Random Rants XLVIII: Worst. Thread Title. Ever!

I volunteered at Habitat for Humanity today. There was not much parking around the house we were painting. I drove around the subdivision multiple times and did not found all of the marked parking spaces were full. The houses were so close together that the space between driveways was shorter than my car. Almost all of the rest of the road was labelled as a fire land. I finally found one spot on the side of the road which did not have lines marking at as an official parking place but also did not have anything indicating that parking was forbidden.

When we finished late in the afternoon, I could not find my car. I walked through the entire subdivision multiple times to be sure, and then got the last person to leave from Habitat to drive me around to look again. He tried looking for the security guard to ask him about it, but could not find that either.

I had to call home to get my dad to pick me up. While on the phone, I read to him the number from from one of the "no parking" signs (which was nowhere near where I had parked). When he called, he learned that they had our car. It cost $135 for up to get it back, and required driving downtown during rush hour traffic.

The GPS was acting rather odd on the way home. The way it sent me was much more complicated than necessary. It also kept telling me to say in the left lane, even though the signs said that the left lanes were closed. Traffic was terrible much of the way home. When I was barely halfway back, the GPS's battery died. The rest of the trip was actually pretty easy though.



On the way to Habitat for Humanity this morning I bought myself breakfast at Chick-fil-A, which turned out to be a waste of money since they provided a Chick-fil-A breakfast platter for free.


I met a very attractive girl there, and got the impression that she found me attractive too, but then discovered that she is much too young. She looked at least 20 (others commented on this too), but is in fact barely 16. (I'm 25.) She won't even be a Freshman in High School until this fall, probably because of credits not transferring very well from Thailand. (She was born here and speaks English with no accent, but only very recently returned after spending the last 8 years in her parents' home country.)


My job search still is not going well.
 
I saw my crush today. And his boyfriend. I wish I could tell him... :(

Please accept a virtual hug from me, as I have been there. The Vanessa Willians song "The Best for Last" comes to mind.

On a lighter note, got the sound back from CCTV!

You know, people should sit on fridges more often. It gives a whole new perspective on the room. ;)
 
When I get a place of my own, I will put a fridge by the bookshelf, looking at the window, just to climb it every now and then.
 
I need to spell it that way for those who think handegg is football. Which is a rant in itself.

Football is a general term for any pedestrian sport using a ball, as distinguished from sports like Polo where the player compete from horseback.

Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, and Tennis are technically types of football too.


The most common games called football be should be called Association Football and Gridiron Football.
 
Dear SUV drivers: those puny stick-like figures you see through the windshield walking through the parking lot are called "people". I do not have a sense of humour about almost being run over because you just blindly starting backing up without looking. No, a smile and a wave at me after the fact does not excuse you.
 
God, where are my tweezers? I have some growing hairs which are extremely annoying and I cannot remove! :mad:

Calling those games football makes even less sense than calling American football football. At least in that, feet are occasionally used to intentionally kick a egg ball.
 
But it's a game with a ball, played on foot. Ergo, it's football. Whether the foot makes contact with the ball is fairly irrelevant.

Rugby announcers call it football occasionally, but that doesn't involve a great deal more kicking than American football, and I don't see any of y'all Euro-folks complaining about that.
 
I've been working on and playtesting a Test of Time mod for the past eleven hours almost non-stop (w/ obligatory breaks for food and othe bodily needs) and THE GOD DAMN THING IS NOT WORKING LIKE IT'S BLEEPING SUPPOSED TO AND I'M BLEEPING PISSED THE BLEEP OFF!!!

AND IT DOESN'T BLEEPING HELP THAT I ASKED FOR HELP ON THIS ISSUE MONTHS AGO AND STILL NO ANSWER AND NOW I HAVE TO BLEEPING CUSS AND ALL-CAPS LIKE A FRIGGIN DRAMA QUEEN!

I have a master student to supervise for a university course.
The course is nearly over. Received today the second draft of the final report.
The introduction looked a bit suspicious, way too smooth.
...google says it's from wikipedia.
He didn't even deny it. I was rather suprised that he didn't understand why this is even a problem. And I don't think he got it after my explanation (minor note: He's not from this continent).
Utter hell o_O.
 
The Last of Us is PS3-only. Enough to annoy me but not enough to make me get a PS3.
