July mini rants

HAHAHA What? So weird and hilarious. But the first question that popped into my head was, how was there so much time for him to do that when your stuff was already on the belt? Price check going on two ahead of you or what? :stuck_out_tongue:

sick of hearing about Pokeman:mad:

It doesn’t even work right! I tried to use it but I can’t even sign in.

Boy do I have some rants. In the order in which they happened:

I’m on vacation now which is great. But my boss texted me today to ask me a miniscule question that she easily could have gotten the answer for. Bitch, cannot I have one week without you bothering me?

Then I got home from the trip we took and turned on my PC. Attempted to, that is. Hard drive is shorted out. Computer is less than four years old.

Then we went to go return the rental car. I was walking up to the key drop and I got stung by my first wasp in my life. At least I think it was. I never even saw the fucker. I wasn’t doing anything aggressive, merely stepped onto the curb and WHAP! It hurt like a mofo, still does. WTF???

So after weighing PT and lifestyle changes and limitations against surgery and a long recovery and PT and lifestyle changes and a high likelihood of one day having no limitations, I got the surgery.

And it turns out the damage is irreparable.

Hot day + non-working car AC + idiot “drivers” + PITA training classmates = need for MUCH chocolate.

Hugs and sympathy to all.

What is it with people getting married and inviting everyone under the sun? These two coworkers are getting hitched in August and invited everyone at both company locations. Seeing as I’ve barely spoken two sentences to either of them in the last year, and their nicknames are the crackhead and the perv, well, no thanks. I generally don’t go to weddings anyway.

On principle?

Yes. Nothing against reputable breeders, just recognition of the many, many dogs who are available for rescue. I can’t save them all, but I can save a few.

You are aware of the growing problem of retail rescue, right?

OMG panache45, what a perfectly wonderful comeback. How to put an end to an unwanted conversation for sure!

Dang. :frowning:

Yes. I also volunteer with 2 local rescue groups that aren’t participating in such. There are too many thousands of unwanted pets around here. I’m currently in the process of trying to trap the two feral kittens and Mama cat living in the woods here. My current dog came to my house when a divorce forced a rehoming. Best dog I ever had was literally rescued from the roadside after he’d been hit by a car - the rest of that abandoned litter didn’t survive. Etc.

You don’t have to agree with my position. I’m not challenging your opinion, but I’d appreciate it if you accepted that my opinion is informed by research and experience, too.

Well now I feel like a total fucking idiot. Early in the morning, still sorta waking up, and I have to call someone from a certain department. I ring the guy up, and in doing so mistake his name for the name of the one other remotely asian-sounding name in the building. And the place I got his number from also has his department, so I could have noticed it there So not just an embarassing mistake, but one that makes me look like a stupid fucking racist as well. Greaaaaat. This morning is starting off really well.

The woman in front of him was writing a check, and couldn’t find the proper ID, so emptied her entire purse. He was yelling at her to get the hell out. So of course, when he was finished I yelled at him to get the hell out. The cashier was cracking up, and said we made her day.

So ummm my dad just turned up at my door and handed me a cheque for 3 grand.

Guess I pit myself for being an impatient ungrateful daughter? :wink:

Only if you don’t sit down and write that note StarvingButStrong very kindly composed for you.

Daaaang! My dad only showed up with pizza and soda! (Well, and the big lawn mower. But I don’t get to keep it. No complaints, though, since he also mowed the grass except for trim work… Because he didn’t want me to push a mower in the weather we’re having lately. 105° American yesterday, with the humidity, it felt like 115°. I think that’s 40/46° Canadian?) :wink:

Glad that it worked out for you guys, though.

Yes, my shopping experiences are legendary. I’m waiting to reunite with the woman who was so verbally abusive to me that she pushed me to be verbally abusive back at her. We had a shouting match, with profanity, right in the frozen veggies section. If there’s a next time, I hope to have the presence of mind to just walk away.

Funny, these things don’t happen when I’m shopping for anything but food. My husband refuses to go shopping with me; he can’t take all the drama.

My opinion about certain kinds of Facebook posts:

Facebook posts about Pokemon Go: not annoying.
Facebook posts complaining about Pokemon Go: also not annoying.
Facebook posts complaining about people complaining about Pokemon Go: starting to annoy me.

So I guess now I’m the one complaining about people complaining about people complaining about Pokemon Go.

I went for my morning walk, and there was a clutch on kids on bikes riding like they were drunk while staring down at their hands. I presume this is that Pokémon stuff I remain blissfully ignorant of?
