(Thanks, boss.
)I've lived on my own for four years away at school (I have roommates, but whatever) and only have to stay with family when I decide that going home in a good idea (Which recently is never because my family irritates me). And then along comes a kick-ass job and I can't find anywhere to sublet -_-; fmlBubble181 said:

My own rant. I hate Philosophy. Is there anything worse than looking up theories to understand the theories you looked up to understand the material you are currently reading? It's like needing to know from what region all your ingredients came from before understanding how to make your dinner.
Yes. Make an infinite loop of looking up theories to understand theories that you looked up.Krisken said:
Also, sounds frustrating and time-consuming.
NOTE: The ensuing rant has nothing, and I mean nothing to do with Halforum or anyone who, as far as I know, reads or posts here, or used to on HP or Image. It is about an entirely different forum that is entirely un-geek-related.

I hope you autocratic bunch of hypocrites are happy with what you turned your "community" into. You have turned into everything that's wrong with the movement you claim to support. You have utterly become the very stereotype that I once believed you were fighting against. I guess both money and inertia are too seductive compared to the powerful feeling of achievement based on hard work and focusing on the fight. Fuck you all and enjoy licking each other's assholes until every right you take for granted is systematically destroyed. :finger:

They have pissed off the Cat Lady. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
In this case it really is serious business. Like life and death serious.
At least it puts Halforum in perspective. :moon:

Man I hate the place my brother works at. One of the head people there has deemed it a rule that any time someone gets a personal call they have to get permission from her to talk them. Anyways I noticed I had a message from my brother asking me to give him a call. So I called his work and I was told they had to get permission for me to talk to him but the person who gives the permission was talking to someone so I ended up waiting on hold for 20 minutes before I had to hang up because I got another call I had to answer.

Oohboy, time for some grade-A dumpage.
Ever since my GCSEs, I have had progressively more serious issues with anxiety and depression, which were the primary cause of my spectacular number of A-level resits, among other things. This year, they grew so severe that I sought professional help outside of mere private tuition and suchlike. Unfortunately, genius that I am, I figured out that they were too much to deal with on my own only after I had effectively wrecked my first year at university and almost entirely retreated back into my room.
End result, I am repeating the year, feeling entirely drained of morale and willpower, and shouldering a quite irrationally tremendous degree of guilt for letting down my friends and family in the process. I am indeed seeking help, but the nervous aversion has reached the stage where it takes a tremendous measure of will to even book the appointments - and yes, that little detail fills me with the appropriate amount of self-loathing as well. Not only that, but several years of failure at adhering to timetables, research plans, and whatever other bright, shiny problem-solver has been suggested has left me with very little faith in a concrete solution - not least because psychological issues like this can only really be diagnosed though the subject's words, and I'm not really all that sure about the precise nature of the problem myself.
Fun.

For years I've been pushing the concept of 'ownership' to people in various departments. Today it has become very clear, thanks to prior restructuring (prior to the massive one that's coming) that an entire department was gutted and nobody there has any clue what they did. After the restructuring, assuming I'm still where I work, I'll probably be the only one who knows anything about it.

So I get invited out to a hockey game tonight (Good fun and whatnot, no problem with that). And asked my roommate to answer the phone (A friend was waiting to borrow my keys). So I come home and the roommate passes along a message that said friend who needed keys had a massive freakout because I wasn't around (Heaven forbid I, y'know, have a life) to help her take apart MY ping-pong table for some dumbass event she's throwing tomorrow.
When I talked to her earlier today, she never said anything about me needing to be present to help her take apart the ping-pong table (She said I need to be here when she picks it up tomorrow - Which she knows I can't because I'm suck in meetings all day) and then freaks out later... Oy! Just freakin tell people lol... god I hate stupid people -_-;

I will be so much happier once tax season is over. Our client runs online stores for about 50 different software companies that sell their software online (obviously). Unfortunately, instead of running the charge through so that your credit card bill shows what you purchased, or even the software company that you purchased from, you get a bill showing our client's name. Now, normally this wouldn't be so bad, because it has the full web address for our client, so customers can go to their website and see which software companies they support.
Unfortunately, the internet being what it is, people don't do that. They Google the name of our client and, instead of going to their website, read through all of the negative reviews from idiotic people who either a) never bothered finding out what they purchased through our client and are accusing them of fraud, b) had someone steal their credit card information and are blaming our client for the fraudulent orders, or c) can't bloody follow directions and so they never managed to install the software they bought. So now, instead of people calling and politely asking what they may have purchased that was processed by our client, we get angry people calling and demanding to know why our client is stealing their money... to which we look up the purchase and politely inform them that they bought legitimate software.
Now, I'm not saying that there are never fraudulent orders, there are. It's just about a 3% chance that the order is actually fraudulent. The rest of the time it really is either someone forgot what they ordered, or their IT department ordered something and forgot to tell them, or someone in their family ordered something and didn't tell them, or my personal favorite - the CEO's wife/husband/son/daughter used the corporate credit card to buy software for the home.
Luckily, once tax season is over people generally pay less attention to their credit card statements and these calls drop off dramatically. Oh, and there's about a 3:1 chance of the customer actually being satisfied when we tell them what they ordered. 25% of the time, instead of apologizing for their attitude or for the misunderstanding, etc., the customer demands to know why they weren't made aware that their charge would be going through our client instead of the name of the software company. I guess the four times during and immediately following a successful order aren't good enough.

Wait 4 hours for someone to come in and review my work so I can certify it.
When do they show?
Half way through my lunch. :eyeroll:

Replaced the hard drive, worked for 10 hours, went down again now Dell is telling me it's a mother board problem. I have to ship the whole damn thing back to the depot and wait 10 days for them to fix it then ship it back.
Rage...rising.
Shouldn't they be knocking money off my bill for this crap?

This past year has been such a god damn shit show. I moved out here to save money for school but in the process have effectively lost all of my friends back home and, as I'm completely terrible at meeting people and making friends, have yet to make any new ones. There are people at work that I talk to but no one I'd be interested hanging out with afterwards.
My Grandmother, my Grandmother's friend who I've known since before I can remember and my dog all passed away in this time, when I'm here on the other side of the country. My Grandmother's passing may partially even be my fault(I visited in the summer and she wouldn't go to a doctor until I had gotten back and she had seen me.)
The money that I had saved up until that point went to buying plane and train tickets so that I could attend her funeral. At the same time there were several problems going on with my job which culminated in me leaving. The whole time this is going on I'm having to move out of the city and into a suburb, with higher rent that I couldn't really afford but a room to myself instead of sharing a cramped living room with my brother, making it that much harder for me to meet people.
Then we hit January and my Mom loses her job making the rent for an apartment I couldn't afford that much more expensive as my brother and I either cover her rent or end up homeless. Mid February comes and despite her getting several new jobs she never sticks with them for longer than a day or so. Now we've been pushed back into an apartment with a friend of hers that moved here before we did in which I again have to share a living room as my bedroom.
At the beginning of this month my Mom tells me that she plans on driving back home to visit and to renew her drivers license. Where she got the money and audacity to do this without having had rent for the past 2 months is beyond me but despite me telling her that it's a terrible time for it right now she goes anyway. A few days ago I get a phone call from her telling me that on the way back her car got totalled(which is how she was trying to guilt us into paying her rent, because she drove us places despite it being my brother and I who are paying for all the gas for the car anyway.) and now she's stuck in Winnipeg waiting for insurance money that won't come because she was driving without a god damn license.
Oh and once she does finally get back here she'll say " Well I didn't live here for 3/4 of March so I don't owe rent."
TLDR VERSION: Shit is fucking shitty.
