View Full Version : RANTS!!! - Go ahead, lose it here.
So I get this sweet deal on a 46" Toshiba rear projection HDTV with DLP and HDMI last weekend. Bought a floor model from Best Buy for only $999.00. They go for $1750.00 with shipping from Amazon to give you an idea of the deal I got.
So I wiggle it into my Suzuki Aerio (sub-compact) and get it home. Get it all hooked up and... fuck, there is a dark swath along the lower left hand corner. Its blurry, like something is in the way, but it freaks me out. I go over the options, then decide to see if Toshiba will pay for repair before I take it back for a full refund from Best Buy.
The spot isn’t bad enough I can’t enjoy the thing over the weekend. The picture is amazing, the sound quality, its freaking huge... its just awesome.
So anyway, following Monday I call Toshiba and they tell me to take it to a location. I don’t want to squeeze it into my car again so I ask my sis, who has a truck, if she can give me a hand. She agrees. We take it in, two days later they say come get it, no problem, it was a piece of felt that came lose, no charge.
I’m stoked. Now the rant. So we are short someone at work and I can’t really get the time off so I ask my sister to go get it and pick me up after work. This is the day we drop it off. She says ok.
So, its Monday and the excuses start. I offer solutions and she says lets just wait a day. Ok, we wait. Now its the second day and more excuses. Then she tells me she can’t do it tomorrow. So I have this bitchin TV just sitting in this shop because I can’t get out of work to pick it up and she can’t get it together to go get it.
This always happens with her. Every time she needs something I am always more than willing to help out. And she asks me for help quite frequently. I feed her cats when shes out of town, help her move shit, all kinds of stuff. But when it comes to me asking her for a favor? Its all a huge fucking hassle.
I finally told her to just let me borrow the truck and I’ll just go get the fucking thing myself on my lunch break but I am fuming because this isn’t the first time that her helping me out was such a huge hassle for her.
I want my big TV tonight. :(

I'd have to say, since we discussed it recently in chat, people who are late or just fail to show up for something.
We have a friend, a good friend because in true need, he is there for you. But when it comes to casual outtings and meetings, it's like asking a ferret to sit still. He'll plan something with us, whether it be to go to the movies or come over to hang out, and then never show. Doesn't call, doesn't say anything, is not even late. Just never shows. I don't get that.
I hate being late to anything. Hell my husband makes fun of me to this day because when we were dating I would insist on being at the movies in time for the previews. I just hate not being somewhere when I say I do. I don't get how someone can say "I'll be there" then not be, without any consideration for those who are waiting.

No, he doesn't have a medical problem. Not everything is. :P He's just like that, always has been, was warned by my husband that its that way. Such is life.
While I was unemployed and desperately seeking work, any work.. I was at the jobcentre every single day, trawling the computers and availability boards for anything at all any able bodied person could do. Completely disregarding my qualifications and experiences just becouse I hated being out of work and hated even more being on the states allowance.
My peeve is 95% of the people there, on the same benefit as me stood by the sides of the rooms, talking, shouting, abusing anyone they saw fit. They had cans of lager in their hands or back pockets, left their screaming babies in the room unattended while they went outside for a smoke.
These are the people who absolutely refuse to even attempt to find work. Instead they do the very minimum they have to to afford their next bag of brown or can of Stella and once they've stayed the minimum amount of time they have to, they go back to the street corners where they wait to beat the living shit out of the next persons face who happens to walk past.
These people deserve nothing more than cancer. Since that's all they are.
So like 5 weeks ago, this dude put in his two weeks at work. Well, a week into it, he decided that two weeks really meant one week. So in comes my boss to tell me that I had to take over his responsibilities until they hire someone else. (This is on top of the fact that on Fridays [a short day anyway] I already take over for another person who decided she doesn't WANT to work on Fridays, and because the big boss is a relative, that's fine.)
Generally, I'm one of the busiest in my office just with my own shit, and because I've proven my competance, I guess my boss decided it's okay to punish me by making me do all of this extra crap. When he came to me with a special project this week, I flat out told him "no." And his reply was, "well I can't ask Myrna (a fucking RETARD who can't do anything right, but for some reason STILL WORKS THERE!?!?!?!) to do this because it will disrupt her "flow." So I get stuck with that too! I mean seriously! 85 people work there, why do I have to do all of this bullshit?
So the real rant is that my boss is in no way looking for a replacement for this person, and the truth is...if he doesn't start in a quick-like fashion, I'm going to grab the closest rifle and find a fucking tower.

Lemme think here.
Ah:
I have acute prostatitis and have been advised to drink 1 cup of tea a day and bathe in a manner of squating my ass into pools of steaming hot bathtub water.
Naturally, I have drank six or seven teabags every day and have taken luke warm showers and about one bath since being advised to do such around three or four months ago.
I have also not massaged my prostate as was advised to me by a physician out of a dire need to retain a bit of dignity throughout this silliness.
Thank you.

So we've lived in this apartment building for about two months now. (It's a three family apartment we own and are renovating to resell in a year and a half). In the summer the lack of heat was fine-- I figured it'd be taken care of WELL before it became a big issue.
WELL, it's now 53 degrees and while my boyfriend sits at work in his nice, warmed office, I am bundled at home wearing two sweatshirts, two sweatpants, and freaking blanket. AND I AM STILL COLD. GAH.
Everytime I ask my boyfriend when they're gonna re-attach the fucking radiators and get the fucking oil delivery, all he does is make an annoyed sound and say SOON.
So I ask him to buy a space heater or something, and he goes, "We won't even be using it in a little while, plus they take a lot of energy."
I guess I should just turn on our gas oven to 200 degrees and leave the oven door open, huh?

Buying $120 election law textbook only to find out two weeks into the class that we're actually just going to answer the same question every, single, mother, fucking, week.
"So, do you think Allen will win in Virginia?"
Some of you may know Susan Estrich. She is the democrats' version of Pat Robertson. You know, the extreme nut-job that the opposing parties cable news-service puts on the air just to make the other party look fucking loco. She's a "political analyst" on FOXNews where she and her wind-tunnel face disgrace the views of good liberals everywhere with her whiney Boston accent and Wellsley-imparted self-importance. She's also a "professor" of "law" at the University of Southern California.
I use the terms "professor" and "law" in a relative sense. They are her de facto title, but not at all her job description. To begin, she is late, at least 20 minutes late, to every class. She always begins class with, "So, what do you want to talk about today?" When no one responds, because, you know, we're there to learn about this shit -- not teach it, she does one of three things:
1) She talks about her failed political career (to wit: She worked for Ted Kennedy in 1980, ran (as in, was in-charge-of) Dukakis' presidential campaign, and recently got forced out of the democratic rules making committee).
2) She references her comrades by their first name. Jim (Carville), Bill (Clinton), Hilary (her Wellsley pal), etc . . .
3) She asks us for our predictions on who will win x, y, and z political races. Today we discussed whether Arnold would win (of course he'll win you crazy bitch), who will be the next Insurance Commissioner of California (honestly, what does this person do besides accept money from insurance companies and collect a pay-check from tax-payers), and then discussed the Virginia and Tennessee mid-terms.
What makes the class COMPLETELY unbearable is that she selected a room which does not receive internet access because, in her words, "No one paid attention."

Keller @ usc
That sounds like one of my classes. I'm taking one on complex emergencies and the guy teaching it is some big name douche bag that knows everybody and has been everywhere.
Unfortunately, that doesn't translate into any sort of ability to TEACH the knowledge he has.
First of all, the guy is a complete flake. The first class, he sent us an email about 25 minutes before it starting that went along the lines of "Hey guys, I forgot classes started this week and as such, I'm in Ethiopia. See you next week"
The next class, he doesn't show up and has one of his buddies show up. (Who also happened to be the like ex head of CRS's Africa division or some shit) Who has no idea what he's supposed to be doing, so it turns into some random ass discussion about Humanitarian Affairs.
The next 5 weeks are pretty much the same with him coming to class, giving us abunch of random readings and shit that have absolutely no coherence. He then gibbers about some random shit in Uganda or Sri Lanka for about 5 minutes and then asks us what we think or want to talk about.
So, everyone looks at him like WTF, I'm not paying 6 g's to ask you random ass questions.
So, he pulls more random shit out of his ass to fill up the time.
I shit you not when I say we had an hour and a half presentation on WASHINGTON DC. Like, and here on Pennsylvania Ave is the white house. The president lives there.
Gee thanks asshole.
The semester is half way over and he hopes to finish the syllabus within the next couple of weeks...
Yea. So to make things worse. This is the guy who is the lead trainer for a series of trainings I'm organizing for Humanitarian Assistance at this NGO. So, our first training is in a week and a half and its like pulling teeth to get the simplest of information out of him, like you know...the times, who he has speaking, the course format etc. The shit we need to actually give to people so they'll want to spend their 2 cents and a couple days learning from us.
My boss lets him basicly get away with the shit, and they try and come down on me and my guys when no one wants to fucking pay for the program without this information.
I think the cake was when I was trying to get this information and my boss is all "Look, I'd love to press him for this information but he lost his wallet the other day and he's pretty stressed out about that."
I guess that makes sense, until you realize that this is the fucking GURU of COMPLEX EMERGENCIES. How the fuck do you coordinate vaccination programs in refugee camps in a war, when you can't fucking deal with losing your wallet. It's scary to think that at any given time, there are probably thousands of people dependent on this man for FOOD, MEDICINE, and WATER, when I wouldn't rely on him to get ass at sorority pledge party.
Jesus fucking christ.

To cap things off, I blew his class off last week because it's a waste of fucking time and I had more important things to do, like study for my real classes.
So, the next day he decides to come into work for the first time in WEEKs and the first thing he says to me is "So, do you want the readings for the class you missed?"

Yale isn't -that- old but it's pretty damned close. Do you ever eat at Claire's? It's not just a garden variety really nasty tofu-swilling vegetarian place, it's more of a gourmet restaurant that simply doesn't serve beef (they sometimes used to have chicken dishes but I don't know if they still do, since I always get the same feta salad when I go). You totally should try their carrot cake, and Claire's chocolate-and-whipped-cream Trifle.
My rant of this post: That some customers refuse to obey the very kind request posted on every table in Claire's, to please BUS YOUR OWN TABLES. They don't -have- busboys and every time food prep has to run out to clean up after a self-important slob, a customer waiting for their meal has to wait that much longer to eat.

That's what I do when I take my dates out for dinner.
I ask her if she likes the salad. She doesn't ask about the steak. (chuckle).
My boyfriend's ex apparently used to order salads all the time and pick at her meals in front of him. He said it wasn't sexy thinking that the only way she could keep a nice body was to super regulate what she ate.
That said, he told me this after he told me he was impressed as hell that I ordered a prime rib on our first big date together, hahaha. Truth is, my step-mother was a vegan for about five years and forced that shit on my family. Sure it was pretty healthy but all it did as make my taste for animal product go through the roof. To this day I'll take an amazing steak over a freaking chocolate bar any day of the week.

I get tired of being customer support support. I don't know why anyone would want to troubleshoot coworker problems as a main job as it not only would make me snicker inside at how stupid they are, but it would make my job happiness practically null. A coworker left last week to work as an internal help desk rep. Haha! Good luck, asshole!
However being one of the senior customer support reps here (because I've been here the longest, not that I'm old, fuckers) I help the other guys with their calls. Once in a while it's just annoying since some of them I tell them the same shit every other day. We have our own website which I update regularly and now I tell them " go to the sharepoint site". They're going to drive me to drink.

I despise legal memos. I hate that I'm supposed to rid myself of style, prose, and beauty, for the sake of clarity and conformity.
I despise that this paper is only due on Monday, and here it is Wednesday, and I'm already starting it, MAINLY BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE IS STRESSING ME THE FUCK OUT. "Where are you in OMII [Objective Memo II]?" "Which cases relate back to the Where, When, and How totality test?" "What is the objective evidence which leads back to the supposition of the fulfillment of the requirement?"
FUCK YOU ALL.

It takes some getting used to. I had similar problems. The fact of the matter is that our profession reads and writes for a living. The more plain language we use, the easier our job is.
Also, you're going to want the paper to be done Friday. Put it down till Saturday afternoon to proof read. Then put it down till Sunday afternoon and proof again. I promise you wont catch all your mistakes if you just proof-read it at midnight Sunday.
Good luck.

This probably won't make sense for those of you without some WoW experience.
I hate logging on at odd times, miraculously finding a group (made even more miraculous by the fact I play a rogue) and then having it all fall apart. Just now, at 4am (3am server time) I logged on to find a group ready to go for Scholo, needing a rogue. I think I'm extra lucky when I get there and realize that 3/5 of the members are from the same guild, which usually means at least one is pretty well geared and knows what's up.
Unfortunately, the tank fucking blew. An hour later, the mage and I are mad (note: DPS classes hate mediocre tanks) and the mage ends up DCing. No problem, usually, we can steam ahead with 4 people or pick up a 5th somewhere - except that they have the viewing room key. The run gets called and I waste an hour of my time.
And I'm sitting here at 5am with an hour to kill, not really time to do anything worthwhile.
I fuckin' owned the damage meter though. #1 with 45% of damage done, with 2 other DPS classes in there.

Hmmm, I can't remember but is Scholo the instance that can require only two people to complete. I know UBRS was a safe three man instance, what about Scholo?

<<(made even more miraculous by the fact I play a rogue)>>
I don't know about you, but most groups I'm in really appreciate the rogue DPS and I have never been rejected unless they were looking for a specific class already.
Scholo is fucking awful anyway. The last time I did it we wiped at least 4 times in the first few rooms.

I'd love to see three people take down The Beast and General Drakkisath.

And yeah, Scholo can be done with a rogue/druid.

With a really well geared warrior and a really well geared priest you could probably do Scholo with 2. As long as the warrior spams whirlwind when appropriate for AoE I can't think of a time it'd be a problem.
edit: Or they can use ThunderFury, which is semi-cheating.

Rogues do awesome DPS when played properly. Unfortunately, there's a ton of people (at least on my server) that play them, so during primetime you'll be competing with lots of other rogues for raid/group spots.

Rogues, I would say, are the best all round solo class. You don't always need a group to do certain quests, like everyone else. You are awesome at pvp. Its just generally less boring to play a rogue. Unfortunately at the higher end, they don't do the best DPS compared to other classes in raids/pvp instances.

I think it's up between rogues and hunters, who can be pretty nasty in PvP from what I've seen. They didn't do Drakk in that video :(

I've seen one with Drakk getting pwned. They pull him all the way back to Rend's room before they finish him off.
