So I'm at work right now - it's 11:30pm, and I have to take down six cubicles by tomorrow morning. It would be awesome if all the screws on the undersides of the desks weren't stripped. Grar.

The 2009 Rant, Vent, and Share thread
Well. I finally got a new printer and it is all set up. It is a lot better than my old one. This is an Epson Stylus NX415. My old one was an HP F380. Only cost me $60 and then I paid an extra $20 for a two year warranty.
I managed to get my page for tomorrow done in the nick of time.
I really hope i get a girlfriend this semesterI've dreamed of meeting a guy who was actually attracted to me for many years (since I WAS a teenager), so I understand in a way (except that I'm an unattractive, tubby straight girl approaching 30 :-P ). And since I moved away from my college town, to my parents' place in rural VA, all the guys my age around here are married with several kids or divorced with several kids. And none have any of the same interests/experiences as me.
I have resigned myself to stop looking/dreaming for now. It probably won't happen anyway, and I have more pressing concerns. My seasonal position ends in one month, and I'll be unemployed again. Sigh. Oh well, at least I have one more thing on my resume now.

I've dreamed of meeting a guy who was actually attracted to me for many yearsBoth of you- just go where you'll have better odds. Easier said than done, I know, but it's how people have always done it. Whether the people that meet your requirement will be found in a work place, gallery openings, seminars, conventions, specific tour holidays, concerts, nightclubs, I dunno. You will though.

Ugh, I have a headache. Stupid Fridays. Stupid not getting enough sleep -_-
That maid-munkee is just…….
At least he's scowling! >:[
Dogsitting is going pretty well, she does seem to have less energy this year so she can make do with one walk a day instead of two. She still loses tennis balls pretty quickly though so a trip to the pet store is in order today. She also still likes to whine to be let out in the middle of the night and start barking into the darkness, so no potty breaks after 10 pm for her.
She spent the first two days not eating, and so after she poked unhappily at her food I would take her bowl away and give it back at dinner time. Last night some fell out of the bowl and onto the patio and she gobbled it up. Apparently she was starving, but she doesn't like to eat out of metal bowls. (But is happy to eat off the ground, so she got her dinner off the paving stones last night, haha.) This morning I dug out a ceramic roasting tray for her, she better not break it. T_T
She's cute though. She loves Union so much. She likes to lay on Union's beds but will only do it when Union's not in the room.
I am totally gonna go make a breakfast sandwich with ham slices and eggs and a cheese!
You mustn't anger the fish provider O_O
Too late D:
YES! That is the reason :)Ugh, I have a headache. Stupid Fridays. Stupid not getting enough sleep -_-Not partying too hard are you?
Lonnehart, you will now be my spin-doctor. You can make me sound more interesting and fun than I am. I love it!
Plus, the pills are mostly working now so I don't feel tooo bad at the moment… Unlike that Jet-lagged Hippie. ^_^
Unlike that Jet-lagged Hippie.
I first read that as Let-Legged Hippie! - a great character idea for my short comic, The Diabolical Dr Ozone :O.
Fwooooosh! I would accompany this with an awesome picture of me with jet legs, but this isn't my computer. Which brings me to my next rant: lack of wi-fi. :(
My sister might come over and join me. That would make me feel a lot better.
eugh… was the only postman this morning, usually we are two, so I had to deliver the mail to EVERY SINGLE F*CKING PERSON IN THE WHOLE FRIGGIN TOWN!!!! in rain…
Aaaaaaand I have my other job in 1 hour 15 mins or so… thank heavens for coffe, I am on my 7th cup today :)
OUCH!! f*cking coffe burned my tounge :(!!!
I sometimes feel like I'm the only sane person around.
Because I am aware of whats going on (to a certain extent. I may not know everything but I'm sure as hell more aware than the average person who wont even look up at the sky).
Because I actually question my reality.
I'm not insane, It's every else that's insane.
This is what insane people actually believe.
————————–
So my parakeet doesn't look too good, mom says he's molting(well actually she said 'shmolting' lol) but he's 7 years old which is around the average for parakeets. 2009 has been such a shit year might as well add another nail to the coffins.

so I guess that to be sane, I should:
- talk about shallow bullshit.
- obsess about how I look.
- get pissed off about the smallest things.
- just sit down and watch TV all day. Especially American Idol and Fox News.
- just say yes and agree to everything government does. Speaking out is insanity. I should just be politically correct.
- just take my poison… er… vaccine…
- just drink my fluoride.
- stop eating organic food and just eat all the fastfood
- stop even thinking about how the world works. All that matters is whats on TV. Sports, entertainment, trying to look cool and tough and how to get laid is all that matters.
- just think about me, me, me, and me. The world revolves around me. I shouldn't care about 50 million aborted babies and millions of Iraqis, Palestinians, etc being made into target practice.
- Because the world revolves around me, even my own family shouldn't matter. Why should I care if a good number of them are alot poorer than me? I shouldn't call, I shouldn't visit, I shouldn't give a single cent. All that matters is the hypnosis mach… errr… TV.
Yes. That's sanity.
So, I went ahead and installed "Call of Duty: World at War" after getting all the patches. The final price for me buying the limited edition was $25, so I figured it would be worth it.
The game runs absolutely fine without any issues. My problem with the game is that the sound is just terrible. It's like they made the game for 5.1 and you can't change it (like on a DVD). Sure the music is there and the voices are clear, but any kind of explosions, noises in the background/foreground, and the guns are just…meh.
Honestly, it's like they are suggesting that people in World War 2 used pop guns. No matter what weapon you use, it's like you're firing off a cap gun or a pop gun and not a full auto mobile MG42 or sniper rifle.
The screen shakes CONSTANTLY during single player which makes me simulation sick to hell. I'm only getting through the SP so I can play multiplayer better…I always do it this way.
With all the problems of the game I read online and my personal experience, I won't personally ever buy a Treyarch game again, especially if this is how they make their games.
Join the army or something if you think the skill to take someones life away is something to brag about.Who said anything about bragging? You didn't pay attention to what was going on in the posts.
Also, I served in the Army.
Who said anything about bragging? Also, I served in the Army.Read the lower page parts
so I guess that to be sane, I should:That's pretty pretentious if you think that's what everyone who's not you does, and anything in large amounts is bound to be unhealthy for your mind(as in watching too much TV and obsessing about vaccines). If you really are surrounded by people like that and it's not just a shallow fabrication you've coaxed up of 'society' from reading conspiracy websites, then i feel damn sorry for you.
- talk about shallow bullshit.

Yes. That's sanity.
Also when i said 'this is what insane people actually believe' it is really, many legitimately insane people believe they're the sane ones and everyone else is crazy.
But…that requires reading before something which is me… :kitty:Who said anything about bragging? Also, I served in the Army.Read the lower page parts
so I guess that to be sane, I should:Shallow bullshit is great to talk about every so often.
- talk about shallow bullshit.
- obsess about how I look.
- get pissed off about the smallest things.
Hey, if you think that looking and smelling like ass is fine, good for you…but don't expect a lot of people to think you're "so perfect".
Sometimes you have to get pissed off about the smallest things or the biggest things wont' get changed through a chain reaction.
- just sit down and watch TV all day. Especially American Idol and Fox News.American Idol is entertaining, but if you somehow find a way to watch it all day, you've got problems. Fox News gives you news and not political bullshit like CNN or th New York Times which has admitted to be being liberally biased.
- just say yes and agree to everything government does. Speaking out is insanity. I should just be politically correct.
Speaking out when you have the facts and can do so intelligently is one thing, but ranting off about conspiracy theories and half assed ideas is another. Only morons are politically correct.
- just take my poison… er… vaccine…HAHAHAHAHAH! If you think vaccines are poison, go to a third world country and witness how bad diseases you are immune from are there.
- just drink my fluoride.
- stop eating organic food and just eat all the fastfood
There is a natural amount of fluoride in drinking water around the world and was only removed through the filtration process, so it's put back. Your body needs a certain amount of fluoride in order to protect teeth and bone. Or do you think that iron in your body is bad because too much can lead to gout?
There is no NUTRITIONAL benefit from organic foods, but that doesn't mean there isn't a HEALTH benefit from organic foods.
- stop even thinking about how the world works. All that matters is whats on TV. Sports, entertainment, trying to look cool and tough and how to get laid is all that matters.You aren't thinking about how the world works, you're thinking of things which don't exist and demanding someone believe you.
If you don't look and act tough, you'll be walked on because you are weak. Getting laid does matter. Sports are fun, but morons ruin the fun when they act like they have some real investment in the team or a specific player.
- just think about me, me, me, and me. The world revolves around me. I shouldn't care about 50 million aborted babies and millions of Iraqis, Palestinians, etc being made into target practice.You do have to think about yourself or else you won't get anywhere, won't get anything done, and will be a wart on the ass of society.
Those 50 million are already dead. Maybe you should think of how to help prevent future incidences?
Maybe if those "millions of" Iraqies, Palestinians, etc weren't being erratic assholes by following a religion and leaders which specifically tells you to kill people because a God needs humans to reclaim the Earth (if God created it all and it's his land…why do humans need to reclaim it???????) and killing people simply for not being of their faith, they wouldn't be made into targets, now would they?
- Because the world revolves around me, even my own family shouldn't matter. Why should I care if a good number of them are alot poorer than me? I shouldn't call, I shouldn't visit, I shouldn't give a single cent. All that matters is the hypnosis mach… errr… TV.Because you were smart enough to get a good education and work hard to get where you are. Caring, sympathy, not caring, and empathy are all different things. You can care that members of your family aren't doing as well as you, but it's also not your job to make sure they have all the nice things you do, unless it's your immediate family. My cousin just had his pancreas removed and ended up with internal bleeding after the surgery. Do I care? Yes. But I'm not going to throw all of my money and assets at him in order to help out.
I'm an organ donor, so yes, I care, but I'm not ripping out kidneys in order to help right now. I also donate blood when I can because one day I may need it.
Don't give money to the organizations asking for help for overseas because we need to help here and they don't care about our own nation. They aren't helping those people, they are forcing more hardship on them. Those places are already disease filled, famished, and over populated to begin with. Time to start doing something good for those places instead of forcing a more "healthy" populace on them.
Considering the only programs I watch are Mythbusters, the Adult Swim line-up (not even all of it), Future Weapons, and Ghosthunters, you can hardly call the TV a "hypnosis machine".
Yes. That's sanityYou have some MAJOR psychological issues and I suggest you see someone about it. They will probably help you out and you'll be embarrassed with how you used to act and believe.
There's a difference between "following the masses" and being psychologically healthy.
If my GPA is marred by film criticism, it will be inexcusable. So I'm gonna write an essay so fantastic, the mere act of looking upon it will cause the reader's eyes to explode in such a configuration that the resulting splatter will make a giant A+ on the front page.
But seriously, I'm gonna have to do pretty well on the final assignment. It's stressful. D:
I'm not insane, It's every else that's insane.

no,Kyopol.do you realize how you present your arguments though? you say something like "all cops are evil" or "get the vaccine out of your body" and leave, you dont support your case on these clearly controversial statements, and then get pissed that people say yer a crockpot, and accuse us of shallow shit becuase we said such hurtful things about you. you say something,making it sound like you're trying to help and maby you are, but when someone says something against it, you dont try to enlighten, which is what someone with good intentions would try to do, but you get pissed at us. which yes, it's only natural to get offended with what some of the things people say on here, but you have to present yerself better, for example, that cop thing, my great uncle was a sherriff, a great one,my cousin was also a law enforcer, and he'd done good things. and when you say naive things like "all cops are bad" i know right away that's not true, and with the vaccines, i presented a point to you, and instead of explaining your side of things, you went on to accuse me and other people who werent totally beleiveing that of all being shallow, naive, and uneducated. i also noticed how after the cop thing, you came to my comic, which you dont visit often AT ALL, the splash page with General Warhead bursting through the wall, no one said anything about sharks having bones, and you stopped by to say "the shark doesn't have bones. It only has cartilage. Cartilage is not a bone." which led me to think you were being petty. if you had just misunderstood something, then that's different. but it made me loose respect for you.
now Kyopol,i aint saying people should blindly follow the government, i've signed my share of petitions, and written to plenty of governers and senators. i got the feeling you can be alot smarter then we think you are, and like i said, it's in presenting yourself. think about it a little bit. loose this, "it's us against them" attitude towards us, becuase people who dont understand yer cuase, you dont just start mouthin off to em, you deligate, be diplomatic. try to understand where they're commin from and work from there. you'll see it helps you alot.
We encountered a sizable and old snapping turtle on the school property today after a rainstorm. First time I've seen one, he vastly outsized the local racing box turtle (I never knew they ran so fast!)
Well, we left the old boy alone until I found Grounds had shown up with a large mower. I decided to check on my shelled friend and make sure the Grounds guy knew of him.
Turns out, I arrived just in time! The mower thought he was a rock at a distance (this same numb nuts smashed an entire metal bench soon after) and was coming up on him when I stopped the guy. We all had a good laugh and marveled at the old and rather fat turtle.
So my boss and I came up with the idea to move him onto the nearby playground so Grounds could finish without much worry of hitting the creature… I feel certain that large scale mower would've been screwed nailing that turtle, it was BIG. You could see the animal attacks all over the shell.
Anyway, I got a push broom and a snow shovel (I like my hands, afterall, I still use them to hold all my stuff, go figure) and we moved the old boy onto the shovel so I could swing him over. Gawds, he was ornery! He had these long thick digging claws so he was than inclined to be pushed anywhere and he snapped hard down on the broom, fighting with my boss. Eventually, we got him on the shovel and thus to safety, but damn, if he wasn't bizarrely heavy for his size. Felt like I was lifting a medicine ball with the implement.
