Things that piss you off

[Cthulhu]

The office becoming increasingly busy with people running around, multiple conversations going around, a dozen people coming by, all in a single room where people such as yours truly are trying to work to create the Awesomest Code Ever Written.

Dear job. When you have developers working for you, please adhere to the Programmer's Bill of Rights. Overview:

Every programmer shall have two monitors

I have, but one's my laptop which has to be half a mile away so I can't practically use it.

Every programmer shall have a fast PC

I have a laptop, that should sum it up. Today, the virusscanner decided it should run and I could /not/ turn it off, my account did not have the powerz. I even rebooted, but it just kept on going. Monitoring it with a program of sorts showed it processed 140 GB of whatever throughout the day.

Obviously, this makes for a very slow laptop, even if it has a low priority - hard drive is slow. Everyone should be entitled to a fast SSD and gratuitous amounts of memory, plus the right to kill the virusscan process if it comes 'round to annoy. It's not funny to have to wait for half a minute after automatically hitting ctrl + s and continue working. Obviously, I didn't get much work done tomorrow, .

Every programmer shall have their choice of mouse and keyboard

I have this, actually. I'm not entirely content (nor are my arms), but I guess it's the best I can get.

Every programmer shall have a comfortable chair

My chair sucks, my desk is at the wrong height, and neither are adjustable enough to get them right.

Every programmer shall have a fast internet connection

I have this, 10 - 20 MB/s download speeds are not uncommon, .

Every programmer shall have quiet working conditions

See above rant. If I were to have perfect working environments, I'd have my own office or at least a soundproofed cubicle in a quiet office. Alas, I lack those, and make do with headphones, and even with all that I still get interrupted regularly by menial tasks, emails, or, in case I have those turned off, angry (or at least slightly annoyed) colleagues that wonder if I have read that email yet.


Lucky for me, I start a new job as an apprentice april 1st at a Real Programmer's company, which should respect the above, . Although the thing that should pass as an office I've seen doesn't, and I'll most likely be sent out to work at various other companies a lot. We'll see. Things should get better though.

Mo seriously power-cuts, FUCK OFF.
It's hard enough writing an essay that's due for tomorrow, and it's made worse by you tripping out and leaving me with 200+ words to write each time i recover my document.

FUCK

[Max Caulfield]

Called Toshiba today. Apparently, they've had my computer for over a week but just hadn't gotten around to checking it in. The guy I talked to said he would have it sent over to be processed and would send me an email as to when I'm getting my refund.

I was bitchfacing the entire conversation. If only expressions could travel through phone.

My brother got attacked by a dog while we were out walking this evening. Luckily he wasn't badly hurt, and the owners of the dog gave us the contact information for their vet so we can confirm that the dogs shots are recent. Still scared scared the shit out of us at first though.

 

[Ⓐaron]

- Assessment questions that can be answered in a sentence, but have a required length of a paragraph. Puffing and buffering answers is frowned upon, making legitimate expansion of short answers hard.

WHY, WTF?

 

[Dana Scully]

A rape victim is slamming the controversial decision of a Manitoba judge who gave her attacker a lenient sentence on the basis she may have sent out mixed signals about her sexual intentions.
"This is beyond sexist. I don't even know how to comment on it. No woman asks to be raped. I'm so pissed off," the 26-year-old single mother told the Free Press in an exclusive telephone interview Thursday from her rural Manitoba home. "Nobody knows what it was like to be in this position. It's not something I'd ever want to go through again. No woman should have to."
Kenneth Rhodes was given a two-year conditional penalty last week, which allows him to remain free in the community. The Crown wanted at least three years behind bars, citing numerous case precedents suggesting that is the starting point for a major sexual assault.
Queen's Bench Justice Robert Dewar disagreed, saying the victim gave out signs "sex was in the air" through her suggestive attire and flirtatious conduct on the night of the attack. He called Rhodes a "clumsy Don Juan" who may have misunderstood what the woman wanted when he forced intercourse along a darkened highway outside Thompson in 2006.
"That's bulls---t," the victim said Thursday. "I did say no to him. I kept saying no. He knew that I didn't want (sex)."

Rhodes and a friend met the woman and her girlfriend earlier that night outside a bar under what the judge called "inviting circumstances." Dewar specifically noted the women were wearing tube tops with no bra, high heels and plenty of makeup.
"They made their intentions publicly known that they wanted to party," said Dewar. He said the women spoke of going swimming in a nearby lake that night "notwithstanding the fact neither of them had a bathing suit."
"I wasn't dressed like a skank. I was like 20 years old, wearing a tube top. It was summer," said the victim, who cannot be identified as she is the victim of a sexual assault.
The foursome left the parking lot in a vehicle and headed into the woods, court was told. Rhodes began making sexual advances toward the victim, who initially rejected him but later returned his kisses. Rhodes then forced himself upon the woman once they were alone.
"I didn't like the guy. He was beyond creepy, a real pervert," she said Thursday. "He deserves to be behind bars for what he did." She had asked her friend to stop the car to let her out because she no longer wanted to be near Rhodes. Unfortunately, he also exited as the other two drove away, leaving them alone together on the highway.
Rhodes pleaded not guilty at the trial on the basis he thought the woman had consented. Dewar rejected his defence, but said aspects of it could be considered in sentencing.
"This is a different case than one where there is no perceived invitation," said Dewar. "This is a case of misunderstood signals and inconsiderate behaviour." Dewar said he didn't want to be seen as blaming the victim but all of the factors surrounding the case must be viewed to assess "moral blameworthiness."
"I'm sure whatever signals were sent that sex was in the air were unintentional," he said. The Crown has 30 days to file an appeal of Dewar's decision. No decision had been made as of Thursday.
"I hope they appeal. I would like some justice. This is not real justice to me. It's a slap on the wrist," said the victim.
The woman said she has suffered severe psychological trauma from the attack, including trust issues with men and a fear of being alone.
"It's impacted me in so many ways," she said. The woman also bears a permanent reminder of what Rhodes did to her in the form of a scar on her knee, a sign of the violence the much larger man used to restrain her.
Defence lawyer Derek Coggan told court last week it's clear alcohol was a factor for both his client and the victim in terms of their ability to make good judgments. He said Rhodes never threatened the woman, didn't have a weapon and was simply "insensitive to the fact (she) was not a willing participant."
Dewar agreed the case was not "typical" of ones the courts often see and shouldn't be viewed as a precedent.
"There is a different quality to this case than many sexual assaults," he said. "Not all guilty people are morally culpable to the same level. This difference is not to be reflected in conviction. It can be reflected in sentencing."
Rhodes has also been ordered by the judge to write a letter of apology to the victim -- something the woman says she has no interest in reading.

I am so fucking furious about this there aren't even words. Thankfully I'm not alone in my rage, this judge is already getting a whole lot of shit.

yes ladies, wear nothing that can be even remotely construed as sexual. You can't break off any advances you may have made either, I mean a man has his needs. It was obviously your fault for being such a skank, you should have stayed inside wearing long underwear.

This is pretty common over here.
It's standard practise for most police officers called out to rape cases to ask the female what she did to instigate the attack. Makes me absolute sick to my stomach that anyone would say that to a rape victim let alone it being the police who are there to put scum like rapists in jail.

what the fuck

That's just so fucking wrong.

God dammit, human race, this is why it's so hard to have any faith in you.

• Dear asshole drivers,
  
  If traffic is backed up to the intersection and the light turns yellow, you are an asshole if you continue through the intersection at this point. Since you don't have anywhere to go. Which means that you'll be blocking the fucking intersection, which is illegal and dangerous and means anyone who needs to get through the damn thing is going to be stuck until you can move. Which, contrary to your expectations that you are the centre of the universe, you cannot do until traffic clears up, which is entirely beyond your control. I got stuck behind assholes doing this not once, but twice. The first time only one car made it through the fucking intersection before the light turned red. The second time the light had almost turned red by the time anyone managed to make it through, but at least I got through that time. In short I had to wait for the damn light to go through it entire cycle twice over, because I got there when it was red to start with.
  
  In conclusion, fuck you.
  
  No love,
  
  Aaron
  
  
• Dear customers,
  
  If the computer system says we don't have a book in stock, we don't have the fucking book in stock. Especially since we just ran inventory last week. Continuing to pester booksellers in hopes that one of them will give you a different answer will accomplish nothing except wasting their time and pissing them off. And if you don't have an author for the book and there are several dozen books with the same title (because it's named after an incredibly clichéd phrase), don't expect us to be able to order it for you.
  
  No love,
  
  Aaron

WHY, WTF?

fated children hasn't even existed for like half a year? wtf?

 

[Bex]

Children piss me off.
Srsly, parents, keep control of them, or keep them on a leash.

When I'm in a fucking queue, I don't expect to be blocked by two little shits who feel it's neccessary to play with the rope barrier to block me off from the cashier. I also don't want to have to be the one to pluck the rope from your children's fat little fingers and place it back on the pole, which I did, as well as telling the children to stop messing around. THIS IS YOUR JOB, INCOMPETANT MAN, I DON'T PLAN TO BE A MOTHER. Not to mention these were the worst kind of children who were running around and getting in my way when I was buying rhythm games. Fuckers, no-one gets between me and Rock Band.

Also when I'm queuing to get a coffee, I don't want to be held up by some little shit hammering on the glass and screaming at daddy until he buys the cake that he wants. I just want a fucking caramel macchiato, not a migraine.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

I was going to post a rant about being unable to find a place because it has moved and google maps has apparently not updated the new location. But then I read that lenient rape sentencing thing above and now that's all I have room to be angry about.

 

[Madame Mayor]

yes ladies, wear nothing that can be even remotely construed as sexual. You can't break off any advances you may have made either, I mean a man has his needs. It was obviously your fault for being such a skank, you should have stayed inside wearing long underwear.

/eyeroll

Bolded because that's exactly what I was going to say. No matter how far along you were, like if you were making out, taking clothes off... if you decide no, how does that make it less rape?

Holy fuck I hope that judge gets fired over this and some feminists kick his ass.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

You know, I just thought of something. The article mentions alcohol playing a role for both parties, the perpetrator and the victim. Is there not precedent for convictions in rape cases where the woman did not in fact say no, but was ruled to be incapable of legally consenting to sex because she was impaired by alcohol? Or am I confusing television with reality again? Note, if I am remembering this correctly, I am even more pissed off about this bullshit than before.
