The "Rant" Thread

Recommended Posts

i hate going to the doctor. she always manages to make me feel completely useless, by her little comments and her generally annoying personality. i always go there in a good mood, and leave in a bad one. for example, i had pointy shoes on, and she said, "How can you wear those? If I wore those I would have to kill myself." Um... sorry if I can wear pointy shoes and you can't. Also, after asking me how many hours I work, she goes "WOW that's a lot!" Uh... I only work 30 hours a week. And she told me I can't go to grad school full time AND work.

 

Then, the standard interrogation began. "Smoke?" "No." "Drink?" "Occasionally." "Street drugs?" WTF??? STREET DRUGS??? "No." "Are you taking a multivitamin?" "Yes." "Milk for calcium?" "Um.... I'm lactose intolerant." IT SAYS THAT RIGHT ON MY HISTORY, YOU (&^@#$. "Junk food?" "No. My father is diabetic. I've learned my lesson."

 

AND THEN... i had to get a tuberculosis test! wtf! and i have to get bloodwork done... this is so annoying. I got bloodwork done EVERY MONTH from June until November! Why isn't that good enough?? I'm 22 years old and in good health. I am not ill, nor have I ever been.

 

I'm so frustrated. I hate going to the doctor. I really think I'm going to switch doctors.

 

Also, I'm shorter than I thought I was! I'm only 5'6"! booooooo

 

ok i'm done.. now that's out of my system and i can get on with my day!

^Don't get me started on doctors. I have no idea why they keep a chart, since they're always asking questions that are answered RIGHT ON THE PAPER IN FRONT OF THEM. Recently I was asked "when they do a blood test, where do they send the sample to get tested?" Um, how the hell would I know that?!? I wonder how some of these people get through medical school...

Agghh...I went into work last night and dealt with my co-manager (who is "senior" above me) and she said our District Manager loved who we left the store monday night. She then started raving about tiny things that had no baring at all.

 

On top of that, she handed me 5 sheets of concession product from the past week and a half that needed to be recieved. It wasn't done because I was on vacation.

 

So my peeve is that she whined, but she didn't do crap while I was on vacation and left everything for me to do when I got back. Sometimes it sucks being a reliable and hard-working person. You get the shaft really bad sometimes.

So today, when I signed onto AOL, when of the features was 10 foods that may seem like they are sinless, but actually can be bad for you. Some of things they mentioned were low fat dressings, low fat foods period, meat; no matter how it's cooked, soups, and to top it off, juices. Juices!! Juices are fattening supposedly! I'm not saying they don't have their fair share of calories, but they neglect to inform you what kind of calories they are. I just thought this article was ridiculously overkill. Seriously, what the hell are people supposed to eat and drink when even low fat foods and juices are bad for you!? Whoever wrote that article needs to be beat upside the head with a stick of salami or something. The article essentially said, "you're f-bombed no matter what you do."

 

On a similar note, it just drives me crazy how obsessed people are with dieting these days. I work at an ice cream store and I see tons of good looking, fit, and thin people coming in and wanting the fat free ice cream 'cause they are on a diet. What is your problem? I guess I wouldn't want the ice cream if I was just going to get the disgusting sugarless, fat free crap.

 

It just seems like diets are becoming an all too popular "solution" to staying thin, or getting thin. So many people go on diets to lose weight, but they forget the most important thing... exercise. Losing weight is great, but that isn't going to do a great deal if that person doesn't get the rest of their body into shape.

 

I think it's great that so many people are trying to get into shape, it just drives me nuts how they are doing it. There are better ways to do it besides munching on lettuce while lounging on a couch all day.

I was doing this study this week, marking high school exam papers (extremely intensive and very dull, did it for the money) and met this really cute and cool guy who apparently was in pretty much all of my classes at uni this semester but we've never noticed each other. Anyway, we both finished the tasks before our friends did so we were in the bar taking advantage of the free coffee while we waited for them, getting along great, and JUST as I was starting to realise he was as interested in me as I was in him, and he says "I hope you don't mind me asking...", my friend walks in, sits with us, and starts up a big rant about how boring the work was. ARGH! Then our other friends arrived, and the guy had to leave a couple of minutes later to make his train. Damn it! First decent and suitable guy I've met since I've been single, and we get interrupted.

I eat the "sugarless, fat free crap" because I'm diabetic and can't have the "regular crap." They make sugarless and/or fat free items so that people like me, or others who simply want a treat without having to worry about sugar and/or fat can enjoy them.

 

And, honestly, the sugar free stuff isn't that bad, thanks to new sweeteners like Splenda.

Word. I know you don't have it in CA, but here we have Turkey Hill Carb Smart Ice Cream with Splenda, and it is GODLY. The mint chocolate chip especially.

 

I think the key to diet is portion control, and using common sense. And most juices are loaded with sugar. Most people want a magical solution to their diet problems, but it isn't going to happen...

Yeah, I totally understand that, and instances like that, I'm glad they exist. I'm just generalizing as I mainly refer to the girls that come in the store that already weigh like 90 lbs and blatantly tell me they are on a diet.

At least ^ you gotta DLR and a coaster to (currently) ride, at this time of year.

 

I have to wait till late March (or so) until my park is open, to ride my local coaster.

 

Hmmmph.

OK, I understand that my boss would want to hire Chinese people, as he is Chinese. I have absolutely no problem with that. But it really irritates me when I have to struggle with someone's broken English. I mean no offense to anyone, as I think the Chinese language is very beautiful language. But I am in a position at work where I have to work with EVERYONE on a semi-personal level, and it's very hard to do so when I can barely communicate with someone. Most of the time, I have no idea what the new hire is trying to tell me, so a simple task that should only take a couple of hours at most ends up taking me ALL DAY! ARRRRRGGGGHH!!

"Above the lexical category VP, we get one or two functional projections. The operator is the head because it fills the I (or C) of the IP (or CP), it is also the morphological locus (where the present or past tense shows up) and it can select its complement. Still, at the same time, there is some sense in which the lexical verb is also head-like, for instance in that it provides the core meaning, it decides what kind of subject there can be. We can say that C and I are functional; heads of the clause in that they provide information in the form of functional features, whereas the lexical head of the clause, V, provides the content information. The lexical category and the functional categories can then be said to be co-heads of their phrase, they form the spine of the clause."

 

WHAT?! No, seriously, WHAT?! WTF does this mean? THESE EXAMS SUCK!!!!
