MY DOWNSTAIRS TENANTS ARE RUDE CHILDREN WHO SLAM DOORS, LEAVE THEIR SHIT EVERYWHERE IN COMMON SPACES AND DO NOT SHOVEL SNOW OR TAKE OUT GARBAGE. MY LANDLORD IS NO HELP AND IT MAKES ME HATE LIVING HERE. REEKING, STINKING HOCKEY GEAR CAN LIVE IN YOUR APT, NOT IN THE LAUNDRY AREA, GODDAMN YOU.

MAN ON THE DLR SITTING NEXT TO ME - DID YOU HAVE TO SPEND THE ENTIRE JOURNEY COAXING WAX OUT OF YOUR EAR? AND THEN WIPE IT ON THE EDGE OF THE SEAT, YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF CRAP? AT LEAST YOU COULD HAVE HAD THE DECENCY TO EAT IT.

Strangely I was just thinking of starting a shouting thread.


AFTER SPENDING TWO CLASSES ON HOW TO WRITE A RESUME, BEING SUPPLIED WITH TEMPLATES, SAMPLES, AND GUIDELINES BOTH AS HAND-OUTS AND LINKS TO OUR BLACKBOARD SITE, MY STUDENTS HAD A WEEK TO REVISE THE FIRST DRAFTS OF THEIR RESUMES, WHICH WERE RETURNED WITH COMMENTS. OUT OF 16 STUDENTS, 5 RECEIVED D+s ON THEIR REVISIONS. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW THEY COULD HAVE ALL THAT SUPPORT AND STILL HAND ME A RESUME THAT WOULD GET LESS THAN A C+. FURTHERMORE, AFTER FAILING TO COMPLETE A HALF WAY DECENT RESUME, THESE SAME STUDENTS (FOR THE MOST PART) OPENLY SCOFF AT THE CLASS AS "POINTLESS."

PIE I AM A TEMP NOW, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I'VE NOW BEEN HERE LONGER THAN A WHOLE SLEW OF 'PERMANENT' EMPLOYEES. IT CAN BE A COOL GIG, WELL EXCEPT FOR THAT WHOLE LACK-OF-BENEFITS DEAL.

SIDE RANT: THE DEAD-TREE FILES IN THIS DEPARTMENT ARE THE BIGGEST, MOST COMPLEXIFIED CLUSTERFUCK I HAVE EVER, EVER SEEN IN ALL MY HISTORY OF UNTANGLING CLUSTERFUCKXICATED FILING THROUGHOUT MY LONG AND ILLUSTRIOUS TEMPING CAREER. I SHIT YOU NOT. I CAN ONLY SAY THIS IS THE NATURAL END RESULT OF SIX OR SEVEN DIFFERENT CONTROL FREAKS, ALL WITH POOR GRASP OF RECORDS MANAGEMENT AND ZERO COMPUTER SKILLS. ONE OR TWO OF WHOM WERE APPARENTLY ACTUALLY FIRED FOR THEIR INCOMPETENCE, WHICH IS VANISHINGLY RARE IN THIS INDUSTRY.

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE ELECTRONIC SIDE OF THINGS. MY POOR BOSS SPENDS MORE TIME LOOKING FOR STUFF THAN DOING HIS JOB, WHICH MAKES HIM CRANKY AND ME SAD. I'M DOING MY LEVEL BEST TO RESTORE ORDER BUT AM SERIOUSLY BEGINNING TO WONDER IF A SMALL RANDOM LOCALISED FIRE MIGHT NOT BE THE ULTIMATE BEST SOLUTION.

I JUST SPENT ALMOST $300 ON CAR REPAIRS. MY ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS FACTORY ORIGINAL... MAKING IT TWELVE YEARS OLD. THE MUFFLER WAS ROTTED AND LAST WEEK THE MAIN PIPE SPLIT FROM END TO END DUE TO RUST.
I NEED A NEW WINDSHEILD TO PASS INSPECTION BUT BETWEEN THAT AND THE WATER BILL I JUST DON'T HAVE THE MONEY AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WILL DO.
