Bitter cold outside. Temperature and the age of a high school student should never be the same number.
Things that frustrate us all
- Thread starter rhubarbodendron
- Start date
I assume that's Fahrenheit and not Celsius.
Most definitely.
If the temp here was about my age I'd be dead by overheating!
On the celcius scale of course.

The first restaurant to sell wine by the box would make a fortune.
Don't tell that Quark!
Being a big fan of K-9 I find this the nicest form of dogmatism (or, in fact, the only nice one).
Argh of the day: my boss seems to be convinced I can work miracles. It's propably only a matter of days till he starts to assume I can walk on water.
It'd be easier the other way round 
I don't expect everybody to be a English major, but I do expect them to at least try.
So when I see things like this exchange written on a portable potty wall, I weep for the language.
Somebody wrote on the sticker where the person who "cleans" the potty writes a date: "you fired"
Now, that's bad on it's own, but what it was followed up with by somebody else is just dumbfounding: "Iogree"

Had very frustrating experience with landlord this week.
He said he saw a water leakage under my apartment in the basement that was increasing water bills. Now, I only ever go there if I need to reset the circuit breaker which is rare, and there was no leak in my apartment, so I had no idea it was there.
He comes into my unit to look for other leaks and complains about cleanliness. Now, my apartment is not that dirty. There is a lot of clutter, but any dirt and grime is cleaned and absolutely no food crumbs are left out. And if you saw the living spaces of every single person I’ve ever lived with including roommates and parents, you’d say my apartment was on the neat side. My dad’s house has decades of clutter and even a smashed up bathroom sink. By all my experience with any other humans, my apartment is relatively clean. But to HIS standards it's apparently a pigsty. So he goes off on me about not maintaining my apartment and “wasting his money”. I basically have a week to make it look like I have a maid.
And even what he says wouldn’t be too unreasonable, except he’s a person who can’t discuss any issue of any magnitude without adopting a tone that’s condescending and completely unempathetic.
I think I just need to buy a house and not have to deal with this shit.

One also has to ask why to people feel the need to write on the walls in toilets? Sure it might not be their property but surely one should treat other peoples property how you would expect people to treat your property.
^ you take your keys or a pen and stab madly at that little circle until it opens.

Starting a new second job to augment my income tomorrow. "Don't wear black". Great. There goes more than half of my wardrobe. 
My last second job was third shift (overnight). My new second job is the exact opposite. I have to be there at 5:30 in the morning.
