Are you pissed off? I'm pissed off. Vent Thread.

@Nayl- I'm so sorry, that's terrible. That being said- nothing wrong with looking around @ new places. I know you said you have a good deal going, but put the word out that you might be looking- who knows, you might find a better (and safer!) place!

[Naylzie]

Thanks for the direction on the renters-rights laws, Rynne; this is gonna sound really silly, but I honestly didn't know such a thing existed    I was kind of thinking there HAD to be some kind of recourse available if he continues to be hung up on the woodwork thing, I hope it doesn't come to that, but just knowing what I can do if it does will be nice. 

Dokken, she never got her bag back?     That is really shitty, too.  Different reason, like you said, but you do still place a certain amount of trust in the people who handle your stuff in a travel situation, and they totally broke that.

*hugs* to Doomsy

Zim ~ This is another sort of thing I need to check under renters-rights; I do have quite a few swords in the house (most of which are combat worthy but not combat sharp), but the lease agreement specifically states no guns.  I'm not keen on them to start with, but it's reaching a point where I would like to learn to fire one and have just something small in the house.  My dad mentioned that he doesn't think that clause in the lease is legal, but again, that's something for me to do some research on.

K ~ I sort of am    Like you said, it's possible that there's something better and safer available, so I have put out a kind of tentative "hey, if anyone knows anyone" sort of thing.  Friends at work have been really forthcoming with news of people they know renting, and although it's all been out of the realm of possibility for us so far, it's been nice to have everyone so eager to help.

I really appreciate all the support here, too   I really came in to rant just to get it out of my system in a safe space, but everyone here is just so awesome

Yar, look at different places. Or better lock. Either way that sucks that you got broken into.


I'm getting fucked over at work this week. I work two closing shifts (which is fine, and normal.) I work noon to 8pm. Then I come back in at 6am and work till 3pm. Noon to 8pm again. Then 4:30 am to noonish/1pm.  BEST thing about the 6am-3pm shift? Just me there. On a Saturday. I'm sure your thinking why is that? Cuz two people get Saturday off this week. Store manager told the only other person they need to take that day off to. Ya. I'm getting hella fucked over.

Damn Ash, that blows. Nothing worse than having the safety of your home violated

Aaron, that's why I never want to work grocery again. 

[naut]

Work is shit and I'm so fucking tired.

I'm supposed to go to Sydney this weekend but if this ash cloud doesn't fuck off I won't be going anywhere.

Let me go on a little rant about work.

I'm a baker working solo out of essentially a pizza kitchen with 2 ovens. Last night I came into work about 12:30am to find out the large oven broke (and no one called me). This sucks because it's going to slow everything down and ruin my timing on everything, but that's ok. It'll take a little longer but I can deal with it. The first big batch of dough goes in and out of the mixer, and about 1:30 I notice that the small oven isn't working either. Huh.

Given that we don't have any actual managers anymore, the only person I can talk to directly is the owner, but now it's nearly 2 in the morning. Even if he was awake, there's no way we're going to get a person here to fix anything. So I throw out about 20lbs of dough and go home for a free night off. Then, I had to make the dreadful call at 8am to the owner and tell him that none of his 4 restaurants have any bread on a Friday. Surprisingly, he didn't get mad, at least not at me.

Then coming in tonight, because last night was messed up, I have to do twice as much work in the same amount of time. 7 hours later, I'm just about done. 50 pounds of bread (144 hamburger buns, 264 slider buns, 72 sandwich rolls), and all I have to do is another 200 pieces of pizza dough.

And people wonder why I dont like nights off.

Also fuck you pittbull owner that was wandering around outside my bedroom window looking for your dog while I was trying to sleep

[rokken like dokken]

I lived next to someone who would take his pit bull out without a leash.  It was a little unnerving.

the fact that google toolbar isnt compatible with the newest version of firefox.

Benefits of cutting yourself while washing the blender: the blades are so sharp that you don't even notice until you start bleeding all over everything

[rokken like dokken]

I see now that this is fitting for not keeping Tylenol in the house - my throat is so sore that the smallest swallow of anything is excruciating and physically preventing me from sleeping.

[TPD]

pointless.

So I've been trying to coordinate movers for our trip to MA. By weight, the initial quote was $1300. Made certain that it was by WEIGHT, and yes it was.  Yesterday I receive an update: due to the VOLUME of my storage shed, not only are they tacking on an extra $2300 BUT they want an additional $1400 to guarantee it will be delivered on time. (instead of a 7 day window where they may or may not show up)  All this despite the fact that the weight is still under 2000 lbs...

Needless to say I told them to take a flying leap

THAT is the exact type of shit everyone seems to be pulling right now.  If some of these services were to take one more step, they would be flat out mugging or murdering you for your money.  It has been happening so much lately that when we were recently having some contract work done in our home, I couldn't believe when it was done that the contractor was actually charging me exactly what his initial quote was.  I even gave him a nice tip for being honest.

Good luck, dee.  That is a load of crap.
