I would like to complain about the stupid people in my apartment building. We have a laundry room in which we have two washing machines, two dryers. People usually use both washers and one dryer and they are done. So this morning, I go out to do some laundry, and someone is using both machines. So I leave my basket full of dirty clothes and come back to check every ten minutes or so to see when I can start my washing. Lo and behold, in between me checking, some fucker jumped the queue in front of me and put their washing on! Even though I was next! I'm so annoyed because I'm still sitting in my pyjamas waiting to have a shower after I wash! And to top it off, I have a sneaking suspicion that the washing machines eat clothes, because both NMN and I are missing a shirt each that mysteriously went missing after we did laundry. FUCK

EDIT - Hooray! After nearly two hours of waiting, the stupid person who jumped the queue finally took their wet clothes out of the washer so I could use it1 .

Now find the shirts and everything should be all peachy again. Are you sure that the machine ate them or did someone get a five finger discount?

NMN's shirt has been MIA for a month now, and mine for about two weeks. I'm thinking they got left behind in the dryer by accident and someone helped themselves...assholes. I even put up a sign in the laundry room saying that they were missing, but no response. Hmph.

Me Venting...
*Walks in the room. Turns around. a loud sound comes from his behind* "aaaah that needed venting"

Oh. Not that kind of venting?

My gddamned back is killing me. It got better and now it is worse once again.
The pain is shifting from left to right and back again.
I cant even bend forward or stand up straight.
My left hipjoint is hurting cause of that.
Let me discribe the feeling in my back in one simple "word".
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG H!!!!

Ok. Now. In more words.

It feels like somebody is putting a knife in my spine and twisting it around. When I turn it feels like a burning fire along my lower back and when I lay myself down It is the same. It is like someone dropped a ton of bricks on it and strapped it there.

Ah well. The best explanation might still be.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!

Quite a Monday.

First, I was 2 minutes late to my job. (In case you didn't know, I'm a clerk at a fire station. Part of my National Service.) That was enough for the Captain to hold me back until 9pm. Meaning 3 more hours of that place. Full of people whose idea of being nice is mimicking my so-called Caucasian accent. Ask any Caucasian, I don't sound like one at all. Maybe my phonetics is simply better?

Anyway, in a nutshell, a gas cylinder nearly fell on my leg, I trip and nearly fell on the Commander (read: very big fish) and I ripped my uniform. Plus, the usual hectic workload and overbearing manager.

Fine, your usual "Nothing goes right" day. I actually felt very Zen about it. I just went about my work calmly.

But at 6pm, when I usually sign off, I got the news over SMS.

One of my best friends nearly died from an asthmatic attack today.

At which point, I couldn't hold it any longer and cried my heart out in the office, which was fortunately empty. Months of pent-up tension all let out.

My friend is fine, by the way. She's recuperating nicely in the hospital. I'm just so sorry I couldn't see her today because visiting hours were over by the time I was let out.

Hmmm, So he didn't let you leave sooner cause of your friend almost dying? Did you tell him? Cause otherwise you could put the hose to him. (or just sue his ass)

I wish all the best for your friend.

I honestly don't have anything to vent. Well, I do, but how many times can I complain about my workplace (broken copiers galore!) or my parents (Dad's being unfair again. I'm kinda bored about it at this point actually) or this huge zit on my nose?

I just wanted to say that I have been hoping that this forum can come back to its 2003-2004 heyday, but with life being what it is and sucking our time away from anything considered fun, that's not going to happen, and that's a shame.

I guess this isn't a new topic, so I won't drone on. I just wanted to say that I had a blast here, and I miss those days. I'm not leaving, I'll just pop on by, drop a few posts, try to reach the 1000 post mark and keep on making fun of NMN's sideburns. And if you see me on MySpace and Facebook, just drop me a line and I'll humor you.

Just to make sure this post ends on topic: beer prices are rising! Whaddap wit dat?! GAAAAAAAH! RAGERAGERAGERAGERAGE!

There, all vented out. I'll see y'all around.

Oh god I've needed this place.

Public transport sucks, raising tickets by more than 10% each year is a rip off when the system is falling in a heap and needs to be damn well fixed. But at the other end of that, car's are too fucking expensive, mine keeps deciding to die and it's currently sitting in a Holden dealership about to cost me a fortune. Fuck.

Abuse victims who go back to the abuser on the basis of 'he loves me' need to fucking realise that they need serious help, they need to start realising this is affecting more than just them and realise that their family is hurting a fuckload more than they are.

Parents who chose partners over children are equally fucked up, especially when ultimatums were issued and the choice surely very clear.

I'm sick of flat tires. They suck. They suck more when you have to change it with bandaged fingers after almost slicing two off and washing hands after changing the damn tire is fucking hard without getting the wounds wet.

I hate 2008 already, it needs to hurry the hell up.

Money is a bitch, it's impossible to save for the bond on a place of your own when car's are draining your resources. It should grow on trees. Someone should work out how to do that...I'll be forever indebted to them...excuse the pun.

I repeat, this is exactly what I've needed the past couple of weeks...thank god for MM.

Well I was gonna complain about the cocky packers fans at work who need a swift kick in the ass, but I suppose that pales in comparison to Eon's laundry list. Hang in there, and long live MM!
