It's about now that my regular Monday afternoon, post-caffeine nihilism sets in.

It's Three-thirtyitis times a thousand. Yes, it's 330,000itis.

Finding out that what was first thought to be an agressive sprain on my bad shoulder (which has had two previous rebuilds in the AC joint)
Is actually a herniated disc in my spine just below my skull that is pressing on on my nevres and requires surgery
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion of a couple of vertibrae

I'm not a rascist

A newly finished block of shops has opened recently opposite the town hall. It's one of these new ones with like 10sqm sized shops (If that).

One of the shops that has opened has shitty posters taped to the inside of the windows, all in some asian language. All the products in the store have asian language packaging.
In fact, there is not a single english word in the entire store.
I don't even know what it is they are selling.


Jesus people. English and Maori. What the fuck is wrong with you.

I'm sick and tired of my supervisor being grumpy and not helpful. I understand that she doesn't want to be here any more but for fucks sake pull it together and act professionally and not like a petulant child. Some of the younger students may put up with it but I'm too old to deal with this bullshit attitude.

remember that whole bullshit about the guy buying my camera and then not having the money to pay for it and then getting all rustled when i placed negative feedback? WELL I GOT MY MONEY BACK AND RELISTED THE AUCTION AND IT SOLD AGAINNNN

Quote:
I'm sorry not to have contacted you before buying on your item, I want you to post it to my son little studio in Africa, I hope the sum of $550,00 will be enough for the item and postage as I prefer shipment via Registered post. Kindly send your paypal email for immediate payment.

Greetings
It sold for $400.
I told this clown to pay me into my paypal and I will ship it when the funds are withdrawn and clear into my bank account. No surprises that he hasn't fucking paid in 5 days.

So I've this week been appointed Team Leader of my team and I feel like I'm on a hiding to none before I've even started...

Our previous Team Leader announced he was leaving to another team/area in the office with a couple of weeks notice, while at the same time, one of our team members handed in her notice and has had a minimal amount of time to train her inexperienced replacement before she leaves, even though she gave a full 4 weeks notice.

She was also the back up to me in my role, so now by becoming Team Leader I also have to train a somewhat inexperienced replacement for myself.

Oh and I've just learnt that another member of my team is currently undergoing disciplinary proceedings for cutting corners in a major way!

This could either be an epic save in the making..... or I'm screwed.

Radio ads are the worst, never listen to commercial radio because of them.

I like music. Going from enjoying the subtleties of a piece of music to some attention grabbing jingle... it's like someone dragging a saw through my brain.

Not the cover, the "journalism".

"This thing happened and some people on twitter and facebook are mad about it".

Even a cursory google search could have given them a angle on how Rolling Stone has featured worse people on the cover in the past, such as Charles Manson or Jar-Jar Binks.

I don't think there's any commercial radio stations playing anything with subtlety anyway, so this scenario only exists in your head anyway

I'm a music snob but I'm not that much of a snob. Obviously the technicality and precision of classical music is rare in contemporary radio friendly music, but there are many, many ~ four minute tracks out there that I could only describe as sublime.

I raise you:

One guy in my house looking for a cat.

Could have pocketed a psp but put it back down. Seemed more interested in clothing. Nice surprise for my wife when she came home.
