Grumpy Old Forumers

Nah it was more of the fact alot of the media in the project was strewn all over C:/ aka Windows drive but no worries it all moved quite well actually, Vegas picked up all the files no problem.

Why do people order a small diet soda when they get a f*cking assload of fast food? Does that make up for the meal?

 

It's boggled me for years.

And the fact that there's a swear filter in a god damn Grand Theft Auto forum!

 

A free, public forum funded by advertising...

that still doesn't make it any less stupid for not allowing cursing on a grand theft auto forum. Edited February 26, 2016 by Maibatsu545

The point could've hit him pretty bad by the looks of it.

The office corporate jargon is mildly nerve wracking. Lately it's been the words robust, leverage (when not referring to debt), and offshoring just to name a few. It comes off as smarmy filler.

20+ years of edge IT

I love robust.

 

I like seamless and transparent as well.

 

Simple.

As a company, we love agile development at the moment, which as far as I can tell just means not testing things before you deploy them.

 

As an individual who has to use these things, I usually do not enjoy agile development.

I am a grumpy individual on this day. It's my first saturday and sunday off since early december and I'm hella sick B- (

[mr quick]

Call work and ask them if you can swap your weekend for Monday and Tuesday. Then call in sick.

 

Nah I have two jobs. One full-time mon-fri and then another which is sat and sun.

 

 

I'm fine &^)

[mr quick]

thanks it's because of the fumes* B-)

So we have a career center at our school to get transcripts and sh*t. They're always going on and on about how nice they are and how willing they are to help students. I go there today and this fat lady says "Oh we're closed" with a mean look on her face and an attitude. "Come back Monday" I walked out, went to the counselors, got my god damn transcripts and was out the door in 10 minutes. Incompetent ass idiots.

[mr quick]

I mean, there is a possibility that they were indeed closed and not out to get you.

[AlienTwo]

^^ lol

 

Doubtful.

I hate it when the morning class got cancelled and nobody told me. It wasted my time on waking up early and getting prepped for nothing.

I hate it when the morning class got cancelled and nobody told me. It wasted my time on waking up early and getting prepped for nothing.

Reminded me of past Thursday. We had this "Martyr's Day" holiday or some bullsh*t. Most schools are closed, or at least public ones (can't be so sure for "private" schools though). My school however wasn't. When I headed to school, everything went normal.... except that the school looked like a haunted house - it was empty, almost nobody came, at least for High School students. In fact, in my class by default there's about 18 students, only 5 came that day, including me.

 

Before the first class even started (we enter our classes as soon as we come in regardless of the class time, dunno how schools in other countries work) the "High School Minister" as we tend to call him said "just go home, there's no school today". One part of me was happy because I wasn't in a good mood when I woke up, another side is about to explode from anger. Like, why didn't you just tell us not to come yesterday (Wednesday) in the first place, saving us all from waking up at 6:something-7:30 AM in the morning?!

 

Ugh, I hate how schools work in this bullsh*t country.

I'm just a bit grumpy because my glasses broke. Thankfully the screw just fell out and I can put them back together tomorrow when there is some decent enough sunlight in my house to see what i'm doing.

A similar thing happened to my mother a few years ago. My first cat was pregnant and was just about giving birth. Unlike all the other cat pets I had (after her), she always stayed in our house inside. She knew everything in my parents' bedroom.... and knew that its the No.1 safest place for her children. Obviously no one wants a cat to lay her "stuff" right under their heads/bed, my parents started a World War III trying to stop her from entering.

 

Nope, didn't work. She simply refused leaving the room and look somewhere else until I came in. Managed to grab her and took her somewhere else where it would be safer for her and for her little children. Not finding any good place (and while running around to prevent her from tossing her sh*t on my chest) I had no choice but put her deep inside the garage. The whole place was (and still is) full of stuff, especially deep inside. There was no way an intruder to figure out how to find them. All this happened at night.

 

The outcome? My mother's Glasses broke. Yay!

Not that I have any issues with her - in fact, she's the best pet I ever had, at least in this city.

 

 

OT:

I have no idea what's wrong with my cat's left paw. She can't stand on it, and if I even tried touching it she starts scratching me, pushing me away. I'm worried. My parents said "it happens, it may be just a small hiccup or something", yet this had continued for 2 days (discovered this in Friday). Her 'hand' looks.... seemingly out of its place. Like its broken or something. And knowing that piece of sh*t of a father, he won't let me take her to pet shops to see what's wrong with her, as per the usual. Hmph! She doesn't seem to be *that* happy either. The past week she was joyful, jumping everywhere. Since the past Friday she seems "scared", but scared of what?

 

I did heard cat screams, hinting at a cat fight at Friday's night. My guess? She was probably fighting an asshole and fell of a tree? I dunno. I just don't want her hand to become worse.

More of a regret than a grump... I got a bit too happy with some alcohol... I don't think I need to go into detail from there tbh.

[Gnocchi Flip Flops]

People who do the whole pity party thing "oh nobody cares that I have to do this or that" "nobody cares about me, none of y'all care" blah blah blah, shut the f*ck up. If you're going to play that game then I definitely don't want to be bothered with you.

[mr quick]

could be a desperate attempt by a depressed individual to hear people say that they care

[ten-a-penny]

One would expect that living with my parents for all this time they would realize my "night patterns".

 

Cook dinner exactly @ 10:30 PM;

Start eating after 5-15 minutes max;

Go to bed @ or around 11:30 PM.

 

 

Ugh, I feel like I'll need to hang a sign thing that says the above times for my parents to FINALLY figure it out. Hello! Its obvious! Especially to that braindead idiot of a father. He keeps whining about me not going to bed in *his* fantasy clock, even though I repeatedly told him that I can't sleep well if I slept before or after 11:30 PM. Talking to a wall makes better sense.

I set up the time for my kids, not the other way around!

 

When they'll be able to invite me "chez" them, they can set it up by whatever patterns they'll stick up to by then.

I'll surely respect it and certainly be truly proud of them, even though they'll probably be screaming out loud "Pops, just stop pissing at the fireplace, no more free scotch for you, it's time to go home".

Not if you ended up feeling like you've never slept in all your life when you wake up in the morning.

Oh man, welcome to my world!

 

My 22 months girl is still trying to have her own night schedule, though she keeps changing it on a daily basis.

Some nights are good, others (like the last 4) just not...

 

Both kids are always on a puling test game, nevertheless I can assure you that meal time is still established by me and Mum.

I truly wish we had some tight schedule that could be set, but due to work & other sh*t it's just not possible all the time.

 

Come back to me when you'll have the responsibility to provide for your wife and kids, with no support at all. I'm pretty sure you'll realize then how petty you look now and you'll probably (sometimes) envy those days back then with all the cats & their sh*ts.

 

I've managed to rest about 15 hrs on the last 100 or so, so here you go.

 

PS - @ Alien - I meant to support you earlier, but...

I wish you all the best on this "fight" that you're on.

Regardless of the outcome, hopefully your kid will (somehow) benefit from it in the future. He seems to have some damn good Dad, so that's a huge plus on my standards!

[AlienTwo]

Thanks Eram... things are always changing, but right now it looks ok. Don't know.... I think the papers being delivered and everything being as official and real has helped her to think about some of her choices...

Meh I get that. Just an in the moment rant about somebody trying to make me feel bad yesterday...

 

Anyways, I'm feeling crabby at the moment. Don't know why, just am.

[Eram]

@Alien - That's cool.

I truly wish all the best to you and your family.

 

If you'll cross the Atlantic in the future feel free to contact me, my youngest would surely get along with yours and I've got lots of hair to spare for you buddy
