Things to complain about

[Selkit]

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 is far too accurate.

[Selkit]

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.

@ 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.

[Selkit]

@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.

[H u nn Y]

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!!!!!!!

[Tef]

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.
