Things that piss you off

[Dashell]

We have all this technology. We can fly to the moon, we can get directions from a computer in our car from one place to another, we can get the internet on tiny little phones.... and yet...

MEDICINE STILL TASTES LIKE SHIT!

 

[Master Bates]

I'm not pissed with how TLS is all over Ryu right now, but I'm not satisfied either. I understand this is 'serious business' so I'll just leave that matter over where it should be, although I'd very much prefer if the reason for TLS' database errors is because of this or this.

I'm serious.

[Tifabelle]

So I am over here still coughing, and even though I had started to feel better, these past two days I have felt like poo. And I'm sitting here all sad like, why have you let me down immune system.

my friend inviting my mom over for lunch when the whole point of having lunch with my friend was to get away from my mom. fucking shit.

Sorry, do go watch some boobies to balance it out

But anyway, this thread just reads "love" all over it for me. I truly truly heart geeks. They truly are the best boyfriends you can have. Too bad too many girls don't see that. That's not some suck up rant, I really mean it, and I try telling my single girlfriends. Oh well.

I was going to post this four days ago, but then TLS b0rked and you know, . I was going to link you (and everyone else) to this blogpoast. Really, this Rands fellow posts epic truths and really seems to know either geek culture and/or himself really well. Read moar. I should buy his books too, wicba. And read the rest of his articles.

although I'd very much prefer if the reason for TLS' database errors is because of this or this.

I'm serious.

Actually, pretty sure the downtime was mainly caused by that, .

@thread, I have a cold / mild flu and it's kinda funny, .

He's got a few ideas down, though he likens nerdity to a sort of fixed set- rather than a series of traits- though the constant quest for stimulation via a project seems spot on for most nerds I know.
I have several and sort of flit between them.
What're yours?

Only work-related stuff, I don't actually have projects outside of work. Well, maybe TLS, but I just post there until a few days ago. I'm actually kinda lazy when it comes to that. In fact, I'm not nearly as much of a nerd as he describes them as.

The present I wanted to buy the boyfriend is now unavailable.

And it's not my fault I didn't buy it on designated Christmas shopping day, as I was ill that very same day. Now all the plans are ruined.

 

[Xelazander]

What were you trying to buy the lucky chap?

 

[Sprites]

I have actually just had the worst day in the world and I think I've been the unluckiest too.

Beginning with yesterday I had a customer positively going mental at me because I was trying to explain that without proof of purchase I couldn't let her pick up her order because it's our company policy, she also had no I.D or anything else to prove the order was hers then she tried to blame another member of staff to confuse me and was so horrible and I was so angry, my face was bright red for the rest of my shift, seriously.

Today I had a customer call me an idiot to my face because I didn't answer her question properly and then when I tried to actually apologise and explain I'd misunderstood but was about to finish explaining it properly when she yelled that I talked too much and didn't listen. I got the feeling she didn't like me beforehand as soon as I explained she could only have 4 pairs of shoes on the floor at the time for health and safety reasons and security reasons, she wanted 6 pairs (who the fuck needs to try on 6 pairs of fucking ankle boots!!!!) The store was also packed and every customer in the vicinity heard, I was so humiliated, upset and angry I had to leave the floor for nearly 30 minutes because I couldn't stop crying.

I'm angry at myself too, because I promised myself after something like that happened in another place I used to work I would never let a customer get to me so badly that I'd get that upset.

To make things worse on the way downstairs I slipped and twisted my right ankle slightly that was alright it hurt a little but I was fine, but as if that wasn't bad enough though on the way home I fell...again on the same ankle and now it's incredibly painful and I'm so scared I've hurt it badly because I've broken it 3 times before and torn ligaments in it so it's naturally now just quite weak.

My work christmas party is tomorrow and I'm hoping it's just mildly sprained, I want to go out and have fun but it was the final straw when I got home I just cried and my housemate had to make me a very strong cup of tea and grab an icepack, she's been so lovely to me.

It's not been the best of days and it's not fair because I've been in such good form, our store is doing amazing trade wise, we got a great report from our regional manager and I got great feedback about my progress as a manager so far just two days ago and since then it's gone downhill.....why does someone out there hate me and insist on spoiling my happiness

 

[Octo]

Sprites I am so sorry you had a shit day. If I had been there I would have yelled at those cunts for being so fucking rude and unreasonable. Let them feel humiliated for a change. Shop workers get such a bad rep but I have never experienced rudeness like that from them, worst it every is is when theyre slow because theyre talking or something. Some people think it's their right to treat shop staff like shit.

with a massive calf cramp

OMG YOU ARE ME.
I get this all the fucking time.

My new store location is so fucking far away from me. I'm going to have to quit. Like this week. Fuck this shit. My manager thinks it's unreasonable that I don't want to commute 3 hrs to work a 4-5 hr shift. :\

 

[AvecAloes]

Sprites, I'm so sorry to hear about your crappy couple of days. People seem to really be going batshit all over the place right now, and I know how hard it is to not let their horrible treatment of you get to you. I hope your ankle is alright and that your days get significantly better!

 

[Octo]

This is small potatoes compared to you guys but my left nostril is all scabby and sore on the inside like someone has been going at it with a bottle brush. I don't know how this has happened but it hurts, I'm guessing its a result of all this cold weather and the cold I had last week.

 

[Madame Mayor]

I don't like commuting more than 20mins for a 4-5hr shift. Sorry to hear that OWD. <3

 

[Sprites]

Ouchies Octo, that sound's like you've burst a blood vessel inside.

Thanks for the kind comments people

The ankle thing, well one of the things I'm hoping for that it'll be ok is and it sounds so vain, but I have brand spanking new 6 inch gorgeous black suede platfom heels to go out in, I can't wear them for danger of elevating my ankle into a worse position if it's still sore and they compliment my dress so well, they're so cute got little bows on them and everything.

One more thing, when I get stressed I get spots and since all this happened, I've found two whoppers, that weren't there this morning, one is on my chin and the other on my cheek, close to my nose...that'll be absolutely gorgeous for going out tomorrow.

The brightside...I painted my nails tonight to distract myself from my ankle, they're deep metallic purple and have crack effect silver over them, so they look pretty awesome, if nothing else my nails will look pretty.

Finding the perfect guy.

Then realizing he's in the motherfuckin' military and I can't see him or talk to him as often as I'd like.

FML.

I give up.
