Rant VII: Now With 25% Less Drama

I've decided that the application process and student loan process are put in place to determine an applicant's determination to complete college.
 
I wouldn't even mind if the response was "we looked at your application, we don't feel it's a good fit, if you're serious maybe work on these things for next time" or something like that. But when the response is "we're sorry, you don't meet the requirements of a totally different application process that might have applied to you years ago," I get frustrated.
 
Hey, I absolutely agree, Vrii. I just remember the crap my wife had to go through every year of college dealing with the administration and the financial department.

I sympathize. I only joke because I've seen it before.

Soliloquy

When my boss got fired, I applied for her position. My father told me, "Do it. The worst that could happen is they promote you."

The next month I broke the news to my dad that the worst happened.
 
My idiot roommate decided to roast garlic yesterday. This in itself wouldn't be rant-worthy but it turns out that I'm highly allergic to something in or on the garlic. So I end up in the emergency room last night unable to breath and ready to rip my skin off.
Lots of allergy treatment later, I'm back at home with an inhaler, hives, and swollen eyes.
Next time I tell you I'm allergic to something, BLOODY WELL LISTEN TO ME!!!
 
I met the girl of my dreams last night. Literally. Had a dream where I met an amazing girl.

I hate dreams like that because I just wake up even more lonely than before. :(

What's worse: there were moments when we were laying next to each other. I would briefly wake up and find myself hugging part of my blanket.

I think I'm safe, but this is the sixth I've seen leave... and people ask why I don't aim for the position.
 
I FUCKING HATE THIS COUNTRY!

Because I'm living in the U.S., I don't have a lot of Canadian funds to pay off my credit card. So I can't use it while down here. Which also means I can't buy things on PSN. So I figured, I'd go to Wal-Mart and buy a $50 PSN card. But of course, because I'm a fucking Canadian with a fucking Canadian-bought PS3, the CARD WON'T FUCKING WORK. Now, I have to go BACK to Wal-Mart and ask for a refund, which I'm not expecting because the card is already scratched off. WHICH MEANS I'M OUT 50 FUCKING DOLLARS.

I FUCKING HATE LIVING IN THE U.S.!
 
Just got off the phone with Wal-Mart. They also told me they can't do a refund.

So now I'm officially out $50 and have a useless American PSN card and can't buy anything for myself.

That's some bullshit from Sony since they should be able to redeem the card for you over the phone then apply it to your account.
 
A friend of mine had the same problem with Xbox points. There was some huge sale in the states on points cards so he had someone he knew buy like 200 dollars worth of them for him and then found out too late that they ain't for Canadians. Which is fucking bogus considering the point costs are the same here and there except Canadians get fucked hard on the cost of cards.
 
They can't because they say there's a different in the Canadian and American dollars or some bullshit. Which is fucking ridiculous because the prices are the exact same.

You need to set up a US PSN account to use US cards. That's all. It doesn't matter where your PS3 is from, only where your account is tied to. Then you can switch between the accounts when you need to do something with the other.

Incidentally, this is how you can get Japanese stuff off the PSN that will never see US release.

Because I have the Plus account, that's useless for me.
 
Holy shit dude, calm yourself, it was just a joke.
I don't care. I'm too fucking pissed off and he had no fucking right to joke about this shit. I'm so sick of being stuck in this country, in the middle of buttfuck nowhere, with no friends, nowhere to go and continuing to have all this red tape bullshit because I'm on the other side of the border.

That's all Juski and Charlie do, anyway. They never add anything of significant value to anything on here. They just troll because they're fucking assholes who don't give a shit about anyone.
 
Seriously, reread everything and take stock of the situation. He made a rather innocuous joke about why being American is great after you posted about how much you hate his country because you blew 50 bucks. You're blowing it way out of proportion.
