I am so disgusted and irritated.
Apparently our landlord let a contractor into the house while I was at work today. I got home from work to find mosquitos buzzing around the house, crushed cigarette butts in the bathroom, tobacco scattered all over the bathroom floor, and the floor in the back room covered with dirt [...]
I have to rant here.
Asparagus, broccoli, and carrots, which used to be in Aya’s top five of ANYTHING to eat, are completely out now. She no longer likes any vegetables. She recognized my dismay after she bluntly admitted this on Sunday and insisted she still liked fruit, but she couldn’t identify any fruit [...]
“You’ve only been sick for a couple days. . . ?” The receptionist drawls in a smug, supercilious tone. “Well, Doctor doesn’t prescribe Tamiflu, and I don’t have any openings today. How about two days from now? That’s all we have. You can always go to urgent care or the emergency room.”

I can admit when I’m wrong. But I’m not in the wrong, not when I extend the olive branch and you shove it back in my face. The only mistake I made there was attempting to be open, honest, and conciliatory to you.

Whinge alert.
I find myself feeling a little out of sorts today, and I’m not sure why.

It’s not all that bad. It’s right by the freeway, so the commute is decent. There’s enough security that no random crazies can barge in and menace [...]
To help alleviate the enormous ($40 billion) budget deficit California is facing, the Governator has this plan to require State workers to take 2 days of furlough every month. State workers are already suffering from losing two paid holidays a year, plus their contribution to medical insurance premiums has increased to the tune of about [...]

I think it’s ludicrous that Generation Y job-seekers persist in holding out for the field, position, salary and benefits they feel match their college degree. Employers do value education, but they value work experience more.
While it’s lovely that these 20somethings have a parental cushion to fall back on when their job expectations are [...]
I’ve heard from several people that there’s been a recent rash of sensual, sexual, and downright explicit RP happening in live chat in various rooms at Dragon’s Mark.
This is nothing new.
Back in March, 2008, Panther, arguably the most well-known and public face of the Admins at Dragon’s Mark, found it necessary to post “The Red [...]
