Things that piss you off

[Ⓐaron]

I thought my new turntable's rips sounded a lot crappier than my old one's. It turns out there was a good reason for this - the damn driver for it was preventing me from getting more than 48 kHz out of it. I've gone back to my old setup, but it means I'm going to have to re-rip basically every rip I've made in the last year. This will be a long and tedious process. Also it appears that my computer's sound card doesn't even get more than 16-bit sound, and it seems pointless to replace it at this point since (1) it's on the damn motherboard and (2) I'm probably replacing the whole computer fairly soon. On the other hand I'm not even going to bother replacing my iPod stuff, since it's all 44.1 kHz and 16-bit anyway. So that's one bit of hassle I don't need to bother with. Also, an added bonus of the old/new setup is that I can use exactly the same process to rip cassettes. Which I've been wanting to do for awhile.

Gods damn it there are frakking Dance with Dragons spoilers on the internets and it's so frakking tempting to go look them up, even though I know I'll regret doing so. The urge to find out what happens next is so frakking strong. Apparently someone posted summaries of the first 24 chapters on Tower of the Hand. I'm not sure I'm going to make it another ten days guys

I don't know about England but that shits illegal over here. =/ They need to give you at least 10 hours between shifts over here iirc.

Yep, that's the law in Canada (or maybe it's different by province, so at least in Ontario). Also, you can only work 8+ if you are asked and you accept AND should get overtime for everything past the 8.

Its 11 hours in England http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/Employees/WorkingHoursAndTimeOff/DG_10029451

I think there are some exceptions, for the emergency services etc Its worth checking though, some employers don't expect you to know your rights.

My work's really dodgy about it, too. They'll schedule shifts 6 hours apart from each other. They usually don't schedule anything longer than 8 hours because of overtime, but if they need someone to stay longer, they'll just give out lunches, since those are unpaid breaks.

People are shooting off fireworks and it's scaring the crap out of my dog.

 

[Octo]

I hate it when that happens, our dogs try and crawl underneath us. They're full grown collies, its physically impossible! I think I'm going to have to resort to this set-up:

I don't mind fireworks once in a while, the professional displays are worth seeing, but more often than not its just a bunch of kids with a cheap set of bangers. I hope they blow their hands off

My friend's cat had a seizure and we all thought he was dying. T___T Everyone was crying and freaking out. But then he got his shot (since he's diabetic) and he was okay but it was still really scary. ;_;

 

[looneymoon]

Okay.

Really.

Just because the straw bin is empty does not mean it should be used as a garbage can.

It does not suddenly change purposes.

It's just empty.

I will fill it in a second just calm the fuck down thank you very much.

If you do need a garbage can well

there is a giant one a mere two feet away

 

[Octo]

Really disappointed in myself right now. I've just been side swiped by pangs of jealousy I have no right to feel. What. The. Fuck.

BEING ILL IS SLIGHTLY LESS FUN THAN I IMAGINED IT TO BE

It's humid as fuck outside and I have to wear my polyester work shirt for most of the day.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Thanks don't seem appropriate so I just wanted to say 'sorry everyone. Hugs.'

The Canadian government has just taken a thousand bucks off me for tax they failed to calculate properly in 2009. Oh, and because their Post Office was on strike, they charged me extra for failing to receive their bill on time.

I want to go back to being an expatriate. At least I never had to pay any goddamn tax. It's not even the paying I mind. At least in Canada you get some stuff in return for the blood they suck out of you, like health care and decent roads and good schools and the RCMP musical ride. It's the awful, awful, red tape, I hate, the incompetence of officialdom and the amount of my time they waste.

 

[Mantichorus]

The heat. Plus, my net access has been being awkward.

Also, I seem to have lost an hour or two somewhere. O_o

 

[Octo]

It is BASTARDING HOT. This laptop is overheating. If I had ballbags I'd be worried about my sperm count
