The Whining and Bitching Thread

Lately the bathroom in my master bedroom smells like cigarettes when I use the fan. My wife and I both don't smoke. I wonder if someone smokes outside and it gets into the air ducts somehow. It's really fucking nasty.
 
Seriously considering changing internet providers. I've been paying more per month than they've been telling me it'd be, AND I've been getting shitty net service. Don't go with Bell.

This is the second time in a one-week span the modem has went down.
 
Is it the provided modem from the company or did you buy your own? The router/modem combo thing my provider gave me was absolute garbage. Went out and replaced it and haven't had much problem since.

This is what I need to do. It'll also be about the same price to buy one (which will be a one time purchase) as paying the monthly fee for the router/modem usage (which is ongoing). My brother in law recommended one to me but it has terrible reviews on Amazon so I need to figure that out. I may do that once my promotion is up next year.

I have service that comes through a cable connection, and as soon as I set up service I went and bought a fast cable modem and separately a good router. Took two years for it to pay for itself via reduced fees but I've had zero issues, and I can separately replace either if new wifi tech comes out etc. Most combo modem/routers are shitty, but especially the ones they "give" you.
 
I thought it was comical the combo box they gave me weighed much less than the router or modem I bought separately.

Just using the one they gave me. I wouldn't have any idea as to what's good and what's not when it comes to getting my own.

All I know is I've been paying per month for a service when it's been up and down like a hooker's skirt, and it's ridiculous. Told them this too. So probably gonna call their billing department and have them credit me a free month since it's literally went down every week for a month.

Once there was a problem with the line outside our house (they sent technicians and were going to charge me for it before I seriously objected), a couple of those times the Bell servers were down. The other time I don't even know what the problem was cause I had to go to work, but that time it was working by the time I got home.
 
Finally got a decent offer on a new job. But it's 1099 and one less day a week, so taking it would be counting on my current position being cool with me going down to a day and a half a week instead of outright quitting. It's a really awesome gig, my aunt knows the guy and he's just a cool old school Italian construction worker. I'd basically sit in an office by myself most of the time jamming out and doing the accounting/managing.

This is my first job change since having a car payment and rent, so it's rough. Decisions decisions.

Still hate my job, still looking. I've had four offers of employment since I started, within the pay range I'm seeking, and I turned them all down because I didn't want to work weekends or the drive is too far. But fuck that. I have another interview today and I hate where I'm at so thoroughly that I'll fucking work weekends and drive an hour every morning if the pay is right. I don't have kids. My relationship isn't in jeopardy. My car is new and runs fine.

I am so thirsty for knowledge and full of ambition the longer I stay at this dead end convoluted position. In a way, I'm thankful for how insulting and entry level this admittedly well paying job has been, because it reminded me how much more I want out of life and myself.

So this is simultaneous bitching and hoping. But mainly, I hate my job, and I think I've expressed thoroughly before exactly why.

This is why I posted for another job at work. I've told my current boss I'm bored and I need to be more challenged and it falls on deaf ears. He gave me one thing and I've already mastered it 2 months later. Fuck that, I'll go where I have room to grow and use my brain. I've never been in IT and would like to experience that side of the business. That and it's a pay increase.

Is it just me, or are people getting increasingly incapable of taking a simple joke? Today at band camp, I made a rude joke. This rude joke was directed at a girl. Here is what I said: "If you can't play the part, I'll play it". She immediately burst into tears and ran out of the room. I did nothing that necessitated that extreme of an emotional response. A simple, half joking "fuck off" would be sufficient.

Guess what? This particular situation repeated itself again today. Another girl was telling everyone what to do on the field, and I told her she should audition to be drum major next year. She found that offensive, and was "extremely upset" by it. She asked for an apology, which I did not give because that would be like taking back what I said, and what I said was serious. She has no reason to be bossing people around like that.
 
This guy is a pompous ass, but when he's right he's right:
