Claude_Verret Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 This guy walks by my office door 4 or 5 times a day and lets out this really loud grunting noise. It sounds like he's taking a dump or something. It's really getting annoying. The only way I'll complain more is if it turns out that he's doing this because he's in serious pain due to some medical condition. In that case, I really look like a dick. Tourette syndrome?

PASabreFan Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I've been getting a lot of bananas lately with an extended banipple running right up the length of the banana. That'll put a damper on your banana experience in a hurry. One constant in life always has been that you break the banipple off and from there it's a free and clear banana experience -- no chunky bites in the middle. Nothing can be relied upon anymore, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frissonic Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) First day back to work after a week-long vacation in Oregon. BIG fan of the scenery; not at all a fan of the political slant. The coastal areas are just ridiculously gorgeous though. Went to Cannon Beach, Neskowin Beach, and Astoria. Hiked Multnomah Falls (at least partially), and generally just enjoyed the time off. And now, I'm back behind my desk, in my Cube of Solitude. *sigh* EDIT: OH! HUGE highlight: stopped by "The Goondocks," for any of you fans of The Goonies. Chatted with the lady who owns the house for about 15 minutes about daily visitors, pros and cons of living in Astoria's second largest tourist attraction (first is "The Column"), other movies filmed in Astoria (e.g. Kindergarten Cop, Free Willy), coastal differences between Oregon, California and pretty much anywhere on the eastern seaboard, other things to do in Astoria ... she was really, really cool. I feel like I should send her a thank you card for all the local tips she provided. Edited July 19, 2012 by Chris_in_UT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dEnnis the Menace Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I have a really lame complaint today: I applied for a new job that will bring me not only closer to home (Lansing vs Elmira in proximity to Dryden), but would also pay more money. I had previously interned with said company. I called to follow up with them about a week and 2 days after applying, and they told me they would email me really soon with more details/inquiries about me and my interest and to potentially set up an interview. It's been a few days, and with more and more petty high school level drama at my current job, on top of having to twist everyone's arm halfway to Sunday to get them to do their own jobs, I just want to find out if I'm getting a legit shot, or if I have to endure this hell-hole longer. I am so fed up with policy changes and the new time-card police that I am about to snap. I do all of my work in a very timely fashion, and have even been completing the work of others since they are incompetent and/or lazy. And yet, I get called out for being a little late, even tho I stayed late to make it up? WTF?! I put in 2 extra unbilled hours of work last week before taking 3 full days of PTO. I put in >40 hours on a weekly basis as a salaried employee...for what? To be called out for being between 15 and 20 minutes late on 2 occasions now? ugh... at least it's finally raining outside. Give the sprinkler a break today ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Flat tire on the bike this morning (luckily found in the garage, not on the road). Now i need to change the tire if I'm going to make my camping trip this weekend. At least I have the replacement tire already, but not the time to do the swap.

shrader Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I hate it when beer ref leagues don't even know how to drop the puck for a faceoff. Last night this guy threw one down to the ice so hard in our defensive zone that it bounced directly to the other team in the slot for a one timer GWG. It was horrendous.

Last night this guy threw one down to the ice so hard in our defensive zone that it bounced directly to the other team in the slot for a one timer GWG. It was horrendous. I hate it when Refs ruin a perfectly good game, whether it be beer league hockey, beer league softball, or any league for that matter. I watched my sister get a concussion saturday at her soccer game when a girl deliberately elbowed her in the head (and then swore at her), and my sister got called for grabbing the jersey on her way down to the ground. I thought her coach was going to murder the ref right where he stood. The other team scored off the corner kick that came after their free kick went out. SIDENOTE: my sister is ok now. Dr says it was good she had a mouth guard in, otherwise it would've been worse. it was only a minor concussion (second of her career now :thumbdown: ) . She'll be full go next weekend (first weekend of August, but should be sitting out this weekend's game). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frissonic Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 my sister in law is suicidal. i don't mean that in some colloquial throw-around term; i mean she is literally thinking of ending her life. right now, she's sleeping on my parents in law's couch. that's not my complaint. my complaint is how she's constantly treated by her "friends." all of them are back-stabbing, duplicitous snots that, if i had more time to hang out with my SIL, would get an earful and a good case of the b****-slaps. she used to be this sweet, charming girl. her current friends are these self-righteous, entitlement mentality jerks who pretend to be nice to her in front of her ... only to turn around and sh** on her every chance they get. and she keeps taking them back because she has no self esteem any more because of her f***ed up ex-husband, who long ago stripped her of any sense of self worth. no--my complaint is how some people in society have no regard for peoples feelings. my sister in law just turned 30, and most of her friends are around the same age. how does one decide at the tender age of about 30 to sh** on one person "because it's funny"?! we complain about gun laws and pro/con gay marriage issues ... screw all of that. if we can't decide as human beings to step up and say "enough is enough. may we *please* start treating people with common dignity and respect?", then we have no business handling other issues that are only off-shoots of this one constant, original problem--treating people with decency and kindness.

I'm sorry to hear what your sister in law is going through, hopefully she can get some professional help. As for her "friends"..... Wish Them Well. VICTIMIZED, BEREAVED, AND DISAPPOINTED, SEEMINGLY AT EVERY TURN, I still resist feeling defeated, or cynical. I have come to believe that anger and grudges are burning embers in the heart not worth carrying through life. The best response to those who wound me is to get away from them .. and wish them well. All that you can do is wish them well All that you can do is wish them well Spirits turned bitter by the poison of envy Always angry and dissatisfied Even the lost ones, the frightened and mean ones Even the ones with a devil inside Thank your stars you’re not that way Turn your back and walk away Don't even pause and ask them why Turn around and say goodbye People who judge without a measure of mercy All the victims who will never learn Even the lost ones, you can only give up on Even the ones who make you burn The ones who've done you wrong The ones who pretended to be so strong The grudges you've held for so long It's not worth singing that same sad song Even though you're going through hell Just keep on going Let the demons dwell Just wish them well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between that and "The Garden," I think they've managed to encapsulate the reason for human existence. We've talked to her ad infinitum about moving, finding new friends, ditching them ... she just can't do it on her own. And as an adult, we really can't do anything other than support her. Doesn't mean we have to like or agree with her choices, but we can be supportive of her. It just irks me cuz she was always so sweet and bright, happy ... now she's just this shell. You can literally see just how dead she is inside. It pains us to watch her go through this time and time again, but ultimately, it's her choice. We've offered to let her stay with us with the understanding that it's a place to crash rent-free, with no parties, no guests ... a bed, pillow, clean towels and rags, and unlimited food and use of laundry machines. She's never taken us up on it. Probably because of the "no parties" rule. Sorry, but I have two little girls who I'm not going to subject to that kind of lifestyle. Not with drugs, alcohol and what-not. Grah. What can we do but keep on loving her and supporting her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
