I'm Angry

[Enetirnel]

Thanks for the offer Spambot! Lemme tell Darkmoon about this, I'm sure he'll be inter- NINJA BAN HAMMER!

Afraid not, I got it with a large shard of glass.

It's going to be pinned to the floor in the mod cave forever now.

Well wait a sec. Cheap Viagra comes once in a blue moon.

The only thing I can suggest there is the Random Act of Love method - buy her a present of some kind, something she likes, with a note saying 'because we all know you care' or the sort. Maybe cook dinner or some other chore she usually does (and you can do as well).

[Eoweniel]

Yeah exactly, doesn't look like there's much going on with that "investigation" as of yet, in fact I'm willing to bet people will forget it entirely in due time and it'll just be dropped. Regardless, it's not fun to walk around with a false accusation in your head all day, yeah :/

Thanks for the reply. My spirits have been a bit lifted atleast, from seeing that someone else agrees with me. Just wish I could share that spirit with mom

[Darkmoon]

Gotta love the 'guilty until proven innocent' system. On the plus side, it sounds like your mother doesn't have much to worry about. 12 years of solid service with a single person, suffering from dementia, making a complaint sounds it should be open and shut. He says one thing (possibly 'where is my noodle bath and naked woman?') she says her thing. Without any way to prove anything she shouldn't have even got yelled at by her boss. And if she had witnesses, could probably sue in this day and age where lawyers hunt in packs...

Still, I can only imagine it's really not nice for her to go through. Hopefully it'll be dealt with super fast.

I'm really angry about an incident that happened at mom's work. It's a long story so I'll boil it down.

Mom works as a nurse with old, demented people and she's been at the same place for 12 years now, roughly. She always goes the extra mile to help everyone as, in our culture (I'm originally from Serbia) we respect older people a lot. She even helps the elderly in ways she DOESN'T have to according to her job contract. So she was helping this old man out who normally is fine, but that night he had been unusually nervous (she works nights). Next morning she gets called to her boss' office and he is pissed off at her because apparently she had said something derogatory to the old man and "refused to change him" (which is Bullshit!). So it turns out that this old man somehow got into his head that she had said something mean to him, he had called his son, and his son is now outrageous and filed a complaint against her.

First of all, WHAT THE HELL. Your dad is DEMENTED you RETARD, you shouldn't blindly believe everything he says. Second of all, go FUCK yourself. My mom would never hurt a soul and she's one of the kindest, most ambitious people out there. She's been really depressed since this happened and I HATE to see her this way, especially since this whole ordeal was unjust. So now there's going to be an investigation into this, and she's just terrified that she'll get wrongfully accused and blacklisted or fired. This is just fucking bullshit. I'm angry that they'll even consider making a case out of this. If she hasn't said anything even remotely derogatory to anyone for 12 years, why the hell would she start now?
GRRRRRRRRRR!!

Thanks for the rant.

A few days ago my iphone got pick-pocketed from me outside my hotel
It´s all insured so it will be fine. Other then that I´m having a good time in Ecuador.

It sucks not having handy Wi Fi internet access. Upshot of this is that when I get to the USA in a couple of weeks I´ll probably buy a 3DS for it´s browser

Edit: And this is what happens when those brats become teenagers. Fuck this pisses me off to no end. =/

Is this actually real? Some of them just sound too bratty to be real.

Like the one from the dude upset because he got an iPad and a Camero...Seriously, you're upset that you got a sports car that a lot of people would gladly have?

And most of them whine about not having an iPhone; one girl even got what she wanted (an iPhone) and complained about the color. I know these kind of people are out there, but I just didn't think it was that many of them. I would probably slap my child across the face is it ever talked to me in that manner. That is just wrong.

[Inferno04]

Gamestop you are dissapoint. Dangling Haunting Ground right there in my face then telling me you don't have it after searching....Ahh well. Not mad really, no poin in getting upset. It was just would've roundedo ut a good buy 2 get 1 free deal, and I've been looking for a cheap copy of Haunting Ground for over a year. More upsetting were the spoiled brats running around. Remember when game stores weren't full of five year olds going 'GIMME GIMME' and sprawling out on the floor when they didn't get their way, and parents did more than apathetically stare off into space while giving into the child's demands? Yeah...(Hell that could be said for parenting in general these days. Oh there are some exceptions and people who raise their kids RIGHT. Still, but I've see this scenario FAR too much where I work.)

I pretty much had a breakdown at work and had to come home. I spoke with the manager, they were very understanding. See, I work long night shifts and have been for the past two weeks or so. But tonight I just felt emotionally drained, depressed, customers treating me like dirt. So I spoke to my manager and a guy I work with, both were really understanding. The guy I work with said he's been through the same thing, told me to take a couple of nights off, speak to my brother and come back in another night. It sounds sad to say this but I was literally on the verge of tears. I'll have a talk with my brother about it, he told me that my mum would be proud of me for working. I know it sounds like such a simple thing, but for me to be working it's a huge achievement. Like a major step in the right direction in my life. I'll most likely be back in Friday night, then Christmas eve.

The guy I worked with gave me a comforting hand on the shoulder, told me that three years ago when he started work there, he went through the exact same thing. He's a great guy. I don't have an aversion to work, I want to work, I enjoy working there and I don't want to let anyone down, just that night was rough for me.

I couldn't be anymore proud of you John, seems like you're doing a complete 180' in your life for a better tomorrow.

Epiphany much, wouldn't you say?

Sounds more of a depressed than angry post, no?

[GuardhouseMusic]

Glad to hear you got through that alright. There are definitely times when I'm tutoring and I'm not able to get through to my student that I get frustrated. I try to cheaply rationalize to myself that its their fault but I'm denying my impatience, really. Any workplace is a breeding ground for stress, but the trick is to see it as eustress.

Nonetheless, I'm glad you're working finally, it took me a while to get a steady part time job also. Feels good to pay for shit with your own money.

[Mr. Spencer]

I feel bad because I like my work mates, I don't want to let them down. All of them were supportive though, told me not to worry. But still, I want to work.

[Canas Renvall]

^ Don't feel bad about it, John! That's completely normal. Overnights can be very taxing. Glad you're able to just stay home and relax though! It'll be fine, don't worry!
