Schoolyard Bullshit

Okay, I realize it's been a long ass time since I posted on here but that is because I usually have enough time between the fury triggering event and my access to a computer to calm down. This time however, the rage is not subsiding and more than likely won't anytime soon.

I have recently discovered a fatal flaw in the college program I am enrolled in. I am taking a computer hardware/networking course which in case you are unaware has abso-fucking-lutely nothing to do with computer programming since I will never at any point need to sit down and write my own program to do something that no one has ever had the need for before. The problem is that thanks to a bunch of fucking whiners who don't know what they want to do with their lives before they drop $4000 on a year of college complained that they wanted to switch between a programming major and hardware major.

Thanks to these fuckholes every single person who enrolls in either of those programs has to take both the hardware and programming classes for the first semester. That sounds good at first. Until you think about the fact that the people who take hardware courses are doing to because they don't know fuck all about programming. Once again, not really a problem if you are in a class to teach programming to people for the very first time. The issue is that the class is "introduction to professional programming. Which assumes you already know about programming and are comfortable with it. So the textbook and teacher assume you don't need a lot of guidance and just tell you how to fancy up your work and properly document it. You do get a giant reference manual to look at, which again assumes YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!

What we have here is a case of sacrificing the many for the benefit of the few. I have not heard of a single person so far who has started as a programmer and decided to switch, or visa versa. This is one of the single worst ideas I have ever come across. It is a tremendous waste of time, since 90% of the people involved will never use the shit they learn ever again. It is also a waste of money, since they need teachers who could be using their time for actual constructive purposes. This doesn't benefit anybody, especially since if you want to see what programming is like you are allowed to sit in on classes even if you aren't enrolled in that program. So there is literally no need for this type of setup. The common first semester just wastes everybody's time and energy. If you are too retarded to make up your mind what you want to do with your life before you pay thousands of dollars on education, your teachers should have held you back several times.....in fucking kindergarten, you bunch of douchecakes.

Pointless Drama

Okay, so this particular blog is targeted towards certain people, they know who they are. I would use names, but I have a few unrelated people who read this so I wont. This is really just a complaint about unnecessary amounts of drama out of nowhere. It started with a simple complaint about being woken up in the mornings by a toddler. Keep in mind that it was after 9am, so it's really not that bad. Even the complaint about it wasn't that bad. Unnecessary, but not all too terrible. The thing that makes this ridiculous is how many other pieces of drama got started up from it so that the situation now involves the whole fucking family as opposed to the only 2 people it actually concerns. Another awesome point here is that most of this build up of drama has nothing to do with anything. Not even a little bit related to the initial situation. People just need to learn to let shit go. That's for everyone involved, not just a single person.

Gigantic Man Child: Part the Second

Okay, this is another entry about the same jackass man child I wrote about some time ago now. This time, I had some advanced warning about the douchetacular behaviour that was about to begin. The issue this time revolved around not having anything for supper, I know massive deal. I can see how that would cause a tantrum in any grown man almost 50 years old in front of his kid and grandchild. Ok so this is how it went. I took my nephew over to visit grandma and papa, thinking good times would be had. When I got there no one knew what to have for supper. So man childs idea was to go to the grocery store and pick something up. Here's the catch: he is apparantly afraid of venturing to the grocery store alone and when my mother said she didn't want to go, he then proceeded to get her shoes and drop them in front of her and 'insist' she go. That's bullshit right there. Especially when she is trying to spend time with her grandson. So when she still wouldn't go he then stomped off pouting, and said he wasn't going to go then either. So, since he sat at home most of the day and failed to think of the dinner predicament at any point my mum maid some pancakes, since thats all they had, for everyone but him. To prove a point about how childish he was. So when my mom took me and carter to the store, just for something to do, he went out to grab something to eat. Now, if he has money to go out to eat, but couldn't be bothered to suggest that for supper instead of sitting on his fat fucking manatee ass all damn day wanting everything done for him, it's his own damn fault if he gets treated like a douchebag.

The finale here is that when he finally did explode about this situation, which according to him is in no way his fault, he uses the fact that he was up at 11:30 trying to line up some painting jobs. Big fucking deal! Up at the crack of noon! You lazy son of a bitch. If only everybody could have a day as busy and taxing as that! The other thing that makes the 'hard day of work' argument pointless is that my mom got home at 5, straight from work and he immediately asks whats for supper! Keep in mind that she works 8:30 to 5, monday to friday every week and he still expects her to come home and make supper. EVERY FUCKING DAY! So if she wants him to handle supper once, it's really not that big of a deal. Get off your stupid fucking ass, reach around your giant ass beer keg stomach and make fucking supper! Seriously, I don't even know how people tolerate his existence day in day out. About 30 more seconds of yelling, in front of carter no less, and he would have been wearing fist on his face. Lesson here: don't be such an ass-backwards, lazy fucking douchecake!

Mac Vs. PC

Okay, so these mac vs pc commercials are really getting annoying. Mac is not super awesome when compared to a pc. They also aren't as easy to use as the commercials would have you believe. Just like a PC it really depends on what you are used to and your comfort level with that system. Granted, Vista was the biggest failure to ever hit the computer world in the history of time and that didn't help PCs at all. Look at XP though, that system rules, its what I currently use and plan to keep using for the foreseeable future. Another huge flaw in the "Mac kicks PCs ass" argument is that Macs have an almost non-existent game catalogue. You sure as shit can't play any new kick ass games on them. Setting up a network is also a little complicated on Macs. Mostly because the menus are poorly structured. Also, what the fuck is up with the complete lack of right-clicking!? I don't want to have to open a damn menu twice just to cut and paste something. Come on Mac, get with the now! If you want a computer that does the same thing a Mac does then just go with linux. It has even less threat of virus, and its completely free. Shut the fuck up mac. you are not the promised land. Stop using your trickery on the old and stupid (not necessarily the same people).

Useless Douchebags

Okay I have discovered a whole new level of douche. This chick at work who just came back from college. For some retarded reason they kept her on the payroll so she could resume work upon completion of her semester. Usually I would have no problem with this as most people returning from college know how to work and have no problems doing what needs to be done. This assclown however, appears to redifine the word useless. First off, when she was told to make the subs for the day (about 30/40 mini subs) she took almost 4 fucking hours. That ridiculous. It should take maybe 1 to 1 & 1/2 hours. What makes this even more retarded is the fact that she completely ignored all customers the whole damn day and it still took four times the length it should have. Even better, she made the fucking PREGNANT LADY do all the other work (stoking salads, serving customers, etc). I had to stop what I was doing several times in order to help out. I am not usually supposed to be behind the counter since I have to stock our shelves before all the god damn meat hits room temp and cant be sold. To make it better, whenever she did move her fucking ass to help someone she left the meat/cheese out for everyone else to put away. At one point I must have had to put almost a dozen away at once. That's ri-goddamn-diculous. She also disappears for about 20 minute intervals to god knows where. Every single person in the deli I talked to about this fucking hates her because she is soooo useless. My boss even cut her hours to a single 4hr shift per week in an effort to get rid of her! I say good luck Isabel, good fucking luck. People like this need to be rounded up and shot in the face, at point blank range, with a shotgun.

Sad Little King

Okay I realize I havent posted anything in a long ass time. Mostly because I haven't stayed pissed off long enough to get onto the computer and actually spend time writing about it. Today, however, I feel the need to write because of how ass backwards the thinking of this particular person is.

This one is about the store manager where I work. He came out of his little throne room and took my supervisor aside for about 10 minutes to tell her we are all far too slow for his liking, and also to cut hours from her department. So he said that for today we needed to have the order completed in an hour and a half. Which is bullshit. My supervisor can't really do any serious work on the order due to back injury, and I am only one person. The order is usually around 100 boxes, not including the chickens I usually end up fetching for the hot food department. The solution posed was that as of next week I will be on counter duty and Wayne will be putting the order away. This makes no god damn sense whatsoever. Wayne is only a few years away from retirement and isn't in the best of shape to be hauling heavy ass boxes around all day. So that is going to go slower than ever with the new "time saving plan". It's genius isn't it? Put the slower person on order alone in order to get it done faster! Makes sense to me.... you fucking dolt. Part 2 of this was to cut hours in the deli. So not only am I not doing the order, but I am only working 2 days next week instead of 4. So there will be less people to serve customers, but they have to serve them faster than 4 people ever did. Perfect reasoning wouldn't you say?

I think the real issue here is that this man is on a massive power trip. I think he realized that most of the departments in his store don't really need him, and the higher-ups are around a lot these days. Which means he was cut out of the loop, the poor bastard. Which means he felt the need to assert his authority once more. So he came up with the most ass backwards plan that is sure to fail, just so he can come along and off a solution to fix it, which will no doubt just being to put it back the way it was. This man is clearly a sad little king, ruling over a sad little hill. Not nearly as important as he thinks he is, but with just enough power to make everyone else miserable. How about we schedule this man for an emergency cranial-rectal extraction ASAP. Maybe that will take care of him.

People who refuse to accept defeat

Okay so this post is about my boss at work. She refused to accept the fact that I was right and she was wrong. In this case its because I was sent back into the cooler at work to fetch boxes of chickens for the hot foods area to cook up. We were supposed to get a bunch of big chickens and few small. The company sent us all small though, im assuming they didn't have enough large to meet demand, and I told her this. At which point she stated that they should be back there. I am well aware of what should be there, I am also aware of what is actually there. I pointed out that they did in fact send the correct amount but not the right type. She then said that there was no record of them substituting small for larges and that I must be mistaken. Two minutes later she reports to me that they are all there. I'd like to point out that I was never disputing the amount of shit back there, just the fact that it was the wrong shit. Now I had just spent almost 20 minutes tearing that cooler apart looking for the right chickens, since hot foods desperately needed them, only to have someone come out later and basically tell me that not only can I not read but I am also retarded. Thats bullshit. I do this same shit every damn day. I think I know what I'm doing at this point. I'd also like to point out that at this point in time a sheet saying what was delivered, even printed from some computer somewhere, is dependent on some jackass typing in the right info. It is entirely possible that joe blow just put in the wrong info. Technically I don't even have to do this as part of my job. Hot foods has people capable of this task. So in the event that I do this and report something you don't want to hear, don't fucking tell me I'm retarded. Once again, that's bullshit. Also, just so you know. I checked in the main cooler today at work, and low and behold, no large chickens to be found! Go fucking figure.
