The Ranting Thread!

[Renji]

Just wanna rant about a lot of stuff.

Earlier, my mom nagged at me because I've spent the money she left in the drawer. I really thought it was my allowance, but it turns out that it's not. Errrr!! I really hate when she say those "litanies".

I really don't know what's going on with people, starting thread titles like, "what's your biggest reason for being/ not being blah blah" . I don't know if it actually indicates something like the end of the world or something, it's just that I don't know what's going on with the minds of these people. But yeah, I got persuaded so I tried starting those kinds of threads too.

Topics are kinda boring lately. I don't know if it's because majority of 'hit threads' lately are those that goes "what's your biggest reason for being/ not being ...." It has become a "spectacular, hilarious hit" to the point that I wanna start another "Word Association" thread. But the condition is that a poster should connect the word with that funky phrase.:angel2:

Ok, I just wanna thank RF and my internet connection probably for this very wonderful message. It's so inspiring!

Ooh ranting! I can vent some more frustrations about my last boss. Who does she think she is anyway, making my working days absolutely miserable for the past month with her incessant lectures, commands and criticisms and then FIRING me when I never showed her anything but the utmost politeness and obedience, worked like the dickens all day long without any breaks, moved 7 yards of soil up a hill all by myself while she spent ALL DAY raking a 2' X 8' strip of topsoil flat! Banging on and on every day about all the tools I had to go out and buy for myself, even though she already had two of everything we needed. Giving me a conciliatory fish two days before she fired me - THAT'S RIGHT, A BIG FROZEN FISH - leaving me to ponder "what is the meaning of this fish?"

And while I'm at it, what's with the sun not being up when I wake up? If I can haul my tired, hungover *** out of bed at seven o'clock, you'd think the SUN - a giant flaming ball of gas that pumps out more raw energy every second than a BILLION nuclear reactors can pump out in a whole century - would be able to find it in itself to show a little leadership. And when it does come out, what business does it have lighting up all the brilliant fall colours in such a breathtaking manner while I'm stuck at work all day, only to turn everything into a drab gray monochrome fading to black before I get the chance to choke down a meal and rush out for a walk?

And wasps. Who do they think they are anyways?

 

[Renji]

I don't know why, but majority of company bosses have that kind of image.

 

[Renji]

I think bosses are more effective when they are approachable.

True, that. My new boss is a pothead. I can show up whenever I want, finish whenever I want and do whatever I think is best for his business when I get there. I'm starting office administration, accounting and scheduling procedures for him from scratch. The "office" looked very much like the inside of a dumpster when I started on Friday. All I needed to do was confirm I could listen to music and that there was no "system" in place already that he wanted to preserve. He was all "No - there's no system. However you want to tackle this is entirely up to you" and went off to work all day with his crew, leaving me to it. I was all "WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!! What an awesome job, and what an awesome boss!"

Random rant: In recent years, young women in audiences stopped cheering and start shouting "WOO!". This sounded weird. Now young men are doing it too. This sounds stupid.

Then you've never heard a crowd shout "YEEHAW!"

This christmas, give your boss a metal bikini. He might somehow change!

I also do that at times, but most of the time, its YEAH! instead of WOO or WOOHOO!

 

[Renji]

I don't know what's going on with the forum. Lately, all topics are about Christ, Christians and stuff. When will these people stop talking about it and talk about Justin Bieber?

 

[Renji]

This thread has helped me a lot. It reminds me that it is sometimes good to talk to yourself and respond to your own thread.

Wanna trade? You are more than welcome to have mine. I am a seam welder who's only been doing this since Feb and I already know more than my bosses. I honestly believe that they must share a brain cell. I have to be at work at 7 where as they might roll in around 9. Not to mention the fact that they take an hour+ lunch ... I only get 30. They might come back around 1 ... if they come back at all. One thing I can say is that I do get respect from them... sometimes. Most of the time my female boss looks for things that I'm doing wrong. For the that's a clue that I'm doing something 10 times better than she is. ^_^

Oh man that sounds familiar. Take my advice and keep looking while you work there.

In contrast, my grandfather never asked anything of his crew that he wasn't willing to do himself. Some things were so difficult or dangerous that he would do them himself rather than ask an employee. All the men who worked for him stayed with his company for life.

I never stopped really. ^_^

Hey guy, stop riding my $#% when I'm already going 80 and I'm passing a car beside me that's probably going 75. Yeah, it takes a moment, but just be patient and I *will* courteously get over so you can get by once I pass them. Otherwise, I *will* brake check you and/or deliberately drive as slow as possible next to said car such that you can't pass at all. Thanks

It ****** me off when people claim they are for equal rights, but are against portraying a gay couple on a kids series. I've got news for you. Kids are gay, lesbian and bi! And it must really suck to only see straight couples portrayed. There is nothing particularly adult about same-sex relationships. A girl kissing a girl or a boy kissing a boy is not less appropriate for kids to see than a boy kissing a girl. Featuring a same-sex couple does not make it a drama. Then, it ****** me off even more when the defense is that kids' series should not deal with controversial issues. But the people never want to follow through with the argument and say that, logically then, it would be wrong to have an interracial couple featured on kids' programming in the 1960's or in Alabama today. If you cannot say that interracial couples should not be featured, then you better not try to say homosexuality is different, because you already claimed not to be anti-gay. It infuriates me, because it is blatant hypocrisy. If you want to be a bigot, just say you do not believe same-sex relationships are equal to different-sex ones. Do not pretend to be non-prejudice.

Pour a few Guinnesses down my throat, put on some Irish Rovers (or any up-tempo folk music, really) and you'll start hearing good old-fashioned Irish "yeeeeEEEE!" whoops.

That may have been me. One of my pet peeves is people who drive in the passing lane.

Actually, I'm good about it if the person's actually passing someone, even if they're slower than my desired speed. But seriously: left lane hogs may be my biggest pet peeve. If there's an empty lane to your right (and I know there wasn't for you), this means you should move into it.

I started what I thought was an interesting thread, but nobody's replying to it... or even viewing it:

Ohhhh yeah, I hate slow people in the passing lane.
