What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

The place I work at uses a system called PETRA for client case records. I dream of the day where it only crashes once. My record is it crashing 6 times when trying to look up a client's case records.

Not exactly a peeve, I didn't quite know where to put it.

My cat had been sick off and on the past week or two since I came back from holiday. Took him to the pdsa because he'd been sick again and lost weight. Expected them to say it's a stuck furball or a virus but he has a large tumor in his bowel. Vet gave him steroid injection and let me take him home, He said he has a couple of weeks max there's nothing that can be done.
I know it's just a cat to most people but at times for me he was the only company I had. He's only a young cat too he's 7.
Thing is he's acting normal and eating and drinking like normal. I can't believe I walked in there thinking it would be simple and it turns out to be this. I just can't believe it.
I'm just trying to make his time left a happy one. I know if he starts feeling pain I'm going to have to have him put to sleep.

I still can't quite get my head around it at all. Usually it's me handing out the bad news.
Devastated doesn't even come near to how I am feeling at the moment.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I've been going through a really long and drawn out application process for the past 8 months for a job within the JATC of the IBEW Local 103 here in Boston.

(Join Apprenticeship Training Committee) (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers)

The application process was done in stages. There was the initial Application, The Written Test, The Manual Dexterity Test and finally the Interview. Each stage was roughly a month and a half apart and if you don't meet their requirements at the end of any stage, they tell you "tough luck... try again in 4 years".

About a little over a month ago I did the final interview... and I was told that I would recieve a letter in the mail no later than the 16th of July to inform me of my acceptance/denial.

Yesterday, my Big Boss (the one I complained about to you guys in the past) approached me and said "Oh, I never wrote you that reccomendation, did I? Is it too late?" to which I said "Yeah... probably".

Not knowing for sure, I called up the office and asked them if it would be a waste of her time to write one for me. They told me... "Yeah, the letters went out 2 weeks ago".

Inside:
2 WEEKS AGO?!?! WHERE THE FUCKING HELL IS MINE?!?!?

Outside:
Oh that's strange. I haven't received mine in the mail yet. Could you tell me the address you have on file?

"We have *#U(%() Street #(%&)# Mass"

Well yeah... that's it. Could you send it out again?

"We can only print it and have you pick it up in person"

So... the wife is on her way to find out if I got the job... and I'm here at work... tripping balls because I've been waiting 8 months for this answer.

Your boss is fucking awful. 4 year cooldown and they couldn't be bothered to write a recommendation they said they would? That's just low.

Letter in hand. No need to move this to a new thread. I didn't get the position.

I took the picture of her and the other assistant managers from the breakroom and have been using it to throw sharpened pencils at for the better part of the afternoon.

Sorry to hear that Yygers. If you post your address I'll send you an "i'm sorry to hear that letter"

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Feba wrote me a letter once. Or... a postcard. But even he doesn't know my current address.

dirty laundry

I lost my shit today and tore a door off one of our kitchen cabinets. I felt the rage coming and tried to put it out with a shot of liquor but I choked on it. I really wanted to be spanking the shit out of my son who was then throwing a screaming fit at the top of his lungs because after I found him in the car with my keys trying to start the engine I refused to take him to the park. I know it's not his fault and he can't control himself like normal children but I'm just so angry and stressed and frustrated at all the noise and the bullshit crying over nothing I just wanted to beat the hell out of something and I took it out on the inanimate objects around me.

Peeve :

I had to work an extra hour today, so now I have one hour less of free time to do whatever I wish before going to sleep. Woe is me.






...what? What's with the look? <_<;

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Yeah TM, I hate putting up with dirty laundry, too. I'm in the middle of doing eight loads of it right now. Kinda sucks, but at least it's a bit cool outside now that it's nighttime.

Yes I read the spoiler. Yes I want to give you hugs, but all I can give you is dry humor. And maybe a punching bag, if I had a source of income and a mailing address.
