The Isolated Blurt Thread IX: Insurrection

Look, I get it. Sometimes you just have to have that very loud conversation on the train, you have to yell into your phone about your best friend's work problems but could you at least wear cuter shoes?

And quiet perfume, dammit. If your gonna be loud don't smell loud.

Agreed, so agreed.

Both, huge pet peeves of mine. Also, Ppl eating loudly in the seat next to me. I've ridden the train with ppl eating full rib dinners. Truth!

Good Grief, wait for 15 minutes until you get home.

Agree. Too many times I have smelled a person BEFORE they were in my view. And, oh my word! Forget elevators! I try taking the stairs as much as I can.

I'm looking forward to seeing if my cholesterol has dropped, yes.

Cholesterol went up from 139 to 142.

I suck at life.

They've taken away our ability to meet with the laboratory staff about purchasing...it's been this way for several years now, it's the difference in culture, they don't do *that* so why should we?

Right...so, now they've overspent their budget by nearly $30k and left nothing as a buffer for books because they're buying crap no one will ever look at, but God forbid we give an opinion about this.

My boss is coming in for performance appraisals this week...I just want to sit and stare at her because, quite frankly she is dragging us down to an unacceptable level. It's clearly not about the quality any longer. And I have nothing constructive to say...well, that's not true, but the truth is...I'd be talking to a wall...so why waste the precious breath I've been given.

The fun has been completelt sucked out of this job. I waited too long...I should have jumped on the other job 2 months ago.

And now, I'll have to go around begging for money from the researchers. *sigh*

God bless Lipitor. Took me from 212 down to 140-ish two years ago, and I can eat anything I want.

That moment when I haven't heard back from the boyfriend and I panic thinking that I might have sent that incredibly snarky text regarding my coworkers to said coworkers.


I didn't but that really got the blood flowing.

 

[NHKitty]

I need a hero.

Or at least comedic relief.

 

[trysail]

Because I can (and it's fun)— and that's all the excuse that's required.

Those researchers best know that without you, their work will be mediocre at best. The young ones don't understand. They think Google holds the world's knowledge. And that is not the case.

Thanks Thor, but sadly the ones who know better are slowly retiring. I don't think there will ever not be a Library, but because we're part of this bigger organization now it's much more difficult to be a champion for the ones who value what we do. It's depressing to have been stripped of the power of communication.

More rant then blurt......

I hate the holidays. I hate when you come to visit....with your lame-ass husband. Fake as hell the both of you. The hell you put our father through every fucking year with these dumb 'visits'.

First, you call to make the big reveal of when you're coming to visit. Dad gets excited about seeing you and I enjoy the twinkle in his eyes knowing he's that excited. Second, if we are lucky....we see you the day you finally arrive in our area. Dad beams big smiles, hugs and kisses you lots.

From there, it's all down hill. You NEVER stay near either one of us when you visit. You always stay with that fucking bitch Dad used to date what?? 15 YEARS ago?? You know damned well she continues to bad mouth our father after all these years. Dad was never perfect but for fucksakes! The bitch refuses to let ANYTHING go.
If we are ever lucky enough, we get to see you twice during your 'visit'.

I'm just done. I'm tired of the shit you have pulled on Dad. I don't give a shit what you do to me. You did enough when we were kids and nothing you do or say surprises me anymore. We used to be so close but I'm done trying to maintain this after all these years. You've made it VERY obvious how you feel about me. If you ever need a kidney, don't ever think to ask me.

All these years and you keep saying you miss Dad. Really? You have a strange way of showing that! Rarely returning his phone calls and these piss-poor once a year visits. Please!!!!
Just so you know, I really wish I could tell you how he is NOT looking forward to this November visit. For his sake, I'm keeping my big mouth shut.

So, when our Dad passes away, if I hear you say, "I wish I'd had more time with him" I believe I may choke you to death so you get your wish.

Sorry to anyone who reads this but I had to get this out of me.

There are some libraries that have recently closed and all the documents were purged.

Possibly. Are you willing to sing it to me?

Sadly, I admit that I had to help close one down in Savannah years ago. It was U-G-L-Y.

sure!

I left my iPad in my office. God dammit

I feel like if the old, white men who run this country and have since the 70's cared about Africans dying in the Congo then this wouldn't have been such an epidemic now. But yeah, I enjoy watching the old, white guys on this board try to explain why this is Obama's fault.
