Random Rants IX: I'm Mad As Hell, And I'm Not Gonna Take It Anymore!

[JustinianVII]

Wow. A 60 minute college football game was decided inside of the first 5 minutes. That was painful to watch.

And my homework fun--an 8-10 page paper for Tuesday over a very frustrating class project in which I really have no idea how I'm going to write it.

 

[choxorn]

Damn it, the bass pedal for my Rock Band drums is broken. What is with Rock Band drum sets and being broken?

 

[LightFang]

I'm going to finish my 4,000 word paper all tomorrow.



Good thing I "just" have to revise it.

But still.

 

[Tee Kay]

I swear long weekends are much shorter than they used to be. (I have tomorrow and Tuesday off due to Melbourne Cup).

My jerkoff boss told us that we don't get OT for the nine hours we worked today. It's DST and the clocks are rolled back an hour, so us night shift stiffs work nine instead of eight. He's all like "well in March when the clocks will go forward I'll pay you for eight even though you'll only work seven so it will work out." Yeah, too bad it's still illegal. He has no way of knowing that I'll even be working that day, and even if he did it's illegal to make promises like that on work that hasn't yet been performed. So I emailed some guy in the HR department and I'll see what he has to say about this.

 

[Love]

Wow your boss is screwed. That could get pretty serious for him.

To my friends, I have a message for you: locking me in the crawlspace is NOT FUNNY!!!!

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

To my friends, locking me in the crawlspace is NOT FUNNY!!!!

In the end, EVERYTHING, is funny!

Managing to finally get European stats on my NES, only for CFC to crash, wiping out half my work, and then promptly rewriting it.

And the fact I still have 4/5 of Asia left.

I just finished the damn seminar...bastard took me 8 hours to write. Probably 12 or more if I didnt have a scanner at home for all the technical picture. Praise be to the Machine God for such a wonderful invention.

My dad used to work nights and they always pulled that . .. .. .. . on him.

My Xbox 360 keeps crashing. A lot... I'm getting a bit worried now...

 

[salty mud]

[Taras Bulba]

stupid headache/migraine/whatever it is is bothering the crap out of me... ugh... it hurts soo bad

 

[carmen510]

I just realized in addition to my freakin' lab report, math, and global studies homework, there is my art homework I just found.

salty mud: I sympathize, even though I can't relate because I've only used my Xbox 360 like 8 times.

[14:37] <LightFang> i told him he hasto go get thecomputer fixed
[14:37] <LightFang> and he's like: do it yourself
[14:38] <LightFang> and i can't, since i don't have a car and he won't let me drive any of the family's 3 cars for its 3 licensed and insured drivers

Also I don't have a recovery CD since the computer didn't come with one and I never got around to making one.

I think he's testing how much of an Asian you are by seeing if you can fix the computer by yourself.

 

[Red Door]

I'm really, really inefficient when I have little work to do.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

All this time, I thought I was allergic to the city of Rochester. No, turns out I am allergic to the entire state of New York. My enjoyment of my friend's reception in the Catskills was greatly diminished by my need to blow my nose every few minutes.

 

[choxorn]

And now it's got the GOD DANMED RRoD!!! ARGH!!!!

I relate, my Xbox got this too like a year ago. Of course, then I got a 360.
