Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
Jesus effing Christ. I mean it - Jesus - Jesus freaks - gooey-eyed Jesusers coming at me when I'm trying to give leaflets out for a meeting. Oh, and Spartacists and Democrats. All saying "we're basically on the same side" when, no, we are not.
AND - but really this: "I heard they're doing this experiment called haarp, in Alaska and they inject chemicals into the ionosphere and they can MAKE EARTHQUAKES OF A CERTAIN KIND and *that* is the real problem in Haiti."
I hates Portland.

Chavez, among others, made that claim right after the quake.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
Stupid piece of crap On Demand! So I am watching Lawrence of Arabia and get ALL the way to Intermission and go out for a smoke. After I come back in and just as I hit "play" it flips to the standby commercial crap. So instead of resuming at intermission, it starts over again.
This movie is LONG for those that don't know. It took two years to fucking shoot the film and it might take me that long to get back to where I left off. I have no chapter select or anything other than the lowest possible FF. I've been farting around for the last fifteen minutes and Peter O'Toole is just now meeting Omar Sharif for the second time tonight. Fucking archaic cable. Why do I fucking bother?

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
spoiled by days of above freezing temps, it was a BITCH to have to suit up to walk the lovely girlz, molly and luna, in single digit temps this morning!!!
so ya have yer long-sleeved tshirt, yer knit sweater, yer lined windbreaker and the fleece throat gaitor pulled up to yer ears and over yer nose because it is frikkin frosty out there, right? (no silk longjohns cos you just KNOW it is going to at least get to freezing and then ya have to undress partway to get the damn things off, cos ya cant REALLY turn down the thermostat because the houseplants are right on the cusp of dying just to piss you off.....)
topping this northwoods fashion statement is the blaze orange knit cap that is actually a double layer because it does reverse to camo....l00k, i dont care how dumb ass i appear wearing it when i walk the dogz on the backroads by the lake.... i want EVERYONE driving to think they have seen me well before they NEED to see me....
so what is the point and where is the rant?
when you have your nose swaddled in fleece and your nose is frikkin frozen in spite of that swaddling, you fail to notice the stench of SKUNK until AFTER the dogz have decided they LOVE that eau de stink and make snow angels in the path evidently favored by above mentioned mammal of distinctive fragrance!
ok girlz, load up so my vehicle can stink like you, too (who would have guessed wet dog was a preferred smell?)
dogz smile
i have seen it

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
WTF we now have a true steam of water coming down in the front room (not a trickle, a stream) due to rain, along with flooded kitchen from cleaning the outside trap this morning and still didn't get the clog out of the line. Dingfod is doing his best to get the line opened back up, in the mean time he is working on cleaning up the flood from the first attempt. Holy fucking hell. Never damn ending and shit just keeps piling up. Dingfod, we will get through all of this and hopefully someday be able to laugh about it. Life got to damn well love it. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck.......

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
Who the fuck decided to give the Ralphie Wiggum of the neighborhood a freaking high powered slingshot? The kid is slower than slow, already a theiving-vandal-scam-artist, and teases the dogs and cats on the block like a little sociopath. Plus, he doesn't have the common sense to use a fucking ball in the street without endangering our windows, who the fuck would think that a slingshot is the proper gift for such a child.
I've already caught him aiming at my dog, through the fucking window of my house! Sylvie came to us abused by a ten-year-old boy, and we have worked hard to rehabilitate her with them. Most boys she is fine with now, but she fucking hates this kid. I can't say I blame her, but it has hurt her rehabilitaion. I'm going to have to talk to his grandad again. I fucking hate this shit.

There was a kid kind of like that in our neighborhood when the LM was little.
He became the youngest person in the state to ever be charged with murder after he beat a baby to death with a chain.

Yeah, sorry. It is kind of douchey to just inject something horrific like that without having some kind of moral or helpful hint or something. I don't have any of those, but I feel you, sistah.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
I'm am an adult. I am 32 years old. I am married for the second time. We own our own house, cars, even a boat. We pay all our own bills and insurance and taxes. I am a veteran. I have paid for my own food, gas, lodging, school, taxes, insurance, phone, cable, internet, clothes, computers, CDs, you name it for fifteen years. I currently reside three time zones and 2200 miles away from you.
I do not answer to you.
When grandma tattles to you that I don't return her emails, guess what? I don't give a fuck.
If I don't feel like traveling to my cousin's wedding, it's none of your concern.
And the absolute fucking last thing you need to worry about is what I eat or how much I fucking weigh.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
We have a new manager who transferred from a different store, and every time she has to tell someone that she would rather them do things differently, she freaken acts like we are the dumbest pieces of shit to ever walk our sorry asses across the planet.
Sorry if I have worked under a different manager for the last year and a half and have a LITTLE different way of doing things. It doesn't help that the other two assistant managers are from two other different stores and absolutely kiss her ass on the issue. They have already made my made-of-stone coworker break down in tears in front of me.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
I had another meeting today and my bosses are trying to impress upon me how important and urgent it is that we go live with the site by June 30. I'm still waiting for approval from the State office for the initial design, so I'm at an impasse, but I assure my bosses that as long as I get the green light by April, that will be enough time. No biggie.
That's not the rant part. The rant part comes from the reason for the urgency. The site must be live by June 30 because I might not have a job come July 1. I knew that was a possibility when they hired me. The grant has to be rejustified each school year. But now they are making noises like this is really going to be the last year due to budget and blah blah blah economy-cakes. This, of course, coming from the same people who suggest that working in academia is great because it's immune to the economy.
I don't care that much about this job. I enjoy the work and the environment and the experience, but it's not about the money. Once I'm back in school I will bring more cash home from the GI Bill than I make working here, which is not really saying much. It's just the nerve of some people, setting the deadline of my project to be the day before they are going to fire me. WTF?! Rude.
The worst part is I'm totally going to do it, too.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
So the project has failed to meet its deadline and is over-budget?
Surprise surprise! It was a ridiculous and arbitrarily imposed deadline and an unrealistic budget! I said as much at the meeting when the budget and deadline were agreed.
And when I say 'meeting' I mean 'lecture', and when I say 'agreed' I mean 'laughed at'.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
So, the project that was dumped in my lap in January, the one that supposedly only needed a few clarifications, two more easy business processes addressed and then some technical writing work to finish up IS A COMPLETE CLUSTER FUCK! I am having to re-write the use cases from line one. There is a flat metric ton of functionality that has not been addressed AT FUCKING ALL. The screen documentation is incomplete, incorrect and poorly written sometimes COMPLETELY FUCKING INCOMPREHENSIBLE. (Yes, I know that English is your second language. BITE ME!) I can't even complete the first fucking business process because I have so many questions for the developers.
ARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!
Hey, but the screen designs are really nice.
