Bosses and friends stink.
great. seems today is going to be a "wonderful" day. First woken up at 2.45am by a text from the DM i work alongside to say he wasnt coming in and lost an hours sleep from my vital 3.5 hours. So tired. Not looking forward to having to explain why he aint in to the boss. The stupid bus turned up early, and dropped me off at the airport at 4.10am! :( Left my lunch at home and have zero money to buy lunch. Then i had to have a firm word with one of the girls for arguing on the shop floor. 7 hours left to go and that doesnt even include the rest of the day. Just waiting to hear i lost my mortgage approval and then i have to deal with telling the estate agents and the solicitor, who will charge me for handling the contracts, which shouldnt have been sent out to him in the first place! gurrr!! I just want to go to bed and i cant. :bawling:
Oh and i forgot to mention my uncle died yesterday. This has been a crap 9 hours since i got that news.
I wish I could understand why...............
I am sorry for your loss, Niamh.Quote:

My condolences Niamh.
thanks everyone. Was sudden.
:mad:My husband is a network admin and computers are his life. So, you would think that I would be happy with my computer.
But that's not how it is.
He often disconnects the internet when I need to use it. Or, he changes my settings. Or he logs onto my computer from a remote location.
I have been using a refurbished lap top. I mentioned something to him about how I wanted to buy myself a new computer. I just mentioned it in passing - it wasn't a request. It was just a statement. Two days later, I have a new desktop. I don't know if it's new, or just new to me, and I don't care about that. I just want my computer to work and it doesn't and I wish that he had just let it go and let me get my own computer.
Yesterday, it had sound and today it doesn't.
I need to use Word, but when I open Word, it will not allow me to type. As it turns out I need to activate the damn thing, so as luck would have it, he is not here so I had to call him and he explained where I needed to go to get the key and then it still didn't work. See, if I had my own computer from scratch I would not have to go get the key off his network crap and I would just have my own independent computer separate from his with my own Office software and my own software key.
I just want a computer that works and you would think that I would have one, seeing as how my husband is really into computers. But every time he redoes something on my computer, nothing works! He never takes my usage habits into consideration. He never has. EVERYTIME he puts together a new computer he never puts it together for the end user. I swear, I am going to the store and I am going to buy my own damned computer and I am going ot put it together and he is not touching it. I will pay for my own internet access separate from his stupid complicated BS network that he is always taking offline for whatever reason (I think just to piss me off).
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Stupid big cow that I'm working with said that I was lazy, dumb, young and had bad taste in movies. Hahaha, so I made her work in the adult room, which is 30 degrees celcius, for five hours.
I had a three day weekend coming up, but our stupid boss changed the schedule and now I have to work 51 hours next week with no days off at all. Goddammit. I wish it was August and I could just go to school, it's much less stressful.
Aww I'm sorry, what an insensitive prick, there's nothing I hate more than people who accuse me of being lazy when I work my *** off. At least you got to taste a sweet dish of revenge :DQuote:

Aww, it's not THAT hot. Just uncomfortable and sticky and disgusting (what with all the porn). Trust me, if you knew this woman, you'd thank me.Quote:

Haha I wish ours just did that. The adult room is pretty gross, all the movies in there are sticky (everyone has a different opinion as to why they're so sticky exactly).
Ahahaaha! I think I can find a reason why. :skep:Quote:

I'd even have spent time down there to give someone a break. There are not just health and safety risks of leaving someone in a breathless, hot room for too long, there are also legal issues. :)
If it had been the opposite way around and it had been you who had insulted her and she had stuck you in there and the manager did nothing about it, would you have though it was fair? Even if you had cast the first stone? Would you have thought that five hours of stuffiness, heat and "stickiness" was just enough for a few words? Think about it. :)
(Sorry... I'm in work so i have my manager brain switched on. I can get like this with staff sometimes. I like to make them think about their actions.)
Hmm, I guess that's what makes you a manager type whereas I work much better alone. I would have totally tossed the dissenters in the stuffy shop and kept my friends niiice and comfortable. :devil:
"Whats that? You're hot? Aww, well it's too bad that the water fountain's broken, eh?"
(By the way, I'm mostly kidding... mostly)

Make it plain that you being simple and unknowledgeable in these matters have to rely on his great wisdom and incredible skills to resolve the matter.
If he's anything like me that'll do the trick!
My teacher won't take my advice and STOP WEARING THAT TIE!!
BEWARE! The following is a rant from a teacher about his students. Kids hold your ears lest you be mocked!
I have this one writing class where students write to major reports (it's a business writing course). For the first report, I pick the topic -- this allows me and them to focus more on the rhetorical, organizational, and cognitive skills needed to complete the task and less on the endless "what topic should I pick" . . . . monologue.
When this project is assigned I hear a steady chorus of "I HATE THIS ASSIGNMENT! HATE! HATE! HATE! IF ONLY WE CAN CHOOSE WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT! I HATE IT WHEN THE TEACHER GIVES ME THE TOPIC! HATE! HATE! HATE!
The next major project asks them to apply these same skills in a slightly different way to a topic of their own choosing. I leave the topic selection entirely up to them. And the chorus?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?? I HATE THESE VAGUE ASSIGNMENTS! HATE! HATE! HATE! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT?? HATE! THE TOPIC MAKES NO SENSE! HATE! YOU NEED TO TELL US WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT SO WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING! I HATE THIS TOPIC AND THIS ASSIGNMENT! HATE! HATE! HATE!
Of course, the people spewing the chorus of hate from assignment assignment one are the same people who spew the chorus of hate for assignment one.
To which I want to say (but tactfully never would): "Just shut up your hate-fulled mouth. Make a decision and go with it. Would YE complain of heaven too? Methinks you would, ya ingrate!"
END RANT
Oh I hear your pain brother. For me the word "boring" from students makes me want to inflict pain:
"This lesson is boring."
"We are only 5 minutes into it."
"I'm bored."
"We have not even passed the starter exercise yet."
“So, I am still bored.”
“Just get on with the task.”
"Can I go to the toilet?"
"No."
"I'm bored."
Calmly, "look, we are only 5 minutes into the lesson. We are just doing this little warm-up exercise then we are moving on."
"I can't be bothered."
"Just get on with it."
Tut, sigh, funny face. “It’s boring.”
etc, etc...
My language bar just stopped working when I needed the Cyrillic Alphabet :willy_nilly:
PRKL :rage:
I HATE WILD ONIONS!!!
My horse (who has since passed, Rest In Peace) use to love to go to the back pasture and eat the wild onions. He would then proceed to run up to the fence (breathing heavily) when I came home from school. He would nearly KILL me with his breath. Now I have hoards of wild onions growing in my back yard. Whenever I mow....UGH...but at least I have memories of my wonderful horse (may he Rest In Peace).
I once pegged a kid in the back of the head with an eraser for raising his hand in class and then asking the teacher (and this is like the hundredth time that he's done this):
"When are we actually going to need to know this stuff in real life?"
I know I've complained of this before, but I can't help it. Now I have almost no problem with the amount of violence in television and film, but I find the ideology and violence presented in 24 to be reprehensible.
The fact that television viewers are viewing the sociopathic Jack Bauer as so heroic is quite disturbing. Now I have no problem with anti-heroes or even corrupt heroes, but the fact that 24 is so political and allegorical to current events, the fact that it has for many years been offering audiences and numbing them of their humanity with scenes of torture as some fantastical ticking-time bomb scenario is applied. The fact that the show seems to justify almost everything Jack does makes it the most clearly fascist show ever to appear on television.
Now this does not shrink away the show's artistic merits, as it is very well made and despite some superficiality and just plain fantasy, the show achieves a level of realism that was needed in television. But that is not to say that the show is realistic as it consistently indulges itself in neo-conservative fantasies and conspirasies that are so outlandish that not even the fictional television show feels as if it can sustain them.
Now I am almost never offended by violence in media. I am a great fan of film directors such as Kubrick, Scorsese and Tarantino who all made some of the most violent films of their times. But I am offended when a show appears to justify its scenes of reprehensible torture brought about by its hero in the name of supporting a completely ridiculous scenario brought up by the last administration.
I hate my job and everyone i work with. I work with a group of men who are a bunch of moronic chauvinists. Like this one guy i work with, TOTAL IDIOT, yet he likes to pounce on my bad hand writing as though that is an indication of stupidity, and to somehow pass his own bad handwriting off as a sign of intelligence. I'm not just being unfair and mean here - this guy is an uneducated, brutish chauvinist who seems incapable to think of anything but his penis and what he does with it.
Also, the men i work with have all decided i'm gay, because i refuse to take part when they perv on girls. Don't get me wrong, they're not just admiring their beauty, they are staring at their breasts and butts and fantasising about having sex with them - and i'm automatically gay because i don't want to do that??? because i have actual respect for women and don't like the idea of actively objectifying them??? AARRRGGH!!!!
I also spilled milk on my work pants while making breakfast this morning
I'm in a grumpy and foul mood.
Andgy forgets he has rehearsals.
Apparently he blames it on me that I didn't tell him what time he had to go.
1. I told him he had rehearsals and to check his timetable.
2. It is HIS problem if he can't even do that.
3. He's in the play and I'm not, yet I know more about it than he does and it is my fault that he can't take responsibility for himself.
4. The music teacher didn't even yell at him. He was just 'don't worry these things happen.' Whilst only the day before he said that he said that the downpoint of his entire teaching career was the last choir rehearsal I was at.
My solution:
1. Be an absolute pest to my brother and not let him forget for an extended period of time.
2. Seek and achieve the sympathy of someone in the play.
3. Tell the music teacher that I demand that if my brother shows any more insubordinance to scream at him because I'm a hundred percent sure that he hasn't learnt his lesson.
Meanwhie I'll just be grumpy.
:argue:There, there, my chld.
It happens. Time for mum to intervene...:nono:

You know what gets me mad? Here's what gets me mad: When some innocent little book-reading kid is sitting comfortably in his couch-chair at Barnes and Noble, gets up and leaves his hat to mark his spot (i.e., this is my seat mother****ers), and then some lip-pierced ******* trying to hit on the blonde across from me takes my seat and doesn't even apologize or do anything when I come by to pick up my hat and tell this mother****er that this was my seat. Yes I'm pissed off about this.

Hello.Ihis is my first post and I kind of don't really know whether this is the right place to post my question so I beg to be forgiven :blush5: :rolleyes:
So to get to the point- English is not my first language, I study it at school and we had to translate a short story from O'Henry called "The Social Triangle" into our language.It doesn't have a proffesional translation.My question is what does "Eleventh" refer to in this particular case:"C'rect," said the bartender, smoothing the twelve one-dollar notes.
The crowd surged around Billy McMahan again. Some one was telling
how Brannigan fixed 'em over in the Eleventh. Ikey leaned against
the bar a while, and then went out."
I'd be tremendously grateful if you could give me an answer :)
After reading some of the previous threads I think this is a good place to say this...What makes me mad and confuses me is that I don't understand how people can be so hateful! Some one I should be able to trust is the one that hurts me more than anything. What should I do? I don't want to walk away but at the same time I know its not good for me to let them treat me like this!
