Random Rants XLII: The Four-Part Plan

I don't want to know how you got exposed to CO.

My mother's car malfunctioned.

My mother's car malfunctioned.

That sounds like it was..... interesting. Did it happen while you were driving on the road?

 

[shadowplay]

How did you confirm the presence of carbon monoxide?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Well the exhaust system broke some time ago and my mothers too cheap to get it properly fixed. She didnt tell me until after. And then I realized I felt like crap when I was fine just minutes ago. So I said We'd better go to the hospital, and she was feeling too crappy to fight with me.

I was actually pretty much fine as soon as I got out of the car. But they checked anyways. I got a headache later.

I wish businesses and apartment owners had the decency to respond to applications even if you're rejected. Getting a solid "no thanks" is preferred over "did they even get my message?".

 

[ace99]

Apply? For an apartment? Where do you live Soviet Russia?

Email the landlord and say hey I'm a (insert what you are) you got anything open for (insert date)? If they don't get back to you in a week it means nah.

My office mate brought his baby into office today. She was entertaining for all of 5 minutes, now she's crying every half-hour or so.

Fun fact: babies don't have accents. They just sound like babies.

 

[ace99]

I never get that. You don't bring your dog to the office, why would you bring a baby? At least a dog is house trained. srsly find some daycare.

 

[Takhisis]

I passed an exam today which means… wait for it… I will have to sit for another exam (on top of all those already scheduled).

 

[Kennigit]

I wish I would get back my exam result. He's kind of graded them in chunks, and he said he still has 1 exam to grade (graded like ~60/80 exams and returned them, and then has been grading the others overtime).

I hope that's my exam, because otherwise its lost or something and that would be a gigantic clusterf***. But still, it's probably my exam. Just I get it back like 2.5 weeks later than other people.

I don't know, but every time this guy goes to the bathroom, the kid starts screaming. Apparently, she's about 1 year old.

He needs to stop drinking coffee, or this day won't get any better until 5 PM. Better go hide in lab.

Rant: I can't get any custom music to work in SimCopter. I'd love to add more classical music to it, and I've followed all the instructions exactly, but the new .wav files just aren't working.

 

[Takhisis]

Turn off the volume, use a media player (VLC, Winamp, whatever) for your music. Could you play something from this century or the last at least?

 

[ace99]

Just had a phone interview with 10 people conferenced in. The hell. A man can only take so much. Made me nervous, I def flubbed the "whats your weakness" question and made it sound much worse than it actually is. I really need to find a better answer.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

Imagine that. It is not until after I whine about discrimination that certain posts on the preceding pages disappear, when it was originally only my post from last night (and the responses to it that I never got to see and didn't know had even existed until after I whined and got the pm from hobbs ) that had disappeared, whose disappearance triggered the aforementioned whine.

But that's not as fun as going through all the trouble of converting mp3's to wav's of a specific format.

I spent hours lining up an proper aerobraking trajectory. Then I lined up to burn steadily in retro. It all comes down to the last ten meters between me and glory. Then, ATTACK OF THE STICKY KEYS.

Also, every reload I've done has frozen at critical junctures.

You can still play the .wavs in Winamp/VLC/whatever.

I've found that food has been almost optional for me lately. I rarely get hungry, and when I do, it goes away quickly. I like being hungry at times; it gives me an excuse and the desire to eat.

Oh God no. I've lost my rings. I feel odd without them. A golden ring that I got for my communion and one of your ordinary silver-gray metal with the zodiac signs. I've had them for many years and there has been no single day since last Christmas (I thought I had lost them, and last Christmas I found them) that I have not worn both in my right hand little finger. And not I feel said finger... different.
