Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Laptop battery has crapped out and the AC adaptor seems to be kaput. Only cost the equivalent of $50 to replace the stuff thanks to Amazon but that is money out of the video games budget which means I'm stuck between reactivating FFXI and bouncing to Cerberus or buying Persona 4 Golden since I can now only afford to do one of those at the end of the month.

Nice trick, promoting me when taxes go up so that I end up making less (take home) than I did last year.

Wouldn't you have even less money if the taxes went up and you didn't get the promotion? I'm not understanding the trick.

If her promotion barely ends up putting her into a higher tax bracket, there's a small window where she takes home less money than she would have at the top of her previous bracket as a result. Thus the "trick" she's referring to. Her post was complaining that it felt like that this was an orchestrated conspiracy against her.

Well, never mind. Seems she pointed out what you said, anyway.

It could of course be worse, I could be making the same hourly rate as last year which would mean even less, but shit man. This is totally lame.

It would've benefited us both to actually read the post in question. XD

Databases and the documentation thereof.

You'd think it would be really easy to figure out how to extract a specific item and get a string representation of it.

Went to a new department because their staff had multiple illness so I got asked by 1st On If I'd mind being in charge until a more senior nurse became available.
All seemed to be going well 6hrs into the 8hr shift still no sign of senior nurse and only had an HCA with me, I had a Dr turn up and ask where the deceased patients were so he could record the deaths and certify them.

Turns out I fked up with their system, instead of admitting 5 patients I recorded them as dead,
Yay to me !!!!

A friend's roommate just outed my friend to her family as transgender.

I want to beat the shit out of that roommate. He steals what could have been a very important moment for her and thinks he can just move out weeks later. Well, yeah, I don't want him around her and neither does she. He needs to own up to the damage he as potentially done all the same. You dont do shit like that to people and just walk away. Fucking coward.

I hope some of the people on Facebook choke on the sentiments they're posting.

Pet Peeve 1: I got called into work today (and while I need the OT, I was really looking forward to not having to put on pants today).

Pet Peeve 2: I just now found the Harlem Shake craze.

Pet Peeve 3: I have spent the last two hours that I should have been asleep eating ice cream and watching videos of the aforementioned craze. God bless the internet, I guess.



Going to bed.

Bah, Smogon University. It's like every time you see a cool idea, Smogon has done it first and has already decided "Newp, you can't do that." Or even in things I wouldn't have exploited.

Apparently, Sand Veil Garchomp is "illegal" so I couldn't show up at a Pokemon meetup I'm going to this week with one. I need to have the special Hidden Ability Garchomp that is a much bigger pain in the arse to get. But I'm not doing Dream World stuff just to get a Roughskin Garchomp...maybe I'll just stick with Dragonite.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Sand Veil Garchomp is what lead to it being banned in Gen IV, it is that ridiculously overpowered. It basically turns the game into a luck based game and massively over centralised the metagame to the point where every single team had to have Garchomp and a dedicated two part Garchomp counter (because it was impossible to kill Garchomp with just one Pokémon).

All teams in Gen IV looked like this:

#1 Stealth Rock Bitch
#2 Tyranitar
#3 Garchomp
#4 Garchomp Counter Part 1
#5 Garchomp Counter Part 2
#6 Rapid Spinner
