What pissed you off today? Mark III

New high-profile project announced for my company. It's an utterly fucking terrible idea, and people have been congregating in cubicles to ask "why the fuck are we doing this?"

At least I have a good excuse not to be anywhere near it, but I feel so sorry for the poor schmucks who do.

Need. Details.
 
Having a friend deal with a serious medical issue but I'm thousands of miles away and only able to offer verbal support.

How some parents treat their kids. Mine were less than optimal. We have a friend we are rescuing from a horribly abusive household that is transgender mtf. Her parents are cruel, her sister a sow that does not talk to her at all. My friend about cried when my boys called her auntie Stormie the first time and lunge-hugged her (they're 3 and almost 5). She thought she'd never hear those words.

I just don't get how a parent could hate their child, even though I lived it firsthand. I understand frustration and disappointment and anger as a parent in general, and could even forgive a small degree of wtf initially over her coming out. But for years? Thats not loving your child. That is loving your ideal of them, which isn't real at all.

Also, why in the name of all the gods did none of my healthcare team tell me there's a movement disorder specialist in a city well within driving range?!? I needed to see them almost two years ago and I found out we had one only today from my general care doc? Not my neurologist, not my psychologist, both whom should have known. Omfg I don't even have words for how frustrating and infuriating that is. Is there a word that combines the two, because vexed just ain't enough.
 
Unboxing a new toy I was looking forward to using.
Opened the manual...

"Insert the driver disk into your CD drive to begin installation"

No CD drive.
[ Profanity ]
That was stupid of me.

Get an external....works just as well.
 
A snake.
A snake dressed as a man. A snake who sweet talks my friends. Who is just truthful enough, but not honest. Who slithers through hearts and minds and pussies and comes out unscathed. He can be charming, he can hypnotize, but his blood is cold.
He's a reptile.

I see you. Get back in your hole in the dirt.
 
I feel awful. This pain is so bad it's making me nauseous. I've never felt pain so bad it made the rest of me ache and feel sick.
 
Repeating a stupid thing is still stupid the second time.
Repeating a stupid thing louder is still stupid the third time.
Repeating a stupid thing louder and slower is still stupid the fourth time.
Perhaps just think for a second and don't say the stupid thing in the first place.
 
Idiots who, again, believe that having a high score in League of Legends is good to have on a resume!

If he is stupid, maybe he doesn't realize.
 
Adobe's unwillingness to update photoshop's tablet compatibility.
This bug is happening to my new drawing tablet, I've scoured the internet for days and found no working fixes or workarounds. Adobe assures me it's a problem with my tablet (as they've apparently told thousands of other people too) yet this bug is exclusively only happening on photoshop, is cross-tablet-model, cross-OS version, cross OS-type, and occurs on photoshop versions going back to CS3.

There's apparently no hope for my thing ever working properly for more than a few seconds at a time and I'm not willing to downgrade to gimp so I have to send it back and get a Wacom or something which seems to be less likely to develop this issue. :mad:

*scratches head*

Sometimes I'm very glad that we have a recruitment company filter out the chaffiest chaff before we look at applicants.

I work for my cousin and her wife's company part-time, recruiters for tech jobs and a temp agency. I am the guy who has to read resumes on Tuesdays and Thursdays!

Oh dear. Our recruiters once sent us a list of selected highlights from the resumes they'd rejected, so that we could better appreciate what they were doing for us, and oh my god, how do people get a university degree and still write such stuff?

This person just sent in the resume, spitballing and praying. It's not the most outrageous item we've seen but it was up there.
 
A wish for a body that functions- denied. Stuck in bed before 5PM for the night. Fuck, I hate this disorder.
 
Posted that I was happy too soon. AC isn't working and it's 90F inside. Can't sleep.
