After filling in two New Hire forms by hand (with 4 carbon copies each) HR tells me sweetly, "Oh, we don't use them any more, we use the forms on the server". With all sorts of abbreviations intelligible to HR only ...
Well, they have to complete them, I'll just give them the personal info. Then I'll go sharpen some pencils and send them to headquarters so they can poke themselves in the eye.

Is there a "Family Life" Vent? If you don't have kids, feel free to skip this one.
My toddler is driving me MAD MAD MAD. I am trying very very hard to be patient, as I know she doesn't feel up to snuff. She has a cold. And maybe some little stomach bug too, based on three bm's in short order and a red butt, albeit not full-fledged diarhea. Three bm's within a couple of hours is a nightmare as she is so rebellious when I try to change her diaper. And she did NOT want to take a nap today. NOOO. NEIN!! NOOO. Shriek shriek shriek. Did I mention she woke me up at 4 am wanting to get up? I gave her some milk and told her it was still night-time... So I finally got her to nap around 2:30 --which means I can't take her to playgroup, so I don't get as much time to recover my sanity this afternoon. Ok, with the red butt I should probably keep her home anyway. But I PAY for playgroup whether she is there or not and I NEED the time, to pay attention to my new-born. She has been sleeping a lot today, but can I be grateful for that, nooooo...I am worried that she has the stomache bug too and also anticipating a hellish evening/night of her maybe being awake and fussing. I am operating on a severe sleep deficit between the baby's nighttime wakings and the toddler being up at 4am and at the moment I just have KEIN BOCK!!! Ok, I think the baby is waking up now. Must go rustle up my maternal instincts and coo at her as she has been ignored all day.

So I give up, call work and take the FUCKING DAY OFF because I'm FUCKING FREEZING to DEATH!!! My feet are NUMB, my face is FROST-BITTEN and then the FUCKING BUS won't even take me home because it's shift change, and the new drivers are stuck elsewhere.

My whole house smells like poo!!
A little while ago me and my neighbours had a sewarage explosion which covered our gardens and made the houses stink for days. THis all started with a smell which was reported and ignored. They are always out clearing the drains of the school opposite, so me and the neighbours think there is a longstanding problem with the drains near us because of the school.
Yesterday I got home and the house stunk, moreso, the utility room and downstairs loo. So I rang Welsh Water (sewarage dept) and explained the situation. The conversation went well until he said "ok, we will have someone out within 7 days to take a look". Are you fucking kidding. So I stayed calm and explained that surely under the cirumstances they could make it a bit quicker as wouldn't it be better and more cost effective to err on the side of caution and take a wee peek down the poop pipes then have an explosion and have to returf three gardens again and pay compensation for the inconvenience of people having crap in their gardens for 3 days! Answer: apparently NOT. Policy is a 7 day turn around for a smell unless the person he passes it on to deems it necessary for a faster action, and I'm not even allowed to speak to the person that does the deeming! FFS!!!
But I ain't giving up!!!

So, what, there are around 3 million police living in and around Munich? The city can spare a band of merry spelunkers to give 150 cavity searches at The Garden on a Saturday night, but they can't spare a couple of cops to direct traffic at the corner of Würmtalstr. and Saurbruchstr. when the traffic lights are ausser betrieb. Which is the greater public safety risk: a few club kids blissing out on ecstasy or several hundred cars trying to drive in contradictory directions in the same physical space?

Why is it in this land where customer is supposed to be king, a patient gets such inadequate service? On Saturday we get told to come on Monday at 8 a.m. for an EKG. We get to the hospital but it is such a maze that it is impossible to find the right department. One needs to know the lingo -- 'pre-op' and 'same-day-surgery' in order to even be able to ask for directions. Then in every department there is a form to fill out about allergies and prior illness etc; can't they put it into their computers?
They do have staff however to call the night before the surgery to say that they are making a 'courtesy' call. What they want is to make sure that the patient pays 699$ before surgery the next morning. Now I sure hope they operate the correct arm.

My coworker snapped at me today for no good reason whatsoever and if I weren't a pillar of composure and self-restraint

But in the end I decided to just walk away and secretly flip him off once I rounded the corner.

Stop staring at me! I mean seriously, STOP. I can feel your eyes boring into me, and I know you're dying for me to look up from my laptop and make eye contact with you, but I absolutely refuse. Why do you people feel the need to stare? I'm fully clothed, not even wearing anything sexy, my hair's held up by a pencil and I'm wearing earphones which slightly resemble hearing aids. WTF? Go back to work! Don't you have some fucking spreadsheets or something else to look at? No, coughing and hacking loudly is not going to get my attention either. Didn't you get the message when I pointedly ignored you at the cappucino machine earlier? Even though you dropped your spoon on the floor and subsequently bent over to fetch it and banged your head against my upper thigh? Did you think that was subtle? It wasn't. Just like staring isn't subtle. So stop. Please. Thank you.

Just got a call from a French woman to tell me that the room I booked in Marseille for Oct 5-8th is not available, after she called yesterday to tell me they needed a credit card to guarantee it

Aaargh. This is after I booked a room on places to stay.com in downtown marseille & then decided to check the hotel website as the name didn't sound familiar & lo & behold no hotels with that name on the accor website, I did a search & discovered it was in Avignon only a 100km away
