THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD→[More:]THREE TIMES NOW I HAVE BEEN PASSED OVER FOR MY SUPERVISOR'S JOB! I ADMIT I WASN'T PREPARED THE FIRST TIME, MAYBE NOT EVEN THE SECOND TIME. BUT THIS TIME I KNOW I AM, AND YET AGAIN I FIND MYSELF BENT OVER A FUCKING TABLE. THESE FUCKERS CAN KISS MY BALLS, I HAVE FUCKING HAD IT!!!!!
MY HOUSE HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY CONTRACTORS! IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR ALL THESE PEOPLE AND ME AND MY FAMILY TO LIVE IN! THEY BETTER WORK FAST AND GET THE FUCK OUT!
I AM GLAD TO HAVE THE WORK UNDERWAY THOUGH! THAT MAKES ME HAPPY! REALLY FUCKING HAPPY!!
I'M HUNGRY! I WANT A NEW JOB AND A GIRL WHO WANTS A RELATIONSHIP AND WON'T SAY SHE WANTS ONE AND THEN BAIL BECAUSE SHE SUDDENLY DECIDES SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DATE ANYONE EVEN THOUGH SHE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING TO NOT LIKE ABOUT ME. I THINK THAT JUST SOUNDS LIKE A WHITE LIE TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT THE THING WHILE SHE GOES AND SHAGS AROUND. YOU CAN HAVE YOUR $50 DOLLAR GRIDDLE AND $40 DOLLAR OMELET PAN BACK, MISS. WHAT A WEIRD THING TO GIVE SOMEONE FOR VALENTINE'S DAY ANYWAY. I'M HUNGRY.
awwww, sciurus. :-( I almost forgive you for posting the last comment in our now closed cult thread..... ALMOST!
I WANT APPLE TO SEND ME AN IPOD THAT WORKS 100%. AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK, AND I CALL TO ASK FOR ADVICE, I WANT THEM TO GIVE ME ADVICE THAT DOESN'T CAUSE THE IPOD TO COMPLETELY BREAK. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR A MONTH; I CALL SO OFTEN THEY IMMEDIATELY PUT ON THEIR "THIS WOMAN IS CRAZY" VOICE WHEN THEY FIND OUT WHO I AM. JUST SEND ME SOMETHING THAT DAMN WORKS, LOSERS!
TR33HGGR THAT SUCKS, YES INDEED! SCIURUS THAT SUCKS EGGS!!! WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?
I'VE HAD A HEADACHE SINCE LAST WEDNESDAY, GOT ANTIBIOTICS FRIDAY, AND STILL HAVE A HEADACHE. . .AND NOW JUST A FRIDGE FULL OF YOGURT TO SHOW FOR TAKING THE DAMN THINGS!!!
NOW, MA'AM, MA'AM, JUST CALM ... MA'AM, CAN I SPEAK PLEASE? MA'AM!! PLEASE JUST LET ME ... EXCUSE ME .. MA'AM! HAVE YOU TRIED IMMERSING YOUR IPOD IN NAIL POLISH REMOVER? NO? MA'AM PLEASE, WHO IS THE EXPERT HERE? MA'AM! NO, YOU CANNOT SPEAK TO MY SUPERVISOR - HE TOLD ME TO DEAL WITH YOU MYSELF. MA'AM? MA'AM!!!
SO I WENT TO THE DOCTOR THIS MORNING FOR A ROUTINE PHYSICAL. I'M HEALTHY! HE ASKED ME IF I WAS HAVING ANY ERECTILE PROBLEMS AND I TOLD HIM I WAS SINGLE AGAIN AND THIS ONE TIME THERE WERE SOME MINOR PROBLEMS BUT WE WERE BOTH REALLY NERVOUS AND REALLY DRUNK AND HE WAS LIKE HERE HAVE SOME LEVITRA. NOW I JUST NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME TEST THESE BAD BOYS OUT!
HMMMM IS THIS AN ANGRY SHOUTING THREAD OR A HAPPY ONE? BECAUSE I HAVE SOME HAPPY THINGS TO YELL ABOUT- THE QUARTER IS WRAPPING UP AT WORK AND HAS BEEN RELATIVELY SUCCESSFUL, AND I'M HAVING DRINKS TONIGHT WITH THE CUTEST BOY ON EARTH, AND I AM ALL AROUND CUTE.
WHAT REALLY GETS ME (FORGIVE A BRIEF BREAK OF VANITY AND SELF-SERVING) IS THAT I'M EXCELLENT AT MY JOB. AND I'VE BEEN THE ONE CONSISTENT PERSON ON THIS TEAM, DRIVING AND INITIATING CHANGES OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS. BUT ALL THE EXEC TEAM SEES ARE THE SUPERVISORS THEY KEEP PICKING OVER ME, AND ASSUME THEY'RE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIRECTION OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM HAS TAKEN.
WELL IT'S BEEN ME YOU STUPID GOAT FUCKERS. AND WAIT AND SEE HOW YOU DO WITHOUT ME, EH?
OH, HEE, I DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY TR33! I AM SURE YOU ARE A VIRILE, ERECT YOUNG MAN! THE LEVITRA COMMERCIALS ACTUALLY HAVE A DISCLAIMER ABOUT FOUR HOUR ERECTIONS! IT'S AWESOME!
TO HER. I DIDN'T REALLY NEED THEM ANYWAY.

SCIURUS, I DON'T MEAN TO FUCK WITH YOU WHEN YOU ARE CLEARLY NOT HAVING THE BEST TIME OF THINGS, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU WERE REALLY YELLING HERE! AND, WAS THIS THE GIRL WHO WASN'T COMFORTABLE WITH YOU TAKING THAT GREAT JOB AT THE SAME COMPANY AS YOU? IF SO THAT FUCKING BLOWS MONKEYS!
TR33HGGR, YOU ARE PROBABLY GETTING THE SHAFT FOR BEING THE ONLY CAPABLE ONE. THEY NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN ACTUALLY DO THE WORK, AND IF THEY PROMOTE YOU, THEY WON'T HAVE THAT ANYMORE! WELCOME TO OUR WORLD!
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE GOD! THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IN THE SKY LIKE MAGICALLY ENCHANTED SWANS AND SHIT, YOU KNOW? ALSO, MOCKINGBIRDS. AND FALLING ANGELS, ONE OF WHOM COULD HAVE A HOLE IN HIS POCKET AND WHILE HE WAS FALLING HIS MILLION DOLLARS WHICH IS WHY HE WAS BEING BANISHED BY GOD IN THE FIRST PLACE COULD FALL OUT AND LAND ON MY HOUSE. YEAH. MAYBE IT'S ALREADY THERE.
SCHOOL, YOU ARE MIGHTY STRESSFUL THIS SEMESTER! FRIENDS, WOULD YOU STOP MOVING AWAY ALREADY! BOY, WHY WOULD YOU BREAK UP WITH ME FOR NO REASON AFTER A YEAR OF NOT SAYING ANYTHING WAS WRONG, AND IN AN EMAIL AT THAT?
AND HOLY FUCK WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WHEN I GRADUATE? LAST SEMESTER OF UNIVERSITY, WHY AREN'T YOU BEING FUN? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FUN! AND USEFUL! TREACHEROUS LINGUISTICS, SO SEDUCTIVE AND LARGELY IRRELEVANT IN THE WORKPLACE!
AND TORONTO, REALLY... WHERE ARE YOU HIDING ALL THE SMART CUTE BOYS WHO ARE NOT DEPRESSED OR OTHERWISE CRAZY? AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE GAY ONES, I ALREADY HAVE TONS OF THOSE! WOULD YOU QUIT DICKING AROUND AND SEND ME CUTE BOYS TO PLAY WITH ALREADY!! AND A JOB AT A SASSY USED BOOKSTORE WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!
ARE THERE JOBS IN PORTLAND, OR ARE YOU GOING TO BE MY SUGAR-MAMA? I MEAN, I ALREADY HAVE AN OMELETTE PAN, WHY WOULD I NEED ANOTHER? SHE KNEW I HAD ONE. I MADE HER BREAKFAST WITH IT.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT SPELLING IT CORRECTLY, RICHAT, I DON'T CARE.
THIS IS A VERY GOOD SHOUTING THREAD! TR33HGGR AND SCIURUS, I AM SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SITUATIONS.
HEATHERANN, YOU HAVE THE CURSE OF THOSE INCLINED TO SCHOLASTIC PURSUITS. JUST YESTERDAY A STATISTICS STUDENT GOT ALL SMUG ON ME SAYING THAT WITH QUANTITATIVE DEGREES YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE MONEY! I WAS LIKE, OH GREAT, SO I'VE THROWN MY LIFE AWAY ON MY BOHEMIAN, HIPPY, NON-HARD-SCIENCE DEGREE... THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT TRUE LOVE FOR A SUBJECT! BE HAPPY THAT FOR SEVERAL YEARS YOU DID SOMETHING YOU LOVED. IT IS MORE THAN MANY PEOPLE EVER HAVE.
ALSO, YOUR BOY NEEDS TO BE THROTTLED FOR BREAKING UP OVER EMAIL. THAT IS NOT OK.
SCIRIUS, THAT GIRL IS A TOTAL F*ING MORON! LET HER EAT OMELETTES UNTIL HER ARTERIES FILL UP WITH CHOLESTEROL! APPLY FOR THAT JOB AND THEN TAKE IT AND THEN GET THE PROMOTION SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA GET AND THEN LAAAAAUUGH!
TR33, GET A NEW JOB! THEY DON"T APPRECIATE YOU ENOUGH!
I AGREE BREAKING UP OVER EMAIL IS NOT ALL RIGHT! AT ALL!
ALSO, WHY THE HELL ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO BE IN DATING RELATIONSHIPS WHEN THEY CANNOT TELL THEIR ASS FROM THEIR ELBOW? IT'S LIKE THEY'RE WALKING AROUND WITH FUCKING LOADED GUNS, WAVING THEM RANDOMLY IN ALL DIRECTIONS LIKE FUCKING DICK CHENEY. HERE'S A CONCEPT, UNSTABLE DATERS: *BEFORE* DATING SOMEONE, GIVE SOME FUCKING THOUGHT TO WHERE YOU MIGHT LIKE YOUR LIFE TO GO IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS AND HOW OTHER PEOPLE FIT IN, SO YOUR VICTIMS DON'T HAVE TO PLAY THERAPIST WHEN YOU 'SUDDENLY DISCOVER' THAT YOU NEED TO GET OUT!
SCIURUS THAT SUCKS! LOOK AT THE PORTLAND PHOTOS AND SEE HOW FABULOUS WE ALL ARE IN THE PNW (PACIFIC NORTHWEST)! I CAN'T SPEAK FOR PDX BUT THERE ARE JOBS IN SEATTLE!
ALSO: SEATTLE HIP HOP (THE BLUE SCHOLARS AND COMMON MARKET) TOTALLY EFFING ROCKS MY WORLD THIS MORNING!!!
TPS, YOU GOT MY BACK GIRL! WOO! I DO LIKE SCIURUS AND HATE TO PLAY THE RAGING FOUR HOUR HARDON CARD, BUT THAT'S A CARD YOU JUST CAN'T NOT PLAY! *BOING*
HEATHERANN, I CHANGED MAJORS THREE TIMES WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL, FINALLY SETTLING ON MATH! I DON'T USE MY MATH DEGREE AT MY JOB. BUT LINGUISTICS, THAT SOUNDS REALLY INTERESTING! YOU CAN BITCH OUT YOUR PUSSY EMAIL-BREAKUP EX IN DOZENS OF DIALECTS! AND WHAT HALONINE SAID! I DON'T USE MY DEGREE, BUT I LOVED STUDYING NUMBER THEORY AND CRYPTOGRAPHY AND STUFF LIKE THAT!
THIS THREAD IS AT THE SAME TIME MAKING ME LAUGH HYSTERICALLY (HEE, MIKO - SINGLE FILE, PLEASE!), AND SHAKE MY HEAD IN SADNESS AT THE IDIOCY OF EXES AND BOSSES!
I DO, I DO HAVE TONS OF LOVE! TONS! FOUR HOURS WOULD BE A DROP IN THE BUCKET!
THERE ARE JOBS IN PORTLAND, BUT NOT TONS OF THEM! WHAT KINDS OF THINGS CAN YOU DO, SCUIRUS? I CAN'T BE YOUR SUGAR MAMA, SORRY, I'M MY CREDIT CARDS' SUGAR MAMA.
I WANT THE SAME JOBS THAT SCIURUS WANTS! ARE THERE TWO OF THOSE JOBS IN PORTLAND? AFTER SEEING THOSE MEETUP PIX I AM IN LOVE WITH ALL OF YOU AND ABOUT READY TO PACK UP MY DOG AND CAT AND KIDS AND JUST GO!
PORTLAND: HOME OF THE NEW MECHA COMMUNE! ONLY THE WITTY, TALENTED AND UNDERAPPRECIATED NEED APPLY! (OH YEAH, CUTENESS CAN'T HURT!)
I WILL CHAIR THE COMMUNE APPLICATION COMMITTEE AND WILL NEED SOME OTHERS FOR THE COMITTEE! NOT SURE IF E.D. ISSUES MAKES MIKE A GREAT CANDIDATE, BUT HE SOUNDS LIKE THE HAS THE ISSUE WELL IN HAND (WINK WINK)! ANY OTHER VOLUNTEERS? MIKO, YOUR FANTASTIC OUTLOOK ON LIFE MIGHT COME IN HANDY!
I WANT TO JOIN THE COMMUNE TOO. I NEED A JOB AS A .NET SOFTWARE ENGINEER AND AM CUTE BUT NOT UNDERAPPRECIATED. AT LEAST ON MECHA I AM OVERAPPRECIATED. THE REST OF THE WORLD CAN SUCK IT.
