Hey Zeus!!!!    I'm sooooo angry at this moment. . .   Murphy's law is taking hold like crazy today and I'm about to bust. . .       


So, it will cost me 55.00 to have some idiot come out and say 'Yup, it won't quit filling, we have to fix this part', then I still have no clue as to how much the repair is going to cost!!!

I did find something to bring a smile to my face!!  The link above is a must read and for added enjoyment click on the link that says, 'sacred Samurai scripture of appliance repair'.

I get extremely irritated with everything being automated, too.

Seems like they've been leaving out the, "Press 9 to speak with a real person".

Grrrrr. :icon_evil:

I am about ready to strangle insight! I set up my home network this last weekend and everything was working fine until yesterday. . . Now, dial up would be quicker! I cannot even get the home page to load so I can "chat" with a customer service rep to find out what the hell they've done to the system . . :mad: :mad: :mad:

(Good thing work is paying for my broadband now). . . :icon_evil: :mad:

This freakin moron had the nerve to give me the finger because I almost hit her car she says.

Event: Taking a friends children to school.

Characters: Myself,some stupid @$$,and the school guard who does traffic control.

Problem: I already dropped the kiddos off and I am waiting to be flagged that I am to go. The guard stops traffic and flags ME to go. She points to me and waves me towards her. That means Hello you go now. So I start to go when some  :rant: decides she wants to go instead of waiting as the handheld STOP SIGN says for her to do. So she has the nerve to lay on her horn,give me the finger and mouth movement like so---> :rant: . I went ahead and went after her dumb@$$ finally went(even though she made a point to stop and cuss me,....). I said oh hell naw. So I turned around and went back to the school. I seen her getting out of her car so I got out. I said let me tell you something you stupid (this is me now----------> :rant:) when the guard has the STOP sign on YOU then YOU STOP you  :rant: and next time you want to give someone the finger for being a dumb@$$ then you can stick it up your own @$$!  She said well I am late for class I am a teacher here. I thought I was going to die because a teacher would act like that in front of others that know her,because those are not my children nor their school,but the other people there KNOW her.  Anyhow I said well that's all the more reason you shouldn't be such a stupid @$$! If you teach like you drive then you must have some pretty pissed off parents! She just looked at me so I got back in my car. As I was leaving the guard was flagging me down so I stopped. She said Mam I am so sorry Sheila did that. I will have a talk with her and her boss. I said well you do what you need to but I bet she thinks twice about doing it again since I just jumped her @$$ over it. She said that wasn't the first time that teacher ignored her Stop sign AND I didn't know that moron went around 4 other cars just to go when she was stopped.  :spooked: Ok I'm done.  :biggrin:

Sounds like Sheila needs to get out of bed and on the road earlier in the morning.

I will say this, though...while I can understand the need for teachers to be punctual, school administrators are ridiculous in how they sometimes enforce that.  A friend of mine is a teacher (with a doctorate in education) and the school has a secretary stand at the door and give them a red check if they are even a minute late...not a good strategy for retaining your professional staff, IMHO.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

She wasn't late is the thing. School starts @ 9:05. It was 8:27.

School starts for the students at 9:05; the teachers are expected to be there well before that.
