My new job actively punishes with less hours/less money when you do a good job. I'm not comfortable with this.

Yuck. Sorry, man.
How can anybody wonder about the state of the nation when incompetence is encouraged?

Least-surprising fact of the day: it's in the health care industry
My rant:
I'm supposed to go to work in an hour to take a mentally challenged kid bowling. I'm actually excited about this case, because I've met the kid, and he seems pretty cool.
Problem is: the government agency that has contracted out the homecare company that I work for ... well, the social worker in charge of his case is not helpful. My boss tells me that Child Youth and Family Services will take care of the arrangements, but every time I talk to CYFS, the social worker keeps trying to put it on me.
I wouldn't mind doing it, if I knew what to do. And nobody is being very helpful, beyond 'I'll call person X and get back to you.' And then never gets back to me.
I've already waited long enough that I can't walk or take the city bus if I expect to be on time. I'm going to have to call a cab that I can't afford.
EDIT: Stuff's been worked out, a half hour before I'm supposed to leave for my shift.
Now my rant is: I'm about to get schooled in bowling by a 9 year old.

I like how working my ass off these past few months still has me drowning in debt and barely paying rent, as opposed to making enough money to be comfortable.
It'd be nice for something to work out in my favor that doesn't involve getting drunk and forgetting about how stressed I am all the time.

It really sucks to be allergic to the shampoo & conditioner that is cheap and works best. Having red, itchy skin and watering eyes kind of takes away from the pretty hair.
I prefer some different toppings. Let us talk about why we like the toppings we prefer and then come to blows when we cannot reach a mutual understanding. :coffee:
Yarr, nothing be holdin' me fancy as of late! Most of me friends be gone now, and me games no longer be keepin' me interest. And I be a poor pirate indeed, unable to afford any new games or a night about town.
'Tis a sad state, says I! Maybe I just be needin' a new bonnie lass to help me set afire the seas of passion!

put em up
they are extremely up
Today's carless sunday in Brussels (well, most cities in Belgium). That means that within city limits, there's no cars allowed. Fine so far. All in favour. Some people get exceptions because of their work, and whatever. I'm one of them - I have to be at work at 05h30, so I can't possibly take public transportation. The speed is limited to 20 mph, though.
All of that is fine. What annoys me sooooo much is the sheer amount of people just suddenly ignoring all basic traffic laws (which remain in full effect), and rules of courtesy.
Yes, red lights still mean STOP. No, the fact that everybody's on bike or on foot doesn't mean you can jsut cross whenever, wherever. There's no law anywhere saying "if there's no-one coming the other side, you can cross a red". There isn't. So stop already. I've seen at least 20 or 30 ppeople go through a red on my 20 minute drive. ARGH. BIKES.
Secondly, I drive 20 mph. It really isn't that fast. It's still faster than you're going to walk or rloller skate, though. So let me PASS. I promise I won't run over your feet. If you insist on walking in the middle of the road, though, I'll get pissy and drive about 1 inch from your heels and honk. Go ahead and cry at me, I'm still in my right - there's a sidewalk; you're technically legally obligated to walk on that.
Really, how hard is it? Don't let your 7 year old alone on a three-lane road - there are still quite a few cars out there, and she's likely not to be attentive enough on her bike. Having to make an emergency stop at 20 mph isn't that big of a problem, but it's not my fault if she's swerving across three lanes that she get sscared by the big bad car coming up behind her. Supervise young children. Follow the rules. Be somewhat social. That's all.

"I don't check my email. I just don't check it everyday. Sorry."
From a student. A fucking. College. Student. REALLY??? SERIOUSLY?!? In this day and age, how can you not check your email when you're a damn student? What are you going to do when you're a teacher and your colleagues and principal are trying to communicate with you? Do you really think that excuse is going to fly?
This is why I hate group projects. No one is ever available, so when we try to join up electronically there's always some idiot who falls through the cracks. Let me do the hour-and-a-half presentation by myself, PLEASE. I'm the only one I can count on.

It's asinine to put us in groups anyway. We'll be in our own classrooms as teachers, coming together only to talk about teaching strategies and things like that. The only reason they did is because we have too many students and not enough education teachers. There should be 15 or so of us in a class. We're huge--40 or so people per class in this Block's section.
They're all perfectly nice girls... just not so great on the correspondence. We present on Wednesday, and no one's responded to the emails I sent out yesterday or today. There's just no fucking excuse. This is the one thing I hate about my major--I'm surrounded by fucking girls... girly girls with baby fever and an obsession with pedicures and boutiques. I fit in nowhere.
