Kvetching Corner: It's Griping Time!

[Desert]

this was started impulsively by a rather frustrated Desert, but if this gets too unruly we might have to get rid of it. but while it's up, feel free to use it.

as the title suggest, here is a place to voice all your gripes and complaints. from the pettiest problems to the biggest OHSHIT moments, if you have something you want to complain about, do it here so we stop spamming the cbox. XD

be as vulgar as you want - God knows if you get into a good complaint you gonna cuss and swear and make your grandparents turn in their graves if only they knew what you were saying.

the rules are that you keep the stuff here to things that won't make the admin get on your ass. don't get anyone else on WoP involved, basically. the point of this is to give you a place to get off your chest stuff that happens off this site - maybe irl bullshit. try not to name names. this Complaint Corner is meant to let you use the anonymity of the internet to say things you might not want to say on FB or MySpace or irl, but you still want to get them out there.

if you see a complaint on here that's a problem that you think you can help with, take it to PMs and not use this thread or the cbox. at that point it becomes personal business and not something we all want or need to see.

so let the griping begin!

and it looks like i'll be the first customer.

THIS IS SO FUCKING TEDIOUS. e_e

i've got to turn a bunch of numbers into a bunch of percents and there's like five hundred of the fuckers and i've got to average those numbers and then i've got more numbers to do statistical shit to and it's already past 9:00. i started six hours ago writing this damn paper, all i've got left is the results part which is what i've been doing for the past couple hours. shoot me now.

it's a really good thing i didn't put this off 'til tomorrow 'cos it's due Tuesday and i'd be up all fucking night if i didn't start on this until after class tomorrow.

I hate moving. Particularly because after today not only will everything be everywhere as I don't have a place to move in yet, but I will be doing it all again in a few short weeks when I do find a place, but on a larger scale as all the furniture will be shifted again. Not to mention I hate renting, I hate trying to find a suitable rental and I hate getting excited about getting a place only to be rejected.

It really pisses me of when you've put so much hard work into something and then someone goes as passes it off as 'sparse' and 'not much effort put into it'.

For example, I handed in my assignments today.

One was brilliant, got the best grade possible for it.

The next was apparently.... mediocre. I got the middle grade. Which is still better than 80% of people on my course who only get the lowest grade, or no grade at all. Despite having spent over 12 hours solid for two days running, working my ass off to make sure absolutely every aspect of the assingment was covered, it wasn't good enough because I'm expected to get perfect grades and this grade wasn't top standard. Like anyone is capable of being perfect.

And my final assignment wasn't finished due to the fact I haven't been able to use the studio because every fucker else has booked it three or four times. Except my tutors doesn't understand and his words were 'I'm quite disappointed because you've got such high standars, what's going wrong, they are slipping quite a lot.'

Now, explaining to him that i work from 8.30am to 6.00pm every day except for a sunday that I'm not in college, I thought this would solve it... but no his next statement is that I should cut down hours at work. My response was 'Well how am i going to live? I can't use leaves as money and unless the college is going to pay for my living costs, nu-uh not a chance.' But still not good enough.

It just fucks me off big time because noone else is expected to be so brilliant and perfect, just because my first few assignments were good, now everything has to be immaculate. I'm not a wonderwoman, but these people just don't understand that! ARGHHHHHH!

(Needed to get that off my chest and I'm pretty sure my partner's sick of hearing about my hate for my college tutors. Sorry for the cussing and general RAWR!)

okay so i need to rant and get this out.

in my school, our RSA (resident student association) is all kinds of fucked up. we're supposed to do things to help the students living on campus have a better life; we've done things like getting wifi hotspots in the residence halls, and getting our school onto the StudentsFirst laundry system so we don't have to hoarde quarters to wash our clothes.

but there's a faction that doesn't want to do a damn thing. they think they can manipulate the governing documents and our voting reps, take over the executive board, and turn the organization's meeting into happy fun social time.

pretty much the only thing they haven't done is overtly tampering with the bylaws. they've pushed and harassed the committee to get a rush-job of a constitution, filibustered to get their way so they could pretty much rig the elections. they managed to get their whole ticket into the board, and where does that leave us? with a crew of morons led by a conniving bitch who are trying their damnedest to turn our organization into their personal playtime.

fuck.

that.

shit.

it's driven the ones with an ounce of sense to making a fucking shadow board and work from the background to keep these ijjits from fucking up. we've been busting our asses all summer, plotting ways to get the executives to resign.

it's like the shenanigans you hear about in the US Congress. i swear to god! under any other circumstances i would want no part in conniving to depose members of an executive board, especially when they want to replace one of them with me, but i see no other fucking way.

murf. i'm not getting more deeply entrenched in this than i have to, and i've already rebuffed suggestions that i run for an even higher office. between this bullshit and my academics i'm already gonna have a ridiculous semester. e_e

and this is the only place where i can vent, really, since what we're doing is supposed to be secret. my main confidant means well, but he can't keep secrets for shit. -siiigh-
