SHOUTING THREAD→[More:]
I GOT REJECTED FOR ANOTHER JOB! THIS TIME AFTER THREE INTERVIEWS!
ALSO, I AM FURIOUS WITH MY DAUGHTER WHO REFUSES TO GROW UP AND ACTS LIKE A 16 YEAR OLD. SHE PARTIED DOWN ALL WEEKEND IN MY HOUSE AND NOW NOT ONLY DO I HAVE TO FIX THE FUCKING TOILET BUT THEY USED UP ALL MY COFFEE FILTERS AND THE NEIGHBORS ARE MAD AT ME.
WHEN I WENT DOWN IN THE ELEVATOR, I ASKED HER 'ARE YOU OK?' AND SHE SAID 'NO' QUIETLY AND WALKED OFF. I SENT AN EMAIL ASKING WHAT WAS WRONG AND IT'S UNANSWERED. I WALKED OVER TO HER CUBE, SHE WASN'T THERE AND HER CUBIE DOSEN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON EITHER. SHE'S ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS, SO THIS IS BUGGING ME SOMETHING FIERCE.
JONMC, MAYBE SHE IS HURTING OVER SOMETHING SO BAD THAT IF SHE TRIES TO TALK ABOUT IT SHE WILL BREAK DOWN IN A BIG PUDDLE. WHICH IS GENERALLY BAD AT WORK. MAYBE SHE IS JUST TRYING TO HOLD IT TOGETHER.
OR MAYBE I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT AND SHOULD STOP YELLING NOW.
Chin up, it's probably not you, Big Sweet. Sometimes you can't really talk about stuff (I don't want to get into examples 'cos it's kinda jinxy). I'm sure she'd tell you if it was your fault.
I'M GLAD YOU STARTED A SHOUTING THREAD, SCIURUS, I WAS THINKING OF IT MYSELF! I'M SORRY THOSE STUPID-HEADS AREN'T HIRING YOU! I'D HIRE YOU! YOU COULD BE MY CABANA BOY!
JESUS CHRIST THE PEOPLE IN THE OFFICE ACROSS THE HALL ARE TALKING SO LOUD ABOUT STUPID SHIT ITS NOT 1998 ANYMORE ITS NOT A DOT COM ITS NOT COOL WHEN YOU PLAY MUSIC REALLY LOUD AFTER 6PM EITHER THIS IS AN OFFICE HAVE YOUR DORKY-ASS FUN AT HOME PLEASE.
I'M FINALLY GOING TO EAT LUNCH! I'M HAPPY BECAUSE IT'S OPENING DAY, BUT SAD BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE RAIN IN BALTIMORE! ALSO SAD BECAUSE I THINK MY ORIOLES ARE GOING TO SUCK THIS YEAR! I'M THINKING ABOUT GETTING ANOTHER TATTOO!
SCIURUS, THAT SUCKS! I WILL TRY AND SEND YOU GOOD JOB VIBES! THEY WORKED FOR MY FRIEND IN PORTLAND - SHE STARTED HER NEW JOB IN MONTREAL TODAY!
MY CAT WOKE ME UP AN HOUR EARLY MEOWING AT THE TOP OF HER CONSIDERABLE LITTLE VOICE FOR NO FUCKING REASON AT ALL EXCEPT I GUESS SHE LIKES ATTENTION SO ANYWAY I'M PRETTY MUCH DEAD ON MY FEET AND MAINLINING DIET COKE TO STAY AWAKE AND TRYING TO AVOID MY BOSS BECAUSE HE'LL MAKE ME DO WORK THAT ISN'T MY FUCKING JOB AND MAYBE I CAN SNEAK A MICRONAP BEFORE HE GETS BACK FROM HIS MEETING.
AFTER EXTENDING THE OLIVE BRANCH RECENTLY, MY EX IS BEING A SHITHEAD AGAIN! DOES ANY NYC-AREA BUNNY KNOW OF ANY GOOD ROOMS FOR RENT FOR LESS THAN $700 INCLUDING UTILITIES?
I HAVE A MOLD ALLERGY AND OCCASIONALLY LIKE TODAY I HAVE TO WORK ON A TON OF OLD CRUMBLY BOOKS SO I HAVE TO WEAR A PARTICULATE FILTER MASK WHICH DIGS INTO MY SKIN AND LEAVES RIDGE LINES ABOVE MY CHEEKBONES.
SCIURUS, SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE JOB! SOMEONE WILL APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE TO OFFER AND HIRE YOU SOON!
REMEMBER WHEN I SAID THAT I FELT LIKE AT ANY MOMENT, I WAS GONNA RUN OUT OF FUEL AND COLLAPSE ON THE SIDEWALK LIKE AN EMPTY BALLOON?! THAT MOMENT IS FAST APPROACHING! I NEED A DRINK!
OH YEAH, I'VE GOT SOME HORRIBLE ALLERGIES GOING NOW AND I THINK I MIGHT ALSO BE GETTING A COLD. WHICH SHOULD BE AGAINST THE RULES BUT I THINK I MIGHT BUY SOME STOCK IN KLEENEX.
AND 24 HOUR CLARITIN IS A GODDAMNED PROFITEERING RIPOFF!
I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A BOOKMOBILE DRIVER, EVEN THOUGH THE ONLY TIME I EVER GOT A BOOK FROM THE BOOKMOBILE WAS ON STATEN ISLAND WHEN I WAS AROUND SEVEN AND VACATIONING AT MY UNCLE GENO'S! I TOOK OUT A BOOK ON THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD SERIES! IT MUST'VE BEEN OLD SINCE THE LATEST CHAPTER WAS ABOUT MAZEROSKI'S HOME IN 1960! WHEN I WENT HOME i KEPT IT AND TOOK IT WITH ME! STILL IT SOUNDS LIKE A SWEET GIG TO ME!
I JUST GOT HOME AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS @ THE S.O.'S AND MY CAT WENT OUT OF HIS TINY MIND IN MY ABSENCE! HE GOT INTO SOME HIGH-TEST CHOCOLATE AND TRASHED THE PLACE! NOT THAT MOST PEOPLE'D NOTICE, BUT I CAN TELL! THANKFULLY HE'S NOT SICK! NOW HE'S GETTING MAJOR SNUGGLES TO HELP HIM GET OVER THE TRAUMA! I THINK HE KILLED A PLANT, THOUGH! ALSO, IT'S PAST TIME TO START THE VEGETABLE GARDEN AND I'VE HARDLY DONE A THING!
