Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
Listen Ms. Principal, running a little school in a little town might be the culmination of your Grand High Bureaucrat dreams and all, but you suck at it. Some of us need more than 5 days to prepare ourselves and our kids for the first day of Kindergarten...the least you could do is put out pertinent information like what time school starts in the fucking morning and what the bus schedule is a few weeks ahead of time. Also, why do I have to go to a second registration to get this info? I asked for it in an email and you sent me a reply without answering my questions for what reason exactly?

All my least favorite crazy patrons, literally crazy, not euphemistically, were here before the library opened its doors this morning. It's bad enough I have to be here early in the morning after closing the place last night, I do not need fucking crazy people bothering me on top of it.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
More than a little tired of having to deal with unreasonable expectations and trying to point out the problems and getting condescending remarks for my trouble. Tired of co-workers who arrive late, spend half the day talking, play stupid office politics games, and then leave early. Tired of routinely working late trying to get caught up because someone else failed.
Mind you, I am grateful to have a job. It's just insane, that's all.

I don't think this is a rant, precisely. More of a vent, I guess?
Two cats got out some time last night. It looks like they pushed against the bottom of a window screen and bent it far enough out to slip through. One was under the back deck this morning. I can't find the other one. I'm swinging wildly between "Well, she's a cat. Duh, she's hiding and she'll probably come out tonight." and "OMFG WHAT IF SHE'S HURT? OMFG WHAT IF I NEVER SEE HER AGAIN?" I am freaking the fuck out here.

Kitty is safe! After spending most of the morning outside on my hands and knees with a flashlight, I gave up, came inside, posted my woes to the internet and, less than fifteen minutes later, she showed up on the back deck.
