The not happy thread

Sad! I hope you get feeling better soon!

 

Ugh, my car was carpet-bombed/pooped by geese earlier today. Arrgh!

*Starts a petition to have all geese wear adult diapers*

P.S. Hope this isn't a double post, mah interwebz is wiggin out.

 

I hate it when that happens. It's like they have a secret vendetta against mankind or something

 

Agreed. Geese are rats with wings.

So, when you think about it, geese are quite similar to the general female population.

I hate women. They're all so catty and cryptic and their moods change without reason. Everyone is obsessed with ladder-climbing, and image is everything. Girls dont know how to be nice. They'll either dish you backhanded compliments or just verbally slap you outright; I dont know which is worse sometimes.

A girl who I'm "friends" with asked me after class to help her find some building on the other side of campus; she was complaining that it was so far away (it is) and that she didnt know where she was going. I helped her locate it and helped her map out where she was headed and told her that any other day I'd be happy to go with her, but I'm really busy today and dont have time to explore campus. She asked why, and I said that I've got a test in four hours, plus I'm going to hit the gym in a few minutes so I can burn off my frustrations instead of eating them.

She said snottily, "Going to the gym once isnt going to make you unfat."
I blinked, confused, and replied, "I know... I try to go for 1-2 hours, four times a week. I'm going with someone today; if I were going alone, I'd help you find the place and go later, but I just cant today."
She just rolled her eyes and said, "Whatever. You know, you've always been a bitch."

What the f/ck? Am I socially retarded? Would the normal person percieve my behavior as bitchy? I feel like I encounter the worst of the worst females all the time. No wonder there's only one girl I hang out with on this entire campus.

 

Erm...


Nope, I can't even begin to justify that one Merc. Some people are just a waste of oxygen.

 

It's a survival mechanism I've observed among my Turkish female colleagues and students. It's hard to be different in this culture, and they are all competing with each other while at the same time building up their strength and support amongst allies in various factions... I just stay out of it, there are a few 'normal' people to talk to, thank God.

 

"Well, thanks for confirming that you're one as well."

I probably would have had a very strong urge to throw something in her face if I were you.

 

ha ha I laugh at your experience. But is it not true and without fail, that when your black car is all squeaky clean and shinning with a fresh coat of wax, you go back to it the next morning, and find a lovely splatter of poop? My father likes to call it a "fly-by shooting."

 

The BSB expects me to take part in an experimental exam. This isn't actually going to count, it's just a way of them working out if the exam works and if it needs tweaking. It's also mandatory. This is the same BSB that won't recognise I'm actually doing the BVC.

If they recognise I'm doing the BVC and let me put it on my CV, then I'll acquiesce to being a guinea pig for this aptitude thing. If they don't, then I'm kicking off. I do the same work as all other BVC students, so why shouldn't I get it and still be subject to the BSB's whims?

 

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking. Don't let her get to you, chicks like that don't deserve a second thought.

Lydia, this may be the greatest thing you've ever posted.

I'm a little upset that all I could think when I read the first sentence of this post was "the Backstreet Boys?"

I didn't really understand a lot of that, but I'm still sorry. :/ It sounds frustrating.

 

Yeesh, Merc. You were way too kind to that girl, but that goes to show what kind of a person you are. Really, I would have been so aghast when in that kind of situation, I would have done the same thing.

 

She may be a witless cow but you've got to hand it to her: 'unfat' is quite a happy turn of phrase.

 

I would have done the same thing too. I just don't know how to be mean back, even if I did try. It sucks. It's either you're so kind you can't help being pushed around or you're the bitch who has to stick up for yourself. Really, it seems like people like us just don't fit in this world of jerks. Sorry for my pessimism, everyone :| It was cold out today.

 

I'm upset too

BSB stands for Bar Standards Board, and this is a long-running dispute between students on my course and the BSB. They refuse to credit us with something we've done because we do it in a slightly different way, essentially meaning we have fewer qualifications than other people despite doing the same thing as them. As we're in a tiny minority (of the 1,500 or so bar students, only 12 others are doing it the same way as me, on the same course), the BSB essentially ignores us.

Unfortunately, they changed their tune slightly this year meaning we're the last to have it this way. Next year's students get a Masters degree and the BPTC (the new name for the BVC). We get just a Bachelors degree. We're seriously pissed off about this.

 

WOW, dude, that's some bullsh*t! I would be pissed, too!

I'm so much more upset for you now that I actually understand what you're talking about!

 

I'm not about to let her take credit for that! When I mentioned that I was going to the gym to burn off my frustrations instead of eating them, I used the term "unfat" first. She just repeated it.

Sigh... thanks for the comments everyone. I'm just so over the female population... We're no good, I tell ya! And to think, while I was at the gym, she called me. I was tired and confused so I answered (shouldve just let it go to voicemail, in retrospect), and she asked me about homework for the class. Really, now?

Anyway. I just got off my chem exam. I have another exam in the morning and my lab, back to back. I'm currently procrastinating studying and finishing my pre and post labs... It's okay. I guess I just wont sleep tonight...

 

Oh, ugh! Really, you're so much better than her. Don't allow yourself to stoop to her level. You trooper, hang in there.

 

While I have to admit that taking the high road is probably a better approach, I think it would have been hilarious to tell her a made up assignment.

Also, I can't stand chicks either, so I'm with you there. No good.

Also also, good luck with your exams and other school work. Hang in there, lady!

 

That is seriously farked up man.

 

high school sucks...alot....

 

Heather, Speedy, thanks.

Unfortunately for the BSB, it hasn't worked out that we exempters are unbelievably stubborn. We didn't get here by being wishy-washy about what we want. We know what we want and we'll damn sure get it, whatever it takes.

 

I'm sorry Yellow. Any major problem in particular?

 

Wowowow, did she say one thing that ISN'T insulting? What a moron. You seem too friendly for this world.

 

As you know, my partner is a solicitor. I know stubborn very well.

 

Half an hour until Armageddon...
