30 January 2008

THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD BECAUSE I AM PISSED OFF AND I DEMAND AFFIRMATION [More:]

I ORDERED OVER $100 WORTH OF SUPPLIES FROM B&H. MY SISTER WAS SUPPOSED TO DROP THEM OFF AT MY DORM AT 8:30 THIS MORNING. 8:40 ROLLS AROUND, AND SHE CALLS TO TELL ME SHE'LL BE AT THE FINE ART CENTER (WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CAMPUS) UNTIL 1:15.

I TELL HER SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO DROP THEM OFF. SHE DENIES THIS. I CALL MY FATHER TO CHECK TO SEE IF I'VE FINALLY LOST MY MARBLES. HE CONFIRMS MY VERSION OF EVENTS. I TELL MY SISTER THIS. SHE SHRUGS IT OFF AND TELLS ME TO COME GET THEM ANYWAY. IT IS EXTREMELY WINDY, VERY RAINY, AND THE CAMPUS NOW CONSISTS ENTIRELY OF CHOCOLATE PUDDING AND DEAD GRASS. THE FINE ART CENTER IS HALF A MILE FROM MY DORM. I AM ON FOOT. SHE HAS A CAR. SHE FUCKED UP. I DID NOT. YOU SEE THE INJUSTICE?

I CANNOT PICK THEM UP AT 1:15. I HAVE A MEETING WITH DISABILITY SERVICES. WHY CAN'T MY 504 PLAN MAKE HER DROP THEM OFF? IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE TO USE UP A ROLL OF FILM BEFORE MY 2:00 PHOTO CLASS, AND IT IS RAINY AND NOT GOOD PHOTO/WALKING WEATHER.

tl;dr = MY SISTER IS BEING A JERK AND DID NOT DO WHAT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO, MUCH TO MY CHAGRIN, AND IS HOLDING EXPENSIVE STUFF I NEED FOR A CLASS HOSTAGE, AND ALSO THE WEATHER SUCKS.
SIBLINGS SUCK. THIS IS A FACT.

I FANCIED UP MY HAIR AND MAKEUP TODAY AND PUT ON A SMART COAT AND WALKED OUTSIDE ONLY TO GET CAUGHT IN A SUDDEN DOWNPOUR IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES, LEAVING ME ALL MASCARA RUNNY AND FLAT HAIRED. YES THE WEATHER SUCKETH GREATLY.

I AM IN TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH THIS COMMENT.

COMCAST IS BEING A BIG BUNCH OF POOPYHEADS ABOUT OUR INTERWEB SERVICE. NO, ACTUALLY I DON'T THINK WE PLAN TO PAY THEM $200 FOR ME TO SPEND AN HOUR ON THE PHONE TRYING TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT ONLY TO LOSE A HALF DAY OFF WORK TO HAVE THEM DRILL HOLES IN OUR SHIT THEN TELL US THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT IN THEIR SERVICE. THERE'S PLENTY OF WIFI LOCALLY AVAILABLE THAT ALTHOUGH IT IS NICE-TO-HAVE, IT IS NOT NECESSARY-TO-HAVE INTERTUBES AT HOME.

CitrusFreak, I (((hug))) you and hope your day goes better. I don't have any siblings, and although this used to make me sad as a kid and sometimes pissed off and neurotic, too, since EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME, WAS ALWAYS MY FAULT, EVEN WHEN IT REALLY WASN'T!!, there are now times that I feel this is a blessing. Like watching interactions between Mr. lfr and his crazy princess wacko of a sister, not to mention my own family's dysfunctional flailings, I can honestly say: YES, YES, INDEED, SIBLINGS DO IN FACT SUCK.

I AM SORRY THAT SOME OF YOU HAVE SIBLINGS WHO SUCK. SIBLINGS WHO DO NOT SUCK ARE A GREAT JOY.

meh, i'd say they're "okay," don't know about "GREAT" joy....

I DON'T MAKE ENOUGH TO AFFORD TO GO ON VACATION, BUT MY BOSS JUST GOT BACK FROM HIS, AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT, WHILE HE WAS GONE, HE COULDN'T FIND THE TIME TO REMOTELY LOG ON TO HIS COMPUTER AND TAKE CARE OF PAYROLL. IT'S THE END OF THE MONTH, RENT IS COMING UP, AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO PAY MY CRAZY LANDLADY ON TIME!!!

CITRUSFREAK YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD AND TOOT YER HORN, DUDE!
posted by lonefrontranger 30 January | 13:43
I'LL TOOT EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T GOT ANYTHING BUT HAPPY THINGS TO SHOUT ABOUT BECAUSE LIFE IS FRICKIN GRAND RIGHT NOW AND TOOTING IS FUN!

TOOOOOOOOT TOOOOOOOOOT!!!

EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME, WAS ALWAYS MY FAULT, EVEN WHEN IT REALLY WASN'T!!

This is also the case for the eldest sibling. And it sucked.

*sticks tongue out at dno

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TIME I'M SUPPOSED TO GET OFF WORK TOMORROW, BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA IF THEY'VE FIXED THE HEATER AND THEREFORE WILL HOLD A FULL DAY OF SCHOOL, OR IF THE HEATER IS STILL BROKEN AND THEREFORE THEY'LL LET US OUT EARLY. IT'S ANNOYING NOT TO KNOW WHICH OUTCOME TO BE ANNOYED BY.

I'M GLAD YOU GOT HERE FIRST. I WAS ABOUT TO SMACK HIM.

I JUST STUMBLED ON A BLOGGER WHO LINKED TO A PICTURE OF A GAY MARRIAGE AND SAID, "I'M A LIBERTARIAN, SO I DON"T THINK THE GOV'T HAS A RIGHT TO LEGISLATE MARRIAGE, BUT LOOKING AT THESE PICTURES OF TWO ESTATICALLY HAPPY MEN HUGGING ALL GAY-LIKE MAKES MY STOMACH CHURN. IT'S GROSS! DOES THAT MAKE ME A BIGOT?" AND THE COMMENTS WERE ALL "NO U R SO RITE THOSE GUYS R TOTAALLY GEY N THATS NOT RITE." AND I WANTED, JUST FOR ONE SECOND, TO GIVE UP AND MOVE TO SOME MOUNTAIN CAVE WHERE I CAN DENY THAT PEOPLE LIKE THAT EXIST.

posted by dno 30 January | 14:58
ANY TIME YOU HAVE TO ASK "DOES THAT MAKE ME A BIGOT?", THE ANSWER IS ALMOST CERTAINLY YES.

MY COWORKER WON'T STOP USING THE PHRASE "HIP TRANSGENDER MULTICULTURAL WHATEVER." WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE HER STOP???

PLEASE?!?!?!?!!? NOT SAYING SOMETHING IS MAKING ME FEEL LIGHTHEADED, AND SINCE SHE'S NEITHER (A) TALKING DIRECTLY TO ME NOR (B) A VERY GOOD LISTENER (NOR (C) REALLY CONVINCING ANYONE HERE OF ANYTHING), SAYING SOMETHING WOULD LIKELY MAKE ME ANGRY. AND FIRED.

ARGH.

ALSO, LET GO OF MY TONGUE!

I CAN'T IMAGINE ONE SENTENCE WITH THIS PHRASE, LET ALONE ENOUGH SENTENCES THAT SOMEONE ELSE WOULD BE ANNOYED THAT I USE THE PHRASE!
posted by ThePinkSuperhero 30 January | 15:17
YEAH WHAT ON EARTH IS SHE TRYING TO SAY WITH THAT PHRASE? IT'S STUPID ALL OVER.

She's using it derisively to complain about tax money only being given to "politically correct" nonprofit organizations. I'm guessing most racial minority transgender folks in need of social services don't tend to choose their race or gender identity based on whether or not it's "hip." Sigh.

OOOOH, YAY! SHE WENT TO LUNCH! WHICHEVER ONE OF YOU BUNNIES DID THAT, THANK YOU!

RUPAUL IS STEALING ALL OF OUR TAX MONEY!!
posted by mudpuppie 30 January | 15:29
God, occhi - I had a colleague once whose phrase was "left-handed lesbian whales". Shut up, you don't make any sense. YAY FOR GOING OUT TO LUNCH!

AND I BET RUPAUL LOOKS FAAAAABULOUS IN ALL YOUR MONEY!
posted by goo 30 January | 15:56
I AM GOING TO SET UP A CHARITABLE FOUNDATION RIGHT NOW TO SEND RUPAUL MORE MONEY!

CAN I BE YOUR CFO?

posted by mudpuppie 30 January | 17:02
YES!

BUT ONLY IF YOU CAN EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE COPIER COMPANY THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO LABEL THE DUPLEX OPTIONS "2-->1" AND "1-->2", EVEN THOUGH THAT COULD MEAN "2 PAGES INTO 1 PAGE" OR "2 SIDES INTO 1 SIDE" AND THEREFORE IT IS TOTALLY NOT MY FAULT THAT I JUST MADE 32 PAGES RATHER THAN 9 PAGES.
posted by occhiblu 30 January | 17:16
Or, you know, 36 pages, if correct arithmetic is your thing...
posted by occhiblu 30 January | 17:17
THE TRICK IS TO LOOK AT THE LITTLE PICTURES AND IGNORE THE TEXT!
posted by mudpuppie 30 January | 17:18
THE PICTURES WERE TOTALLY CONFUSING! BECAUSE THEY ONLY DISPLAYED ONE THING, AND I COULDN'T TELL IF THAT WAS A "BEFORE" OR AN "AFTER"! SHOWING ME A PHOTO OF A PAGE WITH TEXT ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK IS SUPER-HELPFUL ONLY IF I ALSO KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT MY PAGE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, OR WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW!

Sigh. I totally fail copying. This is why I'm anti-GMO.
