Rant thread

[Aenrhien]

A friend of mine passed away, so I haven't been on my computer very much due to, you know, being depressed over that. And want to know what I logged into MSN to see? Several hundred messages from people calling me every name under the sun for not being online. A whole two people have told me they're sorry for my loss; one I've known since we were five, and the other I've known for maybe six months.

I hate being lazy, but I can't help it and I hate myself for it.
Partly the internets fault for keeping me at it's side the whole day >_<

Oh my gosh. *hugs* I'm so sorry, Aenrhien! Shame on those online jerk wads! I remember when my dog died a few years ago... I cried for hours, so I can relate. I hope you feel better soon. (Obviously, you won't be COMPLETELY better, but...you get the idea. *hugs*)

Oh god, when we had to put my dog down I cried for days, and didn't even look at my computer for nearly a week. I feel... betterish, I guess. Think the only reason I'm even betterish is because he'd call me a wuss and tell me to get on with life if he was here, just like he did with every thing else.

(yes totally borrowing that from Sir- it is that awesome)

If you have a job, go to it. If you want to work. Then work. If you don't want to work then don't but stop griping about not having money if you are too damn lazy to get out and earn it. And No, pms is not an excuse to call in thirty minutes before your shift.

Either call in two hours ahead or take a midol and get over it. If you are cramping that bad it did NOT come on just 30 minutes before your shift started.

I'm so tried of people calling into work and then bitching because I get all the tips and they aren't getting very big pay checks. We are in a service industry. Get over it. If you don't put in hours you don't get paid for the hours you aren't there. If customers know that you constantly call in, of course they aren't going to go to your end of the bar.

And NO! Why should we initiate tip splitting when you don't do anything. Why should I take my four hundred dollar tip night and have to split it up among three others one of which sits on her butt and plays on her phone, the other who seems to drool over every thing with a penis that walks in? Yes we have a job that allows us the leniency of playing with our phones, but our
customers always come first and if you can't realize that then THAT is why you don't get tips. That is why people come to the rest of us and that is exactly why they request us if you walk up to them.

If you are scheduled to work on a night that you can¡¯t come in tell someone when the schedule first comes up so that it can be rearranged. Why should I have my hours cut and taken away from ME because you are going to get your hair done that night? I realize that people go to bars to hook up and have a good time- but we are their to work. The next time I catch this tramp taking someone to the bathroom I'm not only going to fire her but turn her in for prostitution. We are not a cat house, brothel or whore house. If you want to get your jollies off do it at HOME.

Can anyone tell me when "I don't want to" is a viable excuse for not coming into work? And you know WHY this idiot is still working there? Not only is she drooling over and boinking (or at least attempting to) everything with a penis she is also boinking the boss! But can I say anything? No. I'm just the manager I have no say. Sure, I could go to the owner....oh wait the boss is the owner. He's an old bachelor with no girlfriend or woman around to tell on him about. The next closest thing I could go to would be his mom, may she rest in peace.

So basically my rant is all because this little hoochie decides to call in 30 minutes before her shift. Guess who they call in? Hm? Can you guess? Yeah me. Well I can't go in. I've already got and made plans. So I have to listen to the boss man yell at me for fifteen minutes how he has to be able to rely on his employees. GAHRAWR Get over it! It is not my fault the hoochie you are bedding has you so wrapped around her little finger that you can't stand up to her and fire her.

*takes deep breath*

oh! Aenrhien! i hope you will eventually feel better, i know i've had to have some of my cats put down (not the same) but i loved them like family and it killed me everytime and it still makes me cry when i think about it.

[Little]

Aw Aenrhien *hugs* Im sorry for your loss. I hope that you're loved one didn't suffer and that you'll be okay.

[purplecyanide]

I feel like a jerk for not seeing what you wrote Aenrhien.
I hope you feel better eventually, and that your friend is in a better place <3

Little... I feel your pain

I sympathise with you from the highest form of frustration, anger and downright homicidal tendencies. I used to work in a restaurant and everytime someone didn't pitch they'd call me in because I was 'dependable' and a 'good worker'. I never could say no... took me years to learn that and when I did say no, I was the idiot, the slacker, the lazy butt and everything else you can think of.

I actually worked a double shift the one time. From 8-2 and then from 5-11. I had to come in early that day so my shift actually started at about 7:15. Not a bad shift, but you get the idea. I'd just finished the first one and was on my way home, when they called me and demanded I come in because some idiot didn't pitch. So my Shifts then went 7:15-11 at night. When my time to leave finally came, all my tables were done and all my duties. I was done, I was going home. Then my boss came up to me and said; "Hey you have to close to night,"

And guess what? I worked a double the next morning as well -_-

Fun times.

It's a pity the bar isn't a franchise because then you could have contacted the head of it and tell them about the situation.

Another thing you can do is to write about it to the local newspaper. Tell them about the hussy and if any bachelors want to have a good time they should just visit the bar on the nighst she's working. Make it so that it;s scandalous (spellfail) for the bar and that the 'boss' (bloodyasshole) is then forced to fire her.

But apart from that there really isn't much you can do. It's a situation where there is no easy way out and the out come will probably be a nasty one. Try to get her a few written warnings maybe? And then use those to fire her?

Just a thought

I had a friend who ended up having to work an 9 hour lifegaurding shift, during the busiest time of day, right after swim practice, and did a save only to be lectured by the mother about why their child wasn't drowning. I will never be a lifegaurd.

[crazyraven]

yeah if that happened to me i would be annoyed

Is politcally correct, really correct or is it the masses trying to force individual thinking into the dust?

*******Artists paint about racism and freedom, because it sells. Not because they believe it, or because it's their ideals, but for nothing more but a few more dollars in their bank account. Through forced 'mass thinking' we are steadily forcing every person to believe in a 'singular idea' and thus crushing any form of true creativity in great artists or writers.

Most, if not all 'great' movies are New Age themed or try to give messages on how we should live our lives. If a greater power or group controls entertainment they control the masses. Because they are drawn to it like moths to a flame. The very few that shimmer in that boiling cess pool are downgraded by would be critics who are so desperate for some form of fame that they give up everything they believe in so people will just listen.

And doesn't it feel all tingly when they agree with you?

It's an illusion and a sick illusion at that something that artists and actors and writers are trying to force on us. History books are changed to fit in with todays beliefs. Christianity is being regarded as a shackling religion, or in most cases they regard God as someone who does not punish at all. And even when it's not being desrcibed as shaclking, the bible is rewritten in order to appeal to the masses.

I am just wondering, how are we justifying this? If everything can be manipulated, rewritten and changed why are we bothering to try for a better future. When in a hundred years from everything we've done will be rewritten.

How do we justify it?

Sorry, having a bad day and trying to take it out on the masses. Funny thing, I am actually worried that after this post a lot of people are going to hate me... just like the great writers of today. Ironic isn't it?


**********EDIT: Okay for those of who are going to bite my head off about the artist thing. It doesn't have to be racism, my point is they use poltically correct dieas, or mass thinking ideas in order to sell paintings and art. What I'm saying is that doesn't this kill creativity? If everyone is after the money, where's the creativity?

My mother is the world's biggest (insert incredibly long censor bleep here). Dad comes home from work, he's wet, exhausted and hungry, first thing mom wants him to do is go back out in the rain because she hasn't had a cigarette all day. Unthinking moron that I am sometimes, I ask her why she didn't just ask me to go to the store for her before the rain rolled in, seeing as how I've been just upstairs the entire day with nothing better to do but sit in front of my computer. She brings up something that I did five years ago and essentially tells me to go back to being a freak in my room, which results in me literally biting my tongue to keep me from snapping at her - I don't much like the idea of going an knocking on my grandmother's door at 9:00 at night with the excuse of "mommy threw me out".

Dad basically tells mom she'll have to deal with it until he's made a sandwich, both of them ignoring not only my offer to walk to the store for mom and my offer to cook something for dinner. They decide they're going to have a shouting match. This happens often enough that I'm able to completely tune them out while I proceed to make everyone fried bologna sandwiches, which went nice with the homemade potato salad I made yesterday, and completely ignore them both glaring and telling me to go back to my room. Which I didn't do at first of course, I saw the neighbors sitting in their backyard and offered them a sandwich and some potato salad, and was rewarded not only with a thank you from both of them, but with a plush Scooby Doo and their condolences that I lost my friend.

This all happened roughly an hour ago, and not only are they still yelling, but I'm now awake for the duration because they woke me up. And to top it all off nicely? I want a cup of tea since I'm up, but that requires going back downstairs long enough to boil water and steep a tea bag. Ugh.
