If you are male and from the UAE (specifically if you work at the UAE Consulate in Berlin) please stay the fuck away from me. I can not guarantee you will walk away with all your appendages intact.

knowone can do their job at the moment it would seem... damn student loans company not being able to read! is it my fault if they didn't 'read that section'! why should I suffer because their staff don't read the 'extra comments' box?!

My feckin rude, rude rude little sister. Such attitude, wish she'd bloody grow up and learn how to communicate without swearing, screaming and hanging up the phone like a 15yr old teenager. She isn't in puberty anymore!!! At least she shouldn't be!!! always the f****g same. She promises she'll clean up her f*****g mess and I've told her it's important because I have to sort that room as my new boyfriend is coming to stay...does she do it...NOOOOOOO...she sits in front of the bloody telly watching US sitcoms. Thanks. Now I only ask if she's done anything and I am screamed at and hung up on and told "it's not the only thing she has to do"...oh yeah, I forgot ...ABC doesn't watch itself. Not to mention the abusive texts. Well...now my mum calls who doesn't see why I am upset by my sisters behaviour and thinks its all me and I am also 'told off' by her for 'stressing' my sister. Of course..how could I So fed up. So so so so so angry I could just cry. Just booked an appointment at the hairdressers this evening. Sod going home.

Major rant here. Sorry for the naughty words, violent imagery and details that mean nothing to anyone but I really have to get this out of my system ...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!! Fuck Fuck Fuck Shit Fuck. The 'Butcher of Budapest' (my pet name for the psychotic dentist from my wisdom tooth misadventures) presented her case to the Zahnärztekammer and they sent me a copy of her letter today. I have never read such bullshit in my life - The Brothers Grimm have nothing on this bitch. Fucking lying arrogant fucking cnut. Fuck. Am so pissed off. Ok I knew she would lie to save her own arse (she would have to lie as there was nothing in her conduct on the day in question that was even remotely professional) and she does have the right to defend herself (two sides to every story and all) but mostly I'm livid because her comeback is couched in such fucking arrogant terms like 'if I want to argue with my assistant while working well then that is my right and she is only the patient'. (Please note I'm paraphrasing here!) Oh and the best one: I was 'unverschämt' for questioning the ability of such a brilliant dental practitioner. Deary me. Fucking shrivelled up schizo fucking ... grrrrrrrr. When I complained about her before I wasn't even remotely interested in taking the bitch to court - I just wanted her reprimanded and prevented from doing the same thing to someone else. But now, after reading this crap today I want that bitch's head on a fucking plate.

I just have to ask: what the hell happened???

nixe- call your local rag paper, they were able to get Dr. Kurze (or Kunze) out of his practice, as more people did finally come forward here in Munich and his practice had to be shut down. Good Luck.

@rilana - see German dentists and wisdom teeth

@carm - thanks I just might do that. Maybe I should calm down first though!

The case in Munich started with an article in the Abendzietungen then actually ended up in The Focus.

Ouch. She sounds like a dragon...

people that fully quote the quote right above their post, there is not fucking need to do that. Over use of the quote button bugs me.

Really?

(I have to admit, I sometimes do it unintentionally. When I notice it, I edit my post and remove the quote. I swear, I don't do it to piss off anyone, except maybe in this post. )

STAY AWAKE DURING THE DAY AND SLEEP DURING THE NIGHT!!! IT IS NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND!!!

Here's the direct link to Nixe's Tooth caper post, for those that don't want to read/search 4 pages in the other thread..

Move to a different time zone, but don't tell her!

arrrghhhhhhh
stupid internet connections

I cannot say the word 'nichts' properly, no matter how hard I try.

I hate German today.

@GG - I'm with you on that one. I have my German class in one hour and I'm already dreading it...

Try replacing it with nix. Easier to say and shorter to write. Nichts does have a lot of consonants in a row plus ch which English speakers have a problem with anyway (most that I have encountered anyway), so I feel for you guys.
Hope the German class goes well anyway.

Listen, Aldi, when I read about screen doors being on sale starting 8am Monday morning (as in yesterday) I expect to be able to buy one at 8.20am. Instead I see a builders firm rush in and buy about 150 of them, representing the total stock, at 8.18am. Can't you f***ing do something about that? The other four branches I tried were sold out by 5pm.
And your doughnuts are a travesty, an insult to the concept of doughnuts and rightly spelt donuts.
Oberknuts®!

Frigging lazybones in our main office! No bookkeeping entries for our Trust Account since August 2006 and the account name is wrong! Fachidioten, but leave out the Fach.

I'm totally bummed about the weather and all the rain. My mother is coming on Friday for her very first visit to Germany, and I had really wanted everything to be perfect for her. And now it's going to be pissing down the entire time she is here, which rules out lots of fun things like going to the beergarden or picnicking in the English Gardens. I am so disappointed I almost feel like I could cry, but instead I'm going to keep myself busy trying to think of what the hell I can do with her that won't involved getting drenched.

Sorry, this was less of a rant and more of a pity party. Wish I could dredge up more rage.

Edit: Fuck Mother Nature. Yeah, there's the rage, I feel it now.

Kilian's.

Get her laid - then she'll remember Munich with a smile and forget the rain.

Bring her to cocktails on saturday.

So I'll just take my mom down to the dingy craphole I already spend too much time in* and pimp her out. Thanks guys, great advice.

Can you imagine GG's Mummy rolling up to TT cocktail night? Oh dear. That could be dangerous. Especially if we've just come from Kilians.

_{* cos yes, I do love that dingy craphole}

ok it's not sunshine but its not downpours either

f*ck f*ck - I will NOT let this ruin kiddos b-day dinner

Bit of reality people - first drop of rain we have had for 2 months!!! It's not like we don't get rain in Germany.

The beer Gods are smiling.

Reality, you can't handle reality.

Son, we live in a world that has threads, and those threads have to be filled by people with time on their hands. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Georgiagirls mother, and you curse the weather. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Georgiagirls mother getting involved in a wet t-shirt cocktail evening, while dramatic, probably will save lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves posts. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that thread, you need me on that thread. We use words like irrelevant, mod, grammar. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent waffling about something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very rubbish that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a keyboard, and make a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

(Spitting and manic glare as applicable)

to all horror movie directors out there. Stop making your soldiers use blanks or wrong ammo. Stop using last minute trigger problems or slippery grounds or defective comms. it is so cheap. make your people fight and die like a man.

There is a reason that the cupboards and the boxes are labelled- so everything get put back in its right place, and since you cannot seem to do this, I am not assuming my coworkers cannot read.

stupid kvr wont give me my fricken work permit so I can start making money to pay the rent. GGRRRRRRRRRR!!! And my poor persons diet of 2 bits of bread and dinner a day aint cutting it with my stomach. GIVE ME MY PERMIT!!!

Will someone please come over here with a large wet fish and slap my boss and all the other fucktards at the same level until they agree to stop hiring their mates from their old companies: Siemens and BenQ. I don't give a shit if these people are unemployed, desperate, destitute and going cheap, mates of yours or even good at their jobs. I signed up to work in this company because it was full of people who cared about what they did, thought about their work, had a sense of humour, each one issued at birth with a personality, interests, peculiarities, a character and opinions which they bought with them to work, they showed initiative and co-operation, worked damn hard when necessary and had a great time in the pub together, and that melting pot of people made the place fun and challenging. It also made the company successful and I loved it.

Now you, my boss, are bringing in dull, cloned, identi-kit Siemens/BenQ types who look the same, all with short hair and wanky speccy little round glasses, gormless facial expression, and that leather satchel with the handle on top thing to bring their tupperware wrapped sandwich in, just sit there doing what they're told with no emotion or amusement. It wasn't the Chinese that killed BenQ, it was the lack of humour there, and they're doing it here now. There's no banter any more, no fun, no quirks, just 9-5 work, objectives, metrics, and more acronyms. Oh and did someone mention the politics you wankers have brought with you? The apparent need to prove how fucking clever you all are by manoevering to block out all ideas but your own? The suppression of free and merit based discussion in favour of a heirarchical just-do-what-you're-told structure. Oh, and don't get me started on the 'Ex-Siemens' lunch club. You even eat in the canteen you neanderthals, don't you realise how shit that food is? If I wanted to work with wankers like that I'd have taken the job Infineon offered me, but I didn't because I wanted to work for a lively company. And if you keep trying to micro-manage me I might just ram your smartphone up your nose you bastard.

Ooooh, that does feel better...

oh DAMN!!! I just now got an email about a (insert geek mode) free translation management seminar in Munich TONIGHT by a really really good presenter ...

I can see your point fnarr!

I hate it when others think their time is more valvuable than mine!

one of my coworkers drives me crazy! i'm taking part of her job and i cannot stand being by her while i'm learning some of the stuff. She acts like i'm a stupid kid and i don't know anything (granted, her kids are older than me). I may not know much, but i know more about some of the stuff than she does (well at least some of the cultural things, not the technical junk on how to deal with the database).

She just went off on me for not keeping up with bounced back emails and i told her i am. I'm doing what i can since she has yes to tell me what to do next with them! ugh! oh and she smells like an ashtray and so whenever she comes near me the smell will linger a bit after- yuck!

2007 is just one of those years where it seems like nothing good has happened to me yet. Usually, something does in one way or another during a given year. But this year, not so much. And it's already May, people! Argh. Ex-girlfriends. Sprained knees & torn ACL's. Having to do 2 jobs at work for 4 months before your replacement arrives for the old one. Watching your closest friends move back to the US. Missing Rock im Park for lack of anyone to camp out with, and then... the whole knee thing, can't walk on crutches into the legendary mosh pits of Korn & Tool.

And, then today there was getting yelled at by some asshole (of course in German which I didn't quite understand), who thought you honked at him, when it was actually someone else whom he had cut off. I never saw someone stop in the middle of traffic, get out of their car and walk around the other vehicles, to yell at someone. Much less the wrong person.

if it makes you feel better one51. 2007 hasn't been stellar for a few of us. hang in there.
oh, and i too was honked at then the person got out of the car and yelled at me when we were at a red light. I was in Munich when this happened too. oh, and yes, i didn't cut them off the person in front of me did. that person yelled out their window that they did it not me and the person was darn sure it was me and not them and told them so. i laughed.

Arr, ja. Well I just watched a movie about happiness (can you guess the name). I guess it's about hard work and making success happen (job / family / whatever). But one of the themes seems to be, life sucks an awful lot and whenever you feel it can't suck much worse, it does. And the next month, it sucks even worse than that. Then every once in a while something nice happens and you have happiness.

So, I'm waiting for that... I'm sure it's coming back sooner or later...

it will.
whether it be a coworker (another of mine just stopped by and told me to hang in there. she didn't even know i was fed up!), friend, or some event it gets better. once it's better though stick with it.
why not just find something each day that makes you smile/happy/laugh?

GRRR the stupid woman i work with!
so yesterday she was a pain and today went off asap when i walked in about how dare i email some people! I said uhh.. the seating letter for the exam bounced back and you don't want to mail them a letter (since she claims it won't get there in time, but she knows next to nothing about int'l mail so shut up you stupid woman!) so i went into their info and found their work email and the company has a sustaining membership with us so i emailed the email of their boss asking if there was some other way to contact these people. She went off on me for doing it and said why did i and i shouldn't have and not only shouldn't i have, but why did i write it in both languages (Spanish and English)? I said uhh.. b/c i haven't a clue which language the boss speaks and i don't want to assume it's English. She went off saying she only does it in English and I shouldn't change how it's done. Then while doing this another email came up to someone i emailed in French. She got annoyed since it isn't my section to deal with I said yes, but since it's a special administration of the exam the special admin person asked me to. So crabby woman then continued to go on and on about well, we don't translate into French so we should only correspond in English with them. I said well, obviously there had been problems with the person coordinating the test with the company who wants it hence asking me to communicate for them.

in the end the person who's 2nd in charge came up and asked what's the problem (she overheard everything) we stated the situation and said hello... i was hired partly because i can help with some of the language problems and since the Spanish problem will be my site after June's exams i can communicate how i want and it's ridiculous to not use a different language if using it makes the communication faster and clearer. Well, crabby woman wasn't too pleased and now is behing heinous to me when she walks by and i have to deal with her later
