rants Haters/Complainers: Legacy of Spleen

The inner door lock at work broke so we were locked in until the boss could come in and unlock us.

my baby, she is dead.

tow guys were wrong -- engine isn't frozen up...at least not yet. it'll start, but it has no power and it dies after a few minutes. it's also leaking antifreeze and/or fuel into the oil. without spending a lot of time diagnosing the problem, we've decided it will cost too much to fix it (cracked head, blown head gasket, something else?) and so we're going to junk/sell it off. 

tow guys want me to give them a $ number to sell it to them for parts. however, someone who owned it a few years before i bought it also wants it. he says he has another engine he can put in there. and he's offering me $1000 for it, which i know i won't get from the junkyard. so at least i won't have any trouble getting rid of it. and i'm supposed to be going into the city tonight to look at a couple jeeps. i wanted another truck so i have something to haul shit, but wife said she wants something more fun. so we compromised. we're looking at jeeps, and i'll just pick up a trailer to haul shit instead.

So that one jeep that looked good online was fucked. I even called ahead so it could be cleaned up and ready for a test drive. Dead-dead battery, empty gas tank, hadn't been washed or even hosed off, standing water in the passenger running board, not a single intact wiper blade, 2x cracked windshield, all ext LEDs had condensation inside them, busted tail light. WTF mates? I couldn't even drive it off the lot for a test. It could have been in good condition overall, but all these missed details ruined it. And the rest of the options on their lot were just as bad. Ugh, moving on.

[wacky1980]

And no more daft punk. Fucking hell.

[katt_goddess]

I've spent two days trying to fix everything that was farked over in the last week while I was out. I'm still not caught up and the pile grows every day. I have until Saturday to clear everything before I'm out another week. Another week in which my office will be trashed again and I'll be expected to fix it again. 

I'd threaten to unplug my phone for next week but they know where I live. -.-; 

[Seight]

IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU TOO

[SwimModSponges]

There was a bat in my basement the other day. 

Not really a complaint, in fact it was sort of cool.

I like when nature visits every once in a while.

Chill enough little dude, flew right past my head when I was going down to switch out a load of laundry.

Went back, grabbed a bucket, and caught him  in there.

Good time.

[wacky1980]

Reminds me of a few months ago when we had a bat in our house. The kids were going nuts being scared of the flying rodent and I couldn't find anything to catch it with, so being the resourceful mofo that I am, I decided to use a small blanket as a makeshift whip to snap it out of the air mid-flight. And wouldn't you know, I nailed that fucker. Problem was, I hit it on the snapback part of the whipping motion, because the bat got knocked back at me and hit me square in the face. It was stunned and I took it outside where it eventually flew off, but I think I was more traumatized than the damn bat.

Me last night: Adds publisher to possible submission list.

Today: Same publisher announces possible fuckery to come involving... her. 

 

This shit is gonna get ugly by tomorrow.

[Poof]

im tired of sci fi shows where the phone of the future is see thru so it shows your screen on the other side of the screen. Nobody would want a phone like that.

i brought a disposable biodegradable paper straw to drink my tea w/but I drank half the tea w/o even putting the straw in the cup fuck

Bought a mini egg bite maker last week with plans on doing all sorts of weird things with it this week. I have a few eggs left that are going to go bad and I'm just not feeling scrambled eggs right now. I briefly opened it at the store to make sure it wasn't some random return item, everything was still sealed up and the warranty sheet was still sitting on the top of it all. Good.

Open it up today to get rid of those last couple of eggs and...the menu / manual is gone. Someone had pulled out the envelope that had that, removed the manual, and put the damn envelope back. What kind of dumb pud does that? I had to go online to the company site and look up the basics on how to work this stupid thing all because some jackass decided to collect the manual.

I did prove that you can cook with jerky bits though. Take that, manual thief.

So fun fact, if you've ever been on unemployment and gotten your benefits put on a debit card, you will eventually have to tell US Bank to stop sending you a new card because nobody can have unemployment benefits for years, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEND NEW CARDS WHEN THE OTHER ONE EXPIRES AND THE ACCOUNT ISN'T USED ANYMORE.

[katt_goddess]

I am craving ice cream.

But I'm already in my jammies because it's really not a run around and do anything kind of day. It's a bed - recliner - bed type of day where you can't even get comfortable to sleep.

Someone get me ice creams. 

[helpme]

Either michigan unemployment loves getting complaints about payments or they're just now learning what hell they unleashed by not paying me .....seriously those fuckers owe me $1,096 💢💢💢💢💢

[SwimModSponges]

So the wife's office wants everybody back on location by june.

But everybody's been able to do everything perfectly fine from home this whole time.

Everybody's apparently pissed, understandably.

[DragonSinger]

I really need to stop being so harsh on myself when it comes to being behind in publishing. A bunch of authors got fucked by the same bullshit, and two years later bigger name ones are just now getting books back out. The amount of authors it wiped out from my genre is just... Shit feels lonely now. 

Fuck All-Star Weekend, and all you fuckers need to keep your asses in Atlanta. Traffic is bad enough!

[DragonSinger]

God I fucking hate that woman.

[katt_goddess]

Office auditors can kiss the darkest part of my cat's asshole after I've let her eat fish. 

I look forward to their extinction.

Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of Dexter and DeeDee's school going to remote learning. Jesus wept, I am really tired of this.

[DragonSinger]

Jesus Christ, I just want one place online to chill and relax while talking shop. Why does every group have to be at war with each other right now or messageboards migrating to new servers? 

[Chapinator_X]

Why have news outlets tried to engineer a war with millennials and gen z over Eminem when there are people out there that think that American Boy is a cover of a Fortnite parody?

[Poof]

just had a mini panic attack and threw up my breakfast. fun

So much for two days off in a row, now i gotta go help out at a location half an hour away.

We're short on people too.

Why are we the ones always bailing other locations out?

Myself and another leader will be covering over there for the weekend, and a different leader will be across town for the next few months. 

Also right now my boss is running both locations.

Do you have any vacation time saved up?

[SwimModSponges]

67 hours, but no way can I use it right now or any time soon with everything going on.

You aren't going to make it if you keel getting pulled into work.

Me doing taxes at H&R Block a couple of weeks ago: "I want my tax returns Direct Deposited"

IRS: "Sure, no problem"

State: "lol nah we'll send you a check that you'll have to deposit yourself"

[Chapinator_X]

I started a Letterboxd account and spent the last half hour freaking out because I realized people by default can reply to your reviews. Now I’m whiskey-drunk have to deal with a defensive reply to my negative review of Frozen 2.

Why the hell does milk have to go with a bunch of delicious chocolaty things? My lactose intolerant ass can only handle a cup of milk too. Not a full glass, but like an actual 8oz. I have to sip on that cup for the duration of my dessert, and of course it's not enough. My throat is dry and that white tempting bastard was nice and chilled today. God I want another cup. *Glares at bottle of water that won't satisfy my craving*

Goat milks...just make sure you get goat MILK and not kiefer or you'll be chewing your drink. 

I should be painting right now but I don't wanna. I'd rather be napping but that would screw up my sleep schedule for tonight. And the ice cream I have left in the freezer is Rocky Road which has nuts in it and they keep heading for the temp crown I got in today.

What my motivation to work should be right now: Saving money to move to Seattle.

What it actually is in reality: Working enough so I can justify spending 300 something on 3 anime box sets.

Last night sucked at work.

It was myself and two others, had to send one home on covid quarantine, and it was the other's last day.

Not that she ever worked hard in the first place, but she did nothing last night.

Place was absolutely trashed, i did all i could, but goddamn.

Sorry first shift. I left you a shit show.

[SwimModSponges]

Last night i dreamed that my boss was pissed about that.

[Poof]

this is an impression of my dr after she asks why I'm depressed/anxious and i reply that I'm probably going to be depressed until i can afford my surgeries and make progress on transitioning and if I never can then i'll likely be sad forever

Whoever made the Coca-Cola commercial with the wolf-girl and the goat-man either 1) Doesn't know what the Internet could do with that, or 2) Knows EXACTLY what the Internet could do with that.

another tgirl pornstar killed herself last night. A girl my ex photographed. He was talking to me when he found out actually tho like 20 mins ago. We were talking earlier last night about her friends and gf freaking out bc she said she was going to do it and locked herself in the house. This was a routine thing w/her apparently. Police and shit came and were gonna get them inside and it was supposed to be alright. I guess it wasnt tho

[wacky1980]

when i was getting ready for work this morning, i accidentally kicked the door frame with my pinky toe. pretty sure i broke it. didn't have time to dwell on it though, so i slapped on my shoes and went about my day. it didn't feel like it was swelling up too much until about an hour ago. not really looking forward to trying to take that shoe off when i get home. 

if it is indeed broken, this will be the second time for that toe, and the only bone i've ever broken. maybe i should just have the fucker removed and be done with it for good.

used "really" way too much, ugh

[wacky1980]

i fucking hate it when people come up to me after getting wasted the night before and they're all like "i gave you all my money last night." no, bitch, you didn't give me anything. you purchased booze voluntarily. you spent your money. i'm not a fucking charity. that wasn't a donation. you think i owe you something? i don't. but since you asked, here's a tylenol. now get thirsty or fuck off.

there was a guy who was after $2000 he spent on me for years before he gave up

a wealthy member of the community offered us some charity this morning for the business, under the assumption that we need the help since we've been shut down periodically over the last year. i had to tell him no thanks, but i had to do it in a way that doesn't sound ungrateful. people just assume we're hurting because a lot of other places are, but we're actually doing really well since we got opened back up in january. it's kinda offensive at this point, people acting like they get to be our savior. no thanks guy, we got it.

What kind of shitty deal was he offering for said "generosity?"

guy wanted to pay for our membership into a community org. it's an economic development non-profit that helps local businesses with marketing/promotions, and they do community-based projects and manage certain events and whatnot. we've acted as a vendor for several of their events, and donated a lot of money to them in the past. they started asking businesses to buy in as members a couple years ago, in exchange for access to the benefits they had been offering for free for several years. it's a membership that provides us little value, and imo our donations (several times the annual dues buy-in) should probably qualify us for a membership, if we wanted one. but we don't.

and then there's the part where the guy who offered the charity, is also a board member at the bank. it doesn't necessarily complicate the situation, but it makes that relationship awkward, regardless of how we responded to the offer. nothing occurs within a vacuum, especially in a small town.

oh, he's also the head of another foundation that has heavy ties to this organization. so essentially he's recruiting.

man, i'm filling this fucking thread and i apologize for that. i hate that i feel the need to say that, but got damn.

so i took the day off from the bank because i have been fighting some corp tax filing issues, and this was going to be the day i figured it all out and righted that ship. i'm on hold on my second call into the IRS already this morning. first one took a full hour before i got a person. second one is only about 15 minutes deep. but i finally figured out why we're missing so damn many federal returns. my fucking accountant (who i've ranted on in the past for similar reasons) was apparently filing our wage reports and even our annual income tax return under the tax id for the previous owners. their corp dissolved after we bought up their assets, but she's been filing returns on them instead of us, which has prompted unpleasant calls from that old owner saying WE fucked them over on taxes, which i obviously told them wasn't true because that wouldn't make a lick of sense. FUUUUUUUUUUCK. this explains so much of the bullshit!

needless to say, i got rid of that accountant a year ago, but now i have to go back to her again and see if she's sitting on those old returns, and they're just in the wrong customer file. i fucking hope so, because i don't want to have to rebuild and resubmit all of that shit 2 years after the fact. hopefully i can prove original filing dates, because the penalties on that shit will be huge if i can't. 

[Poof]

it's really cold !
