Heck, we do it in the USA, post processed of course. My brother hauls it.
OK, I followed most of your rant, and I agree your roommate should clean up, but could you please translate this into English?
My once cute unique small town is now a gated yuppie soccor mom community with all the Applebee’s and Starbucks trappings that that entails. Zoned out consumer bots wander Target parking lots looking for their distinct grey Land Rover, memorizing license plates is necessary. Little boxes made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same… 
Ex-Squid here:
Mast is more commonly known as Captain’s Mast. It’s the Navy’s version of NJP, or Non-judicial Punishment. Also known as Standing Tall Before The Man.
Losing a Crow refers to being reduced to the next lowest pay grade. Also known as Making Rate.
It appears that the previous poster is currently in the Navy, attending school at a shore command.
(whips out Shellback card)
Sorry about that, it sorta slips in sometimes. My roommate was sent to Captain’s Mast, and among other things, was demoted from a third class Petty Officer (E-4) to a seaman (E-3).
rhythmonly, I won’t be a Shellback for a while, sadly. I graduated IT “A” school recently, and got shore duty in Japan… somehow.

Dear Husband-
I need to come up with the emtional strength to kick you to the curb. Oh, wait–I can’t afford to do that, since you can’t stop spending money. You should be ashamed of yourself–you’re a CFO.
And our son’s glasses do not negatively effect his ability to learn to ride a bike or catch a ball. He lacks confidence–and practice.
And thanks so much for all your “support” re my career change. When I asked for your input for my mission statement in my theorectical library assignment, you said that since you saw no future in libraries that you couldn’t think of one. With support like that, I’m sure to go far.
And thanks for not sharing with me that your company is switching health insurance plans. We had budgeted for at most 2 months of COBRA. We’re on month 3 now–and you say the health ins rep hasn’t shown up yet. And guess who is in charge of booking and sealing the deal with said rep? You got it–YOU.
Nice.
I pit people that set up meetings but do not designate a meeting room. We have three conference rooms and two visitor rooms in this building. When you set up a fucking meeting could you assign one of these rooms. That is the entire reason we have appointment scheduling. You can designate a room for that time slot for your meeting.
But do you do that? No.
Not only did you set up the meeting with a “to be determined” in the location field but you assumed that your boss was going to be available for the meeting so you figured you could use her office even after she told you in an email that when you set up the meeting to not include her as a required participant. Did that not tell you that she most likely would NOT be available?
Because of this we had to wonder around the building looking for a room for our conference call. You only work one fucking day a week you could at least set up a meeting correctly.
And you wear those same pants every fucking time you come into the office. The pattern looks like some upholstery on a sofa from 1950, burn those fucking pants already!
I pit myself, for wanting to go to grad school abroad. It fits nicely into my overall plan of eventually permanently settling abroad. It does not fit nicely into the resources available at my current, tiny school. So I’m pretty much on my own for the whole process.
Could I make it infinitely easier on myself and say, “Screw this, I’ll do the normal thing and just be happy staying in the US?” In theory. But in practice, I’m a stubborn idiot who can never, ever do the easy thing, so I’m spending my free time researching universities that no one here is terribly familiar with, visas, and how in god’s name I can possible come up with as much money as I need to somehow pull this off.
