What's Bugging You Today? Volume 3, Part 1

I got four tickets to the Foo Fighters show on monday three months ago for my birthday.

The show is in two days and I completely fucking forgot about it. Now I have to work monday and I don't get to go see my favorite goddamn band live. Its bad enough that I missed the fucking EPIC ACOUSTIC PERFORMACE a while back.

And I can't find anybody to buy the tickets off me. Hell, $40 for the lot.

I know it's my fault, but fuck. And I absolutely can't call in sick monday because our district managers will be here this week and I'm up for a "promotion."

I'm not in a very good mood right now.

I just got woken up by my mom calling to tell me that my dad was in the ER with bad breathing problems and chest pain, and that he's been there for an hour and no one has seen him yet. My sister who is a nurse (well, almost done with nursing school) is very upset and trying to get them to take a look at him or at least give him oxygen but so far nothing.
Apparently he dropped my mom off at church, and after parking the car came in and was having visible and audible trouble breathing, but he wouldn't do anything about it because it was his day to greet and he wouldn't back down from that responsibility. When one of their friends who is a doctor came in he took one look at my dad and said 'Get him to the ER right now', even calling ahead to let them know that someone was coming in with a possible heart attack.
I'm very fucking scared for my dad right now, he's a smoker and a drinker and the last couple days has had a terrible cough from it that sounds like hell.
This sucks.

Here's hoping he'll be okay, Pineapple. Keep us informed. :(

I was let go/quit from my job on Friday. They said its cause someone caught me on the sales floor with a cell phone. W/e. They said that since its company policy I have to be fired, but the manager said I'll give you this option to quit. So you can TRY and collect Unemployment. I liked the Manager, but the keyholders sucked shit and always talked bad about her. She didn't give a fuck. And actually it showed.

After thinking about it and remembering the day ... I don't recall any customer on the sales floor. And I popped open my cell phone quick cause my family had an emergency, But again W/E. I think they just wanted me gone. Their payroll has been getting cut week by week and I was expendable. I should have saw the writting on the wall, when for three straight weeks my hours went from 40 to 38 to 36 to the most recent 35. This was NOT including the lunch breaks that you take. So minus a half hour a day off of the 38, 36, and 35 and you have a shitty paycheck. The 40 hour paycheck had the half hour lunch factored in btw.

I hated that place anyway(all women). Constant nagging and backstabbing. Also, making a paltry ten bucks an hour. WTF is that shit?

Now I am on the HUNT again for a job. Fuck.

Hope it's nothing serious Pineapple :( Let us know.

My dad died from having a heart attack .. more specifically 10. He was a smoker and a drinker too. Was his one arm numb? Left specifically. Thats the tell take signs of one. Other than the face and breathing.

That sucks Advocate, $10/hour isn't worth the shit you are going thru, maybe it is better that way that you are outta there. At least you can collect unemployment while looking for another job. Good luck dude.

Pineapple, hope your dad is fine, my thoughts are with you and your family.

10 an hour for a man my age is shitty too.

When someone commits to assisting me on a film shoot, i fucking expect them to do it.

This specific person pulls the same bullshit. Commits to it, then doesnt answer his phoen calls, texts, IMs,anything, and pretends SOMEHOW that his phone and his computer lose his messages.

I am sorry but im not that fucking stupid. Your aim is online, and it has not gone idle. Answer your fucking messages, and either say you are, you are not, or piss the fuck off.
