I'm starting to get sick of your complaining.

There is this thing known as the ignore button, it works wonders.

Re: OS Off Topic

I'm starting to get sick of your complaining. You GET to go to college. Do you realize how lucky you really are? There are probably about 3 billion people (if not more) that would kill to be in your position. YOU LIVE IN THE RICHEST COUNTRY ON THE PLANET. You get to have clean water, clothes, medical care, a roof over your head. Go to Africa and see how people live there and then come back and complain about your life. You are so blessed to get to continue your education, but you are going to complain because you were lazy in school and got some bad grades, so now you aren't getting as much scholarship money as you think you "deserve." So now you don't have complete freedom on where you GET TO GO TO COLLEGE. College isn't a right, it's a privilege. If you really,really, really want to go to a certain school, then get a job and pay for it. Otherwise, suck it up and be happy that you weren't born in Darfur.

THERE AREN'T SCHOLARSHIPS IN MOTHER-****ING AFRICA.

And I'm sick of getting screwed over by my own damn mother, but I guess I don't have a reason to be mad, according to you.

Re: OS Off Topic

3 1/2 weeks on this job and still don't have a key to my office. I gave it up, I'm not gonna ask for it anymore, I'm gonna start coming late (when my roomate/partner already there - she usually arrives at 9:30). Another thing that bugs me is that I'm starting to hate this place Not just because of the key issue, but...I don't know, something with the atmosphere, just can't put it in words. I was really happy to start working there, but after a week I started feeling worse. Of course I'm not gonna quit because I really need this job, but it's getting tough. And there's something wrong with their managing system, I mean, I'm used to have a supervisor who's responsible for prioritize everything. But here my supervisor sits a bit far, and most of the time it seems she has no clue about what's going on. So I have to ask my partner (who's a senior designer and my job is to assist her) what's next and what's more important. I'd really love to go back to my 2004-2006 job where everything was so much better (except for that fact that twice a week I worked from noon 'til 8-10pm), but there wasn't even one chore that my supervisor hadn't known about. He sat in the same room with us (in the studio) and I could ask him anything.
I guess I'm stuck now at this job...and of course I don't want to look for another job, it doesn't seem right to have too many job changes on the CV.

sounds like most of the jobs I've had too.

Dude, it's not like your job is a wife or something. There's always more out there. Stay there for a year and put your time in, then see what else might be out there without ruffling any feathers.

Well, I know I'll have to stay there for at least a year. The question is how am I gonna do it...It's something I just can't explain, I feel weird when I'm there. I know I've been working only short time there, but after working at numerous places, I've learned to identify the kind of place - if it's good or bad for me. Here, I knew after a week that it's not gonna be a good one. Too bad I couldn't see it before I started there. And it's funny that last week and the week before I got 2-3 phone calls from other places that I had sent my CV to...

Re: OS Off Topic

Im really in a foul mood right now. My wife just got passed over for a promotion for a girl who can't even work full time!!!! You gotta be kidding me. Oh and to top it off, since the old manager got fired my wife has been doing all of her work plus her own, now she has to teach the new manager how to do the job. What a joke. This would have helped us out so much.

Re: OS Off Topic

I've seriously been unhappy lately. I don't really know what it is.. I'll be graduating in a few months here, I'm ready to go to University and everything on the surface seems to be going well. My marks are way better then they've ever been and I got a girlfriend who'd do anything for me.

Everything that happens seems to irratate the hell out of me for some reason. My girlfriend goes out for supper with her coworkers or she'll go do stuff with some casual friends and it bothers me. I trust her, she's given me really no reason not to, but it constantly bugs me. I've spoken to her about it, but she doesn't really get it. She's also noticed my unhappiness but really doesn't try to help cheer me up. She asks how my day is or whatever and I don't say much, then she just gives up. I know when she's down I relentlessly do whatever I can to cheer her up. Her body language has felt distant lately as well.

Other things bother me as well. My shower was broken this morning so I couldn't shower before school, I had a water bottle full of protien powder explode in my backpack, and anyone I talked to today seemed to just bother me. The only thing that seems to keep me content lately is OS, video games and writing. I'm somewhat of an aspiring writer.

I know it's probably just a stage and I'll dig my way out of it. Before my girlfriend now, I experienced a somewhat serious breakup from a 2 year relationship so I know I'll be okay. It may just be stress as well. We have out banquet/prom coming up on Friday and I'm doing the speech that goes out to our entire graduating class.

Anyways... I just needed to vent. This is why I love OS. It gives me somewhere to go and talk when nobody else in my real world seems to be around.

Damn man. I was trying to help you out before. I asked if there was any way you could WORK your way through college or get loans WITHOUT your mom co-signing. And you responded by complaining some more about how your mom won't co-sign.

I already told you my story. Whining about your mom isn't gonna do a damn thing. You have the tools to make it happen. It's not going to be easy and it may cost more, but that's your decision. Sitting on OS repeating your frustration over and over is not going to pay for Bowling Green.
