Things that piss you off

- I almost attained the longest streak in the national comp for AFL tipping this year. Keyword being almost. Some team I went for lost today, meaning my streak died. Doubt I'll get such a streak again. Could've won thousands of dollars too =(. ARGH!

What is this ?.... It scares me.

^It unfortunately wasn't Kate Middleton's wedding dress.

I woke up at 5:30 am and can't get back to sleep. What is this madness? I don't even have work until 4 pm today.

That's what you get from an irregular lifestyle and TVtropes,

Rythm and discipline is the key hear.

On topic, though not entirely unrelated: My mother is trying to pay for a load of drinks/buffet thing for our wedding when all we wanted to do was: Wedding >Pub >Escape. This makes me sound like an ungrateful shitbag right? But thats not the only problem.

Oh, it's more normal than you think. After all, moms want fo their daughters the wedding of their dreams (the mom's dreams, not the daughter's )

It's one of those Anne Geddes pictures - you know, with the babies?

I know, I wouldnt mind if she could afford it. That, and Im kinda dissapointed that shes subscrbed to all this weddibg shit in the first place. I thought she was progressive.

On topic: my own mind. Right now, a lobotomy looks to be an attractive proposition.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's a giant cunt on a wedding dress.

I'm so tired. Today is going to be awful.

 

[Mantichorus]

So, I finally recalled my youtube password yesterday, but the video wouldn't load. ...I've been trying to upload this vid on and off since... I dunno, 2007, 2008? >__>

Oh, and then the bus broke down on the way home from town, and it took them an hour to get a replacement out. (And before anyone suggests it... it would've taken me a little over an hour to walk it.)

If you look hard enough, you'll find a baby in there.

Fucking Canada Post. I NEED MY MAIL. D:<

 

[looneymoon]

I have mail to send! GUH.

 

[Madame Mayor]

tbh I haven't noticed a lot of issues with my mail service. Still got my Amazon order in 2 days. But I guess it's just luck, since they are rotating their striking.

Apparently Skarlet, the DLC Mortal Kombat character, does not have her own spot in the Nekropolis so I can't view her "ladder mode" ending anytime I wish.

I am disappoint. At least she has an ending of her own, I can be happy for that.

Is this it? I haven't played the game so I wouldn't know

Was that recently? Because they've been locked out for a while now, making it impossible for any mail to come in or go through. It was the repercussion for all the striking. While they were striking, they still worked 3 times a week. But then the lockout happened and everyone got fucked over.

Until the bill was passed to make it an essential service. Hopefully, stuff resumes by tomorrow since the bill is as good as in at this point.

BUT THIS SCREWED ME OVER SO BADLY. RAGE. D<

Actually ya, it came only a couple days ago. Maybe it came from UPS or something, it was there when I got home, though it didn't have any special mail things on it.

 

[Cookie Monster]

Spending 5+ minutes to unwrap a goddamn DVD.

There's fucking security tape on three sides. WHY? It's not even the goddamn special edition.

Also, Sundays.

 

[Madame Mayor]

Just got some bad news that has me feeling kind of shaky. Not something I can really talk about, just feels bad.

• Discovering that Watership Down is in the family films section at work. I have no idea what genius at corporate thought putting it there was a good idea, but obviously whoever it was never watched the film or read the novel. Here's a hint: Just because it's an animated film with bunnies doesn't mean it's intended for children. I don't even want to know how many children have been given nightmares because their parents assumed it would be a cute film to show them. Putting this film in the children's section is every bit as stupid as putting Pan's Labyrinth there would be, and for exactly the same reasons. As TV Tropes says:
  Spoiler

  Parents of bunny-obsessed children, please do not subject your four-year-olds to such Intentional Nightmare Fuel as Bigwig's brush with death and his battle with General Woundwort, General Woundwort himself, the awfully long scene (scored to Bright Eyes) where Hazel is almost certainly dead and Fiver is lost without him, Blackavar's story, or Holly recounting how he barely escaped the destruction of Sandleford Warren. On the off chance you need further convincing, please note that the latter sequence, faithful to the novel, is a semi-hallucinatory depiction of cute bunnies clawing out the throats of other cute bunnies as they all slowly suffocate. Not For Little Kids.

• I haven't slept since 5:30 am and was hoping we'd be able to leave the store at a reasonable time. So naturally, the fucking alarm system wouldn't work. I think we spent about ten minutes just standing around waiting for the completely useless jackoffs on their tech support line to do something before the store manager just sent most of us home.
• I want to sleep, but I know that if I don't eat something I will wake up in the middle of the night regretting it. The longer I have to wait for the oven to heat up though, the grumpier I'm going to get. Ugh.

There were lots of really good things about today, but I'm so freaking tired that they don't even cheer me up right now. Ugh.

Wow, wtf? Can you imagine a parent not knowing what it is, and then bringing it home and showing their kids? Not only might it slightly disturb them, but they'd not understand the meaning of it at all. . . Crazy. I hope you moved the movie. xD Still one of my favorite books and movies ever. ;w;
I recently watched Plague Dogs and that disturbed me to a large degree. OAO I cannot imagine what a child might think after seeing that movie.

I can't move it. Well, if I did move it, no one would be able to find it. They have it categorised as a family film. There is an automated system for requesting to have works recategorised, but unfortunately they only have it in place for books. I have raised the issue with the store manager and he agrees with me that it's a grossly inappropriate place for the film to be categorised, but he'll have to wrangle with the morons at corporate who put the film there in the first place, I guess. If they don't do anything about it maybe he can just tell people working in music to tell anyone who presents the film for purchase that it's not for kids. xD

I should add that I've come across a lot of really poorly categorised stuff lately. Most of it's books, and most of the stuff I raised issues with got moved (although a couple of books that are clearly about atheism didn't get moved into the atheism section), but it makes me wonder who they're hiring to categorise some of this shit and whether I could do a better job than they are (I probably could).
