The Pit Is Depressing Today -- Time For Tiny Rants!

The BBQ Pit
1

Hey, it’s Friday. What better time to bitch about those minor annoyances that don’t really matter.

Me, start? Oh, all right.

My office is in a university building on campus, where actual classes are taught (though not by me). Suddenly the halls are alive with the sounds of returning students: SQUEE!! HI-EE! YOU LOOK SO GREAT!!! HOW WAS YOUR SUMMER? LOOK AT YOUR TAN, YOU LOOK AWESOME! OMIGAWD I CAN’T BELIEVE SCOOL’S STARTED! LOOK, THERE’S JEFF! JEFF! HI-EE!! HOW WAS YOUR SUMMER? LOOK AT YOUR TAN . . . ."

Could you please for the love of god Move. The Fuck. Away. From MY DOOR! Thankseverso.

Close the door, you say? The door is closed.

Also school related: This is the first week of school. There is an 80’s dance tonight, so everybody was dressed up in their mother’s clothes today to get into the spirit of the thing.
<shudder>
The Monster: We belong dead!

I would like to express a moment of ethnocentrism.

Dammit, why is so much stuff written in languages other than English? TO MAKE ME CRAZY, THAT’S WHY.

4

Yes, I used to work at a university, and the standing joke was that the job was good, apart from when the students were around.

(Though I made myself unpopular by pointing out that if there weren’t any students, there would be any jobs either.)

5

I got one.

I hate it when people are so busy talking to me while we are moving that they stop moving. One friend of mine will actually stop his car to make a point.

Move it!

I returned to university today.

I was greeting all my friends and asking them about their vacations when a muffled voice behind a closed door told me to move the fuck away.

A great start to the new semestre. I don’t think.

7

I’m at work, unable to do anything because my head’s all stuffed up with antihistimines. Why can’t I just stay home in bed instead?

(Because if I was home, I’d be badgered with requests to do a hundred little errands…)

8

They are the Leaders of Tomorrow. Tremble.

This fucking heat is ridiculous. Why oh WHY can’t we just have a nice, temperate summer-heat, yes, but with some cool breezes and none of this fucking humidity that makes it feel like a sauna in the middle of the desert?

10

I live in a college town, and now that all the students have returned, traffic sucks and it takes at least twice as long as usual to go anywhere and the stores are all crammed. Rats.

Yes, I said it, and I’ll say it again: Rats!

11

Talked to my urologist yesterday. He told me my family doctor misprescribed the antibiotics I was on for 2 weeks for a kidney infection. Turns out I only needed 3 days. So 14 days of Cipro left me with a horribly painful yeast infection. That didn’t have to happen.

I hate doctors.

PSA: There is a reason the on ramp to the freeway is more than a 100 yards long; it’s so you can up to speed you fucking moron!!!

I live where the average speed limit is 65 and I regularly have to get on behind some pickle-head doing 40.

13

Ahhh, another month until school starts. Its the one time of year that I actually like the quarter system. :slight_smile:
Ok, uh, rants…
Oh, the club officer retreat I 'm leaving for today. They only told us in an email last nite that it’ll be about $50 a person for the weekend to stay at someone’s trailer near the lake. They had never said anything about cost prior to that so I assumed the club was going to cover it. :smack: Dammit I don’t want to spend what little grocery money I have on this!

14

What’s so depressing? I’ve been having loads of fun pretending to be a delusionally narcissistic and arrogant prick.

Yeah, that’s right, pretending, smartass.

15

:eek:

You kiss your mother with that mouth?

16

I just worked through lunch for the tenth time in eleven days, including weekends. And the situation is only very marginally better regardless of how much effort I put inot it.

Oh, and a friend offered us free tickets to a ball game tonight(behind home plate), but I’ll be working. :frowning:

Enjoy,
Steven

Giraffe has been acting like a troll and abusing his mod status lately. There, I said it.

18

Antibiotics make me poopy. :mad:
Finally getting to the point I can inhale without my tonsils trying to stab me with their tiny knives, and I gotta spend all day in the bathroom.

19

Leave my mother out of this, you…you besserwisser! :slight_smile:

That’s exactly what made it a joke. No wonder you were unpopular. :wink:
