Something been bugging you lately? Use this thread to rant about anything your heart desires...Your husband, your coworkers, your computer... anything!
Feel free to ask for advice as well.
----
My first rant: I have been sick for the past 3 days, and can't call out of work because they are firing people for the silliest things. I am on horrible medication that is doing nothing for me, I can't sleep because the meds give me cramps, and I'm stuck on this horrible diet until my system 'regulates' itself again. I also am so bloated, I look 4 months pregnant.
And that is my rant. ;D

Firefox has been bugging me to update, so I did - and it erased all my bookmarks! I managed to find a backup file, but I can't get them back in, so I have to do it BY HAND tomorrow. Have better customer support, Mozilla!!

Ok, so I am currently taking summer classes in order to be able to graduate in May. I have been in a Spanish class back home (just over two hours away) for three weeks now and have been going over on Tuesdays in time for class and staying at home through Friday mornings to go to the second class meeting on Thursdays. This is all well and good except I have a one week conclusion class to Nineteenth Century British Novels this week that meets every day from 8 to 4 (with a generous lunch break). I left Novels class early today so that I could make it to Spanish, and when Spanish was over, turned around and drove back so that I can be in class tomorrow morning. GAH! I asked my Spanish teacher to give me the midterm early (she's giving it to us on Thursday, and it's a take home test!), and she refused! Now I have to go to Spanish class on Thursday and cannot skip like I had honestly intended to do b/c that's a whole heck of a lot of driving and gas consumption over a seven or eight hour time slot. I'm pissed! She gave no consideration to my situation at all, it was a flat "no and I am not giving you an explanation" kind of thing. She also told me that if I didn't show up Thursday, I wouldn't be able to even get the midterm, let alone take it.
Ok, I think I'm done. Still pissed and rather tired from driving, but done.

Today's rant:
I graduated college in May and will be going back to school in the fall for my Master's degree. I have taken out 3 student loans over the course of 4 years, so I needed to defer these loans. AES has been nothing but a pain in my ass. First, the forms I needed weren't on their website, so I had to call them. He sent me only the form for my most recent student loan. So I emailed them, and they emailed me one form and mailed me another form. It had been over a month and the status had only been changed on one of the loans. So I emailed them again to find out what the deal was. Apparently, my first two student loans are not eligible for deferment! Why did they not tell me this in the beginning? I could have been saving money since I now have to start paying these off in November, instead of in 2 years, when I graduate college again. *sigh* Nothing like adding to my stress.
*end rant*

My rant has to be the stupidest rant ever - but today after going through post after post looking for specific items on various different bulletin board type sites and seeing the same thing over and over - I have to say something LOL.
So here is what's driving me nuts LOL - when a thread says ISO black leather wallet, PuPu Morgan, Rolex watch and people reply with I have a brown leather wallet, I have a CG Morgan or I have Cartier watch - I'm like WTF - that's not what the author of the thread is ISO.
I know it's a retarded thing to rant about LOL - but I can't help it - I have been freaking driving myself crazy looking for some very specific items online and I keep encountering this same BS.
Ok - thanks - I'm better now =)

I am so glad my family is not on this website! I am so sick of my whiny MIL calling my cell phone. Whenever she is having a bad day, she calls to talk to my 3 year old daughter. It is depressing just listening to her and grates on my nerves to see her name on my caller ID.
I dread when the twins get here because I don't want to have to talk to her everyday for her to see how they are doing. If she REALLY cared, she would come see them. She always wants me to re-arrange my schedule to come see her, but when she is supposed to visit us it gets canceled because- you guessed it - she is having a bad day. There is ALWAYS an excuse!
The worst part is: I didn't have a problem with her until we got pregnant with our first child and it has gone downhill ever since.
(Face is red, blood pressure is up, rant over for now)

ahhhh MILs are a joy sometimes...they usually mean well though. Except for my best friend's MIL. Can you believe she came over last week unannounced and without even asking took my friend's front doormat , threw it near the deck, and replaced it with a USED doormat from her own home? She also like to rearrange the furniture, hang up drapes, etc w/o permission....

I def. feel like ranting right now.... I hate when you ask people what they want as a gift for like bday or christmas or whatever, they tell you what they want, so you buy it. THEN you find out that they bought one already or decide they don't want it after all...

My rant for the day: This *sweltering* heat!
I was outside for no more than 20 minutes today and my forehead was drenched in sweat. The Southeast in the Summer is ridiculous! I was going to take a nice walk to work out today but that's not an option... Unless I want to pass out from heat exhaustion!!

My rant for today:
I hate living in apartment buildings. The reason? People that constantly have music and/or television with way too much bass blaring. Our neighbors across the hall do this every Friday/Saturday and my bf goes every every weekend to have them turn it down. Now tonight, our other neighbor, who we have never heard a peep out of, has really loud bass/tv. When my bf goes to knock, the volume of it goes down, but it eventually comes back. Why are people so inconsiderate? It's not like we live in a party building...it's a building for grad students and professionals. At least the boys across the hall will be moving in August...a retired engineer will be moving in. Guess we will only have problems if he is hard of hearing!! lol

I haven't had Internet/home phone since Thursday evening (excluding while I was at work on Friday). The phone company FINALLY came to fix it late Sunday evening.... Its not like we are in a busy area. We are extremely rural area. Most everyone has farms, the population for the phone company is VERY low... What did we find to be the reason for the entire road to be out of internet/phone... The neighbor's cow sat on the box that contains all the wires and stuff to make it work. First of all, why in the world would you put the brand new phone line/Internet box in the middle of a cow pasture with 75+ cows when diagonal across the road is a patch of woods. With Nothing!! No houses, no cows, no people! makes no sense... Second of all, why is it just sitting out on the ground where a cow can sit on it! shouldn't it be up high on the telephone poll? or buried in the ground!!
AGH phone companies

I just want to say that my in-laws drive me nuts!!! My MIL is ALWAYS right and everything has to be her way even when it comes to MY kids! My husband and I went on a quick weekend trip while they watched our boys and when we returned she quickly commented on how filty my house was so she cleaned. Great, thanks!! I would have tons of time to clean like her if I only worked 4 hours 5 days a week during the school year, but I work 12 hour shifts 3 times a week with mandatory overtime all year and I am the sole caregiver for my boys. We don't do daycare or babysitters. So between caring for the kids and sleeping only every other night because I work nights, the house tends to fall behind sometimes. Give me break! Next time you can stay at a hotel and rent a car instead of stay free with us and drive my truck all over town!! Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. My husband gets defensive when I talk about his mom because he is her golden child. She would do anything to keep him all buttered up to her. Drive me nuts!!! Thanks for letting me vent

Okay I have been a power-poster tonight so I will end it with a rant. A very angry rant. Alright, one of my friends since elementary school (best friends since HS) is also my neighbor across the street. We dormed together this year and it worked out, but towards the end of the year we started to just drift a little; we still hang out and what not, but we aren't as extremely close. (Towards the end of the year I discovered how selfish and short tempered she is) Two days ago I see an ambulance pull up to her house, but we could not see anything and there weren't any crazy sirens so I was going to wait for it to leave and then contact her to make sure everything was okay. We see the ambulance pull away like 10 minutes later with one of their cars following behind. My mom sees her 2 youngest sisters out on the front lawn and that means that at least my friend or the other older sister was home. I decided to text my friend and ask her if everything was alright. She responded by saying that it was her sister having an allergic reaction and she was having trouble breathing. I told her I hope that she is okay and give me a call if they needed anything; I got a thanks back. My mom called yesterday to check up on her sister, and her sister was the one to answer the phone. My mom asked how she was feeling and she tells my mom that it was my friend who left in the ambulance because she got hives from an allergic reaction! My mom just said oh alright well I hope she is feeling better. So now I have a few problems- 1. Why the hell would you lie to me and tell me it was your sister? There is absolutely no good answer! 2. You are riding in an ambulance getting your vitals checked,etc. and you texted me back?! 3. Why am I the only one who was lied to? I saw that one of our other friends even sent her a get well card and flowers! 3. Did you think I wouldn't find out? UGH! I do not get people. I am just sick of her at this point. I'm feeling vengeful tonight so I'm thinking I will post a "Hope you're feeling better!" on her wall... yup I will. Okay rant done
