Things that piss you off

True, it just made me go wtf because it was so random to me, but I'm over it now. Thanks though!

A number of mostly work-related grievances I either forgot or couldn't be arsed to mention earlier, which come from the past several weeks:

• Sick of passive-aggressive bullshit. If you have something to say, say it directly to my face instead of holding a grudge and taking it out on me.
• Synchronised traffic lights are nice for the most part, but they have a downside: when traffic is moving slower than the speed limit, you get slowed down even further because you end up catching lights. It makes being stuck behind a bunch of slow-moving cars even more infuriating than normal.
• We have been sold out of all editions of A Clash of Kings for like a week now. Are our buyers really such idiots that they didn't figure an HBO show would vastly increase the demand for the entire series?
• Similarly, the trade paperback of The Girl Who Played With Fire has been sold out for almost as long. Come on now, Stieg Larsson's books are only far and away the best selling books of our time period. Are we seriously that stupid that we can't know always to have some extra copies on hand? Granted, at least in this case we have some mass-markets, but some people hate mass-markets and refuse to buy them. So that's still probably a few lost sales, and besides, we make more off the trade paperbacks.
• Finding out the reason you were unable to locate a book for a customer was because they had it squirrelled away in the back. Three hours after the customer already left.
• People who don't realise how much they're getting in the way and simply will. not. move. When you say "excuse me," shouldn't that be a clue that maybe they should get the fuck off the floor and stop lounging in front of bookshelves? Ridiculous. Meanwhile the people who are worried they're in the way never actually are.
• People carrying on conversations on their cell phones for like thirty minutes. Don't they realise how goddamn distracting that is?
• For that matter, cell phones.
• Why don't we close this off with a summary of the above: People.

I think there were one or two other things that have irritated me over the past couple of weeks but I can't think of them offhand.

Oh, also

• I had someone ask me where to find an author in the fiction section, which is completely alphabetical by author, after I had explained that it was alphabetical by author. If this is truly how our educational system prepares people for the mind-intensive task of sorting through the alphabet, it's no wonder China is set to overtake our GDP in less than five years.

[Kobato]

My moodswings are all over the place. I'm sad, tried, happy, horny, lazy, entertained, excited, bored, sane, crazy, hyper and calm all at the same time.

And this GIF is too small !

 

[Celes Chere]

I have to wake up in less than two hours

[Elisa Maza]

I HATE EVERYTHING!!!!!

OK, I mostly hate my Internet provider.

For five f***ing days they had cut the connection and they didn't say anything beforehand! MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT, SOMETHING, DAMMIT.

And why did they cut it? To upgrade the network, as they said. In the meantime, my DL speed is the same.

Eff you, OTE. Eff. You.

Unable to find a single monitor stand for sale in the entire city. I mean, seriously, every computer shop looks at me as if I'm insane.

Also, trying to save up to visit a friend abroad in November (so; £850+ for plane ticket, £120+ for train tickets to and fro airport in the UK, ~£80 for passport, £100+ for hotel rooms near the airport in the UK...), and they finally release Persona 3 Portable in the UK. With a Collector's Edition. And Haruhi Suzumiya season 2 and movie not too far off either... NEED MORE MONEY

Waking up to SAD. I just can't stand this feeling, that I have no many things to be happy about, but no matter what I do the weather controls how I feel.

I feel it even when I don't know how it is outside, which is the scary part. I'll start feeling depressed and then say 'oh, I guess it must be shitty outside today', *go look* 'yep'.

Even working sometimes where there's absolutely no natural light I still feel it. Guess I just live in the wrong part of the world.

 

[Joker]

Waking up, period.

Although I'm not nearly as tired as yesterday (lol I actually got some sleep), so I guess that's something.

I think I'm waiting right now. Not sure what I'm waiting FOR, exactly, but something. Something to go right, to help me build some momentum to get myself back on track and out of this funk.

Just wish I knew what I was waiting for so's I could help it come to pass. =/

This. My PC monitor currently stands on a stack of five books (three biographies, Shakespeare and some book about computer networks and internets (yes, plural), and my laptop's on a neat foldable laptop stand and a stack of four books (three biographies and the Design Patterns book).

I bought a monitor stand once, a flexible arm, but it was far too short. I may have to get something like this, only then the variant that can get a monitor up a foot and a half. Off course, a setup like this would be pretty awesome too .

I got four hours of sleep and now I have to work in like, an hour and forty minutes.

This is what I get for staying up all night talking to Aussies about Destrillians.

my roommate decided to call the cops on my friends while they were playing fucking guitar hero
because of ~underage drinking~
i wasn't even fucking there i was at work
the cop showed up and of COURSE nobody was drinking they still had to come pick me up
the cop was pretty much just laughing and said "alright well i'm gonna head off now honestly you guys aren't doing anything wrong so just try not to piss your roommate off"
well that of course pissed me the fuck off but whatever, I wasn't going to let my roommate's passive aggressive bullshit ruin my night. so we were just hanging out in my room and drinking beer, and my other roommate elliot gets home.
elliot seemed upset so i went to his room to talk to him when all of a sudden my bitch roommate (who called the cops) lori
busts in
and she's like okay we all need to talk
and she just starts screaming at me about how my parents never taught me to be an adult and i need to get my shit together and underage drinking is going to cause her to lose her kid (this is the woman that used to BUY US ALCOHOL AND MIX US DRINKS WITH HER KID IN THE HOUSE)
and just
anyways i was crying because my anxiety causes me to be extremely sensitive in high pressure situations
and then i heard my best friend ashley go "oh my god she's yelling at chelsea" and she comes in there, followed by our friend radom
and then christina, my girlfriend comes in
and she says "i told you before i do not like it when you corner my girlfriend and yell at her" and she starts screaming at my girlfriend "fuck you you're not on the lease (which actually christina was GOING to be on the lease i was actually the one who requested she wasn't)" and
then christina says "there's no reason to yell please stop getting in my face"
and lori shoves her
and she shoves back
and next thing i know lori punches my girlfriend in the fucking face, they just went after each other
and i'm sobbing and elliot's trying to break them up
lori is on top of my fucking girlfriend strangling her

anyways i can't even remember what happened after that because i was sobbing so hard but we filed a police report and if anything like this happens again she's going to have charges pressed against her
my girlfriend's neck is bruised and her face and lip is bruised
i just feel so scared and angry and upset

now tonight lori claims she's going to sleep in a fucking wal mart parking lot with her child because she doesn't feel comfortable here??? i just don't even fucking care anymore

i can't believe someone hit my fucking girlfriend just ugh i just
this whole thing has stressed me out so much i called out of work tonight in tears

sigh god damn

 

[looneymoon]

Jegus Chels I wish you would just get out of there. Your roomate is a raging bloodgushing cuntnugget.

Fuck I'd let both of you stay with me for as long as you liked but I live in goddamn Canada on the other side of the continent sdfkkgfjkgdfkgh ;________;

Make sure you take photos of your gf's bruising.

 

[Arianna]

When allergies attack. I thought I could go without my meds, but... I have learned otherwise. Horrendous headache, nausea and sinus pressure. Hooray!

Vriska: Sounds like a big mess all around. I hope that everything works out for all of you.

 

[Alex]

now tonight lori claims she's going to sleep in a fucking wal mart parking lot with her child because she doesn't feel comfortable here???

Make sure she does imo. She sounds like an absolute psychopath :/
I'm actually surprised you aren't pressing charges because hot damn, she deserves it.

Jesus, and I'd thought I'd had some bad housemates. I hope everything gets better for the pair of you

 

[Tifaeria]

Oh wow, that is awful. I can't believe that happened! I hope you and your girlfriend are ok! *huuuuuuuuug*

 

[Tennyo]

@Winter: That is awful. *hugs*

I hope things get better for you.
