Random Rants XIX: Failure Tactics

[Dachs]

Daniel Goldhagen can go eat a dick

 

[Flying Pig]

The airplane on a treadmill problem should get an official version placed on exams in every general physics course of a sufficient level.

Care to enlighten the non-physicists here?

Rant: Telephone helplines. When you ring in to ask about a problem they have with a mobile phone/computer/whatever, for christ's sake don't do the whole 'your company policy is really bad I've rung in seven times today and it's all your fault '. The guy on the end of the phone has probably never heard from you before and has no say whatsoever in deciding how the company works - so just lay of them, OK?

Related rant: the army online careers office. After a few comments from my 'beloved' cadets that talking to the online recruiters was like talking to a brick wall, I went to investigate. I asked one of them (a staff sergeant with a BEM, no less) something about the responsiblities of an officer at different ranks and was pointed at the job description page - which didn't say anything! Eventually I pointed out to the guy - if someone's asking a question, make sure that what you give them actually answers it! I then went against my original rant by bringing home the grieviances of my contingent, so I would like to say sorry now to SSgt Andy McClean BEM.

I'm an idiot, as I only first now realized that -✩- was only the renamed account of Abaddon. -.- I'm glad he's still here though.

It didn't used to be.

Wasted ~2:30 hr napping

I know, which confuses me even more.

 

[Gabryel Karolin]

My professor doesn't answer his goddamn email, nor any of his phones and I'm almost 100% sure hes been sitting in his office all day, arghh(!)

 

[Annex]

He would come to my house, stay up all night playing Nazi Zombies, and I dreamt about him in high school.

A bromance that could have been

 

[Sashie VII]

Woke up at 9.36am today. I should be coming in to work by 9.30am, at the latest.

Do you keep some form of budget?

I do. I did. But too many things required cash this month. Like my car lock-in deposit payment and my two return flights in January.

 

[Angst]

I just tried out the swine flu. Good thing god doesn't want me dead for some reason, I really felt close.

I'm still quite ill.

 

[Karalysia]

Save me!!!

There is nothing that can adequately express my revulsion. The most sickening thing one can imagine. :suicide:

I must wash my eyes. Oh wash them well.

Napping is never a waste.

 

[Camikaze]

What's weird is an itch that feels like something crawling on you, like a spider, and then dismissing it as just an itch, before realising that, actually, it is a spider.

 

[Gilder]

I hate the snow.

 

[Synobun]

I hate the snow.

Agreed.

I loath shoveling.

 

[azzaman333]

I have so much free time right now that I don't know what to do with it.

 

[Gilder]

Agreed.

I loath shoveling.

It's not shoveling today. There's not enough to shovel to be a pain. But there's just enough to muck up the roads to the point where its dangerous to try to drive to school. And my car sucks in the snow.

Heck, I pull out of my street, and I skid/slide 180 degrees. I try getting back up my street, and my car can't barely make it. It's a miracle I managed to get home without sliding into anything.

 

[Tee Kay]

I have so much free time right now that I don't know what to do with it.

Don't do what I do - arguing with the voices in my head.

If my brain is a person and I don't need it I'd probably strangle it by now.

 

[Yared]

God this crap sucks... Why does it have to be like this?

 

[Virote_Considon]

Don't do what I do - arguing with the voices in my head.

Or what I do and start fights with myself...
