this coffee tastes like ass

So, we're making pop can birds in 3D art. The worst part is cutting all the cans 'cause they're usually all gross, sticky, and you're likely to cut yourself on them (which I've already done 3 times). I could've finished cutting all my cans (about 6 left), but instead of actually working we had to waste time watching a boring documentary on Mt Rushmore.

I got about a weeks worth of work for catching up in these classes.

Thanks to the...less than perfect layout of my former boss and lady-who-screwed-me-out-of-my-shop-but-still-has-me-work-in-it's shop, I wasn't able to see when a woman came in, picked up a Â£45 corset and Â£20 skirt and WALKED OUT WITH THEM.

By less-than-perfect, I mean that the till is at right-angles to the entrance - which is fine - but there's a LOVELY big rack of hangers and a WONDERFUL display cabinat blocking off the view of most of the shop. If there's one or two people in, I can keep an eye on it so long as I stand up and crane. When six people are in my shop, I have no fucking chance.

Pissartists.

I was on the subway and two guys started beating up this latino and everyone just did nothing and watched and you wanna know why? just because he asked two black girls if they could move their bags for him to sit down, they said no so he moved the bags for them and said sorry, then those two big scary black guys came over and held him down and started hitting him and the girls cheered them on! i mean WTF? and even more, i guess they had to show how big and macho they were, claiming that he was being racist because he moved their bags! wtf?

They ran off when the cops showed up though, chickenshit idiots and i went with him to the hospital. Good thing, there's no damage done and he'll be okay in a week or two, just some bruises, cuts and a black eye.

I hate society sometimes!

Damn. Well good for you for going with him, mikey.

tears~fall~like~glass · Mon Mar 08, 2010 6:08 am

I got to spend about three hours in the hospital today. It's not so much that I minded going with Matt, his mom, and son to the hospital since his son really did need to go (probably has strep). It's that I could live without dealing with Matt's ex, considering that I just want to have her face meet the floor everytime I hear the sound of her voice. ><

Okay. Need to vent. I donâ€™t smoke, but I have today. Why? This day tastes like ass! The whole weekend, in fact. We were doing a special section for the paper, which is always a pain, but this year is an extra pain since ad revenues are down with the recession, tensions are highâ€¦ yadda, yadda.

We ended up pushing the deadline on this thing to have more time to work on it, but in this extra weekâ€¦ I donâ€™t even know what the advertising person was doing. Well, no, I do know. Sheâ€™s doing the job of the press guy who quit last month, on top of her own job. And donâ€™t get me wrong, I love her to death, but she has more personal problems than any one person should ever have, and 55,000 responsibilities at work. So I get that she had a hard time getting her shit together for this section. However, since she was late getting stuff to the graphic design guy (who is new and still doesnâ€™t know what heâ€™s doing either), he couldnâ€™t get the ads done, which means I couldnâ€™t get the section laid out.

Also, advertisers were dropping like flies over the weekend as they couldnâ€™t get their shit together to give to the ad person for her to give to the graphic designer, even though theyâ€™d all had a week longer to get said shit together. I scrambled to find things to shove in all these new leaky holes, even sitting up at home and BSing a summary article based on stories I had previously written mixed in with a few new and exciting (dripping sarcasm) financial numbers from the county government. Then when I saved the file, it promptly turned into Microsoft Word salad and I literally burst into tears. Luckily, my husband was able to save the file.

Oh, and by the way, we didnâ€™t even need that file after all! This morning, the boss comes in and promptly blows a fuse, although I must say heâ€™s been shockingly nice to me about it â€“ lucky for him, since I might just quit if he looks cross-eyed at me today â€“ and cuts eight pages out of the section to make up for all the ads lost over the weekend (which by the way I had suggested Saturday, but oooooh, no, the ad chick didn't want to do that...). Oh, and have I mentioned the graphics guy was working until after 10 p.m. Sunday night and still didnâ€™t get all the ads done? Theyâ€™re still not all done as I write this. The good news is, I donâ€™t have to go find more filler content; the bad news is that I didnâ€™t need to spend so much time Saturday angsting over finding said filler content. Also bad news is I have to redo THE WHOLE THING.

Motherfucker! I need a drink on top of that cigarette.

WANT!

wirring in my car is fucked -.- so one more fucking thing to fix...... FML

tears~fall~like~glass · Tue Mar 09, 2010 3:58 am

I pulled a muscle or nerve or something in my shoulder when I woke up today, and the ibuprofen did nothing for the pain.

And yeah, car wiring also sucks 'cause it means I have to start driving again, or we have to be wherever before it's dark. No dash or tail lights, FTL.

Dad in hospital tomorrow for the 24hr heart tracer to find out what's wrong with him.

Foster uncle in hospital tomorrow after having a suspected stroke today.

My best friend in the whole wide world has some sort of GROWTH on his frikkin' EYE and he isn't sure he and his family will be able to cover the money for the meds he needs. He has to wear an eye patch and will probably have lasting obvious scarring on his eye.

My unemployed uncle was recently diagnosed with BRAIN CANCER. They got the biggest tumors out, but he won't be able to have radiation therapy until next week. He was supposed to have it three weeks ago.

My grandpa just had some kind of SKIN CANCER removed from his cheek.

My youth leader's father just DIED.

My aunt is moving to Boston and she was able to sell her house, but the new owner wants her moved out TWO MONTHS before the end of her teaching job.

My grandparents haven't been able to sell their old house and so are renting it out and paying TWO MORTGAGES without any real stable income.

Money is short all around and life is being stupid to my friends and family.

I don't have any new books to read.

And I'm broke and can no longer buy any more comics to take me away from my misery.

....sigh....

had a nightmare last night (yes i'm just now posting this... had a busy day. LOL). and since my dreams are extremely EXTREMELY vivid and detailed always and without fail... my nightmares are just the same...

extra ass: didn't even get to finish the nightmare to see if it ended up ok in the end... my grandmother woke me up

buuuuuut she's gone back home now, so that shouldn't happen again... unless of course my daughter does it... >< but she wakes me up from the best dreams most of the time. LOL.

Feeling a bit backstabbed by a client's family, and there's not a dang thing I can do about it.

One of my daughter's classmates was killed in a car accident Monday evening. Things like that shouldn't happen.

I'm so sorry, Neling. That's very sad. I hope your daughter is doing okay.

Ult_Sm86 · Post by **Ult_Sm86** » Fri Mar 12, 2010 7:34 pm

Neling, that is truly sad, and unfair. I hope your daughter finds a way to handle the death and remember her friend. I've seen this situation first hand and it truly is just unfair.

neling4 · Post by **neling4** » Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:49 pm

Thank you everyone. They were not close friends, but my daughter did know her, and was deeply affected by the death of a classmate. It is the girl's family, especially the mother, who will suffer the most. She was driving when the accident occurred, and, the last I heard, was still in critical condition at the hospital. I don't know if she even knows yet.

The person who caused the accident is already out of the hospital. I hope, at the very least, that he is never allowed to drive again.
