Today, my supervisor was telling me about plans to cut back on full time employees... I hear this same story every year. I really don't give a damn any longer. Not to mention they just hired someone. How can you guys be hiring and complaining about too many people on the job? Like really I can't wait to leave when I'm ready.
I read a post last Get paid to rant post and someone was complaining about an employment he did like too. Great rant you've got.
Did you join the rant?
Fuck corporate jobs! My wife has been trapped and ensnared by some rich, greedy llama fuckers who have done nothing but cut pay and multiply work. These jackshits think that by giving some ineffective, "health coverage" that she STILL pays for in the long run is a better deal than that raise she has been deserving and asking about for the last four fucking years!!!!!! She is depressed, overworked, and stressed. These suited airbag sacks of vomit couldn't give two fucks. FUCK YOU CORPORATE SHIT EATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BAHAHAHAH suited airbag sacks of vomit. You made my day.
Wow, @jgvinstl, you are really pissed. Very rough rant.
FML - 2 years and $24k wasted for a fucking associates degree and I end up making less money than when I was a dumb carpenter -
every fucking job posting or interview wants some fucking 20yr old with a BS and 20 years experience -
Half the little bastards I've seen end up getting jobs I interviewed for can't even pick their fucking nose...
It is cold. Life is short. My money is all spent. I have no pets. Me feet hurt.
Life is too damn short and why do we get wise too late?
I will not get wise.
If you say so
Today I want to rant about the fact that I poured bowl of cereal i was really looking forward too only to find that someone drank all the milk and put an empty jug back in the fridge. Who does that!?!?!? Morning ruined.
So Dave & Buster's (a big arcade/restaurant/bar chain in the U.S.) recently sent me an e-mail asking me to take a survey to look at one of their proposed new concepts. The concept: a food truck in the middle of the arcade.
Hmm... there's a crowded arcade with games that are behind on their maintenance (malfunctioning parts, usually buttons or pads), little kids running wild, and the best idea the folks at corporate HQ could come up with was to add a food truck to the middle of all this to try to increase F&B revenue? And indoors at that as well?
There's just so much wrong with the idea...
I don't go to an arcade to eat, and I don't think there are too many arcade-goers who do either. There's a reason why the arcade and dining areas are separate. If I wanted to eat I'd just head over to the restaurant section.
Food truck in the middle of the arcade means more food crumbs and debris scattered over the machines and the floor, more spilled liquids, and a messier place overall. That means higher costs (in time and money) to maintain the place. Are those costs going to then get passed down to the arcade players in the form of more expensive games? No thanks.
What's the over/under on how long until a negligent parent files a lawsuit because their unsupervised little jerk ran around like crazy and rammed into the food truck headfirst?
I could keep on going but I don't want to wear myself out. The idea of a food truck in the middle of the arcade certainly doesn't get any thumbs up from me, and I think offering two thumbs down is still being too generous. Nope, my rating for this "concept" is...
two middle fingers up!
(And what the hell were the concept's creators smoking at the time they thought of this horrendous idea?)
Over the weekend, my local metaphysical shop had a psychic fair. That means steep discounts on tarot readings from one of my favorite readers. As soon as I find out he's available, I hop in my car, bundle my huge preggo butt up (damn...coat won't zip over belly, that's ok turn car heat on full blast, I can do this) and drive on over.
Here's the short version - I'll do a longer one on my blog:
After pre-paying for my reading, and doing a raffle while I wait (about $50 in total, before tip), the shop owner refuses to let me use the bathroom despite the fact that I’m eight months pregnant, a fairly regular customer, and look like I’m smuggling bowling balls under my shirt. It was a true emergency too.
She just looks at me, and shakes her head and says in a cunty tone: Sorry, if I let you use it, I'll have to let everyone else use it too. (Like every patron in the store is suddenly going to rush up to her, insisting that they too should be able to use the bathroom if the pregnant woman got to…)![]
Mind you - I'm waiting in the shop for the reading I just paid for. I've already been waiting 20 minutes at this point...
In the past, the co-owner (guy I was about to see for my reading) and other employees have allowed me to use it in far less urgent situations.
It had just snowed, was extremely cold, and sidewalks were extra slippery – but it was either pee on their floor, or waddle up the half a block to use a public restroom in the pharmacy plaza. I so graciously chose the latter.
Who the fuck does that to a paying customer -never mind a pregnant one (on a 22 degree farenheit day). They also claim to be all about supporting women - like are you fucking kidding me? Turkey jowled clairvoyant C*NT - at least lie and tell me your bathroom doesn't work. Don't look me in the eye, after I've given you my money and tell me I can't use a bathroom because in your demented world people have a fetish for using public restrooms or something. Blessed be my ass.
I went online, to check up on movies, and heard so much about inception. I then went and got the movie, and it turned out to be my worst decision of the year.
Inception was nothing but a big gimmick. I will admit that there were times during the movie where I was entertained, involved, interested and intrigued. Without trying to sound like an elitist though, that is not enough to make me appreciate a movie. Like, if I eat a crappy candy bar, just it being "sweet" and "chocolatey" is not enough for me to rave about Hershey's, and I would especially be disappointed if this particular candy bar was being hyped as one of the most delicious, ground-breaking candy bars of all time.
I laughed out loud frequently during the movie because it is just so over-the-top. It's just funny to me now what big-time film directors can get away with these days and not be called out by the audience for just making up ridiculous shit, because they are untouchable: I loved how Leo's character took like three global trips at the beginning of the movie just because. Like, oh, I need to go find a chemist, so that means we need to have a big expensive on-location scene in Africa. Oh, ok, this part is a dream, so let's go to Paris now for no reason. You know, because it's a big Hollywood blockbuster and we have a huge budget so why not. People love watching that kind of stuff, right?
"Oh, yeah, this guy is a master chemist, obviously. Just look at all the bottles he is surrounded by in his dingy bar. Yeah, this guy is obviously the expert we need for the job. Wow, he even specially made a chemical so it doesn't confuse your inner ear balance. How convenient for the plot."
I'm convinced the whole screenplay was written backwards. Not "Memento" backwards, but "I want the movie to be a mind-bender thriller a-la the Matrix so I'm just going to make a bunch of stuff up first, and then work backwards to tie everything together and have it all make sense, kind of."
Speaking of the Matrix, this movie was The Matrix: 4. Did anyone else realize how similar it is? And the fact that Christopher Nolan spent "nine years" writing it doesn't impress me in the least bit. Look at the time frame. Nine years ago he watched The Matrix and thought "I want to make a movie like that. Computer simulations? No, 'dreams.' Agents? No, 'projections.'" So he whipped up some hack script that just collected dust in his basement for nine years or so until he had made the Batman movies and got enough funding to make this.
I thought the script was terrible. I thought all the characters were absolutely boring stereotypes. None of them were original or interesting in the least bit. Everything was just thrown at you in the most forced way. Nothing seemed like it was developing naturally. Everything served the plot in such a direct way.
I think this movie is just a disgrace to Hollywood, and the director needs to be sued.
Have to go to school next week and that sucks! Kind of nervous about how I'm going to keep my grades up and fix my study habits. I want to get a job on campus too, but I'm not too sure about how to go about it. Apprehensive of how it might affect my study time and level of tiredness. I hope I can do better now that I'm taking a less rigorous course load this quarter. I hope that I will make closer contact with more people than I did in my past classes!
I know that feeling of having to go to school, I hate it so much too. Nice rant.
What the freak is it with all you guys and new year resolutions
I really don't understand the idea of New Year's resolutions. Hearing that phrase alone makes me mad. Why does the start of a new year mean you have to lose weight or join a gym etc? What's wrong with starting this on any of the other freaking 364 days of the year?
People obviously think that a new year means a new start. It's a ridiculous and very stupid notion, if you couldn't be bothered to do it a few days, weeks, months ago, why will the start of a new year change anything? Just so dumb.
It's not like you've turned a page in a book because it's a new year, life is continuous, constant, you're still the same person!
Change doesn't have a start date, it happens anytime and anyplace. A new year signifies just that, a new year.
Think about it. And be honest. What resolution have you made in, say, the last five years that you’ve actually seen all the way through?
If you’re anything like me, you’re stuttering, trying to come up with one. Because the resolutions we make for ourselves are all wrong. They are large and lofty – usually things like losing a ton of weight, working out an obscene amount each week, or learning a foreign language when we have zero time to study.
There’s little chance we can keep resolutions like these. We may have the best of intentions until life gets in the way – which it always does. And when we break that resolution less than a week into January, we start the new year with failure. This is why I hate making New Year’s resolutions. Being a failure is the pits. But I set myself up for it, year after year.
Not this year. This year I’m being real.
That’s my first resolution. I’m choosing to achieve progress, rather than perfection – like cutting back on diet soda, adding five minutes to my work-out on weekends alone, and each week calling a friend with whom I haven’t talked in too long a time. I can do these things. They’re totally attainable, and they make me a better person.
My full bowl of oatmeal is EMPTY!
Does this count?!
very crazy when we bought it wrong and at this time the crypto currency looks very like garbage !!!
I don't understand this fucking situation.
when I was in dire need of money there I also get bad things earnings not in pay during the moon as a result of the fool system and it makes me stressed and think hard how I can make money, plus no one human can provide the rock I really need ..
thank you for providing a place to expose a sense of annoyance that burdens in me I really appreciate it ..
Yeei. 😊😊😊Thank you so much. So Well appreciated. I have received the SBD. A big thanks to all the contestants also, cause without them this would not have been possible. Thank you @steemitbc am so happy.
Congratulations! Have another rant? 😉
Woow. Good post you fren
I hate it when people say we girls are rude to guys. Let me share some incidents with you :
A guy expressed his interest in me, I declined. He pursued, kept asking, for years now. I can't help but keep saying No, No and no. I hate to be rude, but I have my threshold.
Another fellow emotionally blackmails me, asking me to come out of my hostel at 12 in the night, and that he will wait outside the hostel the whole night, till he catches my glimpse the next morning. And he did. It is creepy. Creepier when he offered to buy me a Samsung Galaxy S8, if I went out with him/met him. What do you even reply to that? How can I be not rude to this guy?
A guy proposed me with a ring. I declined, he pesters me to keep his ring, to take an apology and hear out his reasons. What reasons? That he simply woke up one morning, and by accident, proposed me, with a ring. Now he is constantly calling at home, even after repeatedly ignoring his calls, and ignoring him in the classroom, this is disturbing. Add the gazes and eavesdropping my telephonic conversation, how can I not be rude?
This just gets me mad.
I hate it when women are applying makeup in a bathroom when I need to take a shit, and they're always in there for hours. the whole time i'm trying to take a shit they're applying all 8 layers of makeup. why would you want to apply your makeup in such a shitty (literally) place. There are other, more private bathrooms in this building. I come here to shit because it's anonymous and in a smelly basement and some 'lady' is in there applying 12 layers of eyeshadow. It's so annoying
Am totally bitter about my first year university professor.
I am nearly finished my University degree. I was reflecting and unfortunately remembered a horrific time in my first year at the school. I had the professor from HELL. Not only did he frequently write on the CHALKBOARD with SHARPIE and somehow “not know that it wasn’t compatible”, he was/is a complete dung heap.
One of the first days in his class in a 1st year geography elective..
“I hope my children never end up like anyone in this class”.
Another time I was unsure of how to do the assigned homework. I emailed him once I got home and mentioned that I had talked to the person who sat next to me and that she also wouldn’t mind some clarification. I worded this politely the same as I had ever emailed other professors if I ever needed help. This was never an issue in the past..
Skip to the next weeks class and he had still not responded to my email. I got to class and he was pacing back and fourth, clearly distraught. He got us to quiet down and then started yelling about how someone in this class was “talking about him behind his back”. He yelled and stomped his feet like a child (He was a big guy) and said to never do that again to make fun of him. He brought up my email and I just stared in disbelief. It was the most nonsensical thing I had ever experienced. I was put on the spot, yelled at, and all over something that nobody in their right mind would have found offensive. And in case you’re wondering, no. I never got any help on how to do the homework..
He was a geography prof from Uganda and was an asshole. Had no idea how to teach or mark work. We had 8-10 page papers we did (first year course, mind you) and he handed everyone’s back with a mark under 10%. Nobody knew what was going on or why. He left nobody any feedback on their paper except for a percentage. Mine was 3%. I wrote a complaint and left the class immediately. That was the LAST STRAW.
After dropping out of the course, the University contacted me and apologized for what happened. Apparently he was talked to and they offered me the class back. I firmly declined unless they had a different prof to teach the course. They never responded.
After that semester I never saw him on campus again. Worst. Class. Ever.
With respect to all the latest news and scandals going on in Hollywood, am wondering why this should be our concern.
I mean I'm not a celebrity, I'm not a Hollywood exec abusing my power, I'm just an everyday guy doing my job and trying to live a decent life, this is not my mess, it's yours, it's not time that "we" stand up for corruption in Hollywood, it's time that "you" do that, like Indont understand why you expect/demand we applaud you for fixing our own damn mess, I mean do you really really want me to believe that a person like Meryl Streep had no idea how big of a pervert Harvey Weinstein is ? And the way she and Emma Watson were flaunting those women (I don't remember their names) they brought with them to the globes, it made me feel disgusted, it felt like Meryl and Watson expected some sort of reward or treat for knowing an actual feminist or activist.
This is hollywoods problem, it's thei job to solve it, don't try to drag us into it, I mean shit if all the largest stars in hollywoods were such true die hard believers in ending this sort of abuse, they wouldn't need our help, they wouldn't need us average people's donations to their cause because they are all in the freaking 1%, they are literally richer than the rest of us combined. I guess all I'm saying is don't you try to pin your own shortcomings or problems on us nor make us carry the burden of solving them, we have enough shit to deal with in our lives already. And stop being so god damn pretentious ffs, nobody is buying it, and the whole holier than thou attitude just makes us hate you more and believe you less.
I don't know why my aunt always asks me if am pregnant.
Every time I ask about the doctors, she asks “why? are you pregnant?” NO, I’M NOT IRRESPONSIBLE. I’m only 20!!!
She should know by now how pissed I get when she asks me that. But nooooo, she doesn’t listen or freaking learn at all.
How many times will it take for you to understand that I don’t like being asked that? I don’t give a hoof if you think I’m too serious or sensitive, just because your other daughter is okay with all that stuff doesn’t mean I’m gonna react the same.
I haven’t slept in 24 hours. I’m still slightly dizzy. I’m exhausted. I tried sleeping on the floor of the airport for awhile before I gave up. I probably smell a little. I just want to brood in peace and quiet
But then, the restaurant next to my gate is blasting out 80s pop hits. The stupid restaurant is closed and it’s 4:15 in the morning. So you can go ahead and charge us more for running up your damn utility bill for the two people at our gate. It's just so crazy, I pray I don't do something stupid to that place.
When you meet me it appears that I have at least a few friends but the truth is I feel like I don't. I'm always the happy person reaching out to other people and I am tired of it. None of my friends really give a shit about me we just exchange trite platitudes. Weeks go by and no one reaches out if I don't. I'm also tired of the surface relationships I have. I wish I knew someone who I could just put down my facade with and just say I'm really not happy right now. It's a very hard time for me. I just wish I had some real friends. I don't do weird shit, I don't do drugs, I'm not judgmental, I'm kind...idk...I know the world doesn't owe me a damn thing and I'm grateful to even be able to be in good enough health to even wish I had friends. I have had some health issues that caused me to isolate for a large part of my young adult life. I need new friends but when you're 27 and in grad school it can be difficult. I AM NOT SUICIDAL but I completely understand how people can kill themselves and all of their friends/family feel like they didn't see it coming. People get so caught up in living their own lives that they often can't see whats actually going on with others. The point is if you're reading this you should reach out to your friends and really ask them how they're doing. You really never know even the one's who always seem super happy and positive. I know my "friends" aren't on here so it's not about me it's just about possibly helping someone else who could feel like me but maybe they actually are suicidal.
Oh man, this has been eating at me for years and I think I'll explode if I don't let it go.
In the country I live in, 95% (I am not kidding, very serious) of the population has bribed to get their driver's license when they turn 18, the examiners also go out of their way to purposefully fail you no matter how well you drive. I stupidly failed my drivers test when i was 18 because the guy just failed me for and I quote "Not openning the door with the correct hand". I don't tell this to people because they know me as an amazing driver compared to my experience, I say "I didn't have the time", which was partially true as you'll see soon. Because of this and some other factors, many drivers here are idiots, complete morons. No situational awareness, road rage all the time, speed and show off in crap cars, can't park, think they own the road, tint their windows to 100% cuz fuck visibility. The list goes on. Jaimie Lannister could count on his one hand how many drivers I've seen who came even remotely close to the skill of my dad whos been driving for nearly 40 years and has shown that skill multiple times in saving our lives from idiots on the road.
I don't like the meme that women and girls are bad drivers, because it isn't true. My country though, is an exception to that meme. NONE of the girls that drive can drive well at all. You can almost always tell which car is being driven by a girl. I think it may be the strong gender roles here, but still, I wish they got a bit more confident and trained more. All the girls have their licenses and cars bought for them when they turn 18 by Daddy and it's always a fucking right hand drive car in a country where the roads are right side!!!! Why? Cuz the right hand version is cheaper lol.
So since my dad refused to bribe (literally a $400 bribe, not even much by bribe standards) because he wouldn't give in to the mentality being from the US, and me preparing for my Medical school entrance exams, I didn't have the time to go back and try again. Doesn't help that there is only one DMV in the entire city and it's ON THE FUCKING OUTSKIRTS! So I finally got my license 3 months ago... when I was 20. And I did it all legally, the examiner made me drive around the course 7 times when by law it's supposed to be only 1 time trying to find anything minute to fail me, but no lol. When everyone else was playing around and buying their way to their licenses, I EARNED it through years of hard work and training.
Honestly, I consider myself better than everyone else by default for doing so and I already am a MUCH better driver than most here according to my dad who is always honest in evaluating me. His opinion is all I need, he's the best and most experienced I know so if he says it then IDGAF what anyone else says their arguments are invalid. I'm not one to be bitter about things, truly, but I missed out on 2 years of driving in the prime of my life while everyone else had their Daddies buy their license for them, quite a few of them even got a car of their own. Granted they're crap cars, but still having the freedom to drive anywhere you want without having to ask your family first to see if they're going anywhere, having to hear "Why don't you just go by the super cheap buses/taxis and avoid the headache of taking the car with you?", "Why don't you let your friend drive you around? She has her own car", "Do you seriously feel better and superior by picking your GF up in the car?". No and No and ABSOLUTELY! I'd rather never drink again on a night out and take the car everytime, I absolutely refuse for me and my GF to be driven around by our friend who's been driving for 3 months but drives like it's the first time she's in a car everytime because she had no prior training and bribed for her license, it has never been a headache for me to take the car, in fact I feel better and more comfortable, and yes I do feel more confident in myself and better when I pick her up in the car rather than a taxi.
This summer, I plan on making up for my lost 2 years AND then some, so they better start getting used to taxis and buses like I've had for all the years I've been here. Sorry for the wall of text, these have been my feelings for many years and I just needed to get them out.
Thanks for listening.
