Stolen from an obvious source, but I'd miss ranting here if I didn't post it.

The concept is simple

+talk about good things like this
-talk about bad things like this
+host finally fixed the intermintent errors
-still no server.
etc.

You've heard some of this at MP already...and you'll probably read it again there, because I might decide that I'm frustrated enough to post it twice.

---(times a lot) My dad called home from this office this morning. I made the mistake of being the one to answer the phone because my mom was otherwise occupied at the time, and thus I ended up being the one stuck coming down to the office to help him out. He was having some sort of problem with his email not transferring to his desktop from another computer, and he's been so swamped with work that he needed someone to come down and sort it out for him.

---(cont) So I trekked down to the office, and Dad briefly went over what it was he wanted me to do. He was getting emails to his little computer but needed them back on his desktop, only they weren't being sent there directly like he wanted. I was tasked with forwarding all of his email from the past few days from the little computer to his own email address, which was supposedly now set up to go to his desktop instead. I was also supposed to do a few other little things, but those don't really matter right now.

--I began my task around 8:00 this morning.
-I had to forward the emails one at a time because
-Forwarding them in bulk didn't work,
-probably partially due to the fact that Dad uses Microsoft Outlook,
--which is an icky program to begin with.

+Sent Dad two test emails at the start of the process, both of which he received.

+ Finally finished the task around 11:30.
- Went in to tell Dad I was finished,
- only to find out that he hadn't received [i]anything[/i] since the test emails
----- which meant that everything I had done for the past three and a half hours was null and void.
- Really, the only thing I can do about it is start over from the beginning,
--- but I really don't have time to do that because
+ I have line dancing at 1:15
+/- and I'd like to eat lunch before I go (though maybe it's just optional, I guess)
-- so I can't finish this before I have to leave, if it took 3 hours the first time...

Be sure to apply to all the fast food places. Like Starbucks and McDonalds and what have you. They may SUCK (Well, Starbucks doesn't because it has some pretty kick ass benefits), but they are always hiring, and better than chores you don't get paid for.

Starbucks isn't hiring. Not one of the three Starbucks (all located within a block of each other) by my house is. And sadly, you basically have to be bilingual to work at a fast food place around here. Which I am not, at all. I can say I don't speak Spanish in Spanish. That's about it.
And I don't have a car, so I basically am limited to what I can bike to around here.

+got out of chores for today because my mother's life was completely derailed this morning

Lol
+ I am bilingual
++ I am 18
- Too lazy to get a job
-- I'm getting fat -w-
-(x1000) Okay so my dad goes on on how I don't do anything at home and how I'm a lazy ass and that if I don't stay active I'm going to end up a huge potato. Which make sense and all but then when I ask if I can go out he says no. He says there's too much work on their (my parents) end and that I need to put up with them until the weekend. Ummm no.. Why should I suffer because my parents are? I just don't get it. Then as I said my dad says You don't do anything around the house you don't do any exercise you need to stop being in your room all day. I ask if I can go out and he said no because I've misbehaved. I mean I understand the concept of being grounded... but not after he's said I need to get out more. I don't even have a freaking car anymore. I'd have to walk and bus where ever I'm going and trust me I don't have a problem with that and that gets me ample exercise... So wtf?

----- Woke up to a massive nosebleed this morning.
--- Nosebleed lasted between ten and fifteen minutes.
+ Nosebleed went away.
----- Sneezed about an hour later and ended up with another massive nosebleed.
--- Was leaving with a friend, so ended up being stupid and drove to another friend's house one-handed while trying to keep blood from dripping everywhere.
------ It was the kind of nosebleed where the blood flowed down the back of my throat, so was spitting up blood for a while both times.

+++ Went to friend's graduation party.
--- Friend's cousins were obnoxious.
++ Closest friends from home were all there.
+++ Got complimented for my ability to find the most random things amusing, including a random ball that was floating in the pool and a leaf blower.

-- Started down a familiar spiral of self-doubt and whatever during a couple of conversations held at the party today. But whatever.

+++ Wrote epic speech, writing time spanning over the period of two days to find awesome wording, for a character in my story.
--- Epic speech was shot down in less than three minutes. Meh.
- Need to write new speech that will fit better. Eventually. When I stop feeling grumpy about it.

++++++ Went to a Greek festival the other day!
+++++++ With best friend, who actually enjoys this sort of thing, so I didn't have to deal with my family being all "I'm bored, can we leave now?" like I had to last year!
+++++++ Danced a lot of Greek dances
+++ Got to see professional Greek dancers
++++ Got to dance with professional Greek dancers!
++++++ While watching the dancers, got an awesome story idea.
- Didn't have my notebook with me, so had to type it up on my cell phone, utilizing the 'notes' feature.
+/- Was likely an amusing sight.
+++++ Friend likes the story idea and wants to write it out with me! =D

+++ ...Chocolate covered pretzels!

We've GOT to be best friends, now.



I think today has been a depressing day, thus far.

- My scholarship essay is due Friday, and it's not done.
- My friend who's helping me with this essay, cuz I'm a dumbdumb, has been missing for some time.
- I've been having crazy, vivid nightmares about my friends, one in particular. >.>
- My ex who broke up with me by ignoring me is possibly attempting to shove how better off he is over Failbook...
- I've been working too much
- I'm in a bad sleeping habit
- I'm bored all the time.
- FML...
- I've been feeling worthless, and thinking a whole bunch of bad stuff about myself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ugh, I'm just... depressed. :/

...Now that I think of it, I do have a plus in my day.

+ I just remembered I have the ex's favorite video game, still. :P

Yeah but you should always just put in an application. Every few months. Fast food places go through people quickly, and it's better to have an application in than not, even if they're not hiring right then and there or you don't think you'll get it.

-- I need a car.
----- But I also really need better hours at work, I need money, especially since I have to pay to live here now...and my phone.
--------- I'm really afraid I may get fired.
+ But my manager said I can't request days off in November/December. So maybe that means I'll be there until then.
---- / +++ I'm not going to college next semester.
----- But I have no idea what I'm going to do.
------------------------ Probably whine that the girl I'm heads over heels for won't really talk to me anymore and lives 300 miles away and is just so apathetic.
---- But I guess I'm the same way.
------ And in three months I'll basically have no friends here anymore.
Sigh.
