I'm not saying equipment never fails, I'm saying that it's more consistent and reliable than humans, generally speaking.

Of course, hence the need for WarGames.

FUCK PEOPLE WHO MICROMANAGE YOU SO THEY CAN "UNDERSTAND" YOUR PROCESSES. OBSERVING LEADS TO UNDERSTANDING. MEDDLING  WITH AND QUESTIONING EVERYTHING I DO IS COMPLETE BULLSHIT AND IT WILL MOST DEFINITELY LEAD TO ME FREAKING THE FUCK OUT.


Which is what is happening. Right now.

It's good you did that in all caps, so they could read it.

Actually my main problem now is new ppl 'observing' which is another way of saying 'getting me to do stuff', but failing to accumulate any understanding of ANYTHING, even accidentally.  Pfft.  People, they vex me.

I hate micromanagers! I had one at my last job and even though she knew a lot about what she knew, she didn't know crap about what I knew. I should have been a good compliment to her skills, but I was not allowed to be. She wouldn't even tell me what she wanted me to do, but instead would tell me to do one part of some project at a time so that I would do it the way she wanted me to do it. I never got to use any of my skills and I started to doubt that I had skills! I've been at my new job for a little over a year. I have a great boss now and I actually miss him when he isn't here.

The thing I could never understand is why someone would hire you if they thought you couldn't do a good job.
I have a long history of booing

Fucking internet trolls, especially when I take the bait, like an idiot.  The backstory is too stupid to get into, but if you're curious, some of the drama is up at mcclernan dot com slash mcclernan.  I strongly encourage Raad_Man to get involved.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Whoa, I didn't realize you were a theatre establishment insider.

That's me!  I choose to wield my shadowy power by playing Beckett radio plays on WFMU.

Postponing an eye appointment for a month until I have money to pay for it and then having to wait 3 weeks because my vision is so poor my right eye contact is on backorder and finally going to try them on today only to find out that they don't fit properly so it'll be another week before the new ones arrive.

Hmmm why don't you have backup glasses? They're super cheap these days.

Fuck, you Bennington College student center, for keeping the radio tuned to the crappiest station in the world. Not only is the music bad, but the signal sucks, so it's bad AND static-y. While we're at it, fuck you, boyfriend, for taking my headphones with you on tour. Now I can't properly drown this out.


Okay, I'm not really saying fuck you to my boyfriend. I love him. My irritation is minimal in regard to the headphones. Just keeping in the spirit of the thread.

Oh I do have glasses but they're pretty old and I get a headache if I wear them all day.  I can still wear my old contacts but it's getting to the point where they're starting to get a little irritating.

Quick update/closure since you're dying to know: I returned to my apartment today, and the curator creep had actually cleaned up after himself. No trash, no stuff left behind. But he's a jerk alright - the cracked coffee cup has mysteriously disappeared. Trying to get away. I'm considering treating the cup as a casualty of war, and be thankful he didn't burn the place down.

Martin I hope your situation improves.... your home is your castle! Storm the castle!


I hate that they're making 15% cuts across the board at my company. 7 of my favorite co-workers and friends got the axe on Wednesday. My boyfriend (who also works here but in a different division) just lost his position and was moved to another one. But at least he's getting a paycheck. 4 people were cut from his division.

I want to cry and then punch someone. This is horrible. Hopefully they finish making the cuts across the 8 or so divisions today. I just want it to be over.

Update: we're up to 27 people cut in all. THIS SUCKS. It's like a bomb going off.
