Miscellaneous Rants Part V

[Shnouzerpuff]

^^ Tthe bayonet style lightbulb came about because the screw-in type was the norm, but there were various problems in industry and such that the bulbs would slowly but surely come unscrewed, causing a hazard.

I know for example that the light below the motor that powers my electric garage door vibrates to such a level that if it was a screw in bulb, as opposed to bayonet, it would only be a matter of time before the light would worm its way out of the threading and drop down.

...maybe even taking out an eye.




BTW this is all one giant lie that I made up. I have no idea why there are 2 types.

I downloaded some Sage Francis and Atmosphere. Brilliant! Good job!

Me rikey!

Stupid fuckers who change lanes or pull over before (or without) indicating.

 

[BREAKaBEAT]

^^ Thats not a rant. That is a baby sook attention seeking crap.

 

[katmeow]

Shut up... you don't drive... you don't know how irritating (and dangerous) it can be

 

[BREAKaBEAT]

Oh no, that was directed at starfalls !!!

 

[Naughtiest_Maximus]

^^^ Did you scroll past the pics in that link to the entry below? If what happened to Starfalls had happened to me i would be pissed off and ranting to anyone who was unlucky enough to come anywhere near me.

 

[lok1]

my rant is again work related.

why the hell do people automatically assume if something is amiss it's my fault??? i wake up this morning to a phone call (at 8:30am no less) about "we're missing 13 gift vouchers from yesterday, do you know anything about it?". clearly i don't. i turn up to work at two that afternoon to do some paperwork, get told the lady in the office fucked up and put them in the wrong category in her computer. she fucks up and instead of checking their shit to make sure they didnt make a mistake they automatically assume i've fucked up somewhere.

GUESS WHAT FUCKERS--- I DIDN'T! IT'S SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT!!!!!

That happened to me too, but in a different set of circimstances
My boss hates me because im lazy (not really, theres just no work to do out the back)

There was something left at the restuarant (im a delivery boy) and i was on my way to the delivery... so my boss calls me up. Now, im driving, so i miss the turn-off onto the freeway, travel up the road a few minutes, pull over, double check the package, waste my money calling my boss back and telling him its not me, then have to double back to get on the freeway (this is just before 6pm, so theres shitloads of traffic)
i ended up being 10 minutes late to the delivery because he automaticly assumes ive fucked up
i dont even care about the petrol or the phone call, its just annoying wasting my time

Nope I only saw some sooky pictures. I guess her post below certainly does rate as a rant ! Sorry !

i recently decided to quit uni and move to where i'd been offered casual work.
since i'm reliant on centrelink to survive, i first went to my local office and thoroughly explained what i was about to do to ensure that it would not affect my payment and that everything would still be fine. i was assured that all was in order and all i needed to do was go into the local office when i moved and change my address and provide them with proof fom my employer that i had a job starting soon.

so i quit uni, i ended my lease early and i paid to move all my stuff 12 hours away. i have not one fucking cent to my name until i'm paid tomorrow.

today i rang centrelink to tell them my new address and remind them that my situation has changed - it's pay day tomorrow so i was being all responsible, i don't want them to overpay me or anything.

so i explain the current situation to this guy.
he tells me i'm not longer eligible for centrelink benefits.

UMM, HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT MYSELF FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS UNTIL I START WORK????? IT'S A CASUAL JOB, WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO FOR MONEY WHEN THERE IS NO WORK???

at least i can find comfort in the fact that i'm 98% certain that he's completely fucking wrong.
but oh my god it is insanely frustrating to be told a different thing every 5 seconds. (this was, by the way my second phonecall with centrelink today and this guy said virtually the exact fucking opposite of what i was told earlier).

so tomorrow i get to go to centrelink bright and early and sort this stuff out. and if that guy was wrong by telling me i'm no longer eligible for payments i'll be asking for an apology becuase boy oh boy has he well and truley fucked up my day and made my stress levels rise through the roof.

i wonder if they'd let me punch him in the face in lieu of an apology?

^^^^^
This website is only big enough for one pumping stick man....

Grrrrr.

 

[discopimp]

it is a pretty big website.

maybe if we stick on opposite ends of it we should be fine, until there comes along one day a female stick pumper that will get inbetween us both. only then shall we fight over stickman-ship of bluelight.

until then im happy to keep pumping along if you are

 

[xcidium]

well....

your the light (white) pumper
and
i'm the dark (black) pumper.
Kinda like starwars in a weird message board sort of way.

We may need to resort to a duel of pumping, in accordance with the IPF (international pumping federation) rules, but we'll pump err I mean cross that bridge when we get to it.

PS: Welcome to BL! <---- in the non-friendliest way possible.

 

[kandyraverchick]

I wouldn't be down with it.

And on the topic of centrelink... has anyone else noticed that fucking annoying thing that happens on the phone where you're on hold and it starts to ring, so you think you're going through to a rep, but instead it just goes into another one of their ads.

It's like the boy who cried wolf... when you finally do get through to a person, you're too stunned to speak.


My rant: I gave a presentation today and as part of it I split the class in two and gave them each on side of an argument to debate. They had 2 minutes to come up with 3 - 4 points. The side with the easiest option spent the 2 minutes talking, so I thought they must have come up with at least one point. Nope, their turn came and they all refused to speak.

Fuckers - I'm so not helping out when they have to stand up there trying to make sociological theory sound interesting for an hour!!

 

[UnSquare]

Fuck Y'all

Damn, I thought UnSq was 2 cool untill he gave props to 50cents....

Next time you get shot a bit,
crawl out of some shit ghetto,
and make a goggleplex dollo's...
...no matter how much I don't like yo' bite-ass rhymes,
I'll still give you a thumbs up.

PEACE

My ex had centerlink people scared of her. My housemate who went with her when she won the right to an extra years austudy to complete her postgrad degree said the next time he went in there the guy they dealt with looked really scared until he realsied she wasn't with him!! . It helps knowing centerlink policy better than the goons that work there
