Hey you know what's fun, waiting for 3 weeks to get an answer if you got the internship or not and then you don't get it and you have one month to find a new internship somewhere.

 

COOL TNX

Next time you keep putting out application, don't wait on one or another. Keep posting the paper. They expect you to be asking about.

How much they want you will mean how fast they get back to you. When they take their time it means your application isn't very strong.

In the mean time you keep looking, you may be suprised to find a better situation.

I'm grumpy cause it's now the coldest in North America, RIGHT in my home State, and I hate the friggin' cold! We went from a string of 40s and 50s, mild nearly all winter to this week falling below zero, 10 degrees for the high temp! Seeing some flakes of snow, but just a coating on the ground really, lucky in that regard, but it's sooooooo cold, it's not like up in the arctic circle where they've seen 19 below zero! Also some 30 feet of snow WAY up North in Alaska

Well my application got a respond right away and I had the interview the next day. However this interview was with a current intern who's supervisor was on holiday until this week, hence the long waiting time.

 

It was a weird story anyway, because when the supervisor came back from his/her holidays two magicians showed up that day and got the internship instead of me. I don't mind getting a rejection but letting people wait for such a long time and keeping their hopes up, while a choice has already been made (apparently), why would you do that.

Magicians? What the hell kind of internship are you applying for?

I can see why someone would be pissed at missing out on that.

Bad customer service!!!!!

 

At one point in my life I was professionally trained to be an ass kisser so as to work in an upscale specialty retail environment. I may have high expectations when it comes to customer service, but I am also a very understanding person.

 

Yesterday I had to have some paint mixed. So I wait in line at the paint mixing counter at the local home store(Home Depot). My turn comes up and I tell the guy what I need. I let him know that I am going to do some other shopping and I'll be back in a few minutes. 20 minutes later I return to the the paint counter and my f*cking paint isn't there. He never did it. Now why the f*ck would he take my order, get all the details, and say "Cool, I'm on it" if he wasn't going to do it?

 

Eventually I saw him and he saw me. He knew I was pissed yet he didn't apologize. I spent the rest of my time in the store walking 6 inches behind him staring him down. Every so often he would half turn his head to see if I was still there - only to meet my piercing eyes.

 

From now on I will drive the extra 10 minutes to Lowes since Home Depot has now been added to my boycott list.

A few minutes doesn't really seem like you actually mean 20 in my opinion. Was this guy quite young? Totally dont understand why he wouldn't of done it then and just put it to one side. He obviously remembered the face to the paint. I've always found some issues with customer service in DIY places. You either can't find anybody to help you, or you end up with someone who looks about 12 and doesn't actually know anything about the problem.

He wasn't young enough. I'd guess him to be later 30s. The common practice when getting paint is to order it - they mix it - you return whenever and your filled order is sitting there off to the side with your tag and everything. We do a allot of interior painting here, so I'm all too familiar with the ordering process. The only time the time lapse matters is when it is over 24 hrs. After a day of no pickup they put the paint on a clearance rack.

 

Honestly, if something happened where he flaked and just forgot, I would have been more than understanding if he would have said so. The thing is he knew he wronged me and made no attempt to rectify - even if it was just words. So because of that, Home Depot got an email from me stating my boycott and reasoning. I hold very try to my boycotts too.

 

 

[lil weasel]

If you hadn't paid, and just walked away, I would have figured a practical joker. Getting the paint mixed and never going to really be picking it up.

 

Liken to the people who get a cart load of Frozen food and milk and then leave the cart and go home.

WTF Gamestop. So my copy of IV died, I had it since launch and felt pretty sh*tty bout it going down. So I had a gift card for forty bucks to GS and figured fuk it, I pick up a copy that has a "new" sticker on it. Give to the guy at the counter and he gets a copy from the wall behind him, rings me up I go home. Take it outta the bag to open it to find out its already been opened, case shattered and smudges on the disc. WTF Gamestop. Asshole cracka ass busta foos.

internet banking websites. I get so f*cked off I end up punching my f*cking pillows in anger and throwing my coat around. the f*cking thing tells me to reset my f*cking password and memorable information, I have to call them once I done it and quote my ref number and account number to some automated f*cking machine. they might as well get you one of those annoying indian women on the phone thats really slow and asks you to repeat everything for her 5 times

What the f*ck is up with all of these little emo bastards spewing regurgitated sh*t out of their mouths going on and on about "How hard my life is" and how "My emotional pain is beyond your understanding". You know who has the right to complain? Not you you selfish little emo fa**ots. People all over the world are going through a 10000× more bullsh*t then you pricks are going through. If any of you could even fathem what it feels like to be starving with hundreds of thousands of different types of bacteria and viruses eating you from the inside out then I would show simpathy, but you know what? I don't know what that feels like and neither do you imbiciles because if you did you'd be Ethiopian!!! Now quit crying like a little bitch over the "sad-looking kittens and puppies commercial" or whatever it is you douches do in your spare time...thats what really grinds my gears....

 

S.O.P.A. my A.S.S. f*ck SOPA and almost everything it stands for. Sure it would be great to ease up on piracy so the hard working people who made the IP can still get their fair chunk of cash, but internet censorship? REALLY? The web can be just as much for retards (no derogation intended), as it can be for intellectuals looking to better their education by online learning and research. SOPA WILL allow big named corporations in America to freely censor what used to be the most participational right to free speech us Americans have, which no matter how you look at it is wrong in so many aspects. Once again, for the umpteenth time, congress is proving how ignorant they can really be. Now I'm not much for strong politics, but this pisses me off to a whole new extent. Corporations and "Big Brother" are already controlling what we watch and say on television, is it really too much to ask that we have a sanctuary to go to in order to say what we truly believe in our hearts and converse with other people in the way that we feel comfortable doing so? I ASK YOU!?! What's next? Are they gonna censor real life like that one episode of Family Guy? The day this bill passes will be the day that our founding fathers roll over in their graves to avoid their spirits from seeing what this country has become. There will be a price to pay if this bill passes. Riots and Protests will spring up from the ground and subsequently place each member of congress's head on a pike, making them watch as this country is torn apart by the "Higher Power" that the government wishes they really were.

Self Service Tills*

 

They are slow, inefficient, noisy, annoying and never work properly, if you add in believing chatting to their mate about latest Soap Opera story is more important than serving you then that is your average supermarket worker. So in fact they are better as they have none of the stroppy attitude people seem to have.

*This is a discussion of tills in grown up supermarkets rather than Morrisons who have decided software is too complex a beast to master so has a couple of grumpy hamsters underneath the swipe typing in each individual barcode rather than any kind of sensible computer based operation that would actually be efficient. With the current system it is a statistical fact that there is more chance of winning £160 million on the lottery than the swipe on a Morrisons SST working three times in a row.

 

Reasons self service tills are good

They are more intelligent than the average supermarket worker

They wind people up.... watching cocky queue cutting smug twats being reduced to gibbering wrecks pleading with the machine to recognise the product is always fun.

You don’t have to speak to the moronic staff. It said that people miss the social interaction of speaking to a real person but let’s be truthful if being patronised by an idiot reading a pre prepared script is your idea of social interaction then you shouldn’t be allowed out anywhere on your own, especially somewhere you can buy knives.

A self service till means you never have to feel guilty for eying up the tarty eye candy on the till as she puts on her light to get permission to sell you alcohol and you realise how young she must be...

And people who prefer to queue up just to flirt with girls who are paid to nod politely are creepy, grow some balls and get yourself off to Anal Badger*

*Other ‘real’ strip clubs are available

Well guys i've allways had sh*t luck when buying new things. I allways seem to buy things with technical faults. A week ago i bought a safe and instead of it just working like it normally would the one i pick wont open. So im pissed of but w/e i take it back and get a new one no big deal just a f*cking pain in the ass having to wait 24hours to finally be able to use the product i bought

 

Well yesterday i was a f*cking idiot i thought i could buy a wide screen tv and it would plug in and work easily right ? Wrong because i bought it at a 2nd hand auction the f*cking thing doesnt have a manual and my ps2 wont work on it. I'm so pissed of because onestly if it just played my ps2 i wouldn't even care that i can't watch tv on it because i rarely watch t.v

 

 

But no my 360 works fine but my ps2 wont. so now i gotta f*cking wait to take this thing back go throw all the hassle of taking it back explaining everything and getting my money back

 

yes i should expect this buying something second hand but f*ck why cant it just work for me when i buy it nooooooo theirs allways something that doesnt work

 

This is why i'll NEVER buy a second hand car knowing my luck i'll pick one that is completely f*cked. I'm just so sick of buying sh*t and having this happen

 

sorry for the rant and poor english as you can tell im mad and needed to vent.

Is the signal reaching the TV?

Which cables are you using?

or Is the Picture distorted, requiring the TV to have adjustment (like mine) to go from WS to Standard view?

People who don't pick up their dog poo! Whenever I walk my dog, or whenever anyone in my family walk the dog we always take 2 bags with us. It's called being responsible. So when I see some jackass who just lets their dog sh*t all over the place without picking it up it really pisses me off. Yh it's dirty, yh it smells and yh it ain't nice, but man the f*ck up and stop being so lazy.

Around here you get killed if you don't pick up after your dog. The residence will berate you until you pick it up and the fine on the books is $300 (and it is enforced)

 

My rant won't make sense to pretty much anyone unless they ride the trolleys in Philadelphia. Where I pick up my trolley to come home from work is a central hub. There are 6 different lines that pick up passengers there. 3 of them stop at one section of the platform and the other 3 stop in another section of the platform.

 

OK. so if you are waiting for your trolley and it isn't yours that stops where you are waiting...don't just stand there blocking the doorway to my trolley!!!! Get the f*ck out of the way and let us get the f*ck on our trolley.

I'm grumpy because PCGuytech is MIA, I fear for his safety, he's normally not out of contact, one way or another. Mike, if you read this, contact someone for Gosh's sakes!! We need to know you're still alive in the land of the living!

 

I'm depressed that Winter finally found us, it was SOOOOOO nice this year, well.....last year, technically

what an immature rant. you can't label people using words like that, you think it takes courage to dress differently and get stick for it every day? I do, if these people are complaining about their lives maybe its because they get bullied everyday by people like yourselves who have nothing better to do but judge them by their appearance and music tastes.

EMO is just short for emotion/emotional and was first used for hardcore rock bands that mixed heavy music with melody and emotional lyrics. Its not about wearing tight jeans, putting on eyeliner and having a wearily pessimistic view of the world , that came from the new wave scene and developed into goth. kids go through sh*t like this to find out who they are in life, these scenes are usually fake.

And for your information ethiopia is not the only poverty stricken country in the world and starvation is not the only hardship, its spectacularly sanctimonious to ignore anyone's plea for help if they aren't suffering like that.

Same here, man. I get really irate with people who don't spell correctly. Fair enough, if you're in an emergency and you really need to be quick, that's fine, but if you do it out of sheer laziness then that really grinds my gears. Around here you get a lot of people who pronounce "th" like an "f". So Thursday becomes Fursday, three becomes free etc. This really drives me insane. Do they realize how moronic they sound? Mix that with the fact that they say "dat" instead of "that" and it becomes really stupid. I'm hard of hearing so I have to lip read a fair amount and people like that really test my patience.

 

Also, people with bad teeth. It's not pleasant to lip read those people when they look like they have a mouth full of crushed biscuits. Again, this is laziness. Brushing your teeth takes two minutes twice a day. It's really not difficult.
