So it's late and I can't sleep, a perfect time to complain.
I'm going to start off with late night trains in Langley. I am not pleased.
Maybe someone has something else?
Don't forget the extremely inadequate bus service, that sometimes finds itself up to 20 minutes early at its stops.
Oh yeah that too. And people listening to really loud music on busses.

You guys dont know how lucky we are to have a bus system that works at all...
I grew up in Nanaimo where you were lucky if the bus came once an hour.. never mind on time
Wnagsters smoking in a park... No one wants to go near that. An I wanna go on the swings damnit! D:<
Im stuck in a small town with gangs drugs and violence and homeless ~ ish struggling to find a place to afford thats somewhere far from this town.. l3
I love BCTransit. Living in the US has shown how wonderous that system is. Woot for buses. Woot for ferries. Double woot for skytrain.
god dam government and also the senate cuz we just waste money on that
Another vote for the government, but I think the Liberals are finished in BC, after lying about the HST and pushing it through with massive opposition from the people, no way in hell they are getting elected again.

And that leaves us with who? Glen Clark f**ked us out of our money on an unimagined scale, Gordie Campbell is proving that he's nothing more than a Communist prick and is as oblivious to people and their opinions as Kim Jong Il is (minus the execution bit). The Pot, Sex and similar parties, I have no use for, as their views are simply too radical and/or harmful. That leaves the Conservatives and I know dick all about them. Not that I really care. This is why I quit voting.

your always picking the lesser evil with politics one way or another, I use to vote liberal, but that was when I was rather stupid XP Frankly, im voting ANYONE but liberal next round, they have had the longest fuck over streak for BC I have ever heard of and witnessed. If the current government is just gonna play "opposite day" when why even keep them in? They are going to institute a tax change that only makes struggling peoples lives HARDER and they have adamantly opposed any change in the minimum wage.
Bluntly put: less money for YOU, Dunno how much your making at what ever job your at, but I know how hard it is even trying to make it on the bullshit "generous" offer of $9/hr, no one can live on that in any shape or form without like 3 other roommates... and now even more of that sub-poverty income is gonna be sucked away. Liberals have been screwing us over for too long.

I don't like the spray painting thats making the community look degraded.
agreed
there was a beautiful painting in Comox and they painted over it. I was sad :(
lol there is hardley spray painting work here i actually dont mind grafitti as long as its got effort into it and artistic and if its not damaging someone elses artwork like a mural.
but since this town is that cheap there is alot of writings with felt markers over thinks or stencil work
how about the people on the bus who I swear to god, bathe in perfume or stink of BO. both make me gag.
Oh, I got one.
When companies put out those "now hiring" or "help wanted" signs on their windows, that's open for people dropping off their resumes. Now, as a whole, that's fine, and it's understandable that managers have to sift through a number of these a day, but what really frosts my nipples is when these folks don't have the courtesy to call the number posted on the resume and say "sorry, you don't get the job", or "we've just hired someone else". I hate that. I call it "false hope", and false hope is bullcrap.
I know it sounds minor and they go through a million resumes a day, but to me, it's a rather big boil.
Well... First off it's more than just a chore to have to call up a dozen or more people... second off it's a hard conversation to have. I can see why they don't want to spend an hour or two delivering bad news to people.

I have to say it, but this is the reason why we get so screwed over, way too much apathy regarding politics and no drive to even vote. If one isn't going to even try to vote at all, then there is no point complaining IMNSHO
ya you do have a point you have no control over who gets in unless you actually vote it is pointless to get mad if you didn't even vote
I like the spray paint. I like to spray paint. There is nothing wrong with most of the stuff that is out there, not in this city anyway. There is nothing wrong with art, but there is something wrong with a "4:20" leaking down the wall because kids don't have brains. v.v :-[

4:20 and gang signs, and where they tend to be placed too.
I have seen public projects where they openly invite people to spray a wall, but later on some douche turd comes along and spray paints a crappy gang sign or some pot reference like 4:20
ya exactly i like the grafitti that actually has effort put into them with art and abstract if its just going to be some writing saying 420 or a gang sign like ours here "712" lol then its pretty much ridiculous and stupid they dont really tend to catch my interest.
I wanna try grafitti abstract and that one day most likely on something tht no one is going to fuss over
I live in a town full of 'artists' but our city is too 'heritage' to have a wall that we're allowed to do art on. I'm hoping once they get the skate park up next year we'll be able to get some really good art out there. :3
p.s.- artists is in brackets because lots of them are just crazy hippies x.x
lol nioce sounds like me i am a crazy hippy
You know what pisses me off? Everyone. Doesn't matter who it is, there is always something about them that angers you.
An article headlining the Surrey Leader describes the tolls that will be in place once the replacement Port Mann Bridge opens in 2013. For those of us who have spent our whole lives driving in this region, the concept of tolls must sound foreign. Tolls are for places like San Francisco and New York, where every bridge and crossing is tolled. The truth of the matter is that tolling is not a new phenomenon around these parts. Tolling was commonplace on the Pattullo Bridge until the 1950s and on the Lions Gate Bridge until the 1960s. This was before our time, and so we have grown accustomed to viewing bridges as an extension of the free road network. When the Alex Fraser Bridge opened and the Lions Gate went through major renovations, tolls did not appear. Now the Golden Ears Bridge was build and has tolls; the Port Mann will have tolls, and once the Pattullo Bridge finally gets replace it too will certainly have tolls.
We do not have to pay in order to use a road; we already pay enough for the price of a car, and more than enough for the price of oil. I understand the desire to recoup construction costs via tolling, but this is going to make going across the river much less appealing.
I hate it when I order at a fast food place and stand there for five minutes staring at the burger that was made for me until one of them finally puts it in a bag and hands it to me. It takes longer for them to hand me the burger than it does to take my order and make it. >:(
stupid muscles hurt when i get punched why do that have to hurt like common I would do allot better if didn't hurt so much when i get hit. Then again i can get hit and i don't feel anything so i guess thats not bad lol.
Really more of a joke complaint lol
I hate my pay day being jerked around by my new boss who is otherwise pretty awesome, and my coworkers... well actually I think I just dislike people in general today :\
THIS is what I hate...
Checking my cellphone bill today to see that someone is jerking around with the tax system! I know an excuse could be "well they are just prepping for july and I bet it will change by then" But I still see that as just robbery. It shouldn't even be legal to do that. So its either Rogers screwing me over for a cell service that's about as reliable a a car running on 3 cylinders or this is more of the same we have come to expect from our current government...

You saved $1.26 on your GST and $1.75 on your PST... which comes to a total of $3.01, which is how much your paid for your HST. :P
I think they were charging GST and PST up to a certain point in the month, and then had to charge HST (rather than both GST and PST) on whatever charges were added to your cellphone bill during the remainder of the month.

What irks me are people who blame their personal crap on their friends. Like WTF?! >:( Would you tell your friend that in order to keep the friendship they would have to kick one of their other friends to the curb? The things I have heard make me want to distribute a good swift kick to the nuts.

People who pull into the parking lane at stoplights when no one's turning left and they can see that there are cars parked in that lane on the other side, just so they can get around a few people.
Also people who, when stopped at a red light, start creeping forward before the light has turned green as though the strain of waiting is killing them.

Those people too. I was behind a guy on Hastings in Burnaby once and every single light, he stopped with his back tires on the stop line and his car completely across the crosswalk. I'm not sure if he was a jerk or just clueless.

I'm totally not trying to be a jerk here... but being a man myself, this complaint is about as old as indoor plumbing. You know the seat works both ways, right? We have to lift the damn thing every time we use it. However, totally agree with you on the toilet paper complaint. One of the simplest devices ever created, yet few people seem to know how to replace a roll. :) I also have sympathy for the wet ass thing. Never fun, having done it a few times myself.
My complaint? Days when it's brutally hot, muggy, and hazy. Like today. I'll take 33 degrees on a clear sunny day with a light breeze any day over this grossness.

M thing to complain about is... the heat. I can't stand it being so hot. Especially because it is at least 10 or 15 degrees hotter in my bedroom. I am outside right now to stay cool.

Traveling sucks. And I don't mean going over to the next province or visiting some famous place like Paris or New york. I'm talking about moving overseas and living in, not only a different country, a completely different continent every 5 years. Moving overseas is so stressful, getting used to time zones, going through absolutely paranoid immigration inspections, learning to live with different culture sometimes even another language and finally the worst of all is leaving everyone you know behind and having to start off fresh meeting new people and making new friends... I swear it becomes harder and harder to do that as you get older :'(

I cant be gay cuz i would get beat the fuck up. There is no one like me here and i cant survive without someone to love even a dog or cat would make me happy but no cant have that either. I am alone and sad, i cant shair my emotions with anyone they are not accepted by my room mates. The would just call me names like pussy and fag then disown me OH right that already sorta did that lol minus the names. Why does my family have to be soooo perfect and not one of them be BI or gay something, why do they have to be so homophobic to the point i cant even let them know everything about me because of fear of rejection by my family.

i cant i need the money and the work
Plenty of work in Vancouver.
Try visiting for a week... get in on one of the better temp agencies, like addecco or manpower. You might get a job on the first day, like I did a couple times.
do you make $3400 in 12 days down there? lol i know its my own fault i have thease problems and i am making them for myself but i am a greedy little bunnybear and i wants more money lol
Depends on the job. Unexperienced temp workers tend to get about 400 a week.
I make 170 a week working 20 hours.
On that note. . .
BC's shitty minimum wage! If they could just bump it up to 10 bucks an hour I could afford to move out of my parents hovel! :'(
Do the math: 10 bucks per hour times 20 hours per week equals 200 bucks per week. On average there are four weeks in a month, 4 weeks times 200 bucks equals 800 bucks a month! Can you imagine all the neat things I could do with 800 a month?! :P
: Renwaldo September 09, 2010, 04:51:41 -06:00
Can you imagine all the neat things I could do with 800 a month?! :P
Or you could go on income assistance, or independant living, and make $68 more than that for doing nothing.
Or you could work 40 hours a week, and actually afford to support yourself without your parents.
Average rent these days for a bachelor is $550 and up. In the city of Vancouver, maybe $750 if you're lucky. With roommates you're lucky to be paying $400 or less, and most places will not let you roommate unless you each have your own bedroom.
I don't know how I'd be eligible for any welfare assistance program. I live with my parents, I have a roof over my head, I'm not starving or anything. :P
28 hours is the limit I'm allowed to work in my current position. Rarely do I get shifts anything over 20 hours per week, even my manager's are only allowed 40 hours in shifts per week in their position.
Thanks anyways though. :P
haha you could move up to Fort St John i make 16$ a hour starting hehe sooo ya that is good :D so just move to the ass end of the world and you make money lol

Things to complain about? Hoo boy, I gotta find my list.
How about role-playing game GMs that favour certain players over others, spoil upcoming plots and then get mad if someone reads ahead, try to get serious role-players to metagame once in a while (Don't say that trap only does 16 damage because that does not translate into something the character would understand), retconning their story constantly, changing how skills work on certain tasks (Said knowledge: Dungeoneering was not the right skill for an abberation), changing and upcoming encounter to me more difficult because a player outsmarted them, and wiping out their world to make a new one, thus making it so your characters and accomplishments never happened.
Television show writers that not only make mistakes in their own canon that they wrote, but doing in in a single story arc. People that then defend these writers because they do the same in their stories and claim no one can remember everything. Movies based on comics or novels that change a character's personality or appearance so drastically that essentially it is not that character anymore. People that say "it is just based on the book" when a movie or show totally changes the premise of a story, then complain when it happens to their favorite novel series. Sorry people but poetic license, assuming that is the correct term, only goes so far. When you work in an established story series and continuity already, do some fact checking. There is no excuse for being lazy.
All I can think of for now without going on a complete rant.
I don't know if this bugs anybody else, especially if it actually happens in real-life, but most of you should know about that commercial for that new cellphone plan where that guy and girl are standing outside a movie theater, and the girl's like, "can I use your phone to check my FaceBook?" and the guy said no because he was doing something, but yet she insisted by repeating all the features of the plan, and then he received a phonecall, and it wasn't for him, instead it was for the girl. Yeah, well that commercial kinda disturbs me, considering if that happened to me in real-life, I'd think that it would be rude to give my number to your friends that I probably don't even know and tell them it's okay to call my phone at anytime to talk to you; if I was him, I would have hung up the phone, instead of handing it over, because what she said after was even more dumb, and really rude. It's not polite to use someone like that and then say that they're nobody important when you're using their phone to talk to your friends.

HAHAHAHA THATS AWESOME!!
Everything I ever hear about Facebook is negative.
People use it to embarass other people.
And sometimes with blackmail style pictures, like someone naked at a club.
And Facebook will refuse to remove those pictures even if they are of you, because it's on someone else's name.
When I first heard of Facebook, it was from a crack head.
The second time was when I got emails from Facebook because someone I never wanted to speak to ever again added me. I got 8 other emails from facebook later on because of more people that I never wanted to see again.
Then Facebook automatically created an account for me, so that these friends can leave me messages. I had to go in and delete it so that they'd stop thinking I allowed them to add me.
Everyone that I know who spends all day on facebook was way less boring before they found facebook, and actually did stuff like go camping.
Facebook ruined my sister's relationship.
There's more but this is enough.
Hearing about that single stay at home mom that make's $257 a day, and how the method is proven by some big name news company, and that if i act quick I could be able to do the same too! :birdy:
Felix: I agree with you wholeheartedly that life was a whole lot more interesting before facebook. I hate it, but I feel kind of "locked in" because I have family I would otherwise have no contact with on there, and for new friends, it's a less personal way of getting a hold of someone. Silly, isn't it?
On that note, my complaint for the day:
Wasting time. I always hate doing it, because I would have loved to use the time doing other, more enjoyable things, and yet I feel compelled to waste it and turn my brain off, as if it was some kind of highly defective car that overheated when used for more than a few hours at a time. Or, possibly more like it was an early-days x-box (Red ring of death?). That's what sleep is for! Augh! >:(
I feel better! :birdy:
I have family on it too, and they asked me if I had facebook 3 years after the fact of what I described.
I told them, Fuck facebook, you have my email.
Facebook is a pile of crap and I only have one for now because I was forced to make one for "shits and giggles" and now its there. As soon as I get my life sorted I plan on deleting that dumbbook though
Cold paws. ARRrrrggh!
The rest of my body stays perfectly warm all the time, EXCEPT my paws.
I hate it. I'm wearing three pairs of socks right now =.=
OH YA try living up here where is its like -4 and i have no heating!!!
Lmfao ouch that sucks x33
ya sorta does but thats why i have blankets!!! ;D ;D ;D
I discovered that flying with a cold can sometimes result in your ears clogging up for long periods of time. Like, I flew out of here last Sunday and my left ear stayed pressurized for the next four days, cleared for a few minutes when I was taxiing out of Houston airport heading back here Wednesday, then pressurized again and has been plugged since.
I'm trying a decongestant that a pharmacist recommended, but does anyone else have any ideas on how to unclog a plugged ear? Because if the decongestant doesn't work, I think the next step is going to be ramming a pen through my ear canal. :P

The next time you go on an airplane, do what I did. Wear earplugs or earbuds. The flight attendant, or whatever they want to be called now, kept nagging at me to remove them cause he thought they were plugged in even though I kept showing him the disconnected jack for them. Now for actually popping your ears back, not sure. I actually DO stick a pen cap gently in there to "clean out" anything but that is hazardous. I assume you have tried chewing gum and stuff like that. Also, due to some weird muscle control, I can flex my inner ear to pop it.
I have that same muscle control.
Yawning seems to help for me too, as it uses those same muscles.
me too.
on another note, after two weeks of working itself out, the button finally fell completely out of the most expensive jeans i have ever purchased, and while they were'nt that expensive in comparison to some others, it still brings to my mind the question: "why hasn't this ever happened to any one of the stupidly cheap pairs of jeans i've owned?"
...i suppose they don't owe me anything...they were good while they lasted, and the sales kid was right...they were the most comfortable pair of jeans i've ever had...but i'm never going spend that much on a pair of jeans again. oh well...at least i was nearly fashionable for a second.
maybe ...sew it back on? I've repaired several pairs of ym own ejans over the years ..a few of them being firly expensive
Buttons are really easy to fix. After all, the are the most common thing to break on pants. So your jeans are still good so I hope you did not throw them out.
lol yeah...i could probably fix them, i've never sewn a button like that before though...it was held in with some crazy thread.
Cheaper than getting new pants. Either do it yourself, or get an estimate from a seamstress like at a drycleaner.
I hate persistent coughs, especially when you haven't gotten tons of sleep from cooking fud x.x...

My parents were dead when I was your age. I didn't even have a house to hook the computer up in at that point. Consider yourself lucky.
Jeepers what a downer! :o
I don't want my computer, home and parents to disappear, but being unemployed and unable to go to school is getting unbearably boring now! :-X It was only fun for first two weeks, now the vacation is over and it feels like I'm being institutionalized under a corrupt physician!
In looking for work, I'm somewhat stuck in my own neighbourhood as well. That's another thing I can complain about, until I get my license, my employment opportunities are confined to White Rock and South Surrey. It isn't really worth it to get a job somewhere out of town when I have to pay for public transit, with my education - or lack there of - the only work I can get is for minimum wage or below. :P
I'm saving up for university, but university costs a lot of money. For the next three years at least I'll be making below what is considered a medium income. :-\

i was loooking foreward to making money in a good career.
and I'm pretty anti social, sooooo..
I wholeheartedly disagree with those statements. I would not be where I am today if it was not for getting an education. I was a complete shut in too for the longest time and not the best networker, but I like to think I am pretty good at sucking dick.
women....
Go into the public sector. You'll never make a terribly high income, but you're guaranteed a job with security, benefits, and medium income at least. :P

Graphical rendering, Ethan. I was rendering a series of particle frames, to create flame and seamless smoke particle sprites for the current game project, with Maya. In hindsight, I probably should have just dumped the task to the Core2 machine. That way at least it could have used all four cores on a non-primary workstation, instead of just one on my primary.
Today's peeve? I think I very nearly smashed my tail-bone. Stepped on a stray shard of soap in the tub. Left foot up, ass down, hit the rim of the tub decently hard. Sitting down is a touch uncomfortable at the moment. I suspect I've inflicted a bone bruise on myself. Nothing ibuprofen and time won't fix, however.
Didn't anyone ever tell you? Don't drop the soap!

A lot of people stopped reading after the comic arbitrarily went from a noir comedy to a dramatic horror. :-\

There are far to many things for me to complain about these days, so I tend to refrain from doing so only because sitting around complaining about every little thing accomplishes nothing in the long run.

Have to second that, I've personally seen co-workers injure their backs to the point of not being able to work for months due to improper lifting procedures. Pallet jacks and forklifts are great tools if loads are rigged properly, and if they are available.

the man walks around telling us he's the 'king of hot shit', with his blonde plaything wrapped around his pinky because he keeps her drugged up on cocaine and speed.

I caught a flu walking in the cold wind yesterday for 6km to my first meeting with my potential employers at Safeway. Because I was sick this morning I had to cancel and reschedule my second job interview at Thrifty Foods (last one was for a position in the bakery, this one is for a position in the deli department) which makes me look bad because it is inconvenient for them - they set time aside to meet me. :( I'm feeling much better this evening, but that doesn't help me now. At least they did agree to rescheduling.

I would actually pity you in this situation if you evicted the loser.
What kind of people does your boyfriend associate himself with anyways?
usually good people -
the roommate was very nice in the beginning (and didnt seem like such an idiot) ..
it was just when he got his girlfriend that he started acting this way. :l
on another note. i had to run through sewage water today - a pipe near cambie and broadway burst.
my shoes smell disgusting, gotta wash them. D<
My whole family is miserable and fighting with each other right now, just when things start going well for me. After months of boredom and having no direction I finally get not one but two calls back from two different places offering me work. I'm getting a chance to retake my N drivers license test again, I'll have a much better chance passing it this time. I just got my food safe certification today - which will help me rise up when I do get hired by one of the grocery stores. Things should be going pretty good. Yet my parents are now fighting with each other over the pettyest stupid things, and my spoiled puke of a brother is playing the martyr and egging the both of them on to yell at him and each other some more until somebody starts tossing furniture.
I know this is all rather selfish of me - god only knows what this feud of theirs is actually about. I know it sure as hell isn't about me though given that I'm the only one not yelling or being yelled at. I don't mean to come off as attention seeking, this is just my illogical raw emotion you're reading right now. It just seems like every time I find something nice for myself they hold me back from excelling even farther in my personal betterment. They know on some secret level that I'm a faggot, and a socially withdrawn and awkward misanthrope with a serious case of ADD, who is prone to arbitrarily going in and out of depression. My parents have spent hundreds of dollars on me in medication and psych. visits - and they and I know it. I'm someone who's never had any real goals or motivation to improve upon himself, I don't have skills to offer the world, I've had no desire or knowledge to change that.
Now after a long time (Too long, 4 months) of feeling sorry myself I find a reason to change and the people I love can't even be brought to sincerely tell me they're so much as relieved that I'm not turning into one of our fucked up relatives (A lot of trash in this family) after all!
I wonder how much worse they could possibly think of me I told them I might be one of those perverted freaks from one of those socially excluded internet subcultures, I spend more time sitting on my ass typing on this thing than doing anything else. No offence to any other user on this board, I know for a fact all of you are better than me in that respect, look at my post count if you have doubts.
I'm not suicidal, but I can't help but wonder how much things would really change if I started ingesting things to the point where I bleed my own liver out and starve myself to death on chemicals. I suppose that's still a twisted and wrong way of thinking though?
I apologize for spraying emo wrist blood all over this thread, I realize It's supposed to be light hearted and this really isn't the place to be writing this. If the admins feel this was out of line, I am sorry for posting this, I encourage you delete it. I'll probably be embarrassed for opening myself up to you guys like this by tomorrow morning anyways. I wanted to vent, and my judement is a little clouded by my emotions right now. Run on sentences and whatnot.
I'm sorry I hijacked this thread. This is a ploy for attention, and I'm aware of that.
I can't bring myself to delete it because I need to talk to someone! I'm sorry that turned out to be you guys, most of of whom I have only met once if at all. It seems like so long since I've actually talked to people seriously, I've been accidently burning the bridges of my friends from highschool. They all went to grow up and make something of themselves. I stayed home to play videogames and leach off my parents, something I'm still doing and have done for at least two years now.
I just know I'm going to be ashamed of writing all this tomorrow, but I just can't seem to stop myself.

Sounds like a conversation I would rather have with you in person ...
I wish you were closer ... I would go pick you up right now and hang out.
Turns out a group from roller Skating are heading over here tonite - sounds like you could use some positive 'furry' role models in your life right now.
Listen, your parent (outside influences) are only going to effect you as much as you are willing to let them. If they fight and that effects you, you let it. A good glass of wine / beer / rum/ vodka/ gin / schnapps / whatever ... is a WAY better choice than a whole lot of the alternatives that you are eluding to. If you wanna talk, let me know ...

That's very kind of you, but I can't make it out tonight. Ironically we came back from Surrey Central a couple hours ago, my food safe course was at SFU. :P
I think I've said enough here already. There's really no excuse for me to be so obnoxious and so publically on Rat's nice board. I'm going to give myself a time out in the corner after all this. It does nothing to help the negative stereotype.
I'm really looking forward to seeing you guys again on the 5th. :)

This is precisely why I feel I should be ashamed of myself right now. >.< I whine and bitch and complain about my parents while they cater to my every need of survival as long as I live here.
Do you at least have a plan of where you can go? Even a church or a shelter is better than nothing. I can try and get you in touch with a group if you like.

One furry never allows another furry to go without ... isn't that what we are all about???
hope to fucking god landlord doesnt mind me being late again with rent, all i got to my name right now is 50 bucks that a firend owed me that i had to go to fucking vancouver to get it, now im ognna go turn this into something(s) that i can party/forget with
and somehow this really isnt bothering me that much im pretty much laughing at it, kinda odd......
Well if you do find yourself in a bad place please don't hesitate to ask for help.
I don't know where you live, but I know of a christian group that operates many shelters and rehab centres across the lower mainland. They are religious but they admit anyone who needs help, and of course you wouldn't be required to take part in the religion if you choose not to.
Many of the shelters cater to those with bad addictions, I just feel that you should be warned. They don't allow drinking or smoking on the premises or staying there while inebriated. Some operate more like rehab clinics. There isn't a lot of privacy and there are curfews: doors are locked after a certain hour at night. You will likely end up sharing a room with someone else, some of the places do not even have rooms per bed for sake of security.
The people at these places are very good though, they are very understanding, healthcare staff are usually on site. If you end up on the street they'll be able to get you a warm room and some meals until you can get back on your feet.
I know my complaint really isn't that bad compared to others but here it goes: SOOOO MUCH SNOW!!!!! >_< and also, my stupid job is driving me insane :vik:
All complaints are valid, unless they are invalid.
My 18 month old will not go to sleep. He does not understand what "bedtime" means. Thus, some nights he crashes at 8pm, others not till 10pm or 11pm. Why do kids hate bedtimes so much? (Ignoring the parental hypocrisy there.)

Oh I hear you there! my 20-month old has decided its not bed time unless I'm home to put him to bed. and even then, most nights he doesn't crash until 11, sometimes midnight. >_>;; Just to ad to that, he's been sick all weekend, so he's been sleeping a lot. But only on me. if he's not sleeping on or near me, he just cries and whines. Sometimes he whines even when he is sleeping on me. its a good thing he's just so darn cute when he's whining.
Or I can completely miss the fact that there's another page, and that Jester has already commented on poor baby's fever, XD whoops.
Being overtired from sick kids does that to you. Been there, done that. Hope he gets better soon!

Having 2 hours left in my shift at work and being BORED out of my skull......
My day - reposted if you guys haven't seen it already :)
So I showed up for my retainer enlargement appointment today, ready to be in and out of there in 15.
The doctor, a wizened old Asian guy, ushered me in, and upon examining my progress from the previous month, told me suddenly, "I don't think we are making the progress we're after. The enlargement you were seeing over the past few months has slowed down considerably. We have to be realistic here...maybe I can't help you. We might have to remove some teeth, or proceed with a surgical enlargement of your jaw."
Unhappy with that, I reluctantly told him I was prepared to do whatever had to be done to achieve the final result I was after.
He paused and thought for a moment, rubbing his chin, and nodded.
"Do you trust me?" he said. "On a scale from 1 to 10, I need at least a 7 or an 8 from you."
Now this dude is supposed to be the best guy in western Canada, so I assured him he was at the very least an 8 or 9 on my trust scale.
"Okay let's put in the brackets now" he said, which surprised me, as I wasn't supposed to have them in for a good 6 months or so.
Blindly trusting him, I nodded and he and his assistant started gluing metal brackets to my teeth, curing the glue with some sort of UV light that made my teeth feel like they were burning. When he was done, I relaxed, thinking we were done, but I was wrong.
"Hold on," he said, and he picked up something that looked like a dremel, shoving it into my mouth. The assistant pushed my tongue back with a metal tongue depressor, cranking open my mouth with her hands.
"I just have to slim down your teeth FYI" he said, and turned on the dremel, wedging it between my teeth.
Now what did it feel like? Well, it felt just as you'd imagine flossing with an electric drill would. The agony was incredible - it was like someone jabbing knives into my gums and scraping around in there.
While this was happening I was treated to the sight of bits of my teeth flying out of my mouth and bouncing off his forehead. Each time the dremel made it up to the gumline, for a split second it would start trimming down my gums, which felt fantastic and added a neat red tinge to the spray of tooth fragments.
Halfway through the dremel stopped, and the dentist asked the assistant to go get him another blade, because it was all worn out. The assistant informed him that they had run out, and that was the last one they had. They spent the next few minutes bickering over me over who had forgotten to order a new set of blades, and the dentist eventually switched to a bit half the size as before and continued about twice as slowly.
When he was finished I was covered in sweat, blood, and tooth fragments and I had ripped out the front of the right armrest of the dentist chair.
Soon after it was time to thread that wire through the front of my brackets, which went swimmingly until about halfway through.
The dentist stopped, looked at me, and said something horrible.
"Now you're going to feel a lot of pressure and pain, and there's nothing I can do about it. So hold onto something."
And he was right.
And that's what I spent $4K on today.

Rough wakeups, I hates them:
1) Smeared a big greasy thumb-print over the entire left lens, while trying to don my glasses after my alarm.
2) Recoiled in startlement at the sudden hint of movement in front of my groggy head, from smearing them, knocking my glasses off my face and into the yucca cane plant six feet below. Thus smearing them with potting soil.
3) Smacked my head on the ceiling, getting up and leaning over trying to figure out just where I'd knocked my eyeballs off to. Stupid loft bed.
4) Realized just now that I've only slept 3-4 hours.
Bah. Now I have to wander across town (From Guildford to the far end of Broadway) at the tail end of rush hour, sleepy out of my mind, and caffeine-free. Color me a grumpy lump of ferret fluff. Oh. And I have no crunchy happy sourdough toast or any precooked bacon left in the fridge. Nrgh. I am going to be 'tooning this moment of angry-ferret bottlebrush tail for posterity, later. >:(

Today's complaint: Peppers. I hate them. Yet every Italian and Mediterranean restaurant insists on putting them in everything. I like Italian and Mediterranean food, I don't like peppers though.

Dude, we live in the wasteland of info-tech. Cellphones also lag far behind the 3rd world. We're right next door to a country where you can get an iPhone with unlimited talk, text and data... WORLDWIDE for 99.99$ a month... and we still fuss over my5. In fact, their networks are so good, they overpower Canadian networks in parts of Victoria (on the beach at Mile 0, you're in America bitch!). Baseball stadiums in the states have free wi-fi too, so you can stat crunch while sitting in the bleachers.
Its not because we CAN'T do these things... its because Rogers and Bell like biiiig piles of money to sleep on.

Sure, I know it's a little late to post something about a movie that went out on DVD some months ago, but I DON'T GIVE A FU- but that question applies, and therefore am curious of why he's still making crappy movies. He and Uwe Boll should be permanently banned from directing movies, because they ruin everything that we love growing up. Oh, and get rid of those live-action movies based on cartoons we loved as kids, they all suck too! Sure, it's because they want money and all... and hell, money is a nice thing to have.
Another thing that grinds my gears is when banks call you asking for a survey as to how you feel as a customer for the service they provide, and when you say you're not interested, they insist on it, willing to go out of their boundaries to push that BS on you... that is, until you threaten to complain to another service. I got a call like that from Vancity some days ago, and rescheduled to call again another day. They haven't called back since. Guess my coercion to call the cops on them must've worked.
Oh, and Happy Pi Day, everyone. :3
Anyone who calls themself 'Night'... I gotta wonder about. I liked 'Unbreakable' and 'The Village' though. And as my acting/producing cousin says: "Theres no such thing as a bad action movie. When its good, its great and when its bad, its hilarious." Nostalgia can do funny things to people.
And I know we live in a rainforest... but frack this rain!
the transit bus to aldergrove from abby didnt run yesterday so iom still here, fack!
and i dislocated my shooulder lonmgboarding on glen mountain
I can only assume that the m night rant was because of the last airbender. I cried when I watched that movie, :/it had so much potential. I think the biggest mistake they made was letting the f*cker write it too. If they'd had a decent writer on it, it might have turned out alright. Thankfully, it didn't gross enough for them to go on with their plans of making sequels, :D which means books two and three will remain awesome. He could've at LEAST gotten the giant CGI fish monster at the end.
Anyway, my rant was actually supposed to be about that dumb skittles commercial. The one with the tree growing out of the guy's stomach? Makes me physically ill every time it comes on. This is what commercialism, capitalist crap does to people. Ugh. Anyone know of a complaint line I can call and let them know how I feel about it? cuz that would make me feel a little better I think.
Carpal tunnel. I reached around to scratch my back earlier, and now my entire forearm is a mass of screaming red-hot nerve endings. Ibuprofen. I dine on it. >:(

Sour cream mixed into mac 'n cheese is awesome. Sour cream that has a green, white black and blue beard of mold on it, is not awesome. It's nausea inducing. So is the sight of a ruined batch of mac and cheese now. Look before you dump the remnants of the tub, boys and girls. :-X

Ick.
I eat moldy cheese all the time, Ren.
same with "spoiled" milk.
and sometimes I'll leave cream out overnight so it'll get thick and sour.. then I'll put sugar in it.. and put it on my desserts..
and y'know what?
it's TASTY!
but it's all about perspective :b
Oh jeeze, I thought he was talking about milk from things other than cows. >.<
My complaint: My feet hurt. I've been walking to and from work every day for the past week, and at work I'm standing up or running all over the store excluding a 30 minute break.
you mean like.. goat milk? And technically cow milk IS furry milk, in that sense. Breast milk would be non-furry milk.

maybe tomorrow.. or something..
Well i don't drink, or smoke... cigarettes.
What precisely are you complaining about, then?
Relevant to thread: Comedy of Errors soup for dinner. Try to dump can of diced tomatoes into soup? Can lid falls off, sinks to bottom of 8 quarts of boiling soup. Try to add a small amount of wine vinegar (It's a batch of shchi; It's supposed to be a wee bit sour)? Flow regulator cap fails to work. Half a bottle of vinegar is now in the soup. Oddly, Orka ate three bowls of the stuff, so I must have done something right otherwise.
i have to complain about something, selkit please don't act like you are police :police: of all threads, it gets frustrating very fast. do you check every post made on the whole site for stuff like that? i liked the talk we had about aspies, but i just get a bit irritated by this. TY i hope we can be super mega awesome ultra friends from outer space :hug: :D :D.

Technically a human is covered in "fur" because it's a mammal. And therefor makes human breast milk furry milk.

My complaint: Bored on St Patricks day
My complaint: People are getting hammered to celebrate the genocide and forced conversion of traditional Irish culture. Its the celebration of a great loss of consciousness with a great loss of consciousness.
What about people putting their kid out into the night to nkock on strangers houses for candy to cellebrate a pegan ritual? any better
Yes, because St Patrick's day is (technically, originally, blah blah blah) a Christian celebration of St Patrick chasing all the snakes out of ireland. it's entirely metaphorical however, as St Patrick actually converted all the druids of Ireland to Catholisism. And those who didn't convert.. well, you know. They were brutally murdered. From a pagan/Druid's point of view, I suppose it would be similar to celebrating Remembrance day by smoking opium or something.
Where as Halloween... Well, really, has very little to do with the original pagan holiday of Samhain, which is a celebration, by the way, not a ritual. And besides, who doesn't love free candy?
On *that* note, how about the extreme commercialism and fat man in a red suit distributing gifts to children he deems to be nice, and giving the rest of the little bastards coal, to celebrate yet another pagan holiday. That's right, Jesus (probably) wasn't born on December 25th. It's originally a pagan celebration of the winter solstice, also known as Yule. That's also where Christmas trees came from. Christianity adopted the holiday as the birth of Christ to aid in the conversion of druids and other pagans to Christianity.
At the very least, Halloween is in some way preserving some of the culture that Christianity has tried so desperately to wipe out.
/rant
My complaint: it's 2 in the fucking morning and my toddler is still WIDE AWAKE. >_<
Correct, All Hallows Eve is celebrated in many cultures to commemorate the spirits of the dead and doesn't necessarily have its roots in "paganism," unless you take paganism to mean "blanket non-Christian."
Remembrance Day has nothing to do with religion, and I'm sure many of those Vets are taking some sort of synthetic opium derivative at this point (codeine anyone).
A better analogy would be to say its like getting kids to celebrate a pagan holiday by decorating trees with lights and putting gifts under them...
no, i meant st paddy's day is to Irish culture what remembrance day is to us. I was using Christmas more as a comparison to his halloween thing
: Foxxphyre March 18, 2011, 02:59:44 -06:00
decorating trees with lights and putting gifts under them...
Well i cellebrate that day as the birth of our massiah, we don't know the exact day that Jesus was born so i make due with Xmas day to cellebrate it, and the gifts are related to the gifts the wise men gave Jesus when he was born. the tree, lights, santa, milk and cookies, frosty the snowman, and jinglebells can suck it!
This is not the place for discussing the origins of holidays nor is it the place to share why you celebrate a holiday either. It's the complaints thread. So unless you have a complaint to contribute I would advise you all to maybe start a thread to discuss these things.

Two-fer:
Woke up in a fit of nausea and disorientation. Slipped a rung on the ladder on the way down, barked the hell out of my shins. Rather lucky I didn't fracture them instead, but it feels like I've got a lovely bone bruise. So now I'm nauseated, uncomfortable, and bruised. Whee.
If I got coal for Xmas, I could get alot of money from it, and it can be turned into a diamond.
My complaint: People making Christianity (Or its brotherin religions) sound like it applies to everyone (Including me). I'm Wiccan. I dumped the Catholic religion after confirmation.
: Wrath March 18, 2011, 06:16:11 -06:00

Yeah, but the diamond process takes a LOOONG time, unless you go for zirconia, which isn't technically real diamond.
Also, being lumped as a christian does indeed suck.
My complaint: inconsiderate skytrain passengers. Just because you *think* there is a way to calm down every screaming child that happens to be in public, doesn't mean it's true. Yes, it's annoying, and that poor parent who CAN HEAR YOU has enough on their plate trying to calm down their child in the first place. Sometimes babies and toddlers just cry, and there's not much that can be done about it. Especially if it's something that can't be done while standing on public transit, like changing their diaper that they just soiled minutes ago, or breastfeeding because they're hungry and aren't on to more solid foods yet. And you stupid security guards who use the chairs in the handicapped zone where strollers fit, at the very least use them FOR YOURSELVES and put your goddamn bag on the fucking floor. Because I really could have used that seat you ass wipe. But no, your bag needs it more than the 5 1/2 month pregnant lady who's obviously having trouble standing with a screaming writhing toddler.

Complaint: That the underlying assumption you have to have to be a Christian is that the 'our' applies to non-believers too. Please use 'my.'
I can't view my paystub because the company hasn't got the software to view them online yet, and they stopped giving out paper ones just recently. Furthermore the bank doesn't recognize my password because I haven't checked my account online for such a long time, so I got to call them in the morning to get a new one and ask my manager when we'll be able to see our paystubs.

Fuck, I just took the wrong pill right before bed. Now I'm gonna be up all night, and I have to work in the morning! I keep my morning pills rigth beside my bedtime pills, tonight I grabbed the wrong container. >_<
I'm hoping I can cancel it out with an overdose of the melatonin, I just hope it doesn't make me sleep in.
oh yes that sounds like a great idea... take the wrong pills, so cancel them out with more pills
thats totally not how people OD at all, nope.
well good luck, don't die plz.

I always wondered what would happen if you take the red pill and the blue pill at the same time... let me know, kk?
Complaint: Theres nothing on TV... yay for the internet!
Taking an overdose of melatonin will not help you sleep, Ren; If anything, it will have the opposite effect, or perhaps even induce hallucinations. If you have taken more than 20 milligrams, you should seek medical advice. If you've simply mixed melatonin and caffeine? You will be fine, though your dreams are going to be very, very strange.
Grumpy complaint:
I am still heavily nauseated, and I have vomited several times today. Stay away, people; The ferret has plague.
It's a red pill and three white ones, not blue.
As far as melatonin goes, worse case scenerio it knocks me out for longer than I would like. My brother once took six of them and slept for 15 hours. He was fine when he finally woke up.
My doctor assures me that the melatonin is harmless, it's a natural chemical that our brains are supposed to produce when we're in a deep sleep. The pills just get you to that stage of sleep faster. If they reacted negatively to my other meds, or if there were more negative side effects I wouldn't be taking them at all.
He has told me that even if I were to swallow a whole container - hypothetical situation - I'd be out for a long time, but it wouldn't harm me in any significant way.
Usually I'm very careful, but I can't afford to screw up this job so quickly after being hired.
If it makes you feel any better I think my morning pills are winning over.
My complaint still stands: I can't sleep.
Just pull the all-nighter and hope for a second wind around break time... everyones zombie in the morning anyhow.
Complaint: Not enough zombies...
Complaint: Life sucks. I don't care if you don't like it when people say it as said above. I don't find it worth living. But I care too much about hurting people that I love, so I stay alive to keep them happy and make their lives worthwhile. And I am also afraid of pain. If I'm gonna die, it has to be quick and painless. One of my biggest reasons why I haven't tried killing myself many years ago.
I just 'woke' up up after not sleeping at all last night. I'll probably bitch about this again this evening.
Still highly nauseated. Slept the rest of the night on the couch after vomiting on my sheets. Yeah, TMI, I know. By the power of Greyskull-- er, Gravol, I am up and functional again. Sort of.

Working all week with a really bad head cold. :-X
All the forum drama and arguments! :P
Nobody but me cleans the house. I just finished again. I find it quite ironic though, since at my last place, my roommate was a major clean freak. I basically was only renting a room from her so I tidied up after myself in the kitchen and bathroom, but didn't do much else... I wasn't really allowed (well, I didn't feel welcome) anywhere but my room... and man did she bitch and complain that I never helped. Now I sort of feel like her... I want to bitch at my roommates, but I don't want to be a nag. XD

5 hours after I cleaned the house... I woke up from my nap to discover that not only were the dishes in the dishwasher not put away, but the sink was full of new dirty dishes, the stove top had ... stuff cooked onto it and the counter had crumbs, melted peanut butter, mouldy bread and an electric shaver (not capped) charging up using the electrical outlet.
So I cleaned it all again.

O_o who do you live with? and why are you cleaning up their mess?
complaint: limitless ended sorta in the middle of the story
: Sevrin March 20, 2011, 02:22:25 -06:00O_o who do you live with? and why are you cleaning up their mess?
Two roommates. They are siblings and younger than me (I am 28, they are 21 and 19)... and if I don't do it, it doesn't get done... and I am now at the stage I think, that I want things clean. At least, my last roommate drilled that into me. Though, the male roommate does do dishes now and then, but not often enough.
They thank me for doing it, but I would prefer if they helped. I might have to just talk to them about it. I hate confrontation, but leaving notes is kind of juvenile.

even with 9 hours of sleep i'm still tired
Just cleaned the kitchen and did all the dishes yet again. Had to put a note on the counter where one roommate (the one that NEVER cleans) keeps stacking up recyclables to not leave them there anymore... They go out on the back porch, the door is RIGHT BESIDE THE COUNTER, how hard is it to chuck them out there? Honestly. The other roommate gets a few points for putting a load through the dishwasher, but yet again, I put it all away.
Time for alcohol. *drinks a vodka cooler*
Ironically, my last roommate was a super-mega-clean-freak and missing a few crumbs or a hair pissed her off. So much that she told my new landlady that I am a slob and never clean up after myself... so part of the deal about moving in here, was to disclose everything about how I used to be (mini-hoarder) to the new roommates... but they are worse than I am.
rude people. Stupid rude people who comment on things they know nothing about, just to make themselves look/feel good. Bunch of idiots.
Baught a big bottle of Sunny D thinking at was orange juice but realizing it was sugar water.
My teeth feel slimy and the top of my mouth hurts.
Its supposed to be Sunny D and rum! theres a music video about that :) ... :( my throat hurts like crazy.
I just dragged myself in after a week of being on the road for work, and my toilet has decided it doesn't want to work properly, and I'm not sure if it qualifies as enough of an emergency for the very uncaring after-hours service for my building to have someone come out for it. =/
Ren's had a bad day.
Firstly, at work this morning he let the line up get too long at his till because he wasn't paying attention. Once the line gets past four people we're supposed to page somebody to open up another till, today I was so absorbed in punching the right plu codes for a whole crapload of produce in a timely manner that I didn't notice the line. A bunch of people were pissed off for having to wait and I recieved a very stern talking to from my manager. My pay could get docked and I't's likely I'm going to lose some hours. :-\
Secondly the dog started throwing up around noon today and didn't stop. We couldn't even get him to keep water down. My mom had to rush him out to Delta and because she had the car I missed out going to Gizmo's tonight.
*hugs* I hope your dog's okay, :(
But you should know they can't dock your pay for something like that. so you'll be okay there, :)

a certain fur's cat having certain medical problems and not using the litter box, and certain fur not being around to clean up after it. Or not being here to clean its litter box for that matter. Which may contribute to the cat not using it. >_> seriously. It is not nice to be innocently reading your webcomic just to be interrupted by a LOVELY smell of fresh cat diarrhea and then spending the next half hour or so trying to find the little present. Or spending 80% of every day trying to get the smell of random cat presents out of the apartment. >_> Guess who's paying for the carpet cleaner at the end of the lease?
Also, fucking carpenters not knowing how to put on a fucking door. It's a DOOR, retard. It's not that hard. I can put a door on better than these people, evidently, as I DID. Also there's a leak in the bathroom of the apartment above ours, which is new, because it didn't do that BEFORE they had carpenters in there all of last month (February) "renovating". So now the drywall above the bathtub has to be redone, because it's moldy. How do I know this? I poked the ceiling, and there's now a hole in it. it's not very big, but there's a shitload of either mold, or sand in there. Because of the location of the leak, I'm willing to bet they'll have to take down the wall behind the shower head too and redo the drywall there. To do it properly anyway. But I'm also willing to bet they won't because landlords are CHEAP. ASSHOLES. >_<

Emofox was generalizing about Building Managers in general ... Some of us actually do work and care about the safety and cleanliness of the home tenants live in ...
nonono, not building managers in general; landlords. Usually the owners. I tend to think that the corporation that owns the building is the one ultimately ordering the corner cutting. The fact that I know more about the RTA than our building manager does is mostly irrelevant in this particular rant.
In all honesty I've only ever dealt with one landlord that I liked and that didn't screw me over on anything. Unfortunately I left that apartment on bad terms because I'd lost my job a month beforehand and owed her at least a month of rent. :/ But the fact that she'd let me stay there for that month before we actually agreed on an eviction goes to show what kind of person she was; absolutely awesome. I still feel bad about that entire situation.

I'm far enough out of it on painkillers at the moment that I feel like I've had half a night's drinks at too quick a pace. The room's spinning, I feel nauseated, and worse, of course, I'm caffeine crashing because I drank a fair amount of coffee to try and counteract the meds. As a result, I'm currently riding a roller coaster of the groggies with a side order of caffeine tweaks. Joy! I get to find out tomorrow just what I did to myself (Alas, I don't have a dental mirror or any equivalent to take a look myself, beyond seeing in the mirror with my jaw yawning that the gum line on that side is swollen badly).

Furious weasel is furious.
Trying to watch YouTube content. Connection is so ridiculously slow it's not even funny. 240p videos are buffering slower than playback, indicative of a serious bandwidth problem. So I start doing appropriate technical diagnosis. Network congestion? Nope. Route analysis is clean and clear. Ping's excellent. It's a raw bandwidth issue. Next test, a clean straight-shot connection from system to provider. Same result. Rules out a router getting persnickety from age or heat. Averaging 0.4-0.5 mbit down, at best. I'm paying for 30. After a few hours of that, decided I was less than impressed (And it was getting worse). Nothing to do with the usual evening congestion; It's never even a tenth that bad. At worst it knocks it down to 20 mb from 30. So I call TekSavvy. I have never had good luck with their support department (On the 3 problem-occasions and eight or nine actual calls I've called them, I've sat as "1st in queue" for an average of one hour. Or more). This was one of those occasions. My issue started around 10 PM with a call to their support department. I was unhelpfully told to do exactly what I had done prior (Router removal from the loop for clean troubleshooting + a modem reset). Informed the tech that I would have to hang up, as I'm on VOIP. Instructed him that I would call back once I was through troubleshooting, and had reacquired a connection through the hub already connected to the phone, without the router (The phone has to be reset when networking configuration changes). Cue up DNS failing to issue an IP for more than an hour on a package that's supposed to include two IPs (Ergo, the phone and the one system connected *should* have gotten a DNS issued address without issue). Three modem resets later and another spate of diagnostics, I confirmed the problem was DNS.
Then the real fun began. I restored my usual network configuration, checked I was online, and I was. Same issue, still slower than a frozen lump of crap rolling uphill. Phoned tech support again. Waited. Waited. Waited. First in line. Again. I've begun to really, really dread hearing that from TekSavvy. It usually means I spend half an hour or more listening to a cheery voice tell me I'm first in the queue while abysmally low bitrate muzak pipes in. By about the half hour mark of "First in line", I was ready to throw the phone out the window. So I hung up, and tried again. And again. Two half-hour waits later as "first in line", I gave up, called their DSL support queue instead, and got an answer before the cheery voice had a chance to tell me I'm first in line for a blood-boiling, patience-trying wait. Note that this is the third consecutive technical issue I have had exactly the same problem with their phone support on; "First in line" and "Yeah, fuck you, we'll answer if and when we feel like it". The last time I attempted to take advantage of their "Leave a message and we'll call you back" service? I got called back. Promptly. Three days and an hour or so later. Two days and change after the issue worked itself out through a fix I found on Broadband Reports after much Googling.
Here's the real kicker.
They wasted three hours of my time, an hour and a half of which was spent as "First in line" on an empty phone queue with a lazy arse-hat not doing their job on the other end. The solution? All they would have had to say is "Yeah, we didn't anticipate demand for our services and are trying to run 170 customers on a single 100 mbit card". Yes, you read that right. Three hours of time wasted, by two different techs, an hour and a half on hold as "First in line", when a new post popped up on Broadband Reports actually explaining the situation. Yeah. That's 0 for 2, TekSavvy Support; Twice now that a third party forum's had information a hired technician could not provide, that the techs should have been aware of in the first place. Y'know, an important little nagging detail like "Management oversold the service and didn't adjust infrastructure accordingly, so things are a tad bit slow until we catch up on infrastructure".
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUU--
Stay the hell away from TekSavvy until they sort their ass from their teakettle. As for me, I get to deal with having about 3-4% of the connection I'm paying for, until they sort their mess out. Yes, I paid twice as much with Shaw. But at least I got the bloody advertised bit-rate with them, not 3-4% with amazing communicative incompetence.
When you've seen the same doggy fursuit in a news story for "wearing pink" anti-bullying day for 12+ times in a day for a rehearsal for a TV/Journalism Practicum, you almost kind of get tired of the fandom.

YuGiOh abridged is a comedy spoof of YuGiOh on the internet, and its not been released on VHS or DVD or BluRay yet. the maker takes the show and take out the voices, he then edits the lip movements to matchs a script he writes and voices, he then adds music and BOOM spoof. Quotes from the show include "Attention duelists! my hair is assaulting you" "Screw the rules i have money!" or "CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!"
I was offered a better job. This is not normally something to complain about. However, here's why I am complaining (And I can't take it, alas)
- It's in the ass end of Richmond. I live in north Surrey. I don't drive.
- I don't have steeltoes (Gave my pair to Orka; Brand new, never needed)
- No hard-hat, no reason to own one.
- No fall-arrest rigging harness.

Ooooh...I misunderstood, that kind of stuff reminds me of YouTube poop
which is sort of similar, but the maker takes their editing to a level that's considerably
ridiculous and funny at the same time...an example would be the editor would take a
storyline from movies or cartoons and configuring it by adding small parts of other movies or videos to add to the comedy of the story.
But if that's the case I should look up that shit XD

Even if I had the gear (I'd still lack the boots, and a pair of steeltoes is $80. $120 for a pair that won't chew your ankles to shit after four hours), time constraints make it a moot point. The commute's easily 2, 2-1/2 hours in length, transit only starts running at 5:40 AM, and jobsites mandate a 6 AM start time, as a rule. All the more reason why I'm peeved about it; The pay's pretty damn good for what the work actually is. Grumph...

Arising in the very early morning to sit in a temp office several hours to be told there's no work. Really does nothing to help my mood.
2 weeks to go before the first game of AD&D 2nd Edition and I am still inspired enough to start on the adventure. :/
i have nothing to b*ch about ...
everything went better than expected :)
Internet's out. Has been out since Wednesday morning. Phone's been out with it. Technician won't be by until Saturday morning.

Thank goodness for Rex, Trapa, and a borrowed wireless access point with an antenna tied to the balcony railing with hemp twine. No password-required access for me without SSH, however, until I'm back on my own line.

There's a Ross about 3 blocks from the hotel and convention center so I decided to make a quick stop to go look for some possible cosplay clothes. Sadly to my dissapointment, they didn't have anything what I was looking for. I was hoping to find either a blue/peach striped blazer or a mid-brown one, or even at the least, a red hoodie and possibly, with enough money a black mini skirt with some stockings. Nothing.... So dissapointing... :l I don't think I'm ever going to shop at Ross again if I ever go down to the states...
There are no bloody furry events here around ladysmith :(
the only one i know of is one im hosting!!!!
Every year this f-ing rabbit breaks into my house and sh-ts eggs and chocolates ALL over! Not just in easy spots either, but in OBSCURE and hard to find places! Then he leaves, leaving my kids to have to search for HOURS to get wound up on chocolate and destroy my house FIRST THING on a f-ing Sunday morning!
>:(
Why can't that hippity-hoppity a-hole show up at NOON or something??
^ i lol'd.
I made cookies last night. And despite following the recipe EXACTLY, they ended up with too much butter, so they didn't look very cookie-like. Tasted good though.
I've been sick, so I haven't been taking as good of care of the kitchen as I normally do. I don't feel well and I don't think I should be touching clean dishes... so I have been loading the dishwasher, but not handwashing dishes. I haven't really been cooking anyway.
My female roommate NEVER cleans up after herself. Just a few minutes ago while I was cutting up my chicken and coating them to make chicken strips, she came into the kitchen and started rummaging around for a pot to make Kraft Dinner in. Instead of cleaning one of the five pots she has made dirty and that are in the sink, she complained that the "kitchen is confusing" until she found the last clean pot. She won't even fill it with hot water when she is done with it... she will just leave it with cheese goo all over it to dry on the stove top like all the others. At least her brother put away the dishwasher dishes that I just put through the cycle.
And here my landlady was concerned that I would be the slob.
EmoFox told me that the old '73 film version of Jesus Christ Superstar - one of my favorite movies - would be on at 9 today. I've been waiting all day to watch it but it turns out it's on the Assisted Chanel, so it's got described viewing for the blind. Now I can't watch it without the announcer describing every scene or action the characters make, which ruins the movie for me. ><
rushing to finish my banner project which i put off for a week because of personal interests.
it'll probably be uncolored considering the time i have left.
bleh.

Housing tenants who aren't respectful.
Not only it pisses me off but it's also not
fair that I can't enjoy my own home without
living up to someone elses standards, who don't even
respect or care about yours.
(an example would be the anonymous usage of the bathroom
or the number of hours just watching tv all day)
Sometimes I just want to shoot myself
in the face with a shot gun because of it.

I believe I've broken a toe, or badly torqued the joint, one of the two. Climbed out of bed, my usual loft-bed. Ladder to near the ceiling, basically. Slipped on a ladder rung, owing to a sock I'd left draped over it carelessly. Foot slammed down on the next rung, toe adjacent to my big toe bent backwards. Perhaps a bit too far, and amidst a lovely, white-hot burst of pain, I heard something -crack- audibly. Now, I can't put any kind of pressure on it, and walking is quite painful at the moment.

My landlady said she would do a dump run for me... but then backed out yesterday by sending her friend to come by the house to pick up the rent so she didn't have to come. So I had to find some guy on Craigslist that would take it for me and I had to pay him $40.

Depending on the movie on the plate, I would totally be game to go with someone ! I hate going to the movies alone!!! Gotta love that popcorn!!!!
I don't go to the movies... 'cause the seats here are too small for my big butt. I prefer watching them at home anyway. I have a pause button. :)
I don't go to movies no more because it's expensive
where I live, it's probably twelve or thirteen bucks for
an adult...still I can't put my finger on that.
Fekkin' ladybugs. They're awesome for eating aphids. They're awesome because they're cute. They're amusing when they're bonking into the fan light (Though I usually have to rescue them and put them back outside).

on the movies front; my parents own an independant movie theatre... with the best theatre popcorn in BC, ;) so NYAH!
As for complaining; I have SPD, :( and some jackass busdriver decided it be would funny to make the 7 month pregnant lady run for the bus. Standing up, laying down, and just general movement of my hips/pelvis has never hurt so mcuh, :'( I'm amazed I got any sleep last night.
Excuse me? that's my MOM tyvm. It's also the only movie theatre in 100 mile house. wtf is your problem?
Or, more to the point, you can keep paying $30-$40 to see a movie and enjoy your popcorn/drink/candy at the cineplex theatres. And I will continue getting in to pretty much any theatre for free, because my Mom owns and runs an "ew" independant theatre.
chew on that.

Anyway, complaining. I posted on another forum a thing about weed and why I think it should be legalized, with this long list of links to studies and things proving every claim I made, but everyone was all "nooo recreational use is baaad!" so I asked them to post reasons why, and back it up with the same research I'd given them. One guy posts a link to a drug rehab website in the states, quoting a bunch of stuff that I'd already disproven in the links I'd posted earlier. >:/ Frustrating. Also, one of the mods closed the thread because he didn't understand what I was saying when I said "technically there's nothing regulating pot right now, because the laws were struck down as unconstitutional." refering to the recent court case in April. Bah. close minded people are irritating.

Maybe I'm weird, but I really hate the yuppie image that Vancouver apparently has. I read a hockey related article, about how the rest of Canada doesn't see the Canucks as a Canadian team, because Vancouver isn't Canadian enough for them. What? Really? wtf. And then it went into how no one in Vancouver was born/raised in Canada, and everyone here is a bunch of shallow yuppies. =.= I've never even been OUT of Canada. (and coincidentally have never wanted so BADLY to be out of Canada). I wouldn't call myself a shallow yuppie either. I don't have the sense of style to be a yuppie, least of all a shallow one. Bastards. So much for Canadians being friendly.

Doctor called back about my yearly cancer screening. Wants me to come in and discuss the results ASAP. This is rather different from the usual phone-call of "All clear, see you next year". I've lost three family members to cancer in the past two years. I've lost five total in the past decade, all to the same cause. I've survived a near brush with it in my younger years. Fingers crossed for a continued run of good luck, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not slightly terrified at the moment.

I know something is seriously wrong when my hearing specalist and the local medical clinic had a rather urgent tone with me over the phone thursday. That and I got a MRI booked for the 21st the same day. I'm a bit worried, could be a number of things, many of them leading to surgery. :S
lots of health related worries these days, :\ wishing you all good luck with your health scares.
my complaint in much lighter. Damn greedy bastards charging $50+ for a $20 game. I don't care HOW "rare" it supposedly is, it's NOT worth $100, especially not when it's used! fuckers.
Luckily at least your hearing specialist took an urgent tone, not a high pitched one.

I'll second that as a personal peeve, Hunny. Constant unnecessary verbal noise drives me up the damn wall. Half the reason why I moved my desk into my bedroom and under the loft bed; I won't begrudge Orka his MMO habits, but he gets goddamn loud on voice chat, and I can't focus on art worth a damn when he's shouting "SHATTERSHATTER NOW NOW NOW" for the five hundredth time in a day. Happier for everyone involved this way, which brings me to my related peeve:
What is the goddamn point of sports parents shouting instructions at the top of their lungs from the sidelines at their children? Seriously. Let your kid play their damn game on their own without me having to listen to you shouting unintelligible instructions across the field (and by proxy at the neighbouring 22 story residential building at 9:30 at night).

for the legs it costs around 400$ per session and you need to do 3 session for best results. I assume facial hair removal would be cheaper though.

I mean, what are the chances that you were ever loud as a kid? Naw, I'm sure you were a good boy. Never making a peep at the ungodly hour of.... 9:30pm.
Hell, we could ban music and dancing too :o and then get rid of drinking to top that off. Then for sure you wouldn't be bothered in a way that could easily be fixed by wearing earplugs on game nights.

My shoulder surgery was apparently successful, but I've been stuck in a sling for two weeks and still have another four weeks to go.
Carthage I hope that your recovery goes well, and finally fixes the issues that you've been having with your arm. I remember the night I had to help you relocate your shoulder.
So tired but I can't sleep :v
Withdrawal fucking sucks, but there's one question that's driving me mad.
How do I pass the time waiting for the bus? ???
Did a "trial" work day with a bistro, they haven't called back two days after they said they would, even called them and still got no answer. Food service industry is shit anywho.
What bistro Drake?
I went to the walk-in clinic today and the doctor told me that the burn I have on my leg IS infected, so I have to take a course of Novo-Cloxin... four times a day on an empty stomach until the pills are gone. At least I already hardly eat so it shouldn't be too hard. My burn hurts! (pics if you are curious (http://zenia.unixdaemons.com/temp/burn/))
Trial work-days without pay are not legal, Drake.
I hate it when people don't give you your space,
like being "over-questioned", or repeat the thing they said
a week ago. Look I know I like being around people, but some
people I can't touch with a 20 ft pole.
I'm speechless after seeing a dead wolf-dog on CTV. There was no consideration for it's perspective whatsoever...
Edit: Now Global's showing the dead wolf-dog. I'm just stunned that this person has the guts to show off his kill as a media release.
Edit #2: My rant about it in a FA Journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2382543/ (http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2382543/)
Furries are trashy people.
Seriously. They are inconsiderate, obnoxious, juvenile, and - dare I say it - stupid when it comes to social common sense. Not all of them take enough consideration in their appearance to even bathe before going out in public for godsakes!
It's no wonder we spend so little time out in public together as a group given how few of us are really able to do so appropriately.

Great quote, except one thing, aren't you one yourself?
[gmod]This looks like it might be going it a bad direction. General rants and constructive feedback are fine.

Renwaldo, welcome to the joys of open invite furry events.
Such events are a draw to the people who are not often able to go out and socialize comfortably. Thus they often have a high percentage of people who lack some basic social skills. The events can be useful as a training program for these people, and indeed they used to fill this role well.
Unfortunately, as the community grew larger, the percentage of people like this began to eclipse the percentage of furs who have these skills. This causes the already social people to stop going to these events, making the problem even worse.
To anyone who suffers the problem of being swamped by socially stunted furs at open invite events: Find yourself one of the many groups of furs who are a little more 'off the grid'. As a hint, most of them don't read/post on this forum.
There's a lot of social stuff still going on in furry here, it's just that most of it doesn't get announced to the general population anymore.
I'd like to see more responsibility taken by the organizers of events in this regard. (I'm not pointing this at anyone, I don't even know what event sparked this conversation)
I don't think it's neccesary or very fair for the community to have to fragment off in order for people to have a good time. Hygiene/behaviour problems can happen in any group of people (yes, moreso in furries than average) - I've seen it happen in university study groups and between work buddies.
Event organizers should
- know the public behavior/hygiene standard
- identify people attending meets who do not meet this standard
- be prepared to speak to these people (nicely!) about their problem
- be prepared to ask them to leave if neccesary
These are the standards I've held when organizing my own events, I believe they are fair and have had no complaints so far from attendees. As an occasional event organizer, I've had to accept that I can't be friends with everyone and sometimes I've had to be firm with people who are causing problems, and even ask them to leave.
In short, if you plan it, you need to be responsible for it.
I've long held the view that furries need to be -less- nice to one another. Need to be less accepting. The thing is, assholes point out the things that everyone else is too nice to say. But they do get their point across.
It's very easy for us all to blame the behaviour of some people as having a caustic influence, but if you're being complacent and accepting of the behaviour, aren't you at least a little to blame for it going on?
The veterans know this already, but this issue right here is largely the reason that the local community has splintered. A very large number of people got sick of dealing with an admittedly small percentage of the community.
This community has a great deal of very awesome people in it, but being nice to the small number of people that no one wants around is ultimately damaging to all of us.

Just curious... who was that pointed too? o 3o
It was pointed to "Furries are trashy people." It hadn't gone over the line yet, but it seemed to be going in that direction.
There is a big difference between pulling someone aside (or catching them on their own) and saying "I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but you are having a bit of a hygiene issue at the moment, you have to take care of it or I am afraid you have to leave." and "Dude, you reek! Go home take a shower!" I've had the problem once or twice and while both ways are still totally embarrassing (especially if you are unaware of the problem), the first one is far better.
I have only been to one meet, but I wouldn't want to miss out on one I may have wanted to go to because it was secret and I wasn't invited, being still newish to the community.

Same with any other group of people. If I am throwing an event at my place, why would I want random people who no one knows showing up? It's not standard for people to invite strangers into their house, and I don't understand why the hell furries think that this should be the case.
If you're newish, the responsibility is on YOU to meet people and get to know people. If you can't do this, then yes you fail and you don't get to be invited to things.
I find it a little sad that I got a larger reaction from using insults than from constructive criticism. Perhaps I ought to have utilized a little more tact and worded that differently. I'm sorry I called some of you trashy, not quite sorry enough to delete that post. Some of us really need to think about how we conduct ourselves in public, more specifically in a nice restaurant setting.
: Ember May 27, 2011, 12:53:30 -06:00If I am throwing an event at my place...
I should have been more clear. I didn't mean meets at someones house. I meant if people were getting together at a park or food court... something public where a bunch of people get to meet for the first time. I wouldn't expect someone to come on the forum (no matter how small it is) and say "Party at my house everyone! The address is _____!"
I am not sorry for eschewing the current discusion only because this thread is for complaints not discusing the hygene/behavoir of some furries. With that being said on to my complaints for the day: My neck and ear are F***king killing me today, I am out of muscle relaxents and I have to go out into public to make an appointment with my doctor to find out the results from my MRI last weekend. I would rather stay inside and curl up in the fetal position in the dark and not have to deal with the throngs of idiots that walk to streets today. But I have no choice but to grit my teeth, bear the pain, and get done what needs to be done. Just gotta love how life is sometimes eh? :v
Yikes. Made an assumption about what you were saying and extrapolated on that, sorry.
Allow me to restate my post for events in public places.
People who are well established in this community already have a wealth of friends. People who they already know and are comfortable being around. For them, they have no benefit to invite random people around. They already have enough friends.
So for people like that, they have no reason to broadcast what they are doing in a mad grab effort to bring more people into their life. They already have a social circle in place. These are the many small circles that fill up the local fandom. People who already have friends and don't need new ones.
Now, if you approach these people and they think that you are awesome, they will most likely invite you around. But they wont just open invite every jagoff to their stuff.
Again, the burden of effort is in the prospective social person, not the established one.
If you don't know anyone around here, do something about it! Don't just wait around for someone to tell you how special you are and how much they need you around.
Mmmk, the pieces have been said. Can we please leave it there and relegate this thread back it it's intended purpose: the airing of peoples every-day grievances?
agreeing with roxxy that this isn't the place to discuss such things (in fact, I think there are like three OTHER threads started for the specific reason of bitching about furry social circles or something.)
my complaint is that it hurts to get out of bed. T^T or get in bed. or do much of anything really.

This made more sense than anything I've heard today. Mind = blown.
My burn keeps rubbing on things and it hurts. Stupid infection.
Zucchinis
the meaning of "discretion" seems to be lost on a lot of people these days. Thank god the people involved in my personal life are smart enough to keep it to themselves, and NOT post my personal drama on my facebook wall.
We have a dishwasher. Why can't my friggin' roommates rinse their dishes and put them in there? They don't even have to run the thing when it is full or put the dishes away since I always do that. They just leave dishes on the counter or in the sink with food on them to dry on there. ... I JUST CLEANED THE KITCHEN YESTERDAY and there was already a mess on the counters and in the sink when I just went out there to get some water. Oh, and there is a paper on the part of the counter where they always put their recycling (instead of opening the door that is right beside it and putting it in the bag on the other side) that says "No recycling on the counter, OUTSIDE please!" ... but they put the recycling ON TOP OF IT!
Why can't they just be adults? =__=

I know what you mean, some people just don't want take there own responsibility in there hands, because their too dull to admit that they are lazy slobs who have an IQ lower than their shoe size.
Things like this make me pissed... I just went out to nuke some left overs from last night and see this (I took the pic after I removed the element):
(http://i387.photobucket.com/albums/oo311/zeniarats/DSCN0119.jpg)
Did she make any effort to clean it up? No. She just left it and went outside to sunbathe and chat with a friend. I am glad I caught it while it was still somewhat wet. Dried on stuff is annoying to clean. I still had to use some GreenWorks to clear it off.
(http://i387.photobucket.com/albums/oo311/zeniarats/DSCN0120.jpg)
This is my NEW (well, I got it at Value Village, but it is new to me) pot that I haven't even been able to use ONCE since one or the other of my roommates always has something in it. I don't mind sharing dishes and cooking utensils, but seriously, have a little respect.
Zenia, I'm fairly sure I would not have the level of patience with your room-mates that you seem to. I'd either set them on fire, or move.
Unrelated: Unity3D needs to fix their damn Child Combine mesh component. Having a glitch toss meshes up to 65,000+ tri from components that had maybe 1,100 tri between them is not cool.
people are assholes. compassion and human decency are dead, if they ever actually existed to begin with, and mob mentality rules the world with an iron fist. I can't remember the last time I was so ashamed to be human.
Rrrgh. More on the saga of "Unity has stuff broken that they really should fix before adding new features". Not only do child combine mesh-parent components cause a glitch that creates vast tracts of garbage geometry, Unity's built in procedural tree system has a similar glitch if you try to apply broken limb variables to tree generation. End result is a gappy, mis-welded mesh with gibberish geometry slapped here and there. The only alternative is to re-generate new random seeds until you get one that isn't buggered. FFFFF--

I know what you're talking about here, even if I'm not 100% sure what it means. However all I can think about while reading it is "Unity's genetics are faulty so it can't have normal babies. Every time Unity tries to have a baby it comes out with birth defects. The only option is for Unity to keep having more babies until it gets one right."
My complaint:
Week three with a sling... still sucks. >.<
Wow. I'm a regular in this thread now. More Unity related grumping!
Got told I need to do some instancing work on one of our game scenes. Okay. I have a handy script that makes instances replace unique geometry based on selection. Easy peasy. Yeah, no. Can't use that script; Produces prefabbed results, and that's not what we need. Oh well, I can use a position cloner, right? Nope. All the stuff that I'm instancing was rotated and placed external to Unity, so Unity can't read any rotation; It's part of the geometry's orientation as it was saved from 3DS Max. Well bugger. That's a bitch, but hey, it's only a few objects, right? I can tough it out and just fiddle the movement handles by hand until it looks right. Right?
Yeah. That little book on the shelf that I thought was part of the shelf's geometry? It isn't. It has 300 buddies scattered throughout the room.
...Excuse me. I'm going to go curl up in a corner and rock back and forth now. At least now I can definitely see why I'm being asked to fix instancing. Left as-is, this mess will completely rape our draw-call budget. Thank you (Name redacted), wherever you are. :P

Chest cold came back with avengeance today, determined to make me cough my throat out. Left work surprisingly early because of it, well more like on time.

I've had tinnitus (constant ringing of the ear) since I was a little kid. When I was young, I hated it. Now, I love it and hope it doesn't go away.
Let me explain why. I find the ringing to have a very calming effect on me and it helps me to find my centre. What I do is sit somewhere quiet, and focus on the ringing. I can make it raise and lower pitch, quieter and louder. When I was young I found it a very effective form of meditation.
And the thing is that no matter where I go in life, no matter where I am, I'll always have the ringing to return to. That thought gives me a level of comfort.
I think that this sort of thing maybe should be discussed either by PM or on a separate thread. This thread is for complaints. Please try to stay on topic people :police:

WORD OF WARNING! if you have had the good fortune to have not seen it, please, do yourself a favor, don't.
dear neighbour people; it is not my job to make sure your kid is smart enough to stay the fuck away from my dog and NOT tease him. It is also not my job to make sure your kid is smart enough to not throw things at animals, particularly sickly looking ones. Next time your little brat children come near my patio, I'm throwing smelly water balloons at them. think rotten eggs and oil. why oil? because it stains and keeps the stink in longer than one wash. maybe then you'll think twice about letting your kids harass my pets.
o.o remind me not to piss you off
lol i am a rather malicious little vixen, >:3
i likely wont do the water balloon thing. not yet anyway, i'm too cheap for that, and without actually addressing the parents before hand I could get charged with something or other i'm sure. But if I ever find out who the parents are, oh there will be words spoken. and then i'll think seriously about the water balloons.
f*** my social anxiety. I met an interesting person on the bus today and had a lovely conversation with them, I would have very much liked to be friends with this person, but I was too shy to ask for their number and now they are gone forever.
I have a commissioner who is inconceivably picky, but doesn't explain himself well. He just spent a half hour attempting to explain to me how to change the sketch in a couple panels of this comic. I couldn't understand what he was saying... and in the end, all he had to say was "Instead of one gun on each side, put them both on the right side."
*facedesk repeatedly* And this is on a cheap doodle, which I have specified gets NO REVISIONS, yet he makes me show him the sketch and make a jillion revisions and then makes changes on the final thing. My $5 doodles should take 30 min from white canvas to finished picture. He just spent that long explaining ONE of the revisions I have made. Oh, plus he is getting away with paying me less than I want.
He has bought a lot of commissions from me recently, but I don't know if I want to accept any more from him.

With that kind of logic one should realize that being an ass on the internet for no good reason doesn't make them special in any way and only brings others to have a negative image of them which most likely gets passed over to 'real life' causing awkward social interactions if one does or plans on interacting outside of the digital domain.
Hi Zinthos, I have two quick questions.
1) Who the heck are you?
2) Why should I care?
You haven't figured this out yet, so I'll try and say it simply so you have a better chance at understanding.
I'm not on this forum to make friends.
I have enough friends in real life, I don't need to make them on a forum. I'm sorry that you feel the need to do this, but some of us can be social other places.
If people want to judge me as a person negatively because of some random words on a forum, they can go for it. I don't need people like that in my life anyways.
regardless ember, you don't need to be so hostile, just because you aren't trying to make friends doesn't mean you can't treat people with respect.
Respect has to be earned. It is not handed out by default.
: Ember June 14, 2011, 06:16:02 -06:00
Respect has to be earned. It is not handed out by default.
I don't think that's very fair Ember. Everyone including strangers should be given a common level of respect, unless they've shown themselves to be an abrasive prat.
The simple act of being polite and civil is the very foundation on which respect is built and earned.
: Ember June 14, 2011, 06:16:02 -06:00
Respect has to be earned. It is not handed out by default.
I have to disagree with you ember, showing people respect is simply common decency. I try to respect everyone until they give me reason not to. I haven't been around as long as you, but from what I've seen, that comment against emo was uncalled for.
Emo spazzed out on me for just saying I agreed with someone on the other thread.

Making friends or not has nothing to do with with being being respectful towards strangers. Your hostile attitude is disrupting a friendly environment and stressing people out even though you haven't been provoked (in public threads). You say a pregnant woman does not have special needs online but, while the concept is true, getting unnecessary stress online because of someone who can't keep comments to themselves can be emotionally harmful and affect real life.
Its a wonderful thing that you have friends in real life and don't need a forum to make any. But tell me if you just said you don't even care who I am do you think I should give a living crap about that? You're not stupid you should be able to figure that one out alone. With that said your arrogant assumptions and comments
: Ember June 14, 2011, 05:52:44 -06:00I'm sorry that you feel the need to do this, but some of us can be social other places.
about me and possibly many others in the forums are not justifying your behavior.
If you don't give crap about the people on this forum why in hell are you here in the first place?
People are judging you because you're giving them the right to judge you by being a nuisance. These "random words" is how we communicate in here of course words will have an effect on what others think. If you still think we're unjustly judging and don't need people like that then please be my guest there's the door, gtfo and take your delusional logic with you.
I complain about complaining.
Zinthos,
You only ever seem to pop up on other threads that are getting attention. It seems to me that you can't do anything interesting on your own, so you have to cling onto any passing interest and try and butt yourself into the conversation.
You already know that your post wasn't going to convince me of anything, or change any part of my behaviour. But you posted anyways.
What this means is that you are an attention whore, desperately struggling to matter in some way. You don't.
You also lack some basic reading comprehension. Please quote the part of my post where I said that I was being unjustly judged. What I said (very clearly) is that I don't care at all if I am being judged.

I feel sorry for you... I have already made my point there is no need to reply to your provocations. If you want to have the last word go ahead, take it. Make me look like a fool I don't care I have issues sure, but I'm not scared of others knowing about them and most furs here already know it anyway. Enjoy your food because you don't exist to me anymore :thumbs:.
Just realized Not having 2 jobs will probably mean I won't be going to Rainfurrest this year.
Le sigh...

I'm pretty good at managing money brittany, I might be able to help you out. If you wanna set aside some time I could help you figure things out and if it comes to it I might be able to lend you some cash...

Buggered up dinner a bit. Forgot to add the turmeric to the curry blend, and didn't add nearly enough garlic or salt. Ended up pretty bland as a result. Well, bland as something involving three whole tablespoons of curry and two of garam masala can be. Still tasted somewhat okay, but... meh.

lol my mom flipped out on me earlier... apparently me having guys as friends is a big threat to her and she disapproves of me having any contact with guys whatsoever, without thinking I'm going to have sex with them all.. x'D oh man, she really needs to take a chill pill.... *facepalms*
Starting to find that my glasses are very badly out of date. I distinctly remember my vision being just as bad as when I first started wearing them, while wearing them now, and bad to the point where I can't read the alarm clock across the room without them at all nowadays. Bugger. Can't presently afford to replace them, either. *grmbl*
Selkit: ClearlyContact.ca is pretty affordable. If you just get their basic lenses, all you have to pay for is the frames, which they sell for a good price. You'd have to go to your optometrist and pay for a new eye exam though.
Yeah, that's part of the problem, Zenia. Being astigmatic, and with my left eye slightly worse than my right, glasses tend to be fairly expensive for me anyways.
No matter how well I sell myself for a job I can never seem to win out because I am competing with either older people with tons of experience soaking up all the student jobs... or 17yr old girls who employers know they can make work for table scrap wages >.=.<
Since my parents are going through a bitter divorce the house I am in is already on the market and I got to "vacate" before the end of June, with no job and dwindling cash reserves.
I could go on, but all I can say is... If potential employers do not get back to me I might just be forced to leave BC as the island is just like its population in terms of housing and work, outdated, on life support and slowly dying.

are you asking for more than minimum wage for a student job? because you probably shouldn't be.
: Sevrin June 15, 2011, 01:55:41 -06:00
are you asking for more than minimum wage for a student job? because you probably shouldn't be.
Given that the minimum wage in BC is a miserable excuse for compensation for ANY kind of job, asking for a little more isn't really unreasonable.
Regardless, they are more likely to hire the person who asks for minimum wage than the person who asks for more. The minimum wage went up recently and will go up again twice by may of next year, so its not so bad...
: Carthage June 15, 2011, 02:00:48 -06:00
Given that the minimum wage in BC is a miserable excuse for compensation for ANY kind of job, asking for a little more isn't really unreasonable.
This x200.
"Not so bad"? Are you out of your mind? The average rent in Van is ~$1200. Out in Surrey, unless you want to live in one of those fiber-board townhouses/fire traps along with a few thousand non-rent-paying bedbugs, it's still $1000 for a decent two-bed strata apartment. BC has the lowest minimum wage in Canada, even with the increase taken into effect.
yeah but it'll go up to $9.50 soonish and honestly, rent isn't THAT bad, I mean if you get roommates or a single room in somebody's basement its like $400, if you are working full time at $8.75 you make about $1300 or so a month after taxes, I'm living on less than $900 a month and I manage to have a fair deal of free spending money AND I'm saving to go to rainfurrest... as long as you aren't living with children or other dependents I think the current minimum wage is definitely adequate.
You are entirely missing the point, Sevrin. It's intended to be a living wage minimum-marker. IE: Not just for people who live with room-mates, no children and no real social obligations, no car, nothing. Yes, minimum wage is livable. If you have no car, no children, no schooling obligations, and nothing binding you? Sure, minimum wage is livable on full time hours. Otherwise? You're fucked at just minimum.
Min wage isn't meant for people to live on their own/with a car etc. It's the bare wage that a person needs to not be homeless/starving.
Living on your own and having a car are both luxuries that come with having a better job.
I suppose I am lucky to be living on the Island. At the moment, I am only making about $600/mo. I have to share a small house with two other people, take the bus and do no fun stuff (only once in a while) but I can make it. I don't think I could do it on the mainland.

I went out earlier to buy sushi for dindin for my mom and I; there's a nice sushi place on Kingsway near my house and usually after 7pm, a lot of dishes are 40% off. So I get there and I look at the menu, make a decision and place my order, wait, wait, wait... then the waitress finally brings my food in a bag and the bill. I take ONE glance at the bill and notice that my total isn't what it's supposed to be, then I look above the total to see what it is, and it's a Bento Box A for $9.90 my immediate and stupid reaction is tell her that she brought me the wrong bill... the second she walks away to go get the right one, I mutter to myself, '...damnit..' so almost having the chance to save money and pay for a $10 bill, my mistake makes me pay $25 instead... lol this mistake is gonna bug me for who knows how long, hah... :'( /lesigh/

Seriously, fans need to get a life. So the Canucks lost, it doesn't mean they should riot downtown and trash it because of a cup made of Stainless Steel. My mom told me that they also burned a car in downtown. I think it's pathetic and seriously poor sportsmanship and they give Canucks fans a really bad name. I hope your mom and brother make it back home safe. Thank god I'm not a sports fan, even if I was, I wouldn't be as dumbfounded as the people who are uselessly rioting downtown ... >;/

Several cars have burned. CBC and CTV have unending coverage.

@ H u nn Y: They have burned at least 6 cars. At least that was what they were reporting last time I was paying attention enough to watch the CBC Live Stream.

I'm watching News Hour Final, and honestly, I'm ashamed to be Canadian. Fans cannot control how they act on the streets over a fucking game. THOSE are the fans of the Canucks I hate SO much. I'm not a fan of the Canucks, nor any sports in general, but I'm not a hater of the team itself. They played their best, but came out short. That still doesn't mean they have to act like fucking idiots and destroy downtown. It's the most useless crap I've ever seen and I wouldn't be surprised if it put shame on Vancouver, because it's downright appalling. >=/

I woke up today to find my coffee grinder broken. After I decided to take my dog for a walk to Tim Horton's to get my morning coffee, the stupid leash slipped out of my hand and the damn dog ran from outside my apartment to halfway down King George before I finally got to him again.
Not a pleasant way to wake up >:\
And as if that weren't enough: I just remembered that I got a nice sunburn at Wreck Beach yesterday. How did I remember? I stepped into what was supposed to be a nice, hot, relaxing shower like I have every morning.

AAwwweee poor Jesters!
My complaint: Moving. it's always so stressful and tedious to have to pack up all your stuff. it's even worse when you don't know where you're going to be next month when you have to leave your current accommodations. Surprisingly, I'm fairly calm, I figured out my plan of action, and I don't have a lot of stuff that needs moving. The hardest part of this right now is watching my beloved Roommate panic as he tries to find work, and a place and is trying to host a very large event, all the while he's trying to accommodate myself and my mate, and our other roommate. I understand that he wants us to stay together as a group because we function so well together, but it's just not going to work, and he's stressing over it. He needs to relax and figure out what he's going to do, and just worry about himself.
he needs help moving his stuff. but because he's still trying to find a place for all of us he doesn't know where it's going, or what to do with it, and we've already made arrangements to be gone on the 27th, we wont be able to help after that. I want to help him. but I may not be able to =\
I have several complaints. first, family. i know every family is dysfunctional, but it's something to be said when I'm some how wiser and more mature than about half of the adults in my immediate and extended family, never mind the teens and children.
Second, Vancouver, just because you personally disagree with the training method I use on my dog, doesn't make it dog abuse, nor does it make it wrong. Just because I personally believe in discipline, and not reward-based training, doesn't make me a bad person. Seriously. Unless you are a qualified, professional dog trainer, who gets away with charging $150+ for 6 lessons, and you're willing to train my dog for free, stfu and mind your own business. I'll also consider your advice if you happen to be Ceasar Millan or Brad Pattison.
I'm trying to watch episodes of Ugly Betty online and those stupid 'time limits' are making it impossible to watch on a continuous loop. The only sources available so far are Megavideo and Videobb, and BOTH have that STUPID CRAP "You have watched 72 minutes of video today. Please purchase a premium account or wait 30 minutes". First of all, NOBODY HAS TO PAY TO WATCH VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET!! Secondly, waiting 30 minutes to watch the rest of one episode will be a waste of my time. I've tried everything to try and avoid this time limit, but most of it seem to be with just Fire Fox or IE and I use Google Chrome. The most I've done is block cookies from their sites, but it still didn't work, and I don't think Google Chrome has an option of "Working Offline" and if so, I certainly have not found it yet. I've already tried downloading torrents and it's shit. Pure shit. I've got two episodes downloading at the current time, so far the only progress it's made since 2AM OF EARLIER THIS MORNING has been: Ep.4 - 37.9% ; Ep.5 - 14.8% (as of 11:43pm Monday June 20, 2011) I've tried searching almost every torrent site I know and none of them have any helpful torrents, it seems like there's only one and they're all CRAP! So now I'm stuck watching it and having to get CUT OFF after 72 minutes. This is pure shit. If anybody here knows how I can avoid it on Google Chrome, PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

TF2, a game I paid $20 for, is now free. There's a waste of $20...
I just spent 4.5 hours cleaning up my roommates disaster in the kitchen because they weren't. One roommate claims she has been "too busy" to do it, but she spent the entire day today in her room. She hid from me once she heard me cleaning. Then her brother came home and he went to hide in there too. As soon as I was finished and sat back down in here, they came out and were clinking around in the kitchen.
I need cuddles but I have to wait for my mate to get back from work. *sigh* If only we lived closer to one another. >)

"documentation pictures" ... Like license, passport, etc pictures? Tell me about it. I went to get my BCID about a year or two ago and dressed all nice and actually put on makeup and made my hair look nice... Then the guy is like, take of your glasses and no smiling!
... I got the picture back like 6wks later and it doesn't even look like me. I even showed my grandma and she said "If you hadn't told me that was you, I wouldn't have thought it was!"

Yeah, I am blind without my glasses so I thought it was weird. I had never been asked to take them off before... but then I was thinking, if the facial recognition software requires my glasses to recognise me... then they will never, since I am always wearing them. XDD
that's bizaaaarre. i'm blind without mine too. Well, not blind, but I can't see more than a foot in front of my face, XD

Complaint: I'm going in to a pizza place on commercial for a three hour "training shift" and as far as I know its unpaid(I don't even know if that's legal) and there's no guarantee I have this. The women who interviewed me was hard to communicate with, English seemed to be a second language to her, but it wasn't from a language I'm more familiar with like Korean. D:
edit again: Okay its all cool, was just an hour and a half and it was to show me around to see if I wanted the job and to learn the basic pizza topping assemblies. They were really nice :3
My day is just getting worse and worse by the minute. Earlier this morning a shit ton of ant decided to crawl into my house and piss me off. We don't have bug spray and I'm not waiting for my parents to buy bug spray, because let's face it, whenever I ask them to buy anything essential like bug spray it takes them a lifetime to do so, or a week of me nagging them constantly, so what do I use instead of bug spray? Let's just say I wasted about... 2 aerosol cans, well one was already almost empty, but one full can of Lysol, just to clean up about HALF of the little f**kers last night. THEN, just as I go into my moms room at around 8am this morning to try and get some sleep (the only bloody room without ants, thankfully) I decide to turn the TV on at the WORST POSSIBLE MOMENT! This - commercial - for a GLEE PROJECT - just HAPPENS to pop up on the screen and I'm like WTF!!! First of all, I know I am DAMN WELL NOT going to watch this show until I know I'm ready too, secondly, WHY DO I ONLY HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT THIS SHOW UNTIL NOW?!?! Thirdly, I know I'm going to hate EVERY CONTESTANT ON THAT SHOW, and fourth, if I was going to be on that show, I don't want to be a SPECIAL GUEST, I want to be ON THE SHOW ALMOST PERMANENTLY!! But no, life's gotta hate on me like this and I'm SOOO pissed off right now. I literally wanted to throw the remote control at the TV... my day will probably continue to worsen... whoopie... ;;=w=

I'm so sick of hearing people go "OMG it's so ice today, let's hope it stays!" When it's been pretty nice for the last goddamn week. wtf?! I don't even clearly remember the last time it rained. srsly.

"OMG it's so ice today, let's hope it stays!"
Typos that when taken in the context of the rest of the post can make it say almost the exact opposite of what we want it to mean.
(This is a legitimate complaint, I promise I'm not trying to make fun of you EmoFox)
A beautiful day going from awesome to a pile of shit in about 20 minutes... >.<
yeah, my keyboard is broken and the N key doesn't always work.
sorry I didn't catch that typo, I'm usually a little more vigilant because i know it's a POS, >_<
I hate it when the folks on the radio think that the hotter it is, the nicer it is and the cooler it is, the worse it is. I like it when it is about 15c to 17c. That is perfect.
17c is too hot -_-; (see? my smiley has a sweat drop, this proves me right... don't argue with my logic) I like 10-12c better.
heh As long as there is a breeze, 17c isn't bad.
I have no energy, I'm not tired I'm just lethargic... I haven't got any exercise yet today, and I ate something I probably shouldn't have D: I WANT CUDDLES, cuddles would make me feel better... *sigh*
D'aww, I just finished the Ugly Betty series today, I'm saaad~ why does it have to eeeennndd~ :-[ *sniiiiiiiiffle*

Oh, definitely! =P lol, I couldn't stop crying during the last episode xD
(been cryin' quite often while watching the series from beginning to end lol) had to make sure my mom didn't walk into the living-room and see me or else she would have been like 'Y U cryin'? o-o' lol XD They all grow up so fast..!! x3 :D
I'm just soaked from that stupid waterfall that comes from above. SOB!!
sick as hell painting in the sun, good times
Screaming kids and clueless tourists yakking at full volume while tromping loudly through a bird sanctuary where other people are trying to take pictures. Y'know, people, if you want to see birds (other than the ducks, geese and pigeons that would mooch for food in the middle of a carpet bombing) then you should try and, I dunno, BE QUIET.
I look good in hipster glasses... though I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or not, perhaps I should post this in the happy thread?
Got fired. One of my co-workers quit in protest over the firing, and I've just watched seven months of work spiral the drain. And for what? The sake of a single man who can't acknowledge the real problem on the project is his lack of focus, total lack of management skills, and language barrier with his English-speaking staff. Rant time. It may get a bit brow-beaty in spots.
If you're going to manage a bloody project, firstly? Get project management software that's actually worth a damn. Use Trac or similar. Start a wiki that isn't tied to the god-awful abortion of production software you've saddled us with. An internal reference friendly wiki that's actually up to proper wiki standards. Don't rely on SVN logs alone. Project management should operate on KISS theory. Communicate by voice, even if you have an accent. People have accents, I can deal with it. Hell, just communicate in the first place. You know what was not cool? Firing me and the shader artist by simply closing our SVN accounts, project management accounts and e-mail accounts without warning or any notice whatsoever, then going silent for two fucking days without explanation while we panic and think someone hacked the repo. Doubleplus Uncool.
Secondly? You have been a massive dick lately, boss-man. You know exactly what about. You vastly overestimate what your project is worth, you have no idea what your crew's talents actually are, and you attempt to squeeze free work out of people who have already been taxed for all they're worth under extremely trying times. I started working during my grandmother's funeral. During an extremely stressful period, I was nose-down on my laptop working frantically to help push out a demo that you oversold and failed to actually get a contract out of. You have no concept of time-lines, you've banjaxed not one, but three publisher approaches now, you've badly oversold what's otherwise just a slice of mediocrity you've tooled about with for two years running and completely failed to acknowledge why there were morale problems hindering work. Hint: It's got something to do with your endless stream of false promises. And maybe a little to do with the solid osmium boat anchor of a project manager you saddled us with. And you seriously, honestly wonder why you have timeframe problems?
Three? Learn how to set a goddamn plan of action and stick to it. You know what I despise? The fact that after you changed the scope seven times in seven months, bollixed all publisher negotiations and went on from there to banjax prior work by rendering it pointless with your continual focus changes, you had the temerity to state I had done nothing. The three and a half gigabytes of content I have sitting around for folio purposes now would beg to differ. And yes, I am using them for my portfolio, whether or not you give a damn, because frankly, you have no content license to them. Glad we managed to at least agree on that much.
Now, honestly? I can't say it was entirely your fault. I can fault you for your handling of the situation. I can fault you for your total lack of empathy. Here's what you can lay on me. Yes, I haven't worked much lately. Got me there. Then again, you haven't exactly paid me for the past while, stated you have no intent to do so, and no intent to reimburse me for the shipping costs that were laid squarely on my own wallet. Honestly, I'm a little jaded and burnt out from an endless stream of false promises and your strange insistence that we somehow could not have a working relationship without a friendship. I don't like you. I don't like your methods. Feel free to blame me for not forming a proper rapport, but it was carrot and stick with a suspicious surplus of stick hidden behind the promise of carrots. And yeah? Near the end, nearly ass-all got produced. It was after focus shift number seven, and I was doing technology experimentation to see if the proposed method would even work before proceeding full steam into yet another round of work that may or may not get finished or even physically work. On that note, the last round of testing I was doing before you did just decide to close accounts and callously dismiss me? Yeah. There was a reason I did that; Have fun figuring out that the terrain idea you were proposing is unworkable. I won't be the one to test another solution to find another option, at least.
PS: Offering pirate software for use, and keeping an FTP full of it for staff use is not a shining hallmark on your practices. FYI. It's also a practice of yours that I documented in case the issue gets dredged up again. Just let it die. There's a pretty good reason why even despite your annoyance with me using Modo instead of Max, I continued to use my own personally purchased Modo 501 license, because we both know that between you and I there isn't a legal and registered copy of 3DS Max.
PPS: Names will not be named, including the studio. Libel is srsbsns, I actually respect the other staff there, and I just want the whole issue behind me.
Excuse me, fuzzies. I think I need a drink, smoke, and walk.
. . .
Did he give you your three months notice of discharge? If not, legally speaking he's still obligated to pay you for the next three months after letting you know he's going to lay you off.
Unless all your pay is by commission. In which case, you may be screwed.

Got fired....
~hugs~ sorry to hear that bud. my hearts with ya on your search for a new one.
I wait a little longer than the projected timeframe for my money to get cleared into my PayPal account to buy the cage I want... and when it finally does, the online store is SOLD OUT and I have to wait until September for them to get more stock. So I went to another site who say that they now ship to Canada (they didn't a couple of years ago) and they accept PayPal. Awesome! So I fill out my info and go to checkout... and they don't accept PayPal payments from non-US accounts. FFFFF!!! So if I want the cage in any decent amount of time, I have to pay more and I won't know until they calculate shipping for me, to get it. If I bought it from the place I wanted, it would have been $247 (including taxes, duty and shipping). The Canadian place wants $189 just for the cage. Shipping is at least $50 or $60, plus taxes. =___= I may end up having to pay $40 more for the cage than I want to.
Why can't the Petsmart at the other end of town sell this cage? They sell the version for ferrets. T___T
So what next, world?
Fired a few days ago, and after moving, I got notified by Orka there were a few phone messages waiting for me. One of them was my father informing me that my grandfather has passed on. That's four family members gone now in just two years. I have no career, I've lost my marriage, and I'm losing my health. Oh, and my odometer clicks over another year on the 7th of next month. 28. And all this. I'm only one of four surviving members of my direct family line now.
What's next? Show me worse, world. I dare you.

I'm 29 and I have had surgery on four major joints Two of them are artificial the other two are held together by screws and wire. I have a neurological disorder (diagnosed at 14) and will be medicated for the rest of my life.
How does that work for you?
Douchebags, attention whores, angry nerds, and this bird. ---> :birdy:
Considering that I have an oncologist now, Carthage, figure it out.
Drinking coffee with no sugar *Bleh* and I can't buy any more, YARG!!
headaches that last all day. -.- it has been a terrible, terrible day of achey head pain.
lol woot, doctor called today saying that I'm still anemic :D looks like 6 months of iron pills for me again. xD Fun.. :birdy:
All I've got to complain about is the existence of this thread
you realize that by posting that, you make it larger, right?
I'm hoping if it gets big enough it will collapse under it's own gravity like a star.
Get home from work at 4am..
Work again at 12.. -.-;
Its 34 degrees celcius in Malaysia and standing under the sun for 5 minutes will give the top of your head the ability to fry eggs!!

Sorry Emo! I've been somewhat unattentive where the community is concerned lately, had a lot on my plate recently. Congratulations, and may it be smooth sailing from here!
I HATE when people don't listen!!
So I am at the point at Ai where I have to put a demo reel together. But all of the copies of projects for use in my demo reel have disappeared off of the computer that I was using. The things is only my demo files have disappeared. All of the other files unrelated to that one Final Cut Pro demo reel are still intact and untouched. Even in other folders from which I had imported movies, only those files that were projects imported into FCP have disappeared, while all of the other unused movies are still intact. It's like everything related to my project has vanished.

My cousin wanted to come spend some time with me and mom here in Vancouver. That's cool and all she applied for a visa everything went well.. Now here's the problem:
She didn't contact me or mom for months after applying for the visa. She didn't ask us anything she wasn't concerned about the risks.. nothing she just got happy about coming here. Her aunt over there bought her the plane ticket and she didn't say a Goddamn thing to us here, the ones giving her a place to stay. So when she finally decides to say anything to us its 3 days before she gets here. Didn't bother to ask if we could go get her at the airport or anything just sent a fucking short notice flight schedule through email. And then the last fucking straw: She's suppose get here today at 9:30 AM. It's 6:27 am and Toronto immigration just called us about an hour ago to ask wtf is going on. Apparently she has a one way ticket with a tourist visa I don't know how many of you are familiar with this but basically think of going camping with only enough fuel for 1 trip and no money at all. I am so damn pissed at this disgusting display of irresponsibility from her part I seriously wanna just shove her ass in the next plane going back tomorrow morning.
So, use relatives brag on facebook about going to Canada to your dumb "friends" who value you for "social status" and "money". Don't give relatives, us, a single word about what's going on which just made us worry. Then pull out this monumental failure which keeps me awake (went to bed 4:30 am, didn't have time to fall asleep the phone rings with the news). And now I'm having a terrible day that hasn't even properly started yet. I just hope there's no tests in my English class today...
Having friends who mooch from you.....not only that, they won't stop coming over to give one f•••king day of recuperation.
Having the same argument over and over and over again, always reaching the same conclusion and no one ever getting the message.
I left a comment on someone's submission on FA. Not mean criticism or anything like that I just gave the person a honest opinion about their picture (it was a photo of him in a fursuit not a drawing) and he comes at me as if I insulted his entire family tree generation... ? What the **** is this kind of behavior do furs usually look for trouble when there isn't one or was that guy just severely messed up ?

And the job I just got, after my first day on it? I've discovered the hard, brick-wall-meet-face kinda way that I am not physically cut out for it.

Why would you cut off your finger? Wouldn't that hurt? Don't you have use for that finger for another time??? Silly!!!
Why would you cut off your finger?
It started giving me lip. >. >
seriously, though, it sounds worse than it really is.. I only lost about 2mm. The only reason I went to a hospital is because I nicked the end of the artery. *sigh*

@VVVV@ Joel (one of the roommates) is trying to claim that the bag of frozen berries that he has been eating were bought by him a week and a half ago. ... So why is it that I never ate any of the berries I bought (same brand and mix) and there is only one bag in the freezer?
I bought the bag and a vanilla yogurt so I could make smoothies. Then they opened my yogurt thinking it was theirs. Aja (the other roommate) promised to buy me a new one (but hasn't yet) so I didn't touch any of my berries. Since I am still waiting on that yogurt, the berry bag should still be full, but it is almost empty.
So if he really did buy that bag... where did mine go? >____> That is it. I am going to start labeling EVERYTHING of mine.
Fgggggg! I keep getting woken up by the people in the living room. The glass doors between there and my room do NOTHING to dampen the sound. I just want to sleep. =_______= It is FOUR IN THE F--KING MORNING... SHUT THE F--K UP ALREADY!! ... Or go to Ajas room. At least there I can't hear you.
I am so vacuuming at 8am just to be annoying to them.
Oh dear! Zenia you sound like you should get your own fridge! Also move to Vancouver.... yeah. or just 'out' if you can't trust your roommates.

hey purple have you tried dressew down in vancouver they have a number of costume items for sale. Also another option is the place in newwestminster its a costume rental shop so they might have something, sorry dont recall the name or location.
If you're looking for hats try here: http://ediehats.com/ (http://ediehats.com/)
They probably have what you need.
Yes I was at dressew, they had something similar to what I wanted but in black, blue, and white. Thank you though Sairys, it is a great place for costume pieces isn't it? I've been to dressew downtown, New York novelties on main, and Just Imagine on Broadway. If someone knows the name or knows where it is please let me know. Thanks!
I LOVE Edie's! I have three hats from there and I go there pretty much when ever I'm down at Granville Island. I've never seen a brown cowboy hat there, though that might be because I wasn't looking for one. Thank you for the suggestion Carthage!
Ha! I wonder why I never thought of that place!
I know for a fact they do have cowboy hats. When I bought my black hat there, one of the hats I tried on was a cowboy hat. It was quickly determined to look horrible on me and was removed.
: PurpleVeggie August 06, 2011, 03:05:41 -06:00Also move to Vancouver.... yeah.
I would... since Van lives over on the mainland, but I can't leave my job. It is too hard for me to find new ones. People discriminate against me based on my size, and I need a job that allows me to sit, since I can't stand for too long.
... I will just have to get him to move here and live with me in a 1br. :P
Yeah, I knew how silly it was when I was suggesting it to quit your job and move to Vancouver. I guess what I really meant to convey was : It sucks you have roommates you can't trust and it would be cool if you lived closer to Van. Me too I guess, I'd like to meet you :3
Complaint: I remembered why Edie's wasn't on my list. Everything but they're toques and sunhats are out of my price range. D:
I'll still go, but I doubt I'll be able to get it there. I know I'll be walking into a situation that'll TORTURE me, because they're probably going to have the perfect thing too!

You're using an iPad, you really have no grounds to complain here. Any poor performance can most likely be attributed to your choice of platform.

Yeah, my Tablet PC can run Photoshop, but pressure sensitivity broke after I upgraded it to Win 7. It's not too complex what I'm working on ATM on my iPad though.
I hate it when people think a certain OS program is better than another, they're all equal in different ways. Just because I prefer one doesn't mean I hate another, Hell I'm only using Windows until I can find a way to fuse my TARDIS Matrix into my laptop.
Edit: just bad writing
Hi, programmer here. iPad hardware is far less than a tablet PC, and the OS is far more restricted. (iOS is a mobile OS, not a full and proper unix based operating system like OSX) thus, iPad < PC, and really, an iPad just a stupidly expensive toy. Thus, you get what you got gouged for.
Tech is my industry, as is gaming. I hate when people want to argue tech things because I am always tempted to reply.
I'll never buy an iPad or iMac, because I can't stand using a computer without knowing how to tinker with stuff in the back end, and I don't want to bother learning a new OS.
However, I accept that Apple is a winner for the general populace because their products:
- Look slick
- Work for everyone, easy to use
- Are status symbols
- Play Angry Birds
For the typical expert computer user (I'm guessing most furries fall in this category, myself included) these are not particularly valuable traits but the average dude off the street would rate these highly on their list. You have to give props to Apple for seeing and fulfilling this need.
Oh no! I didn't mean that the iPad was actually good for drawing and what not, the conversation just reminded me of one of the things I disliked. I'm not surprised the iPad isn't good for drawing (although i could see possibilities, with it being a tablet and all) I was just saying I hate it when people are like "Lol your problem is you're using a mac! trololololololol" Just my thoughts.
i hate that too. Mac's are better at some things than PC's, and PC's are better at some thing than Mac's. It's been my experience that Macs are better for music recording/mixing etc without a huge expensive studio, whereas PC's are better for MMOs, and most games in general. Except maybe dinosaur tycoon, but really that was so long ago I can't remember if that was even was a mac.
my complaint is clearly contacts only takes credit cards and paypal now, >:/ completely screwed up all my plans. bastards.
you forgot linux, linux is better for technical stuff like programming and things.
I didn't forget linux. I just didn't include linux because as nerdy as I am, I don't have a lot of experience with it. Sadly, I rely too much on certain aspects of windows to justify wiping my HD and installing linux of any type. As tempting as it can be sometimes. I mostly just use it for recovery when a hard drive goes bad.
Another complaint; when people post about their sex lives on a public forum. No one really cares even half as much as you do that you got laid. except maybe the other person involved. But chances are, they're actually more concerned with the fact that they got laid.
There is a set of outlets (ie: a regular plug-in spot with two places for things) on the counter where the toaster and bread machine are. The bread machine is OBVIOUSLY being used. Someone, and I can only assume it was one of my roommates friends since my roommate watched me prepare the bread ingredients, UNPLUGGED the machine... to do what, I don't know, since nothing else was plugged into the wall. Why would they unplug the bread machine?! If they wanted to use an outlet, they should have used the unoccupied one. So I had to plug it back in and start the cycle all over again. I can only imagine what kind of giant monstrosity this loaf of bread will be since it has to do everything it has already done (as in rising) AGAIN. >_____>

I can only imagine what kind of giant monstrosity this loaf of bread will be since it has to do everything it has already done (as in rising) AGAIN. >_____>
Maybe it unplugged itself! it was like "Fudge this bread making buisness! I'm not doing that!" and it unplugged itself.
aww... I think I inadvertently insulted someone, now they don't seem to be talking to me D: I feel really bad about it :-\

I bought two disks from foxamoore a little over a month ago, he had a special deal so that if you bought them both together you saved like 5 dollars... well he just changed his prices and now they are both cheap enough that it would be cheaper to buy them both now without any kind of sale... also he has a new deal that lets you buy all his cds for only 10$ more than I bought the first two D:

while being frustrated trying to scrape some burnt food off of my non stick pan with a knife and being overly careful not to scratch the non stick coating, I realized that this is a really shitty non stick pan if the only way to get food off of it is to scrape it off with a knife.

o= If the scraping doesn't work, you could always just soak the pan with warm/hot water and let it sit for a few, and maybe add a few drops of soap into the water. That usually does the trick to anything that sticks if scraping it off doesn't work. :)

ooh no, D: So sorry to hear about your furry friend. </3
Holy crap, almost had an anxiety attack three times at work ; ^;
those are always fun
I have a craving for something, I don't know what it is though, I thought it was rootbeer but it wasn't rootbeer, all I know is that its cold, sweet, crisp, and refreshing, it could be a type of fruit... maybe grapes? I should try those next.

due to timing issues today (and terrible planning on my part, :I I suck) I have to wait until tomorrow to pick up my car. And I don't know if I'll have anyone to help me drive it home, as I only have a learner's license currently. D: Emofox is emo.
My fnuck'n chair broke. Nice leather managerial chair, and the damn backrest's snapped partway off on me. Grump!
oh yeah, mine did that, I kept using it anyways and then the whole thing just snapped right off and I fell right off my chair. I suggesting fixing it or getting a new chair asap.

>__> The tap in my shower has been streaming hot water since the plumber 'fixed it'. We can't turn it off. The landlady was supposed to contact him last Monday or so, then I reminded her on Wednesday. I just emailed her to say that we haven't heard from him yet. ... She forgot to even phone him.
We have to pay for the gas that has been heating this water that has been running for almost two weeks.
you *should* be able to have that taken out of your rent; it's not fair that you should pay extra gas because she forgot to call the plumber. You should talk to her about it, and if she says no then talk to the Residential Tenancy office about it.
My complaint: We never did actually organize a day to go to splashdown @ cultis lake. Either that or I missed it completely. D: I wanna go to the water sliiiides... *whine*
I've been sick for a while, like vertigo/lack of spatial reasoning/mild fever/numb extremities/constant vomiting/lightheadedness sick, and I really, really don't want to go to the hospital because I'm afraid they're going to put me on yet ANOTHER medication I can't afford.
Current prescription count: 5 (although nearly to the end of two of them, and then no more, whee!)
Current over-the-counter drug count: 2
Current monthly income: $100, if I'm lucky.
downloaded something recently that seems to have some backdoor shit included with it and is trying to steal all my passwords... luckily its dated and firefox caught it... but my antivirus doesn't seem to be having much luck finding and removing it for some reason... scans still not complete though so we'll see how it goes.
Since I woke up, yesterday, the right side of my face feels heavy, kind of like it's numb.

Update: so, not sure how well I should believe these people, but after having a short conversation with a RN from 811, she claims that I might need to go to the emergency room... and now I'm really starting to freak out.. plus my mom just left to go to her friends house (she left before I called them) and the lady said that I should either call an ambulance to pick me up or get a friend to drop me off.. yeah..
Well, on for things to complain about...
I went to the Washworld on Lougheed highway after getting my car massively dirty at Harrison, by racing along the gravel road. So I soaped up my car, scrubbed it good with the brush, then put the brush back onto the wall. Then I go pick up the spraying tool to rinse my car off, so while I was rinsing the hose connected to the sprayer, pulled the hose connected to the brush, and right off the wall into my car. There was a loud thud and saw the brush was on the ground. I put the brush back up on the wall, and when I turned around I saw that it smacked a little off center of my back window, shattering it into a million pieces. Now I got my car in the shop, and its going to cost me 500$ >M<
My male rat, Cujo, was dead in his cage when I came home today. He had blood all around his nose and his body was pretty stiff and cold, so I'm guessing it happened a while ago.
There didn't seem to be anything wrong with him, except that he was getting more aggressive lately. I guess he must have been sick. :/

My male rat, Cujo, was dead in his cage when I came home today.
*sniff* Sorry to hear that! Coming home to find that is the worst.
The worst I ever found... was after I had successfully (or so I thought) introduced my new neutered male to my mischief of ladies, I went to work. They had all behaved and gotten along while I was home, for five solid days. I came home and my hairless girl (who I waited over 6mos to get) had been killed by the new guy. He bit her so many times. I was so disturbed, but I couldn't hold a grudge against him, 'cause he was my rescue boy (from the 75+ rat rescue in Idaho if you heard of it) and I loved him.
I was playing a motorcycle arcade game on the ferry, and I think I pulled a muscle in my back.

Safari freezing up on me for the third time tonight.
Sick weasel. Nose is full of unspeakable... crud, my head's spinning, and my throat feels like someone's micro-planed it.
Not only sick, but going in to work that way; Couldn't stay home yesterday, and can't really afford to stay home today. Just need to soldier through one more day of this, then I get three to recuperate. Mwuuugh.
Oh, and on top of that? My stupid tablet crapped out on me! Gnaah! Five hundred bucks that otherwise would've gone to FC. Grumph.
Getting blamed for stuff I didn't do. >:C
I now have a hole in my shoe, and the rain isn't really helping me on my part. :P
Not getting a response to an email that clearly needed one. >.<
Being chronically fatigued. -_-
Day eight of being sick and counting. I am starting to think I may have something fairly serious going on, as I feel worse today than I have the entire duration. Hospitality industry; Meet interesting new people, help them with their travel needs, acquire their strange and exciting transmissible 'gifts'. Plus side? I don't think I've gotten quite so much art done in a -long- while. Downside? I managed four shifts sick last week. I don't think I have the strength left to do it again this week and I may have to call in sick. I'll see how tomorrow's shift goes; I wouldn't ordinarily dream of going in to work sick if I wasn't working solo, however.
My sister lost her passport....cute. :(
ICBC's stupid mysterious rules that you don't know about, and that they don't have posted ANYWHERE, but suddenly enable them to refuse your road test. sonuva BITCH. >:(
Not hearing word about my student loan until yesterday, and learning I have to cash it myself, despite the school holding onto the papers for the last two weeks, so I have to wait until later today to cash it, and then it takes a few days to a week to process, so I won't have my money ready for the first day of school. What does this mean? I can't buy the almost 2800 dollars worth of shit they want me to buy on the first day from them >:V apparently almost 14 grand of my money isn't enough, they want even more of it! (Stuff like sewing machine add-on's I'll need, apparent 30 dollar T-square's, etc...)
Being at work having a nice, friendly conversation and having one of the least tolerable people many of us here know walk in the door and try to say hi.

Everything, D:
Okay, seriously now. She said i forgot to shoulder check at a yield sign. But I totally did shoulder check. :I Must have done it too early I guess. Also my space margins need work. I failed the parallel parking, which is actually kind of surprising because I'm normally pretty good at it. And got really nervous and forgot to signal going towards and pulling away from the curb. >_<
They were all stupid mistakes that I'm pretty sure were nerve related. There were a few other should checks she says I missed, which may be true, but I'm more inclined to think I just didn't exaggerate them enough.
Bah. Any good furs out there willing to drive with a n00b? XD
Ah, for some reason parallel parking is vital enough that if you fail it, you fail the whole thing. They should have given you another chance!
At least you know what to work on for next time though.
yeah Im going to have to practice my parallel parking big time. I just dont do it enough. AND usually only trying to do it on a hill in a standard when Im nervous.... doesnt work so hot. I always get it done its just not smooth and pretty.
When I had my road test from L to N the guy was a jerk... I was living on the island at the time and he made snide comments about things like stop lights and stop lines. And he totally had the I freaking hate this...
Then he said I sped through a park zone but the only issue with that is the borrowed Geo Metro I was driving had no guts the park zone started on the other side of the road and I had to come to a full and complete stop at a four way stop. So theres no way I was going 30 let alone the 50 he said I was by the time I reached the other side of the intersection. OHHHH well that was 7 years ago..... hmmmm really need to go to my 5 from my N now.....
I lost my black windbreaker. :(
So exhausted. I wasn't finished my workload by the time the shop closed (even though I didn't take my lunch break) so I stayed behind... alone... to finish it. It took me an hour and a half extra to do it. I was almost gonna get a cab home and that was annoying since it would cost more than I just made in that extra hour. However, the nice part of this post is that the guy that owns the building was there and he offered me a ride home.
Then I got home and I am starving, but don't want to cook, so I phoned Quiznos, but they don't have a driver tonight. *siiiiigh* So I ordered pizza again. XD

anyways, I don't suppose I could stow away in someones trunk to get past the border could I? cause otherwise I'm pretty damn boned.
I'm about to cry, I've searched my entire house, I even went as far as rooting through my garbage, the only thing I have yet to search is the garbage bin outside... that would mean spending an hour ripping open garbage bags looking for the ones that are mine on the off chance it fell in the garbage can somehow and I threw it out... of course if that was the case it would likely be at the dump by now...

Getting sick the first day of the first con you have attended, and not getting better till a couple days after it's over. Just happened :P
Coming to work after the weekend to find your hours have been cut severely. Boss says it'll be worked out next week, but that doesn't help me this week does it? >.<

I infected a lot of people at RF!
I'm in deep shit - I backed up all of my lecture notes a while ago before my laptop crashed from a defective hard drive, and I forgot to retrieve them for the slew of midterms starting next week's Thursday. /epicfail
Edit: Turned out I named some of the files with spaces and some of them without spaces. The fact that I took a haphazard approach to capitalizing and non-capitalizing some of the file names doesn't help. Dammit, now I need a chill pill after putting my poor sled dog self on overdrive.
UGH! Getting a commission done an this person is slow.....but would it kill them to reply to a pm in a speedy fashion instead of making me freak out for no reason @~@
I'm sick, and I need a hug, but I can't get a hug because I'm sick D:
Stupid frackin' car decided to crap out on the way home today... managed to park it in front of my building, at least, but it looks like the fuel pump's borked. I'll have to get it towed and repaired since the pump is inaccessible without removing the tank... and I'm bussing to work tomorrow. Hurray. =/

I ate too many peanuts. Now I am in agony. I had to fold up the bag and toss it up where I can't reach it so I won't eat more. Why did I buy a bag that is just over 2Kg?

Bush is not Hitler, even if Bush is still a terrible excuse for a human being. Not by a long shot.
Okay, that example may not have been best to some people. *raises a furbrow* I'd be going on with further examples regarding the comparison between the two, but 'ay, I fear someone brought some ad hominem flamethrowers and I don't want to get scorched.
I'd be quoting from Allen Ginsberg's Howl then.
Read Part 2 of Howl and you can see how many parts of the poem itself ties in with Bush.

Hit in the head. With a goddamn firework. I'm very, very lucky that it went off behind me after bouncing away, and not right next to me. As it stands, I have a little quarter-sized patch on my dome that feels sunburnt, and I'm still a little nauseated and pissed off from the adrenaline. Fucking *irresponsible* idiots...
Edit: Before anyone asks, no, it was not intentionally aimed at me, it was part of a little impromptu fireworks display a pair of complete morons decided to set off on the adjacent lot, and when I went out to ask them what the hell they thought they were doing setting off fireworks not 50 feet from suites at 10, I ran away to investigate what I thought was a fire started by another partial-dud, when another late-burster hit me in the back of the head from above. Bounced away, I saw sparks whizz past me from behind, and I'm very thankful that it didn't either snag in my hair or clothes, or go off on impact.
Gnaaaah!
Edit the second: Yes, I called the cops and made a full report. No, the cops didn't show up for an hour. The assholes were long gone by the time the cops rolled by.
Stupid b*tch Nicole is making me cry as I watch the first half of the latest episode of f**king Jersey Shore >:( (I have a tendency to cry very easily during any sad moment, especially in this episode where she's pouring her heart out about Gionni, her boyfriend, leaving her the night she was acting crazy at a club) everytime she was crying, I couldn't help but kinda feel bad for her and start crying, because honestly, she didn't deserve any of what happened to her... but Gionni does have his reason for leaving, though he could have at least dealt with the situation a little more differently than he did, tbh...... but other than that: http://www.bcfurries.com/forum/index.php?topic=3228.msg59621#new (http://www.bcfurries.com/forum/index.php?topic=3228.msg59621#new)

New tenants, living to other peoples standards once more...Fun times.
Ugh. I wrote on the whiteboard that I found food waste in the garbage yet again. In case you don't do the 'green bin' system, starting this month where I live, food waste must be placed in its own container in special compostable bags. Recycling still goes in its regular bag and the rest goes in the garbage. Now, food waste is collected every week, but garbage and recycling are picked up on alternating weeks. We MUST keep the garbage down since it only picked up every two weeks now.
I just went to get some water and one of my roommates has written: "I don't half [sic] to do the garbage!" ... Well, no, you don't have to take it to the curb or buy extra container tags if we need them since I said I would... but it is NOT my job to pick through the garbage every day and separate out the food waste. That is DISGUSTING.
I live with CHILDREN! Honestly!!!!!
Bah, I have a similar garbage problem with my roommates a couple of days ago. Wherever the heck happened to "If you ___ it, you clean it?" The kitchen was filthed up, and flies were bloody everywhere.
Well at least it's all done and clean for now.

Oh no! Well Howloween is a bummer to miss, but there will guarantee be lots of other events for you to attend over the next year. Kaji even got the fur meets going again! Most events are on the weekends so school shouldn't be too much of an obstacle to schedule around.
Of course I don't know of all the circumstances that would make it impossible for you to not attend any events for a whole year. For all I know your grounded for a year for some ominous and inexplicable reason.
edit: Gah! I'm sorry! I didn't realize when I said that that you live way out past Chilliwack where it's harder to get to events. I just kinda assumed you lived closer to Vancouver then that :-[

Caught some con crud at the trade show I was at for work this past week. Consistent with last year, when I caught a cold in New Orleans at a show and flew home with it, my left ear has refused to equalize after landing. Again.
And I went into the office after getting home yesterday, only to take a call from my boss informing me that I'm going to need to replace no less than three articles in the issue of my magazine I'm working on, plus change a bunch of stuff on Tuesday, which is, or was, my deadline.

The Charlottes don't have a local anything. There is a really nice sandwich shop in queen Charlotte city.
I'm sure the 6-8 hour ferry ride wouldn't help the commute much and that's on a good day without

I quickly googled it
Symptoms of a Symbyax Overdose
If a person overdoses on Symbyax, the symptoms can vary. Some commonly reported symptoms include:
Confusion
Seizures
Coordination problems
Speech problems
An irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
Loss of life.
However, once the drug has been absorbed into the body, there is no treatment that can remove it quickly. Therefore, in these cases, treatment typically involves supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose.
It is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you or someone else may have taken too much Symbyax.
I.. I don't know about three, but it might be a good idea...

Holy fuck
edit: What do I should I just call them? I don't want to wake up my parents, it's my mom's birthday they don't need this at this time of night
edit edit: She wants to know how many milligrams I took where on the bottle would it say how many mg are in each pill?
Call them and wait at the door/outside? 3:
Incase something happens in the waiting time?
It all started when I did a bunch of yummy drugs last night...
When I saw my friend skatboarding I was like: "Hey mofucka I can do that!"

I couldn't.
I've been walking with a limp all day and I crushed my (expensive) new phone when I hit the pavement. Woo. :highfive:
Party on.
@Wolf - Ahwrrr... Showing off never tends to end well .w.
Sorry to hear all that though 3:
how're you feeling Ren?
The miligram per pill should be right on the label, usually in the lower right corner (for most drugs anyway) if not there, try the back, under "directions" where it tells you how many to take etc.
I'm worried about Ren now 3:
I hope he's gunna be okays :/
eh, he's probably fine. Probably went to bed and just hasn't gotten up yet..
Oh it's alright, I didn't die, and they didn't send an ambulance so I'm assuming it isn't serious. :o
I feel oddly high, and it kept me up all night. I called in sick for work today from lack of sleep. I feel exhausted but my heart's going a mile a minute right now. It's weird.
Oddly enough I don't feel any happier now. Isn't that what antidepressants are supposed to do? :monocle:
@Ren - Yaaay~ :3
Meeps... uhm.... antidepressants take up to three weeks of constantly taking them for full effect, from personal experience .w.
Wrenched the hell out of my ankle on uneven pavement on the way home from work. It's only slightly swollen and it will bear weight, but walking is no fun right now. I have a shift tonight. Part of my shift is doing security rounds. On even worse pavement.
I am not looking forward to work tonight. :P
I was supposed to have my hair streaked yesterday.. but our horse broke free and my mom had to reinforce the fencing..
Then today, but the place was full when we got there...
Then tomorrow at 10 AM, and we have reservations .w.
dont get to do push for the ccure this year cause im out fishing, and were stuck in westport again cause of weather, apperently the weather getrs really shitty 80 to 100 miles offshore but we only get to suffer another week or 2 of this cause the season ends oct 31 and we probly wont be out there till the end anywys so no biggie i guess...
When we got all the dying and streaking finished, my mom accidentally gave a horrid tip 3:

I'm not too fond of the bus system myself. Its alright most of the time. Except when the bus just doesn't show up. D: Especially those way out of the way buses that only come once every half hour and the stop is in the middle of nowhere. At night.

How a lot of my fur friends live down in Seattle D: Thats far.
My roommates. PICTURE EXAMPLE! (http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/4683/kitchenrh.jpg)
They seriously are mad at me because I left two semi-greasy things on the stove top... meanwhile, almost EVERYTHING else is theirs, but they make no effort to clean. I just washed everything that was mine and left all theirs. Maybe they will get the hint. >__>
WOOOOW. Can you not complain to the landlord and give them the boot? :/
: EmoFox October 12, 2011, 11:54:56 -06:00
WOOOOW. Can you not complain to the landlord and give them the boot? :/
Oh. I have complained a few times to her, but she just says "Whatever happens inside the house is between you guys. You have to work it out amongst yourselves." I got so fed up that I tried to get them kicked out (if it worked, they would have left on the 1st of this month) but they swore to me and the landlord that they would start taking care of the house. Since then, the sister has cleaned up the kitchen once (but didn't clean the floor or lower cupboard fronts that they spill stuff down) and the brother cleaned out the fridge, but left the food containers all over the counters.
Ugh! And I have a mini hissy-fit every time I have to vacuum our basement.
If I came home to my kitchen looking like that... someone would be missing a limb.
Come to think of it, it looked pretty bad when I got home today. :/ Looking forward to tomorrow.
lol I just went out into the kitchen, and I was being called a hypocrite again (via whiteboard). This is like, the third or fourth time one of them has called me that. Look again at THEIR mess. Look at mine. Does that warrant being called that? It seems like they just want to use a big, fancy word on me. >__> So I had like 10% of the dishes out there (maybe) and a couple of times I forget to throw a piece of packaging away... but they almost never clean their dishes and they have no problem leaving cans/recycling on the counters/floors or stacks of pizza boxes on the floor. ... And I am a hypocrite?! I am about ready to EXPLODE.
I think that I will clean the bathroom (something that they have NEVER done since we moved in this past February) and then put all of their dishes/recycling into the bathtub and clean the rest of the kitchen. They really love taking showers, so this will force them to do something... they will probably only move them back into the kitchen and then bitch at me like the children that they are.. But just maybe they will actually wash them and then wash the bathtub too like I have been asking them.
Back when we had our meeting with the landlord, I mentioned the fact that they never cleaned the bathroom, and the brother had the nerve to say "I don't mess it up in there though!" ... Oh, so when you use the toilet, there is never any splashback? When you throw something into the already full garbage and it falls out, it is ok on the floor? When you have a shower, you don't help create slime in the tub and on the surround? Your soap doesn't leave any scum on the sink? Do you think that I am the one that calls all the dust to land on the floor? Some things are MAINTENANCE and it is EVERYBODYS job to help.
The sister still has like 10 to 15 boxes in the living room that she STILL hasn't unpacked, or even moved out to the garage. It looks like a pigsty in there, 'cause some of the boxes are open and have their contents spilled out.
When we moved in, the sister promised that she (and her brother) would be the ones in charge of yardwork. Our yard is on a hill and I didn't want to have to deal with it and was going to pass on the house, but she insisted that she would do it, so I gave in. I said that I would then be in charge of buying garbage bags and if needed, tags, and to take the garbage and recycling to the curb (now to buy compost bags and take the green bin to the curb). Since my job is a year round one, I think it makes up that their job is kinda hard in the spring/summer. Although, they seem to think that they don't have to sort the garbage properly or put their recycling into the recycling bag. Anyway, in the whole spring/summer season, the lawn was mowed 2.5 times. They each did half the first time, the brother was forced into it by the landlord the second time, and the sister did half of it (and still hasn't finished the other half) this last time. Our next door neighbours actually just built their fence HIGHER so they wouldn't be able to see into our yard. Then when they are confronted about it, they whine that they work all day and when they get home, it is dark... well the brother gets home around 4:30 and the sister gets home at 7:30. Even if it was too dark or they were too tired, they have weekends. This is called 'being an adult' and you have to do things even if you don't want to.
I wish I could afford to rent a one bedroom and not have roommates.
So this is what has happened so far today:
http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/6647/kitchenaj.jpg (http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/6647/kitchenaj.jpg)
Plus I left them a long note (it took up almost the whole whiteboard) about how it isn't fair that they call me a hypocrite and leave the kitchen like they do. I bet it won't stay this clean for very long.
edit: (10:30) lol So about an hour ago I heard all the cupboards opening and shutting rapidly. Aja was frantic and I just now opened my door to let my cat in and saw that she had rubbed out part of my big whiteboard note and written "WHERE ARE THE DISHES?! WHAT IS THIS?!" :P

Things are kinda falling to shit for me right now 3:
My ulcer is acting up, so I get to vomit blood every night when I'm trying to sleep.
My landlords are showing my house to prospective buyers tomorrow ... during hours when I sleep. So I get to spend another 48 hours awake, and that is NOT good for me.
My medications are becoming less effective, so I may have to go back on anti-psychotics, and they ALWAYS make me gain weight 3:
I'm poor as balls and can't find a job, so I may have to move back in with my mom. Which means my brother will know where I live. Which means I get to live, once again, in daily fear for my life. The only thing keeping me afloat right now is one suit commission coming up in November and one in January, and if I'm REALLY careful I will be able to make that money last long enough to take me through to March.
And since it's cold, my gimpy hand and hip are becoming really stiff and painful, and I'm immune to codeine and becoming immune to Advil, aspirin, and Tylenol.
Yaaaaaaaay.
Zenia, i'm enjoying following your housework wars, XD
oh and complaint; people who don't read entire posts/topics, and then comment on the topic at hand, or what they think the topic is,
heh Yeah... the only update on that at the moment, is that I put all their stuff out on the porch on Thursday and it is STILL THERE. One of them opened a tin and left it on the counter (and today opened another one and left it and a knife in the sink) and the other used a paper plate and left it on the counter. I added the paper plate and fruit tin to the stack outside and will do the same with the other tin and knife tomorrow morning if it is still there.

That's impressive, me and one of my room mates had to do something similar to our other room mate who never cleaned, except we just threw ALL the dirty dishes on their bed.
Being sick totally sucks!
: Rant October 17, 2011, 12:28:42 -06:00we just threw ALL the dirty dishes on their bed.
Yeah, some people have told me to do that... but I would feel horrible about doing it, no matter how pissed I am at them. Plus this way, the dishes aren't stinking up the house... and I don't know who dirtied what dish (they are siblings and share their dishes) so I would probably end up putting the wrong thing in one of their rooms. XD
Haha fair enough, wait a brother and sister moved out together... I find that odd

My brother ones had over 10 plates, 12 cups ,most of the utensils and even some of our small pots in his room... so old they had gotten moldy... after putting up with having no dishes to use for dinner for so long I covered his entire bed in like a massive layer of all his dirty dishes then stabbed some forks into his wall for good measure and left them sticking out for him and everyone to see XD (this was after I said he should and him and my grandma just brushed me off with a "yeah what ever")
Damn, this concept of kitchen messiness is infectious.
Several weeks ago, after the huge cleanup in the kitchen, my roommates and I decided to write up a "Terms-and-Conditions" sort of announcement. TL;DR-wise, it's "If you get shit in the kitchen, you clean it up.". It seems as if this agreement of sorts hasn't been kept up as the kitchen counter is littered with dirty cutlery knives lying haphazardly around (enjoy your new cheese-laced laceration!), plates and used frying pans.
I live in a house with SEVERAL other people, and while they do the dishes fine, they leave meat on teh counters (EW and so not FS) the fridge stinks, and they NEVER ever EVER wipe any of teh counters or surfaces down. I live in fear of salmonella... so I eat out most of teh time 3:
I want to return this slice of Canada. It's defective; Way too hot, and the temperature controls are out of whack with the time controls.
Seriously, what business does it have being so bloody hot in my bedroom that I can't sleep completely bare-ass naked thanks to the heat, with the windows wide open and even the door open for further airflow and a fan going?
heh The day we moved in I wrote up a 'kitchen guidelines' sheet. They both were like "That is a great idea!" and signed it... then NEVER followed the guidelines.
ALSO! If people keep setting the fire alarm off this late at night I'm going to lose my mind!
!!!IF YOU SET THE ELEMENT ON FIRE TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW THERE'S SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG!!! D:

My tenants were playing my WII early this morning, while leaving a mess of piles of games and they left it on since then....I HATE cleaning up after these people!!!
Being stuck in a mundane routine which feasibly is possible to break but would be risky to do, especially for someone who is unmotivated and depressed.
One of these wolves is not like the other, one of these wolves is trapped.
I gotta stop staying up past 2am.
I dislocated my shoulder again...
My doctor told me the mental illness I was diagnosed with back in December "isn't real", that I'm "making everything up", and that she won't back me up in applying for disability.
Hopefully, since I'm still technically enrolled, I can talk to the doctor at Langara and see if she'll back me up.
3: and, worst comes to worst, I guess I'll just waste the rest of my life savings on therapy and move back in with my mom.
One of my roommates has woken me up two nights in a row because she (I think it is the girl roommate) has decided to cook at 3am. If she could be quiet about it, I wouldn't care... but she clinks, rattles, squeaky doors, thumps, etc and it wakes me up. My bedroom door opens right up to the kitchen. The previous tenants put the door up to make the formal dining room into a bedroom, and that is my bedroom... the door doesn't do anything to muffle sounds so I hear everything.
The last house I lived at, my roommate there banned me from cooking after 10pm, and because I like to make people happy, I complied. Heck, even here when I know my roommates are sleeping, I stay quiet. They party until 5am and keep me awake and then are sleeping at 11am? I won't vacuum like I want in the morning until I hear them get up, because I am nice like that.
my upstairs neighbour seems to be an extrovert, which I am not. I like socializing and everything, but the only people I really talk to EVERY day, is my family, and I don't know how to ask her to back off without being rude. I like her well enough, and it's fun to get out every so often and do something, but for me, "every so often" is like, once a week, maybe. For her it's... i dunno, every day? Every other day? Case in point, we went to the pool yesterday, and she's already making plans to go again together on Monday. I don't think I can do it. And she TALKS. All the time. She interrupts me, and she's one of those people who always has to one-up you. And she keeps offering to babysit, but I don't like the way she handles children. The more I see her interact with my own children specifically, the more i dislike it. Especially with the little one. And her constantly saying "I have a 2 year old, I know what I'm doing" isn't any comfort, because i've met her two year old. But I have no idea how to tell her to back off without offending her. And she lives above me, so if I did offend her she could EASILY make the next few months we're living here hell. But it's to the point now where we're considering moving just to get away. X_x
And, i'm cranky. >:\
Not having anywere to live using up what favors I have running out of couches to crash on, running out of money, out of friends, out of options, being suuuuper stressed and just over all hating my life currently Sooo ya I have some shit to complain about but there is a up side like I do have a job just I cant find a place to live that is any were near it and I am loosing my transportation so I wont have anyway to get to work unless I get a place near were I work were the rent isent to high. . . . this is close to impossible
The aftermath of interrupting a break-in at work means I get to sit around paranoid for the remainder of my night shift making security rounds at twice the usual interval to ensure the crime-scene stays secure until the police arrive to collect evidence in the AM. On a more amusing note, the dirtbag that broke in *LEFT HIS DAMN PAYSTUB* on the nightstand of the suite he broke into, and his shirt on the bed. Herpaderp! I have a fair bit of sympathy for hobos. I have no sympathy for transient-working hobos that have discovered a temporary agency to work at, only to drop their paystub from the place in the process of smashing their way into one of the suites I am responsible for on night shift. So right for a little while, employed and whatnot, then so wrong, fucking up a suite like that. Buddy is lucky he was a bit quicker on his feet than me, or I'd have tackled him.

You should like.. leave a hidden camera somewhere in the house that's pointed at the kitchen and record all day/night to catch them in the act, and then send me the footage and I'll turn it into a short horror film telling them not to make a mess like that again or else, and then I'll send it back to you and you can show it to them... :D
But seriously, I'm sorry to hear your roommates are like that, they need to grow up >_<
My complaint: I work at one of THE BEST jobs in all of Canada, and literally I find out that apparently I might be allergic to the face paint used for the makeup in my house Q.Q which was also a dream house of mine to work in!! and this year I finally got the chance to be able to pick the house I wanted to work in, instead of just being placed in a random one by my managers!!

"Hey, it's quiet at work right now, think I'll take Monday off." "Hey, a client is coming in Monday and were going to spend hours blathering and kissing ass and we need you here for it." ... "I hate you all."
Went to the dentist to have my super old (like, 20 years old) filling replaced. Dentist took an X-ray and discovered that there is a more pressing one between that tooth and the next one, so I should get that done first. I have been having some cold sensitivity and that is the cause of it, so it is a good idea to have it done. Only... they didn't book enough time (because were were going to do something less intensive originally) so I didn't get anything done. I did have to pay $46 for the x-ray and exam though... and I go in next Thursday for the filling. It will cost $322. T____T At least I have a credit card with a limit high enough to be able to cover that. *sigh*
... And I will still have to get the thing I wanted to get done originally done, but later on since I won't want to rack the card right up to the limit.
I got to go to the hospital today, because I couldn't drink liquids for two days. I just kept throwing 'em up. I get there, get plugged in to an IV so I can get saline and anti-nauseants, and we figure out I'm allergic to the iron supplements I'm taking. It's a brand I've never taken before, so I guess I'll go back to my old, more expensive brand. I'm pretty miffed that I was vomiting for two days because of a bloody supplement.
Anyway, two hours and two litres of saline later, I'm back home nommin' on seven-grain bread, only vomited once since and that was mostly carsickness (momma drove me, gotta love moms! She also bought me ginger-ale and gatorade <3).
I procrastinated some bonus work too long and now I don't have nearly enough time to even get it completed to sub-par standards v.v
Find a crack in my front tooth, dentist vist tomorrow, goodbye savings... :C
When I was cleaning my room last time, I tossed a packet of Uncle Bens microwave rice into the kitchen, intending to put it into my pantry. It sort of got shoved half under the side of the fridge (that is as far as it could go) and I kept forgetting to pick it up.
Last night on my way through the kitchen, I noticed a pot cooking on the stove. I was curious, so I looked inside (making sure my roommates were not burning their food as they sometimes do). Curiously, it was broccoli & cheese flavored Uncle Bens rice... the same type as the one I kept forgetting on the floor. I looked by the fridge and my packet was gone. I checked in my pantry to make sure I didn't have one there. I only had one of that flavor and it wasn't in there, so that could only mean that the rice on the stove was mine.
Later on, the rice was finished and most of it had been taken out of the pot and the pot was left on the stove. I put a note on the whiteboard that said "Did someone move my rice from the floor by the fridge?" and then a bit later I came out again and the pot was mysteriously gone from the kitchen completely. I looked in the garbage can and the empty packet was folded up and partially hidden under some things. That is odd, since usually my roommates just chuck things on top. They don't even make an effort to push down the things that are already in there to make room for more. So that means there was an attempt to hide the evidence.
I took out the packet and put it on the counter near the whiteboard. I went out just now (they are at work now) and the girl wrote on the board "You seriously went into the garbage to get the wrapper? I bought that rice at the dollar store!"
... Ok, so she has NEVER had Uncle Bens rice at this house before, there are no other packets in her cupboard (who buys only one rice at a dollar store?), and the only broccoli/cheese rice I have is mysteriously missing... yet this packet was hers? I call bullshit. If she was seriously hungry enough to steal the rice (and I know she has money... she makes a little more than twice what I do in a month) I wouldn't have cared since it only cost me $1.25, but it is the lying that pisses me off. She could have just said "Oh, sorry I didn't realize it was yours because it wasn't in your cupboard. I will get you a new one!" and it would have been fine.
How can I trust someone that steals from me and lies to me about it when I obviously know the truth?
Tools who don't know how to react to a wasp. Pro-tip, idiot: It's not "swat at it and cower", ignore the buzz-bug and it'll ignore you. It's harmless until you fuck with it. It's not harmless when you do fuck with it; Chances are, in a crowd, you won't be the one stung, except maybe by some chastisement from your fellow irritated human beings. No love.
@Zenia - Arwhh... Who would steal $1.25 of rice? .w.
That's pretty redundant.. if someone were to steal something, and lie about it, wouldn't they take a slice of cake or dessert or something of the likes? .w. -steals a penny- Bwahaha~! >:3
But anyways, my ... acquaintance (or enemy...)... has recently taken to trying to best me at EVERYTHING, then infer that she's better than me... oh yeah, she likes to stab me... with a sharp pencil/pen.. I have scars on my arm... Then, when she gets a horrible mark, and KNOWS it, she goes and finds ANY EXCUSE (when peer-marking.. she always gets my paper...) to make me lose marks v.v
She's costing me a B in English... v.v

To look on the bright side ... you can get some things fixed on the car???
Are you alright?
zenia asks, "How can I trust someone that steals from me and lies to me about it when I obviously know the truth?"
Look at it another way. You left the package of rice on the floor long enough that it would seem to be abandoned.
So it was fair game for your roommate to pick it up, cook and eat it -- especially after you carped about her leaving the kitchen so messy a week or two ago. Then by confronting her about it, you put her into defensive mode, where to admit what she did would be losing face to you. So she lied to get out of the situation of being cornered which you put her in.
What I see here is a personality type conflict, not something you should lose all trust in your roommate over.
Maybe next time you go shopping, buy an extra packet of rice for your roommate and give it to her, since she seems to like it so much?
Friggin' doctors that refuse to listen when you try to talk to them and just talk over you repeatedly because THEY KNOW BETTER about your health than you do.
Yes, I know my blood pressure's high, I know I need to lose some more weight, but here's some things you need NO NEED TO TALK THE DOCTOR KNOWS BEST HERE'S YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS oh the last doctor suggested changing your dosage if the BP stayed up well okay we can do that BUT I STILL KNOW BEST.

This reminds me of the time that one our tenants moved out of the house without weeks notice, on top of that she stole $2400 of rent money, and made it seem that I took and spent the rent money.....
My complaint:
I went to party last night, and I was challenged to a dance off, during some my moves I pulled a muscle near my "private" area. It hurts so much DX
lol It was on the floor for two days and half under the fridge by my bedroom door (not even near where they usually go). Hardly long enough to be considered abandoned. And you think that not only is it ok that she took it (if it is not yours, you are not allowed to eat it) but that I should actually buy her more of it? That is ridiculous.

There wasnt any damage to the car; just a couple of scratches on the bumper, all superficial, which I'm grateful for. Plus I already got the window fixed which was my biggest concern with it anyhow. I've got a bit of whiplash though. The boys both appear to be fine.
Zenia, I think the point Spuug was trying to make was instead of harbouring all this ill will over every little thing your room mates do, maybe try a peace offering. And I would consider something left for two days under the fridge as abandoned. Though if called out on it I probably wouldn't have lied. Anyway, you're probably scaring them/intimidating them, which is probably why they lied.
I can't see how I intimidate them. I barely ever see them or talk to them and they never listen to me.
But I guess this means that almost everything of theirs in the kitchen can be considered abandoned. You guys should see it. It is almost as bad as it was the last time I took pictures of it, and some of their dishes are STILL outside on the porch from when I put them out there.

Oh no! Not to severely injured to come to Howl though, right? ....also. Did you win?
I have the biggest complaint. Friday night my school got torched by some a-hole playing with fireworks outside near an undercover outdoor storage cage with propane tanks in it. The say one room is pretty much completely toast and there's structural damage to surrounding areas, not to mention smoke damage. I'm just praying it wasn't the art room and my projects are okay.

I have a bad headache. It is probably because my scalp is all greasy. I should go have a shower. I had better turn the heat up in the house though 'cause I would be super cold after getting out of the water. XD
Next Iron Chef starts tomorrow on Food Network Canada, but it starts tonight in the US. So I have to ignore 80% of my twitter feed until tomorrow night at 11.
Also, my entire right side hurts... stupid broken body >.<
I feel for you there, Carthage. Weather lately has had my reworked joints screaming at me. On top of that, the damn transit bus I was on-board on Friday smacked into the rear end of an SUV. SUV driver's fault, idiot pulled out in front of the bus. Didn't stop Newton from having his way with me, though; Got tossed into one of the bars, and my ribs are good and bruised. Hurts a bit to breathe sometimes. Better than the one lady who took a facer into the door divider, though.
Things to complain about huh? ... hmm well i got one.. one of my favourite shows of all time is "Misfits" Its a show from the UK... brand new season on today but guess who cant watch it because its UK only >.> *points to myself* This guy right here! D: its REALLY frustrating...
Yeah, I sympathise. Region-lockout is a bitch.
I forget way too much stuff, even when it's important. :-\
I saw a guy collecting donations for remembrance day poppies. So i put some change in and grabbed one, then asked if I could grab one for Jesters too, since he was home sick.
The guy replied, and I quote "Go for it. The sooner I get rid of these things, the sooner I can get out of here."
I felt sick afterwards. And insulted. He was in a Lion's Veterans uniform and everything. jerk.
Owww!
Darn non-inertial frames of reference!
Hopefully none of your ribs are cracked.
Sick on Old Hallow's Eve... sons of bitches... :(
My boss gets on my nerves sometimes.
If there is a little work left at 5pm on my last day of the week (typically Wednesday) then she says it is ok if I stay late to complete it. That way I don't have to come all the way in (it takes almost an hour on the bus) to do around 2 hours of work. However, it seems that no matter what I choose to do... I get in trouble for it.
A couple of weeks ago, when 5pm rolled around, there was 1.75 hours of work left, so I decided to stay and do it. The first day of the next week, my boss was all: "We didn't talk about it... so you should have just come back on Thursday. Even though it was less than two hours (that is the minimum she has to pay me for) you would have been here to give estimates so the customers didn't have to wait!" ... there was ONE estimate that came in that day.
Then last week, she insisted that the head tailor and I get two certain projects finished, and if they took until 5pm that I should stay and finish the rest of my work, especially since I had to go to the dentist in the morning. So the projects did take until 5pm. That left me with all of the "medium level difficulty" items to prepare AND sew. It took 3 additional hours, so I left at 8pm. I had thought about going home and coming back after my dentist appointment, but since she made it clear to me that I should stay... I did. So I came in this morning and she was all: "You should have just gone home at 5pm and came back the next day!" ... BUT YOU TOLD ME TO STAY!!!! I bet if I had gone home, she would have been mad at me. I can't win.
Oh, and there was this hoodie with a furry lining that I was supposed to work on last Wednesday. The corner of the front 'kangaroo pocket' was coming off because of poor manufacturing. She brought it back to me, pointed out the pocket, and told me to do it the good way (more expensive). I did. I swear 1000% I did. I would stake my life on it. Well, apparently the other pocket was coming off too. I probably should have checked, but unless it is pointed out to me or it is written on the work order... I don't do other repairs and I don't look for them. I told my boss "I swear that I totally repaired that. The thread is still on my table. There is absolutely no way I didn't do it." and I told her exactly what I did. She was like: "So... you are calling me a liar? Because I saw it!" ... I wasn't calling her a liar, but she was sure calling me one. So I said that maybe the other pocket was coming off too. She said that she didn't even look to see if it was. ... So when even she doesn't check for something, I am supposed to? And if she didn't check for it when the customer dropped it off, then that means that he didn't pay for the second repair to be done. So why did I get in trouble?
GYAAAAAAAH!!!!!
I'm having one of the worst chronically tiring/dizzying sensations ever to have struck me for the past two days.
So tired.... after... B-Ball.. first practice... -collapses- Blaaaaaaah...
My monitor just died for good. Waah! It was being all weird earlier, when I would turn it on, the power would cycle at least a dozen times before the screen would display. So instead of turning it off, I would just let the screensaver run (I used to have it auto-shutoff after an hour) and that seemed to work. But then today I just got a glimpse of the display and it died for good. Well, it started to power cycle over and over and then the little 'on light' faded out and then the monitor stopped doing anything at all.
*sigh* I already have to spend $322 I don't really have to get some dental work done tomorrow. Now I have to buy a ($130) monitor too. I am on the laptop right now... but I can't do art on it.
I hate unexpected expenses!
^ I was about to say I was really impressed you could still post!
Complaint: Found out the school that took us in has a lot of gangs, which actually makes me pretty concerned for some of my alt peers as they look big and intimidating, more so then other teenagers. and also the Principal from their school doesn't want our smokers to smoke in their designated one so they made a new as far away from the school as possible. Oh also we're not supposed to leave our designated wing/bunker thingy with out staff accompaniment or something so for a lot of us it goes to having free range of our own building to feeling like prisoners. This disruption is going to take a lot of getting used to -_- fml
sounds similar to when windsor house moved to the lucas center, I see lots of troublemaking in the near future
I was straightening my hair, got distracted holding hair in place and went grab the straightener, slid my hand in-between the hot plates instead of the base of the straightener...

I'm having one of the worst chronically tiring/dizzying sensations ever to have struck me for the past two days.
This for me too, lately.
Sometimes I cant even bend down to pick something up without feeling like I'm almost gonna pass out from a massive headrush/dizziness, Ive had a couple other people I know complain about this aswell :-\

Oh nooo, awww D: are you okay for the most part? >.<
Speaking of straightening, I'm always completely terrified and nervous to hell whenever my mom straightens my hair, and why? Because one time when she was straightening my hair, she burnt a small patch of my forehead with the hot plates, she pressed it too close to my forehead. It hurt so muuuch Q~Q

Yes I'm fine there aren't even burn marks even though it was the worse burn I ever got on them lol *shrugs*
I'm also terrified of my mom straightening mine because, even though my hair is straightened, she manages to make it stay all puffy, so it's like "straightened afro" ? wtf
And now for the suck news: I slept 12 + hours yet I'm still tired, and howl is happening today =(
My roommates are so inconsiderate.
A few minutes ago Aja comes come with a couple of friends and comes into the kitchen to throw something away. Earlier, I noticed that they had thrown so much stuff in there, that it was threatening to all fall on the floor. The lid of the can wouldn't even close. I ended up tying the bag closed, hoping one of them would change out the bag (because why should I always do it?)... but instead I hear her go "UGGGGGH! OMG This is so IRRITATING!" and then she rants about it for a bit. I think she was sort of showing off for her friends, but whatever. Has she ever taken out the kitchen garbage? No.
What about all these dishes that are STILL DIRTY!? The big side of the sink is totally unusable because their dishes are overflowing. They did wash a few things, but they never took them out of the drainer, so that is full. The counter that the sink is in is also covered in dishes. There are still dirty dishes out on the porch from a couple of weeks ago... and instead of cleaning them, they put them in a box.
Now they are filling the house with pot smoke even though I have asked them several times to at least burn some (nag champa) incense when they do it so I can't smell the pot. But they aren't even supposed to smoke in the house. They signed an agreement with the landlady, and 'no smoking in the house' is one of the things they agreed to. She even specifically told them not to smoke pot in the house when I brought it up.
Man, I get no respect around here. I am gonna stay until I get my tax return in March sometime, then I am going to find a new place. I don't want to live here anymore if this is how it is going to work.

Sounds like you have grounds to have the landlady evict them?
I think I will bring it up to her again. Although, if she evicts them, she (apparently) has to evict me too since we all came into this together. She was lenient on them last time... probably because she is a pot smoker too.
That would only apply if you are both on the same lease agreement. If there are separate leases, she can't evict you for them failing to meet their agreement.
Nope. We all signed the same piece of paper.
Dammit, that would mean they void it, including your rental agreement. However, you could try and negotiate a new agreement with her. Don't see why she can't remove them and keep you, then find new renters to fill the gap.
That is what I wanted to do when we had our meeting with the landlady. She said she'd back me up... but then she didn't. I like the landlady and all, but if she goes back on her word, do I want to stick with her?
Probably not, especially with dipshit roommates like that. Sucks :/
I wish I could afford a place on my own. Maybe if my previous boss picks me up two days a week for the large work he has. He offered to employ me to work on windsurfing and sailboat sails with him. That would help out my income.
1br places start out at $600/mo over here, but I can't afford that with just the job I am already working.
An entire washload of white clothes (My embroidered labcoat and two silk-blend dress shirts included) ruined outright because of a pen that somehow ended up in the load. FFFFF--
>.> things to complain about... how about how annoying it is to wait for packages to come in the mail? x3 The wait is terrible even if its just a few days D:.. Then again, i have trouble waiting for stuff so.. well yea maybe its just me >.>
Mailman... Grrrr!
You know what really grinds my gears? Finding friends, or people who are interested in similar things.
Specifically with dance it has just irked me a tad. It just seems impossible to find people who like it, or at least as much as me.
GRRRR, so the package finally gets here... and they throw on another $23 of taxes n crap like that. They dont accept cash, so now the package is being sent to the post office in delta... DELTA.. COME ON!! Ive waited weeks! Now i cant even get it cuz i have no ride. This sucks.. honestly, ii HATE the post office... urrrrgggggg

For me it's finding horse people who actually love horses for the animal, and not just the sport, so therefore treat them decently, and don't have a stick up their ass. Seriously, its like horse people = angry snobby assholes, 90% of the time. what the fuck?
Owwiee~!! QAQ I burn'deded my finger....~ *sniffle* Q^Q
AUUUUUUGH!!! My top left wisdom tooth hurts so much. When I had the work done last week, they put a clamp on the wisdom tooth to stretch the rubber dam in my mouth. It must have damaged the tooth (I can feel what seems like a hole on the outside of it) and now it is almost throbbing.
I called the dentists office to see about an extraction, but my dentist wants me to try doing a warm salt water rinse twice a day for the next few days to see if it gets any better. I don't think it will though. I think it needs to come out.
My carpal tunnel is attempting to persuade me that my arm is on fire.

I was working on a picture, and somehow hit F2 which I had set up to resize batches of pictures (from my digital camera) using Actions. One of the steps is NOT 'save' ... but it resized the picture to smaller than I wanted it and saved it and then closed it. I can't get it back the way it was. I do have a separate .SAI file from when I did the lineart (I do the lineart and save it as SAI, but then save a copy as PSD to color in Photoshop)... but it is completely uncolored. I will have to start the coloring all over again. I just spent like... three solid hours on this coloring. T______T
Trying to actually have a conversation about the OWS movement with someone who is a spoiled douche and thinks if you were not born privileged then you deserve what you got if you are poor or are struggling regardless of how hard you try. *face palm* I need to stop trying to talk sense to stupid people in other words. It just frustrates you.

I've done similar frequently, Zenia, where I'm working on a UV-diffuse painting layer, then I go and do something moronic like save over it with a working diffuse layer while it's still open. An action that Modo "helpfully" does not notice, completely buggering both layers simultaneously when both fail to save.
I hate it when people accuse me of cheating on Scrabble games because I am beating them. I have been playing these types of games for 20 years and there are some words you just know, and some you pick up. Want to know why this one thinks I am cheating? I played words like "TIKI" and "SEABED" and I have more points than him.
Today's talk with immigration really put a downer on the day and having to deal with koodo customer service also raises my blood pressure something fierce. So not only do I have to leave the country earlier than I'd hoped, I also have a new phone that's only use right now is as a paper weight.

My permit is expiring soon and my request for an extension was rejected, because I lack the needed proof of funds for the renewal. By law I have to leave in January next year. How long I will be gone, that I don't know. Could be a few months, could be a year. It all depends on how quickly I can save up the required amount to return.

Selkit ~ Have you considered surgery? I had both of mine released a couple monthes ago, and it's like having a brand new pair of hands. Also, the down time is no where as long or as bad as I thought it would be, and you have some use of the hand at 48 hours after surgery.

Now the snow is starting to come around, and I have to do shoveling chores DX
Wow. The hypocrisy my roommates show is astounding.
The big side of the sink and the counters are all full of dirty dishes. The drainer is full of clean dishes. The end of the counter has recycling all over it. The stove top is caked with burned on food and has dirty dishes on it. None of this is my mess.
Now, this morning I was up at 5am to use the washroom, so in my half-asleep state I gathered up the garbage and put it out at the curb since the collection truck comes at 8am. I forgot to put a new bag in the kitchen bin... all day, but big deal. There was some junk mail on the only clean part of the counter, plus someones paper towel (not mine).
I just went out to use the bathroom and Joel had written on the board something like "IF YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE, FINISH THE JOB!" and "STOP LEAVING YOUR GARBAGE ON THE COUNTER!" ... Ok, he never takes out the garbage, so he should shut the f*** up. Also, the junk mail belongs to everyone and no one. I left it there in case anyone else wanted it since there are coupons and stuff.
I left notes back (saying the junk mail is everyones and that he loves to point out my mistakes, but doesn't care that there are dirty dishes laying about for WEEKS, and that he should get a little perspective) and just heard him out there. I wonder if he responded. I am gonna poke my head out there. ... Aaaaand, he read it and promptly slashed his fingers through everything I wrote to erase bits of my messages like he was raging. XD
I just emailed my landlady to tell her that in the spring I am going to move out.
I was unable to get snow tires on my car before it started snowing today, D:
Ha! Just got this email from my landlady...
Yeah, that sounds totally understandable. But, it means they will be leaving too. So, you might want to give them the heads up as well.
Muwahaha! If I leave, they have to leave too. Justice! Now, will I be nice and tell them well in advance... or only two months notice?
Go Zenia. You show 'em! :D
There's still not enough snow tonight. 'Cause once snow hits UBC, I'll probably go nuts.
This is the best canine metaphor that I can come up with in terms of a pic. I guess you could use your photoshop skills to change the leaves into a heap of snow.

Friggin' precipitation in general. You lot don't have to patrol around eight times a night in that crap for twenty minutes at a stretch. Well, most of you don't, anyways.
-WHINING AHEAD- :popcorn:
I got my computer back, finally! I had to go pick it up from the UPS warehouse 'cause with being in an apartment and all the guy could never make it inside to drop it off xD;;
But
They did not save /all/ the files I asked them too. ): So I lost all my recent art including a huuuge pic I was doing. It had a really nice background that I was actually proud of, I kinda drew my brother into the pic as well, idk I just loved it and it was ALMOST finished. and now it's goooone. :( :(
And they did not save my tablet drivers like I asked them too. I asked because I no longer have the discs for it, nor do I have the disc to properly install my little bluetooth thingie.... So I don't know if the bluetooth is just not working properly now or if it's because it's not installed but it's not detecting that my tablet is even there. So IDK what to do, there....
I don't even have a mouse LOL D: so what I've done so far I've just had to navigate with the keyboard. aaaaah
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU just about sums it up.
Um but on the upside I -think- the wireless may be working now? Idk hopefully it'll all be going smoothly now.
I really don't know how to get my bluetooth insert to respond or pick up on my tablet. u_u
I do not want to use this laptop anymooooooore!
What was a routine graphics driver update turned into utter chaos and disappointment.
Something went wrong during the update causing Windows to crash, and rendered it impossible to boot. Tried fixing the broken device driver to no success so now I get to re-install Windows again - such a pain ;-;
Thankfully only the OS and some small programs were on this SSD (which I backed up afterwards anyways), but I still have to re-install just about everything :/
just once, i would like to have a decent discussion with some one about religion without them getting offended at my different view point. Especially if they're the ones who brought it up. FYI, just because you didn't know that your religious group was responsible for something way back when, DOESN'T MEAN it didn't happen. More specifically, just because you didn't know that wicca = witch craft, and it was the Christians who started the witch hunts and saying that witches were devil worshippers, causing that belief to still be followed today (in a mainly Christian-founded country), DOESN'T MEAN it never happened. Just because you're too lazy, or ignorant, to look into the history of your own religion and it's impact on cultures around the world, doesn't mean there wasnt one. And lastly, when i end a damn paragraph with a :P, there's usually a little bit of sarcasm in the statement I made, just like, oh, I dunno, 99% of the freakin internet.
just to re-cap; Christians have a reputation of being pushy, and trying to push their religion on to other people, whether they want it or not. Just because a person, as a Christian, does not know the history of Christianity, and how they converted all the druids, or else murdered them, doesn't mean it didn't happen. And just because a person DOES know these things, and disagrees with them, does not mean the person is not a Christian him or herself. Nor does it mean that they blame/hate modern Christians.

The main problem is you talking to modern day "religious" types about anything (insert troll face here) But to be honest, most of today's Christians are those born-again ones who simply run around shoving it in everyone's faces, they are like the ADD suffering furry herms of the real world that way. Just not happy unless everyone the meet agrees with them and pats them on the back about how "right" they are.
:p I almost feel the need to repost the entire conversation here. She's all like "not all christians are pushy, and it sucks that everyone thinks they are, but you know, they have a good reason to be pushy." to which i replied "thats like saying a racist has a good reason to be racist." she didn't get it.
in other complainty news, I seem to have woken up in a bad mood. 80% of the things I read are pissing me off/making me think people are stupid (or maybe they really are and it has nothing to do with my mood...) Which means it's going to be a long day. :/
I may get glared at by a member of the community for saying this, but to my experience, EmoFox, anyone actually seriously practicing any Abrahamic faith is treading a fine line between hypocrisy and madness. In unrelated news, a complaint from the weasel!
My last contract job is being incredibly slow on paying me out. I'm done working for them, I've turned in my work, so wai no pay, bawse? The 15th came and went.
I'm waiting on my roommates to pay me their part of the utility bills. I always have the amount that they owe written on the whiteboard around the 7th of the month and ask them to have it to me by the 15th. The cable is due on the 8th, so I just pay it all at that time out of my own pocket, while the gas/hydro need to be paid on the 20th. I figure it is less headache if I just ask them for the money for all the bills at the same time.
Why are they always late? Usually the excuse is "I don't get paid until *date*!" ... let's use this month as an example... if you get paid on the 4th and the 18th and know for a fact that I want the money on the 15th... wouldn't you save some money from the 4ths paycheque? You'd know roughly what to set aside, since hydro is every other month and makes the bills higher. In the summer/fall the hydro months are around $65 and the non-hydro months are about $25.
WHY AM I STILL WAITING?!?!?!?!?!?! I am not sure when the guy roommates payday is/was, but the girl just had hers on the 18th. Did she give me money? No. Did she buy a bus ticket to go do something in Victoria? Yes.
FFFFFFFFF- I've had to pay cable and gas out of my own pocket (plus the $19 that the guys downstairs had to chip in and are never late with). It isn't a terribly big deal on non-hydro months such as this... but when they pull it on the more expensive months, I can't handle it even more. Especially in winter, 'cause gas is $200 and hydro is $256. Cable is almost over with its introductory cheap price, so it is going up to $90.
Sometimes I hate being the responsible one.
Recently I was hit with the bitter realization that I am a slut. :'(
I know I'm walking in the no man's land between the fervent religious and the fervent atheist trenches, but in all honesty, the thing that i have to complain about is both. Why can't we all just get along, right?
Oh well, hypocrisy and madness is what drives the world, that's for sure. It's pretty pharmakonical #EnglishLiteratureMajor

When religion stops trying to legislate itself through civil law into ruling my life and decisions, whether or not I believe, I'll get along with it. Until then, it can sod off back to the Bronze Age.
And now another complaint! Electrical breakers that are older than I am that won't reset, suck! Especially when I'm trying to finish off the end-of-day auditing package. Grr.
The Internet vs Spelling and Grammar. Seriously, unless it's a text message or a Tweet, why can't people just write things out? Hell, most web browsers have built in spell checkers that are triggered while you type!
That and being sick and still having to make dinner, do dishes, and take care of the toddler that learned to share his cold with me. :(
Agreed, Zen! Even in a chat room I don't care too much, but on a forum/journal/comment/etc you have time to think out your contribution and make spelling adjustments.
I guess that could be understandable, as I didn't grow up in a place with religion as a comparatively major influence. Oh, and my educational stance of postmodernism.
I accidentally soaked, binder notes, and all with an improperly sealed bottle of water.
In addition, I spilled my bloody pitcher of water over my keyboard earlier today.
In addition, it's going to rain for the rest of the week.
I know lightning doesn't strike twice, but for me, it struck me thrice in terms of things I can complain about that are water related.
My room is so effing hot. I am going to have to have a talk with my roommates... we only have one thermostat that controls the entire house. It should not go past 10 (15 if it is especially cold). If they are cold, they should wear socks/sweater. If I have to open my bedroom window 'cause it is so hot... that is counter intuitive. And it isn't just because I have extra fat that keeps me warmer than them. It is legitimately because my room is hotter. Last winter I dragged the guy roommate into my room to show him. I guess he just forgot.
That or I am making them pay more of the gas bill than me, not splitting it evenly.
Attempting to breathe a mixture of flying tree limbs, pine needles, leaves, rain and frosty air, sucks. Know that windstorm last night? Yeah. I was trooping around in the middle of that crap, getting pelted with flying debris. I gave up on my umbrella after the second time it got yanked inside out in the span of a minute (That and I'd have to have held it sideways against the wind for it to be effective). What's worse, is that I have now been woken up by two completely rubbish phone-calls well before my usual 4:30 PM wakeup time. I am a grumpy little ball of mustelid, a toothy little ball of pissy ferret...
D:
The bloody windy weather is what's stopping me from heading outside to University Village to get myself a $1 slice of pizza from Fresh Slice. :-\
Mmmm Pizza! Though, I like the chicken place at University Village (you probably mean a different UV though) more. The jumbo strips are tasty!
Seems like it, I meant the one in UBC, aka in Vancouver. xP

Two fellows in my lecture class couldn't shut their own gossipy trash of their own business. It's become to a point where I get pretty damn distrated. I was raising my hand and giving my point of view on the lecture material (not the guys in the back), as these two became progressively louder in their whispers. I turned around and gave them the death glare for two seconds before returning to my point.
Damn, in retrospect, I would've singled them out. A death glare alone wouldn't suffice. What happened to "respecting the social order of the class" itself anyway?
I just cleaned up my roommates' mess in the kitchen on Friday and it is already a disaster. What is so hard about rinsing your dishes and putting them in the dishwasher? Putting them in the sink is NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
my PS2 got knocked off the entertainment stand, and now the disc tray doesn't open. I've taken it apart and tried everything i can think of. So it looks like I'll either have to replace the disc drive, or get a new playstation. :/ Emofox is emo.

Okay, so I have a friend in Utah, and he told me today that a new law was passed where you can't talk to anybody under the age of 18, whether you be friends or not. And I think that's pretty fucked up in all honesty. First of all, I think there should be an age limit as to when that begins, considering he's only 2 years older than me and I'm only 20, plus he's a furry, so quite a few of his friends are either exactly or a bit younger than 18, and second of all, it's not fair to him or anybody else in that state. He had to delete over 30 of his friends on MSN alone and he's really upset. That really blows my lid. I feel so bad for him right now. D: <

Okay, so I have a friend in Utah, and he told me today that a new law was passed where you can't talk to anybody under the age of 18, whether you be friends or not. And I think that's pretty fucked up in all honesty. First of all, I think there should be an age limit as to when that begins, considering he's only 2 years older than me and I'm only 20, plus he's a furry, so quite a few of his friends are either exactly or a bit younger than 18, and second of all, it's not fair to him or anybody else in that state. He had to delete over 30 of his friends on MSN alone and he's really upset. That really blows my lid. I feel so bad for him right now. D: <
So utterly unconstitutional it's not even funny, if it's true. Take it with a grain of salt, though; It may just be another one of these "Adult/child predator online acts" that tends to evaporate under the slightest whiff of judicial challenge.
lol So Joel finally saw the note I wrote up the other day about how our landlord came by and was disgusted with the place and how I said that I was thinking about moving in spring, and how they'd have to move too. Also about how nothing we talked about in the meeting has become any better. Also that I said that I can tell they hate cleaning, but if they are both willing to pay $50 more in rent per month (so I pay $100 less), I will do all the cleaning from now on.
He wrote back and flipped out. He claimed that he did dishes 4 times this month (he did some 2 times, and left a bunch more just in the sink in hot soapy water and left them so I had to drain the cold gross water later) and how he was the ONLY ONE that did dishes... excuse me? I do my dishes the same night or the night after I dirty them. Unless I can't get to the sink or I am feeling particularly pissed off at their mess (but then of course if I leave one thing out for more than one day, I get notes calling it disgusting).
He even brought out the old "It is a two way street!" line. APSKJALSDKLKDFJSDJI!!!!! Can't he see the mess that they always have everywhere? Don't they know how little they actually do? JEEBUS.
So, I cleaned the kitchen AGAIN, and wrote back why I am mad. I also said that if they can actually help keep the place clean for the next month, I will drop the $50 thing. If they can't, I will ask again and if they both aren't on board, I am leaving.
*sigh*

I'd like to know what that law is actually called. I think there's a large misunderstanding of the law their ... but then again, it is Utah. I can't find anything online that's related to this law at all. Also, how in the world would they enforce it? There would literally be an impossible age gap in communication ... couldn't hire teens for jobs, parent's can't talk to their kids, etc. There's more details here, and I'd love to know what they are.

if that is true that would be stupid that means he couldn't have any older friends, his parents or teachers wouldn't be able to communicate with him and how the hell would that be enforced? that is just stupid like how the US is trying to censor the internet which again doesn't come to a surprise the goverment does stupid things sometimes which is why I hate politics and politions
example prior to the 2010 Olympics all of our tax money that we could have spent upgrading Whistler's rec center which was designed to be later upgraded and through politics they decide to build an Olympic sized rink out in Penticton? I mean Really? that makes a whole lot a sence seeing as anything "Olympic" is a 5hour drive away from there

Haha, no worries about the ranting xD It's apparently online. He didn't really tell me much detail about it, except that he asked his family more than 2x and they confirmed. Though it is a bit suspicious that they never told him the name of the law.. I feel so bad for him because he's still feeling really bad about having to delete over 30 of his contacts apparently.. :/
His parents have expertly bullshit him, probably.
Politics. Just politics. Or should it be polietics?
It sucks that politics is the pharmakon that drives any nation.

people. Specifically, rude people, or people who think they're better than everyone else. So, yeah, people in general. Like fuck. get the stick out of your ass. Use your brain. Listen to what the fuck you're saying, and give your head a shake. See if you can knock your brain back into its proper position and start thinking again.
If I say i'll fucking pay you back on monday, then it is completely uncalled for, for you to say "..if you pay me back by then!" on the preceding sunday. Fer fuck sakes. >_>
People who camp in the left lane on the highway and never move over no matter how big of a traffic jam they are causing >.<
Pervasive, persistent depression. The energy to complain's a hard thing to come by right now. Really, energy or effort for much of anything right now is something of an uphill battle.
The cops came knocking at my house. Again. .w. (Sure has been a while, hasn't it... >~>)
Sorry, no, they didn't just knock, they did a few good bangs, and scared the living crap outta me and my kitty precious while we were in the kitchen. (entrance right next to kitchen; I live in a one floor apartment)
Apparently someone outside my apartment got shot by a frikkin BB gun/rifle... .w.
The only reason why they came knocking at my door is because a witness claimed that a window from our house was open and then slammed shut, so supposedly someone from my house did it. Hmm.... considering my stepdad used to own a BB/rifle gun, and now he claims to the cops that he doesn't have one, and in all honesty, my stepdad's known to do some pretty f**ked up shit... hmmmm......... kind of seems a little suspicious... >~>

Sounds like an average day...
Yesterday just driving through town, only stopping once to quickly pick some stuff up, god I just wanted out of there cause of the sheer amount of dicks and mindless me me drones IE the boomers :P within the span of 15 mins I got to see jay-walkers blocking cars and not caring, when I went to go into a store I was walking behind this old man and he just let the door slam in my face despite him knowing I was there and coming in. In the store was no better for pushy people.. Last but certainly not least I had a veteran driver cut me and a truck off when he decided to swerve all the way from the slow lane to a left turning lane which I was entering...
People wonder why I despise the elderly, its just 6/10 of the ones I meet here are just plain rude, can't say please and thank you, just "give me/ I want", can't hold doors for anyone but expect everyone to do it for them. They are just rude to anyone who isn't their age, even when said person is serving their food or ringing in their groceries. Not to mention the dozen close calls I have had driving cause they refuse to follow the rules of the road... I cannot blindly give respect to people who clearly have none. Getting old doesn't equate to being wise and revered especially when their motto is "ignorance is bliss" it just makes you a 5yr old in a 60yr olds body.

Time to write my English essay....On the count of 1, 2, 3-Oh I need to eat breakfast first, then lunch, then blahblahblahprocrastinationblah. It's hard to tune your mind into work when you don't have a schedule.
Been having some minor issues that have been bothering about my fursuit maker recently.
Originally things were good, but over the last couple of months she's mistaken who I was once before for another person, is trying something 'new' for her fursuit which Im now worrying about looking not like the style I originally liked of hers (yet I told her she could if she would like so thats my bad), and also my recent question to her regarding pricing/getting a WIP image was mixed up again.
She had missed about 100 dollars from me trying to reconfirm earlier a price, and only recently brought it up, and even after settling with that payment (whole suit is payed for), she ignored the part of my e-mail so far for any update pictures of the suit/pieces.
I understand people are busy, but a few of these things are disheartening, stressful, and it is a lot of money.
Computer just crapped out on me.. 2nd computer ive lost within a year.. first one got stolen this one just.. idk.. stopped working :S cheaper to get a damn new one with all the deals on at futureshop.. ._. but guess who has no money again?

I'm tired as hell for the entire day. It seems like following a school schedule would actually keep me on the ball after all.
YouTube, having gone through another round of unnecessary graphical changes, has omitted the Friends option, which means that the 250 Friends that I spend a month accumulating for the VancouFur channel have all disappeared.
Ugh. So I went to bed around midnight. Not long after I was asleep, I was jarred awake because Joel and his friends were shouting/screaming and slamming doors. I managed to get back to sleep and then was woken up by Aja at 2am because she decided to... get this... cook (so microwave beeping and dishes clanging around) and do laundry (the machine is SO LOUD). I came out of my room and saw her and was like "Seriously? Do you mind? I am trying to sleep! That is so loud! Mind doing it in the morning please?!" and she was all "Sorry... I didn't think it was so loud." ... But did she stop the machine? No. So I had to wait until it finished the cycle before I could sleep. Oh, and she had friends that were over and decided to shout "BYE AJA!!!!!" as they left and slammed the front door so hard. The doors don't need to be slammed to be closed properly. FFFFF- And of course, then my cat decided to be an asshole this morning and ram into the blinds a few times because he wanted outside, so that woke me up at 7am and now I am awake and can't sleep anymore.
Maybe I can have a nap later.
I even specifically asked Aja to please not have friends over this weekend. Last weekend they were over until laaaaate at night and were excessively noisy and annoying. They have friends over EVERY DAY. Is it really too much to ask for that I can have a weekend that is peaceful?

I hate that I'll tell my friend something and they feel the automatic need to prove me wrong, my sister has it and tried to convince me there was no such thing as steam punk when I talked about an anime I saw.
Acid reflux keeping me awake sucks.
Twisted the hell out of my knee and foot, again. Old pavement + dark conditions + clumsy ferret = Clumsy ferret in a heap with a foot steadily swelling up, hobbling around for the remainder of shift. Bloody *ow*... I honestly feel for my coworkers here; Calling in on short notice is not cool, but between lack of sleep, painkillers, the stress of an extremely unusual event earlier (I won't elaborate further beyond 'police incident' with half a dozen constables), yeah. I need the shift badly, but I'm not going to make it through it right now. >.<
Going to a mall around Christmas time and watching old people try and barter or otherwise be rude to employees just trying to do their job. (wish we could just fine them for being dicks lol)
I love Christmas, but its sorta like a full moon for old people, they seem to be super charged with power of evil. Something about this holiday just magnifies the asshole in middle aged - old people.

I'm having one of those nuclear a-bomb headaches at the moment. It's surprising that I managed to survive my three hour work shift earlier tonight.
my upstairs neighbour. She knows that my cat will go into her apartment and eat her food if she leaves the window open, which she does, because she keeps her cat box on her balcony. Generally, Apollo, the kitty in question, asks to go outside instead of using the litter box. We left in a rush this morning and he got locked out, and went upstairs to eat, because he knows that her window is always open, and that there is food there.
so she calls me to complain that the cat was eating her food again. To which I responded "Well, there's not much I can do when you leave your window open all the time..."
And before anyone says it, I *could* keep my cat inside all the time. i could do that. Except then he would get vengeful. and mean and piss on my clothes and my bed. He's done it before. The cat is not an indoor cat. And don't give me the whole "cats arent like that, maybe he's sick" because he's not. he just likes to go outside, and if he can't, he will piss on my bed. little fucker...

Sounds like you probably need to train your cat properly. I would be annoyed too if someones cat kept coming into my place. This reminds me of my apartment, we are ground floor and in the heat of the summer we get pretty damn warm here, and right outside our window was a smoking table setup... we open our windows to try and cool off, we got nothing but whats of second hand smoke.. The answer isn't for us to keep our windows closed and make our place a sauna.
Just saying. if someone cant even open their windows cause a neighbors cat isn't trained to not do just run around.. its not unreasonable that said person complains.
The thing is, thats the only apartment he goes into. I dont think its a case of him not being trained. I think a lot of the time they mistake him for their cat (because tuxedo black&whitea all look the same) so they're inconsistant in chasing him out.
How does one train a cat not to go somewhere? Cats do whatever they want. XD I am grateful that my cat at least comes to me when I call him. XDD
My complaint...
Cleaning up the kitchen after my roommates again. Well, this time I am leaving all of their garbage. It is strewn all over the floor. >_> This is the second dishwasher load I am putting through. I may have enough dishes for one more after this. *sigh* When they ran out of plates/bowls, they started using whatever containers they could find instead of washing dirty ones. There was stuff dried all over the dirty ones. Oh well, at least when I do dishes, I rinse off the crap on them before they go in the machine. They don't do that, so nothing gets clean.
Also, they had friends over last night (again... they have friends over every night) and they all got HAMMERED. One guy puked AAAAAALL over the bathroom. Aja told me that he cleaned it up, but when I went in there this morning, there is still vomit on parts of the toilet, in the sink (it isn't draining properly), on parts of the floor, one of the rolls of TP is ruined and it is on my package of wipes (I don't like dry TP). UGGGGGGHHHH!!!! My landlady is supposed to be coming over today to try and fix the bathroom sink (it was broken before the vomit) so I sure hope my roommates finish cleaning up in there like I asked them to before she comes.
I hardly slept, and I think I A-bombed the exam today. Not to mention I've got another exam tomorrow. Well, on the bright side it's going to be my last exam tomorrow and I think I can manage it unlike the amount of hieroglyphics I had to go through for several days on the exam today...
Okay, so, my upstairs neighbour cancelled her shaw, because she doesn't work, and she fell behind on her bill and when she gave them a sob story about being sick and being disabled and blah blah blah they said "That sucks, but you still have to pay your bill." Her room mate ordered Telus instead, but they fucked up the installation thing that was supposed to happen today. So she asks if she can borrow my internet for a couple of days while Telus gets their shit together.
We are with shaw. Which means we're subject to the usage cap (which, amazingly, we have yet to go over). They're heavy gamers and downloaders. One of the reasons she fell behind on her shaw bill so bad, was because she's also paying off a $3000 gaming laptop she bought from easy home. They play WoW, have an Xbox Live account (which I'm assuming would use up bandwidth, but I dont have an Xbox so I have no idea), her bf plays a bunch of other MMOs and the room mate who ordered the telus also plays online on their PS3. And they download a LOT of stuff, or so they tell me. The room mate is the only one who actually works, in fact her employers took her to Hawaii for Christmas. So the two of them are at home all day every day, playing games and downloading stuff.
She said she needed the internet to pay her bills via online banking. I asked why she didnt try her phone (HTC Android) she said her phone wouldn't download the flash for online banking. I have an LG Android. We use the same bank. Did I buy that story? no. I asked why she didn't try the library. She said she did but she got kicked out because her 2 year old (who is very clingy) screamed the whole time. Which I also didn't buy, because my 2 year old has been to the library with me a few times, and he gets really excited and runs around screaming while I'm there. Or at least, he's not usually quiet. And I've never been kicked out of the library. Even with him AND Miles (now-five-month-old) crying.
...So i told her no. For one, I don't like being lied to, and for another my internet is slow enough as it is (and I'm not sure why...), and I *really* don't want them playing WoW etc on it.
Does this make me unnecessarily mean? or more importantly... do i *really* care?

I think your picture needs a little more along the lines of
Get a motherfucking job like an adult and pay your bills like a responsible person should.
Paying off a $3000 dollar laptop? Really? how dumb can you be for financing a laptop and pay interest on something you already can't afford in the first place. Duhhhh this is why people are broke.
I seriously didn't know you could finance laptops >.=.> I always bought mine outright.. AFTER saving up money.
Oh, but it gets better; she cant work because she was on blood thinners, because she gets bood clots. She's off the blood thinners now because she's trying to get pregnant. Not even kidding. She can't handle the kid she has, but she wants another one. Alao apparently ADD is grounds for disability. And not having the self control to *not* tell your new boss to shove it is a persistant barrier to employment.
Anyway, where i was originally going with this is, she spends her welfare money terribly, bitches about not being able to afford anything, but she has a fuckin brand new gaming laptop, so does her bf, they have a ps3, an xbox, maintain WoW accounts... but she cant pay her bills on time? I have to admit, it makes me feel better about my irresponsible impulse buys. Especially when you factor in the age difference; i just turned 22 last month. She turns 26 next month.
/rant.
As for financing lapfops, you can from certain companies. The only time i've ever bought a computer was one of my irresponsible impulse buys. Bought it for Jesters because we were gonna be apart for a ouple of months and wouldnt have has means of communication otherwise. I also used my rent money to do so, XD
I financed my laptop from Dell. I just finished paying it off. :)
Ugh. Someone turned the heat up to 25c. Too hot. I have my window open and fan on to cool my room down.

Personally I love christmas, time with my family, the decorations, the lights and yes even SOME of the music lol... but bitter greedy people ruin it. not the "I hate Christmas people" That is completley understandable, but its those people who do decided to "take part" and are sour dicks the whole way through >.=.<
Makes we wanna shove a string of lights in their throat, pull it out their ass and floss them to death lol
._. but.. but i'm a mom... at christmas. T_T DRAKE HATES MEEE!!!! WAAAAHHHH!!!!
no, I'm just kidding, :p I love Christmas. Wish it would snow though. Hope we get snow on Christmas at least.
Christmas wouldn't bother me so much if people would wait until December to start playing music and running Christmas ads, and not in the middle of November.

(Tea-bagging joke here)
So yesterday, a good two days after upstairs neighbour asks for internet usage and I deny her, I post a status on facebook saying "If you want some one to do something for you, you probably shouldn't lie to them." She asks me what its about, if its about her. I answered "just some bull shit some one tried to pull on me" which is technically true. But why would she assume it was about her unless she was lying?
Yes, i know I'm obsessive, i'm sorry. :x
Two words: bloody jetlag, as well as how 13C in HK actually feels colder than 2C in Vancouver. Brrrr.....

I suppose this might be an upper in perspective, or a downer, but I honestly wish I'd spent the last three Christmasses away from family. I wouldn't have had to watch three of them die. My only complaint about this holiday season is that I can't spend it quietly alone, I have to work through it.

While I can understand how that would be sad, at the same time i think I'd rather spend Christmas with dying relatives than not. I would be more likely to regret not being with my family in that kind of situation. Additionally, *hugs* this time of year must be hard on you. Wish you didn't have to work through it.

So pissed/upset right now. My mom made plans with me to have dinner today, just the two of us, at White Spot, and now she goes and cancels on me. LIKE WTF!?! First you say we're not spending Christmas, and then you cancel our dinner plans for just the two of us on Christmas Eve..?! I HATE WHEN SHE DOES THAT TO ME!!!!!!!! Now I'm wishing I had someone else to spend Christmas with! D;<
Edit: aaaand on that note: I'm gonna try and find someone to gift me Portal 2 (pay them back the next time I see them) then take off and spend Christmas alone playing Portal 2 while not trying to get upset and flood my eyes with tears ;^;
Edit 2: and on another note, she really couldn't care less about how upset I am right now.. B***ch..
Current update: spending christmas with the flu is always fun. lol. x'D

I accidentally took a few bites of uncooked pork, and ended up getting a high fever, chills, and all that. I got onto a flight with a fever and I couldn't sleep for half of the trip and I had to cancel myself out from the first day of school when I got back to Vancouver. #fml

snow is win. I like the rain, in the spring, when it's supposed to rain. But winter is for snowing.
Snow is pretty... but when you have to take public transit, it is the worst. It is horrible how many places around here don't shovel their sidewalks. It forces me to walk directly on Bowen Rd instead of the sidewalk. So dangerous!
...Isn't that what winter boots are for?
I'm sorry if that seems a little harsh, I just hate, hate, HATE it when people blame the weather for inconveniencing them. Even indirectly. Yeah, those people should probably shovel the sidewalk in front of their business/house, it would be really nice of them. But I don't see how there being a little bit of snow on the sidewalk is forcing you to walk on the road. that's a personal choice.
I also think it's the worst when it snows in vancouver particularly because 1- no one in vancouver knows how to drive in the snow. Not even the handful of people that know how to dive at all know how to drive in the snow. Especially not the bus drivers. They suck at winter driving. x9000. and 2- because of the lack of snow, few people have winter tires. They all have all-season tires, which, in any real amount of snow, are pretty much useless.

Complaining about winter driving skill in a city that gets an average of one major snowfall every five years interspersed with the occasional minor snowfall is really just being picky. Complaining about winter driving skills should be done in cities where people actually NEED (and get to practice) winter driving skills more than once or twice a year, not in Vancouver.
Complaint: I seem to have pulled something in my back. Now both shoulders are sore :P
Actually, i wasnt complaining. I was stating an opinion. I think it sucks when there is snow in Vancouver because people cant drive in it, and because they're constantly unprepared for it. Regardless of the frequency of snowfall in the city, it still snows, so it shouldnt be a surprise every damn time.
My legs are too fat for boots. Anyway, I can't afford them. But mostly it doesn't snow much in Nanaimo, but when it does, it is like, knee deep. I can tell you right now that it is very difficult for a 300+lbs person to maneuver in that. Though, I am trying to get a handle on that.
When the snow is knee deep (especially when the stuff at the very bottom has turned to ice) then there is nothing I can do except flounder in it for 4 times longer than it usually takes me to get to work, or, I can walk on the street which is completely bare of snow.
I am allowed to hate the weather as much as I want. :P
Realized I lost my BC ID card at the airport three days ago today. Enough said about how horrible I'm feeling right now. I might as well set my mental state on fire and curl up in an ash heap.

I gotta agree with ya there. Hell I have been in a lot worse XD I had to drive to and from work for a good few weeks on back roads that were pretty much a sheet of ice due to being run down and never plowed. In a little civic (I did have a brand new set of winters though, yes actually 4 tires). When I lived in Nanaimo and we got that uber snow fall in like 2008 and another bad one in 2010, I didn't just have to walk in it, I was out there shoveling it and clearing the driveway. haha I just looked at it as uber exercise cause I was shredded afterwards, not to mention frozen XD

Yeah, knee deep snow I can understand. Isn't there a bylaw or something that they have to shovel their sidewalks? you should just let yourself fall, and then sue them for not shoveling the sidewalk, :p I believe that would be under negligence.

F no.. that's like the lowest form of scum on this planet.. people who do stuff like that. I know that there is a bylaw that shop owners and anyone with a stretch of sidewalk in front of their place has to shovel it... but lets just face how impractical that is.. You shovel it, 15 mins later its got like 1cm of snow, some person falls and then sues you for "not shoveling your sidewalk and being negligent" or heck you can shovel it but there is still gonna be some amount of snow and someone can and will find a way to slip on it if they are that determined to get money.

...some person falls and then sues you for "not shoveling your sidewalk and being negligent"
The legalized barratry that's gotten so utterly entrenched in modern society. Good thing to complain about. Suing for genuine negligence is one matter; If you're poisoned by inspected, 'safe' food and seriously or permanently harmed, sue. If you're briefly inconvenienced or embarrassed, harden up and deal with it, muffin.
On an unrelated complaint note, I feel like someone's driven four icepicks into my temples, and is now lovingly tapping in a fifth one heartbeat at a time. And this is after the maximum safe dose of ibuprofen and aspirin combined. Can't take anything stronger, save perhaps gin. Did I ever tell you people that migraines royally suck more ass than an outhouse placed over an industrial intake? I'm going to go find something solid and beat my head on it until the pain crawls out, at this rate. That or just ooze into bed and stop moving for a few hours. I hate my skull today. Really. Truly. Mallet and chisel please? The little gremlin in my brain-case wants out.
Combination of slightly tweaked neck and blood pressure meds has had me vaguely unfocused for a while now. It's getting annoying. Massage next week, I guess. One day I want to feel right for a full day.
I was mostly kidding about the slipping and suing. Besides, if they genuinely never shovel their sidewalks, then they deserve it.
Selkit, try icecream for the migraine. Give yourself a bit of an icecream headache, and when it subsides it'll take a bit of your migraine with it. Or at least, it works for me.
My complaint; I can't find the fabric I need for my latest projects ANYwhere. >:/
My bloody UPS melted down. Literally. The battery module is toast, the charging unit itself is probably cooked, and the apartment smells like a weird blend of rancid burnt bacon, molten foam, and charred rubber. Yuck.
Ugh, this reminds me of the time I passed a street and getting a faceful of plastic fumes from a bus that burned itself out...
People on the internet. Gabriel's Greater Internet f-wad Theory (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/3/19/) is far too accurate.
The dead UPS is beyond salvaging, even with a brand new rack of batteries. It's also well beyond warranty. There goes a two-grand unit. *grumblemutter*
I must have been eating something different while I was recovering, now I'm feeling a bit tipsy from a pack of A&W fries.
Dear old guy at Langley Canadian Tire,
You are the most useless service rep I have ever had anywhere. I don't think you even know how to drive a car, why are you working at the parts counter?
Shame on you >:(
I was called a, "Fucking retard" by a piece of white trash today in front of his toddler. All because he didn't want to sign the receipt copy after paying with a visa. Apparently I was picking on him today, because he said he's never had to sign his receipt before, and he shops here all the time (apparently) and nobody's ever asked him for a signature in the past. I guess he's special. :roll:
He gives me too much credit really. If I had that much power in Canadian law I certainly would not be working grocery for minimum wage serving greasy wiggers such as himself. 8)
What bothers me above all else was he was using that kind of language in front of his young daughter. I don't want to think about what kind of childhood she'll live with that kind of father. :(
I had to bite my lip. I wanted to tell him to buy his groceries at Walmart, that's where he belongs, he's certainly not good enough to buy from Thrifty Foods.
If that prick ever comes through my till again I'm going to refuse his order. According to Canadian human rights policy I am under no legal obligation to tolerate that kind of verbal harassment, despite what my company executives think. Really I wish now I had cancelled his order today. The risk of having my hours cut back is worth forcing those people into reality.
I have worked for Thrifty foods and Wal-mart and both suck imo, Thrifties sure the people "act" a bit nicer, just a bit, but the wage and hours you get are just as skimpy as Wal-mart, Thrifties is unionized but I have never seen that help the base level employees one bit. Im kinda glad you didn't tell him to go to Wal-mart, those people there already gotta deal with all the shit being pushed their way as it is.
On the whole
Wal-Mart = Typical corporation in how it acts and runs.
Thrifties = Corporation that pretends to care and be friendly to sucker people in while still behaving like a typical corporation.
Day three of sustained near-migraine headaches. Skull. Wai u no pop and relieve me of this?!
@ Selkit:
I recommend two extra strength ibuprofen liquigels and an extra strength Tylenol washed down with a shot of tequilla. Or, have you ever seen Jim Carrey's Grinch?
PLAY, MONKEY, PLAY!!!!! >_<
I chose to bitch now about watching a supremely creepy movie 3 nights ago (Thanks, NIKKI.) and not getting any sleep after because I had to stay awake and make sure the monster would eat my boyfriend first so I can escape. Then, following up that, having my boyfriend wake up in agony the next night, cutting my sleep right down, and a similar agonizing wake up call at 2am this morning. And, not being able to sleep because I'm so scared for him right now. Argh. I'm re-reading that, and most of it's not even my bitch to bitch about.... Dammit.
@Viv;
I can have the ibuprofen. I can't have the tequila or the tylenol. The former because I work in a few hours, the latter because it'll cause me serious liver and kidney distress. Oh, and did I mention that me and Loial both are quite sick right now, every joint aches, and we're running lovely fevers? Gnrrgh... days like this make me want to hug a warhead.
My right eye is all messed up and blurry today even with my glasses on. I hate it when this happens.
Ugh. I really hate my stepdad. I hope he dies from a STROKE or a HEART ATTACK. =W=;;;;
Today my mom made my favourite: korean chicken curry. For DINNER. Right after she finished cooking the curry, my mom and I left to go run some errands. That was around 5pm. It's 6:30 and my stepdad's home. We look in the pot AND THE DAMN THING IS EMPTY. HE ATE THE WHOLE DAMN THING!!! AND THAT WAS A BIG POT!!! LIKE HOLY SHIT ON A WHITE CRACKER!! WHAT A FAT SHIT!!! And on top of ALL that, he goes and buys Churches Chicken!! A box of chicken and a box of fries. AND HE'LL PROBABLY EAT THE WHOLE BOX!!!! I particularly don't care much for the Churches Chicken but seriously WTF!!?! D=< He eats more calories a day then he needs to in 2-3 days!! in a week, that's insane!!!!!!!
O_o
This is more along the lines of WTF than things to complain about, but it's worth complaining about the tangency of just how messed up people can be, even in my own academic backyard.

I think my furnace is broken. The thermostat is set up to 30c and nothing is happening. Water is cold too. T____T I am so glad I still have this space heater that I bought three or four years ago and only used for a few days. It sure is helping me right now. I just emailed my landlady to tell her about it. I hope it doesn't take her a month to do anything about it like it took her to get the plumber out here last time.
nearly 5 days of "sorta feeling off" it seems I finally lost the battle and am coming down with a cold, I just hate sore throats, everything else I can deal with, just not the throat. :-X
I know, not much to complain about, just more so annoying.
Okay, Google, I searched "Vancouver weather" and what the fuck.

Had a guy who's manic depressive on my bus ride from Commercial-Broadway back to UBC. Unnerved the shit out of me as he rambles on trying to latch himself onto others in conversation - not to mention that I was a victim (thank goodness I played calm, ignore, walk off, informed the bus driver, got off the bus, and took another bus back to UBC). He had his stuff occupied in the middle of the back row, taking pleasure in listening to himself talk. Afterwards, he decided to take it a step further and ran to the front of the bus to bother the bus driver about the time before romping back. I saw him trying to take pictures of some girls waiting for the bus near Alma, of which I got off and took another bus.
I don't usually post a huge chunk of stuff at once, but this is to show just how honestly unnerved (and possibly freaked out) I am.
The people on the bus that talk to themselves or try to talk to anyone about anything... yeah, that creeps me out.
Well, the landlady came by today and at least the heat works again. The overhead lights (well, most of them) are still not working. At least I have a lamp!

What's worse is when people just stare at you.
There is this one transgender fur I know that takes offense to EVERYTHING even things that aren't offensive... like someone saying 'boy bits' in reference to a penis. She responded "Dick =/= male, nor does not wanting to have it skinned and turned inside out into a crude approximation of a vagina." (whited out for some graphic words) She comes to the defense of every single other transgendered person as if she knows everything about everything, including how other transgendered people think, not letting them speak for themselves.
It is so annoying. I am getting so sick of reading her posts.
edit: Another example that just happened...
Bisexual, recently MtF: I'm going to come out at college tomorrow.
Random guy: why the hell do you need to come out in college?... that's like saying I need to come out to some guy on the side of the street
Annoying MtF person: Trans =/= gay. It's kind of hard to go through a 2 year+ process of changing your physical appearance and social presentation to that of a different sex/gender without people noticing >_>
Bisexual, recently MtF: I meant my sexuality.
Jeebus, Annoying MtF Person... let people speak for themselves!! Stop butting in constantly.

One of my biggest pet peeves ever, but I am trying to combat that by staring them back lol (if soccer moms and old people want to gock at me like retarded cows then I will look at them back right in the eyes.)
The absence of software I can use for version control that won't muck my Modo meta-data up. Having to rebuild rendering material settings at seemingly random intervals is rather annoying.
My, I'm grumpy lately. So, I went to pour myself a glass of milk. It came out of the jug the appropriate color for milk, and without any noticeable texture inconsistencies. My first warning should have been the slightly clingy behavior of it in the glass and jug, though. That's mostly because I ended up drinking a roughly half and half mixture of caseinated vinegar and bacterial slurry with milk remnants in one thirsty unknowing swig. At least the texture was smooth. if disgustingly slimy. The flavor, not so much. Ick.
I got to work today (yesterday, Tuesday) and was greeted by a bunch of grumpy co-workers who promptly informed me that our paycheques were not there. Today is payday, and my workplace doesn't have direct deposit, so we all still get paper cheques, delivered by hand. But the guy who delivers them decided he was too tired to come today and bring us the money we were owed.
As you can probably imagine, this led to a lot of angry words all night. There were a couple people who couldn't get home, and one who had to comb his car for enough spare change to afford food. All this because one guy was too tired to do his job. I was tired, I did my f***ing job. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have a job, would I?
This is my argument for the use of Direct Deposit by all employers. This guy left eight people without the money they were expecting, some of them needing, to receive. And we were all complaining about it.
Wow. That is amazingly not copacetic, Carthage. And seriously taking the piss. "You all don't get paid today because I'm a lazy, shiftless fucker" is not a valid excuse for not getting paid.
Unrelated: I'm realizing more and more how fat and weak I've let myself become. I used to fight live-steel tournaments and shoot longbow flights at 70 yards, for pity's sakes. It's about bloody time to fix that, except I need to figure out where the weights went, and where my running shoes went so I don't get bitched at for marching on the treadmill in combat boots. New goal: If I can get not-fat and not-weak by 2013, I'm happy. Even if it means cutting back on lattes and other delicious waistline-inflaters a bit. Note to wzl: Grab Sabertooth, join gun club, ignore gun section, use archery range. And maybe if permitted, throw knives on same range again like the other place allowed.
Sometimes I'd like direct deposit... but the shop I work at only has three employees, so direct deposit isn't cost effective for the boss to do.
Ugh. Yesterday, the coworker I don't work with gave out my phone number to a stranger. We are a drop off for a drycleaner, so they come every day to pick up things and drop off things both cleaning things from us and things they want us to repair. It is actually the owner of the plant that does the deliveries. They also have other drop off stores around the city and from those is where we get things to repair. Anyway, several days ago a jacket came in that might need a new zipper, but there was a note on it that said "If it would cost more than $40, just send it back." I looked it over and there was a tooth missing on the zipper so the whole thing would have to be replaced (if the teeth are fine and the bottom parts are fine, sometimes it just needs a new pull/slider) so it would have cost $39.99 plus the cost of the zipper. I sent it back. The lady at the drop off at the mall thought that it wasn't damaged at all or that I had replaced the zipper since she didn't notice that tooth. She called the shop and since I wasn't there and the girl working didn't know the answer... so instead of calling me herself (that is ok) and then getting the answer and calling them back, she gave them my cell number to ask me themselves. That is not cool. It might have been slightly ok if it was the plant owner since I know her and see her every day that I work... but she gave it to a stranger. Someone that I have never met and never even talked to on the phone before. Not cool. I emailed my boss about it and she is outraged and will be giving that coworker a talking to today.
Also roommates... the other night there were several notes by the male one on the board.
- "Why is there margarine on the counter?" ... Because I don't refrigerate it. Never have. It has been on the counter since I bout it two weeks ago and it is only bugging you now? It is the only thing of mine on the counter, btw.
- "It sure would be nice if I had lights in my room!" ... Last week or so, the female roommate tripped a breaker when she plugged in TWO space heaters (the furnace was broken at the time) and all the overhead lights in the upstairs part of the house went out. The guys in the basement suite flipped it back on... and only the lights in the bathroom, back hall and female roommates room went back on. Front porch, front hall, male roommates room, living room, kitchen, back porch and my bedroom are still without lights. The landlord was in Victoria because her son was having surgery, so she wasn't able to come for a week so we used lamps. When she did arrive, she couldn't see any reason that they were still out. She said she will have to get her apprentice (she is an electrician) and go up into the attic as soon as she can. It hasn't happened yet though. But the note was there as if it was my fault or something.
- "Thanks for putting mouldy buns by the sink. Why didn't you throw them away?" ... Because they are not mine, they are female roommates. I don't want to open the bag to put them into the compost and have to touch/smell them. I only moved them because I needed to use the counter they were on to prep for cooking and didn't want to smell them. Instead of getting the female to throw them away, he PUT THEM BACK BESIDE THE TOASTER. They are still there.
I bought two thermometers at Walmart on Wednesday. One for my bedroom and one for the rest of the house (I stuck it to the fridge as it is magnetized) so I can see for sure how much warmer my room gets than the rest of the house. That same night, someone took it off of the fridge and broke it apart. Left the parts scattered on the counter. @VVVV@
Last night, male roommate took the last mini pack of perogies out of the variety pack that I bought and cooked them for supper. I wrote a note on the whiteboard telling him that they were mine and he had better replace them. No word back on that yet. He better not pull what he did a few months ago... There were frozen mixed berries on sale at the grocery store and I bought a bag for smoothies. I had opened the bag and used one handful. The rest were in the freezer and I hadn't made a smoothie for a little while, but then went to and the bag was gone. I asked about it and he swears up and down that he bought that bag. No he didn't. I did. At Thrifties. I was like "So if those were yours, then where did my bag that was exactly the same go?" No response and he never replaced them. >__>

To paraphrase Star Trek, "Great men do not seek fame, they have fame thrust upon them." There are many examples throughout modern history of great celebrities simply not being able to cope with their own fame. Whatever a person may be famous for, it can't be easy to have your life be a public spectacle, and your every action scrutinized.
I was practicing airbrushing earlier today and accidentally knocked a bottle of ink off the table. It not only ruined my shirt and shorts, but took out the carpet too. >.<
Lazy ass older co-worker who's favorite pass-time seems to be blaming others for the consequences of his laziness.
Like today, letting a truck run down till it was empty then trying to say it was my fault cause I didn't go fill it up when he is more than capable of doing it himself.. especially when HE was the one working on it all day. Good news is, if he tries to go around blaming me for his laziness I am just going to go to the managers (the management there actually like me and they know how much of a dumb ass he is) None the less though I utterly despise adults who refused to take responsibility for their own actions or lack there of.
Unloading containers with boxes that's all mixed up and/or when they're marked incorrectly and so forth. I don't mind the kind of work I've been doing, it's better than nothing and I get a good workout, but having to sort through a ton of product and making sure it's the correct number can be a real pain in the ass, especially when the boxes can weigh from twenty to fifty pounds.
Lacerated myself on my right leg after accidentally nicking the tiny sharp edged metal part of my bed. Now I have a beautiful inch-long red line where I nicked myself. :(
When my landlady was here to fix the wiring for the ceiling lights (which are now fixed and is the awesome part)... she kept getting pissed off about how messy the house was. Since like, the minute she arrived, my roommates took off... I was the only one at home for her to direct her rage at... I got raged on for being a messy pig.
The worst part is... NONE OF THE MESS WAS MINE AT ALL. She didn't believe me though.
The new CEO of my company seems hell-bent on ruining our restaurant.
His dedication to making the front-of-house look nice, and make us look pretty to all the customers has left the actual functionality of the restaurant by the wayside. Three of the major appliances in our kitchen are now either non-functional or severely impaired. His response: find a workaround, we'll call someone later.
I'm pretty sure finding a workaround isn't going to cut it when the heath department comes in and finds we have no hot water. >.<
Looking pretty is useless when your kitchen has been shut down :P

I saw a National Geographic special last night on earthquakes and tsunamis. In Japan, they have taken soil samples going back several thousand years and found that the island gets inundated with one tsunami approximately every three hundred years. According to old diaries, the last tsunami hit Japan in January of 1700 AD.
Meanwhile, on the west coast of North America, soil strata outside of Seattle indicate the same tsunami that devastated Japan in 1700 AD originated off the Pacific coast. The strata also indicated that tsunamis wash over the Washington coast approximately every three hundred years.
Here's the thing: that special was produced in 2008; three years before the Tōhoku earthquake/tsunami devastated Japan. If Seattle is next, then that means we are also next. Something tells me that now is not the time to purchase property in Richmond.
Yeah, I heard about that a while back. It is pretty interesting actually.
I think I saw it when I watched a documentary series called 'How the Earth Was Made' and it is all about geography and geology at different sites and time periods.
Missed my chance by one day to register for UBC as a student MUG leader for fall 2012.

Human beings who fail HARD at driving. Some people have NO right to be behind the wheel if they are past their youth and still have not learned how to drive properly. Save the road for those of us who actually have some god damn skill and a actually understanding of how to drive RIGHT.
Yeah it sounds elitist but I truly feel like driving is something that you should only do if you know how to do it properly, otherwise stick to the bus driven by a professional who proved they know that driving is more than turning a wheel and stomping on a pedal. Im just sick of the functioning retards we let get behind the wheel so they can simply push the envelope of what it takes to get a Darwin award on a daily basis.
Just got last-second sniped on a collection of Albedo comics by Steve Gallacci, the kind of thing that you don't see available very often, including a collection of Gallacci's early pieces in the 'Critters' anthology, Birthright, which is where my character name and interest in the fandom came from. I'm stupidly upset about this.
A two-inch gash in my foot. Moral of the story: If you're going to stick a detached computer case side somewhere, for the love of all that's good, don't stick the bloody thing right next to the ladder of your loft bed! You will step on razor-sharp exposed metal, and the first clue of how badly you've cut yourself will be blood smears on the floor. If it wasn't clean enough to seal on its own with a careful dressing, this would have mandated stitches. Walking around is going to *suck* over the next few days.
Feeling absolutely *horrible* right now, and I can't call in sick. There's no one that could cover the shift today. Nausea, poor equilibrium, resultant insomnia... yup. Fun times. It's going to be a Gravol-and-caffeine day, vacillating between drugged and twitchy.
Gas company is trying to go back on what they said a few months ago. When we paid the deposit ($440), the guys downstairs (who pay 35% of the gas bill) didn't put any money in. Of the deposit, I paid $182 and my roommates each paid $129. What the gas company wants to do is just credit the account with that money.
... So how do I work everything out? If the bill (for a couple of months... as in the warmer months, our usual bill is $46, and the credit would be for $440) comes to us saying $0.00... how does everyone get credited with the amount they paid into the deposit? The guys downstairs didn't even pay into the deposit, so why do they get a break?
I can't make sense of it, it is too confusing, so a few months ago a rep told me that they could just send me a cheque and just to write to them closer to the date it would be credited and ask for that. So I did... and just got an email saying:
"The invoice is on your name, so I don't see how anybody else could take advantage of it and the amount of the deposit will be clearly stated in the invoice. All you need to do is just subtract the amount of the deposit from your invoice and divide the rest between the two of you."
FFFFFFF They didn't even read my email properly, as I stated that there are FIVE of us in two units. The guys downstairs pay 35% of the bill (usually, but didn't help on the deposit like I said before) and the three of us up here pay 65%, but on the deposit I paid more since I had already divvied up the first deposit payment as though the other guys would help and when they didn't, I just paid their portion.
Ugh. Joel pisses me off. If he doesn't have the money he owes me, instead of telling me when he will get it or explaining himself at all, he just avoids me completely. I finally got him to say something... and he is all "I just got paid, but it is only $384. I don't even have enough for a bus pass next month! wah!"
... Ok, so that was just this paycheque. He had one more earlier on in the month. He usually works 5 4 hour shifts a week. That would mean that his other cheque was for the same amount. That is $768. Rent and a bus pass costs $378 combined. That leaves him with $390 left over. What happened to it all? He can buy beer, but he can't pay his bills? Seriously?
He needs to grow up and learn his priorities.
1. Rent.
2. Utilities & Bus pass.
3. Food.
4. Misc.

Getting stuck behind an elderly drive who (in the pant of one minute) blocks off oncoming traffic in grocery complex and stays sitting for well over 10 seconds, turns RIGHT two different times while in a straight through lane and a LEFT turn lane effectively cutting people off... on the second turn proceeds to drive in an oncoming traffic lane and doesn't even try to get back in the right lane.. and the coupe-de-gras swerving last minute into a merge lane and cutting me off and coming to a dead stop... How people like this are still alive, forget even driving still, is beyond me.

(unless I'm wrong x3)
Well, it is the 22nd, and February only has 28 days (well, 29 this year). They should be out now. Where I am, they are usually out 1.5 to 2 weeks before the 1st of the month.
nVidia's driver 295.73 on a GTX 285 FTW edition. Nice Skyrim-specific improvements, guys; Should I be looking for increased ambient occlusion depth in the gray screen I get when your GPU drivers manage to take the GPU down so hard the whole system hard-locks?
Is that the latest drivers? My old 7950 used to lose textures with old firmware ion GTA IV.
Ambient occlusion, AA, FXAA, real time shadows, bloom filtering, turn those all down / off.
that phone sex operator job I had at the beginning of last year? Douchebag pimp boss got my SIN and name wrong on my T4. I can forgive the name, because I go by my mom's maiden name, but my legal name is different. But then to tell me that I don't know my own name, or my SIN? really?

It's a GTX 285 FTW Edition. It eats Skyrim for breakfast on High detail at glassy-smooth framerates. Right up until nVidia's latest driver release, which I had to install to get BF3 running properly (Deferred frame-buffer jitters). The issue is largely that they've gone and written a driver optimized for DX11 hardware and forgotten that the GTX 285 is *not* true DX11 hardware, it's DX10+. They have a bad glitch with buffer optimization for certain shading types that's causing fatal faults. Adjusting game settings won't help, only a driver rollback will, which of course means I can't play BF3 properly until they fix that nonsense. Mind you, I was looking for an excuse to update my GPU, so hey. This excuse will do nicely.
Sprained my bloody right ankle on Monday and now, thanks to that, walking down stairs and getting around is a bitch.
That banks require you to have an account in order to do currency exchange and/or to cash in rolls of coins. Maybe if the bank didn't have so many stupid fees I wouldn't have cancelled my account and went to a Credit Union.

Having one of those nights where I only manage maybe four hours of sleep.
I just watched the most recent episode of Glee and basically let's just summarize it this way: I had a box of tissues beside me and I was pulling 2 pieces every 10 seconds.
And on top of that, they're making us wait till April 10th for the next episode. >: Sad episode is saaaaaad.
Blew a wheel bearing and another brake caliper on the car. Need to commute to Victoria for the next few weeks still. Going to have to scoot it. Not sure if this is bad? I think it depends on the weather.

Oh god, yeah people and parking as a general work out about as well as hand sanitizer on a razor burn. I just get so pissed about the elderly on a regular basis due to the hypocrisy of our society, there is an obvious problem but we ignore it and continue to let accidents and injury's needlessly happen because some how that seems the better option than upset old people.. I have been lucky so far but only cause I drive like every single grey haired person is on the road just so they can kill someone and not follow any of the rules.
I always felt that if the government has made underage driving against the law, they should make overage driving against the law as well.
: Tef March 29, 2012, 01:04:32 -06:00

It's against the law to drive underage because you can't get your license till a certain age. Overage driving, or, as it's known, senior driving, can be overlooked upon certain aspects: if the person has enough site to see ahead of them at least a mile, have some-what fast reflexes to act upon suddenly in-case need be, and still have strength. It's different however, because for overage driving, you actually have a license, so all-in-all it's legal for the most part. The only thing that could change it is if they get their license suspended/taken away forever. But with underage driving, you don't have any sense of what to do on the open road, half the kids who try can barely reach the pedals, and a lot of the time just look plain stupid to have, say, a 10-year old behind the wheel, on a busy intersection, especially if they don't know what they're doing. Let alone try and drive their parents care
alone or with friends
who can't drive either. Driving a big vehicle with a motor that has power equivalent to a horse is far more different than driving those little plastic toy cars our parents bought us when we were young (if they could afford it or were nice enough to buy you one; I never got one lol, and it's a good thing I didn't xD). lol. :roll:
(my friend told me to throw this in just for the shits 'n giggles (is not meant to be taken with offence, since, it's a joke that lingers throughout the world) that if overage driving should be against the law, then same goes for chinese people, and should only be allowed to drive after they pass some intense driving boot camp)
I believe I wasn't clear in my point: Don't get me wrong, I support the government on making underage driving against the law.
Hell, they should ban folks driving with loud mufflers and obscenely annoying bass music - windows down and all that.

Oh, I definitely agree with you about the loud mufflers part; it really pisses me off when you're standing at a cross walk and the light goes green, when all you hear is "VAROOOOBOOMM" so loud >.> it's bloody annoying. As for the loud bass music, I'm fairly okay with that, depending on what the song is; if it's good music, I'm okay with it but if it's wangster music then I try and tune it out...

& wut? o_O
Mmm I see exactly what you are saying Hunny. The only problem is how much we let it slide :S I think that once people hit 60 they should have to at least do some sorta test every 5 years. The currents system of testing once they hit 80 is rather redundant because by that time many are not driving due to rapidly deteriorating health. its kinda like trying to cure someone of cancer while they are on their death bed, you have already missed the crucial point so anything this late in the game is all in vain. We need to stop bad drivers before they have accidents, not after repeated ones. I think this could vastly be solved by medical testing at younger ages, start doing eye exams, reaction tests and the like once someone reaches 60, if they cannot meet a minimum visual and reaction rating then its a good sign its time to hang the keys.
The main problem with older drivers is not just one of health but general lack of lazy driving and not caring. I have had too many close calls with their driving and every time I look at them they got this look of indifferent on their face, as if to say "what? You managed to dodge my driving, if people can dodge me then I can still drive, not my fault!" These are the types I would feel not a ounce of sympathy towards if they got stripped of their license because their indifference to others safety and proper driving form make them EXACTLY like an under-aged driver. Just with an under-aged driver its not knowing anything, where as with older people its arrogance and just not giving a shit. In driving schools they are dead set on defensive driving, the one I went to it was the bulk of everything they taught you, not how to handle different cars or road conditions, it was mostly about how to minimize your chances of being hit by an indifferent retard. We teach people how to get around the stupid instead of focusing on getting rid of the stupid, simply put. Its something I have never agreed with on a fundamental level simply cause no where else in society do we accept sub-par incapable people to do tasks that require a decent level of attention and skill, usually because always it has bad consequences. But for some reason with driving we just hand out the license and go "god and darwin will have a tug-o-war and sort em out"

Nasty "men" putting on demanding airs and babbled demands (Of the sort I am not permitted to dole out by policy) over a budget motel room that they will be sharing with a luckless prostitute for the afternoon. I don't particularly care who or what they share their room with; Not my business, though out of my work shoes, I tend to frown on that kind of chicanery. The crowning moment of vileness, though, was him hawking loogies on the walkway three feet from the door, after ripping a massive fart in front of my desk like a giant jar of smashed Triple Fermented Eau de Rotten Cabbage.

Was glared at today by an old lady in the grocery store when I picked up a small (700mL) bottle of Dr. Pepper and put it on the counter with my other things. It was the only piece of even remotely junk-y food I bought today. Everything else was either fresh veggies, fish, meat or other form of "real" food.
I hate the perception that my generation, and really all subsequent generations, eat nothing but junk food. One bottle of pop does not a junk food diet make.

Thats okay, cause I perceive THEIR generation as a bunch of very wrinkled 3 year olds who stare, point, argue and whine till they get what they want, and smell bad just like a real 3yr olds do. XD
I have gotten those looks from people like that a lot, I have been trying to find ways to give it back to them, like staring right back making creepy eye contact. Or having a shit eating grin on my face as if to you "you grumpy? too bad that I am enjoying my life" mostly cause nothing pisses off grumpy people than seeing other people who are doing just fine. lol

It's rather annoying when my mind seems more interested in wanting to create a new story rather than try and finish the half dozen or so that are collecting dust.
Current roommate is mad at me because I didn't actually sweep up his and his sisters garbage in the kitchen, just that I moved it out of the way to put my boxes out there. Yet all the dishes they own are currently dirty and on the counter and filling up BOTH sides of the sink and that is ok? He can go DIAF.
Then just after that...
Busted pipe in the kitchen! I went out to get my dishes from the dishwasher and there was a lake on the floor. It didn't get to my boxes though. PHEEEW! I mopped up. The sink was also filled to the brim and not emptying. When I plunged it, I heard air whistling from a pipe. Since it can't form suction to take the water away, the dishwasher emptied into the sink, but the sink couldn't hold it all. Plumber hopefully coming tomorrow, I called the landlady to tell her the situation.
Meanwhile, I bailed out both sides of the sink so it won't slowly leak onto the floor like it was doing. Also told my roommates to not use the water there or dump anything into the sink until the plumber comes.
*chants* Only three more days! Only three more days!
You might want to take the opportunity during your final night with your troubling roommates to take it out on them. ;)
Nah. I don't want to sink to their level. It will be revenge enough when I take the Internet with me. :)
Stupid older co-worker today giving me shit and trying to say I am lazy for not doing part of HIS job. He is being a typical dick who just tries to belittle and patronize people till they do what he wants.. Today he was REALLY pushing it and being a total ass sooo...
Today I verbally tore a strip out of his ass and called him on his slack work ethics and his "world revolves around me" attitude that makes him think he can get away with not doing parts of his job and then blaming others for it. Actually had my co-workers (and even the secondary manager) back me up afterwards because they know how much of a shit disturber that guy can be. Morale of the story? Piss off a Dragon and you're gonna get burned.
Allergies. That continual sense of malaise, itchiness and low-energy feeling I get, owing to a continuous false-alarm raging war my immune system is waging on... flowers. Go and sit in the corner, immune system; The rest of me will call you when there's actually a threat.
Also? Flowers and poplars friggin' everywhere. Does no one seem to understand allergies? I know they're pretty and all, but some of us have a hyperactive immune system that tends to go RAWRKILL on anything even remotely foreign. Especially plant bukkake. D:

I found out today that I'm not going to get my vacation time in September, which I had booked off to go to the states with my mother for our joint birthdays, because the other cook is a complete twat. She's changed her vacation time 4 times since the request sheet was posted, and changed it again the day of the deadline, booking off the time I've had posted for over a month. She has two months seniority, so she gets it.
When I called her about it on Monday, she said she'd be willing to change it so that I could get my vacation. When my boss talked to her today, she said she's changed her mind; she will not change it.
I'm done playing nice.
Upgraded to Thunderbird 11 today.
Then I found out there are absolutely NO good themes for 11.

More and more it seems that my employers want me to comply with their rules (not unreasonable) but are blatently unwilling to comply with the rules set out for them by BC's Employment Standards Act. (http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/00_96113_01)
When I get a job, I expect to be required to follow some basic guidelines for behaviour, performance, appearance and the like. However I also expect that my employer will follow the guidelines set out for them by what are, effectively, their higher-ups. So it always frustrates me a little when I point out to employers that they are breaking the rules.
I was written up at work yesterday for not wearing the right pants, pants I am required to wear, pants my employer expected me to buy. I have told my boss on numerous occasions that a) I can barely afford basic necessities on what I make, and b) section 25 of the Employment Act requires that my employer pay for the pants. Until yesterday, and me showing them the appropriate sections, they didn't listen. My boss seemed both surprised, and frustrated that I knew my rights, and was holding him to account for attempting to violate them.
This is a problem I've encountered throughout the foodservice industry, but I don't know how much the problem exists in other industries, if at all.

If you work any sort of service job that can't even pay you a decent wage then its a guarantee they will almost never supply any attire needed for the job. When I was in my later teens I worked a few bakery jobs and not one ever supplied the attired they demanded you have. But lucky for me my parrents were nice and went and got some second hand stuff that was passable, I really didn't give 2 shits haha. When I worked at wal-mart thats when it was real fun, even stricter dress code and they are fucking nazis when it comes to shoes. I had to go out and get a $100 pair of shoes for a job that wasn't worth the sweat on my balls.
Its no surprise your boss reacted like they did... you would be surprised how far people are willing to cut corners and skew things to save a buck.

Well I don't care about graphics, that's not what sells a game for me. It actually looks really shiny and feels very polished, but they neutered the game mechanics and the character building. Instead they chose to slap WoW's UI onto Diablo and force the game into a stripped down set of pre-defined per-level skills. The depth of character creation is gone, instead it's just simple options.
If the depth of the game has gone into the crafting, then the game essentially becomes grinding and crafting instead of playing. The grinding of old Diablo was going it and killing stuff, then picking up loot. That mechanic is a bit nicer, now that loot is per-client instead of shared, but the servers also control the loot drops. That means that Blizzard can force the loot drops to be low and make people grind more for the items, especially so they can keep control of the auction houses while preventing people from being uber-buffed. Basically, it engineers a need to sink tons of money and/or time into the game, instead of just making the replay value super high, like D2.
I'm also rather concerned about what they are going to do with the lore. I mean, the beta allows you to fight whom? The skeleton king ... again? Right off the bat, it's the same old with recycled plot ideas and rather lackadaisical maps. No relay random, so the linearality of the world becomes clear right away.
Thus, D3 appears to be the bad parts of WoW with a coat of D2 paint over it. Not exactly a day-one purchase for me ... no, I'll wait for the price to drop to $30 or $40 at the most, same thing I am doing with Startcraft II.
If anything, my big May 15th game is Max Payne 3.
Yeah, if there is something special about the clothes, then they have to supply them.
If they say "white shirt and black pants" then you buy them.
If they say "white shirt with a ruffle running down each side of the buttons, and black dress pants with a satin stripe down the outside seam" then they buy them.

I can agree with the crafting bit, what I loved about D2 was trying to craft new and interesting items and find the ultra rare and set items. I am sad that its not really in there, though the only way they could have it is if by some real stretch they got the cube to find its way into this game. The skill trees as well, I loved how it wad setup in D2. But I still remain pretty open to this game and will grab it the first chance I get just cause it falls into one of those little niches of gaming that I enjoy. To me the games market is too saturated with WoW clones (I know there is irony in me saying that) and more of the same old "war" games that feature people in dusty dirty environments wearing camo and shooting other people dressed in camo in a competition to see whos camo is the most fashionable lol

I hate Joel and if it were acceptable to strangle him, I would.
For the March bills, I asked for $95 each due on the 15th of April. When that date came, he claimed that he 'was short on cash' so I agreed to wait until his next payday even though I was really pissed about it. When I moved out, I left a note on the whiteboard saying they also had to give me $50 for the April bills, due on May 15th. So he got paid yesterday and I sent him an email asking for the money... at least the $95. What does he tell me?
"dont have it. will have on the 15th like you said"
Is he braindead? What makes paying the first part a MONTH LATE acceptable? Does he think I am made of money and have tons of spare cash laying around? Once I give my rent and pet deposit to my landlords here, I will have $2. It would be nice to be able to buy my bus pass and groceries.
I sincerely hope that he royally messes up on something in his life and everything goes into the toilet for him.

I'm sure some people know about this situation, Having road construction re-route a bus route. Currently happening here, with the bus I use the most. Right now, there's some construction going on for whatever reason. The bigger problem is the 2 bus stops i usually use (the one to downtown, and the one from downtown, both the closest to my house) are out of service, due to the construction. A small annoyance as I now have to find some suitable bus stop alternatives.
The thing that really annoys the snot out of me is that there is no notice whatsoever of the fact that the bus has been re-routed, no notice on the pole of the stops affected before it was suspended, nothing on the "Rider Alert" section of the local transit website. Yes, the change isn't a major one, but still there's a change. Thankfully, living in the area, and relying on the bus to get to some destinations. I had some small idea that something was going to happen, but no idea of when it was to happen, where the bus was detouring to (although, I kinda knew where it was going). Honestly speaking, I want to hit the idiot who decided not to inform the the transit using public of this change.

Nice to see that you can complain here. Recently I've observed a little too much, especially in a professional surrounding, that you are not allowed to complain. You get stared down and booted out. What is it with that all positive attitude everyone is wearing like a mask, as they try to cover their fears and doubts. Come on, we all have them, we all have something to complain about but most people don't want to hear grief and despair from other people because it ruins their halo or something...
So I tried to take my driving test today to finally get rid of my N and failed due to a couple minor things.. no biggie even though I'm down $50 because of it. Then on the way home I get pulled over by a cop who said my exaust was too noisy and have to follow him out of town to test it. So ten mins later it turns out he doesn't have a tester and another cop has to bring one. So finally 45mins later the second cop arrives and they test it. Turns out im 10x over the legal max DB and have 30 days to fix it. So now i have to ruin my expenive exaust by welding a crap muffler onto it and pay for my own inspection on top of that. I don't even have the money to do that right now but if i don't get it done they will tow my car and charge me $600 >.<
I really wish they would go after things that really matter instead of harrasing people like me. We are all paying for there services after all :roll:...

So I tried to take my driving test today to finally get rid of my N and failed due to a couple minor things.. no biggie even though I'm down $50 because of it. Then on the way home I get pulled over by a cop who said my exaust was too noisy and have to follow him out of town to test it. So ten mins later it turns out he doesn't have a tester and another cop has to bring one. So finally 45mins later the second cop arrives and they test it.

Shit man... real sorry to hear about that. *hugs*
Gotta love cops who just harass youth who own anything that's not a old town car.
Ffff Where were those cops when my sisters bumhole boyfriend would drive around Nanaimo at 4am blasting his huge car speakers as loud as they would go? And boy were they ever loud. You could hear him coming from at least 5 blocks away.

Ugh.. that's just downright inconsiderate. It's that sort of thing that gets more considerate people profiled by the cops. Just because they have a high end stereo, upgraded exaust ect.

Just found out that a dear old classmate of mine from Elementary School recently passed away. :-[ I'll be attending a prayer services, her memorial and burial next week.

That is something to complain about, sorry to hear about the loss. Hopefully the good memories will help make the sorrow less over time
Spider bites suck. Chances are, it was a recluse bite, and there's about a one in five chance that it was from a spider carrying those wonderful necrotizing bacteria. I'll find out in a day. In the meantime, precautionary measures and really obnoxious topical stuff. >:c

Being reserved to say that I am fully healed, still continuing with tea treatment.
Got a fairly nasty shock at work today. Guest served a complaint about their cable quality being terrible, it was, another guest in their party in a different room offered the same complaint. Did the logical thing, went to check the cable status in a neighbouring room, touched the power button on the TV, and got a decent zap. That was just the start of the fun. Glad I'm at home right now with my heart still beating, today sucked massively.
Yikes, hope it wasnt as bad as Wovianart getting us into using his electrical shock tool at the March Furmeet. Basically we all were in a circle and power gradually came from one to another in the circle. Then I had the idea to kiss the person in front of me and we got fairly zapped.

So pack your muffler with steel wool then have it inspected.
Seriously though 10x over the limit? Nothing wrong with something that sounds nice if its reasonable.
Measured 1.7 feet from the tip of the muffler and around 3/4 of the max RPM.
Anything over 90db is going to get you into trouble.
79db is the tolerance level for people.

Hehe I was thinking of going the steel whool route. If memory serves it was about 92db at half way to redline. Though I managed to find a store that will sell me the correct silencer for my muffler so I hope works well enough to pass inspection.
I'm still pissed they went after me for that though. Sure it can be loud but if you rev the crap out of it. But as long as you shift in a timley fasion it's not enough to annoy anyone or stand out from the rest of the traffic noise.
Horrible worrisome and painful health. for several months now have had mild to moderate chest pain (moderate as of late mostly), feels like clogged veins, shooting pains wherever blood flows, soreness of all the joints, as well as the most worrying thing, the heart feeling like it's struggling >.> I'm a firm believer of being able to deal with health crap (read: I hate all doctors as they constantly act like they know everything but make you jump through hoops for diagnoses which is total BS imo) on my own but the past couple weeks I've been thinking it might be too little too late to fix this stuff; I have been exercising and lost 35lbs recently but I'm far from healthy. I also spent 4 solid years eating nothing but crap (I'm serious, NO fresh anything) due to having no cooking skills and I think it really took my body for a rough ride. I've been changing my diet as best as I can on my restricted income but its hard and can't just happen all overnight.
It probably doesn't help that my estranged mother is on her way to her grave (probably has maybe a year, two tops) as of late from failing lungs/heart that add to the worry that I'm not far behind. My overall daily situation is frustrating as there are many causes of stress that I have no real control over constantly just making me miserable.
Anyways. Sorry for the rant and negativity spewage (even though this is probably the thread for doing so), I just really needed to get it out of my head as best as I could...doing so does relieve a bit of the stress, if only temporarily.
I've got to move out, and soon. My parents' negativity has already affected my demeanour, causing me to be kind of dour.
I'm hoping that it's not permanent, and that I can find a job soon with which to pay for a place of my own. =>.<=
Ok that sucks, for me its working with plastic..........I HATE IT! GAHHHHHHHHHH! just make me so frustaited Just find's ways to just get me Mad and just about Snap, Enough to make my just Push down the throtle and Drive right off the Hill side and right in the river. :vik:
Can't really say why but I'm feeling that highly negative emotion that you just can't place when you have it.
I don't know if I'm tired, depressed, mad, sad, grieving, alone, stressed, or what to even call it.
Its that feeling like your heart is in your throat, and your body wants to throw up every time you think about your life.
Its that feeling where you just want to crawl inside of yourself and disappear forever, where every little thing that you can think of makes it feel worse.
I have no clue what I want to do with my life or how to move forward, I just wish that I could still cry like I used to be able to, but I can't. You don't know how good crying it until you lose it, such a release of emotion all at once.

Okay, so pulldown bars on universal gyms are designed so that the cable goes straight up and straight down. Sometimes it goes forwards if the person using it is doing some funky thing a step or two away from the machine. That's fine.
Considering that, I'm not entirely sure how someone in my building managed to take the pulldown bar on our universal machine and pull it so hard and so far to one side that it pulled the cable out of its run - past a large bolt intended to keep it in place - and completely out of place. While fraying the cable in the process.
I can only imagine that some overmuscled Neanderthal thought it would be fun to swing on it side to side until it went sproing, thereby leaving the rest of us unable to use it. Which, considering I just started getting weights into my routine for the last couple of weeks, is really rather irritating.

yeah, i heard about that too, i liked the hits, but there was one song not as big, but i liked it, called "You win again". sucks to know nobody's going to hear the songs live in a concert, unless it's tribute band.
It's truly depressing when your parents expend at least twice as much energy telling you how what you did was wrong (or even simply inconvenienced them) than telling you that what else you might have done was right.
(and even more confusing when they claim they still love you, and are generally supportive in other, non-helpful ways)

Having a horrible night after coming home from the night market (I had a good time at the night market, had nothing to do with what happened after), waking up this morning barely able to get out of bed, SICK with the flu, AND I feel awful because I was supposed to help Lusiphur move today, and I lost my phone... just my luck... ; ^;
People fighting in house, need soon to move out.. I'll be certainly more open when I know I can come home and it is my own.
I need to drag my furry fluffy ass to work tomorrow to work overtime. :( The worse thing is that this overtime will be for data entry, something I absolutely loathe doing. Thankfully I don't have to do any of it in my day-to-day. Also, my best work-friend who was going to come pulled out so it won't be as fun as it would have been.
Sounds like a bad day at work Tyins, but these hours you have to do that can be a pain. Though I wish Tiger you can get the challenge resolved at your den even though it is a lengthy one.
Looking at the overall scale there is the challenge to be faced with too many open questions and no answers in sight.
Swell, some of us must/may have suicidal thoughts a couple times a week, only thinking but never actually taking actions towards it. When things go so bad that you want to jump off the top of a building. Then there is that feeling that society "forces" you to wear a mask and be happy all the time not expressing your sorrows. You share these thoughts everybody around you, parents, siblings friends you can think you trust panics about it.
Got a damn flat tire driving home from work, like totally flat... yet by some shade of luck despite driving my normal speed home, in the rain no less, I did not have any control issues.

On my way back from the kitchen with a lovely warm beefdip sandwich thingy... the aroma is fantastic... im looking forward to sitting down, putting on some doctor who and having a lovely late night meal <3 literally like.. mouth watering because im so excited to have it because beefdips are always better the 2nd time for some reason >.< i gracefully... STUB MY TOE... fall slightly from pain, beef dip goes everywhere, theres meat and buns and the gravy stuff everywhere... all over my new clothes and my new hoodie.. the floor... the sammich that i was wanting to nom for my lovely snack is ruined... and i wake up my nephew and niece downstairs aswell as my mother.. who comes out and starts laughing at the sight in the hallway.. gravy splattered on the wall... meat and buns with melted cheese all over the hardwood floor making a mess in every possible location that i would have to clean.. -.- so not only do i lose out on an amazing meal... my toe hurts.. and ihave to silently clean the hallway, put the stuff in the garbage, throw my stuff in the wash so it doesnt stain, AND have another shower... on the plus side i now have some beef jerky as i type this...mmm :)

while visiting family in 100 mile, I cut my foot on a mysterious object in a lake. There was a two inch long strip of skin hanging off the bottom of my foot which I had to cut off with a pair of scissors. And I could still feel said skin as I cut it off. It was gross.
Tried to exercise after being sick in bed all weekend and owww my everything. ;n;

I'd like to say thanks to the lady driver who rammed her container into my work's dock not once, but twice, which most likely caused the back portion of the product to shift backwards, which then resorted to it falling. Bitch.
Also, we have another container that's just full of fun. There's a lot of little lot numbers and it's all mixed up. On one hand I'm happy because it's work, but on the other hand the job can cause you to become agitated. *puffs on his e-cigarette* Aw, nicotine.

I can't. I still live at home, am charged $100 rent a month, and don't have a job worth a darn, despite my bachelor of science in computer science.
Plus, I'm saving that for when I move out.
(they never mean their encouragement half as much as they mean their criticisms, and they criticize ten times as much. At this point, them saying they love me means nothing any more)
That sucks, and facing them to ask what they love about me and what you want them to do might not resolve the solution immediately.

It won't. I'm not even sure they'd listen.
I think that I need to move out before this situation can be properly resolved.
Right now, it feels like the rod of correction is always hanging over my head, leaving me apprehensive about almost everything I do at home.
On especially bad days, even teasing about punishment leaves me cold.
Another thing my parents do that pisses me off:
Since when does "X needs to be done" equate to "Please do X"?
They prefer to use the former of the two formats, which makes it extremely difficult for me to tell if they're thinking out loud or actually want me to do it.
(it's especially confusing if there's more than just me in the room with them)
I've started giving up on trying to tell the difference sometimes.
In case you're wondering, yes I have tried to talk to them about it, but I did quite literally get yelled at for trying to talk to them about it.

got a couple thigns this time: just got back from our worst pooundage year on paper (for prawns), spent most of the last 2 days dricing the boat back from where we were fishing pretty much around bella coola (plus i passed out at the wheel around 3 30 4 in the morning and almost got us run over by a cruise ship) and now that we docked the boat at my paretns house my mom got up to to say hi and more speciffically hound me about quitting smoking fun times around here :thumbs:

Massive mood swings lately... friggin' hate being generally down more than up.
When I'm working we have to listen to Sirius XM Satellight Radio on the overhead, which is generally fine until we go through the cycles and end up on either Hits 1 or the Blend.
Every, second, fucking, song is Adele. Her good songs are about hardcore breakup and depression, and her bad ones say "rumour has it" repetitively ad nauseum. In an 8 hour shift, it can get very tiresome.

Our art party team got the French Revolution for our final prompt.
How the hell are we supposed to blend that with a modern-day TV show about a detective?! D: I got nothing. If all else fails I'm just going to write a fic where everyone dies. Everyone. Preferably from being beheaded. This will be my revenge on the mod*.
* I say that in a kind way. She loves sad stories and hates them at the same time, so most of our team makes it a habit to write as much tragedy as we possibly can for every prompt. xD
This headache will not go away... *grumble* And my room mates never stop drinking, and never shut up, so I haven't slept much lately. Could be causing the headache I s'pose :/
Having a cold sore that constantly rubs on my lower teeth. It's annoying as hell, especially when I'm trying to eat.

Some scumbag broke into my car while I was at work today. Stole my GPS unit and my good Kershaw knife. That's like $250 worth of stuff. Well... only $150, I found that knife on the side of the road. Confusing thing was there was $300+ worth of RC equipment in the back... untouched. Retarded scumbag.
Some bloody plonkhard ranking of durian was on my bus ride from work back to home. Enough to put me in quite a cross mood for a while.
This guy at work seems to have a short memory. We've told him several times not to slam pallets on the ground, whether it be outside or inside a container, but he still does it, as well as not slamming the boxes onto the pallets because it can break the pallet, but he goes back to doing his thing within a couple of days. Despite his thing for having a short memory, he's good for a laugh or two. Today he asked if Alaska is another country... I'm pretty certain he went to school.

disappointed at Skyrim, they didn't put a lot of effort into the 2 beast races it feels like. Minor spoilers--> I just tested both as vampires in dawnguard and neither has the glowing vampire eyes the human races get.(haven't tried elves but probably the same as humans) they do get vampire eyes but they look very dull with no shine to them. also the fangs look really funny on them.(especially argonian).

Ugh. There is this one mod on the FA forum that is super annoying. She acts like she knows everything about art and only her opinion matters. If I say that it would be nice to be able to charge a little more than $30 for art... well, then I should quit until I improve dramatically and "get a real job" (which I already have) or "stop whining" ... which I wasn't doing. Or that I don't depend on art to pay my rent... but I like to offer commissions because then I can draw good quality pictures for others (I do draw doodles for free) and not be stuck drawing my own fursona over and over again... well, SHE draws for people for free so "f*** that noise!" and my reason is "a stupid excuse!" I also "often shamelessly promote [my]self in threads" ... uh, that is what the Black Market forum on FAF is for and when I post my service in 'looking for' threads I apparently come off as "not really caring and money grubbing" ...

Got home and tried to transfer the files onto my computer, and the ****ing SD card corrupted.
Spent the last hour or so trying to recover the files, but that'll apparently take over 2 hours (if it works at all), and I need to get the camera (card inclusive) back to my school in half an hour...
I am really, really not happy right now.

Despite how cool today is, I'm having problems cooling off...
(must be residual heat from the last two or three days)
Really? I thought it was as easy as saving the image as a 256x256 pixel PNG image and importing it...
it's supposed to be easy. But for whatever reason it just keeps telling me image is corrupt if its proper and its the wrong format or size if its not. a few it just accepts and changes nothing.
ever get that feeling after having a few days off and showing up to work that the schedule got changed on you.
I showed up to work at my usual 1030-7 shift to find out i were scheduled for only a 6 hour shift starting at 1230.
My stomach's been trying to kill me for the third day. I really need to get better before this weekend ends. :-\
gotta work saturday "I dont wanna feeling to lazy" *rolls over* "Naaaah"
hopes you feel better tef
My new smartphone has somehow drained my prepaid cell plan dry, and since my carrier's website is down right now, I can't find out what went wrong! >:(
Having a sore throat. Loads of fun.
My room mate is a grade "A" #@$^*!!!! *cranky and annoyed*
Was hanging out last night with some fur friends and went out to the store, nailed a rather large racoon...
Now I gotta see about getting my front bumper mended together again after the nice shatter that incident left >.=.<
Long stupid day at work followed by finding out the one friend I was looking forward to seeing this entire month now is called in for a solid 2-week stretch of fire patrols just so unfortunately on the days I booked off to travel out and see her >.=.<
I can always just re-book the time... but at the same time its a downer that it wont happen this month..
You can see it as performing a good action by going on patrol. Though it is a pain you need to postbone to meet up again.
Fear and incertitude can be quite common.

Have you tried some percussive maintenance? I have a mallet and Klingon pain stick you can borrow.
Not sure how I did it, but the muscle that stretches between my neck and my right shoulder is pretty unhappy with me right now.
Lifting things heavier than a certain amount in the general direction of my face is kind of painful... =>.<=
People who endlessly moan and whine about MLP. It's amazing how many people are offended that a harmless cartoon has become popular!
Or for that matter people that whine all the time. At times they request attention but at times it is also a matter of seeking constructive feedback.
EDIT: Okay, maybe I should throw myself into the bunch and share similar complain everyone else has been sharing: There too much that needs to be done and too little time.

LAWLZ yah :p But it just seems silly that the BC people can't all talk to eachother easily. You gotta wait for someone to reply and you can't always keep checking back in constantly. I'm so glad the AB site has one, makes talking to people easier and much more enjoyable :p

Damn, same deal with retainers. I can't enjoy a Tim Hortons Coconut/Chocolate donut without coconut flakes stuck in my retainers.
my complaint - this time - is when someone replies to a comment you made a month ago and gives no reference to the original comment. so now you have to try and find the original comment if you even saved it in your outbox. if you did not save it then you are hooped as to what the reply is about. when i click reply why does it not include a copy of what i am replying to similar to that of yahoo mail?

LOL, this happens to me ALL the time. x'D
:C I feel like crying. I know I shouldn't... this guy is just an asshole... still, it bothers me that he would look me up on another site after I blocked him from one just to send me this:
you need to learn how to draw. your art is like a five year old. you draw worse than a child. a friend of mine said tina looks like a spaniel. you have not bothered to read the story as you only care about ripping gray off. you are a selfish person. you blocked me because i am right. the only reason you get comissions id becuse you are cheap. i was told how you got tinas panties wrong becsue you were to lasy to read the story like you were paid to. you messed up another part of the story where Tina has eight little teats which will upset the next chapers. you give good artists a bad name. you messed up what car ray had to. learn to draw you troll.
Firstly, the author of the story has never complained once. He loves how I draw the comic. In fact, he offered to pay me more than my asking price per page. I think the character looks cute the way I draw her. She is a poodle with straightened hair on her head/ears and a poofy tail, but all the other fur is shaved really close to the skin, but not totally bald. This nut job complains that she isn't hairy around her nipples... well sorry, but I think that looks gross and I wouldn't want to draw it that way. He is also pissed that I didn't know details like what type of car the male lead drives... even though it wasn't mentioned... so I picked a car on Google!Images that looked easy to draw, as machinery isn't my forte.
FFFFF Sorry, stupid obsessed fan, that I haven't had the time yet to read (while turning into a script) 100 chapters. The author and I wanted to get this project started right away. I have the feeling that he is the sort of jerk that watches a movie and bitches endlessly that it wasn't EXACTLY THE SAME as the book/comic/game it was BASED on.
Still makes me upset that someone would bitch like this about something that they DON'T EVEN HAVE TO READ.
That is just and over-obsessed geek who has no life and is so damn attached to the story because he has no life of his own.
heh Yeah, I emailed the story author and shared the PM with him. He looked and it turns out, it is this one obsessed fan that we both know of. He was just using another account because Grey wouldn't talk to him anymore on his main one. He apparently thinks that the story is the most perfect work in the entire world and nitpicks everything (even when the author has made a mistake of his own) to death because he knows the story inside and out.
I drew two snark pictures after this happened, and I feel better now. :)
do a story line with this idiot in it and then kill it off symbolicly ending the relationship with this fur. then hopefully s/he won't bother you again.

Haha, that's weird. I just watched a bunch of videos about dolphins recently. XDD I also want to know their language!!!
did you know there's a guy actually working on translating the language of dolphins? I don't remember his name, but as far as I know, he has identified what are individual words (not what they mean though) and proven that they have syntax, so hes obviously still a ways from succeeding but its really exciting! how awesome would it be to be able to talk to dolphins? I would move somewhere where dolphins are normally found and make one my BFF, because seriously, HOW AWESOME would it be to have a dolphin as a friend? BEST THING.

Nova Science Now : How Smart Are Dolphins? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwhoLlu8D_g#ws)
Also there's a lady that is studying cuttlefish and trying to figure out their language. :3 Saw it on National Geographic a while ago.
That was a pretty cool video! but I always knew dolphins were smart, just seeing the way they act and hearing stories of things they have done was enough to convince me <3 coolest animals, aside from maybe cats, cats are really cool too.
Cuttlefish have a language? that's news to me, though it's not surprising, most carnivores tend to be much smarter than herbivores, as it takes planning and problem solving to hunt, also meat provides much more energy than plants, which enables higher brain function!

Yes! I was surprised too, they don't use sound though. They flash colours to communicate to their fellow cuttlefish. I was trying to find the video about it on YouTube but have yet to see it anywhere.
And yes, cats fucking rock my socks off. XDDDDD Haha.

You should buy a styptic pencil for that. :3
Oh, yeah maybe I should, I didn't even realize those were a thing, but they make a lot of sense! idk what it is about shaving cuts but they just don't clot like they should, something about the blade being so sharp or something I guess. of course I'm not in the habit of cutting myself while shaving, just some weird thing happened with the razor pushing some of my skin in a way it normally wouldn't and it managed to cut me.
Man I got so much exercise today, and I've been eating so healthy I decided to treat myself to a pizza... BAD IDEA by the time it got here, I didn't want it anymore and now I feel greasy gross and a little guilty... why do I always trick myself into thinking I want pizza, I NEVER DO! I ALWAYS REGRET IT!

I DO THE SAME THING! D: Except it's always with A&W for me! I love their teen bugers so much, but after I've eaten one I feel digusting and I get stomach pains for the rest of the day. :-\
Also, something for me to complain about...my boss keeps trying to get me to work night shifts and then work morning shifts the next day. >:(
oh, yeah I had that once, I came in two hours late and my boss never did it again.
are you mostly vegetarian? cause if you spend too long without eating meat sometimes you can lose the ability to digest it properly, that might explain the stomach pains.
That post about eating too much pizza and feeling disgusting reminded me of how I love Nanimo bars so much, but i can only eat 2 in a sitting because of how sweet they are :(
it wasn't so much eating too much pizza as eating pizza at all. and yeah I agree, nanaimo bars are hard to eat too much of, I become nauseated if I eat more than one or two bites of one, they are just so rich and heavy and sweet.

Ummmm, I'm no longer going to be a teenager next week? xD;; Not really sure if it's something to complain about, but there it is.
EDIT: Does that chick have tanned skin, dark hair and is pretty tall? (Like 5'7" or something?)
hahaha no not that kind of DGAF, like actual DGAF, as in she doesn't seem to give a shit about anything haha, not the duck lips fake tan 300 dollar tee shirt DGAF (I wouldn't associate myself with people like that)
Yeah I remember when I turned 20 I was like, "well damn, I'm not a teenager anymore" was weird cause it had felt like I had been a teenager for my entire life, but it's not really a big deal, if you think about it there's no significant difference between 19 and 20.
also, wanna complain that FA is STILL down, AGAIN! D: I need my art fix!

Hahaha! XDDD I know what you meant silly. I was asking what she looked like because I used to know a girl who was really sarcastic and had a "no fucks to give" personality. Then she moved to Vancouver, so I was just curious if it magically happened to be the same chick.
Yeah, it's no biggy to me really. XD I think I'll really freak out when I turn 50, but yeah, being a teenager felt like such a long time.
Well, if aubrey de grey has a say in it, the age of 50 might not be so bad, in fact people wouldn't even need to know you were 50 cause you would look 25 (this is why I love this guy)
She was a little shorter than me, I'm bad at estimating but I guess she was probably 5 5 or 5 6, pale skin, and pink hair, so I don't think it's the same person haha, the worlds a small place but it's not THAT small O.o
oh man, I just realized it's 4:30 I need to go to bed, I'm up much later than I wanted to be D:
Definitely not the same chick. XD And I dunno man, you may be surprised how small the world really is.
I should probably go to bed too.... >.>;;

Blunt, honest and to the point, I like your style and I gotta agree. Not just on any sort of happenings as of late, I mean throughout the fandom as a whole. Its hard to find really thought out topics that do invoke a deeper response that don't go belly up at the first sign of a different view point that doesn't agree. If we for ever shield ourselves from everything out there that doesn't jive with us rather than finding a way to deal with it, we will for ever have an Achilles heel socially.
It's to do with timing, mate. With all due neutrality, there's a time for everything in terms of posting your point out, and at that time, man, it was fuel to the fire.
I don't have a lot of work shifts next week. Pooey. :(
I just had to throw out an entire smoothie because I tried adding one single tiny fish oil pill to it thinking it wouldn't affect the flavor noticeably and that it would be a nice way to boost my omega 3 intake. BAD IDEA eugh it was so gross, the flavor of fish overpowered the flavor of the fruit and it made me want to vomit. I think my fish oil pills must be rancid or something because even though they don't expire for another year their flavor is so strong that when I take them I can taste fish when I burp (oh they also make me burp) for about 8 hours, in fact the flavor of the fish oil is so potent, that I cant taste it a little bit in the second smoothie I made even though I washed the blender (without soap) immediately after dumping out the first one.

This thread is to discuss things we feel the need to complain about. My complaint is about people who are unable to tolerate opposing views and feel the need to censor others to shield themselves and their weaknesses. That thread may be correlated to my argument however the specific topic of discussion is not a concerning factor.
: Fleurette September 09, 2012, 06:28:08 -06:00

What nightmare? The fact that someone took your topic of discussion and disagreed with your point of view? YOU wanted to have a race related discussion. You started the whole line of discussion. Just because you cant handle it when it gets a little heated doesn't mean everyone needs to be censored. You don't get to claim some moral high ground Ex Post Facto.

Your argument is invalid. In a forum style discussion in which the participants all post on separate schedules timing becomes irrelevant. As well, to say that I was fueling the fire is a responsibility sidestep. Its not my responsibility to censor myself in acquiesce to your sensibilities. Its everyone's responsibility to be able to control their own emotional reactions to things. If you can't handle a discussion don't participate.

Thanks Drake. I'm a very direct and honest person. I hate pandering to the lowest common denominator. You're completely nail on the head though. Some people need to nut up or shut up. I don't know how many times it needs to be said but if you cant handle your emotional reaction to WORDS you should just Alt+F4 and go sob in the corner. I'm glad you have the strength of character to seek out in depth and contentious discussions.
What's the matter? I'm not even offended, nor am I emotional about it. I was merely suggesting the reasons as to why one would be offended. Like I said, ad verbatim, "with all due neutrality". Please don't drag your accusation and authoritative exclusion from the topic upon me, or people interested in the debate at hand.

Fish oil smoothie...sounds like a desperate health marketing campaign to advertise omega-3 products. xD
my complaint is people using these threads to chat with others. that is what the "send member a private message" option is for. if you don't like what they say make a comment, BUT, when it gets to be a discussion between 2 people, then go PRIVATE. use this thread to complain. not to ramble on. make your bitch then shut up. if you agree the say so, and if not say so but then shut up.
with all the complaints i see here there really is only a need for 48 pages of complaints, but there is now 110 pages filled with bs comments.
make your complaint then shut up and get on with life.
I get annoyed when people try to take a light mood and, for lack of better words, grumpy it up. >P
It irritates me when people complain about having to read things they don't have to read.

How terrible that sounds is outrageous! D:
the outrageousness of it (and also the fact that I can't sleep) is distressing!
I'm absolutely vexed with my lack of falling asleep as well! xD
Out of everything that annoys the hell out of me when it comes work, it has to deal with people who just stand there and watch you work. I have no problem if people pop their head into the container and/or turn their head as they're walking, but it's when people feel the need to lean against the wall and/or pole and stare. Makes me wish we could flash them and say 'here's something to look at.'
I think I hunched over while I slept last night (probably was a bit cold) and now my left shoulder hurts! =>.<=
Why can't there be skytrains that go to places like nanaimo, victoria, abbotsford, mission, hope, princeton, kelowna, kamloops, and other such places, it would make things so easy for people without cars. if I ever become an eccentric billionaire I'm going to build impractical public train systems that go everywhere.
Looks like I'm hooped on my now-dead penlight.
The company that made it seems to have vanished (at least, their website isn't working), the store I bought it from doesn't have it in their catalogue anymore, plus it's out of their warranty period.
Oh well, at least it served me well the 11 months I had it for.
Now to find another one...
I hate waking up in a bad mood because I had a really depressing dream. :<

Bleh, mostly just a bunch of past drama and sad stuff randomly that happened years ago. .____.
Another dream I had though was about my upcoming birthday party and all my friends decided to go to one of their houses and order pizza and say fuck it to my plans and ditched me. XD It's really silly, but I was really butthurt over this dream even though they'd never do that to me. Only dream I want to mention. xD;;;
I was in such a good mood when I went to bed so all the dreams I had were really out of the blue.
aww, that sounds like a really sad dream! :-\
This. I know it is a first world problem, but still. :-\

I was really really really hungry, so I bought a huge sub from safeway, then I bought some more meat to put on it, and I came home and doubled the amount of meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomato that was on it, this thing is two feet long and about a sixth of that wide, I don't know why I thought this would be a good idea, but I don't see myself eating it all before it goes bad >.< stupid stupid decisions can be made when one is hungry, I thought I'd learned my lesson with the pizza last week that making decisions based on my stomach is a bad idea.

It was really messy because I had a lot of company over Sat. night. XD Not the sober kind either, so it was bound to get messy.
And I used to have a cleaning day, but that stopped when I got my new job since my schedule is really random rather than being set. v.v;; I usually just clean whatever day I don't work. And I definitely know that feeling of accomplishment, it's so good. XD

After wrangling stuff and furniture around my room on Sunday (I got my brother's old desk), which involved a lot of standing on my knees for some reason.
And due to the fact that I got up from my pseudo-kneeling position with the same leg each time, my right knee was doing all the balancing.
Monday I spent avoiding stairs as much as possible because the muscle on the left side of my right knee (that wasn't designed to keep my balance) was quite sore.
Bending my right knee and putting weight on it was rather painful.
Today it's a little better, but I still have to go out and deliver my newspapers, which involves stairs... =>.<=
Arghh.....Readings....assignments for class....BOOM. -.-
AFTER THIS WEEKEND I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY MONEY! :'D It's all good though~ :thumbs:
No money? O.o where'd all that money you were talking about earlier go?
4:04 am, sleep not found.
Nigh-on crippling back pain. Damaged a couple ribs two months back, and it seems they didn't heal quite right, and my skeletal muscle is complaining about the fact by not letting me tilt or turn my head without ice-pick pinpoint pains. Can't sleep right, can't move properly... think it's time for me to try and find a non-quacky chiro. Recommendations?

Yeah, I noticed one of those yesterday in the general board, I was about to post a comment but before I did, I realized that person way being an attention wh*re. So I didn't give them what they wanted
People get annoyed by little things too often that really aren't as significant as they make it appear. :P
Zythren.... i hope your comment ""Whiny cunts who make bullshit "farewell" posts to satisfy their pathetic need of getting the last word in."" was not in regards to the post - stepping back by lusipher that was not a drama post like others i have seen. it was a post to everyone that he needs to step back, is telling all why, and is easier than trying to contact everyone individually. no drama. he is a stand up guy.
as for some 'people' in this community, they just use others for what they can get. some take take take. others give give give. somewhere the give and take has to meet in the middle.
before you complain about a person and their post, i suggest you gather some more facts and get to know about the person and their reputation BEfORE you call them a c**t. please remember also there are underage members and they can read this, so let's keep the comments G rated.
if your comment was not about lusipher, i apologize for some of this rant. but keep in mind the G rating comments.

This is why I put all bread in my freezer, I use like a loaf every 2 week at best, so it seems like a waste to only get a few good days. If you don't mind thawing or toasting it, I would do that ^.=.^
My complaint for the day: People, there are some days I just could care less about being part of this race and yet I sadly feel like I am still more "human" than those who actually take pride in being one.
Tokar made me hungry when he described (in detail!) bread beans and stew in the "things to be happy about" section, and I had no bread or beans :(

I was supposed to have my tubal ligation today. I got to the hospital at 2:10pm as instructed. Got admitted, filled out more paperwork in another area, changed into hospital gowns... Then sat in another waiting room until 4:30 (an hour past my scheduled surgery) until a nurse came up and told me that the current surgery ran REALLY late and now they didn't have time for me. Grr. So I had to get redressed and have to call my gyno (who is my surgeon) on Monday to reschedule.
At least last time they phoned me three days in advance to cancel. This time my sister took the day off of work to help and the shop I work at was closed until 1:30 (today and tomorrow) 'cause no one can cover for me.
thats the healthcare system for ya, if it's life threatening they only make you wait for about five hours to get treatment everything else is like winning the lottery.
In fairness to the healthcare system, which is at times less than inspirational, they cannot simply conjure doctors to fill shortages. It can be frustrating, though, for sure. :( I hope the third time proves to be, as they say, the charm, Zenia.
someday soon they may be able to construct doctors though, robotics are starting to go into the realm of sci fi movies.
I can't go to bed, there is too much science to learn! must learn all the science! ALL OF IT!
Yes, I hope the third time is the charm. :P I've been wanting the surgery for 15 years, and have been waiting since last October to get it done. I suppose I can't complain too much though, since MSP covers the whole cost.

A whole week after moving my new desk in, I still haven't moved the old desk out.
Granted, I did injure my knee that day, so had to rest for a couple of days after that, but I still haven't been doing much towards moving it out...
This bloody cold is sure as hell persistent. -.-
I concure with the above post day 2 and feeling worse :P
eugh, I feel like shit.
This spicy food is burning my mouth but I can't stop eating it. XDDDD
First I recover from the bloody cold, and now I have a headache? -w-
oww, my neck, I have the worst cramp or kink or something in my neck right now and it really really hurts.
I couldn't even sit still today - I feel like I've been treated to an overdose of caffeine ever since I got back from lunch. >w<

This situation exactly. Gaaah, the guilt.
i really hate GW2 now. game is decent enough but ive had a few major problems one of which was account hacked and everything not nailed down was sold and taken. mostly that the Guild Wars 2 support team is probably the worst i have seen out of the 5 tickets i have submited for support not 1 has actually been read, they reply to it based entirely on the title of the ticket.
when i logged in after getting hacked first thing i did which is the most basic first step of it was change my password then submit a ticket explaining and asking what can be done. they took about 7 days to get back with asking for my account info and email so i can log back in....... then another 5-6 to change my password on me and that was it.....

This follows the law of entropy. There will always be more chaos than order. There will always be more unhappiness than happiness in life. That's just the way the universe is. The good news however is that entropy can be fought through the input of energy. Expend energy making yourself happy, fight entropy, profit!

This is true, but I'm not sure it's because of entropy, I think it's a trait evolved by humans to be a driving factor for our survival, it seems to me that if people were happy easily they would have no motivation to do things, and we would die out like the pandas.

Yup extreme negative reinforcement. Anytime one of them is caught being mean to the other, remove a privilege. TV, Internet, Phones. Whatever they care about you take away. You can choose how long it should be for. If that doesn't work escalate, start throwing things they love out. Guaranteed they will quickly either stop misbehaving or get good enough at hiding it that its no longer a problem for you.

Paranoid delusions that people are actively against me. Regardless of how unfounded, my brain automatically assumes the very worst about every social

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one. I suppose though that you never know just how much you might have in common with someone until you ask them what they think about a wide range of things. Of course that requires that you reach out to people which starts that whole paranoid spiral <.<
Yet another young life taken at the hands of bullying... It's really depressing to see and hear of these things happening nowadays, and really, things can be done to stop them, it just never happens in time to stop it from happening sadly... RIP Amanda Todd. ):
Cyclists who assume that they can just turn front of an on-coming car and then get pissed off when they almost get clipped. Seriously, how many fucking brain cells does it take to LOOK where the fuck you are going? Hand signals do not just magically get rid of on-coming vehicles, especially when you are right BESIDE the fucking vehicle when you do it and don't bother to look over your shoulder.
Fucking hippies, the jackoff wasn't even wearing a helmet to begin with.
Got drunk. Road my skate board in the rain downy hills to glen eagle to chill with some buddies.

Okay, this is bad. My laptop won't boot right now. It seems the MBR (Master Boot Record for those not in the know) is at the point of failure and won't finish loading the boot system.
I'll try to have a crack at fixing it tomorrow, but not having it right now is rather unhelpful.

Damn, looks like the first few blocks of my laptop's hard drive are completely dead. =>.<=
I've left a LiveCD (bootable CD with Linux on it) trying to read the drive since about noon, and at 3 or so it's still not finished!
If I can spare the $90, I could buy a new hard drive that's double the space of the old one, but that wouldn't get any of my old data off...

i have a couple of complaints
first that Drake did not just teach him a lesson and smash into him. tell the cops he just cut out in front of you. probably wouldn't be any witnesses as nobody wants to get involved.
second .. that it seems odd that some new members get way more attention to their introductions than others do. if you look at the numbers, the ratio doesn't add up. every time we get online we should check to see who is new and say hello to them. make everyone feel welcome. i try to do this and maybe i will never meet the furson but still i welcome them to the community. you may not realize the inner feelings of the person you are saying hi to, but being welcomed just may mean they are a stay at home member or they come out to events. i prefer that they come out and be a part of the active community. if 254 people view the newbies introduction, then there should be at least 100 welcome comments. (taking into account that some will notice other members comments and re-view the intro to see what older (not old in age but membership) have had to say.
lets's welcome everyone each and every one of us

Speaking as both a cyclist and a driver, taking the lane (which is what that's called) is sometimes the only alternative to getting squished between traffic and a line of parked cars and potentially eating a car door.
That's not in any way to say there aren't rude, arrogant cyclists out there, because there certainly are.
Rousing one's self from sleep at a wretched and unholy hour, and combating one's way backwards through the early-morning-fuster-cluck-transit-rush to get to YVR for a flight that will be delayed by at least two hours as soon as one walks through the doors of the terminal. At least there will be reasonably priced breakfast, right? :p

There needs to be laws that prevent cyclists from doing things like that, and if there are already laws in place like that then they aren't enforcing them enough

Fox Amoore's music is so good that some of his songs affect me so intensely I get shivers, and waves of pleasure that I feel with my whole body, it's the only music that has ever really had this effect on me (aside from maybe a handful of other songs) well the most recent song of his to do this to me is "Angels and Demons" normally this would be a good thing! but the vocals don't start until half way through the song, and then the good part of the vocals, the part that gives me shivers is SO SHORT, it's such a tease! it leaves me feeling cheated and wanting more D: so frustrating!

My scale is on drugs, I eat and drink roughly the same amount every day, but for some reason my scale seems to measure my weight as remaining about the same for like a week, sometimes even going up a bit, then suddenly going below the previous lowest point by 2-3 lbs. There is no way I lost 6 lbs over the course of 24 hours, because I just don't eat enough food for the 5-5.5 lbs extra loss on top of lost fat.
Oh well, as long as the number keeps going down I'm happy!

Debating getting a refund on my suit because the guy making it has horrible communication skills and can't even remotely keep a time frame, in fact he hasn't even started it, and the down payment was made 10 months ago.. The original quote was it was to be done 6 months from the down payment date.

I hate skirts. >( I don't understand how girls can constantly wear dresses/skirts. I suppose it's because of my love to sprawl and not feel restricted, but they drive me crazy, I can only wear them for a couple hours at most.
Actually Nibi, I have more respect for ladies (and gents) wearing high heel shoes. That almost cries for crime against humanity.
Does bad back count too as a complain?
I'm sad because my landlord decided to change his mind about dogs in our house. This means i can't get a puppy now. Also i worked all morning just to get called in to help close... i'm kinda cranky now. T.T
I hate high heels. XDD The closest thing to high heels I enjoy are boots, which aren't really that close.

I wanted them in my room, I'm almost done removing all these tags and need posters and other things to hang. I wanted to put that above my bed, I got them at howlow so it felt special to me. I can always find them again long the way.. But they won't feel the same :( oh well. When you're around people, ish Japans.
Let's count the ways today sucked...
- Mysterious sharp gastrointestinal pain showing four distinct potential appendix warning signs (Sharp rebound pain, nausea, centerline-to-right pain, and a near-inability to bend down)
- Prompt ER trip due to said GI pain which became a not so prompt battery of tests; I went in at 8 AM. I'm writing this now. Go fig.
- One of those tests, I can only describe as being in a breath-control machine while someone periodically intravenously dumps shots of candy-red fluid into you, that quite literally make you feel like a human teacup; Suddenly and without warning full of chaotic, hot slosh. Still a bit nauseated from that crap
- My veins are almost impossible to find; Not the poor vampire-- er, phlebotomist's fault, it's my arms. Unfortunately, it's my arms, and I'm covered in needle sticks at the moment. Several of which got poked around in a bit to try and find a suitable place to put the IV. To say they ache is something of an understatement. Thankfully, only one of the sticks bruised badly at the surface, so I only sorta look like an addict.
- Edit: I forgot to add, no solid food for me today. Hooray for pre-test fasting.
Good news? No immediate worries with the appendix. Bad news? There are other possibilities, none of which are at all pleasant. Stay tuned for more musteline bitching after tomorrow's tests.

I had appendicitis when I was in Year One. I only found out a couple of days afterwards, so it seems. It was the size of my pinky when the folks cut three holes into my abdomen and excised it out.
You're doing yourself a huge favour for checking the premature tell-tale signs of appendicitis, Selkit. Good for you, no seriously.
Edit: I had a peculiar, yet painful case of something resembling appendicitis but without the appendix - A sense of congested gas of sorts in the abdominal area several months post-operation. Whether it has any tie-ins to appendicitis, I do not know. Just some advice that I hope you may find convenient. Best of luck. :)

the walking dead is so depressing holy shit, yet I'm still compelled to watch it O.o
I know that feel. .3. But it's so good, I can't stop watching it either.
So yeah, I've been getting depressed lately. I think S.A.D. is starting to kick in and I really need to force myself to go outside more when the sun is shining. :-\ Has anybody ever tried light therapy before? I'm just curious if it was ever helpful to anybody because I hate feeling down more then anything else.
For those of you who use transit.
As of Jan 1st 2013 it gets a bit more expensive.
Quoted from CBC News Vancouver - " An adult one-zone fare goes up by 25 cents to $2.75 from the current $2.50. Two-zone fares rise to $4.00 and three-zone to $5.50.
Monthly passes rise to $91, $124 and $170, for one-, two- and three-zones respectively.
Prices on books of Faresavers tickets will not change.
TransLink says the scheduled increase is to cover the costs of inflation. "
This is probably the first of many cost of living increases for 2013 that will be coming in the next few weeks.

I've never been seriously depressed, but fwiw I've found light therapy and low-impact exercise did wonders for seasonal anxiety. Not the same thing at all, but it might be helpful. :P

I don't know about light therapy, but I do know that on a bright sunny day, it takes about 1 second for my mood to go from depressed to ecstatic when I step out into the light.

Regular exercise is one of those things that after you start doing it you'll go "how the heck did I ever manage without this?" You don't have to do anything serious or money-involving, either - just walk for half an hour or something.

Some idiot allegedly spilled his or her coffee down the length of the Skytrain that I was riding to Richmond. Not impressed.
My needle-marks and IV sites from Monday and Tuesday's little medical gauntlet, are still badly bruised. Needle time is hell for someone with hard to find veins. They had five tries at it. Five. Only one of them hasn't turned into a bruise from hell. My forearms look like a junkie's arms at the moment.
oh god, trying new cheeses is a bad idea, this esrom has the worst odour I've ever smelled, it's like sweaty gym socks that were rubbed on some unwashed...erm, nether regions, then doused in honey.

I get this every time I have anything medically done... they spend like a hour trying to find a vein but just keep poking in the whole time at what they think may be a vein. The bruises suck and people stare and tink I have some sort of addiction :P They do go down after a week though!
I think I have a problem with my lungs that I need to get checked out by my doctor. Probably caused by my work. I stand around a strapping machine all day and it smokes burning plastic constantly, because it has to melt the bottom of the strap around a bundle of papers.

The difference between you not wearing pants and me not wearing pants is that while you look cute in your skirts and dresses, I have no such things, so I'm pretty sure I'd get arrested, or at least some really strange looks.

I believe Sevrin was suggesting that he has nothing to wear other than pants, so him not wearing pants would equal him not wearing any sort of lower-body garment. Not that wearing skirts and dresses would get him arrested. :)
I don't think you could be arrested for walking around in your underwear as long as you were, you know, decent, but I'm sure you'd get some very strange looks.

I did sorta look, but not in depth. Just looked and realized that I might not be in as tight a spot as I thought... but still rather impossible with my current situation.
My credit card has a limit of $500. (Yeah, that's Coast Capital Savings Desjardins for you), I will have a flight to pay for, hotel accommodations in Seattle since I intend to explore that area a little more before my flight, and no doubt other expenses like fuel, and food.
I will be able to bring cash to pay for the room though, so I'll be able to pay my own way during the convention.
UPDATE: Might have found somewhere to stay. Thank you so much!
Walking through new west at 12am.. Wtf is with some people. Some Guy runs full hill up the hill at us and tells us to sit down with him... Naw thanks we gotta get on the skytrain peace bro.

I'm having a lot of trouble imagining anything more than five dimensions as a tangible thing, I can see the effect the sixth dimension has on the fifth dimension, but nothing more, and anything above six dimensions seems like bullshit, like something that can only exist in math, but then that gets me thinking, isn't everything just math? aren't all the particles and the way they interact with each other to make what happens happen in the way it does just math? so why can't I visualize whats past five dimensions? I feel like it's right on the edge of my consciousness but I just can't quite grasp it, I'll try again tomorrow when my mind has had time to process these ideas.
Ooooooh doggie, shit's gonna hit the fan tomorrow at work. Doesn't help that I started it by emailing the head honchos about how inadequate our current management is.

Awesome people are deciding to quit at my job and it's really making me want to quit more. .___. The job already sucks, but if all the awesome people leave, I don't think I can handle it anymore. Got to get my printer to work tonight to make some resumes and start looking for another place. Christmas time is probably a terrible time to look for work though. :\
month and a half or so after getting stabbed in the knee shes all healed up but now i get random pains and it gets stiff when i wlak around or sk8 for too long, im so gnna get that bitch back for that
I think that this is quite possibly the worst physical feeling I've had in a while. A night with no sleep, no food and then blood taken. Egads I feel awful.
Edit: Oh great and now my back is acting up. Damnit. At least Sushi will be awesome tonight!
Been applying for jobs everywhere lately... Safeway phoned me up yesterday and I got all excited because I thought I had found work at last! Phoned up and it turned out to be a position in the Starbucks there... completely took the wind out of my sails.

So disappointed right now..
I was really looking forward to adopting this one puppy, Astro, from the Pet Cetera on Lougheed (yes, I know, a "Pet Cetera" dog, boooooo; I don't give a damn about that crap) and I had given my number to a sales associate to give to a general manager about putting deposits down until I fully pay him off, and then I called today asking about them calling me, because it's been over 2 weeks, and I find out that he's adopted, when I specifically was told that Astro was to be put on hold for me..
That's the one thing that really frustrates me, is that some people can't follow simple instructions. I feel like downright complaining about this because I am pissed off, and so is Felix, because he was there, too :(

It's Softpedia and other software aggregation sites I'm concerned about.
I'd posted a few of my personal software projects online through my university webspace, and they were somehow picked up by those sites.
Though after checking, it seems those sites have already noticed that the files are gone and have removed the links.

Turns out hot glue really is as useless as professor always mentions! They fell apart twice as badly as before. I walked home in bare feet about 9 blocks. Fun times. I love bare feet in the summer, but December is really not the ideal time for it.
PS: WHEEE INSOMNIA.
Great... now my truck's off the road with a loose alternator belt and a flat battery. Could be worse I guess... at least I got it towed home safely. Kinda ruins my plans for driving it to Seattle for my flight to FC though... might just have to take Greyhound. Oh well...
Felt kinda silly sitting on the side of the highway with the hazard lights barely working... at 11pm at night.
I daren't touch it in case I cause an explosion... I'm not skilled with mechanics and high-explosive batteries either
even though there have been many reminders about the age range of the members of BCF, some people still insist on writing comments that use words they wouldn't use in front of their grandmothers, or a judge in a courtroom.
come on people, let's all do better to keep the comments G rated unless your comment is done in private. (that means in a private message and not in a comment box in the profile)
i am not a prude as i use these words on a regular basis when in the company of adults, but some members are not yet adults, so lets restrict the use of these words to confined adult communications.
It's quite the interesting point, but perhaps in the society of today, what constitutes as offensive diction in the past is not so as it is today. I daresay that the 6 letter word beginning with an F and ending with a T is more grave to our generation than the four letter F word or the language of the church.
Regardless, nobody likes somebody with a potty mouth. :P I don't get butthurt over foul language, but it does make people seem less intelligent and mature if they can't use proper English without all the profanities. XDD
Pitt Meadows. It's pretty sorta but aaaaah it's boring as shit. .__.
Oh, and one more thing on my part.
I was filming snow geese when some dolt decided to let his dog unleashed. Cue the flying of hundreds of snow geese over my head, and avian airstrikes.

I know that one. :( Though I find for me it's usually an intensifier rather than a direct cause. Last fall was a complete mess for me after something else sparked it off.

Occasional profanity's all right as long as it's not someone going off on a long invective-laden rant, and I daresay most of the underage members of the forum probably aren't going OH NO I'VE NEVER HEARD ANYONE SWEAR BEFORE either. And, as Selkit mentioned, it's not banned in and of itself.
People who are always complaining about language use are more annoying then the language use ever is. Nobody likes to be censored so its best not to pointlessly try.
On another note what really raises my hackles is when people don't feel punctuality is important.

make one comment to remind, not censor anyone, about their language use and you get accused of doing it all the time. some people need to get out more.

Fortunately my truck isn't as hard to fix as I thought... all I need is a new alternator belt and someone to fit it.
My complaint... my dad's in England and I need that alternator belt fitted before I can acknowledge a request for an interview as a delivery driver!

I'm sending all my prayers out to the families of lost ones and pray that they also rest in peace :-[
Attempting to work on a comic project with a commissioner. I am giving him the discounted rate ($5 less per page) since his comic is supposed to be around 20 pages. He initially asked if we could do it in 3 page chunks since he couldn't pay the entire $200 at once. I said it was ok.
Being used to working with this other comic commissioner, I made the first three pages ahead of time and waited until he paid the first installment. He put it off for a week because an artist he had "been watching forever" had an auction and he spent all his money on it, but he did eventually pay the $30 so I sent the pages. He green lighted the next three pages right away and said "I can't wait to see this weekends pages!" so (it was Tuesday) I made up the next three pages and sent the watermarked, tiny versions that Saturday morning to prove the work was done and a PP invoice.
He didn't even respond. The next weekend, he sent me a Note saying that he was sorry but the new WoW expansion was on sale or something and he wanted to buy it. The weekend after that he ignored me again so I sent a PP invoice reminder. He ignored it. I sent one last night. Still ignored.
It is now 3.5 weeks later and still nothing. I see him in the FA forums looking to hire people for various illustrations (and he has a thread looking for a plushie maker now) but hasn't paid me yet. This is frustrating.
I just sent him a Note on FA asking about my payment. After this, I am canceling the project. He can find someone else to work on his comic.

I think this is the second time I've seen you mention a commission gone wrong. D: I hope this doesn't happen too often, seems like a pain in the butt.
not sure if this is the right thread but here goes. it is regarding the american's desire to have a gun in every pocket and the tragedies that have dominated the news lately especially the newtown ct school.
i think it is now time for the us to start talks about gun control. the right to bear arms will be no more since it is 150 yrs out of date.

I thought Americans wanted NO guns period? ???
(or maybe there's two groups, one that wants no guns at all, the other of which wants guns. Not counting criminals, of course)
Zenia, I do have a good idea as to what you should do. I'd highly recommend that you check this site out.

@tokar: It's the media moguls, the rich, wealthy and corrupt bourgeois that is fuelling this fear and kissing up to the NRA. Until we can defeat every single one of their protection-paid lawyers with one single swoop, this gun problem will continue.
If I had several years more in terms of academia, you'd bet that I'd do a Masters paper on the Media, and how it leads to corruption, and violence, and you name it, the lax gun control.
I'm actually getting fed up with the people who think that getting rid of guns will solve all these problems.
Guess what! Criminals don't follow laws! =>.<=
Tef: Yeah, I read AB all the time... I might have to post this up there. He has now promised to pay me (and apparently a crap load of other artists) by Jan 1st.
Anyway, new complaint... I bought a WiiU yesterday (which is awesome) but the gamepad won't charge. Now I guess I have to return it. >____>
In addition to my truck needing a new alternator belt and someone to fit it for me... the lightbulb in the hazard light on the left hand side needs replacing. Tried to lever the thing open so I could access where the bulb is... but it's behaving like it's been super-glued to the metal or bolted in or something >:(

I agree with this a lot, there's more to it then getting rid of guns. I read this earlier today and it really does reflect how a feel about media and how things work nowadays
Morgan Freeman:
"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.
It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single victim of Columbine? Disturbed people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.
CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.
You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."

If you asked me who those other two names were, I wouldn't have been able to tell you that either.
Just realized I forgot myself and I've been being negative as of late, complaining too much, talking about things I don't like, being a bit of a downer, I really hate when this happens :P

that blows, I was stuck in Lilooet (42 Celsius) for a day, and then Lytton (44 Celsius) the next day because my family decided to take a crappy Westfalia into the interior last summer
I spent a bunch of time picking out what I thought was a perfect gift for someone for a Secret Santa exchange and was really looking forward to watching him open it, but he decided to blow off the gift exchange and it's still sitting there unopened.
If he doesn't open it by the end of the day on Friday, I'm bloody well taking it back.
Was supposed to have 4 friends show up to bake with me all day and only 1 showed in the afternoon for 2 hrs till she had to go to work. :< Disappointed with my others friends for not telling me before today that they couldn't make it (two of them definitely could have told me beforehand). I was really looking forward to hanging out with only my girl friends for the first time in, well, years. :\ I had been looking forward to this day since we all planned it together and it didn't feel good. v.v;; On the plus side, at least my one friend made it despite working at 4pm (was very appreciated). ^^;;
But yeah, lately I've just been feeling really disappointed with people which sucks since it's almost Christmas. Usually I'm in very high spirits and nothing can get me down. I feel stuck in a hole that I can't get out of. v.v

Kinda happened to me too... the wind woke me up at 3:30am and I didn't get back to sleep for another two hours - wanted to get up at 9am to get some story writing done and maybe have a couple of roleplays on Skype, but ended up sleeping in until mid-day due to lost sleep by the storm.

something that bugs me is people that can't, don't or just refuse to put either spaces or a period at the end of their sentences. by doing one or the other it breaks up the thought so that the reader knows when to read the next few words as a new sentence. sometimes the following words could go with the previous words but then they don't make sense, so you have to go back and re-read what was written so that you can take the time to figure out where the one sentence ends and the next begins.

Been looking at how I'm going to get home from Seattle after FC. Victoria Clipper, Amtrak, Greyhound and Bolt Bus are out of the equation - as is Washington State Ferries combined with public transit. Quick Shuttle seems to be the only realistic option - leaving SeaTac at 15:00 and arriving at River Rock Casino at 19:05 - meaning I have to take the 21:00 ferry back to Victoria and won't be home until almost midnight.
I wonder if any other furs are going to be driving to Vancouver from SeaTac after FC on Tuesday... guess I'll have to post on the FC forums.
My head feels like someone took an axe to it.

I really dislike it when people whine to get free art out of me. I posted a macro/micro pic of my character and a commissioners character last night. Over on SF I got a comment like "I really want to **** you Zenia!" so I played it off and was like "Well, pics like this are only $5!"... as getting a doodle commission of my character is free and they just pay for their character. Then they go "If I knew you IRL would it be free?" so I said "*shruuuuuuugs*" not knowing what to say, as he is giving off a 'I want to have actual real sex with you!' vibe. Then this morning I have a new message saying something like "Would it kill you to do a freebie? Just this once?!"
... I do freebies all the time. However, there are stipulations.
- You have a general "can someone please make me a picture of my character?" thread on a forum I go to and I see it and want to draw it. If you are polite you get a real picture (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9544102/), if you are rude, you get a stupid picture (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9516790/) (nsfw).
- I go searching around the recent submissions (or search for random keywords) and see a character that I want to draw and just do it (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9543919/).
- People can ask for things on my clean or adult Tumblrs... just no OCs unless they commission those (my character is free) for $5 each.
If I just did freebies for everyone that asked me directly, I would only be doing free art. I like my freebies to be presents.
why must I be sick again >.<

Well, while that
was an option, it's not one I'd particularly appreciate.
It turns out that while I'd told my desktop environment of choice about Chrome (Xfce, not Gnome or KDE), and told several sub-systems about it, I hadn't made Google Chrome set up the defaults.
Doing that fixed the issue. =^.^=

Crackheads. Or whatever kind of (insert illicit substance here)-head tried to grab at my ears earlier. Biggest argument against "legalize substance X or Y" are the idiots that can't handle their chem of choice. Same can be said for alcohol; If you can't drink, don't drink in public.

oh ouch >.< someone dropped a glass in my house a while ago and missed a shard of glass when they cleaned it up... it's still embedded in my foot as far as I can tell.

Dropped a glass and spent several minutes picking hundreds of tiny, near-invisible shards out of my hand. -.-
Once I turned a garberator on, surprised by the loud smashing noise it made I turned off the garberator and looked inside to find I glass. Not thinking I reached inside to take it out and got a 3 inch long piece of glass stuck in my thumb. Not fun.
Back to school. January 2nd. :-\
Doesn't look like I'm gonna be getting much sleep tonight ^_^; ehh, oh well, who needs sleep anyways xD
Six courses and one internship? Challenge accepted? Okay... :-\
I HATE KELOWNA BUSES! D<
Second time I've tried to catch the last bus of the night this week and the bus drove right past me....

I HATE KELOWNA BUSES! D<
Second time I've tried to catch the last bus of the night this week and the bus drove right past me....
I've heard some stuff about Kelowna's Regional Transit System and how it's not very good. It might not be such a good idea to aim for the very last bus of the night because it could be full, or the driver just might not have seen you.
Honestly I'm not sure how Kelowna's transit problems compare to Victoria's... but in Victoria BC Transit has a tendency to run 33-seater buses on the busiest of routes... and as such they end up completely full and unable to pick anybody up for most of the route. An example is the 70X Swartz Bay/Downtown Express - a route which needs a double-decker when it connects with the ferries - is most of the time a single-decker bus with 33 seats. BC Transit's wondering why they've got a capacity problem where pass-ups are frequent... I have the answer. Whether they've taken any notice of me remains to be seen though ;)

The bus was definitely empty and I was standing on a sidewalk that had no trees/buildings around and it was very well lit, so he must have been blind. But yes, Kelowna is terrible. I remember when I went to Vancouver for a weekend and their transit was like heaven to me. :'D
But yeah, BC Transit really needs to get it's shit sorted out, my friends and I who bus a lot always have problems with it and I definitely can't afford to have a vehicle. :\
thoes dicks at quick nav canceled my chartwork couse for the second time, dammit i skipped out on my last trip of tuna which was money i severly needed now their asking if id skip out on halibut tooo. fuck no and fuck you im over your disorganised shit il just do the long one at bcit now fuckers
no sleep again last night >.< and doesn't look like I get to sleep until later today at lease D: my stomach is starting to feel really off (also the huge de-dutch breakfast I had doesn't help xD)
Caught the flu or something the morning after new years. My stomach can't even hold down water.
Sleep cycle is *completely* banjaxed right now. I'm about to go on an overnight shift, and I feel half-dead and wholly disoriented. Being unable to breathe properly asleep right now is not helping either, owing to a horrific allergic reaction to... something. I hate having an overactive immune system some days.

Wubthump music. Great. You have speakers, neighbour. Congratulations. You're irritating and waking a very sick otter who works nights. The building's acoustic insulation is good enough to have let Trapa play action movies on a 5.1 system without any sound bleed-over in this building; If I can hear the music, it's beyond too loud; Frankly I'm surprised they have eardrums left.

Great movie.
Thankfully, I now have cover for the shift; Coworker's rather heroic and volunteered to pull sixteen hours. I believe I owe him an entire case of beer. However, I'm still sore, sitting very awkwardly with a pillow jammed at odd angles behind myself, and cocked over in my seat. If you can avoid slipping on the lawn and hitting pavement on the way down, do it.
you have a doctors note saying take 5 days to heal. take the 5 days to look for a new job.

tokar, i`ll bet nibi is happy most of time, just vents here, for that is what this thread is for :) erm i mean >:(
my current complaint... well more like a frustration... or maybe just a wish, is that when i go to geeky events, that i could tell how old the women are, i cannot tell the 13-17 from the 18-28, cause of make-up and costumes. then of course there`s the availability factor.

I wish I could help you on telling the differences prof. whovianart but I also have a hard time as well. XDD The only give away is the way they act and their face shape. :\ Not much to go by though...
Why does shipping take so long D: My mom just ordered my birthday gift and it's on its way. It's only been a day, but it feels like a week! >.<
Also, I just ate a sandwich like an hour ago and am apparently already hungry again?
Was a furry singing along to "Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado ft. Timbaland at bowling last night... can't get it outta my head and I had to look up the song to listen to it again. Thought it was Torwin, but he says it wasn't.
My ears busted, 2 hospital visits, blood. Slow hospitals..

TABARNAK.
CALISSE DE TABARNAK.
Night at my work tonight was going absolutely well, an amazing night at work all in all. Then at the very end, our last driver decides to be a complete asshole to me. He had some issues with yesterday night and I was calmly explaining to him to the best of my ability why things went the way they did. He proceeded to get angrier as I explained, interrupting me, getting louder and sounding like a broken record. It's hard to explain the same thing in different ways when it falls of deaf ears!
Then after he leaves angry he texts me! He texts me and complains some more. Well now my manager knows about that, he has no right to text me after work on my personal phone about work matters, that's harassment. This guy has been a complete unreasonable asshole since he started working at my job, he really needs to go to some anger management classes or something, maybe medication. I also get a very unsettling gut feeling about him, like he's going to just stalk me home one day or something. Sometimes being a supervisor sucks, even if I make more money out of it.
I cannot understand why people have to be such asshole when they're upset about something, you can be upset but getting mad at somebody else who's trying to help won't make things better! I hate to say it, but I hope he gets fired one day. He's been a pain in the supervisor's/manager's asses since he started at my job.
(This rant probably would have had more swear words but I thought that would be rather immature to have a FUCK every couple words xD;;; )
if your manager is aware but not fully informed about this guy, arrange to have the manager stand to the side and observe the creeps actions towards you. then it will be up to the manager to take action based on his/her observations. something you might try is to make sure that his deliveries are always the last to be ready to go.
and never ever raise your voice to him. stay calm. and as calm as you can tell him you will do what you can to help him out. then out of the blue, after he is starting to arrive later due to his load always being the last, have his order ready first. then give him shit for not being there to pick it up and see how he reacts. seems to me that he hasn't had a good _ _ in years. that or his wife always yells at him so he takes it out on you.
good luck

Lost my scarf. Some charver must've stolen it
I bought some nifty knobs for my DJ controller and was going to get a three-tone color scheme thing going, but I miscounted and my order was one knob short, so now I have to wait another 2-3 weeks for the full effect.
It appears that I left my recently-purchased Lee Valley-branded baseball cap on the bus last week.
Now I'm without... =>.<;=

Insomnia. I don't dig being awake for three hours in the middle of the night.

By waiting and calming a bit before you try to fix anything, I would say. Some rational and sober thought goes a long way towards the empathy that is usually required to fix emotional problems. I, too, struggle a ton with the need to fix something -right now-, and it usually goes pretty poorly for me, when I try.
If I -have- to complain about something, to legitimize my post here, it would be that this week is passing too slowly! Wanna visit Van. furs naaaooo! ^.^

I'm getting sick. Again. Hopefully it'll be gone by Monday.
had to go to the hospital on the weekend cause my breathing so bad, the emerg doc said i had the worst lungs hed ever lisent too now i got these pills and puffers shit sucks
It sucks not having any friends to hang out with that have the same interest as me and what not, or any that do are far as shit away. Makes winter months and what not rather boring ._. to be fair, i got super busy aswell and when i had people that wanted to hang out i couldnt =_= lame. I gotta start going to more events and such, hard for me to get around sometimes tho >.<

just curious, what do you do?
I work at a used car lot, I am officially their lot-boy, but I do way more than that, from vehicle delivery, parts pickup, final sales prep and even the nitty gritty detailing of trade-ins which we already have a guy for, who gets payed a good bit more than me. So pretty much I am getting lame pay to do the most work and people tend to not care if you are busy or even if you are on break, they think everything they want takes priority no matter what.
But like I said, its kinda what I get for working with "sharks" everything is just money in the end and if them getting an extra buck means screwing over a bunch of people, they will do it, no questions asked.
It's not really a complaint, but just something that happened to me the other night that was really odd. I experienced my first sleep paralysis and it was really scary as it was happening but after it had happened and I did research on it, I found it to be more fascinating then anything else. xD;; I had a really scary nightmare/half-ass lucid dream while it was happening so that only made the whole thing worse. Everything was so vivid and real, it's amazing what our brains can do.

Oh well... at least she tried. My hair grows fast too, it'll probably be ready to fix in a week or so.

Okay, trying not to complain too much, and have succeeded at not contributing to this thread very often.
Unfortunately, this is getting far too annoying.
While I have two computers, my laptop is starting to get too old.
The worst part is the cable between the screen and motherboard, as it's causing weird lines and the occasional static across the display.
Poking the wire helps, but only if I poke it in the right direction.
It is effectively immobile now. =>.<=
I'm seriously tempted to try replacing the faulty wires myself, but I don't have any wires that fine, which means that it still wouldn't be portable.
If I recall correctly, I should be able to buy a replacement cable, for about $80+shipping, handling and taxes, but that wouldn't fix everything else that's wrong with it... =>.>=
having a bread making machine and making some fresh bread, hot, with butter mmmmmm
the complaint is having to resist eating it all and saving it for toast and sandwiches

I am so sore from dancing last night and the night before, going shopping was terrible >.<
Being sick throughout the whole con. Nothing screams fun like constantly blowing your nose and rubbing hand sanitizer on your hands every ten minutes.
How I've acted for the past while. I wish I could go back and not do some things and fix my bad behaviors.
Nagging doubts and fears that refuse to be quelled and gnaw on your thoughts all day and night.
I have severely low blood pressure... so I am going to the doctor tomorrow. He will (hopefully) agree that I need a transfusion while some other things get sorted out. If not, I am just gonna go to the hospital. I am in a lot of pain and I can't do any amount of walking (not even 20ft to the bathroom without almost passing out.

That wasn't the same crash my uncle was in, but recently while he was cycling he got hit by a truck, even worse was that when the driver got out to see if he was okay the truck was still on his leg
I just spent almost a week in the hospital. I was on my way to dying of a major hemorrhage. All the hospital staff I talked to were amazed that my blood level was so low and I was still walking around... although it was incredibly hard to do so. I got a blood transfusion (10 units) and I am feeling better now.
The hospital was really boring though and I only got one visitor for 5 minutes 'cause she had to go to work. I mostly laid in the bed, staring out the window. At least I got the window bed.
MGMT tickets randomly went on sale a few days ago apperantly, they like never really announce their tours ever and they show up, i go to get a ticket and they are all sold out already :c was gunna be a present to myself for my birthday XD uuuuggggh if anyone can get ahold of a ticket that i could buy (which i doubt) id be forever grateful. :p
Uggh dude, that's the biggest bummer of life. D: Check craigslist though, there's almost always people selling tickets. I would've also have loved to go to an MGMT concert

i don't know if it is still on the market but there was a toothpaste called Mclean's. it contained chloroform, the stuff doctor's use to put you to sleep before an operation.
and this was deemed to be safe.

Been applying basically EVERYWHERE in Victoria for jobs. Cashier... customer service attendant... sales representative, operations services clerk... you name it - I've applied for it. Unfortunately I don't think it's doing much good because the key to getting any form of employment in these fields now is 'EXPERIENCE' - usually at least six months of it. Nothing is entry-level anymore... and if an entry-level job does come up they're looking for post-secondary qualifications or currently-enrolled students.
Jeez
I'm starting to regret working for Canadian Property Stars.
They get you up early in the morning (6am is way too early for me to get up, at least just yet), and get you home late at night (11pm on Monday, but 10pm for the most part), which wouldn't give me much time to prepare for my next day if I were working consecutive days.
Add to that the fact that I'm not really comfortable doing what is essentially cold sales, and I'm not making much money on them right now... =>.<=

You got to be persistent and really show them you want the job. That's what managers look for, I know I would hire somebody if they were constantly trying to get a job at my work. It shows they have good work ethic and determination and that's a good quality. And if you visit the place regularly and talk to the supervisor/manager and get them to know you, they won't feel as reluctant to hire. Being stubborn is the key. :3
Also, good luck! :thumbs:
Thanks Nibi. It actually paid off - I had an interview today and I start two days of training on Monday :)
My complaint for the night... I bought two tickets for Lotto 6/49 and I didn't win anything on either of them - but came maddeningly close on one of them.
Another day of traveling with a wicked hang over hopfully i dont puke on thhe bus this time
Was buying food at safeway and the guy in front of me whips out a handful of small change, he counts it out down to the last penny... which he didn't have and hands the guy exact change except 1 penny short, so the cashier then has to count it out... well the whole thing took entirely much longer than it had to, and when I finally got out of there I went to the cheap chinese food place... aaaand some guy walks out the door just as I come in with the last (good) box of food <.<;
so no delicious chinese food for me tonight D: thanks penny guy.
Oh the joy of living with your parents. It seems as though my mother has picked up a habit of going through my room and messing things up and basically leaving clues to the fact that she has found my various stashes of random stuff.
That mind numbing feeling when you try and be social and talk with people, but they are incapable of handling any concept or conversation that cannot be summed up in a twitter-length blurb. I am just finding this problem with far too many people these days, especially in the fandom... Some days it feels like people are programed to just omit anything that cannot be summed up in 12 words or less and it gets rather frustrating at times.
What the hell is wrong with evangelists nowadays that they're this dense? Using 9/11 to promote your faith? Seriously? See pic for reference, it's a pamphlet I found on the way home. I think I may have to have a chat with these meatheads next time I see a crowd of them pimping their church at the station, about tact and taste. Utter nonsense...

That's another reason I'm having problems liking my work for Canadian Property Stars.
You get picked up before 8am, which has been around the time the sun starts to come up and is therefore cold, work all day (in the now-hot sun), then get dropped off after 9:30pm, which is again after dark and therefore cold. =>.<=
I feel like a bloody idiot.
I got on my bus to where I thought my interview was going to be (it's on Main Street by the way), and I accidentally sat through the entire bus ride to 29th Avenue Station. I thought I was in the right location so I kept on going in the direction parallel to the road I intend to take if I got off at the right place. Cue a very confused and waywardly lost wolfdog and a rescheduling of the interview session.

People in this world who try and use fancy lingo, short hand or round-about descriptions for things all in an attempt to make themselves look smart and to make you feel stupid for having to ask them about something. It doesn't make one more intelligent by doing this, it just makes them look like a jackass trying to look intelligent.
IE:
"Oh yeah just a 775 running at 1024 FSB"
"A 775? and a FSB what?"
"Duh! Computer processor socket 775 which is what my quad core is and 1024 is how fast the front side bus is, it means the processor can communicate with the system..."

To be, or not to be. This word onto paper eludes me. 'Tis nobler to appear in written form, but the thought refuses to happen. Woe is to me as to how I am to accomplish this feat. If i do not, I shall fail, and it is not beneficial to fail. I must succeed. I must write this paper. I must.

Just got a text message from my landlord saying she sold the house I'm living in and apparently i have to be out by the end of may... and yet i have a contract till October first. Very confused and frustrated..
Refer to the Residential Tenencies Act of BC. I'm pretty sure you have to be given 3 months notice. And the terms of the lease should include something in the event that the landlord wishes to break it.
Overslept and now I feel like crap, even like an hour and a half later.
Having a normal people work schedule and a night owl sleeping schedule.
I'm so hungry that it's making me dizzy, but its like two hours till sushi and I don't want to eat before then D: also I don't have any snacks in the house, just meals.
The job site I'm on is super frustrating. Just keep telling myself life is awesome, hopefully I'll start believing it ^-^

Insomnia... It sucks when you have to be up early...
Here is my "monday" of this week, go into work, find out the truck I wanted to buy was sold right out from under me, no one had the common courtesy to tell me anything in regards to it and just did it all behind my back...like the snakes they are. On top of that one particular jackass co-worker decides he is gonna just up and harass me, pretty much calling me useless and lazy and making it clear he has had a beef with me since I started working there and has been out to try and find ways to get me fired.
The at least slightly more up side to all this is I contacted not only my manager about this, but sent an e-mail to our head office explaining the harassment I have been receiving from this guy and how this latest incident he all but confessed that he is out to instigate things and try and find a way to get me fired cause he doesn't like me.

these people (?) are creatures of habit. they tend to return to the same area often. if it was something important make a police report and then return to the area and look for him. when you find him, do not approach but call the cops and let them deal with it. there might be surveillance pics available. good luck

I don't remember what he looked like, I was too preoccupied. I went back to the same area today hoping to find the guy, but all those derelicts look the same, what would I tell the police? he was dirty, smelly, old and had an unkempt grey beard, I just described half the homeless people in the city, I saw 4 that could have been him today and anything short of him booking it when he sees me I would have no way of finding him.

his parents would not approve. and consider that bus service from maple ridge to Abbotsford would suck.
Yes and parents who never drive me
I'm sorry, but... muffin. You have parents still around, and you aren't housebound; Transit does work, even if it's not the option you prefer.
Takes me 3 hours to get to stars by bus, that doesn't stop me. If you're in maple ridge its gonna suck to get most places either way. Also my parents never drove me anywhere, I was lucky if I could get them to pay my bus fare.
Not being able to pay the bus fare adds to the challenge, especially if you have to convince your parents for it.
We can be fortunate to have public translink. With the right attitude (though you can't always have it) the bus arrives when you need it. At least that has been my experience.
Trying to take the bus home from Superstore today: I texted the bus stop number, then realized I forgot my umbrella in Superstore, I quickly went and got it and when I got back all the people who had been waiting for the bus were gone (even though the bus wasn't supposed to come for another 3 minutes) so I waited for the bus, and it didn't come when it was supposed to... so I waited for the next bus, and THAT one didn't come when it was supposed to. I texted the bus stop number again, both busses had apparently passed me AND the one after them had been delayed 7 minutes... I kept waiting and texting for 50 minutes at that bus stop (this is bus 9, so it comes frequently) finally when I texted it one last time and it said no bus for 20 more minutes I was like fuck it I'm leaving and I went to take the train part way home... well 3 minutes later when I had got on the train, I saw the bus I wanted drive by the stop despite translink saying it would be another 20 minutes...
>.<
I'm sorry in advance, Rainrat, as this is going to strike home uncomfortably for some, but here goes:
Disclaimer: This is not directly related to any one post on the forums, it relates to a recent, disturbing trend.
My complaint today, is that some members of the community, have nothing better to do than commit character assassination against long-standing members who frankly, have been part of the party in some cases since before the younglings toddled out of primary school. Their sole fault is simply that they are passing into middle age or beyond. I'm aware that some of the older members of the community may somehow discomfort you, with their experience, wisdom, cultural age-gap and simply because in many cases, they've been alive twice your span. Their experience, and their cultural differences, alarm you. So what do you choose to do? Rather than making the mature choice to simply not associate, you smear them, you attack them, and make broad, sweeping assumptions about an entire class of people. This is as disgusting and unacceptable as attacking an Indo-Canadian, a Vietnamese-Canadian or any number of racial/cultural groups simply because they're "strange", or "don't fit in".
Not only is this the height of crass and despicable behavior, it's equally as much bigotry as homophobic nonsense, sexism, or racism. Age is also a protected class under the Charter of Rights, need I remind you, because like sex, race, or arguably sexual orientation, you cannot choose your age. Being judged and slandered simply for having progressed through the course of a natural human lifespan is despicable, and you should be ashamed of yourselves. The individuals in question know who they are, they have caused respected, loved members of the community like Gizmo, Coal, and Tokar a great deal of consternation, and they must know, that this behavior is unacceptable.
I've said my piece. I'm annoyed with having to sit on both sides of the fence, watching individuals both ten years younger than me, and ten years older, unable to cohabit the same community without someone, somewhere, slinging an idiotic barb. In ten more years, I will be one of those "creepy old people" by the standards of the younglings here, and in ten more, the younglings will be at my seat on the fence, wondering why they didn't see it before they themselves end up in the path of that train themselves. Fix the attitude, it sucks!
Here here, Selkit. :(
I agree with you Selkit. This association of yours and your reference to our Charter of Rights hits the issue on the spot. I have talked and mingled in with older members of the community, and I have the respect and spiritual faith in them with respect to our community. They do not deserve this derogatory flak at all.
: Selkit May 14, 2013, 08:04:10 -06:00

Impressive statement you made here Selkit, I praise you for making this statement.
It is regretful that this is going on, yet I have a hard time to fathom that younger individuals would attack individuals twice their age or even more. We may have different viewpoints or have more experience in one area such as technology or knowing people's behavior, yet as we know this is no reason to disrespect one another.
Learn and understand a person before you make a certain assumption, even though I caught myself the other day doing so.
I'm having some major problems getting along with my parents right now, and from what I'm seeing, if I can't come up with a high-enough paying job to be able to move out, it's only going to get worse.
My parents only seem to be interested in being right, not actually solving the problems at hand, and are extremely vehement when confronted.
The usual defense I have is to stay in my room until "needed", or until I have a reason to go out, and avoid all kinds of hot buttons with them.
The problem comes in when they hit them themselves and won't allow for other points of view.
It's exactly like they only see me as a little kid, not the 28-year-old person attempting to be an adult that I am now.
It's very emotionally debilitating some days... =>.<=
28 and still live with your parents? Your parents are not the bad guys.
Get a life. Move out.
If you're mentally disabled in some way I appologize
You know what? Even with my usual levels of dickishness I'm not going to leave it there...
Parents have children so that they'll have someone to financially take care of them in old age if they need it. The average child costs almost $250,000 to raise to the age of 18 in Canada. What you've done is leech off them to an extent that you've cost them much, much more... How hard is it to get a minimum wage job? You've fucked up your parent's retirement fund enough already.
You represent something worse than a bad child... You're a bad investment.
Get your shit together. Get a job. Move the hell out.
Try being emotionally whipped by your own parents.
Try being a man instead of a child. You might like it.
Actually, the big problem is depression.
Everything sort of feeds into it, and it just sucks all my effort out of me.
=>.<=
At this point most of the things I would want to say about you would get me warned by the mods for personal attacks so I'll duck out.
Get a job.
Stop being a loser.
You don't have bigger problems in life than others, you just suck at handling them.
[admin]Ember, this is warning #2 for personal attacks.
Just a reminder, personal attacks aren't just "You're a ___!". No matter how roundabout you're stating them, that isn't the level of discourse we allow.
This isn't meant to restrict discussion, like questioning assumptions that furries take for granted, or pointing out that a specific course of action is not a good idea. I think you know the difference Ember.

Thanks for the link Jay, but unfortunately none of the depression-related services will deal with a person over 25, and most of them require a referral.
Any other suggestions, or am I missing something?

regarding comments about elders. there was a saying when i was a youth to 'respect your elders' yet some refuse to do so. i don't ask you to love me nor to be my friend, but at least have some respect to me and others as people. you have no idea what some of us have endured in order to make life easier for the generations that follow. for an example, look up the richmond street bath raids in the late 70's in toronto. for no other reason than we are gay did they make the raid. look at the pride parade as it is now. approx 35 years ago there was no such thing as a pride parade. and if you check it out, the parade was only about 5 blocks long lasting about an hour. now it starts on robson at thurlow and goes down to denman then around to sunset beach lasting 3 or 4 hours.
my complaint is more towards one person (and anyone else) in this community that has not yet had the decency to realize that they are wrong to suggest people 'run away', and so far hasn't been man enough to admit it and apologize. i wonder why, at 35 yrs old, he still calls himself a 'boy'?

Very good point. I don't usually conflate different forms of discrimination together but I have to make it an exception in terms of how you've linked it up.
The next time someone discriminates against another based on age, social, or economic standing just to name a few, they should remember that they too were once faced with discrimination, such as sexuality for instance, themselves. ;)

Work pestering me to come in literally EVERY DAY this week. Was scheduled to work Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Ended up working Tuesday and Saturday too. The only reason I didn't go in on Thursday was because I was helping a friend move house and was therefore unavailable. Today they wanted me to come into work AGAIN - I'm so exhausted I need a day off to recharge for my shift tomorrow.
It's made me think... what would they do if I had gone in on Thursday? Would they have called me in yesterday and again today? By BC law, working more than six consecutive days in a row means the seventh day has to pay overtime. I don't think I get overtime because of the probationary period (which ends this month), but yeah.

some companies will pay them but no stat holidays until either 30 or 90 days has expired, and if you are complaining about being called in so much, why not mention where you work. it might help someone get a job.

I'm getting called in so much because someone keeps calling in sick. As far as I know there are no vacancies at my employer... we've taken on several new employees. The trouble is with my employer - from 9pm to 10:30pm we have ONE cashier and ONE grocery clerk on duty (both on express checkstands). Both last night and the night before it was me as the cashier. Don't get me wrong I'm chuffed with the paycheck I'll be receiving next week, but seriously?
insomnia, I haven't slept yet and when I tried I just got myself all depressed thinking about things I cannot change.
Four weeks off work and it's horribly messed things up for my boss; Compounded by the fact that my boss is more of a likeable frontline leader than a boss, and I am the cause of her woes. having broken my damn elbow with terribly bad timing. D:
"Disgruntled" is an euphemistic term to describe what I am feeling in terms of the job hunting process. I don't mind if employers reject me, so long as they provide at least some form of explanation that isn't a platitude.

Today's complaint? Almost getting into FOUR separate traffic accidents while on my thirty minute break this evening - and then to put the cherry on the cake the McDonalds staff forgot to put my fries in the bag for my dinner. Had to go back at 10:45pm and get them :/
Grumbly otter. Still off work, and going stir crazy. Impromptu dinnermeet in Surrey, anyone?
Waking up at four o'clock in the morning to hear cats fighting, again.
I'm so frustrated right now. I have the perfect image in my head for my fursuit head, my friend did a BEAUTIFUL redline for me from the pictures of the resin base but... i'm having the hardest time transferring it over v.v my dang brain isn't working @.@
Ditched car (literally) to avoid getting cut off by a semi.. yaaaaay :/
People pulling fire alarms when they shouldn't... Last night was not cool... standing out in the rain for almost an hour. My daughter had to wake me or I would have slept through it I was that tired.

our beer prices are higher than home because it is a matter of supply and demand. nobody can compare to the Irish, Scottish and English, so since we drink less it costs more.
and i thought it was just the imports of Germany n so on all being in the EU Union its dirt cheap :P
So i guess we'll have to Drink more..cant complain about that XD

My brain chemistry (fuck chronic, cyclic depression, seriously), my state of education (Guests at work, telling me "You're too smart to work here" does not account for two things; One, I'm too bloody stupid and lazy to actually get the diploma that lets me do better, two, I'm really not intelligent, I'm just logical and well-spoken for an HFA "sufferer"), my inability to actually buck up and change the things I need to change, my upcoming 30th birthday (still without plans there, and frankly, I'll be cynical here, maybe three to five people would actually bother), and life in general. I guess I could also add a lost marriage to the works, failing health, that I've seen the death of a good chunk of my remaining family in the past five years, the passing of five friends, failure of a personal project, been shammed on a professional level (quite badly; I invested hundreds of hours of work)...
And on top of that, my broken, imbalanced brain is sitting there, a little devil on my shoulder, whispering in my ear, "Why bother". Something will give, sooner than later, and no, before you ask, I'm not about to go do something foolish, I'm already seeking psychiatric help. I am not going to make it out of this otherwise, my brain's balance is terribly, horribly broken, I have no energy, and while I'm still sane and rational, the only sane and rational answer is prompt medical attention. Ramble over. And let me just add a childish "Fuck everything" on the end here... if anyone needs me, I'm going to crawl back into bed, and have a good, sodden cry before going to another unforgiving overnight shift providing budget hospitality services to the absolute rotten adulterers, whoremongers, addicts and derelict dregs of east Vancouver.

Furies and There Photography
So i spent tonight browsing photos of some more fur conventions and fursuit parades and there's one thing I've always noticed over the years that cracks me up. You often see all these furies with all this big expensive camera gear or Digi SLR's and all this metal frame crap like there disabled and incapable of holding a camera properly. But what makes me laugh more. is all this Photo shite and money spent of it must be to try look cool. Because it's rare you find a photo taken that dose'nt look like its come from a typical cheap camera and rare you find creative photography from the gear they have. If yer gona spend the doh on the gear. Learn to use it

I can feel that same rat of weakness gnawing at me again. I broke down hard earlier today, and at least this time I made it home before doing so. I'm not sure how much more I can cope with. Those same ugly realizations came pouring on back. I've lost a marriage through failed effort and distance. There's increasingly fewer of my already small family. The last time I had a consistent sleep and work cycle that didn't cross between dayside/nightside once a week was two years ago. There's a point where you just can't shoulder it anymore. I'm at that point, or past it, and starting to wonder, what now?
It's just debilitating in terms of my parents' reaction to me stating that I would like to attend the pride parade, and their reasons for rejecting me in terms of being part of a community of "improper" (that was exactly the term my parents used) people.
With them stating that and asking me the trap-laced question of "Are you one of them?", I have to shut myself into the closet and say that I'm straight but an ally when I personally believe myself to be bisexual.

On Wednesday night, I went over to a Save-On pharmacy to get my tetanus booster because I sometimes work with old, possibly rusty sewing machines.
It didn't hurt much when I got the injection, but my arm did hurt for a couple of days afterwards where the needle went in, and I haven't been able to lean on that part of the arm even yet.
Some kinds of motion still hurt a bit too.
Fortunately, it's only a minor complaint, and haven't needed to take any painkillers after two or three days.
I should probably try some heat on it to see if that helps relax it...
Oh yeah, and they charged me sixty bucks to do it too.
(apparently, because I don't have kids I don't qualify for the free one, for some strange reason)

normal side effect that i remember about tetanus shots. hurts for a few days but no big deal.

: tokar September 02, 2013, 06:44:04 -06:00normal side effect that i remember about tetanus shots. hurts for a few days but no big deal.
I can feel it still slightly impeding my range of motion, but not enough to have any negative effects on my work, fortunately.
As I said, a minor complaint.
I'm pretty sure one of my wisdom teeth has decided that it is now finally time to surface. I can feel the tip of it crowning, and to put it mildly, it's a bit tender.
So far, after having worked 3 nights and 13 more to come, the cold weather has finally gotten to me and has laid me with sick Q.Q lol but I guess it doesn't really help that my outfit is a ghillie suit, those things are all string and no warmth ;3; though thankfully I have 3 full days to rest and get better before I have to go back to work for another 4 days ;D

(mini rant)
Paper Tigers, or shall I say "Paper (Species here)" I dunno what its been lately, maybe the planets have aligned with the ass crack of Miss Cleo or something but I have run into just a bizarrely high amount of people lately who are trying waaay to damn hard to try and "live up" to their species in the most plastic and just sleazy ways. Its becoming quickly one of my biggest furry pet peeves, if you are a cat, you can be a cat without acting like a spoiled brat bipolar princess, if you are a wolf you don't gotta be "pack leader" macho man number 12,655,387 to be a wolf. (and not sparing my species here) and if you are a dragon, playing up the king-shit thing while in reality hiding in a corner, limiting your social life while just bluntly going "I hate humans" doesn't make you more of a dragon.
Honestly this all sorta stemmed from some tools I ran into a while back who tried to pull the whole "you don't really seem like a _______" crap. Honestly I find that offensive and akin to saying "fuck personality, you gotta be a stereotype to be your species" Its even worse when you get it from people who share the same species. In my case total tools who honestly think that limiting your vocabulary to words like "oh" and "ah" as well as never been amused with anything as well as never doing anything that involves socializing outside their own little circle of friends gives off this air of being more dragon like when in reality it makes them seem more like a really well practiced emo with all the depth of a dried up puddle and the social skills of a corpse.

Thanks to Rainrat (http://www.bcfurries.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2) BCFurries is not down for site maintenance. Give him a thank you hug next time you see him :)
Only sleeping about three hours for the second time this month on a sunday night then going to work. Not fun, and I should get that checked out.
The willfully ignorant, and conspiracy theorists. There's the collective cognitive residue of humanity available at your fingertips, and you choose to what... believe in some woo theory because you well and fervently believe in the fact someone else told you it's the truth?

Ugh.. people who just don't get the fandom and go as far as to insult you when you act like your true self.
To explain the situation I posted a picture of myself with my cat ears and leopard tail (on MeetMe, just to kind of show off, you know?) and this dude goes as far as to calling me a freak, it's happened more than once or twice, same guy. (He also thinks that everyone likes to get freaky in animal costumes but I know most people who don't like them think the same thing anyway.) It's like.. what the heck dude? Don't you have anything better to do than to insult people for being different? He said how that's not something I should be proud of and how I need help, some stupid garbage like that... like, LOL. Dude, if anyone needs help it's you. Quit trying to act normal, because nobody ever is. XD So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. That, right there, is my complaint.

asshats likes that usually have some deep issue themselves and self hate; but its counter intuitive to hate oneself. So they lash out at those those they see as the most strange.

The painful truth of why I have only ever dated in the fandom.
But this is also why some furs I have known have made it a point to lay down the furry topic early on to see if their partner will really accept them for who they are.

Ugh... parents, siblings... blaming you for things. Giving you a backlash just because you wanted to confront a problem that has yet to be resolved. I don't know how I deal with this shit honestly. I wish I lived alone, oh how I wish I was mature enough to do so. I so would if I could. They only fuel my anger... >:(
Edit: I love them both, (my mom and sister, dad passed away long ago) sometimes I really feel like saying I hate them, but it is only the anger they cause me to feel that makes me feel like saying so. I just really hate them some days you know? As I said, blaming me for things I didn't do or saying I do things that I don't. Sometimes I really hate living under the same roof and usually when I talk to my mom about something (my sister usually overhears us) comes right in between a conversation me and my mom were having, NOT her, and just starts going off at me like she's some older sister or something when she's not. We were born on the same day, and year... it also bugs me how she tries to seem like she's older most often, and usually she does it to try and seem like the smarter one. She even goes as far as repeating something like "no you didn't" or "yes you did" to something I am telling the truth about and it just bugs the hell out of me. How can she seem so nice at times and then turn around and act like a total (excuse my language) fucking cunt. Excuse me bitch but I wasn't talking to you. Stay the hell out of conversations that are not your own. When you talk to mom you don't see me do the same goddamn thing. Fuck off. Hahahaha, just saying guys XD

Never say you hate them. You may not like them at the moment, but as you said, you do love them.
Oh boy! A complaining thread? Lets see...
When your friends invite you to an event and it turns out they signed you up for volunteer work without permission. Last time they said "Hey! want to go to the PNE for free?" And just today I had recycling/garbage duty again at Taiwan Fest without knowing ahead of time lol. It was still fun regardless because I was stationed right beside a karaoke station they set up on the street and on my break, I'd gather all of my friends and sing in front of the public lol. The Pokemon theme song seemed to have the best reception out of the crowd with the four of our horrible voices. :)
Oh and to top off my complaining, they recorded us, fml lol.

I suppose you're right as I said before it's just the anger within me that makes it hard to say so sometimes. Just some of the things my sister says to me makes it difficult, can't believe my mom even lets her speak that way towards me without doing anything. She told us to take it outside, my mom did haha. Oh... not a good idea for that may I add. I do not think my sister is worth the fighting energy anyway. We're like Tom and Jerry basically >.>

I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves before love rescued me.
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
Now I stand accused of the things I've said.
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame.
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town.
Used to make love under a red sunset
I was making promises I was soon to forget.
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
But I left her standing before love came to town.
I ran into a juke-joint when I heard a guitar scream
The notes were turning blue, I was dazed and in a dream.
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town.
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame.
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town.
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame.
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town.
I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword.
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide.
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame.
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT3rXNPGFOM

Alrighty, I may be super damn late to this thread.
Also, this is probably gonna be an unpopular opinion here.
BUT I'MMA COMPLAIN ANYWAY, FOR MUH LORD 'N SAVIOR OP
I think that the cartoony fursuits are terrible :u and I don't understand why people pay upwards of 2000 dollars when I wouldn't wear one for free :u
I don't complain about much, but there is a common, yearly trend I find. I find myself complaining a lot about the heat and how unbearable it is and how I can't ever sleep due to being too hot.
I have a complaint, of sorts. Why is it that people feel the need to try to abduct other peoples four legged companions? I recently caught one my my neighbours attempting to make off with my cat E. Nigma! I admonished her for it and issued a very clear warning that if I (or any of my room-mates) catch her doing this again we will call the R.C.M.P. on her.

Got a notice we were to have an apartment inspection on the 17th (notice was given to us on the 15th in the evening). We cleaned our apartment up nice (though not our bedrooms) but they didn't show up... but the next day left another note (late at night again) saying they had to reschedule for the 21st. Ah well that gave me time to get my room clean. Spent ages on it, but when I was done I was proud of it.
Dude shows up looks around for less than 5 minutes. Declares that our apartment REALLY has to be tidied up (hell this place is nice and clean now, just has a regular amount of 'lived in' clutter), we need to have out carpets professionally cleaned for maintenance (I thought we just had to do that when we moved out) and blamed my cat for faded marks on the carpets that were there when I moved in... then looked in the kitchen that I had cleaned last night and the dish drainer with clean dishes in it (finished washing up at midnight then went to bed and didn't have a chance to put them away yet) and called the kitchen "nasty."
... Then he scheduled another inspection for the 28th to make sure we clean up. ... Like are we expected to maintain an apartment that looks like a place that's been staged for sale? Are we not allowed to have stuff on our bookshelves and counters? They don't do this to every tenant, so why us? This isn't fair... plus I don't have money to spend on carpet cleaning, pro or otherwise! I mean, we can put away all of our personal items by the 28th, but the carpets won't get done.
I think they are being way too strict.

When they insist you bring a portfolio of work, but your laptop is too big for your fancy bag that you can't afford, so you go buy an iPad, telling yourself it's an investment for when you'll do more mobile and app design, but when you bring it, they're all up to speed on your work, and hardly even touch what is a barely day old iPad. You also fear your imminent rent-cheque-bounce as a result, and cringe at what's worse; that you bought the iPad and get the job- rendering it's purpose fulfilled and forwardly useless, or that it didn't work as it was intended, and now you're in a puddle of your own ungulence wondering how you got it wrong.
Everyday in Vancouver someone is either killed or raped.
People litter everyday, even if they're on their way home and can just hold it in their hand or put it in their pocket.
Any medical procedure or medicinal drug, that's far superior then what most people look into. Is being pushed aside and not reported on, because it has no Market value. Why? Because it's usually derived from a plant. And you can't patent plants, so companies can't ensure they're product when they make, say a cancer killing drug, from a plant that actually grows locally in our environment.
Instead it's more profitable for logging companies to clear cut the area and killing all these life saving plants.
Children are chronically being brought into sex slavery.
Many advances in technology, from independent Inventors, that would overthrow our current economics. Have been shut down, and at times the Inventors have actually gone missing after publishing their discovery.

Well, what can I say... Life is *waits to be run over, thrown onto the ground by a giant male gray wolf while being tickles to pieces*
My complaint is potholes... I was coming around a corner this morning leaving the shop I work at and the car I was driving hit a pothole. The road was wet and hitting the pothole in the middle of a corner caused the car to spin out and slam the driver front door into a tree. Airbags deployed and the impact tweaked the frame of my car. Car is totalled but I was able to drive it home. On the good side, I am relatively ok other than a sore back and a sore neck. Also lucky to hit what I did as had I slid 15-20 more feet I would have hit the back of a tractor trailers trailer. Just hoping I didn't suffer whiplash as the effects take place about 2 days after injury (had it before and it is horrible). So all things said, I really really hate potholes....

simple way to find out if the instructor has been fired -- call the main switchboard and when answered ask for the teacher.. if they say one moment, and he answers then not fired, but if you are told they do not work here any more then the rumour is true.

Sexist jobs that don't think I could be a sultry Bar server. I am definitely bar wench material. My only hope for a job now is if someone gets fired. So I took a bunch of complaint forms home and the people with nametags will rue the day!

I felt it. Thought it was just unusually big hailstones and it freaked me out, then I checked Facebook to see if anyone else did. It sounded like every wall of the house was shifting VERY LOUDLY.

David Bowie, 1947-2016
I miss David Bowie. :( When I had tough days and insomnia I would listen to his songs to help me sleep. His voice calmed me down lots.
This year has only begun, yet it is seemingly without end to tragedy. As death takes those around us who have brought joy and illumination into our lives, a dagger has now been cast into the heart of the furry community.
We have lost the voice of Robin Hood.
