The Rant Thread

[JustSkipIt]

Hmmm. So me again. I guess I have a lot of rants. I should probably work on that. My work is very hard and stressful right now. Yesterday we started testing a system and even though it is a conversion from an existing system in a different language and even though the team has seen prototype after prototype and given feedback/edits etc. and even though I didn't write the fucking thing 11 years ago ... yesterday in testing it was like "THIS IS SHIT!" The manager of the department hated it all (I think it's safe to say). She wanted the first 3 pages rewritten and merged and pretty much every question on page 4 changed and the validation logic changed and the page layout and the capper is that she wants a list that is choose all that apply to use radio buttons rather than check boxes. Well, this might not make as much sense to non-programmers but have you ever noticed that sometimes you check circles and sometimes squares? The rule is that circles (radio buttons) are check one and squares are check multiple. This is not just at my company. As far as I know this is throughout this universe. I've explained this to this manager but she likes round buttons so she wants them all round. I've made most of the extensive fucking changes she wanted and am waiting for my boss to come ream me out tomorrow because he went to talk to her about our standards (which we're blowing off for this project) and then when I asked him about it he was all..." let's talk about it tomorrow" which means he is going to tell me that it sucks. Shit, for all I know she will say that I spoke rudely which I don't think but I don't know.

Needless to say. I'm stressed. I'm scared. I'm unhappy. I'm having heart palpitations. I'm having stomach cramps.

And my wife is doing what she always does which is listen like shit. She only does one of two things about my job: 1. Get more upset than me and then take over the emotion so I have to basically calm her down or 2. Tell me over and over that I'm wrong about my fears or my worries or what someone means. Things she does not do: say things like "that sounds scary" or "you seem upset." she's a fucking therapist and she can't do this. I've asked her over and over to please just listen and support me but she just wants to take over the emotional experience or something. Today on the way home she kept telling me that Jon (my boss) will know that I did nothing wrong and tell me that I can use our standards. I said that I like that idea but it hasn't been my experience of him. I repeat that a few times very calmly and she tells me that she is just trying to support me and I am being rude or something. You know why? Because she's not being supportive!

One of the major banks here (and the one I just happened to recently switch to) had a major IT glitch last Wednesday, completely stopping all transactions going through and stopped balances from being shown as up to date. As of today (almost a week later) they say they've resolved the IT issue, but that it's going to take another week to manually work through the backlog of payments and lodgements. Meaning I have no access to the money that should be in my account and my direct debits/standing orders for rent, bills, etc are now well overdue even though, in theory, the money is there, but hasn't been recognised/processed by the system yet.

It's ridiculous that a huge, multi-national (the bank is owned by an even bigger bank in the UK) had no kind of system in place to cover this kind of glitch, especially since it was a patch they applied themselves that caused it in the first place. It's not only affecting people who use them as their bank, but corporate accounts too where they use it as a clearing bank. Which happens to include our entire national health services, the department of education (ie teachers) etc. None of them can access their wages for going on a second week, same with people getting welfare payments.

Eurgh. Fuck you, Ulster Bank. Fuck you.

[T.G.I.F.]

Oooh, that bank shit happens everywhere. Two months ago I couldn't acces my savings account to put money from there on my regular account. And I really needed to, because I was kinda broke. So I didn't have any money. The day after that the whole system of the same bank had an error, and the most stupid thing was that they didn't know what the problem was. It lasted like a week and I had to borrow money from my parents and friends (oh god, I hate that). After that I opened a second account at another bank just to be sure that I always have money if something stupid like this happens again.

The other day I had a slight "discussion" with my eye specialist... He prescribes IV's for me every month, because my other doctors are under budgets and the hospital where he works is not. Anyway, I got my prescriptions from him for the past 5 years, I think, without any problems and now all of a sudden I get a call to come to the hospital right away, because he needs to speak with me and that can't be done over the phone. Well, even though I was feeling like crap I walked to the hospital. It was a miracle I even made it there (and home again), but that's not his problem now, is it?! So, I arrived and no one knew why I was there. Great! Just great!
After waiting and waiting and waiting, he finally made an appearance, just to embarrass me in front of all the other patients and the staff. Told me he had me come down there, so he could ask me, if I APPRECIATED (!!!!!) him writing me prescriptions. I felt like any minute now someone would just jump out from behind a desk or something to tell me I've been punked. What the hell?! I mean, there has never been a problem and now that? It's his damn job! He's the one driving a Porsche, while I sit at the doctor's every month to get an IV. So, of course, one must wonder, if I APPRECIATE IT!
On top of it all, my insurance called today to remind me, that the medication is quite expensive and that I'll need a new approval from them in August to actually get those prescriptions... Great, just great!

[Finey_McFine]

So, there's this photographer friend jerk that I know and sold some Photoshop templates to about a year ago. He works in a small town about 150 miles NE of me, so it's not a big deal if we both use them. Anyway, I was creeping around his fb page earlier tonight and saw MY marketing piece along with MY images and his phone number! He basically clipped if from my fb pg and inserted his phone #, except the dumb ass left my web address on the bottom. What a douche. He can't even come up with his own original marketing he has to steal mine, not to mention it's totally illegal for him to pass off my images as his own. What an ass.

Okay this rant has been a long time coming. It's the thing that has defined my life the most. Although technically if this never happened I never would have found the KB, so I can't totally complain.

I've grown up in a very insular community for my entire life. I went to a private middle school and am now in a private high school. Because of this, I've grown up and been around the same people my entire life. When i Was in sixth grade, I had my first major crush. She was the smartest girl in our grade and she was perfect as far as I was concerned. So for whatever reason I tell the two "cool" guys in my grade who I was only sort of friends with at the time. Naturally they laughed at me and then proceeded to tell everyone in the grade which traumatized me.

Fast forward two years I'm still in love with this girl but I've never said anything to her because I was an extreeeemely awkward child and I was afraid to say anything. Obviously she knew though and she was being really awful to me in eighth grade but i hardly even cared because I was so crazy about her. Then towards the end of the year, I find out she's dating one of the guys who laughed when I said I liked her. First time I had my heart broken. I wasn't happy but I moved past it. They broke up pretty quickly so whatever.

We all go to high school together now. I had some feelings for her my freshman year but not for most of the year because I was in a brief relationship and had a few other crushes. Then, sophomore year, we became really really close. we did literally everything together and hung out all the time. I was so in love with her, I rarely thought about anything else. So, midway through the year I finally worked up the courage to ask her out. She said she liked me but didn't want a boyfriend so she suggested something casual. Fast forward to the end of the year, we'd been on like hundreds of dates but I never worked up the courage to so much as kiss her and she never brought it up. Last day of finals, we were hanging out having a "school's over chill session." I finally kissed her and it was just...awful. Felt like my mouth got stuck in a hoover. Anyway, we didn't talk about it like at all after that.

Summer goes by, little to no contact with her. She comes back and I found out that she hooked up with some random guy on this program she was on, which I was fine with, I figured we were over. But a few months later, I find out that, the whole time that she was leading me on and I was struggling with awkwardness, she was blowing the guy she had dated in eighth grade, and who had since become a close friend of mine. Moreover, I found out from some guy I rarely talk to, not from her. I felt betrayed on so many levels, heartbroken, and utterly depressed. There were days I know I would not have made it through if it weren't for BtVS, fanfic, and (most importantly) the kittenboard. Anyway, during my extended period of grief I yelled at her, tried to be friends with her, begged her to take me back, and anything else on that spectrum. One thing I was really happy about was that I managed to quote Willow. I told her that "I don't understand it, I don't want to understand it, you have gross emotional problems, and things are not okay between us." So that was fun for me. We tried to be friends a number of times but it always fell through. So now I just have to get by making passive aggressive remarks, talking about her behind her back and whatnot. Only my friends are all friends with her so they don't like when I talk shit about her.

To the rant portion of the rant: Fuck people! What the hell person would do a thing like that? Why the fuck does this shit happen to me? And why can't my goddamn friends be supportive of me? This girl is awful but they're still all wrapped around her goddamn finger cuz she's such a manipulative bitch! I need to be in college right fucking now so I can get out of this godforsaken community and meet people who aren't awful. Although, other than kittens, I'm not entirely convinced that there are good people in this world. Goddamnit!

It's funny that time flies by so fast. One minute you're planning something and the next, you're 5 years later with no fucking clue what you're doing.

I had a plan when I went back to school. It was bad enough to go through mind myself to do a two-year program where more than half the classes were a waste of time. Then I had to figure out which college to attend, which program, where I'd be living...I chose one college over another, not because it was a better one (well it is but not in my program) because I didn't like the other school. I don't regret my choice because I've learnt a lot, and I have a much rounded knowledge of the cinema industry, its history and so on. It was easy when I was in school, because I had three years to figure out a job or career or whatever when I'd graduate.

We're six months later that three years. I've graduated six months ago and I don't have a fucking clue what I'm doing. Oh, I've done things. But now I'm stalled. Again. I'm the "I need a plan with deadlines and a big challenge" kind of person otherwise I get bored. And when I don't have anything concrete to ground me....it's not good. I think to much, my old insecurities and fears catch up with me. I let them drown myself back into a world where I'm scared to take actions to move forward. I want to move out, out of my hometown, out of the country. I want to leave everyone and everything behind, but I can't. All my life all I've done is do everything by myself. Took every big decision by myself. Done my homework alone by the time I was in third grade; quitting school when I was 15; going back at 17; figuring out what I wanted to do in life; get jobs; find a school, and attend said schools. Figuring out my sexual identity.

I'm tired of doing everything by myself all the time.

Sometimes, I want...need someone to grab my hand and pull me up, and show me that I'm not alone anymore. I feel like it won't ever happen. I'm so scared of being rejected that I am careful of the decisions I make. I am always so goddamned careful all the time, it's eating me alive. I get anxious about having to place an order for stuff at work, but I can fly by myself to Los Angeles and go meet people I know but never met in person; I can move forward and face a world reknowned actress without flinching or stuttering (almost) but I can't force myself out of my comfort zone again. I want to stop being so anxious all the time. I want to stop being afraid to live my life like I should be.

My daughter is in Florida for about ten days, so my wife and I have the house to ourselves. I love my kid to pieces, but sometimes you need a break and I was thrilled to have one. Nine glorious days of: No Disney channel or Teen Nick, a clean house and QUIET. Then today my sister emails me that she and the kids are coming this weekend AND next weekend. Thanks for the fucking notice.

This is going to sound bad and I love my sister and nephews dearly, but I wish to fuck you all weren't coming. It SERIOUSLY pissed me off. I have, literally, had people in my house every fucking weekend this summer. I desperately need some time to myself and now I'm not going to get it. Not to mention they're gonna destroy the house and eat all my food. These boys eat like it's the last fucking supper at every damn meal and my sister doesn't think it's the least bit rude for them to devour everything in sight. It's not that I don't want to feed them, it's just fucking expensive. I had all five nieces and nephews here in June and it cost me between five to six hundred bucks to feed them. Do you think my sister or brother even offered to help out? Oh hell no! Because they seem to think I'm made of fucking money.

My sister is notorious for skipping out. Case in point: We went down for my nephew's HS graduation last May and had to stay in a hotel because of some bs between my sister and her husband. Anyway, she had us over for a BBQ, but we had to go to the store first. We load up the cart and she conveniently has to take off before we checked out to pick someone up at the airport. So guess who gets stuck footing the bill? Then later she gives me like $40 and says, "Sorry, that's all the cash I have." I seriously think it's because I'm the oldest, they think it's my duty to pay for everything.

So, when they come up this weekend, I'm hiding food! And I refuse to shop. If she wants stuff, she can go fucking buy it herself.

[RainbowNerdette]

And only buy things you know the kids will hate!
That way you can't be accused of starving anyone or whatever, and they can't make you shop because you have plenty brussel sprouts and such

[Finey_McFine]

Brussel sprouts...HA! But now that I think about it, they'd probably eat all those too!!

[BeMyDeputy]

But, brussel sprouts are nummy . . .

[RainbowNerdette]

Yes they are, but most kids hate them

On topic:

GRRRR Day after day there are cars racing the street and youths shouting under my window from ~ an hour after sundown untill roughly 1 am but of course the MOMENT I was done calling the police on them they vanished.

I'm all for religious freedom but when Catholics return from Christmas eve dinner, or Jews from Hanuka celbrations they have to keep their peace too, so why wouldn't that go for Muslims after their breaking the Ramadan fast party??? But they appearantly feel no need to conform with the laws, yes laws, not even traditions or customs, but LAWS, we have.

After 10 PM it is the LAW to make as little noise as reasonably possible!!! Get that into your FUCKING HEADS!!! I want to SLEEP this month, not in ~ 20 days but preferably ASAP TBQFH!!! </rant>

[RainbowNerdette]

Two rants in a row, great week!

Girlfriend's being a total whinemachine... Yelling at me for breaking promises I didn't make in the first place. I said MAYBE I'll visit TOMORROW.. and she was all "I was standing in front of the window waiting for you blahblah angry angry" when this kind of behaviour is EXACTLY why I'm thinking a break up is the only way to go.

And bitching about me having appointments and work on nearly all weekdays... Some people have a life you know! It's not like I'm off to disneyland 5 days a week.

[Kessari]

Yesterday I had to go to the hospital once again to have this colouring analysis. It's like an MRI just for the eye. Really uncomforable, but nothing too bad. The worst part is the waiting for hours in a boiling hot hospital and the side effects of the shot they give you. Anyway, the result was the same as last year and my damn doctor had the nerve to suggest a procedure on my eye, that is totally unnecessary, very dangerous at the same time and just... ARGH!!!! Why??? Why would I risk my eyesight for about 10-20 percent more sight, if I'm happy the way things are? Any rational person would see that, but apparently not him, who is one our of three specialists for this in Germany. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? God, I wanted to hurt that guy. So very, very much!

[Finey_McFine]

So, I don't usually rant about my wife, but she seriously irritated me tonight, to the point of a complete meltdown and it's really stupid. She got home form work, plopped down on the couch and said, "So, what's happening tonight?" Referring to the Olympics that I was watching. I start by telling her that Misty and Kerri lost their first set ever in an Olympics and broke the streak. I didn't even finish the sentence when she fucking cuts me off...

C: "NO, that happened Monday when we were watching."
ME: 'Uhhh no, I just watched the entire match and it just happened tonight. I can replay it if you want.'
C: "I don't need to see it. I know it already happened."
ME: 'NO, IT DIDN'T.'
C: "It happened on Monday. They lost the 3rd set and won the 4th."
ME: 'You are starting to seriously piss me off, because for starters, there is NO 4th set in Volleyball. It's the best 2 out of 3 and besides, I JUST FUCKING WATCHED IT.'
C: "Whatever, if you say so."

I couldn't careless about the subject of the disagreement, but why the fuck can't she just take my word for it? I JUST WATCHED IT!! I'm not a complete idiot! She has to argue the point and then do a trademark fake concession. It's infuriating!!!

[RainbowNerdette]

Today there were some people under my window being quite loud, this happens a lot this month, guess people are happy to break the fast and keep the party going on the way home. I ignored them hoping they would pass along quickly. Mere minutes later I heard some extra loudness followed by two or three *adrenaline messes up my counting skills* big thuds and a hell of a stink...

You must know I don't like bananas unless they are very recently past their green stage.

big chunks of almost-rotting fruit flew through my room, hitting the open window, windowsill, a poster, all my earrings that I had JUST lined up there... Oh, and the floor I had JUST scrubbed today.

Guess it annoyed someone that I wear a summer dress when lounging in the windowsill, or that I have walked down the street holding my girlfriend's hand quite often, both activities me harassed at times... So in the middle of the night I had to call the police, take pictures, clean my room AGAIN, all in that terrible stink *I REALLY don't like ripe bananas* and order a new poster, well, not that last bit as it is too expensive, especially with shipping :-(

And I have to fit a visit to the police station into my very busy day tomorrow they prefer it reported and to be honest, so do I.

I am wearing a fucking BIKINI next time I'm enjoying the sun on my windowsill, and I'll replace that Melanie C poster in front of the window with some nice 'n classy early 1900s lesbian burlesque image.

Fuck them, sorry for the rant.
*I'm just glad I won't be held responsible if there's any damage to the house or the closet.*

For the past five days, I've lived in the city with the higest temperatures in Germany. Pretty much 40 degrees Celsius every day....
First it's crazy hot in April and May, then it's just RAIN all the damn time in June and July and now it's crazy hot again... What the hell is wrong with this place? I enjoy the summer, but this is ridiculous. It's like 50 degrees in my apartment all day long and in the next couple days the temperatures are supposed to be dropping almost 20 degrees... It's weird, it's giving me headaches, I love it and I hate it at the same time. Can there be some rain please?

[Finey_McFine]

So, my kid is into this dumb ass show, Beverly Hills Nanny. She sucked me into watching today, even though I'd much rather have been watching College Football. Anyway, these people are assholes. I mean first class douche bags!

This lady has one son conceived artificially through a surrogate or AI and she has a "Manny." The kid is like 5, 6, 7 I don't know and she doesn't feel comfortable talking to him about sex, especially since he wasn't conceived through sex. WHAT? Are you fucking kidding me? She just doesn't feel like doing it and is passing it off on the Manny and he's feeling awkward because it's not his kid. She said something to the effect that since he was a guy and had a cool accent it would be better for him to explain things. See? Dumb ass.

Let me give you some advice lady: RAISE YOUR CHILD. The key word being YOUR. If you didn't want to talk to your son about sex, then maybe you shouldn't have had a child to begin with, because it comes with the territory. Oh and while we're at it, you may also want to spend some time with him instead of going to the spa everyday and then complaining about how tired you are.

I think the next time we see this kid will be on the new MTV show, Teen Dad's.

[Laragh]

That show is my guilty pleasure. It's so bad. But there are those moments when those parents go from ridiculous to just plain bad and then it becomes less guilty pleasure and more rabid annoyance.

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I try not to care what people think, but it still hurts when people I love don't get it. Lately I find my best friend rather hurtful with her judgement, and I find myself withdrawing from the friendship because of it. When I told her I was going to visit my girl in December, her first response wasn't happiness or excitement for me, it was "She needs to come see you." She also calls me a cradle-robber, for dating someone who's 18, and though she claims she's joking I know on some level she's not, and it hurts, and pisses me off a bit. She doesn't think I should allow my relationship to be a factor in decisions; she claims to hate that she's commitment-phobic, but she seems to judge me quite harshly for not being afraid to commit. My girlfriend *matters*, I want to spend my fucking life with her, and I just wish my friend would try to fucking get that. I know there's a lot my mum doesn't get either, but at least she tries to understand rather than just judging me. Isn't it a friend's job to be supportive? I feel like my best friend is falling way short of that lately. I feel like I can't even tell her things. Today I did something nice for my girl, and if I told my best friend she'd probably think my girl was just using me. Is it too much to ask that she just show a little support, be just a tiny bit happy for me that I found someone who loves me? My girl and I have come so far, and my friend refuses to see it, and I'm fucking tired of it. Sometimes I get insecure, not because I don't trust my girl or our relationship, but cause that's me; when those moments come, I need a friend that can believe in me and my relationship, a friend who can reassure me rather than always assuming the worst. And the truth is that is not her.

[JustSkipIt]

This isn't particularly a rant but is longer than a random moment:

A few months ago a new kid moved in across the street. He has a single mom and is here 1/2 the time and with his dad 1/2 time. He's a nice kid but doesn't have much in common with Asher. Nonetheless both kids are enthusiastic to play together and both sets of parents get along well and are enthusiastic as well. But they don't like to play any of the same games. K wants to play video games, specifically violent ones and we just have Wii mario cart and marble saga and Fit and such. He wants to play cops and robbers and stuff like that.

So K has a tendency to come over right at dinner time. I know that's partially because he has to do an hour of homework before he can play and it's ok because we like the kids playing together. Yesterday he came over and Rachel let him in and out in the backyard to play with the kids. He had a shield with him and I didn't see it but Rachel said he had a nerf gun with him too. I said that's not ok so she said go tell him. I went outside, called him over and explained to him that we don't play with toy guns in our house and that for today he can just set it on the table and not use it but not to bring a toy weapon to our house again. I asked if he understood and he said yes. A little while later I go out to tell the kids 10 minutes to dinner and he's holding the gun. I asked him to hand it to me and told him it would be by the front door when he went home.

I don't want to make a big deal of out it with his mom because it's so hard to do that without seeming judgmental but I don't agree with letting kids play with toy guns and weapons and he can't bring them over.

[RainbowNerdette]

Maybe you could just tell her that while you respect her decision to let her child have a toy gun, you would appreciative the same level of respect when it comes to your decision of not exposing yours to them and ask if she'd talk to her son and explain to him that when you are at someone elses place, it's their prerogative to set the rules.

That's not a judgmental thing to do at all imho, it is something that's hard for kids to learn sometimes, but respecting other people's rules when you're with them is right up there with other valuable life skills.

MEN!!!

grmbl HOW do I manage to keep attracting horny men that can't take a hint when it comes to sodding off?

[Kessari]

I'm annoyed beyond belief:

In May I pre-ordered a book (Bones Are Forever by Kathy Reichs), because well I always buy her the newest books in the series as soon as they are available through pre-order. Anyway, it was supposed to be delivered on August 28 and she didn't get it until almost a week later. A bunch of other people I know got theirs in time. Amazon offered no explanation when I emailed the customer support.

Today I was supposed to get a book I pre-ordered weeks ago and again - nothing! Okay, I probably should have bought the Kindle Edition, but since I have all the other books in the series as hardcovers I wanted this one as well. Once again, my friend got his copy in the mail today and mine hasn't even been shipped and in my order it says it probably won't be shipped before October?!

Why do you offer pre-order with guaranteed delivery the items are released and then don't even offer an explanation why nothing is shipped or late?! *growls*

Never had this problem with pre-orders before and sure things like that can happen, but twice in about two weeks is just aggravating. Especially if you've looked forward to your delivery for months!!!!

I am working with photoshop to make a poster for my short movie, and it's getting awesome. But photoshop is soooooo sloooow with the merging thing, and I'm just too impatient to wait for it everytime...

[JustSkipIt]

My boss loves to call us into a meeting room to give us sort of anti-pep talks. Sort of "here's this minor thing that you do wrong that I love to point out."

Today he's all, "do you have a minute." He tells me that one of the bosses (LC) was walking down the hall and mentioned something else to him and also that an auditor (HE) had an issue a while ago about XYZ and that she says the answer was "it's just an Access" error. So he is theorizing that I have a tendency to tell people that it's just the way the app works or just an application error and that I need to make the customer feel taken care of.

Well... I remember this call. 1. It was A MONTH AGO! 2. I searched for the answer, explained it to the customer, explained that this is the way Access works, sent her an e-mail explaining it, stayed on the phone until it was resolved, and asked if there was anything else I could do.

So let me see if I get this. I explained the way Access works. Satisfied the customer. She perhaps mentioned it in passing to her boss or perhaps the boss between them and she didn't understand it. Then she mentioned it to my boss and he gives me a lecture.

I actually asked him given that I did all I said in #2, what did he think I should do differently. He said that he doesn't know but it seems like it might be a pattern since this totally other different thing (which he says has nothing to do with this at all) happened last week.

WTF!

[Ariel]

Boring staff meetings!

I tell myself over and over, "you are getting paid well to sit down and listen, so just do it" but I get sick of endless downloads. Please, please, please - give me a problem to solve, a team to work with, and something to show for it after the meeting besides relief that boredom didn't claim my life! I LOVE accomplishing something and making a difference and would so much rather do that than feed my boss' need to feel important. My boss is decent so I can't hate him, but I have a hundred productive things I could be doing!

*Sighs* So, last night I had a friend on Facebook comment on a post saying that HE would "be a lot happier if I would leave politics off Facebook." Seriously? Where the fuck do you get off telling me what I can and can't post on Facebook? Plus, my posts were pretty tame, mostly funny stuff from Twitter, but he didn't agree with my POV so he felt it was his duty to try and influence my posting. Why do guys think they can just tell women what to do? Arrogant fuck.

So, today I wore my brand new Houston Texans long sleeve shirt. It's about 90% blue with some red on the sleeves, with the ONLY white being in the stitching of the logo. So, where do you think I spilled my strawberry smoothie? My clothes staining red strawberry smoothie. Was it on the blue? No. How about the red? No, because that would have been too easy to clean. Oh, I know! How about the .1% of the white stitching? Because it's nearly impossible to get clean after strawberry soaks into it for a couple hours. I wore the fucking shirt all damn day. We went to the movies, I cooked dinner, and ate dinner in it. Nothing. But God forbid I drink a smoothie, using a straw no less!!! I almost made it through an entire day without spilling something down the front of me. So. Freakin'. Aggravating.
