The Complaining and Bitching Thread

FTFY

 

Weird parents are the lifeblood of the world.

Here's looking at you, dad.

 

Oh, I hear ya. I seem to have a thousand decisions that are based on whether I stay a contractor or move to regular employee. Both are good; but I need to make opposite decisions based on which they choose.

 

That's recognizing the difference between weird-awesome parents and weird-helicopter parents.
The former = Awesome
The latter = Go away, please. Thanks.

 

Go back to ignoring us....

They were THOSE parents.

Please don't use (Whatever product it was) because we read an article that it's not good. That one article that was in a random facebook post is helping us to raise our child.

 

Even better...when militant moms go on long-winded Facebook tirades about the destructive nature of infant circumcision.

Yeah, that happened.

 

Your words say "no, no, no" but your eyes say "stab, stab, stab".

 

Even worse are the anti vaccine, I want everything only natural things for my baby parents.
Sorry, the only reason I'm not thrashing around on the floor every day is because of a nifty cocktail of drugs and I'm old enough to have known a couple of kids who were paralyzed by polio.
Don't tell me not to vaccinate my kids.

 

My nephew has to have surgery on his urethra in a few weeks because he was circumcised. But you don't see me ranting about it.

 

GeneticShift, you should've been working in my department a year ago. We'd almost consider a whole hour a luxury. You can ask Freetofly for back-up.

The bigger academic question is whether your prof is (a) lazy, (b) a deliberate asshole (as opposed to the more common accidental ones you meet every day), or (c) mentally ill.

Our previous boss was about 30% (b) and 70% (c).

Maybe you can grind him up, soak him in a suitable solvent, then run him through a GC or LC. No sense in guessing; might as well quantitate the SOB.

If you have the time, you can always come east and clean our house, snowy! Especially if it would make you feel better.

 

For $2. Right? Right?!

 

A couple of long-winded bitchings to get off my chest...

I bought a 3mth Xbox Live Gold card from Amazon, who sold it for another company.
After I got it in the mail, the card didn't work.
I went to Amazon and read the 1 star reviews and it turns out there are a lot of complaints about the cards from that company, saying they only worked in Korea.
I've gotten cards twice before from Amazon, so I didn't think to read the reviews this time. sigh
A bunch of the 1 star reviews say that M$ and Amazon go back and forth in assigning the blame on the other company, and so a lot of the reviewers ended up eating the cost of the card so they wouldn't have to keep dealing with the bullshit. I'll give it a whirl, but am not looking forward to it.

Second bitch...
I went for my usual hated doctor's check-up this morning, tried to give blood for tests, but after 4 different sticks was told to go down to the lab so they could give it a stab. (I declined by not showing up. yes, I'm a pussy)
On the way home, a deluge opened up and we nearly had the second coming of Noah. As we were making our way outside of town down the highway in the fastlane, the pickup in front of us (by a car length) in the slow lane, decides at the last second to turn left at the last three-way stop light out of town.
He swerves over in front of us with no use of blinker, brakes or hand signals and gets into the left turn lane.
It's possible the dumb-ass didn't see us because we were in his blind spot, but it's more probable that it was just another idiot Texan that can't drive right in anything other than sunshine. I still don't trust them in sunshine, much.
After unclenching my ass-cheeks from the seat and taking my foot off the passenger side brake, I realized I had squished two burgers in the JITB bag I was holding. sigh

I hate going to the doctor.

 

Yes, thank you for sending that my way. Our windows on the 16th floor looked like they were breathing. At one point, it was so dark that you couldn't see anything outside the windows without turning off the lights. I got a video of the windwos moving so much they set off the wind chimes hanging from them. It was freakish.
I'm now sending it to @CinnamonGirl, @LordEden, @Ralphie, and @Cayvmann. You're welcome. It's hauling ass, so it should be there soon.
Went from 85*F to 57*F in about 30 minutes. Happy Freeze Warning, Cinna!

Both cats are glued to me and the wind is howling down the flue and around the corner of the building.
I think it might be time for some red sauce and zoodles for dinner and a beer, followed by a soak in the tub.
I have a lot of packing to do, but I don't want my clothes to sit in the suitcase for two days and get more wrinkledy.
I won't complain about my cats, because they're petrified, but damn, getting whacked in the face repeatedly by a Bengal tail sucks.

 

I hope it waits for Mrs. Cayvmann to get in from LV at 11pm... I have to pick her up
