The Bitching Thread

You got me there Assertn hehe...

Actually I like my job. Its just that the past two months have been hell because the company bought a major rival, so we've had a heck a lot of work. (currently undergoing fusion time)

It seems things will estabilize past may 15 though. And they also promised us 3 free days already because of this long work sessions of 11 daily hours.

Oh yeah... my boss just told us five minutes ago they are buying us pizza for lunch so we can leave today at 5pm, instead of 7pm (we normally stay until 9pm, but because today was free we were staying till 7pm like normal).

Still, Im asking for several contacts to send my curriculum to see if I can find something better paid.

This week I moved into a new house. I'm only subletting there for the summer, and I don't really know any of the other people who will be living there. No big deal. I'll have a roof over my head, and a bed to sleep in. None of the others move in until the end of this week. When I moved in on Monday, the house was a complete disaster. The previous tenants hadn't cleaned up at all. There was garbage everywhere, sketchy food in the fridges and refrigerators, and enough dust bunnies to stage an invasion of Alaska. "No big deal," I thought, "since technically I'm moving in before the actual move-in date, the landlords probably haven't had a chance to clean." So I kept all my kitchen stuff boxed up, and lived at a friend's house for a couple days.

Yesterday, I gave up on anything getting cleaned and started cleaning myself. There were some foul-smelling tea towels and cloths that needed to be decontaminated, so I decided to do some laundry. When I went to check the lint trap on the dryer, it was stuck. I yanked as hard as I dared, so as not to snap the handle off, and realized with horror that it was full of lint. Three inches thick hard-packed fuzz, about the strength of industrial felt. Holy fire hazard Batman. I don't think the previous tenants had emptied it once in the whole time they lived there. It's a wonder they got their clothes to dry at all.

The landlords came last night to clean the carpets, but cleaned ONLY the carpets. Although I'm starting to bring some order to the downstairs where I'm living, the main floor of the house is still a total disaster. I'll let the upstairs people deal with that when the move in because I still have more to do in my area. Tonight I shall tackle the refrigerator with its many unknown substances and noxious smells.

Remember to bring a canary with you in a little cage. If the Canary dies, get out me there and call the local biohazard team.

Oh, and my wallet was stolen... there goes eighty dollars right there.

I have less than a month left on my lease, during which time I need to graduate, attend a wedding, find a buyer for my gigantic couch, find a new place to live, do some massive server juggling at work, attend probably 8-10 more meetings about the server-juggling, find a full-time job. All of these things are ... substantial.

My roommate still hasn't paid his half of the bills for last month. I'm going to catch him and get him to cough up a check tonight though.

And All the previous tenants left alive? Be careful... maybe there is someone buried under the bio hazardness....

Anyways...
So yesterday we were allowed to leave early from work (5:30 instead of the regular 7pm or the lately 9pm extended).
I arrive at home and the first thing Im told is to be quiet because my 3 year nephew is sleeping. I asked why was he here. Father told me my sister had something to do and left the kid there... thanks a lot.
Anyway... I asked if he was on her old room. No, he was left in the living room, where the tv, cable, ps2, dvd and mostly everything is (only my computer is somewhere else) and thus I ask: then I can't do anything? Father got mad. Bah.

So I go to the bathroom and while in there I hear my sister arriving and yelling, waking up the kid. And I was like: WTF? Stupid sister.

I get out of the bathroom, no longer caring about the noise, since the kid was awake, and my older brother says: "you just don't care don't you? can't do anything without making so much noise? your nephew was asleep" . WTF? The damn kid was awake already! He was there when my sister woke him up. Stupid brother with nephew complex...

So... since they can't stand me making noise I go to my room and watch Darker than Black with the headphones. Father goes to my room, and upon seeing I have them on, instead of touching my shoulder or anything he starts yelling so I notice him. Just what the fuck?

After that I took about 1 hour to get out of my bad mood... geez....

My IB tests are starting tommorow. If anyone has been through the program, you know how it feels.... -_-

I feel sorry for you darkmetal505, my cousin went through the IB here in mobile, and i did a little AP myself, so I can imagine. Good luck man.

I got a fucking detention today for not being in proper uniform, Not that I was not in a school Uniform, just that I was in a UNIFORM polo shirt on a mass day instead of a button down uniform shirt. Go Catholic school.

I loved mass days because we had to wear ties, and after the mass I'd always take off my tie and wear it around my head. I must have looked like a dork, but I felt like the coolest kid alive.


I've got 2 of my final exams tomorrow. The fact that they're both non-cumulative chased away my sense of urgency. Now they're 11 hours away and I've only began studying for 1. In reality, I don't have much to bitch about since it's my fault. But still.

:mad:

You people must enjoy the high-school anime a lot more than I do, because you actually know first hand this uniform stuff. I don't think there's a single school in this whole country that would use uniforms (or would have ever used for that matter).

I'm fairly sure you're wrong about that, unless you don't have any catholics there or have compulsory public education or something. Many religious schools, particularly catholic schools, have dress codes. Military academies, too.

Had 2 finals today, after the second one I found out I had somehow completely missed an essay, not an even turned it in late, not even just decided not to do it, just completely have no memory of it. I mean I don't know how I coulden't have heard of it, I really have ZERO memory on the subject, I think its definately the professor's fault.

Ok, so I'm streaming music from the net right before going to school and all of a sudden the music starts slowing down, eventually coming to a stop. Now the thing is, everything was already buffered and I couldn't find any problems. So I left for school wondering what in the hell happened. I come home, turn on my monitor and boot up more music, I get a blank blue screen of death(Vista Ultimate)....it stays there. I restart, log in, and all of a sudden my sound driver is knocked out. I connect to realtek, download sound drivers, and it just wont install. I turn off enforce driver signature and run as administator. No Go. I try about 20 different drivers, all no go. I do a system restore to two days ago.

I boot up again after the system restore, finally have my drivers back and launch Counterstrike, only to get another BSOD, blank again. So I figure, okay this has to be heat issues. Before my machine has much chance to cool down I enter my bios to check out the temperature. Its all good, save something else catchs my eye.

"CHIP fan RPM 0"....................

I shut her down, plug her out and destatic myself. I plug her in, power her on and behold a dead chipset fan. Now I call up ASUS(creator on motherboard and chipset fan" I then learn that it is a well known fact that the currently dead chipset fan I own is prone to dying, and ASUS is giving me a free and better replacement. I would have bought a far better one myself save the fact I cant find one with the right mount.

Now to put the icing on the cake. I have to wait 15-20 business days for my chipset fan replacement. =) And of course that means I'll be without my machine for quite some time. I got so angry I went over to my rabbits cage, took out the rabbit, held it by its leg and throw/slammed it against the wall, leaving a bloody smear and dead rabbit in my room along with a comatose machine. (Last rabbit part I made up but still...I was pretty angry)

Now I'm stuck using my laptop for a few weeks without Photoshop. I could install it on my laptop and use my desktops mouse, but I'm far too lazy to and the colors on my notebooks screen just isnt....accurate enough.

So the moral of this story is I got anally screwed with a known defective chipset fan(not even a heatsink) and I am going to walk funny after that screwing session until my net chipset fan arrives. Then comes the enjoyable process of cutting my fingers replacing that horrendously stupidly built chipset mount/fan.

And theres my rant.....

Buy a better fan from Newegg and do 2 day shipping :D

after all the trouble i went through to ensure i graduate, it might get fucked up...

my second major requires I get at least a B- on all courses for it. This semester I'm taking a course in the history department that is cross listed under my major. The prof is a very smart, very reputable expert in his field, but he's an absolute dick and hates my guts (I fell asleep in his class once, once, and his is from 2:45-4:30 on a day I have classes straight from 9AM until 9PM...)

basically I got my resubmitted midterm paper back today only to discover that he gave me NO extra points whatsoever for completely redoing the whole paper, about 2 days of solid library digging and writing. Not a single extra point. And his comments go along the lines of: "you add a great deal of context to the analysis, but you still fail to improve your analysis". I'm sorry, but I just don't understand... I know I could have done a better job, but to not give me a single extra point, that's some bullshit...

An old computer of mine with an Abit motherboard used to have a chipset fan that would break approximate once a year (more or less). At one point the shopkeeper of the place where I bought new ones suggested I don't get a new fan but a better passive cooling element (heatsink) and so be spared of the trouble of replacing the stupid fan. A very good deal.

But I guess that's not an option with your mobo, or you would have already marched to a shop and got one instead of bowing down before the mighty Asus...

I hate the bus drivers! They’re just so full of it. Today I was accused for free riding on the bus. I was taking the bus home from school with some of my classmates. I couldn’t find my bus card. So I showed the driver my wallet and said that I have my card in the bag, but I couldn’t find it. The bus driver claimed that I wouldn’t pay and was trying to free ride. He stopped the bus and maid me pay. I was mad, but I was bit embarrassed too. I don't care that much about the money, it was just the principle. He could've waited, but instead he made a big deal out of nothing.

I wanted to punch him. This isn’t the first time. There was also another time. The driver (another one) flipped because I tried to exit the bus in the front. He grabbed my arm and asked if I was a retard. “You’ll exit at the back and if you’ll try that again, I’ll punch you.” He said.

Fu** those bastards!

Edit: You got a point there. But I taken the bus for almost 2 years now. I even showed the guy my school card. And they always let students ride even if they have forgotten their card. And if you get caught free riding you can send a print of your card to the traffic office and pay 7$.

The detail that escapes me is why you couldn't find the card. If the driver so insisted on seeing it (like he probably has to to keep his job), then you should have used all the time in the world to dig the card out of your bag. If you had totally lost it or left it at home or something, then obviously you would have no other option than to pay. It's always like that with such things. Of course it's clear as water for you that you do own a card even if it's not in your hand, but the driver has no concrete way of knowing it without having the reader read it.

College is great huh?

Ok, Here we go. My day starts at 11:30 as I wake up to go take a shower before work. Good so far... Then I remember "Shit, My work uniform is at my dads." Well that is alright so I drive over there get it and go to work. Everything Peachy.

I get to work and go to the job site (catering) and we start the job. We go through the usual, I am carving the roast beef, everything is fine. Well the people decided to stay for Fucking 3 hours after they ate and we couldn't leave till we broke down the drink station. So what so far, We load everything we can into the truck and wait... and wait.... and wait. Finally we get to leave. We get back to the shop and unload the truck and I sign out and one of the girls I was working with comes up to me and says, "Oh by the way, I didn't want to tell you earlier during the job, butyou ripped a huge hole in your pants...."

I honestly wanted to turn around and slap the bitch and be like, "Why didn't you tell me then you fucking whore, now I have gone around making an Ass of myself (Literally) all night!"

Ok, Whatever, I let it slide and make a joke, whatever, just a little pissed. So now I get home and find my cable is out... Won't reconnect when I reset it. I am pissed at this point. I call the 1-800 number and all I get is "Hey sorry your area is having technical Difficulties"....

FUCK BITCH I KNOW THAT, when will it be fixed.... ma'am.

And now I and on fucking 56K which is more like 40K and it is Pissing me the fuck off, Watch it take 5 minutes to post this message.

Damnit....[/EndRant]

I got fired from my job at the corn chip factory. What the fuck? Everyone was satisfied with my work except one of my fuckin fat whore bosses. And she tells me I didn't "impress her one bit" when I worked my ass off the whole day the other day. Its like 105 degrees F in that motherfucker and I was dragging trying to pack 40 bags of chips a minute, when I should have been in the back stacking boxes where they always put me.

I asked her if she could get her fat ass out there and do my job.

Only job in this town that pays decently and of course I'm in the shit again with no way of moving away from this fucking hole in the ground
