The Complaining and Bitching Thread

Nothing like a rant on socialism from my son-in-law to get the festivities started. This was after my daughter and he hit me up for a new washer and drier because I could afford it and they couldn't. It's only noon here and the hypocrisy is in full swing.

 

Dear Mary J Blige,
Shut up and sing the damn song. Seriously.
Love,

Hm...both Twitter and Facebook getting on your nerves, B_G? Is someone going into social network overload?

 

Come on... can we really blame him?

Have you *seen* Stan's teats?

 

Ah. Yes.
Twitter can be satisfying but I've been brutal about no following ppl whose Tweets are like fingernails on a chalkboard. I give them maybe 30 days then cut the cord if they don't straighten up and fly right. But that behaviour is counter-intuitive if your goal is to boost your followers. I blocked over 150 spammy types all at once and realized in hindsight that it would take forever to get my follower count back (I'm almost at 300--woo).
It takes a lot of patience for me--and still, Tumblr, which I only joined 2 months ago is most gratifying. I'm easily impressed, I suppose. The community seems more intimate and willing to like or reblog stuff I've put up.

 

Did you?

 

My router has gone kaput.

Black Friday is going on out there and I will have to get into my car and go to Best Buy for a new one. Wah.
(I live basically across the street from the major mall on this side of town. You have no idea what it's like this time of year. Murder.)

 

So, I am a little pissed at the instructor for my UCF course. She writes me an email saying that I forgot to include the answers to the "four narrative questions" that were "clearly stated" in the instructions for the assignment (journal article critique) so I go back to look for the questions in the link under the "assignments" tab and I don't see them there. So I write back to her asking for clarification and she writes me back a snippy response saying that they are under the "modules" tab where she again claims that they were "clearly stated." I'm sorry, there is nothing "clear" about that course or the fucking design of the "online classroom" at all - shit is scattered everywhere and nothing about it is intuitive - and when you have an "assignments" tab where all of our assignments are listed (along with instructions for completing them) and the instructions for one of them is not complete, don't get snippy with your goddamned students about it. Finding out what you need to do to complete an assignment shouldn't be like a fucking scavenger hunt. Fuck me, I hate that class.

 

I have saved myself the trip by talking daughter #1 to go out and get it for me. I knew there was a reason I had these babies.

 

Laying in the dark with a headache days after convincing a doctor that my headaches aren't a big deal so I don't get dropped from the assignment I'm on. FML

 

My neighbors are getting their roof redone and I'm enjoying all the noises that come with it.

It sounds like someone is knocking on my front door every 15 minutes. Which is depressing.

Nobody wants to visit me.

 

Wow, even after T-dot? I clearly didn't do my job.
