The 'sound off about something that sucked today' thread
Had to finally deal with crap contractor man. I probably was unprofessional about it, but it's not like he was ever really professional with me. Yet somehow I feel completely guilty about telling him straight up I wasn't working for him anymore. He wrote me an email about how I was 'almost late' to some of the gigs and how he never saw this coming. I never lodged complaints with him because (at the time) I wanted the gigs. Now he's stating 'Well, I guess you're some superstar who is too good for me.' Which is, uh, probably true but it still makes me feel like a total fuck-up, even if I may or may not be.

My fucking dialects instructor isn't in his office when he said he would be, so I'm apt to fail the class because he hasn't heard my final monologue. Let it be known that if this happens, I have the email saying that he'd be there, and the email I sent saying that I'd be calling today, and there will be hell raised. Never fuck with an Irish chick who's in pain.

No, I just failed to take into consideration the effects of my poor breaking skills while going down a large hill, the crappy historic sidewalks and paved roads of the area I live in, and the fact that drivers in West Michigan consider roller blading to be a contact sport.
I didn't get hit but I almost did on a few occasions, and I wiped out pretty badly. My shirt is probably ruined.
Edited once for poor spelling.

I was just telling my sister-in-law(ish) about my friend Ducky. He dropped a sabre on his toe, and shattered the damned bone. He stands there, looks at it, and goes, "HA! HAHA! HA! I just broke my toe..."Moto42 wrote:I smacked my left knee HARD earlier. As in "So much pain I couldn't stop laughing."
Now I can't keep from smacking it against every obstacle that comes my way.
My grandfather was just sent to the hospital...again.

Went to the dentist today. Got my molars jacked apart and drilled. Anaesthetics did not work. Not a happy bunny, me.
Geneticists have established that all women share a common ancestor, called Eve, and that all men share a common ancestor, dubbed Adam. However, it has also been established that Adam was born 80.000 years after Eve. So, the world before him was one of heavy to industral strength lesbianism, one assumes.

Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, become critics. They also misapply overly niggling inerpretations of Logical Fallacies in place of arguing anything at all.

Approximately 20 minutes after my last post here this morning, my laptop went KABLOWIE!
Hard drive appears to be ok, but the smell of burning plastic makes me think that I might be getting a new computer some time soon. Damnable money.

Getting stuck in construction work on 95 on the drive home - lanes halved, traffic at 10 mph. Jumped tracks to 295 S - 10 minute detour. Up and running, then traffic bogs because of what looked to be a minor accident on the northbound side, which apparently required all the people on southbound to slow to 15 mph to get a good view. Up and running again, then smack into more construction, situated just after the connection with 50, another large highway. Normal commute time - 40 to 50 minutes. total added time to commute - 40 minutes. Total additional cigarettes smoked - 5. Seething rage - you better believe it.

I was getting lunch at Subway and the guy ahead of me had a huge order (apparently ordering for the office). I feel cheated.
"Whoo-hoo! There's only one guy in line. I think I'll get a sub."
*Guy ahead of me* "I have 6 sandwiches to order. The first one is..."
*Me attempting to control the Fist of Death*

My employer cannot keep track of who-is-covering-for-who-on-what-day.
Case in point: Today.
Last Friday, my boss asked me to cover a shift next Wednesday. I aggree.
Later: Boss calls me up and asks if I can cover a shift on Friday instead of Wednesday. I agree.
Wednesday, 4:00PM: Mini-Boss calls me, irritated that I have not shown up for the Wednesday shift.
So I have to drop everything, my house-cleaning and job-searching and laundry to come in to work LATE wearing a pair of blue-jeans and a T-shirt that I pulled out of the rinse-cycle.
