Wouldn't they have known this when they hired you? Sounds like a bullshit excuse to me.Denbrought said:

They gave me the job almost two weeks ago, but it seems that the damn woman didn't get around passing my data to human resources to formalize the contract (which I'd be signing... NOW) till today. Mere hours later, they call.Edrondol said:
It may be a shitty excuse (definitively going to look up the laws on this if I find them) but I'm screwed either way.

Oh, I am, deep deep down. You may not see it, but...Bubbles is an owl.
Onwards: screw my work. GRAGH. Since there isn't any other alternative, most likely, I'll be doping 6 twelve hour shifts alone this week. We're supposed to be with two, adn we're supposed to only work 3 shifts a week. That means I'm literally doing 4x what I'm supposed to do. That coming off a week where I'ved one 5 night shifts...and, since I'm alone in the day time right now, and can't quite cope, I have to stay later to finish up all the stuff I've started - today was a 13 and 1/2 hour day, and I don't forsee the next days being shorter.
All this during the days that I was supposed to be on easy street and going out with friends. :explode:
Oh, and of course the manager still laughs and jokes about how calm it is in the day...Those to hours a day he's around :explode:

My boy and I got about 3 hours of sleep apiece last night (meaning Sunday -> Monday), and then he worked 12 hours today. We had just gotten home from having dinner with my parents, were headed to bed, when he got an emergency call from work and had to leave. He won't be home until about 5. (it's 2:30 my time) I don't know whether to stay up, or sleep, and if I do stay up, I've exhausted my entertainment options and everyone I was talking to went to bed already. [yaaaaaaawn] I don't know what to do

I just signed back to this forum I had left about a year ago, because neither talking to friends online and rl, or browsing the internet aimlessly can quite tickle my brain as this forum did. So ya, hi everyone.
But this belongs in "Epic Win." :slywink: Glad to see you back!Aisaku said:
I've taken a few classes on c# so I'm an intermediate person... If you seriously know less than me (that'd be a first >_>) we can talk over pm or something but you could create a parsing class using Streamreader and Streamwriter as basis, dunno if that'd work (without looking at concrete facts).stienman said:

Goddammit I hate this heat wave. Can't sleep, can't work, sweaty and head-achey all the time...
Gimme a frickin' thunderstorm, now!

I came down with a case of Bronchitis about 2 weeks ago... and I've been off my anti-biotics for a week already. WHY AREN'T I GETTING BETTER!? I'm still coughing up stuff everyday (actually vomited up flem the other day) and it's getting to the point where coughing is giving me head pains. I think I need to go back to the doctor again...
welcome back.Aisaku said:

Receive pay and by noon most of it is already spent.
At least I'll be seeing my old mates and family again for a week this Summer. Now to find some new ear-buds as my last pair are in bits nonfunctional ever again. Rumour has it there are some fair ones at Target for $10. Massively long flights are where the iPod really shines.

Dammit! I had plans. Plans that required both a tight schedule and a stop at the ATM on the way.
The ATM was attached to a mini-branch of the bank. A mini-branch that had been robbed not long before I arrived to find a Sheriff's SUV and a couple other LEA cars blocking the way in, along with a healthy length of crime scene tape. So much for plans... and Japanese for lunch.

So, all right, this is the thing. I'm going to study something I like to study, vacation is expecting me to free me from my reeeeeeeeeeeeally stressful life as a "freelance writer" and, well, I have a nice party to expect at the end of this week, as I had last week. I even finished the rough copy of the 20 pages of script I started writing. In english! And I had never written any scripts before!
So, why am I feeling so miserable?
·Because I'm fat. None of my summer clothes from last year seem to fit, and I'm back at the 100-101 kilos ratio instead of my usual 97. Just 3 Kg make a HUGE difference. But I had a week, A SIMPLE WEEK of eating without controlling my intake (before an important exam) and BAM. Since then, i've been unable to go back to this previous, still overweight, 97 kg.
My fans will remember that I started going to the gym:
·My "bad" leg hurts. I have a leg that has been operated twice to extract a tumor. Cronic pain, yea, but I get used to it. And the, I start going to the gym, losing weight, feeling fitter. A car door closes on my bad leg, on the exact place. I've been limping for the last 3 months, and doctors make me have 3 doses a day of watever you call "antiinflamatorios" in english and, of course, no gym. I hated goin to the gym, but i hate more not being able to decide if I go or I don't. I'm not the only one thta has healt problems at home though:
·My father has back trouble. And I have him all day at home, wich is a pain in the ass, and I keep accompaining him to hospital trips, to see doctors and listen to them, because he is unable to even grasp a word of what they are saying. Oh, did I mention I'm phobic to hospitals because of my childhood leg-jobs? But, well, at least i have the internet at home (when my father is not occupying my PC for HOURS to write 2 or 3 e-mails) and my friends to relax:
·My "traditional" childhood friends have been busy, and I semi-argued with one (even if we kind of settled things up after that). And what about my "new" friends, the friends I made at the University? I'm losing them, because I suck at social relations. When they see me day after day, they think "hey, this guy is great!". Well, I don't know how to keep contact. I don't ever call anyone, not just those friends. They don't feel the internet is a "good" way of communicaton, it's just a complement for other, "main", kinds. I have never gone out to have a coffee with somebody. I don't improvise plans. I can't drive, and feel disoriented in my own hometown. I was even awarded with the "Mr. Nice" and "Great friend" awards when we graduated. I was VOTED that.
And the worst part is, I don't know why, but I keep AVOIDING them when I have the chance to meet them. And sometimes, I even avoid them on the internet:
·Specially my female friends. Because, when I'm there and you see me every day, my creepy pervert comments are buried in between of lots of other talk and don't stand up, It's just my sense of humor. But on the internet, every word has much more weight. It's written down, it doesn't fade.
Oh, and of course, I'm still in love with the girl I liked and rejected me. I see her every day more ugly and hateful, but it still hurts to see her on Facebook or Msn.
Rant rant rant, put in there the typical stuff about not having a girlfriend, being socially inept, not knowing what to do with my life etc. etc.

Regarding the weight stuff, you could try exercises that don't involve legwork, there's a great deal of those.
The friends thing I understand exactly. I've been doing the same thing ever since I got back to spain, I've seldom met with them a few times over the last month 'n a half and I really don't know why, as I had turned out pretty social these last two years. Can't really think of a way to help there.
Hey, if you're bored enough and want to hang out around Barcelona, I probably have nothing better to do

Yeah, i could go and do not legwork stuff... I had been pushing the moment to go back to the gym because my leg feeling well was "inminent" every time I went to see the doctor.Denbrought said:Regarding the weight stuff, you could try exercises that don't involve legwork, there's a great deal of those.

FOR MONTHS, MAN. :angry:
And now... I feel I'd like to go, but I think "you'll do it for two weeks (I have a sciptwriting course starting next week for two weeks, so it leaves me two other weeks to go to the gym) and then, AUGUST! Paying your preppy gym all these months has been stupid enough. Go in there and get your doctor to sign you a piece of paper that says you can't work out so that you don't have to pay inscroption fees when you come back, and stop paying NOW!". This simply leads to me just not going but not wnating to "unsubscribe" either.
I'm not happy, but at least relieved, to see that I'm not the only one that has troubles with some friends... Of course, my problems have roots in my deep "Sheldon Cooper-i-tude", but I had become quite a party-goer! And now...
And about hanging out, well, I know where to find you*, so we might do something some day. Vacations are made just for this! That is, if you don't mind hanging out with an old man like me Xp.
*THE MIGHTY INTERNET!
