Dan Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I have to head over to my mother's after work tonight and engage in pitched battle with the snowblower. The thing is a cheap pile of shit and yet she refuses to even consider replacing it. Instead, I get to fiddle with it while my mother hovers over my shoulder offering all kinds of helpful advice and keen observations. It finally became all but useless last year when the handle bent during a really bad storm last winter. However, I am still expected to magic this thing into usefulness. I am incredibly not looking forward to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I used the shovel last night and when I had finished, there was already three centimetres (little more than an inch to you yanks) where I started. I bought whiskey today. That should help. Snow Days suck. I just finished a shit-ton of paperwork to make way for a shit-ton to come after Xmas break. I'm not going to take any marking home because I want the first third of my novel completed by February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DCAUFan1051 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 OK Disclaimeer: There will be alot of cursing in caps before I go into the real rant. GODDAMNIT GODDAMNIT SONOFABITCH FUCKING STUPID EMPLOYERS!!!!!!!!! OK now to the rant: I had my second meeting with my bosses this morning at my apartment. The point of having it where I live is because I waned to show them my living situation and the fact that living in the same place that you work is very stressful. The offer that they are giving me is a free apt in another complex this apartment is 2x smaller then the one I have now. And there';s no salary. So basically I have until February 1st to get everything packed and moved. Because I'm not even considering that offer at all. Think of me as Joe Torreee being pissed at what the Yankees offered. So I'm pissed, depressed, and everything.... Thank god for these forums at least I can keep some sort of sanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Mother Fu**er! I just blew out a G*dda*n candle and sprayed f*cking wax all over my face. :grumble: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 How did that happen? Unless you blew directly downward, splashing the wet wax pooled at the top upward, I can't see how that works. You should be okay, though. Doesn't wax cool almost instantly?

elnino14 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Sometimes I feel like my problems pale in comparison to others. And I promised that I'd never pull this again, but here I am bitching to a forum. But anyways, I feel like shit. The short of it, the girl I've been dating for 4 months says she's unhappy and needs to take a break from me. I'm not even sure what that means outside of "I need some space." I feel liked I've fucked up pretty bad and I could have prevented things. I feel like my family's actions are driving one of the better things in my life away. I really like this woman. It just really sucks because I was really excited to spend more time with her during the holidays since I won't be working that hard on my master program material...but now I'll probably be spending much of it alone. I'm not exactly sure what to do... On a lighter note my friend of 20 years is getting his B.A. degree tomorrow, I'm very proud of him.

Chops Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 fuck, the next year and a half is going to wear me the fuck out. 8 months in Iraq, home in America for only 4-5 months, then straight to Afganistan for 8-10 months.

Chops Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 thanks, the funny thing is i want to go to Afganistan, shit's hot over there, and i live for that stuff. I was just hoping for more down time in between. Plus I really don't want to go back to Iraq, it's boring there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Fuck snow. Fuck snow right in the ass. I have spent the past eight hours either shoveling or waiting to shovel. Ow, my back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I'm looking forward to the four hour drive home tommorrow, sans windshield wipers. In the likely snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Be safe, peoples. I get to go to work at 8 in the morning and sit in a heated shack in the middle of nowhere for eight and a half hours tomorrow and Sunday. At least it's pay... Oh, and it's supposed to snow even more. And it's already up to my thighs out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 See, then I lose my high-paying job (I get something like $10 an hour, when all's said and done). And my access to alcohol out here is lacking. Which sucks. Because it would be appreciated. So much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yeah, it's a good thing that you don't have any 21 year old friends or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yes, but you're two, soon to be fourish hours away from me. And other people in the area aren't 21 till after Christmas. Or are not back yet. As such, GODDAMNIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
