My grades aren't posted onto my student account yet. I know I got the ones I expected, but that doesn't do any good until they're posted there! I need my anatomy & physiology grade posted NOWWWWWWWWWWW so I can formally and officially submit my nursing school application. There's a 2 year wait, so the sooner I get on that list, the better.
I got fired today (well, Thursday, but I haven't been to bed yet so it still seems like today) because our company lost the only client that has kept us open for 10+ years, they were not going to tell us, just shut the doors, but I found out from our IT Assistant, and I told some other Reps knowing full well they would tell everybody else. The IT Assistant came to clean out his office and told 3 of us what is going on, but I got blamed for the leak, so I'm fired, too. Anyway, tyey have 2 weeks before the doors close and our Boss was told he could not tell us. The other Reps deserve to know. How bad would I be if I kept it to myself? Anyway, I've already applied a bunch of places today and I will try to find twice as many tomorrow. Let the job search begin. It is good to be out of that place.

people who don't respond to emails/pm's. And I know for a fact that they know it is there.
Just be polite and RESPOND. I don't give a sh*t if the answer is negative or whatever - just respond. And don't lie, for crying out loud. It is so easy to find out if you are lying.

What's irritating me today?
What isn't!
Sat in traffic for an hour this morning, got a flat tyre, massive credit card bill arrived later - and that was just the morning!

This is such a first world problem, but I just what to whine about it, and this seems like the appropriate place.
A family member bought me a pair of Uggs for Christmas (yay!) and I am so excited to get them. He paid for second day shipping through UPS, and they were supposed to arrive today, but...
UPS website says it is on time, and that it will be delivered today, but it's after 8pm and it also says the package was in Utah this morning, and I am in Portland, Oregon. Since they are late, I most likely will get the package on Monday, if I'm lucky. I just hate that they got my hopes up by displaying an inaccurate time estimate, and still haven't updated their tracking. And I think it is cheapy of them not to deliver on Saturday since they are late.
End of rant. I'm really really thankful to be getting the Uggs at all, but you know, my feet are cold, now. I am turning up the heater.

That is infuriating! I understand that disgruntled employees are dangerous when they know their job is over, but they have a right to know, and it isn't right for the higher ups to keep that from them. What if someone were buying a house, or a new car, and now they might need their savings for just survival. Rude.
That stinks that you got blamed for the leak. I think you're right that the other reps deserve to know, but what would be the consequences for you, if you told them? If you think it might hurt your references, it might not be worth it. Sometimes when I've told someone the truth when I wasn't supposed to, the person I told, confronted the secret keeper directly with what I said, and told them I was the one who told. I mean, I don't think it's your responsibility to tell everyone, just because you know.

Two conversations I had today.
[Today is Friday]
Them: How long does it take to get special orders in?
Me: One business day.
Them: So, on Saturday?
Me: No. One business day would be Monday.
Them: Okay, let me call my doctor's office.
[A while later]
Doctor's Office: Can you order in this medication?
Me: Yes I can.
DO: How long will it take?
Me: One business day.
DO: Will it be there on Saturday?
Me: No. One business day will be Monday.
DO: Are you sure you can't have it in by Saturday?
Me: Yes, I'm sure. One business day means Monday.
DO: Okay, we'll have to send the order elsewhere. They need it by Saturday.

Going to my FIL's side of the family Christmas get-together tomorrow, and those people are the types of relatives you are secretly ashamed to be related to. And this isn't even the daily rant yet! My MIL is pretty much the only person keeping me sane among those crazies, and she's sick with a cold so she won't be there tomorrow... I'm seriously considering faking a cold too just so I don't have to go -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I have to agree with everyone who asks what isn't irritating me right now. I don't think there's been a single day in the past few years that something hasn't irritated me. Rant time, if any of your are bored enough to actually read this 
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (I only say this because I am haha)!
High school. I'm so over everything about it. I know I literally only have 6 months left, but I feel so burnt out. I've been at the top of my class since middle school and I honestly don't know why I put in any effort before about the 10th grade. If I hadn't, I'd be fine right now. It doesn't help that I seem to be much more mature than everyone else, but I cannot wait another day to be in college. And honestly, the minute graduation is over nothing from high school even matters anymore, so why even bother? Can you tell I have serious senioritis??
Guys. Well, just a couple of them in particular. If you really wanna know, keep reading and I'll tell you (since this is my rant and I can go on if I want!). I started dating this guy about this time last year. I really had no interest in him and tried getting away from him for many months (even dated someone else that I completely regret not sticking with) but he chased after me and I gave in willingly after a while. He did a lot to make me feel special and like he was serious about me. Well we start dating, and he cheats on me. Talks to many many many girls (was doing that the whole time he was chasing me and telling me I was the only one for him) and tells them many of the same lies he told me. I didn't find out a lot of this stuff until later, so all this time we were arguing all the time (mainly because I thought he was cheating on me but he would turn it around on me every time I accused him of it) and he was treating me badly. I did a lot for him: gave him money when he needed it, got into fights with my parents to justify our relationship, brought him food etc. like a nice girlfriend, all sorts of things. He never did anything for me. Then over the summer he moves about an hour away and basically stops talking to me completely. Just recently we hung out because I just can't say no to the guy, and he somehow thinks we are back together. He gets mad because I won't drive an hour to see him every day (he can't drive so its always on me) and he starts fights about every little thing. He used to judge me based off of very childish things and say that I wasn't good enough/needed to change. Anyway, still trying to decide whether to go see him tomorrow or just completely end things. I'm completely over him now (which is a miracle because I was head over heels once I gave into his chasing) by the way. Also along the same lines, I have an ex from a while ago that I really like and I know he really likes me, but hes pretty much against dating (maybe I ruined that because I broke up with him after two weeks and I was probably his first girlfriend
) so I'm stuck in the friend zone. WHAT!!
Last thing I promise! Other drivers. Mainly, those that are turning. I want to know what they are teaching in physics classes these days because you CANNOT be completely stopped and turn at the same time. To turn into your driveway, you CANNOT be completely stopped. Please keep moving!! I know I get a little crazy and daring when I drive (not to mention a teeny weeny bit of road rage), but please try to be respectful of the fact that I have to drive 30 mins from my house to be basically anywhere so on my way home I would rather it not take me an extra hour because you're slow. I just want to get home.
Wow that was way longer than I thought. I wasn't even that irritated when I started writing this. Little did you know, I've just been waiting FOREVER to get to make my point that you must continue to move in order to turn. Anyway, I do feel better now! This thread is awesome!

Looking for a New Job Is Frustrating. Out of 100 jobs that say, "No Experience Necessary" in the title or the top of the ad, 99 will say "Prior Experience Required" in the actual job description. It gets my hopes up again and again, then the disappointment every time. After a while, I just end up crying and I have to give up looking for the day. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

People seem to have gotten the idea that because I am a lesbian and big supporter of ALL LGBT rights, that I am trans. Thus many people at school have been calling me a tr*nny. The school won't do anything about it because the people calling me slurs are on the student council. Hm.
Also the hall monitor has caught onto my habit of hiding out in the handicapped bathroom stall during lunch. She's threatening to report me for "lurking" and "unsanitary behaviour".
Everyone needs to just hop off my highly-rumoured d*ck, in my humble opinion.
Haha, I can't wait for university...

Yesterday was so flippin' busy at work. From open, to close people were just coming through the door. I was so exhausted I could barely move when I got home. Now today is Friday and its a friggin' 10 hour day. First thing this morning my Manager comes parading out of her office declaring that we're going to clean today. I wanted to choke her. She helped customers for maybe 2 hours yesterday. Clean my ass! "Luckily" though its been too busy to clean today.... which I don't know if thats a good or a bad thing. I'm just tired and have very little patience for how incredibly ignorant people are about banking. (I forgot to mention I work at a bank) Things that you would think people should just know as common knowledge, they don't know and act like you're the moron because you know it. Like how you can't put rolled change through the Drive Thru, or how you need a VALID ID to receive cash. I hate so much when someone hands me an expired ID and say "Well its still me...." It actually angers me because I feel like its preventable. The education system has really failed these people!

So true, I'm a notary and people will have a id that's expired or the name isn't a match (ex. Sara P but the paperwork shows Sarah P) and they get all crazy like you make the law. I have one job to verify you are the person listed...that is all. When I was in school, not THAT long ago, we had a business elective that taught you how to use a checkbook, make a deposit, make a withdrawal and whaaaat balance the account! "What do you mean I don't have money? I still have checks!"

It gets better! You have 500-1500 kid at your school, the world has 7+ billion. Trust me if you go above your principle to your district they have to address this, this has lawsuit written all over it. The fact that you are hiding out makes me want to go to your school and kick some a$$. Good luck and remember one day you will be living the life of your dreams and most of them will be medicated housewives and cheating husbands!

I always get worried when you post something about your daily life. You live in such a hostile environment. Like @SaraP said, it will get better. So much of the world is not like this and there are repercussions for such hate.

Thank you guys so much. :')
Same here, and I went to Public school, so its not like I had any more privileges than the general public.
A lot of them don't know how to fill out a check or even spell out the amount that they want. It just makes me infuriated that there are people out there like that and I see them on a daily basis.
I also hear a lot of people get upset when they overdraft because they check their balance over the weekend and don't take into account that we don't receive transaction information.
"Well why did you tell me I had this much money when I didn't?" How is the bank supposed to know what you're out spending? How can you look at your balance and know that you spent $300, but still think you have more than that? And then have the audacity to blame the bank for it?
