretty good at my job. I am, however, overworked and going slightly insane.
Am I a saint? No. But I certainly try for service with a smile. I have to deal with heads of departments like an equal because I’m the one that has to tell them, “I’m sorry, love to do it, but I can’t.” “Fill out the form that I get measured on, and I’ll do the work… but I won’t do the work without you scribbling on the form. See? Here’s the form. Right here. You don’t have time? Then I don’t have time to fix the computer.”
I spelled Poohpah Chalupa’s name incorrectly. Is there any chance a mod would fix it for me? Good grief. This was careless and inexcusable.

I’m peeved because of a few days ago when I went to my local mall to see if I could set up a stand to sell raffle tickets.
I’m in a quest and part of it is raising money for medical research, so we’ve got a raffle.
So, I go to the manager of BigW (I suppose like Walmart), and ask if I can set up outside sometime this week. I was told to go to centre management, so up I go.
Centre management says there’s no room because they only allow one charity thing in there at a time. (I know this is a lie because I walked the whole place, which is big and there were 2 set up outside other shops.) They also said I wouldn’t be able to get a spot anyway because you need $10000 public liability insurance. I hate the looks I get, they think I’m up to no good and patronise me just because I’m only 18. Grrr…
So I was told to go and ask Big W if I could have a raffle on their premises. So I go back to Big W, and explain that I’ve been to see centre management yada yada. Stupid Cow’s response? “I don’t know, why don’t you go and see centre management?”
GRRR!
So, I repeat what I have just said. Stupid Cow says she doesn’t know if they allow it, so I ask to speak to a manager. Shes says she’s a manager. I asked her to find out for me (instead of just standing there looking stupid, I thought).*
So she talks through a phone for about 5 seconds then comes back and says, “No, sorry, we are already supporting other charities”.
WHY?? Please, they have allowed it before, I know because I have patronised the store for the last 10 years (not any more).
Besides, I don’t need support, you don’t need to give me anything, I just want to stand there and sell tickets!
All I’m trying to do is raise money to help find a cure for your old Granny’s cancer!
deep breaths
*Before you say anything, I was perfectly polite the whole time, I promise!
I am printing these threads out to read later, as I am in the library and only allowed an hour online.
I wait til my printouts are done. Sometimes other people print at the same time.
So they go up, and look through the papers for theirs.
Fine.
BUT QUIT LICKING YOUR FINGERS AND GOING THRU EACH PAPER.
I DO NOT WANT YOUR SALIVA ON MY PRINTOUTS!!!
thank you.
I’m tired of being lied to. I’m tired of people assuming that because of where I work, I’m stupid. Hi, people. I have letters after my name. Do you? NO? Really. What a surprise.
I’m tired of my idiot coworker who can’t use excel, doesn’t remember how to do anything and will probably end up killing himself and others with a biocontainment problem.
I spend all my time watching that idiot so I have no time to run my own experiments, as a result I’m overstressed, exhausted and sick and tired of everything.
Mom and her four kids at the sandwich counter at the market ordering the sandwich list from hell
Yeah, fine. It’s a free world; we can all do as we please. But really,
Did you not know you were going to go out on Uncle Harry’s boat today? Could you not just stop by the deli and get sandwich meat and make the shit at home? Ummm…maybe yesterday or this morning? See, they have these jars that you can buy right at this very market and they have things like mayonaise and mustard inside! They also have bread for your 4,000 sandwiches. And cheese! I understand it’s probably easier to hold up a line of single folk who just want lunch rather than actually venture into the crazy world of homemade family picnicing but, honestly, you drive me fucking nuts.
New thing that pisses me off:
Having to PLAN my coworker’s experiments for him.
You have 3 degrees in biology (all of them useless however) and you have 10+ years lab experience.
Somewhere, somehow, you must have had to set up your own experiments.
And don’t mutter under your breath that you need coffee to help you think.
NOTHING HELPS YOU THINK!
Ludicrous lawsuits.
wow, no offense…but some of you people have issues. your cats boobs taste like milkweed bugs? right…stinkpalm i’m with u tho. that games still fun though. i always jump from the ceiling onto peoples heads :P.
I spent my birthday getting my car fixed, while trying to fight off a vicious sinus headache.
After asking my co-worker three times in the last few months to submit paperwork to me, I mentioned it again and she said she was just too busy and if I didn’t like it, go tell a manager. Like it hadn’t already crossed my mind. The next day, she submits a bunch of paperwork I don’t even need. “Better safe than sorry!” she chirps. Passive agressive freak.
My other co-worker who raised six kids alone and is now supporting two other family members on her salary says she can’t afford boots this year. I feel shitty for her.
