What pissed you off today? - Page 49

These men should not be allowed to vote on any laws.
Condoning violence against women and minorities.
Overall, I am relieved this passed and they are the minority. Just pitiful though.

All that voted against the bill are Repbulicans. I suspect we have republican members here at the Planet. It must be somewhat difficult to see their party consistently put the needs of women lower on the priority list. I see Rubio one of the new Golden Boys of the GOP is all down for immigration reform but not protecting women against violence. I can't help but wonder what is their justification for voting against this bill. Probably something like "We all ready have laws on the book that covers this. These laws just need to be enforced."

So true about the Golden Boys. The extreme GOP. Santorum...I helped to vote him out. It was my pleasure. Rubio should back up his supposed concern about the protections of immigrants.
This Act could protect against acts of violence to native americans, LGBT and immigrants.
Cantor the House Majority leader ...ugh...It is abominable behavior and neglect for anyone to not pass these protections.

cinnamongrrl · 02-18-2013, 05:28 PM

An email from a perspective employer. She corrected me on my wording of my employment for an agency. I explained to her exactly WHY I worded it as such (for my client's privacy) and she emailed me AGAIN and corrected me AGAIN on the same thing.

SO....me being me and today being that kind of DAY....

I told her thank you but I don't see it working for me....and proceeded to correct her spelling. Bad energy abounded. And it was fewer hours than I have now anyway. Thanks. I will PASS..

Gemme · 02-18-2013, 07:42 PM

Work issues.

Kätzchen · 02-18-2013, 09:20 PM

Poorly written tax law in Washington state which is now, seemingly all of a sudden, being utilized to tax music venues (that either do or do not have dance floors) by imposing steep, retroactive, tax penalties which will put many under new financial hardships that will affect not only recording artists/bands and music venue owners, but also people who want to go hear music and dance.

I'm really done.

I have an extra 200 dollars in charges on a home line that I havent had for a month and half. Damn right I'm pissed. Another battle in the offing for Monday.

I got rid of AT & T and got TracFone and Vonage for landline....saving bucks $$$$

MissItalianDiva · 02-19-2013, 04:36 PM

Freakin Wells Fargo why the heck do I bank there? Spent over an hour arguing with them over a withdrawl...wth do I need to explain why I am withdrawing such a large sum. Then when I finally got fed up and decided to close my accounts having the branch manager tell me no she isn't going to and she can do that based on discretion. Well luckily the area manager agrees with me and says she is being ridiculous but this doesn't make me any less pissed off. Bye bye wells Fargo you can suck it

jac · 02-19-2013, 07:43 PM

So, it goes something like this....

All day long someone is usually sitting at the computer typing in logs on each kid... things they do, interactions, moods, plans, etc. Today I was sharing the wealth with another staff on this task... in between my regular tasks of cooking meals, answering doors, taking calls, etc. It's getting close to shift end and I am wrapping up logs for 25 youth. No biggy. All is good on the homefornt... until... I close everything out and remember I need to go back to one specific youth's log and add a few things I had overlooked. Still no biggy. I do the multiple click sequence and finally get his log open, scroll down to where I type in the info... and low and behold... The field is blank!!

No worries... I got this. I'll just type it all back in... It's all still fresh in my mind. I finish and save and close it all out. Hmmmmm.... I wonder if I should check another just to see if everything is still there? I pick another youth's name and go through the click sequence/process... OMG Noooooo!!!!There's NOTHING in her field either!!

I'm beginning to freak just a bit...

Frantically I open another log... and another... and another!! There is nothing in any of them!! All my work is lost in the nether regions of cyber space!! I'm at the point of laughing hysterically, tearing up from frustration, and blowing a gasket from sheer anger!!

I had to sit behind the computer an extra hour retyping EVERYTHING!!

Yeh, needless to say, I was a little more than pissed this evening...

StrongButch · 02-20-2013, 08:20 AM

I am not pissed. But want this to stop now. Ive had enough.

SmoothButch · 02-20-2013, 06:35 PM

I went to the DMV to renew my CDL for another eight years. Come to find out every time you renew your license you have to retake the HazMat computer exam to also keep your Haz endorsement. What sucks is that I just took and passed this exam last year. I wish I had known about that ahead of time. At least when I pass it again it'll be good for the full eight years of my license. Then I just have to do the fingerprints and background every five years to remain current.

Ugh, back to studying this bull ...

MaggieBluIze · 02-20-2013, 07:04 PM

What made me sad and pissed me off today ...
I just found out why such tragedy has happened to my family.
It was all due to the stupidity of my cousin's wife.

Now a 4 y/o child is dead,
a 5 y/o one is in a coma,
the other 4 are being taken away
and my cousin is going to have to face all that
along with his wife now going to jail for making this happen.

Why are people so stupid?
How do you not know better?
How do you make choices that have an end result like this?

Be freakin' safe in life.
Make good choices.
If you are going to be stupid, do it alone.
Never take small children with you.
Never think you are invincible
and "that will never happen to me"!!

*deep breath*
Thanks for a place to rant.

I don't think that it's the job of any person or agent to correct the grammar or spelling of an applicant unless it's a requirement of their position (editor, etc).

I totally understand Cinnamon's frustration when she had explained why she wrote it out like she did. I would have been highly irritated with the behavior of the potential employer too and would have given long thought to whether I wanted to put myself in an environment with this on a daily basis. If they are going to do that to someone they don't know through email, imagine how it would be in person, working day to day with them.

No thanks.

I think the biggest mistake that employers and potential employer make is they forget this one lil fact...

While they are evaluating us, we are evaluating them... while we are in a probational period, so are they...
