Sick and tired of fighting AAA for a refund (after they left my wife and kid stranded in the snow, being unreachable for 40 minutes when I tried to get a hold of them to even let them know of the situation!). They have been giving me the false-apology run around for over a month now. My advice, if you are thinking of joining them, don't.

Damn it, I've just seen a massive spoiler to Sons of Anarchy on amazon. I've left it a bit long to catch up, I know, but it's still a bummer when they spoil stuff on season descriptions.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

I hear you, man. Do what I did and use your PC to make one with Micro$oft Word! It looks awesome!

Gotta go, these french fries don't make themselves, you know.

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

It's weird to me to hear people refer to university as school (in the UK, school, college and university are discussed as seperate entities).

Maybe, if Charlie Brown had attitude and was just as ineffective.

Gust Hubb (the character) might actually be exactly that.

yesterday was my birthday and it mostly sucked.

First i was working, secondly my wife had an exame so i saw her for a grand total of an hour last night, then my sister in law was meant ot be a model for her exam and my bro in law was to look after my neices, But NOOOOOO he goes and fucks up and get a bloody arctic lorry 'stuck' (yea right) so he wont be home in time for it, so guess who has to look after them? Yea thats right me!!

Dont get me wrong i wasnt plannign on doing much with my evening, maybe play some xbox or watch The Hobbit but i couldnt even do that. to piss me off even more my wife effectively does an 80 mile round trip to get them all and then drop them back off and guess what my bro in law gets home convieniently just after my wife has dropped them off.

On a plus though i got an adorable card from my son some nice new clothes and a Lego Double Decker couch (see lego movie if you dont know what it is).

Oh and i now have a rediculously busy wek at work with working until 9 tonight then late finishes until the end of the week so im a little grumpy.

Sorry needed the rant.

My contract at work is coming to an end in 4 days. I'm having serious second thoughts about prolinging it. So does, I think, my employer. I don't think staying in a toxic work environment like this would be healthy. I'm starting to feel how the work "ethic" here is starting to take root in my own behaviour. Everyone seems to be entirely focused on deflecting responsibility away from themselves instead of taking steps to improve the process, and fuck me - I'm starting to do the same thing. I've lost hope that things can get better. Between wilful blindness, avoiding decisionmaking and arbitrary outbursts, everything stays the same. More, things are about to get worse, I think.

I'm about to come to some money soon, I'm considering using that cushion to try and turn my professional life around.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Fucking sinuses.

Cough turned sneeze turned projectile vomit.

At least I decided to go with chicken noodle soup instead of mini ravioli. That would have made cleaning the keyboard and monitor so much more fun.

While it's not really messing with my groove, I couldn't put this in any other thread.
It's kind of obscene though.
