complaint: the internets told me that the documents I was looking for were at the library. the library was closed last night by the time I could do anything about it, so I wound up not working on my paper. so I get to the library today, find the microfilm section, and it goes back to maybe 1993. I need stuff from the 1960s. there is a little sign that says, 'if you are looking for anything prior to 1993, please go to this website:' followed by a URL. so basically, a trip to the library for nothing. not like it's far, it's maybe 100 meters from my dorm, but I could have worked on the paper last night had I known that the library would send me right back to the internet.

Complaint: Have barely started a lab report the night before it's due, thanks to my other insane amounts of homework and the fact that I would rather do almost anything than work on a lab report. Plus, I still have no clue what information to put where, and although I am perfectly capable of writing very good essays on obscure metaphors in books, I seem to lack any ability whatsoever to actually write lab reports coherantly.
Right, lab reports are officially my least favorite non-life threatening thing. When I take over the world I will have all of them burned at stake without trials. Burn, papery hellspawn, burn!

Complaints: <rant>I forgot to go to me piano exam that was last night, because it was on an effing Sunday and so of course I'm not going to remember it... Also, we keep trying to set up my surgery and the doctors and hospitals keep giving us the runaround. Hospital: "Oh, you need to call Dr. X about that." Dr. X.: "Oh, call Dr. Y." Dr. Y: "You should talk to the hospital." GRR. At this rate, I'm going to have to cut the damned thing out myself. And I have so much other shit to do for all my classes and I'm getting pretty discouraged and burned out. Bleh. </rant>

That's allright, Ms Poetic just has to call you names and then, when you swing at her, stand in just the right place.

Complaint:
Grargh! This day was a nearly complete waste of time! Java for eight hours, with a professor who's - simply put - socially inept. And stupid. Came up with a basic problem that he couldn't even solve on his own, while it took me five minutes to do just that. Yeah. Five minutes. That makes five minutes of work. You'll notice that this is slightly less than the aforementioned eight goddamn hours!
Furthermore, you'll probably understand that I was very, very, very bored today. Oh, and some jerks at the office had the brilliant idea to gather everyone at the university to announce that they had spent a lot of time thinking, but didn't really come up with anything important in the end. Woohoo. Great job people, I hope you all die a slow and painful death among hamsters. And another two hours wasted. So I get home and only have two hours left of the day. A day which I could have completely spent on drawing so many goddamn lines... *clenches fist*... alrighty, sorry about the rant, just had to vent a little.
Only a little, though. Don't think that my Java professor is gettin' off the hook that easily... he will pay... in time, they're all gonna pay...

Just how I felt everyday until four years ago.
People who make mountains out of molehills.
They said it was natural to be bored, suppose to stimulate the mind. I say it stimulated my frustration.
That sounds shoddy coming from a university but I have seen worse.
Someone complained that two of their vital courses were cancelled at their university due to staff shortages straight after they paid making the year pointless and nearly got kicked out of for not joining the mandatory evening activities. The evening activity was about enjoying yourself by going out to pubs in groups to party.

Ok, this is a complaining thread, and although Im not really wanting to complain here, but just begin to the table some ideas, etc..but if you wish to view this as a rant or complaint, so be it.
I consider myself to be a pretty avid sports fan. Im not a hardcore sports fan, so if you asked me how many RBI's Sosa had during a given game or season, I wouldnt know. But I do enjoy a wide variety of sports
There seems to have been many new expansion teams created in the past couple of years, particularly hockey, but the other leagues have expanded too.
Most major cities in the U.S. have all 4 leagues.
New York City: Islanders/Rangers Jets/Giants Mets/Yankees Knicks
Chicago: Blackhawks Bears Bulls White Sox
Phoenix: Cardinals Diamondbacks Suns Coyotes
Minneapolis: Vikings Twins Wild Timberwolves
Now I know that the Arizona Cardinals, are not called the Phoenix Cardinals,..and likewise,.The Vikings arent called the Minneapolis Vikings. However, if there is a chief metropolitan area where these teams play their home games at, its obviously the aforementioned cities. Likewise,.The Patriots might as well be the Boston Patriots.
I wish that for every city that has at least one major team, they had all four. thats right,.if you have an nba team,.you need nhl, mlb and nfl too. have them all,.or have none.
below i have compiled a list of proposed team names i have created for these cities that need other teams
Nashville, TN: MLB: catfish NBA: shooters
Houston:Tx NHL: Nitro
Los Angeles: NFL: Spartans
San Diego: NBA: Enigma NHL: Piranhas
If you can think of some other team names youd like to see cities have, feel free to list such.
