Man I'm just full of rantiness today.

The guy I usually buy computer stuff from wants to charge me R7000 for a 24" LCD? Fuck, I know you can get those for around R3800 or something! He's always been uber-cheap and now all of a sudden it's like wtf?

Gee, what's with the 'let's all fuck with *insertmyrealname*' thing today?

I need a vacation.

Darcnyss · 01-07-2008, 01:58 AM

It seems to be a typical Monday here at work. Code that worked perfectly on Friday keeps giving me the finger today.

I currently feel like punching a hole in my monitor.

Nevan · 01-07-2008, 02:02 AM

I don't have a monitor

Darcnyss · 01-07-2008, 02:09 AM

That sucks!

Yeah, I know what you mean about people trying to sell you computer hardware for ridiculous prices. Last week some guy tried to sell me a 17" CRT monitor for R1600. I mean, heck! It's a CRT, not a bloody LCD!

Nevan · 01-07-2008, 02:26 AM

Ha - He probably managed to smear that monitor off for the same price on some innocent person that doesn't know any better. Pisses me off that people will take you for a ride like that.

It's a pity I'm not interested in love anymore ... A pity for someone is not me ... I just don't want this anymore , really , It's consuming me and my nerves ... I hate to jump into relationships where I'll be always hiting my head against the wall and wasting time and energy I should invest in learn useful things ... It's just NOT WORTH ANYMORE .

Nevan · 01-08-2008, 11:43 PM

aaargh!!!!!!!!!!

MY NEIGHBOUR IS BUGGING THE FUCKING CRAP OUT OF ME!!!!!!

Are some people so fucking thick that they do not get 'goodbye, see you tomorrow' - is that so hard to understand? Ewg - I am seriously creeped out. This guy is simply too much. And I refuse to move because of him. How the hell do I make it clear to him that he should fuck off when he doesn't even understand a simple 'Sorry, but you're not my type'?

My girl-friend tells me we should get some tall, burly, intimidating guy to come pose as my boyfriend or something and maybe he'll back off. But that shouldn't be necessary?

Why the fuck do these people always end up around me? Am I a weird-imbecille magnet or something?

AAAAARRRRGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Darcnyss · 01-09-2008, 12:06 AM

Urg! I feel like crap today. For some reason I just haven't been sleeping well this entire week. I actually overslept today and ended up late for work.
I feel like a damn zombie and am just not in the mood for anything at all.
My temper's also rather short today, and the smallest things annoy me.

Nevan, sounds like you've got a rather nasty problem on your hands there. I wish I could give you some advice on dealing with idiots like that. Sadly, those types of situations aren't really my forte.

Hopeless_Joe · 01-09-2008, 12:09 AM

wow nevan. sounds craptacular. personally, i'd just tell him outright to catch a boat to fuckoffity land. or just a simple fuck off works as well. there's not much more you can say to someone, and if they don't get the point then...well, 10 friends and a crowbar will do the trick.

Nevan · 01-09-2008, 12:15 AM

But I got a serious problem here. We live in two seperate apartments on one property - he's the unofficial 'caretaker' for the place and he does all the handy jobs - I cannot really afford to have a bad relationship with him, but I certainly don't want him sticking around and making himself comfortable at my place either.

He simply DOES NOT KNOW WHEN TO LEAVE! Twice now I ended up sharing my dinner (which is always just enough for one person) because he doesn't get the fucking hint.

And Darcnyss - Yeah, sucks. I get lots of those days. Nothing a good espresso can't fix - have one on me

Hopeless_Joe · 01-09-2008, 12:18 AM

i'd go the 10 friends (wearing masks) and a crowbar route then. but i don't deal with people very well....

Nevan · 01-09-2008, 12:20 AM

I like it, but that could be dangerous though - he's a police officer and always armed.

Hopeless_Joe · 01-09-2008, 12:22 AM

yeah, that definitely changes things. use a chainsaw instead.

Darcnyss · 01-09-2008, 12:26 AM

Damn, Nevan.

That DOES sound like a serious problem. Also a very bad situation that he's the caretaker. If not for that a simple 'get lost' might have worked.
Best of luck and wish I had better advice.

And thanks for the espresso!

Nevan · 01-09-2008, 12:28 AM

Hopeless_Joe - Jesus you're cruel.... I don't want to permanently disfigure the guy - just get my point across loud and clear.

Pancakes with cream, 'carnation treat' and gooseberries to follow. (divine if anything)

I shall immerse myself in loud music for the rest of the day. Tonight we start fencing again so I'll be out of that place four nights a week - it's a bit of a relief.

Oh you have no idea - it's the bestest thing for this kind of weather

Darcnyss · 01-09-2008, 01:19 AM

I'm actually starting to feel a bit depressed. Why? I have no clue. I just feel extremely unhappy today.

Green.Lady · 01-09-2008, 01:54 AM

Gnet has lost its spark for me.

Nevan · 01-09-2008, 01:55 AM

Darcnyss - Are you a 'roses and sunshine' type of person? Maybe it's just the weather.

Darcnyss · 01-09-2008, 01:57 AM

Nevan, I actually love this weather! Roses I'll go for, but sunshine? I avoid that at all costs!

Nevan · 01-09-2008, 01:58 AM

Well then. Maybe you just need a hug.

*e-hug*

Darcnyss · 01-09-2008, 02:01 AM

Thank you

It's probably just periodic. We've got a weird influx of newbies and stuff so just hang in there and it might turn again.
