hey shitty things about today

[xfer]

* $50 parking ticket for parking in a restricted zone in the parking garage at my work. when i parked, i carefully got out and walked round to make sure there was no sign saying the zone was restricted or handicapped--nothing. apparently, the whole left second floor is restricted parking. the guard told me "just park in the garage" with the visitor pass he gave me. wtf.

* called RCN and found that they claimed to have sent the mailer i paid $15 for two months ago (to return an extra cable box in), even though i never got it. they will send another for free, but they refuse to credit me for the extra two months' rental of the cable box.

i hate too much to go searching for the "i hate" smiley.

* couldn't hear the professor in my class because he had a sore throat, and felt embarassed about continually asking him to speak up. so i wasted probably half of the 2.5 hours and i'm not sure what i missed about our assignments. also i think my hearing is shot from loud rock shows or something.

* pissed at everyone and everything

sometimes i wish i could get out negative emotions through violence. like now. instead, i can only mope and stew.

 

[Astral Poetry]

You forgot "fester".

 

[xfer]

or furunculate.

or is it furnuculate? is that a word?

 

[Astral Poetry]

Not to my knowledge, but I certainly hope it is. I plan on using it in each and every sentence from now on.
"Yesterday I had a slice of cake and furunculate."
"Dude, he didn't wear a rubber and now he contracted furunculate!"
"Yesterday my grandma and I had a wonderful furunculate together."
And thats just a taste of what's to come!

Welcome to driving in Boston, Alex.

one thing I don't miss about my home territory.

hey alex, here's something shitty: our director announced yesterday a cash award based upon employee voting for the employees nominated for peer awards. her secretary left my name off the list.

I have already complained.

 

[FalseTodd]

A popularity contest? For cash?

 

[lizard]

A popularity contest? For cash?

 

[lizard]

aargh I'm playing with the pda excuse blank post above I pressed the wrong button.

yes this cash for votes thing is rife with potential controversy.

 

[minxnim]

poor alex

lizard, berklee has something similar to that as well. what happens is that the staff are supposed nominate outstanding people in offices to receive this recognition award with money and a trophy of sorts.

the downside is that you really have to be social with other people in other offices so that when it comes time they will remember you to nominate. but when you don't socialize with other offices like me, then you basically get screwed out of getting one even when i know i did more for the school than the people who won.

its a total popularity contest and i frankly don't care to try and win that way,

My car is kinda long + wide. So, I tried to straighten it out in the one lot near this side of campus. As I was doing this, people pulled into position to take the space. Most left when I waved them past. The token SUV driver showed up. End result: five minutes late.

 

[FalseTodd]

Man, Lizard, Greg. That is the worst fucking idea I've ever heard.

 

[Baliset]

i keep hoping i win because the money award is $750 but again i don't bother with all the other crap involved with getting it.

 

[Baliset]

and regardless we get a length of service award every year too in conjunction with that award ceremony where we each get like $100 so everyone gets money but you have to really work it to get the big prize.
