Performance Evaluation time at work.

I wish there were some kind of alternative offered. like, you can either go talk to your supervisor about what you think you're good at and what you think you need to do to improve your work, blah blah...OR you have option B, go crash your face through the side of a beehive and keep it in there for at least 3 minutes.

"ooh ooh! beehive please? thanks, I'll get this done right away."

I can, right now, by looking out my window, count no less than 16 boats full of people poking around on the water and having a good time.

which obviously is a "gives me a happy!" re: my apartment, but WHY THE FUCK AM I SITTING HERE ON MY COMPUTER AND NOT SAILING A CUTE LITTLE BOAT AROUND OUT THERE WITH SOME OTHER LOSER WATCHING ME WISTFULLY??

and I know the answer to that: because they moved my interview over by a week down at the seaport museum. I was supposed to be there. right now, at 9 AM.

bork!

I just watched last night's Peep Show. The more I think about it, the more difficult I find it to believe that they went through the whole production process without anyone pointing out what an UNBELIEVABLY STUPID IDEA that was for a story line.

A combination of drunkenness, a casual disregard for one's empties and time has led to me now living in a minefield of aluminium.

Seriously. The room this computer is in plays a tune when you walk through it. It's not a very good tune, and it REALLY FUCKING HURTS YOUR FEET to hear it.

I have a big green box for recycling. It's full of cans. This spiky metal carpet will not go away until that one gets taken away. Which, on past record, could actually take weeks, the daily pickup I'm pretty sure I actually pay for being somewhat, well, IMAGINARY.

i don't mean to be pragmatic or anything, but could you crush the cans and then fit them all in the recycling bin? or does your refuse service object to crushed cans?

Does your local liquor store take in empties and recycle them? They do that here, but I don't know how it works in the UK.

FFS! I am fully aware that there ARE recycling solutions. And I will be taking advantage of them (eventually I'll probably take them all in a few huge binbag trips to the recycling place up the road).

That is SO not the point.

OK, to actually spell this shit out- it's annoying that I am too much of a fuckup to sort this out as and when needed.

It's also annoying that when I DO they just end up not getting collected for days on end.

LOOK. I GET THAT THERE ARE PLACES TO RECYCLE SHIT AND I CAN AND WILL DO SO, BUT I'LL GET PISSY WHEN THE PEOPLE I PAY TO DO SO FOR ME FUCK UP ON IT.

It just annoys me, is all.

I'm not arsey or looking for advice. I'm frowning.

Erm, sorry. Didn't mean to yell at anyone there. And, well, even crushed this is a LOT of aluminium we're talking about here. Believe me.


Sorry I got shouty. I seem to do that a lot recently. I... well, probably shouldn't.

In my college days, me and my friends used to play a game we called "zen can crushing", in which we placed empty aluminium cans on the ground (usually beer cans), visualize everything that was annoying/bugging us (at the time, professors and exams were the main target, though bad relationships and corrupt politicians were fair game), projected it into the can, focused our attention in it, and then we crushed it with one quick stroke of our feet, followed by a long, relaxing, exhale. It made the task of crushing the cans less boring, and it was even a bit therapeutical.

Not to mention it had some very funny/messy results when we did it drunk.

Anyway, I totally recomend it, Stoatie

Just normal work grumbles today. I suspect my job would be more pleasant if it included a laser pistol and perhaps some behaviour modification equipment.

Being obsessively interested in another country's niche subculture can be a hard road when you share air with some of its other... admirers.

(Not hyperlinking, I've heard some people here would rather we didn't show up in their referral logs.)

"I noticed that 99% of these cartoons feature white people, or at least white people with Japanese names. I guess the Japs themselves realize that they're uninteresting and not believable as super heroes.

There are also hints at white supremacy in some of them. In Dragon Ball Z they would start off with black hair and eyes, then power-up and transform into a blond-haired, blue-eyed Aryan called a "Super Saiyan". SS for short. (Get it, "SS". )
"

There's not enough facepalm in the world some days.

Anything from St*rmfront should automatically go in the Urgh Fuck thread. BY ORDER.

I hesitated over that on the strength that the BLINDED BY SCIENCE threadlet still could have some juice left, and I didn't want my weeaboo tunnel-vision putting a crimp in it.

I think about these things. Not about other things, understand, just these things.

I was just thinking about Stormfront the other day.

I remember when it was just a local BBS. I think I may have technically been a troll on there. I was definitely there under false pretenses, and began assuming everyone else was, too.

Well, I'd take the balmy days and cool-ish nights over the hell that has decided to inflict itself early over here.

How high is the temperature in your area, Kali? We got over 30°C here.

I just realized, last night, that I have managed to drink a twelve-hundred dollar poetry grant in a little over a month and I am quite unsure how to feel about that.

Firstly, the university can scarcely blame a man for misappropriating poetry funds for liquor without appearing staggeringly naive. In fact, I'm sure there would be some who would respond by inquiring, "There's a difference?"

What's more, I did so with all due care. The very few times that I went on actual benders I did so in places and contexts that ensured I would not be driving or engaging in other similarly dangerous activities. It really is amazing how much you can spend drinking with complete responsibility but doing it every goddam night.

I suppose I can also be thankful that I am still at the point in my life where I can dissolutely squander such an amount of money and not endanger the necessities like rent, food, the maintenance of one's children, etc.

But still . . .

And, Kali, I get to spend four days a week bouncing around in temperatures that average between 95 and 100 F, wearing period-accurate 1930s three piece suits and hats, pretending that I'm actually spending more time thinking about Shakespearean murder than the fact that it's hot. So hot. So, so hot.

It can actually be quite fun if you put your mind to it.

You have poetry funds?

Christ, my booze money comes out of my food money, after my dog's food money has come out of it...

Maybe if I alliterated better I wouldn't be quite so fucked for cash...

We're stuck with constant drizzle AND rubbish lives. (OK, maybe I generalised some there, but...) everything is a bit rubbish. QUIT WHINING ABOUT THE FUCKING WEATHER!!! It's irritating enough that the actual angry thread doesn't have time for GRRRRR! stuff but is being hijacked by, y'know, reasonable discussion of stuff which is anger-making, but which is REASONABLE DISCUSSION and no longer UNTAMED ANGER, and has ignored UNTAMED ANGER stuff in favour of REASONABLE DISCUSSION...

CHRIST!

Erm...

...calm now...

... erm... yeah.

The weather sucks. It actually does. I have to take the dog out in a bit and try not to drown.

I know this probably constitutes a really terrible idea psychologically and image-wise if anyone should see you with them, but if the alu-carpet is really getting on your tits, you could probably start buying your booze in those giant 2-litre supermarket plastic bottles. (Do they sell beer in those, or is it just cider)? That way at least you wouldn't add to it any more.

Yeah, sorry about that and to anyone I've yelled at recently. I've had a lot of shit going on recently, and I'm in the middle of moving house which is making my fuse a bit shorter than usual.

(Note to self- remember- caps lock = cruise control for cool).
