What pissed you off today? Mark II

@MWY - good idea

@WW - unfortunately I can't get paid unless they raise an official order (public body). They won't raise one at the beginning of a project because they need the amount it will cost, and that is an unknown quantity at that point. So that's why the preparatory work is unsanctioned and usually I recover the cost once the print starts. But it's a gamble and this time I've lost because they won't raise an order for work which is effectively redundant now.

@Stella - I will - thank you.
 
Playing poke the sadist with a sadist that I know well and he had consented to and receiving a 15 minute lecture from a subbie who has been in the scene for 2 months about how I should be punished for my behaviour.

After discussion about she considered to be punishment, I not so nicely pointed out that it sounded like funishment and proceeded to give her a lecture about actual punishments and how they not not actually fun.
 
How is it that kitties seen to have such huge, clompy feet in the middle of the night when you are trying to sleep, and then become the most nimble creatures on earth if you try and catch them?!?

I really wish I had that answer to that one as well.

LOLOLOL

Anyways, I totally agree with her-- you should be funished.

It's in the first chapter of "How to terrorize humans".
 
Since my wrist hasn't gotten better as fast as I had hoped and I still can't type as much as I'd like to and I should, I have had to cut down my current work a lot. I have started to look into acquiring another part time job with less typing, and that means I've started going to job interviews again.

At this moment I pretty much feel like I'd rather off myself than go to another one.

Today, what I thought would be a normal job interview, turned out to be one of those group interview things. We were 12 people and we actually had to interview each other. The employers aren't allowed to ask about family, kids, sexual orientation and so on, but apparently it doesn't apply, if you have the interviewees ask those questions from each other. :rolleyes:

To top it off, we had to pair up and roleplay a customer service situation where one was a customer and the other was the employer. The customer had to draw a paper out of a jar with a description of a situation written on it, and then from another jar a paper which marked the language in which the little roleplay had to be played out. Some of the scenarios didn't even have anything to do with the job.

What the fuck!?

I really don't think I'm gonna get it. I was so pissed off by the time I had to place an imaginary phone call in Swedish in which I asked about where the zoo is that the real interviewer no doubt saw it. Not that I care. Wouldn't take the job even if they offered it to me.

I can't believe the day has come when I actually want to teach again.

So, where is the zoo? :p

Quite logically it's not in the part of the city called Zoo, but on an island next to Blueberryland.

Now I started to wonder who gets to name places and whether there actually are any blueberries in Blueberryland. Don't think so, it's mighty rocky terrain.

To get the answer in Swedish, ask Iris. :D My Swedish still and truly sucks, and because the Finnish-Swedish-ness day isn't until Thursday, there's no incentive for me to even try.
 
so... what the fuck was that yesterday? I thought the flu for sure even though I've had my shot, but a day of dayquil and a night of nyquil and I'm mostly okay this morning.

feeling fragile, though. I hate dayquil. :mad:
 
A dear friend of mine was injured in a car accident a few weeks ago...broken collarbone in 2 places, herniated disc in her neck, various cuts and bruises from broken glass, seat belt and airbag. She is a good and gentle soul, and today I learned that it happened because some moron pulled out from a side street and never stopped or bothered to look where he was going. Fortunately there were plenty of witnesses and good samaritans to help her out of her smoking car, call police, etc, and stick around to tell what they saw, so she's completely in the clear and on the mend. But she has two youngish kids and a husband who's away for a business conference. She is much-loved and we're all pitching in to help her.

It just pisses me off when people do stupid things and drag someone else down with them!
 
Every time I think my mother can't be more of an asshole, she somehow manages to prove me wrong. :rolleyes:

YOU'D THINK I'D LEARN EVENTUALLY. :mad:
 
Every freakin' day is another Groundhog Day...

(or, did I already say that?)

*exhausted*
 
Job hunting, gods I hate job hunting. Been doing it for far longer than I ever thought I'd have to. Hubby's out on disability, that pay is a joke.
Fibromyalgia limits me on some jobs just for sheer physicality levels.

I'm doing a second interview/ride along for job that I don't want to do but damnit don't have a choice- if I get an offer I'll take it until something better comes along. 10-12 hour days are the norm with potential job, 5 days a week, so won't get to see my kids much.

But we'll be able to get them and hubby insured.
And the elder in a day care so he gets more socialization.

But fuck, its going to hurt, I know it is. *sighs*
Being a grown up sucks sometimes.
 
Last night rather than today....

Holding my daughter whilst she cried because the skinny girls at school (and their mothers) have been sneering at her about her weight. She doesn't want me to get involved, which I would love to do, so I just cried with her instead. It seemed to help, somehow.
 
You know that place where want meets can't? Yeah. That.

Oh yah, I landed there this afternoon. I had PLANS for this afternoon/evening, good times with friends seldom-seen. But I've had a monster sinus headache for hours that doesn't seem inclined to go bother someone else. Crap!
 
Who gets a pinched nerve in their neck a couple of hours before a meeting?!?

…>_<…
