Josh is correct.
Excuses bug me. One of my guys was in court for a speeding ticket yesterday and I guess this lady was in there talking about, "Well I just lost my job, and then my uncle got sick so I had to take care of him, and..." blah blah blah. I hate that bullshit. Take responsibility for your actions.
If I'm at work and my boss tells me that I screwed something up I say, "My fault; it won't happen again. If I have a question about that in the future, can I consult with you?"
What's so hard about that shit?
Most people aren't mature adults. They don't understand the concept of taking responsibility.Quote:

Part 2 of my root canal on the same tooth. I feel more of the procedure today, and my dentist will seal it in 2 weeks. Then I will have a cleaning and hope she doesn't find any other cavities. Yikes.
Never had a root canal thank god.
I've been having to carry my group in my business class all summer long. This is a Capstone class and they don't know shit about business still! I'm going to end up writing our group paper (20% of our grade) because they're still dragging their feet and it's due Monday when we take the exam. Why is it that Art/Design/Tech majors have the option to do solo or group work for their Capstone, but Business majors are forced into a group where you know most of them slack off.
Working in a group (even with slackers) can be argued as "real world" experience, but any company would have fired them after 8 weeks of doing nothing at all.
Don't be so sure, we give pretty much everybody a year.
I think I would just have the fucker pulled and replaced with a gold toof at this point.Quote:

Not saying your wrong about this most of the time but depending on the person's size that isn't necessarily lethal. I've been near those numbers in about an hour but I'm also a pretty big hombre.Quote:

It's not nearly as bad as the people who sympathize with everything. There's this one woman whose every other sentence is "oh hun, I know how it feels." I could say I had nut cancer and she would say "I know exactly what you're going through." I bet she listens to nothing but inspirational music.
My head is filled with unimaginable dehydrated pain.
I blame the last shot of tequila burg bought while I was leaving. (maybe the long island iced tea that destin/ramon threw at me?) Now I have 8 hours of concert to stand through. It's going to be a loooong day. A fucking awesome day, but an awesome day no less.

It may be that you spent a lot of time on TNL and one of your network guys blocked it.Quote:

Soviet Union imo.

ZUGDIDI, Georgia (AP) — Russian tanks roared deep into Georgia on Monday, launching a new western front in the conflict, and Russian planes staged air raids that sent people screaming and fleeing for cover in some towns. The escalating warfare brought sharp words from President Bush, who pressed Moscow to accept an immediate cease-fire and pull its troops out to avert a "dramatic and brutal escalation" of violence in the former Soviet republic.

Good luck at the interview! :)
so remember last week, alcoholic friend collapses on dance floor kicked out taken away in ambulance and i want to ban him?
He just texted me "hey, can you get me in tonight? i promise i wont drink"
I was also told he went out drinking again the night after the whole ambulance dilemma.
Some fucking people, jeees.
My mom's leaving for Florida on Saturday to get major back surgery done. I'm pretty worried about it since I won't be there to see her. I'm going out to breakfast with her tomorrow to get all the details. :(
Want? Did you not? Please tell me you told him no.Quote:

Surgery on the ear in about 7 hours. Hopefully I will be able to hear somewhat better out of my left ear, but I suppose it can't get much worse than it is now.
In a fire, I might add.Quote:

i wasnt going to, the post was going for more of the "can you believe this guy is asking me this... wow" kinda thing.Quote:

Yeah, I hate doing that too.
Maybe it was the raining part that was bugging him?
Even then that's such an asshole post for this thread. Tone's post is what's bugging me today. Asshole.
So I got engaged.
Congrats?
And thats bugging you?Quote:

I had a plastic taste for a little while cause of the breathing tube. Now my throats just sore.
That's not because of the breathing tube. Dudes went to town on you while you were knocked out.
That's what I was thinking.
Well that really sucks, but not as much as the pain that just popped into my ear right now.Quote:

Edit: I'm aware overutilized isn't a word. However, I felt it's inclusion was necessary to adequately capture the sheer negrosity of my sentiment.
Here's whats bugging me.
My sister was robbed Sunday, by my nephews friends. They broke in her house and started to take all of her possessions. She was home, due to calling out sick and the guys who did this thought she was not home. My sister was home heard and grabbed my youngest niece and hid in the closet. She called 911, luckily they were caught. The two burglars were over a week earlier and that's when unknown to my nephew they scoped out the place. Oh and they were released they made bail and the bail was small, cause its their first ever arrest.
My niece is now scared of the home ... she's only 6.
So, my nephew is pissed and wants to kill them ... well he can't he's in the hospital. Why? Well, he broke his arm about a month ago and got pins in his arm. Well the pins got infected. So, the doc prescribed Penicillin ... guess what ... he's allergic, no one knew. So, he broke out in a rash, his throat closed up, and his tongue swelled he almost died of suffocation. Awesome.
It bugs me that my life is filled with nothing, but bad luck.
I thought you hated your sis. Did you consider putting this in the good day thread?

Force yourself to write one song per day, even if the song sucks. I was doing this when I could and I got some quality tunes from it... Billy Joel does this and he writes tons of quality tunes.Quote:

Sorry to read about that Advo....
I needed a CD in order to fix some laptops at work. This disc was supposedly shipped out on Monday to arrive Tuesday. Yesterday I find out the person it was supposedly given to to ship to me has been out all week and was sending it that day. It's now 12:30, the CD still hasn't arrived, and I have roughly 6 hours of work that can't be started until I receive it. These laptops have to be sent to different states and arrive on Monday so they need to go out this weekend, which means I'm working late tonight and then have to come in on Saturday.
Now, I could essentially trade hours and then not come in for a day next week so this is normally no big deal, but my girlfriend is moving back here today and I'm supposed to help her unload tonight and tomorrow and I have other obligations tomorrow I needed to help with. So now I can't help my friends get their shit done because someone else was a fucking retard and tried to pass the buck. The guy that did this needs help from me all the time, so I'm not exactly sure why he took it upon himself to fuck me like this.
I'm the only fucking idiot still in his house on a Friday night because I thought my phone was in my pocket when in actuality it was on my nightstand, so I missed nine calls and here I am.
You posted this at 11. The night was still young. That's when people actually go out.Quote:

I have a massive migrane, I cannot focus on anything without increasing the pain, my sense of balance is off, and the pain pulses. When it gets at its worst my body tries to throw up, but can't. I started feeling my lunch come up 3 times tonight so far.
Also the painkiller I'm on for it does nothing but make my mouth taste interesting.
So I moved in to MD but the 5 hour drive apparently fucked my mouse on the way. Now my left/middle/right click needs to be pressed like 8 times to actually register. It gets annoying fast. Stupid mouse. It moves just fine, but the clicks are stupid. :(
You try triptans? Or heavy doses of caffeine? That will abort a migraine for me some of the time :(Quote:
