There is a Facebook group called "I don't care if it's 4 am, you're my best friend and ill take care of you." I shall not rant about the grammar because whatever as far as that is concerned, but I will say that I am a terrible person because I would do that for anyone, not just my friends, and I don't see my friends as being any better or any more deserving of my attention or encouragement than anyone else in the world, because they're not. I'm the same way with family. This is a vent because objectivity is a principle that is not in any way praised in this culture and is instead denigrated, and I say I am a terrible person for that reason. Lots of people are that way, and we're all considered horrible people for being the way we naturally are. I just see groups like that all the time on my feed and it's just... AAAAAHHHHH.

I get annoyed at stupid things. :clap:

I want to vent, but then again, I don't know what I want to vent about.

Ok, I guess it's going to be about the maturity level of some people. I have a Facebook and if I'm bored I'll randomly comment people's status or like them or put my input out there if it has any sort of relevance at all to me or something I know or was reminded of. What else are you to do on a Social Networking site. So someone goes and proceeds to say I'm creepin because I actively have used Facebook and can comment on anything I have a desire to do so. My biggest vent is why the fuck do you care what I do on Facebook, you have every option to ignore it and not be bothered by it, but you go ahead and comment on it yourself with "Why you Creepin?" For what purpose does that give you? To be annoying once again like you are in your actual life?

I really don't even know why I liked that girl in the first place, recently all she has been is an utter bitch and basically her real life persona is quite childish and very immature. Oh well, glad I'm over that chick because I just don't care about high school bullshit and immaturity at all. You act like you do in High School, more times then not, you won't make it very far in life, act all childish no one will take you serious, you act like a tool you're going to get your ass beat in.

Here's a vent....

My manager was in town (LA) all week and flew back home yesterday afternoon (She lives and works mainly in Virginia).
Before she left yesterday she asked me to come into the office this morning because I usually work from home on Fridays.

It turns out, she wanted me to be here because a biz dev guy was getting fired and she wanted me here to collect his company property and make sure he didn't go ape shit.

1. You had all week to fire him face to face and it's just shitty not to
2. "Security guard" is not in my job description

On the positive side I'm taking his laptop which is the newer model of macbook pro...an upgrade from the one I've been using the last 2 years :)

It's stupid when you need to vent about whatever but no matter who you pick to vent to it would be awkward, so you just kind of let things build up until you explode when completely alone. Something has to be intensely bothering me for months if not a year or more for me to even begin considering telling another person, and then I choose very carefully... so once it's to that point, if I still can't say anything it just goes nuts and there's nothing to do but shut down/turn everything back onto me... or go crazy, but that's not an option because it requires letting others know that something's up, and I don't want to be a bother or deal with people who can't fully get it.

That's probably the most personal thing I've ever said on here lol. Oh well. That's the position I'm currently in.

I like the way we do things. When someone's getting canned that isn't a call center agent, I get told about it day of. HR and that person's manager come over and pull them into an office, and send me a text message. I then remote in and log them out, scramble passwords on the back end, and shut off their network port. HR becomes responsible for all their shit.

Venting.....well I just got braces and my teeth fucking hurt like hell. One week in and I'm already pissed off.

I'm a better artist than my figure drawing teacher will ever be and she constantly "critiques" my work but when she does she is completely wrong. I think she does it because she's a dry old hag and can't handle students who don't think of her as an art god. I try to be nice about her comments but end up having to say things like "I'm sorry but that shadow you're alluding to isn't as dark as you think it is" or "if you would stop chatting with the model while I'm trying to draw her mouth then it would have been done by now".

I have three galleries begging for my work and between school and kids I have no time to fulfill these wishes. I have been asked to be part of a great art group in town with tons of connections and find I have no time to get any work done for them...ugh.

Yeah...it's a much smoother operation back at the mothership...I'm in a sparsely populated branch office so we don't have any HR onsite...or management for that matter ;)

post note. guess who didnt bring in their box cutter that i gave him, once again, using other peoples. i also got reprimanded for using a swiss army knife, because it wasnt issued to me, and how i should take care of my things and not lose my box cutter.

he also left early, and left a massive mess that i had to clean up.

Awesome, a venting thread! Exactly what I need right now!

I just got done writing 3 essays, each 10+ pages. I have 3 more 10+ page essays due at the start of the week and then a few smaller essays due Thursday. You know what makes this even better? The fact that I work overnights EVERY SINGLE NIGHT this weekend and week. So I'm going to be going to school on no sleep each day, taking finals on no sleep, and attempting to write damn near 50 more pages of material by monday, while battling drunken idiots and attempting to hand them shitty breakfast food at all hours of the night/wee hours of the morning.

/Vent.

Did, and I'm not going to lie, she is gorgeous and we used to talk all the time, but she's not the same as she used to be. I guess she isn't so bad by herself, but when she is around her friends who are all morons to be around they all turn into well, morons. but then again, what else are you going to do in High School now? Actually act smart and be mature, that's an afterthought.

Any ideas?

This is such a good idea for a thread. I need it so bad right now.

I've been attending college full time since I was 16 and dropped out of high school. I've been going with loans and scholarships and earned myself a 3.8 GPA, and never asked my parents for any money, because I knew they didn't have it. I've taken the last 2 years off of school because I had to work full time, then my health and my parents' health started sucking, but I'm finally ready to go back and earn that degree.
My grandmother passed away last year and left us an inheritance which helps a lot with the constant financial struggles. Unfortunately, they're choosing to hold it over my head that now that they can help, they can in turn make all of my decisions for me. I've been financially independent for some time now, and I hate the idea that receiving help means rescinding my rights to have the ultimate decision of where I go to school and what I major in.

There's such an incredibly fine line between disrespect and doing what you need to do -- I hate feeling like I'm toeing it all the time, but at 21 years old, I feel I've earned that right.

This vent is super lame compared to everyone else's.

Now that prom is about a month away, it is acceptable to talk about. I was originally in this one limo (Rebecca's) but I switched because they were dividing it among 4 girls and myself, then the girls would split it with their dates. So I would've had to pay $120 because I'm going by myself. My other friend (Alexandra) asked me to be in her limo, and that was going to be $45. So now I am in with Alexandra . . .
We are planning to go the Albright Knox to take pictures before. We just wanted it to be our limo that was there, because I guess last year everybody went to the same place to take pictures. But then Rebecca's group wants to come with us, so I said I didn't know what we were doing because it was suppposed to be a secret. But somehow they found out and they want to come, but Alexandra (I guess, this is just what I'm hearing) told them that they can't come. And then Rebecca and her peeps are getting all worked up, "it's public property we can go wherever!" Yes, you can go wherever, and you didn't think to go to the Albright Knox so don't come!!! They wanted to go to the Burchfield park in West Seneca . . . where the hell can you take pictures there? It's a friggin forest there!!! I wouldn't tell them that, that's just my opinion. This probably won't come up in lunch for a while, but next time it does I am going to tell them my piece. It came up yesterday, but I wasn't worked up about anything to unleash my rude tone on them, and it wouldn't have come out right if I wasn't feeling mean.

The End.

Well Craigslist is gay, I put my car back up only yesterday, and some douches flagged it for removal.

It seems as it was changed or had conflicting ID's with someone else post.

I don't know though, people are gay.

Yeah ok...well I need to vent about my job. I told myself I would never complain about my job anywhere on the internet, but whtever.

So exams are coming up in a few weeks and I've been getting pretty stressed out over it. My grades were less than stellar this semester and I want to do really well on my exams so I can get good grades in my classes. I work at a movie theatre and when you work the night shift you either work until 11:45 or 12:30. Either way, you're there late. I asked my head manager a few weeks ago if it would be alright if I could only be scheduled for days until my finals are over (which is May 13th) and she said that would be fine, since it was for school and it was only temporary. So then I told my other manager who was in charge of the schedule the situation and she was fine with it.

Then last week I found out that my manager who used to be in charge with the scheduling is leaving, so another manager is now doing the scheduling. I was in Toronto all last weekend for a school trip so I hadn't had a chance to talk to him 1-on-1 about my situation, but he had heard about it through my other two managers that I had previously talked to. So I was scheduled to work tonight even though I had asked not to work nights anymore. It sort of annoyed me, but I have tomorrow off so I figured I could swing working tonight.

So then tonight when I came into work I went to book off the days I needed off, the days before my finals so I can spend them studying. Friday night was all full, and I volunteer at Roswell every Friday so I wanted to have the night off so I could have time to myself to study and do whatever, plus it's easier for my family because I don't have a car and that way I wouldn't be out all day Friday with one of our cars. So I asked my manager if I could have that day off and he said no. Even though I explained to him that I told our head manager that I couldn't work nights for a little while and she said that it was okay. His response was, "Well she isn't the one that makes the schedule." That's true, but I'm pretty damn sure she pulls rank over you! I told him that even if he schedules me on Friday that it's going to be hard for me to come in, and that I will try find someone to switch with me or pick up my shift (which is highly unlikely), but if I couldn't find someone to come in, then I'm not coming in either. He said that if I don't come in that I'll get written up.

On one side, I shouldn't give a shit if I get written up...this is just a part-time, minimum-wage job so whatever, but it annoys me because I'm getting shafted. I've been there for 2 years and I'm one of their best employees. I'm trained for all the positions and I do a good job. I'm always doing the "little things" that seem to go unnoticed. I'm always on time and I rarely call in sick. I'm cordial to the customers and I get along with all of my employees and co-workers. So it just pisses me off that they won't give me a break... I mean it's for a legitmate reason. I just want to focus on my finals for the next few weeks. And once May 13th rolls around, I'll be back to working nights again and my availability will be wide open since I'll be finished with school.

When they try to write me up for not coming in I'm going to refuse to sign it and state everything that I just wrote. I just think it's bullshit that they can't give me a damn break...it's not a big deal. This job isn't worth the headaches... I need a new job anyways, something that pays more. I've been looking to get a job waitressing or hostessing, but I was thinking about waiting until school was finished before I started looking for one. But now I think I'm just going to look for one ASAP.
