You know what's annoying?

I mean to be fair I would call the catalyst slow boring noise core.  BUT I WOULD USE THAT AS CRITERIA FOR HOW THEY ARE AWESOME.

I never should've gone to my mom's hairdresser (whenever it was that I went to her, like six months ago or whatever). I've been letting my hair grow out. It's pretty long right now and to be cut, but now my mom's been nagging me daily (several times a day) to make an appointment to see her again. She's forbidden me to cut my own hair. I find this to be really bloody annoying.

Also annoying, I got ANOTHER cracked dvd from Netflix. It seems that every time I get a broken disc, it's part of a series and it throws off my entire viewing schedule.

Word. I mean, slow boring noise core is kinda what I'm into above all else. And what I do. I'd hardly consider it a con.

two MORE hours on the phone with Ver-fucking-izon and my internet is (temporarily?) working again.  after working for 14 hours this is not what I need.  guh!  and the repair dude is coming in... 6 hours to check the line.  and probably another 12 or 14 hours of charretting tomorrow.  so much for the beauty rest I was planning for this week.

well, i mean, i think the catalyst are slow INTERESTING noise core, but yeah, it pretty much fits.

what's funniest about it is that graf orlock and phoenix bodies both use blastbeats constantly, which are faster than hardcore beats. but no, still slow and boring apparently.

Why are people ao annoying? At work, someone sent around a press release about a grant that we made and then like five different people had questions about it and APPARENTLY I am the only person here who can open the database and look things up.  So I spent 20 minutes emailing people information that they could have found for themselves in 2 minutes.  And later people will be mad that the letters I was supposed to do for them are late. GAH.

My dad and my sister got into a screaming match yesterday about our presence at Christmas. Apparently he planned for us to be at his house on Christmas Eve because that is the way The New Wife wants it done and that is when her kids are going to be in town, but that is also the night that EVERY YEAR FOR LIKE FIVE YEARS we have gone and hung out with my mom's sisters, and not only did he fail to take anything except what The New Wife wants done into consideration, he is calling us "inconsiderate" and "disrespectful" for wanting to "avoid" his wife, and apparently she is Very Very Upset because we are Avoiding Her. Which, if she ever talked to us about anything except the dogs and my father's bowling scores and his newfound love of Dr. Phil, we might be more inclined to, you know, talk to her, just in general.

It is like he is trying to erase my mom's existence entirely, and it is like we are the old family and we do not measure up to the new family and he is the long-suffering husband with kids who don't have their lives together and are not complying with the program, and I have NOTHING IN COMMON WITH HIS WIFE'S CHILDREN and ALL THEY DID AT THANKSGIVING, WHICH I FUCKING SHOWED UP FOR, ALL THEY DID WAS TALK ABOUT THE EXACT MOMENTS WHEN THEIR WATER BROKE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PREGNANCIES AND WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THAT.

I am cancelling Christmas. Also converting to Judaism. Also running away and living in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Also I am sorry if this reads like a Livejournal entry, but fucking Christ, you guys, I don't know what to do.

[DCDave]

From the mixed up files of ms. basel e frankweiler?

[nonotyet]

exactly

You make splashing noises and chuckle:

"Splish splash... ha ha ha"

"ha ha splooosh ha ha"

[jebreject]

Also converting to Judaism.

This is hard work. You might want to consider something easy, like Taoism, or Unitarian Universalism or something.

[Greg Nog]

"Hey Liz Lemon, you know where I can find a good church?"
"How good? Like, Judaism good, or just like, Unitarian?"

I am pretty sure that they are cutting concrete next door.  Not, like, jokingly.  They really are, I think.  And what is between me and the noise of this work?  One piece of particle board and about 4 inches of insulation. See?



Just on the other side of that insulation.  It's making my ears ring when they stop. I'm about ready to go home.

I was so annoyed at work today that I wrote an entry for this thread on a piece of paper so I'd have it for ya'll when I got home, without losing any of my fiery annoyedness:

I'm really pissed off right now because I've been getting the run-around about benefits and paid time off and now I'm apparently not eligible until at least January, even though I'd previously been told Dec. 1st. It's bullshit, and now I really won't be able to afford time off for xmas. Basically no one has given me straight answers about anything and the HR people seem unable to treat the employees like adults. This is seriously the most angry I've been in forever. First I was told I'd be eligible as of my review (this was erroneous, but nothing was ever explained very well), then it was as of December 1st, and now I'm told it was changed to 180 days rather than 90, so it won't be until Jan. or Feb. Not being the type to hold things in, I explained to her, calmly, that this was really frustrating how different people told me different things, how the date kept changing, etc. And she just looked at me blankly. "Sorry," in that empty, disinterested tone that seems a prerequisite for working in Human Resources. [Then I go into a long rant about how Human Resources never actually care about people and how we're all just a collection of statistics to them, etc. It's not that interesting]

Later on I talked to my supervisor about it, and she was all WTF on the 180 days thing, so I don't know. We'll see what happens.

[maggiego]

That is teh lame, Jeb. You should bring a fish to work and gut it on the desk.

[rockmeamadeus]

I have to do a powerpoint presentation of my senior thesis (failed marxist revolutions & the disconnect between intelligentsia and proletariat, basically) tommorrow.

DUDES. I fucking hate powerpoint presentations.

HATE.

like what am I going to do man. A few slides of bearded marx. A dude in leather throwing a molotov. Some chinese peasants carrying Mao on their shoulders.

Soundtrack Shostakovich's 5th symphony.

I mean god dudes, it's like a big deal, I have to give it to all the musty profs who then decide if I get my degree.

My paper is fucking GOOD.

But a powerpoint? Is this BIO 101? Am I a fucking education major? Is this a business, will there be graphs?

no, no, and no.

annoyed.

A Noid. Oh yes.

[Killdozersnakeboy]

just burnt my thumb on an iron. oh, the rage!!

You should write a killer oral presentation for your paper, and then do the powerpoint you just described, and slay them with the oral presentation, while mocking their request for a powerpoint.

Or maybe you shouldn't actually do that but it would be fucking great if you did.

Thats the right kind of attitude! Pics please

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that Powerpoint was a good program.

So I usually make myself some kind of lunch before work. And today I decided to make this package of red beans and rice that I bought from Pick 'n Save for like a dollar. I start making it, and I think, hm, this sure smells like bacon. I check the ingredients, and I seem to be in the clear--no meat. So when it's done, I try some. It does not taste like bacon. However, it is one of the most atrocious-tasting concoctions I have ever tasted. I cannot eat this. Now I've wasted a half an hour making the stuff and don't have time to make something else. Well, maybe some pasta. Yeah, I'll do that. Man. I still can't get that taste out of my mouth. YUCK YUCK YUCK.

[DCDave]

Was it Zataran's?  That shit is nasty.

[das kranke Tier]

Man, I hate Zataran's and I know so many people willing to lay down their lives for that shit

[elpollodiablo]

Hah. My dad loves that shit. That's the kosher soup that comes in the little tube, right?
