    That's the best thing to do, don't let people mistreat you. There's always going to be jerks, but they aren't worth even the effort of getting upset.

    Rage is out. Now I just gotta make the hate last enough to keep myself from being enraged by people's idiocy and cruelty for the rest of my life.

    I get so angry about these pricks and then I end up as a "victim" or whatever, and I'm tired of that too. Not a victim, I'm a conquistador.

    /end angry rage tantrum

    I think I'm going to go read my book now. Yes... learning about the political situation in China over the past century is sooo going to help my mood. :rolleyes: Better than steaming though.

    Do not make copies of this disk? ;) I love how it translates into the bastard phrase...

    Not gonna, anyway. Be it true or not, this is what I'm telling myself: I am too good for their bull.

    OVER IT.

    edit: sorry about the massive mouth I have. :( I'm trying to cut back on the swearing, but all bets are off when I'm angry and / or in the car.

    I wish I had some epic suggestion for how to make things better, but honestly, situations like the one it sounds like you're in are the reason I don't have friends.

    Don't let the a**holes get you down, girl-you're too good for them. I hope things get better for you.

    I feel really angry, for absolutely no reason.

    And I mean "not safe around people" angry.

    :(

    I switched loads of laundry a couple hours ago. Was sitting here and realized "hey, the dryer is off...my next load is probably ready to be folded."

    Nope...never turned it on after the last load.

    Gah.

    I despise laundry, because it's so much to do. Sort, put in washer, put in dryer, put another load in washer, take load out of dryer, fold, put away, repeat. Argh! :mad:

    ^ Thats why becoming rich is so important to me.

    I'm far too lazy to do these everyday things LOL
    I need to be able to pay someone to do it for me.

    I don't know why, but I've always loved doing laundry.

    I don't love it when it takes twice as long as it should due to my stupidity, though.

    Ugh. Hunny is upset. I reworked his resume and and trying to get him to apply for this job because my friend David and pretty guarantee that his resume will at least be considered. Steve said he is feeling pressured and is very uncomfortable with being pushed to apply for this job because he doesn't feel he is qualified or knows enough about it. I understand that, but dang-it, you have haven't had full-time work in 2 years...someone is basically handing you an interview....just GO WITH IT!!!

    Well tell him, what's the worst that can happen? He won't get the job. If that happens, he hasn't lost anything. And if he gets it, then he has a job. He really has nothing to lose, and nothing to get too stressed about.

    Could he be afraid of getting a job? It's a big change from where he has been for the last two years, and places him under deep scrutiny as "the new guy."

    I want to BEAT my coach today. UGH. She moved all of our practices from 3-5 to 5-7. so instead of going to school, then walking into the gym and having practice, I have to ride my bus home, get home at four, do nothing for 40 minutes, then find someone to drive me BACK up to town.

    It's ridiculous. :mad: I have enough trouble getting home from practice, and more things to do at night.

    :mad: People frustrate me.

    I have to agree with Cog. Speaking as someone with depression, the idea of being pushed into a job I'm not sure I could do and the scrutiny of being the new guy would be effing terrifying. Well either that or thinking, "great, something else I'll end up screwing up."

    Unless you are violently ill, struggle through. What if you get sick during the actual exam?

    (BTW feel better.)

    I'm annoyed because there's a girl here at work who is utterly incompetant. Trying to comprehend her notes is like trying to comprehend an E. E. Cummings poem. It's possible, but you're going to have to read it a few times.

    Earlier today she was helping a customer who couldn't connect. The problem was that his DSL modem wasn't powering up due to a lightning strike. She then proceeded to try and find out what IP he was pulling.

    WTF?!?! :mad:

    For those of you who aren't knowledgable about this sort of stuff, it's basically the same thing as this:
    Your car won't start. You take a look and find out that the starter is fried. Now fully aware that it's the starter that's broken, you try and find out what type of gasoline is in it.

    I can sympathise with that, but unlike you, he is a married man, whose wife has been bearing full financial responsibility for what I gather is quite a while. He has responsibilities, regardless of depression.

    LOL. I hate to be cruel Lavarian but that sounds hilarious from the outside looking in. She sounds completely unbarable, and those notes make absolutely no sense....

    Poor you! (Maybe she'll get sacked soon? ;) )
