Chefelf.com Night Life: Thecomplaining thread. - Chefelf.com Night Life

Ha, I now know WHY I was so lonely today.

Because someone downstairs who woke me up at 7.30am this morning to complain he cannot get on his AOL account (through the cable) turned off the cable transceiver (which is in the same room as him). aaaahhh!!! This is the third time and everytime I told him why he SHOULDN'T unplug the transceiver for ten seconds and all three times the IP changed. I said they were doing works on cable network and if the ready light goes out CLEARLY it means, it is NOT ready. He ignored me and unplugged the transceiver. I said "No, don't do that, it'll reset the IP address." Sometimes I even had to set the router manually. When I ask him he has no reason as to why he pays around $30 dollars a month on AOL just to look at Email with adverts by the side. I just use it sometimes for the free dialup.

Now my IP address has changed and it'll take at least 24 hours before people can use the names to join. As for the type and quantity of wiring I am going to ask how much it would cost to move that transceiver in the same room as the router. It wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't the weekend.

Oh man. I'm sorry, DS. There is nothing worse than someone who doesn't know anything about computers trying to do something with them.

Yeah right. Yesterday I found a package of puppy wormer that had been left by the mail main... IN MY CAR... what the fuck is that! Screw the mailman.

But on a bright note, I did eventually get BSG. And it was AWESOME!


Complaint: My horse escaped again this morning. Now I have to go out and walk a half a mile of fence to see where he busted out. Friking Dru! (Dru is my horse, in case you were wondering)

Complaint: My translation of the Koran makes NO SENSE. Although I'll admit it's funny sometimes in a slightly Monty Python-esque way that's not quite enough to help me succeed on the test this Wednesday. While I'm sure all translations of the Koran are abominations against God, "I feel this one may be a bit more so. And by tomorrow I've got to read about fifty pages of stuff like "And when you killed a man, you disagreed with respect to that. So We said: Strike the with part of the, Thus Alllah brings the dead to life." Yes. Complete with typos. >.<

So far I have been holding roughly an A- in all five classes this semester. I am not sure how it is possible, but I would like to believe that it is because I tried to be more organized.

Today starts midterm week for me.
I am doomed.

I don't want to see my loverly grades go down the drain.

Prayer might not help me out either, I skipped church today. Curse my slothfulness.

Name one that does.

They just don't, I had exactly the same experience with BOTH Korean and Japanese translations I've made. I guess these Asian people live in some other universe.

It is kinda hard to translate something like that because you need such a strong knowledge of the language during the time it was written and the intents of the words and phrases, and it just makes a big mess no matter what you do.

Complaint: 'Tis cold and rainy. I need to dig up a pair of socks, and my clean clothes haven't been put away and I did laundry 9 days ago.

I helped out with hair-dying during my school's orientation, and I gave one girl red streaks in the front and told her it would come out in two or three weeks, because as far as I knew, that was the case with all of the dyes we were using. that was about two months ago, and her hair's still pretty bright red in front. apparently the red dye had some peroxide in it and is considerably more permanent than I had thought.

oooops.

Last year I had "temporary" red hair dye in my hair for three months, so I guess it's not that uncommon.

Complaint: After memorizing 21 different things, many of them dates of reigns and various peoples lives and at least three big chunks of Christian-y goodness, my brain is too shot to memorize any Koran related dates. Although I did discover that if you stay up late enough trying to understand what the heck Mohammed was trying to say, it starts making more sense, due, I think, to the phenomenon of the Muse of Sleep Deprivation. She can often be quite helpful. Her spelling sucks, though.

Complaint: I am no longer allowed to have crisps or ice cream. I have proven myself to be untrustworthy when I possess these foods, and go into an all-out binge.

No crisps. No ice cream. Ever.




And NO Grape Fanta!

.....how?

But...but...chips are good....

I like chips.

Complaint: I have a cyst on my thyroid that I have to get biopsied to check if it's malignant, and what to do with it whether it is or not.

That means I don't have to get the nuclear medicine test after all, but instead, I get a really thick long needle stuck in my THROAT. BLECH. I don't mind needles except THAT does not sound fun at all.

And I have a bitch teacher for my most hated class (printmaking) that said "I don't care if you went to the doctor, an absence is an absence, and I'll count you as absent. (((2 absences mean a full letter grade down on my final grade.))) Also, if you fall behind, you're fucked! *evil laughter*" Okay, maybe I paraphrased after the first sentence.

But...that a legitimate excuse! They're not supposed to count absences against you if it's something like that! You should complain to a higher authority!
