Quote from: "Brian"I think my memory's beginning to slip.

I've been forgetting all kinds of minor things lately, which is disturbing, but lately, I seem to be forgetting more and more major things. o_o

Your name is Brian.  You write really good fanfics.

What else is there to remember?

I tried to give Civil War a far chance. It even began ok.

I wish to shoot the creators in the face.

And Frontline? Don't get me started on Frontline. Between the bleeding nipples and Mr. Myspace I just wish the Punisher would kill them all.

Captain America, Spider-man, Luke Cage; I feel sorry for the lot of your characters.


Game Over. Evil wins.

Fuck you, Marvel.

Fuck you.

There was an intervention for me on Sunday.

I showed up drunk.

I guess I wasn't winning that argument. -_-

So, suspicions confirmed.  I'm an alcoholic.

Let's give me a three-day sobriety counter, eh? :/

Yeah. All the drunken Bri jokes, while good, are ultimately stale. Lay off the sauce a bit.

Today's searing hot needled to the stomach? My Dad's foot is taking longer to heal than anticipated, he won't be able to drive for at least another month. Not only is this an obvious transportation issue all around, but Dad's also going stir crazy as hell.

My car is on the east coast.

I want it on the west  coast.  Yesterday.

Damn distance.

Dracos
Well, Goodbye.

Anastasia

So my boss is trying to give us homework. Y'know, the crappy job that no one wants to do in the first place? It's not just idiocy, it's retarded customer service shit.

arriving home only to that night get the most  violently sick you've been in years.

Bloody planes of germs. @_@

At the least I'm home for barely being able to haul myself out of bed.

Dracos
Well, Goodbye.

Dealing with idiots at work.

I dont need to say anything else, do I?

Hey, you've got a job... I'm still unemployed after 2 months and potential employers that refuse to even call me to tell me AFTER interviews that I wasn't the right person... or even to tell me that after I bug them.
What sort of madness will I create today?"

Dracos

You need better employers to bother with.  That said, that kind of shit is endemic, even of good ones.  Got to be more aggressive.  That and its good modus operandi to talk to them right after the interview (Thanks for your time, bullshit) anyhow.

Dracos
Well, Goodbye.

Ryder. When I was trying to get a job with Fluor, it basically took two months for me to get told "Okay, we can hire you. When can you start?"

After contacting someone in Fluor (it's -very- helpful to have a contact of some sort at the company you're applying to. When you can't bug HR, they can do it for you) who used to go to my university and giving them my resume to give to HR, I had to make four calls to ask if they had any openings. First time I left a message with HR, second time I actually talked to them (they told me they still hadn't had a chance to look over the resume, two weeks after having it handed to them), third time I called again and left a message again, fourth time I just told my contact to talk to the HR person.

Got a call for an interview appointment some time later. Go through interview, get told to wait two weeks for a reply. Two weeks come by, and I call, leave a message. Call again the next day, still the HR person does not answer my calls. Call a few more times over the course of the week, before again, I end up using the contact to prod the person. He calls me and says they're still considering all applicants. Wait a week, try again, this time just going through the contact. Says the HR person is on a two week vacation. Okay, call again after the two weeks are over. Contact says he'll talk to the HR person and remind them about me. Few days later, I get offered a job.

So yeah. Takes effort. >_>;
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

I am possessed of (by?) an all-consuming hatred.  It interferes with my ability to write.  I can't sleep.  I can't focus.  I've been spacing out and making stupid mistakes at work lately.

Why do I care so much about something so terrible?  Why do I keep trying to get through to someone who just can't get it?  Why can't I give up and get on with my life?

Hate.

Because you lack sufficient faith in knives.  Or fire.

Brian, just let it go.  If he was ever going to get it, he would have long before now.   You can't fix all problems.

Feh.

The past few days have just been as boring as hell.

Most of my friends don't come online much anymore, and when they do they're super-quiet on AIM/IRC, I haven't been able to concentrate on any game for more than a few minutes at a time....ugh.

I've spent most of my free time the past few days just refreshing the same few forums constantly, waiting for people to post. -_-
Pet my snake, pet my ssssnaaaake. :P
