The Bitching Thread

[complich8]

Questions:
How the hell is everyone getting laid but me?

You probably know the answer to that.

How the hell isn't this thread in the pit?

This thread is civil. The pit is not. Clearly you don't understand the difference between the pit and the rest of the boards. I suggest you re-read the description of the pit as found on the front page of the forums, and the "welcome" sticky in the pit itself.


And, to stay topical...

My bitch of the day: the recruiter who was trying to get me to take a worse job than the job I took totally fucking lied to me, because he was pissed about losing the commission for finding me. He told me I should expect 2 or 3 hours a day to go the 16 miles south to get to work if I took the job I took (as opposed to the pretty much guaranteed 20 minute northbound ride it'd be to take the job he was recruiting me for). But today I drove it between 8:30 and 9:00 am (pretty much peak rush hour), and it took like exactly half an hour. And that was with an accident causing slowdowns about halfway there.

Seriously, he was offering a pretty comical amount of money while I was on contract, but that'd just make the pay cut of going permanent sting more. And a 9-10+ hour workday + 40 minute round trip commute is WAY worse than an 8 hour workday + 60 minute commute.

Also, the salary they wanted to hire me (promising me 50+ hour workweeks) was, given the amount of work I'd be doing, NOT comparable to the salary I got. In retrospect, them trying to sell it like it was a great position was just ... shitty, really. If you need 60 hours a week of sysadmin work fighting fires, you don't hire one good sysadmin and expect him to put in crap hours, you hire two good sysadmins and expect them to keep up with the fires and improve the setup to the point where they're not constantly firefighting, and hope that either your business grows to support the need for them as they get on top of things.

Where do babies come from?

So what's the plan now Chiodos ?

The plan? All I can do is give her support, show that I care and i actually want, how painfull it is for her, share all the shit with me.
I told her that we're in this together, whatever difficulties that she will face.

Today, soon, she try a pregnancy (?) test but the signs that's been showing, I am 69.83% that she is positive.

The thing is, in the current situation, I, we, can hardly keep the child. I don't really have that big fucking great future the way I've been raised but she has. I know I am labelling her but she has a big fucking talent and I don't want to ruin that for her. Atleast not yet.

I want to actually show the kid that there is a way fucking better world than the world that I live in. How naive and childish that seems to be.

[darkshadow]

ugh... yeah another one, actually, make that a very big fucking UGH.... ;(..

I really do not care about the city though... but it left me... incommunicated... I took vacations, but decided to spend them at home... no phone, no tv, no computer, no battery for laptop... no friends because they were working... bleh!

Wow nice. Its been so long, I actually miss the hurricane season. I much prefer my NYC weather though cold, dark and wet.

Break out the candles and the flashlights and invite anyone over who is willing and able. Good times, good times.

I have experience in his pain, it gives me right to laugh.

Ah, I see.

[RyougaZell]

Sad thing is it came un-announced (sp?). It took everyone by surprise. And the media classify it as a hurricane... but it did not even get a name or anything.
Heck... it did not even rain... it just... had wind... at 120km per hour...

Im trying to find a better video... but here you can see the bus crashing, plus the sound and strenght of the wind

The bitching for the day?
Yes.

I will miss In Flames 3 times this year.

[The Heretic Azazel]

I was thinking of catching In Flames at the Village in 3 weeks or so, but I dunno. Their new stuff is really underwhelming. Children of Bodom and Job for a Cowboy are kind of alternately opening for them. Of course it would be JFAC opening at my show. Ugh.

[Chiodos]

Come Clarity was way better than their newest but meh, I still wanna see them even if their not the greatest band live. But still... : )

I was looking at the top 10 rated musical venues in DC.

Apparently, there's like two concerts that I think might be worth seeing in the next two months. One of them is already sold out, and the other is like $45 per ticket for a group of 6 or so bands playing, which means the one band in the group I'd be interested in seeing is going to have like a 3 song setlist.

There's no need to sound so vague. Who's playing? Abba?

Hmm...A minor complaint, but the other day I went out with a couple of friends to this event called "Club Day", where you are able to go to a bunch of clubs in an area of Seoul for a flat rate...long story short, one of my friends says "Let's get fucked up", which I thought he meant that we should just have a couple of shots; but he literally got so drunk that we had to chase him down (much to the chagrin of a few lusty ladies) and force him into a taxi. Nothing against getting drunk, but I wanted to get that off my chest, so to speak.

[complich8]

actually it's worse now ...

Ensiferum is in the group of six, and they're sold out. Symphony X is a little more expensive and will sell out before I have a chance to convince my cohorts to check it out. I don't even remember who the more expensive performances at other venues were, because I wasn't really even into seeing them.

That's the big problem: the groups I'd want to see perform aren't coming here any time soon. I'm stuck debating whether it's worth the cash to go see hit-or-miss local shows at $15-$20 a pop to try to broaden my pool a little... but my roommates are kind of lame as far as willingness to go out and do stuff goes, so I'll probably be on my own if I do start doing that stuff.

K im down for some bitching:

I went to the barbed today and got maimed. Seriously i'm never going back to that place again. It's gonna be a long couple of weeks...

[itadakimasu]

so....2 spider sightings in the apartment, one being a brown recluse prompted the over-reaction of bombing the apartment...

we were at home depot. i found a nice huge bottle of some sort of spray, labelled as scentless... the wife was eyeing the bombs and said something about it would take less time... and what not.

so, i get home at 9:30 after a very long day and its a disaster... everything needs to be whiped down and cleaned. omfg, this is seriously a nightmare. And im taking a break because apparently i wasn't doing things right after vacuuming the bedroom thoroughly, i un-bagged alot of our laundry so it can be folded and put away. i cant do that right so i'm just going to whine on here, and go play some counterstrike in a minute.

[darkshadow]

why didnt you just smash the damn thing, its freaking tiny.

[Animeniax]

why didnt you just smash the damn thing, its freaking tiny.

Which would make it hard to find, which would make it hard to kill, which is why he used the fogger.

@itadakimasu: at least it gave you a good excuse to clean the place for the first time in months.

By bitch: blowhards. People who talk like they know what they're talking about, when you know they don't know sh*t. Frustrating as f*ck to listen to one of these people go on and on, using key and buzz words the other guy provides, in order to make him sound like he knows something. People need some f*cking integrity. If you don't know what you're talking about, shut the f*ck up.

[RyougaZell]

I don't mind April's Fools... in fact I love to see all the jokes posted... but what I hate is when the April's Fools jokes start 3 days prior to the damn day.
Downloaded the srt/ass file for hack TRILOGY, which I've waited forever, just to find it was a stupid joke. Bah!

Today's bitch: Sunday Depression.

Every frickin' Sunday I feel it, and I curse it, but I just can't get around it. I just can't wait for summertime. :P

[Junior]

I feel like bitching.

Those retards at that damn store didn't keep my jacket for me. So when my mom went to pick it up, NOTHING. So she figured she'd get me a new one from the shelf, but they didn't have my size anymore.

SEE. That's what happens when you procrastinate. I was supposed to pick up the jacket on Saturday...so she probably sold it. Or something. (but they normally keep stuff for 2 weeks. it was kepy for like, 5 days.)

Whore.

...That was MY jacket!

Yes, this irritates me on a daily basis.

I've only slept 7 hours in the past 60. I almost couldn't stay awake last night, but luckily I never drink caffeinated beverages so pepsi is like a wonder drug for keeping me awake. I ended up handing in a 35% paper today that I wasn't happy with at all. I have another 30% paper due on Friday, as well as 4 job applications and a scholarship application due tomorrow. I thought that in linguistics I'd be free from this kind of stress. And I'm at the stage of sleep deprivation where I can't even be angry about it. Instead, I really just want to sit down in the middle of the computer lab and cry. Seriously, missing this much sleep messes with your emotions. I almost spent the entire night here last night, and I haven't eaten today because I've been feverishly working on my paper and then had 5 hours straight of class. I just keep reminding myself that it'll be over in two weeks. I want to go home.
