Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
I really do not give a flying fuck--which, given my cancellation of my ACME account, proves more difficult than usual--if you, in the process of FAILing to render a service such as power my home, provide me with access to that both highly artistic and possibly highly illegal French Sedimentary Rock Porn, not submit an order entirely unlike what I ordered--such as delivering 100 single DVD cases as opposed to 10 double DVD cases--then demonstrate a failure to grasp the subtle difference between "100," "10," "single," and "double"--all after sending me to 1) the Philippines, 2) India, 3) Arizona----that you "understand I am upset."

Sum and substance of a "creative brief" uttered by our VP at a meeting to discuss an upcoming project:
"Make it pretty and make it cheap."
Kind of like a $20 whore then, right?

Fuck you comcast why does your service suck so badly? I just want to finish updating my website and you've been a bit shit for two weeks now. I wish I had a non-DSL/dialup alternative.
Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
I am done protecting fuckwits from the consequences of their behavior.
That is all.

I know I am not the only student who works at this university. I also know I am not the only employee to takes classes at this university. And I for damn sure know I am not the only member of this university who is married to another member of this university.
So! Parking services and card services and every other type of non-service-giving service department in this university... How about instead of trying to decide whether to treat me like a student or a staff member or a dependent, why don't you try treating me like a fucking human being and help me out just a leetle bit? Okay? Thanks.
UPDATE: The vision statement has been declared "not visionary enough," by executive management.
Back to the scrivening board. Foolscap is on order.

Lawn mower???!!! More like a lawn flattener!! It looks like there are stupid little mohawk haircuts all over the yard. I'd have better luck with fucking scissors.
Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
I told you not to use my push mower!
I just realized that in order to work this summer, I'd have to hire a special need ready babysitter to the tune of $15 an hour. Fuck that, I only earn $16.50 an hour, plus I also realized I haven't gotten a cost of living raise since before 2004.
They can value my ass elsewhere, this contract no-benefit having labor is staying the fuck home this summer, with my kid.

Dear sweetie, if you don't want me to disturb your skype call by bizarrely slinking around the edge of the room, then you should tell me beforehand that you aren't using video. Because I'm not taking the chance that the first impression someone has of me is in my ha-ha-I'm-waiting-to-buy-maternity-pj's-until-I-split-the-seams-in-these stage.
Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
NO, replacing the equivalent of this
with this
is NOT "more appropriate", even if you did find it on the Internet.

Since I'm leaving this job in a month, I am now tasked with showing the secretary how to manage the website. Not training, not teaching, just showing her what I do. How involved can it possibly be, right? They watch me do my job all day. All I do is click the mouse around a little bit and type on the keyboard. Any secretary should be able to pick that up in an afternoon. After all, she knows how to use Dreamweaver!
