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

Wow... has she not heard of a calculator? lol

The sad thing is this doesn't even require a calculator, I add up my hours and all she has to do is enter them into the program that figures everything else out for her then write me  a check

[Aaron]

Wait. How do you fuck up adding in a number like that?

[luna]

Exactly

[Aaron]

Exactly

Thats sad. I'm sorry that she can't type in a number, and copy an amount... But I laughed...



My mom's birthday is coming up. And I asked what she wants for her bday. a paypal giftcard (which I'm having trouble even seeing if they make them... And its to spend on facebook games...) And the other thing was whatever I pick out would be fine... I love her, but that doesn't tell me shit as to what to get her...

I need to shake things up. I'm stuck in a rut right now. I want a new car, new apartment, new job, and a new degree. I think I can get all of those things, just not all at once.

[TPD]

Phoenix has nine teeth coming in at the same time, and just finished getting over a throat and ear infection.  I feel sorry for the little guy, but holy shit is this insanity hard to deal with.  I've gotten so used to him being a constantly happy little goober, I forgot what its like for him to be an unconsolable screaming machine.  Its almost as bad as when we first got him and he was still going through the final stages of withdrawal, only now he's a lot bigger and can kick and fight a hell of a lot harder.

Also, I did a little math and found out that "pediatric" Advil is the biggest fucking scam in history.  The "children's" Advil is the exact same thing, twice as diluted, and sold in bottles ten times as big for half the price, and its even cheaper if you get store brand stuff.

I never buy name brand tylenol or advil for my kids, generic is way cheaper and has yet to be recalled since I had jerk #1

[Aaron]

I never by name brand drugs... The shit inside is the same in the generic, and cheaper.

When I first got my 7x7 cube, and I solved it the first time, it was an amazing feeling of happiness. Now, I smile, sometimes, thats it. It kinda saddens me.

tl;dr=me bitching about work...
[spoiler]I got told I was gona start to work opening shifts like two months ago. Which is kinda cool. (Other then I close as well) Cuz the other person couldn't do it. So they needed me to. Which is fine, it means, I can leave and not really worry about shit. Now, we got new meat in. And by that, they changed packaging, and instead of "deep basting beef" (more or less they fill it with beef broth, and shit to make it last longer, which it does, by a day.) So really, it rots twice as fast. Which is a huge joke. Cuz 90% of the people that shop there don't care at all about the quality. They just bitch cuz shit is expensive.  So with the new meat, they want us to have a (I swear I'm not joking) Meat Ambassador (really, I swear I'm not joking). I got picked cuz the department manager doesn't want it, and the other people are morons. So I will have to learn a lot more, and be able to spew the propaganda to people. It also comes with a change in work shifts. Which is kinda nice 10am-6/7pm. So at lest that will be cool. But really, if I'm not getting paid more to learn all this shit, I really don't care enough just to do it... It also means, I will get more sleep. Cuz for the life of me, I can't go to bed early... So I have been getting 4-5 hours of sleep. But I will be getting more OH YA!

Also the manager we have, is a fucking retard. Oh there is two people in this department? They both need to work morning shift. Fuck having someone there after 5pm. Also giving half the department Sunday off, is a great idea. Or giving half the department inventory off... Or they move someone out of the department, and don't replace him... [/spoiler]


Its long winded. But I feel better now. (also work has made me give up hope on people. or just makes me wish I did a lot more drugs in high school.

[naut]

Here we go again...  looks like a big lay-off here in a few weeks.  Let the paranoia begin.   

Dude not again!

I usually don't either, but the "pediatric" stuff that's supposedly safe for kids under 2 years old doesn't have a store-brand variety.

And my wife prefers the brand-name extra strength Advil, because the equivalent in the store brand for some reason are fucking ginormous horse-pills that she can't swallow.

thanks for the well wishes re:layoffs guys.  I found out friday that my director supposedly told his executive boss to fuck off when told to lose some people, so my team may be ok.  Our director saves us from so much of the BS that HR and executives try to throw around this place.  I look at other spineless directors around here whose teams completely suffer because their management bends over, takes it, and asks for another.  I guess you could call me grateful. 

[rokken like dokken]

It's amazing how people who suggest massive layoffs and pat themselves on the back for "having to make the hard decisions" never put themselves up.  This isn't really related to what you're saying, it's just sort of peripherally related.

"Oh, hey. I know last month I told you that I could be at the really important meeting you worked your ass off to put together. You know, that meeting where my presence is *absolutely* required?  But now that it's less than a week away, I've decided to schedule something else for the exact same time that takes priority over you.  Figure something out."

Ugh.

People need to get onboard the idea that cheaper devices do NOT necessarily entail a proportionately smaller engineering time than devices which are ludicrously expensive.
