Random Rants LVII: wow. many anger. very whining.

Trains between Utrecht and Amsterdam have been completely shut down due to technical issues at Utrecht (where, as it turns out, I am needed), so I am unable to go to my work!

Fortunately, I am mature enough to not blame it on the privatisation of the railways, since that, well, never happened here!

ah, the NS. Where a leaf falls outside Dokkum and Tilburg is paralyzed.

Dokkum isn't even serviced by any rail services since the dissolution of the Dokkumer Lokaaltje.

Rant: people raving about handegg.

I think the unserviced railroads still count

I think the unserviced railroads still count

In that case, the train to Dokkum has been in delay for more than 30 years. Still stranded in my home btw.

Condolences.

 

[GenMarshall]

Condolences.

Thanks.

I feel like an utter complete failure ATM.

 

[Snerk]

I'd employ you in a heartbeat CivG!

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Thanks.

That's natural but try not to take it personal.

On the bright side, in general, the economy is improving so you have a decent shot of moving on from this and finding a new job.

 

[Tahuti]

It was the communists. Duh. They wanna paint the moon pink with Lenin's face. The trains are the first step.

In other news, sloppy work by construction contracters from Bulgaria have been blamed for the infrastructure breakdown that has led to today's disaster.

Was Googling "aural prosthetics". That first suggestion while I was typing...I don't even want to know.

Welcome to the internets...

 

[Kennigit]

I feel like death

A lot probably has to do with 4 hours of sleep comboed with other junk

 

[GenMarshall]

I've become much more cynical and pessimistic....

I need to fight this depression....

 

[cybrxkhan]

I've been laid off......

Hope you find a new job soon!

Well, this week has been stressful. Couple of my friends are dealing with really bad depression and I've been trying to help them, one of whom was borderline suicidal a few days ago. Meanwhile I've been in my own personal hell after I had my wisdom teeth out Thursday, and my dad and step-mom have been just so loving and caring, getting annoyed at me for ridiculous things and calling me lazy. And the snow is pissing me off to no end. Just gotta keep smiling, I guess.

 

[Borachio]

Yeah. Dealing with someone else's depression is depressing.

There was some self-help guy I read not long ago who recommended dumping all one's depressed friends for the sake of one's own happiness.

I wouldn't say it's a good idea. But I think he had a point.

There's this 88 year old guy I visit every 2 or 3 days who suffers with chronic depression. He really ought to be on anti-depressants. (But it might just make him even more depressed.) I try and cheer him up, but it's hard not to take his lack of response personally. I mean, what am I doing wrong that he's so miserable? He doesn't seem to be any better if I leave him alone. And then he rings me up, even if I do.

It would make me happier, but I'd feel guilty for leaving them. So yeah.
