The vent

oh wow, Andrea my sympathies! big hug

A visiting attorney from New York insisted that the U-Bahn from Lehel to Neuperlach Süd is only six stops, even after I had counted off eight on my fingers. Who lives here, buster, you or I?
EDIT: And why, why, why!!! does my co-worker sit here in a room facing west with her sunglasses pushed to the top of her head?

Fucking typical. Spend an hour and a half busting my balls in the gym surrounded by knackered grannies, and just as I am leaving 3 hot bits of eye candy walk in to work out. Sheesh.

Jeez, JE, life can be such a bitch sometimes, eh?
I filled up my car last night and left the f*cking gas cap on the roof of the car when I drove off. Stoopid.

Was the gas cap still on the roof when you got to where you were going?

No. Luckily a co-worker recovered it.

mmmmaaaaaggghhh Why do pansy panic monkeys feel they have to use more than one question/exclamation mark???!!!??? One will frigging do ffs! ODER?

Terry Pratchett (author), "Eric":

Thank God. Exactly what I need right now...a vent... or I may just explode and that would be messy.

ok...in a nutshell: fucking wanking piece of useless crap...idiot idiot idiot!!! What is so fucking hard about typing 2 words in an e-mail out of the most basic level of respect for another human being instead of just completely ignoring them!!! Really... very nice. Feeling bloody marvellous...big prick...correction, big would be too much of an exaggeration. Anyway, I don't know what I was thinking...would have received more emotion from a log...a very very old dead felled for firewood but forgotten and now rotting type of log.

Ahhh...now, that feels slightly better.

You have my sympathy - I know how that can feel.

Just had another typical day of management. You suspect that one of your team just does not like you or anything you do and will try and stir up as much shit behind the scenes as possible but you always hope it will not happen. Well, I spoke to my boss today (CEO of the company) who presented me with and anonymous "complaint" from one of my staff based around the employee appraisal form I introduced and used for all employee appraisals a couple of weeks ago. It was one of the most scathing attacks that I have ever encountered and just shows what a clueless little bitch she actually is. Not only were her attacks born of pure jealousy and without any fact whatsoever but she managed to fill it out in the way only she knows how and eliminates all other employees from any sort of suspicion. Jesus, I never thought someone could be that stupid. Funny thing is that we both "laughed' about it knowing full well that it will not affect the way I do my job.

It is always the shit-for-brains idiots that never consider whether they can hide behind their enonymity or not...

So, I will be looking for a new employee shortly...

Oh. And I am angry and drunk (US time, of course).

Would an XXL Microsoft t-shirt make you feel better? Isn't it only 1:30 where you live?

Anyway, onto my rant: I had to call France today. (no offence, honeebeaz). FRANCE- because a few of our employees are currently working in Toulouse and the "work inspector"- whoever he is- requires a form to be filled out by our company. IN FRENCH. It's a pain in the ass. It's a waste of my time. And I'm not answering the f-ing letter in French. So I sent an email to that effect: "Bonjour Monsieur Work Inspector! Please note that I have neither the time nor the resources to complete the attached form in any language other than English. Love, Jenny L".

Grrr. Anyway, so I had to call the "work inspector" who was not in the office, naturally, because it was after noon on Friday. So I got the switchboard who accused me of being stupid for expecting him to be able to help me. He then tranferred me to a woman who barely spoke English- but I thought we were understanding each other quite well. Until about 5 minutes into our conversation where I was explaining my problem about this stupid form and she asked me "So you live in Toulouse?" NO!!! I goddamn don't for the twentieth time.

I was going to take the train at 3.14pm to Munich, and now I check the schedule and there isn't actually one. The next direct train leaves at 5.14. Grrreat!

(I wonder why, too, maybe because it's Saturday, I think usually I go home on a weekday, so that's why I never noticed.

I won't be at my house until 9 now.

Also, I slept a total of 4.5 hrs last night and 4 the night before, and I am so tired... I wanna take a nap!

I want to punch the fucking stupid driver that had a crash yesterday and caused me to sit in a trafic jam for 2 hours.. making my parents wait 2 hours too...

I hope your car is beyond economical repair you useless cunt!

I feel knackered and I want some quick and easy junk food. Pizza, big burger, ribs, curry, chinese - anything quick, and cooked by somebody else. All of the aforementioned foodstuffs are however totally not available to me unless I walk to the bloody train station, and get the bloody train into bloody town. Bloody really.

Have you tried Wok Man?

Didn't they go out of business (or rather, relocated to Liechtenstein)...?

I went to the opticians on Pacellistr. While waiting in line, this crazy woman pushes me. Then she goes on grumbling that she doesnt want me in the store, etc. I go away to look to try some frames and she comes to me and continues to berate me. I inch my way to the cashier and ask for the police to be called. The cashier ignores me. No one else says a word till the stupid woman leaves the store. Suddenly they are all chatting about this awful woman. Unbelievable how much civil courage these people have. The staff claim that there was nothing that they could do.

Yet had you knocked the crap out of her they would have called the police on you. Gotta love it. This country needs more black women. One correctly placed slap would fix a lot of the attitudes.

@Lexicon,

After a few choice words in english, I did show her the door. But I was still upset in the end, not only at her but all the young, well-dressed clientele and the staff there.

okay, finally make a postive decision to reduce my carb intake, and what the fuck happens? I get a huge bag of Lindt easter choc yesterday and today from patients... what ever happened to flowers or money?

anybody want some chocolate (still have left overs from last year still in the freezer)

I'll help you out - but I'm at the other end of the country

Bring it to the Hash, Carm. You know we'll scarf it.

why don't people read their emails properly and stop asking the same questions?

crap crap crap, wait wait wait... I am almost paralyzed by all the waiting...How can a psycho be an HR-manager?

Last weekend I was supposed to go to Washington, but since the East Coast (especially around Washington) cannot deal with snow they kind of shut down the airport when it was raining since snow was supposed to come. Accordingly, my flight was canceled and we couldn't get on another one until Monday so we rescheduled to leave this Thurs and come back Sunday. Now I find out I have a group interview this Thursday for a Teaching/Masters program I'm trying to get into- grrr!!!
and seriously, they should give more than 2 days notice for the interview. I'm trying to arrange something else, but they're not cooperating!

Hey now, don't be lumping New Englanders (who know a few things about snow and how to deal with it) into the same group as those freaks down there in D.C. (or anywhere south of NYC, for that matter!)

I think my colleague has finally cottoned on that I don't listen to it, blanking the voice out and instinctively aha-ja-aha-ing on the occasions it pauses to inhale. You're fine as a human being but, please, occasionally, could you take a crash course in SHUTTING THE FUCK UP? I'm not interested in stuff that doesn't concern me directly, I need to work, ca-feckin'-pice? Good. Now get me another cup of coffee before I wedge your keyboard where God makes gravy*.

*_{Actually reading that back, I think I've had enough coffee already...}

Can all these FUCKWITS please stop threatening me with stuipid patent issues on products for which they have no fucking patent. Do they think I am completely stuipid?
(the question was rhetorical before you all rush to answer).

They must all be fucking smokers. Or ginger. Or ginger fucking smokers in kilts.

Well done ME.

I’m just a complete friggin weirdo, for 1, how can I feel that way. Why oh why. and if that isn't bad enough...then to try to pretend I don’t feel that way I am so dismissive and off hand and just don’t stop going on about him meeting someone else…like…you should go out for your party – a you might meet someone…oh you have to go to a wedding, weddings are great places to meet someone special. I should win an idiots prize for that or something. ;-((

Do I smell the whiff of unrequited love?

not a whiff...it's totally stinkin.

I smell the whiff of incoherence.

I smell a whiff of this-is-the-vent-no-chat-just-raw-emotion.

Just wanted to let off steam. It doesnt matter if anyone understands it or not. Thanks!

Hello my name is Eleanor Rigby and I am the President and founding member of the I Hate Owain Glyndwr Club!

Awww. Hope you feel better soon! And don't get too many applications for membership

Not likely!

That man had better hope he gets kidnapped by the chinese, mafia gangbangers because nothing they could do it him will compare to what's in store for him when he comes home.

I am sick, and am on antibiotics now for a week.

Just the usual, my boss is unadulterated effing ignoramus !

Nice... I bet he feels so much better for having that aired for all to see ER...

fuck, I cannot believe I got suckered into watching Germany's Top Model show! I fucking hate reality tv, and somehow, spent the evening watching that crap. (Yes, I know, I could have turned the tv off, but somehow, I got suckered).

Selbstschuld Or however the Erics say it.

I usually end up watching chick flick stuff and weeping like a wench and then worry why i watched it and how much of a big girl's blouse i am for getting into it

Lovely, all this sleep, and now I am up at 5am.

nahh, you not alone

The street in which my apartment is located is a one-way street. About 60% of the street's width is dedicated to cyclists and pedestrians ! and 40% to cars(including moving traffic and parked cars - So 20% each).

Despite such a generous assignment, the cyclists still like to cycle in the street(traffic zone). The more annoying thing is that when you drive into them they stare at you and probably curse you, as if they want the whole street area for their ride.

Sigh ...

weather sucks around here... I mean, come on, no snow during winter at all and now that we made it to spring ... all is white.
sucks.

alright i'll have a coffee.

Aaaaarggh!! Just returned from another fun and helpful encounter at the friendly Ausländerbehörde to find out (as per usual) that neither they nor the folks at the Arbeitsamt know what they're talking about. Fucking incompetent bureautwats. How any of them manage to walk, talk and breathe simultaneously without dropping dead will never cease to amaze me.

Am off to go bang my head against a wall now.

Damn (German) Bitch at the new apartment won't give me the keys on Easter when I have friends over who can help me move, just because I refused to buy over her used (maybe even soiled EWWWW!) bed! And other furniture at ridiculous "original" price, when she had used them for at least 2 years. ZICKE! (And Zicke works for Mercedes Benz too!)

f**king boss sneaked off to buy a ps3 this morning. now he's buggered off to get some practice in before everyone else is allowed a go. C**t.

I still hate the patronising, self serving pricks I work with. Just thought I'd mention it.
