There's not enough bitching

[Anastasia]

Ugh. Feeling lightheaded after 15 hours of sleep blows. It usually takes a good day or two for this to go away entirely. BLEH.

My grandfather just passed away.

Man, I knew he was dying, but... really, it didn't hit me until it actually happened.

[Ragnar]

Sorry to hear about your grandfather. It never really sinks in that someone is going to die until they actually do.

Closing the store at 12:30, taking the bus home, getting home at around 2:00, getting called at 9:00 and interrupting the most awesome dream about a rocket-powered ping-pong tournament (you and Kyon were ahead, damnit!  You could have won a date with Mutsumi!) by a coworker who's afraid of doing anything without someone to walk her through it.

Staring blearily at the phone and realizing you have to be at work in two hours anyway.

;_;

[Anastasia]

Out of curiosity, what job are you holdin' right now, Brian? Sounds like it sucks if they're calling you at home. Fuck that noise.

[Brian]

Right now?  I work at a bookstore.  Somehow, I've transcended grunt status and am now a supervisor.  Mostly, I really like my job.  I wish it paid better, because I'm only just able to make ends meet (without being able to afford school).  The only real problem is that I don't like my manager ... but he left the store.

There is a co-worker who I'm not so keen on, but since it's another supervisor, it's seldom an issue.  And with luck, she'll be leaving the store, too.  Then it'll be time to ask for a raise....

[StormDragon]

Well, Sunhawk, you were right. My power supply is the cause of all my problems; two nights ago it went 'kerplnk' and died. So I hafta buy a new one.

I miss my cooomp! T.T *le sob*

First, background: I'm currently working a tes- Quality Assurance Engineer at a "technology" company. My job consists of breaking the software they make and telling people about it. A lot of this involves writing python scripts that make various requests to a server running the server and check that the results are as expected. I have a dedicated linux server to do this on, so I can mess around with web server configuration and so on as necessary.

I spent more of today fixing bugs in my own tests and wondering how the fuck various things work than I did creating new tests or finding bugs that I can report to developers. >.>

[Anastasia]

Today's bitching? Spammers. Fuck'em.

[Dracos]

Today's Bitching: Spammer's still suck.

[Dracos]

But tires that tear themselves  to shreds suck much worse.

Yeah, there are better ways of getting exercise.

Today's bitching:

Let's hear it for digestive stress and acid! Yaaay! (Fuck.)

[Brian]

Oh, no....  Ana, if you need to talk to me about that, feel free.  I spent several years fighting off an ulcer.

In the meantime, I move that spamming be an offense punishable by revoking all internet privelages -- permanently. :3

Yeah. It's from stomach to throat, too, a full upper body sorta deal. Got the acid backwash, scorched/irritated esophagus, and central wear. Got on Protonix for it, but we'll see how it goes. Here's hoping. OW.

[Brian]

Well, when it happened to me I ended giving up red meat.  Possibly not a required change, but it did help quite a bit....  Of course, now that I'm better, I still don't eat red meat, so....
