I'm reaping what I've sown in my youthful indiscretion. My credit sucks badly. The job I've got is enough to cover rent & bills, but I have a lot of credit card debt to pay off, a few items that have gone to collection companies, and a sizeable levy from the taxman.

I dream of someday owning my own house in this town, but between my credit & the jacked up prices around here, I'm afraid it's going to remain a dream for a couple more years.

Working for an ethically challenged moron.

Generally, the one thing that kicks my butt the most is myself.

WOW ...... I just moved overseas again to start a new company. I decided to room with a buddy, but the renovations on his place weren't done, so I have been playing super geek by day and carpenter by night. Then getting super sick from burnout. HACK SNEEZE COUGH

Homework.....It never ends.

my life is gettin kicked in by a term paper, my gf is being a warmonger, my mom is gone crazy, and im seeing people i know get picked off by car wrecks.

BobDFish 04-20-2003 05:30 PM

The laundry list applies, school, work, women, being poor, health. But nyeh, that's life. Much as I hate blind optimisim and the like, for the moment I've got the TFP back - and that's enough to make it all worthwhile for now.

degrawj 04-20-2003 05:47 PM

a 15 page research paper that is due on thursday.

Frosstbyte 04-20-2003 05:50 PM

Yes, a rant and rave thread. Definitely a good thing to stumble upon. 1) Failing my psych class for no reason I can think of. 2) 15 page paper due in a week that I haven't started. 3) Girl is driving me up a wall. Other than that, though, life is...peachy. ::flashes a quick grin::

Frosstbyte 04-20-2003 05:51 PM

Oh, something I forgot. I don't have a job yet. Little details, little details. ::grumbles::

BubblegumTeflon 04-20-2003 06:23 PM

school projects for finals week, as usual. At least I don't have too many sit-down finals involving written tests, that's nice.

vermin 04-20-2003 06:30 PM

Trying to find a job, knowing that unemployment isn't enough to live on, and in about a month things are going to start getting repossessed if I don't find something soon. Anybody need an experienced PRO/E electrical designer?

The fucknut I work for displays this amazing ability to become even MORE rectocranially inverted...He has pulled me out of meetings, scolded me for answering questions, and nearly fired me...for taking a support call from one of our customers.

Mark Combes is a fucking dipshit idiot clueless fuckwad rumnut asshole fuckstick who should pack it all in and go back to his previous job driving a beer truck. He has no clue how to handle people, no managemental skills whatsoever, no vision, no motivation besides making management happy, and worst of all he fucking reeks most of the time.

My boss is kicking right now.

appling for university

blkdmnd 04-20-2003 08:02 PM

Bunch of students here. Boy do I envy you guys. Trust me, it gets better (or worse depending on your view point).

I'm trying to figure out how to finance my expanding business. Just paid $10,000 in taxes, tuition is due for the kids in private school, 10 year anniversary is in 4 days, no gift, and I need to pay myself this week but don't know if the funds will be available in the business account.

Meanwhile, I smoke, I drink too much and I'm probably 40 lbs. overweight.

But you know what, I'm with Sixate,

MY BUTT GETS KICKED BY NOTHING!

rock_bottom 04-20-2003 08:12 PM

This lady who tells me she will hire me for what's more or less my dream job, what I've been working for, what I could be happy doing for a long time. I show up at her office to follow up, and she's like "Oh I really want to hire you! Call me in a week!" and that's been going on for a two months. Geeze! If you don't want to hire me, say so! Or better yet, don't lead me on and get my hopes way up if you are full of crap.
I feel so used!

SexyCat 04-20-2003 09:02 PM

School....I graduate in two weeks.

LewisCouch 04-20-2003 09:53 PM

Rotator cuff injury and I threw my back out. It sucks to be me right now. Oh well, at least finances are in good shape.

darksparkles 04-20-2003 11:12 PM

mainly me trying to get normal shit done while i try to deal with my boyfriend spazzing because he has no time to relax due to his shiny new deadbeat roomie.

StnkyMnky 04-20-2003 11:28 PM

School of course. I am taking a couple of computer science classes AND an EMT intermediate class at the same time. It all works out so that if I am not struggling with trying to learn some stupid trick to keep linux running I am trying to correctly cannulate an I.V on a 65 year old woman in my class while worrying about the guy in the corner who is really nervous and shaky that is gonna be sticking a needle in my arm next.

dvorak 04-21-2003 09:44 AM

I'm trying to orchestrate a move from Upstate NY to New Orleans in 6 weeks. I have no job lined up and very little money. I need to find an apartment, move my belongings, and then find a job.

fienna 04-21-2003 09:53 AM

Paying $30,000 a year for the privlege of being mentally abused ... also known as law school.

Looking for work and being forced to move in 5 weeks

:cool: I kinda miss my Kidneys every now nd then

ATVfreak 04-21-2003 04:08 PM

Xixox I know what you mean, screwed my credit up when I was young and paying the price now, I'm trying to rebuild my credit to buy some land and it sucks!

raeanna74 04-21-2003 04:31 PM

The flu. One child in my home day care got over it a week ago but must have still had a touch. My whole weekend was shot sittting up nights and doing laundry because my almost 3 yr old daughter was sick with the stomach flu. Nasty! I've been feeling nauseated myself but don't know if it's some new meds the Doc gave me last week or that I'm coming down with the flu. The flu SUCKS!

WildZero 04-21-2003 04:49 PM

Reserved error messages with no descriptions in Microsoft Access....ODBC problems when connecting to Teradata Databases...dealing with middle management/clueless corporate shills who pay more attention to their suit than their quality of work (grumble).

Cynthetiq 07-20-2007 12:57 PM

This stupid application that was built like a blind person trying to paint the Sistine Chapel and the business people that are slow to respond to requests to what needs to be done to fix it.

Willravel 07-20-2007 01:08 PM

Some evil genius built a McDonald's across the street from my place of business. It smells like fries and burgers from about 11:30 AM on, and it's driving me nuts. I've brought my Ionic Breeze air freshener into my office, but I had a damn BBQ Chipotle Snackwrap today and it was delicious. God damn it. McDonald's, the company I honestly abhor, kicked my butt today. I know better.

Push-Pull 07-20-2007 07:17 PM

Lack of money. It is kicking my (and my wife's) butt in a bad, bad way.

Jetée 07-20-2007 07:24 PM

A general lack of concern and motivational spark...



I'll see what tomorrow holds in store.

ziadel 07-20-2007 07:26 PM

no money and my back is smashed


thats not the worst of it tho, cant go shooting. Which I know many of you are prolly rolling your eyes, but I had hoped to goto the olympics.

:(

The_Dunedan 07-21-2007 01:34 AM

Teaching in Prague is my current Kiwi Enema.

Love the job, LOVE the students, but the money a'int coming. If things don't improve soon, I may get stuck moving back to the States to work for another year and then try Thailand or Taiwan. I do -not- want to leave this place, but it may end up happening anyway.

GSRIDER 07-21-2007 04:08 AM

2 weeks ago I decided to take the leap, quit my job and figure out how to pull money out of the air (or the wallets of needing clients).
Looking at our bills and what needs to be done to maintain is artfully trying to kick my ass.
But I keep throwing downward blocks and straffing.

Fly 07-21-2007 06:01 AM

my fucking left hip is kicking my butt right now............


i wish the bastard would stay where it's supposed to stay.

zxello 07-22-2007 10:03 PM

I read the title and knew EXACTLY what my answer was....

Microsoft Certification 70-282 Small Business Servers. I'm required to be certified in about 2 months, and really haven't enough time to study, so I'm stressing like whoa. I will lose my position at work if I don't have this certification. =(

filtherton 07-23-2007 05:01 AM

I'm sick as a dog.

abaya 07-23-2007 05:09 AM

Doing my PhD research (with no structure whatsoever, other than what I create for myself... a laughable concept) has been kicking my ass for the last 5+ months. Only because it's so hard for me to care about doing it. I've almost grown callous to it, which would be a very bad thing. Nobody wants a calloused ass, especially when a degree depends on it. :p
