Neither, but as a collective they are all fucking annoying, so taking one down* as an example may be a good move.


* Is joke, me no crazy person.

Submitted a paper to an relatively important journal. One reviewer said it was great, the other said it was a crock of shit. The editor gave me a month to do extra experiments and re-write it. Have done the former and have given my boss the re-written paper - 10 days ago. Now he hasn't given me back the paper, but is such a control freak that we has banned me from working on the paper. I am bored and I know that I shall get this paper back the day before it is due date and I will be up all night working on it.

It's good to be prof.

Fucking co-workers. The one that an hour ago threw out my miso paste 'because it looked funny' is currently commenting on the journals on my desk. These are for me to read for this paper, but apparently this is wrong and they should one the shelf where they look neat.

Photocopies?

Or, if they're recent, download a pdf version and print?

Older papers, can't be arsed.

Have you considered the possibility that she fancies you?

Dumb Ass Donkey Shit this week-
Took a divot off the top of my thumb while chopping onions while angry

Slipped and fell in the street from the grease that Tony's Teriyaki Crack House empties into the gutter instead of disposing of their fry oil properly. I now have an enormous grapefruit sized bruise on my thigh that is extraordinary for it's purple color tones and how much it fucking hurts.

Donkey award goes to Wells Fucking Fargo for CHARGING me for depositing TOO MUCH CASH in my business account.

The operative word here is CASH. They don't mean money, per se (ha)

Elmer's Carpenter's Glue works better than miso paste anyway.

Well, this has to top everything that has annoyed me in a while.

The neighbor's "boyfriend" is a hideous, wiry, skanky, slurky, paroled cockroach who has repeatedly broken into her house, is loudly abusive and profane, and whom we have called the sheriff on a number of times. They could not do anything unless she or our landlords took out a restraining order.

My husband, being the tall and intimidating strong man that he is, let this worm know that we were done with his presence, as our neighbor has expressed great fear. Plus we're over the loud and profane drama.

Last week, Bob chased him out of the place, and we called the sheriff yet again. They told the neighbor that SHE was the only thing that could stop him from coming around. The next day she said she took out the order, and we all breathed a great sigh of relief.

Then came the problem with serving him, as he's a transient who said, "Go ahead and try to kick me off the property. I'll just tell the sheriff that I live here. I put this address on my drivers license."

So she has been in hiding since Friday, and when I came home today, there was the vermin on her property, doing what I could not see. I pretended to ignore him and came in and called the sheriff.

They arrived, and here is El Loco Crackhead, telling THEM that he lives there, and they tell me that there is no restraining order in place. And that it's his word against mine: he's telling them that he's there to mow the lawn. And I'm telling them, "Look in my backyard and see that brand-new John Deere tractor? I mow the lawn. We are the caretakers, and have been for over nine years."

So they can't get rid of this crack head, and I am standing there with tears running down my face, asking the sheriff how proud is HE to be working with a system of law enforcement, protecting people who really ask for, and need, help?

Worse than that, now the vermin knows that I called the sheriff. He's afraid of Bob, but he's not afraid of me.

The landlord came over immediately, and told the sheriff, "You're telling me that anyone can say they live here, and you won't get them off my property? He could hurt himself and sue me, and it's HIS word against MINE?"

What kind of sick world is this? A paroled freak with a violent past and history of drug use gets to waltz onto our property and claim he lives here?

Hello, Officer, if he lives here, where are his KEYS?

[Adam]

tanabutler - that is just hideous. I hope this is sorted out ASAP and you can get back to normality.

[Ms J]

Tana, that's awful. I hope your neighbour is going to follow up on this - I can't see how someone simply saying they live somewhere makes it true. What's the legislation on squatting where you are?

[Vanessa]

Work is a crock of shit at the moment.
