Today at work we were told:
"You may leave early today, we need to update the system" - 1 Hour and a Half earlier. Yay... but then...
"Oh yeah, and to compensate we are staying until 11pm tomorrow and thursday"
WTF?? 8 more hours for leaving 1 hour and a half early?
I hate the boss' temporary suplent... (boss was pregnant until several weeks ago)
I hate how Windows 2003's Certification Authority doesn't make it easy to sign certificates from non-windows sources (ie: openssl).
Also, OS-X DNS resolution is totally fucking broken for local networks (trailing dot required? WTF!). And that pisses me off.
Finally, I hate that I've been at my job for 3 years and don't get paid vacation time, nor have I gotten a raise in the time I've been there. It ... sort of pisses me off a bit.
On the bright side, I know enough about everything I'm doing to document it all and fix the things I jury-rigged together over the last 3 years before I graduate...
Yesterday I gave my friend, who also happens to be my neighbor, a ride to school in the morning. On the way, she said if she could get a ride back home after school. I asked what time. She said 6-7. I said that's a bit late, but I'll see if I can make it work. At around 5, I called her and said I was gonna leave. She says she can finish whatever she's doing by 6:30, so if I could wait until then... I said okay I'll stay, because I had my laptop and was gonna do a programming assignment anyway. I went to meet her at the library.
She had to go to some seminar at 6 and said she'd probably be done by 6:30. She was there with another friend and I deviced a plan for her to contact me (I don't have a cellphone). The plan is: when her thing ends around 6:30, she will call the friend who happens to be sitting next to me. When the friend picks up the phone, I will leave and wait for her outside a nearby building. This is because I don't want to talk to the friend. So far, the plan sounds pretty good. However, I didn't take one factor into account...
And that is the friend leaving the library before she's done. The friend left at around 6:15, leaving no way for her to contact me. Oh well, that's fine, because her thing ends at around 6:30 and taking walking distance into account, I'll go wait for her at 6:40. So come 6:40, I go outside and start waiting. I waited for a very long time and she still hasn't come. I was like wtf... At 7:20, I go to a nearby phone to call her and ask where the hell she was.
She says she's at another friend's dorm studying. I was like WTF?!?! She told me her seminar ended at 7:05 and since it was pretty late, she assumed I left already. She said she didn't want to walk all the way over here (5 minutes tops, if you walk as slow as a turtle) to check if I'm still waiting. As this conversation carried on, I got more and more pissed. Seriously, why the hell would I leave? I'm not one to leave others behind despite how long I wait.
A similar incident happened a couple months ago and she was involved in that as well. I was extremely pissed at how she simply didn't bother to walk over here and check if I'm still waiting. That phone call concluded with her asking how she can make up for this. I just said "Don't bother. Forget about it." She then asks why. Like...wtf??? Is she expecting me to explain this answer? It's not all that hard to understand. By now it was 7:35 and I ended the call by saying "Have fun studying. We'll talk later."
Today I called her to borrow her camera for a school project, because my batteries are dead. First thing she asks me: "Are you doing this because of what happened last night?" WTFFFFFFF? Since when is borrowing a camera an act of revenge? And plus, knowing me as well as she does, I am not someone that dwells on matters like this. Last night she wanted to make up for this, and now she's relunctant to lend me her camera? What am I gonna do? Smash it?
Ok and here's the kicker: she sees me as her closest friend, and I guess that's true. She shares a lot of things with me that she probably shouldn't share simply because I'm the only one she can trust completely. She trusts me so, yet assumed I'd ditch her because she was running a bit late after a seminar?
Answer: girls are stupid
welcome to life. you'll find that its a bitch.
Not really. Just sounds like your friend is damn inconsiderate. I have guys who are pretty shit at keeping time. But she does sound like she's an idiot as well.
MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii
Indeed. It's extremely inconsiderate because she's the one that requested the drive back home as well. Thinking reversibly, that could also explain why she asked if borrowing the camera would be a revenge; she must realise she was way out of line and is conserned you might be pissed off.
I'm not trying to be a jackass and mean no offence whatsoever, but the fact you don't have a cellphone might also be a factor here. Most of the people nowadays have one, and so it's considered a standard way to arrange things these days, decreasing the need for planning and agreeing on everything well beforehand. Thus when somebody doesn't have one, it irritates other people who are thoroughly accustomed to handing everything here and now, everywhere, and changing preplanned plans, like it's possible with cellphones.
Inconsiderate people suck. Don't stay an extra hour just to give someone a ride home, especially when it's pretty obvious they weren't depending on you to begin with.
That's what I think, anyway =D.
I hate cellphones.
Especially when the call me home at night, work related
For me having a car and a phone is essential for work. However I do agree that irresponsible people are the worst. Don't let your kindness be your weakness. It's alright to treat your friends well, but the line is crossed when they start to exploit you because of "convenience". I don't understand the camera bit too, but if she's a close friend you can always talk it over cause it's not too big an issue after all.

I know what you mean. Once I start making more than $0 a month (2 months from now) I'll consider getting one.Originally Posted by Kraco
Man BoC I know exactly what you mean. I've been left behind by so called friends before and have had the exact similar situation of waiting and you find you've waited for no reason. Seems to be the trend at college (I'm assuming you're in college also) full of inconsiderate people IE MY FUCKING ROOMMATE!!!
It's a trend that people are unconciously following.
just put your phone on manner mode, dude

i work 20+ hours a week at a dead-end job.
i'm swamped carrying 20 credits this semester.
i still need to find a real job for after this year.
i haven't watched an anime in a week.
i wasn't able to pre-order a Ps3 or a Wii.
i fight just about every other time i see my "girlfriend"
fuck.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
I would, but then we get scolded for being unavailable when a system crisis occurs.
Anyways.
I also hate to sit at work without doing anything. The system failed today and we could not work during all the morning.
Seems the system is up already though.
So I have to write an essay on how narrators work in the construction of an alternate world in the poetry of the First World War and it's effects on WHO CARES?!?
I know literature isn't the most useful subject to know about, but even then, why can't I write my essays on something relevant?
oh bitch bitch bitch....thats all you people ever do.
@WD: because you chose to study literature. its irrelevant by definition.
Okay, me and my friend are chilling at Starbucks, he is studying, I had a reading to do but I wasn't doing it so I was just sitting there. I was looking at the painting they have and for some reason I just got into this really peaceful state, as if I was enshrouded in a ball and my mind and everything was calm. As I am enjoying this, suddenly these kids who I hate, and who know I hate them, come in to the picture, of course being loud and obnoxious as always. They begin to talk to my friend, who doesn't like them much either, but he is unlike myself, in that he feels the need to play along and act, while I see no advantages in doing so. Anyway this group of people have done fucked up shit, eventually leading to them calling the cops on me and almost getting me arrested, my friend knows all this of course. Yet, he still acts as if everything is cool and actually says he doesn't mind them. I just feel there is something inherently wrong about that, as if it is dishonest in some way, and I also feel like my friend is fucking me over by acting as if there is nothing wrong with the situation.
Thats my bitching for now.
I know! It's like you attend to college to learn how to sound like a self-important douchebag! And even then, that essay is pointless. If it's pointless within the pointless, what does that make it?
And SK... wow, that's just bad, bad luck. What a sucky situation.
Got all four of my wisdom teeth out today. Yeah... I don't think I need to elaborate.
