Is it truly that unreasonable to try to express your frustration and disappointment over something without getting barraged with a list of reasons why it's your own damned fault?!?!

I just wanted to spend time with my family. I don't need to hear how it's my fault I got disinvited on their last day here!!!

Despite weeks of me attempting to make it less shippy, this vid refuses to be anything else. I still ship them both with James Watson, though!!! *protests too much and suddenly has threesomes on the brain*

Anyhow, the song is the Sixpence None the Richer cover of "Don't Dream It's Over" and the theme is the fact that no one will ever be able to ( Read more... )

so i made a Sanctuary fanvid to "The Call" by Regina Spektor and assumed that since there are dozens of vids with the song up on youtube, it would be all good. but, no joy. a week of work wasted because WMG insists on blocking it. i really, really hate these people with a passion...

no, i haven't been fired or laid off or quit (although, freaking hell, do I wish I had quit before now) but, Walmart's been slashing everyone's hours lately. Last week, and for the next two weeks, I have 24 hours a week. The week of Halloween, I have NINE HOURS. All week.

So I get home from work today and I have a voice mail from my credit card company. My credit line has been slashed from $6,500 to $800. I spent 2 hours BEGGING seven different CSRs (customer service reps my ass) to explain to me why (and, I might add, terrified that my identity had been stolen or something). Not only did I not get an answer, but ( Read more... )

For new definitions of FUBAR, look no further than the fact that today, when I was not hauling freight (which, according to the portable computers, doesn't exist) in and out of the freezers, I was showing new hires the ropes (when, you know, I haven't actually been shown said ropes myself). I will be in the corner banging my head against the wall ( Read more... )

So I'm probably already grumpier today than I would be because I was up past 3:00am ficcing (the muses have time travel on the brain and I want the fic done before season 3 begins airing because I'm weird like that) and the grounds-keeping crew for the complex started with their freaking leaf blowers and mulchers promptly at 0800 (before the sun ( Read more... )

This is a rant against AT&T produced merely for the purpose of venting, so feel free to skip it.

( ranty rant is ranty )

I try to have fun; I really do. Otherwise I wouldn't have spent an ass-load of money on that stupid game Con (about $80 for my pass and tickets), rented a car ($230), gotten a hotel ($90 a night), driven to fracking Columbus (a tank and a half of gas) when I hate highway driving, spent more than 5 hours in line to get my tickets, and then showed up ( Read more... )
