Ok, so we have a smiling thread. This thread is for all of the little dumb things that make you frown, or angry, or sad, etc., etc.
I'll start. I had chili for lunch today. I brought some crackers for the chili and a banana for breakfast. THE CRACKERS ABSORBED THE BANANA FLAVOR THROUGH THE BAG, SO I HAD BANANA FLAVORED CHILI FOR LUNCH! >:(
I missed a chem quiz online, i thought we didnt have one this week and found out when it was too late. And i didnt fully read over the requirements for a project due tomorrow. So it is going to be near impossible for me to get this done. I need non web sources and libraries are closed, and in class opinions and i know nobody. Plus its a power point, so i have to use my moms computer which cannot be hooked up to the computer and it has to be printed. So. Goodbye good grade in chemistry. =[
ouch... frown indeed
My mom didn't call and wish my happy birthday. Not because she didn't remember, but because she didn't feel like it. =-(
whaaa? really? that's pretty crappy behaviour.
Sarah, good luck getting something sorted for your assignment, that sounds stressful as!
so. my moms computer doesnt have power point. John told me they did a week ago, he just told me they really dont have it and laughed. I was relying on that to put this project together. Hello failure.
she may let you turn it in late for 1/2 credit.....an F is better than an incomplete.
Sarah, does your school have a computer lab w/ power point? Could you do it there before class?
my mum and I have organised a 'secret' holiday for us and my dad and my husband to Rarotonga in February.
we/I spent ages looking up accommodation, eventually found a good deal, I gave her the link to look into, we decided it was good, booked it, and paid a deposit.
Today my mum called me at work to say she's looked up some reviews and they're all terrible and this place is dirty and horrible and the staff are drunk all the time and....
and now I feel really bad that I obviously didn't look into it enough at the time, and don't want to book somewhere else because we'll lose our deposit. I'm stressed as hell at the moment with the vendors of the house we're trying to buy not returning calls, the recruitment agent who's trying to get me a job not being able to arrange a further interview till next week and needing the job answer to be able to arrange the house finance and.... well, I didn't need another thing to worry/stress/feel bad about right now.
I just went outside to smoke and heard this cat crying so loudly it gave me chills. I tried to find it in case it was hurt or something. I could hear that I was getting close, but then the cat stopped crying. It's too dark out to find it. I hope it's okay. :'(
Yay... I have round two job interviews in forty minutes... in the words of my previous interviewer: "I get to go have a friendly chat with HR."
I hope it's okay. :'(
me too....I hate hearing sad animals andn now knowing where they are..
Yay... I have round two job interviews in forty minutes...
not a reason to smile??
Getting the runnaround at aforementioned job interview and being told to waste another $8 bucks worth of gas to go back tomorrow.
not a reason to smile??
I passionately hate job interviews.
I passionately hate job interviews.
oh, I think everyone does.. But second round interview means they must seriously be considering you for the job, which is a reason to smile : )
getting mucked around is not cool though, hope they're more organised tomorrow.
my sister's husband has started eating tiny bits of meat recently after over 20 years of being veggie. I don't really hold it against him as he hass his reasons, even though I don't ageree with them. That's not a reason to frown too much in itself.
My reason to frown: on Saturday I went to visit my sister and her husband and we all got drunk and went for a japanese meal. My sister's husband ordered veggie food, but tried bits of my sister's and N's meat dishes. After trying it he came out with 'Well, no matter how much us veggies say we like this (pointing to his yummy tofu dish), what we really want is some of this tasty shit' (pointing to my sister's pork). I obviously disagreed and said there was no way I wanted any of 'that shit' and he told me that I did really I just didn't want to admit it.
>:(
Today in my "vet issues" class, one of the professors was talking about the animal rights activists vs. researchers thing, since in this area (L.A.), there have been a number of animal rights demos and home protests, against vivisection (especially UCLA). She was talking about how recently the researchers have put together some sort of "pro-test"ing group, which evens out a little bit with the AR people. Except when she talked about the AR people, she said something like "the ALF and Jerry Vlasak and " and described the protests as having people throwing gas bombs and other violent things.
Except... I have gone to these protests for years. The worst thing they've done is write on a driveway with chalk. Also, ALF =/= AR activists protesting in broad daylight. And that lady whose name I cannot recall... not a part of the ALF.
The class seemed a little abhorred at what these "animal rights people" do, with sympathy for those poor poor researchers who have such stringent IACUC regulations put on them. There seems to be a stronger/more vocal pro-research portion in my class/the school, though there are surely people against vivisection. I didn't speak up... I didn't want to get into some debate about the ALF and "stealing" animals and the threat of violence :/
What's weird is this professor is usually very measured in how she speaks about animal rights activists and only things that are totally substantiated (like the PETA euthanizing animals thing, about how they tend to take in "hopeless" cases and have a similar euthanasia rate to other shelters). This was unusually... not substantiated. It reminded me of all those times where someone mentions "animal rights" and someone goes:
OMG ALF PETA TERRORIST KILLS HATES PEOPLE AGAINST PETS CRAZY VEGANS DON'T EAT DAIRY!!!!!!!!
In sum: >:(
I got very little sleep last night, due to teh kittehs beating each other up downstairs just when I was on the verge of asleep. Thankfully, only one was nicked in the nose. This was the first all out cat fight I've had with these two. When I woke up this morning, they were cuddled together on my bed???
After spending half a(n) (unplanned) day in prep (it should have taken no more than an hour....it took 4-5!!) for this cattle call of a job fair for a new Chipotle opening near by, I get told thanks but no thanks.
I found out that if I lived less than 5 miles from where I do now, there would be help ($$) available for me. But the county I'm in has had their Section 8 waiting list closed for some time.
I just spent over an hour on a single online job app.
Earlier today, I got all excited when I received a job offer from a non-profit! Then I read the posting....since when do non-profits offer stock options? yeah....it's a scam.
I've been doping myself up each night so I can move my neck enough to be comfortable. No matter what I do, it seems to freeze every night for the better part of two weeks.
I have yet to find out from the adjudicator if my unemployment has been approved.
Sallie Mae has started calling non-stop again, after supposedly getting it worked out last week, again.....
my mom just showed me the turkey's heart...right before she put it on the pan :'[
Gosh...I'm sorry guys....
The class thing and the job thing and the turkey heart?? You all need love and chocolates. You should come over =-)
lol go right on ahead. Then we'll both beam to somwhere way cooler than KY...like portland. And we'll eat vegan donuts.
I'm lonely. It's Thanksgiving and I was supposed to work today, so hubby and I celebrated 2 days ago, but my boss decided to close at the last minute. Hubby is still working though, so I'm just lonely.
