The Complaining and Bitching Thread

Ugh, Crunchyroll's sound arbitrarily quits working.

 

I love being responsible but powerless. It's fantastic.

With one guy, I have no idea what's going on.

With another two people, together they have to do something that shouldn't take longer than ten minutes, and I've given them all day.

Look, I know people have regular jobs. But ten minutes? C'mon....

Go figure that my copy of the Pelican Shakespeare with all of my marginalia is in the box next to my desk labeled "Classroom Content Books."

I'm an idiot.

 

Evil...it does happen. Or even just bad people, they do exist.
Or even then...normal people doing bad things...they do occur.

Either way, I will not tolerate it when it happens. Not in front of me.
While I may be able to detach myself from items in the media or outside my environ...in real life...my life, not so.

And mostly this doesn't occur in my personal life...mostly I see it happen in my work.
And I care...but not just because I care, I do...but it DOES affect me. Hell, it could even hurt me.
Or if it hurts another, then I won't be able to live with myself that I could have potentially stopped it.
Maybe it's the "spider-man" in me.

If you lie to me. I will note it to you.
If you manipulate me, I will not trust you.
If you put me in a harmful situation, I will not work for you. (long)

Don't get me wrong, I'll do anything you order me to do. I'll do it. (with a little CYA, of course...I'm not stupid)
BUT, it cannot hurt someone. (meaning literally hurt)
And don't fuck with me. (it insults my intelligence...and isn't that why you hired me in the first place??? hmm??)

Just in my relationships...I'm not asking for perfection, just that you have my back.
And in my job, I'll do anything...but I'm not a slave or imbecile. I'm a professional. Not a tool.

If I have to move on, so be it.
But at least I'm alive. At least I'm sane. And at least I can live with myself.

And that's why I live in an area with lots of options.
Because life is too short to deal with assholes for too long.

This is my life, mine is not yours.
Bye, your loss.
And I do know it's your loss...I've seen the pattern after...I'm not wrong...it will end up costing you...more than you can think.
Your arrogance, your pettiness, it will be your ruin. (or at least, lots of pain)

(hmm...maybe I should nickname myself "Ben" )

 

I don't know the schedule for today. I don't like that.

 

Mine is pretty set.

Football. Basically all day. And night. Might squeeze some productive stuff in there every now and again.

 

Yeah, that's part of it, but we're tailgating, and I don't know when people are getting started. Game's at 5, so I expect we'll wander down there between 2-3 just to have a chance to enjoy the atmosphere. Civil War is something else. You really ought to come out some year. Tailgating at Oregon State is tons of fun--unlike Autzen, Reser is right on campus. And you better believe I enjoy myself drinking at my alma mater, in public and in broad daylight, both things I couldn't do as a student.

 

Can't find my glasses anywhere this morning.

 

Ugh, it's already Sunday evening and time to face the realization that the work week is coming.

 

Still haven't found my glasses. Thankfully I have a spare pair. Otherwise, I'd be really screwed.
