the rant thread

Rant to every single good party being on during the day.

What happened to night parties?

Fuck getting offtap where everyone can see me in full view!

That just spells paranoia to me 

Fuck, I'm paranoid enough- let alone adding that factor.

I second your rant erika... day parties are just too civilised   

Bunch of people with their hair all done, designer sunglasses and wearing skirts with leg warmers and those fuckin plaits wrapped around their head used as a make-believe headband. fucking hate those headbands. Pointless!

everyone begins to look the same to me at those parties, to the point I cant recognise people.

Besides the fact Im blind as a bat 

And despite what people say, the crowd is never as good looking as you imagine they are in the dark 

True!

I'm way better looking with the lights off!

 

 

Heaps of hot guys at park life on the weekend, i like day parties, you just dont get too offtap till the sun goes down or wear sunglasses all day. Park life was well messy by 8pm thats for sure. Hot day parties = guys with muscles and their tops off, not bad imo

 :lol:

Yes you have a point there.

Rant to finding out that hair and  make up for my wedding for 4 bridesmaids and a bride plus trials will cost me around $1200.

Fark!

I need a beauty person who can come to my house do make up and hair! Not just one or the other either. If any of you girls know anyone who can do both for cash lemme know!

Maybe I wil just call lell. Does she do make up though?

whens your wedding?

First and final warning.

josh, i rarely use caps or proper grammar on here as if you have never noticed.

what happens after a warning?

do you seriously think its something i will care about? 

thought that was my final warning?

I've decided to let it slide as you used both vagina and footy in the same post.

Two things I've never been able to play properly by the way.

Not til next nov however considering how fast places book up I need to start looking to book it now. Plus I will probably pay for it soon depending on the cost  

 

 :lol:

Rant to Foxtel still being offline! Get your shit together cunts!

Rant to moving. We're only going 50m up the street. Shouldn't be this fucking tedious!

Jesus! Did you shop around? Mine's costing about $450 (for 6 people) for make up and $280 for 4 people's hair.

pretty happy ali and i have our place locked in for whenever we need it.

good luck finding what you are after erika.

Rant to not being able to go to the Snoop Dog & Ice Cube concert in Melbourne.

rant to having horrible hafever today and not being able to breathe properly   

rant to this working week.

END ALREADY!!

Rant to the cough that never ends

Have they mentioned whether or not they will be crediting you for all this down time?

 No mention yet but I will def be taking it up with them once it's sorted.

 Fucking useless cunts to deal with as well cos it bills through Telstra. Spent 30 mins on the phone this morning only to be told to call back later.

 Pathetic.

Co-Sign... Fuckin over it!

rant to running out of grandparents only one left now. rip grandpa ken 

Thanks Chris, where did you book? exciting! tell me more.


Ive managed to get it down to $1015, thats for hair trials and make up. still a fkn jip! 
 
Im not going to do a bridesmaids make up trial anymore. Just me.    Those bitches are hot enuff haha

Reubs told me I had to tighten the money belt a lil last night.

I have kinda overbudgeted. Big time. 

Rant to possible glandular fever.

we haven't booked a place.

a friend of ours mum has a beautiful little property in the hills that has it's own chapel, hall and sleeping facilities for our friends.

going to be awesome. we're pretty much doing the rest of it ourselves.

am I still handling the ceremony? Ol' Father Q

lol 0o0oo he sounds creepy actually

molesting children since 1980

you are master of ceremonies i believe mate.

can't think of anybody that would be better suited for either.

just keep your nuts in check when the family arrives.

 

only if touching myself inappropriately at a very early age counts




and Chris I can't make those sort of promises;)

that's still good enough for us

pukey AM love-inn 

That sounds awesome I am really happy for you. Date?

rant to being stuck at work late finishing off a job and everyone else pissing off and leaving it to me

Massive fuck off rant to technology!

I recorded my interview with Freq Nasty and it went really well, and played it back in the recording program and it sound fine, but then when I tried to open it up in another program it appears as a 0 sized file 

rant to getting a speeding fine on the first day of our trip, I'm all cool with paying the whopping fine, but spewing about the potential loss of demerit points.
rant to Warrnambool, possibly the biggest shit hole I have ever visited. Felt like you had to be an inbred to visit the town.

rant to impatient and disrespectful drivers, driving right up my arse when i'm already doing 5 over the speed limit and i'm a fucking learner on a really busy road.

give me a break fuckers 

rant also to really bad dreams   

awwwwww

no thanks. i'm engaged.


hehe. nah we are waiting until we've built our place before we worry about a date. need to know how much money we have before worrying about when it's going to be.

 

Well if you dont want a date then how about some prunes? 

Sounds good about the house bizo. Then you can carry your missus over the door step on your wedding night ! 

God, I forgot about the carrying over the doorstep thing.

Congrats on the engagement, Chris. It probably happened ages ago but I had no clue, so you get my congrats now. 

Rant to no rain. I want rain. I need rain. Business suffers with no rain. Where was yesterday's rain? All we got was wind and then humidity! Come on you so-called God, stop being a fucker and pour some down. Do you want more farmers committing suicide? Or how about more people moving off the land so when it finally DOES rain, there's nobody left to grow anything that we need.
Fuxake!

i could use the regularity.

yeah, that's pretty much the plan. before we jump into the rest of our lives, we want to have everything else somewhat sorted to eleviate the stress when it does finally happen.

thankyou so much too caitlyn. yeah it was a fair while ago now. december last year i popped the question. i don't think i've actually congratulated yourself either, so i wish you guys all the best both now and in the future as well. xx

god we're all growing up.

Thanks Chris!

Yep, all growing up. Do you guys ever get the willies about it? I know I do. I sometimes want to go back to the nutty 22 year old who partied all night, managed to work all day and then go party some more.
But then I go out till 4am one Saturday and I am stuffed till two days later! 

Growing older and wiser is all good. I just have to remember not to get so caught up in being responsible sometimes.

Yeh I freak out about settling down. However I have partied so hard that I have done my dash....

...Oh hold on... I still do party like a rockstar! 

Just because you are getting married doesnt mean you have to contain the wild within 

The only thing that wigs me out is my partner is 8 years older than me, so he is a little more serious and wiser than me and sometimes frowns upon my behaviour.

HAHA sucked in reuben! Prepare for it to happen for the rest of your life BUDDY!!!

HAHA

Yeah... you only have to do that if you have kids!


Yeah same here but I love the age difference 

Yeh, Men definately do get sexier as they get older 

I wish I had a partner who is 8 years younger than me. (Read. 11 years old)

haha yeah we get that a bit. ali moreso than me though.

it's pretty easy for us to revert back to our youth though when you have friends like we do.

bless em.

rofl

i agree to some extent.

i was looking at smelly teenage boys on the train the other week. gosh they are gross. smelly hair, bad skin, pitchy voice etc lol

kinda the oposite for teenage girls though, all perky and what not, you boys had it good through puberty.

Everyone hits their prime at a different age though. Some teenage boys look like little angels but grow up all goofy looking 

What I want to know, is why hasnt anyone told these boys to wear deodorant? I walked outside for lunch today, and encountered several B.O. incidences.

Traumatic. To such a point that I made it my facebook status update earlier. 

Someone needs to educate these kids from a young age I reckon

mines 7 years my jr


*swish*

I was doing and saying exactly the same thing as you 8 years ago.

Worked a treat hey?

 

yep, you're the yardstick.

fuck we've all got no hope   

might as well get a headstart and hit the bulb now 

Rant to feeling like absolute crap all this week and not being able to sleep properly Must be getting sick

Same here. Way behind in uni stuff as well but just can't get motivated to do it.

My motivation is non existent this week too. Maybe it's the change in weather ?

I'll bet you're normally right on track and full of motivation when it comes to uni work 

Not really but it's a good excuse!


Pretty sure I have glandular fever but I'm hoping it's the weather instead. All the people I've kissed lately better watch out

*Edit*: Rant to forgetting my bankcard when I went to Coles.

I wondered what you were doing!

rant to feeling so terribly down & out today.   

awww that's no good


Rant to STILL having a stupid annoying cough

Rant to sunburn and this aint no normal sunburn either happened last friday and i haven't been able to wear shoes since, yesterday i had a small ray of hope that the pain was over as the skin roke and started to peel but alas the virgin skin underneath is just as painful.

On top of all that my backpack including phone and some other things got swept away by the sea on friday fucking cunt poseidon

I can relate.

Rant to everyfuckingthing. 

School holidays.

Too many bloody kids in the city!

Glandular Fever it is. Perfect timing for it as well. Right in the high time of work and uni.

rant to people that make you feel guilty for no reason!!! 

rant to conceited eff heads!!

Spewin mate!!! I had it a few years back and although it def wasn't pleasant, I got off easy and was pretty much back to normal within 2 weeks. Even then I got a rare bacterial infection with it and nearly died when I first went to hospital. Actually maybe I didn't get off easy... But not everyone gets it really bad if you know what I mean. I've known people who have been out of it for more than a month.

Yeah I'm hoping I pull out of it quickly. I got all paranoid after reading wikipedia and finding out you can get a ruptured spleen from it. Right now my muscles feel like they are eating away at themselves. Fucking annoying.

Rant to Natho having Glandular Fever, it really sucks, take it easy as for the first 2 weeks.

Rant to stuff that burns me and makes me cry no matter how much I try to ignore it.

rant to my sound card not working after installing my new video card

Edit: Fuckin thing just miraculously started working

Now to get the Orange Box on the d/l
TF2 here I come

fuck i'm so fucking bored got no phone to call anyone and still can't wear shoes to go anywhere sucks balls big time

I feel ur pain mate. I was lost without my phone!!!
Just blaze up, all will feel better.

gots no weed sucka

fucking rant scaling the fucking walls

Rant to my phone fucking up some how last night. The screen on looks pretty cool and colourful but it's no use to me.

That's bad luck with three phones in this household in less than a week!

Godammit, must be something in the AM waters...

My phone crashed loading a music player app last night and now it doesn't boot. Just throws up a white screen like normal then instead of continuing with said white screen to the Nokia handshake, it goes to a black screen and dimly flashes a few times.

Now to try and deal with Three Australia support from over here and hopefully get into a Nokia Repair Centre under warranty and all that jazz. It's a Nokia 6120 Classic just under a year into contract.

Being incommunicado in a foreign country really sucks, not to mention the fact my phone was my alarm clock and watch, screwing me over majorly. I've also got a bunch of contacts saved to phone memory which I hadn't backed up to my SD card...

So pissed right now...

usually the warranty for most electronic goods is only valid in the county of purchase

fuck the bass nazi next door is a self centred fucking whore.
 Granted we may not be the archetypal neighbours but i a haven't even smashed it up this weekend  was just listening to some tunes through the computer speakers. Which is the quietest method of listening available at my house bar of course headphones and the mole still had the cops around here 5 mins ago. She does it just to spite me and schwatta in a fickle attempt at some kind of assertion of dominance.
 I hate that horrible old piece of post forked haggis with a passion.

Let's smash it out in about 6 hours time. Teach her that it's all relative, things could be much worse for the old cunt.

i had the same problem every weekend cops would be ere then i put a kingsize matress against the window lol

Ever considered moving in with CleasC?

if it were my name on the deed i would believe you me as it is when we move from this house we putting p.a's out the back and smashing from friday to sunday night.


the room where the decks are has mattresses covering all the walls and the window but the computer and t.v and shit aren't at that end of the house

Rant to the long weekend being over.

seconded. I'd also like to add hooting owls and mating koalas to this rant

  Awwww

and hypo possums.



and loud middle aged people.

me "wtf is that? why is someone taking the bins out now??"

u "nah thats just the possums on the roof"


hooting owls, mating koalas, possums the size of dwarves-you so live in the country!

Rant to everything being quite fucked at the moment.

rant to my house being trashed at the moment and me not having any motivation what so ever to clean it yet

Mega word, I was so tempted to throw a sickie today.

BUT, Rant to actually getting a cold. Luckily it was at the end of the long weekend but it prevented sleep and makes me feel yucky. Bring on the psuedoephedrine tablets! To bad the chemist never lets me buy them.

Rant to developing a strange attraction to cheesy pop music at the moment.

I feel so dirty.

rant to being so tired & having no motivation to do any work when I have an issue to get out on thursday!!!

Rant to Jodi Nash being booked the days I want her, and she is looking the only half decent make up artist I like

Grrr

Hair and beauty dramas suck!

Fuk paying for curls and more curls, fuk I am scared of looking like Queen Elizabeth the III walking down the fricken aisle

i know a make up artist but since i don't wear make up i don't know how good she is

name and details please. I could search for her in the web? Does she do cash jobs? Suss it out for me.

Is she a scrubber or is she classy 

You can determine from that....

Rant to not having hospital insurance now i need it

Rant to not having hospital insurance now i need it

I dunno sometimes I reckon private health is a waste of money. I pay $200 a month for top cover, and I still had to pay $400 towards getting new glasses

a bit disheartening I reckon to pay towards something and even be ripped off when paying big bucks.

Im gonna drop my cover soon because of it

When you need an operation and there is a 12 months waiting list, Hospital cover seems like a good idea all of a sudden!

A little update...I rang 3 customer care yesterday and it sounds like I would have been covered under the 1 year warranty that Nokia provides despite not being in Australia. Get this though, I couldn't remember the exact date I started the contract but it was October 4th! So I was 2 days out of warranty when I rang so no dice...

How's this though...the phone stuffed up on October 4th, completely random crash and now it doesn't boot right?

NOKIA WARRANTY CONSPIRACY!!!!

Bastards. Talk about timing. Hopefully a firware flash is gonna get me up and running again probably still cost me 50 bucks or more.

May well fix it up   

do it yourself, very easy

what is the model and carrier?

Not sure how much you earn but be careful you don't just drop your hospital cover and end up paying the same in tax due to the surcharge.

Woooooo, come on you can tell me, what song?

You serious? Who are you with? I'm with mutual community and my glasses only cost 300. Pretty damn flash. I think I got a 160 dollar rebate or something. You probably got more expensive frames than me though. I got the home brand ones.

rant to discovering that I've been gettin ripped off at work
Fuck this permanent salary bullshit, I'm going back to contracting (after the xmas holidays).

It's not even one song. There's a whole bunch I find myself singing along to in my head.

MILEY CYRUS ROX 4 EVA & EVA!!!! WOOOOOH

No way.

Just take the easy way out... die.

[video: www.youtube.com]

Better than Miley Cyrus. Had this song stuck in my head a lot lately. By stuck in my head I mean I've been watching the video clip every hour. With the sound off...

With your pants off don't you mean?

Na I don't need to take them off. I have some very handy skills...

i mean i don't mind em young but thats just gross

There must be better looking 13 year old girls than that around.

see when Noddy does it, at least there's a pedophile joke in there.

when Nath does it, it's just gross.

That's because I'm not joking when I do it. Kind of creepy huh.

Nokia 6120 Classic. Three network.

The trouble is I can't even get it to boot into anything so the PC won't recognise it and I'm pretty sure buying one of those proper flashing devices that don't need the phone to be active will cost more than a care centre doing it. What do you think?

-1 that is all.

Rant to J.T getting engaged *heart breaks*

rant to not being able to get to the normal shops for my hair product and being stuck with the only stuff I could purchase at 7am this morning. It feels like I've stuck my head in a tub of grease.

IMO for top level cover to work for you, you need to be taking advantage of all the benefits your cover pays towards.
For people who claim gym, masseuse, chiropractor, osteopath, dentist, orthodontist etc all in one year, top level suits.
Anyone just wanting hospital cover and a few extras, you should be able to sort an appropriate level of cover with your provider. I have top level everything cover with CBHS, after work discount its $40 a fortnight. The money I spent on the premium I would easily save back after claiming.

You can't always predict what medical services you're going to require though. If you have a low level of cover then you suddenly need some specialist because of a medical problem you come across, then it's going to cost you. Plus the fact that with most specialists you'll get moved higher up the queue if you've got an insurer willing to pay...

what happens if you press "3", "*" and the green send buttons while powering phone on?
will it start up?

also try removing your memory card if it has one

If you can get phone to be recognised by the PC (with the correct nokia drivers) then you can do it pretty easily via Nokia Software Updater.

Unfortunately there are no cool unofficial firmwares or monsterpacks around.

I've tried the hard reset (Green + * + 3) and it does nothing unfortunately. With and without memory card.

Exactly, ive got extra's cover with health partners, which is all i thought id need cos i can claim my chiro practic and dental, i never could foresee needing an operation, whilst on the waiting list the medical problem can get worse, but then if i have cover i'd have to pay a gap, but id get it done faster. I wonder if i can call up and ask to increase my cover to hospital too, and see if i can negotiate the waiting period because ive been with them for so long...

worth a try for sure bec

:/ 12 month waiting on cover unless im in an accident.

:/ 12 month waiting on cover unless im in an accident.

You should be able to, as long as it's not a pre-existing condition.

Even then, just threaten to leave and they'll come up with something for you.

Are you for real?

thats so wrong dude, not the kinda thing to be admitting on a forum.

The lady said that they wouldnt negotiate because my previous hospital cover had lapsed for 2 years, so i now have to wait out my 12 months

gee i reckon i've known you for about 2 years, now what you could be spending the money from your hospital insurance on....? lol

you've actually known me for a bit longer than that, what could you attribute your poor memory too 

you've actually known me for a bit longer than that, what could you attribute your poor memory too  :E

HAHA

I even found myself watching the Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus best of both worlds over the weekend.

Reuben couldnt handle it so he went fishing.

 

*Waiting to be V&*

Rant to realising that the Big Ups ticker is not how many times you get bigged up, but how many times you post in the big ups thread.

Doh!

Even deleting my post still is included on the ticker.

Uhm, no it's not.

a little bit off the mark erika. have a look in the site news and feedback section for answers.

*double post*

who are you with? that seems like a ridiculous amount of money to pay for health care.

i'm with health partners, and i pay about $110 a month for full cover (pretty much). my knee re-construction only cost me $49.95 because of it, and my physio was only $24 instead of $65 for the 8 months afterwards too.

health cover is seriously worth getting the older you get. especially if you are looking to have children after you get married.

 

 :lol:

Wow 49.95 for a recon is crazy cheap

 

yeah the total bill would have been just over $5000 for everything if i didn't have the cover.

it's pretty much paid for itself for 5 years.

all this health cover talk just reminded me to pay my bill!

thanks guys!

chris did you try and get a better deal with the physio?

Often if you're going to need long term treatment you can strike up a deal with the physio since they know you'll be a repeat customer and you've got private health cover.

i never realised i could have done that.

ah well. not to worry, been and gone now. will keep that in mind for the future though, thanks mate.

Worth keeping in mind. Specialists who are dealing with patients (customers as well remember) who are going to need long term treatment are worth looking after from their perspective.

definitely worth knowing for the future. thanks again mate.

 
thanks chris 

Man I was off the mark!

What i wanna know is, who the hell reads the news section

1 drink tonight and ill be legless!

Today?? 

rant to the number of posts I've made today that only contain  or

Rant to Australia Post for putting up stamp prices by 5 cents. That's a bloody inconvenience when the week before you bought 200 50c stamps! You could have told me to wait!
When they went from 40c to 50c there was this big ad campaign. Nothing this time, I think they were scared of angry office admin ladies.

Went up nearly a month ago now and yeah no mention anywhere. we only found out coz we had to pay $290 for a software upgrade for our franking machine.

i wonder when the grey period will end and peoples mail will stop being delivered if they only have 50c stamps on them.

that will cause all sorts of shambles.

surely they could use some profits from this price rise to pay for some measley advertising to let everyone know...

lol "franking machine" Sounds awesome

 

10 gig left to use up today, can't find fucking anything worthwhile.

Rant to getting this horrible virus over the weekend after a two and a half week stint with sickness a couple of weeks back.

ditto, rant to gettin the flu when I fuckin stay in for a quiet night/weekend!!!

Rant to feeling terrible and having your sinusitis come back and then seeing you're out of Rhinocourt Aqueous. So, I send in the "I'm sick" sms and hop back into bed. I wake up at 9.30 to see a sms from the boss saying "What about your exam today?"
FECKERN! So, quick brekky, shower and 40 min drive to work to do this exam (hoorah for open book) and now a 40 min drive back to my place then to the doctor.

Rant to my clutch starting to slip and having to fork out for a new one + labour

little red bullet's biting the dust finally is it?

you have pushed the thing to the limit on a regular basis though

rant to feeling like utter gash

x 100

phone companies are meant to provide a phone that lasts the length of the contract. not many people realise this. if they aren't willing to upgrade you contact the accc

but if i upgrade, does that mean i take out another 2 year contract?

i ring vodafone and theyre useless! i have had three people tell me they don't know when my contract finishes! grrr!

just go in there, show some cleavage and i'm sure you will be fine 

rant to fucking tooth aches serious pain

Yes vodafone are useless... I called them yesterday and the girl couldn't tell me why my prepaid phone had been cancelled 

She said I have to sign up another prepaid card and get my old number swapped over.... I hope that's the truth 

Rant to walruses not being available in Australia

Gizmo = mogwai 

Oh I love Gizmo!

Rant to our landlord and not being officially on the lease yet to have a go at them. Time to rectify that.

The shower had to have some tiles replaced before the crew moved in. They said to not shower in there for 48 hours, left it 3 or 4 days. Then the tiles fall out, they come back to replace them and say it was because they did not have time to fix it before we moved in. So don't advertise as it being ready yet! Anyway, now the thing is leaking through the floor and we can see the effects in the kitchen. They come back a third time to fix it and then tell us they are not taking any further responsibility for it because we've had more than 1 person using it?! Seriously WTF?! A shower can wear out from overuse? How fcking stupid do you think we are?

Remember how I got my phone a month or so before I left? It's now majorly fucked, the firmware reflash I was hoping could fix it can't be done, it's apparently a hardware fault. I've got it in the Nokia Care centre right now, still waiting on the outcome. They span me some bullshit about it not being in Thailand so they don't have the software to put back on it, etc. How hard is it for them to get software/firmware from Australia or whatever! Seriously! They checked the phone and it's IMEI code states country as Luxembourg! WTF!? 3 must be getting some cheapo phone deals from there or something.

So yeah anyway if it ain't fixable what's the go phone gurus? I still have 12 months from 24 left on my contract. I might have to post it back and see if my parents can take it in and get it replaced by 3 or something.

id like to see where that is written in the contract. ive worked in mobile and never heard that one...

i dont see how phone companies are supposed to provide a phone that lasts for two years given they dont even make the phones themselves and even the manufacturers only cover 12 months warranty

not to mention a lot of people are retarded and drop their phones or get their phones wet



early upgrade = another contract

you could always purchase a cheap prepaid handset to tide you over til this contract is over if you want to wait it out and sign up elsewhere

it can probably be done, but they should be able to reactivate your first number - unless they have fucked up something majorly on their end...

id call and ask to speak to a team leader/manager

i hear it on leon byner (5aa) every time the head honcho from the accc is on there. so many people ring up about it.

Ways in which talkback radio provides useful information - 1

Don't worry, I'll keep count.

Do not get me started on how bad Vodafone are, I had so many issues trying to pay a phone bill after I had canceled the contract it was not funny.

Then yesterday I get another invoice in the mail, I have no idea what it is for so I call them after about twenty minutes of fucking around with a consultant I get cut off, I was slight infuriated and I will try to call them again today.

Rant to unexpected bullshit ruining my super positive day yesterday, and more than likely my holiday next week.

Rant to said bullshit making me unsure of what to believe anymore, and who to trust.

Rant to being so far away from everyone

 

so i guess what you are saying is that ain't true?

rant to the world series of poker not going up on ezytv yesterday, can't find a proper download anywhere

Rant to being told that I have infected vocal chords. I would have preferred tonsilitis! They can give you drugs for that! I just have to ride this out.

But it means two days off work as I am not allowed to speak to clients. Huzzah, angry Sri Lankans can call the boss instead of me.

sorry, i should have said  "+1" or ": 1"

rant to one of my best mates moving to nepal this weekend... it's only 5 months, but after 10 years of constant hanging out it's gonna feel like forever.   

oh i so want squirrels here too! so cute!

Rant to being sick for a week. I slept for 12 hours last night and my body wants more

i feel your pain. i'm up to day 5 of feeling horrid.

Word. I am feeling better today though, just in time for the weekend! Still sound like a 90yo who's been smoking 2 packs a day for her whole life though.

You guys are fucking pathetic.

I've been sick all week but managed to come in to work and party on the weekend.

Infact I would go so far as to say the steady booze intake is what kept me on the ball.

Rant to working with a fucking dominating possessive hoe bag of a moleslut

 

0o0oow yea that feels better

Rant to it being too bright outside. I just walked in and I'm practically blind.

Try staying inside permanently then. Works for me.

whingey woo woo!

sun is good

Makes it hard to see my computer screen when the sun is shining on it.

Can't smoke inside innit.

Depends where you are I guess...

True. Can't smoke inside here. Can't wait until I own my own house.

Yuuuuck! I hate being inside a smoker's house or car.

gold.




rant to the sheister tax accountant at ITP Flinders Park lying through his teeth at me, being an arrogant fuck head, and wasting my time.

Exactly. Then I don't get free-loaders at my house.

fucking mega rant to chemical records, poor customer service

Rant to exams. I don't want to be able to examine wheat and tell you what's wrong with it. Not today. Rar.

I totally agree with that one today.

I am feeling like absolute crap at the moment. I think its time for detox.
Or rehab. That would do 

Rant to feeling like I'm getting an ear infection, a week after another one had just cleared up : (

Rant to liars. I don't understand how people can tell such bold face fucking lies. Do they not have a fucking conscience?

rant to clueless people who seem to think your business can operate on margins of 1.5-1.75% and then in the next sentence ask for marketing funds of $5-10k

 

There are two types of people I hate in life

1) Liars

2) Incompetent people

I stand by those rules in life hey.

I used to have a friend who was a chronic liar, in one way it used to make me angry when she would lie straight to my face but on the other hand I thought it was kinda sad.  Liars are the worst, as their lies just build on and on. Most of the time they dont have a conscience as in the end they dont know whats the truth and what not and they start believing their own bullshit.

Yeah, I really don't have time for 'em, eh!

Rant to not being able to afford Eric Clapton tickets


No, no we don't.

Although, I could be lying about that...

rant to this teaching prac..

Rant to all teaching pracs 

Terry has a friend like that. Terry lets him hang around as he has no other friends, but I regularly kick him out of the house. In his (very slight) defence, he was dropped on his head as a kid.

Basically every single word he breathes is a lie. Bold faced lie, that he tries to back up with more lies. For example;
Him "My Canadian uncles are the strongest men in the world"
Me "Really, stronger than those Scottish highlanders who throw those big poles around?"
Him "Yeah, they can throw two!"
Me "Do you know how big those poles are?"
Him "Yeeeah course I do, they're as long as this house twice."
Me "sigh."

Others include his standard magna being faster than WRXes, his uncles dogs being the largest in the world, him being a karate black belt, him having 5 girls on the go at once, him having three uni degrees and the list goes on and on and on. I warn people about him before they meet him and they don't believe me. They spend 15 mins with him and ask me to save them.
Oh yeah, his nickname is Goofy.

i wholeheartedly agree. pretty much make me sick. always have always will.


He's probably lying about that too.

Hehe possibly. But then he'd have no excuse for being so fucked in the head and that is a scary thought!

WOW!

Did you ever say to goofy "are you lying!?"

My former friend used to have a problem with using and would lie straight up to us when she was gurning and when she wasnt. We would go out for big dinner on a fricken wednesday night and she would be tuned. Not that I have a problem with that, but why lie about it straight to my face? And then not eat anything! Dont come if you arent going to eat food. Shesh. Thats the whole point of going out for dinner... to eat something! And then the shit she would dribble when she was gurning was  astronomical. Alot of us would sit back and watch and be entertained. Amusing for a Wednesday night.

The thing was, she wasnt stupid so I dont know where alot of it came from. And none of us had the heart to tell her we knew she was lying.  One time she ate all her own stuff at a party at my house and then when she ran out she then went around and accused Reubens family of stealing the stuff out of her bag and eating it for themselves. 

Arr I could go on and on.

Not "Are you lying?" as a question but "You are lying!" as a statement. Over and over we say it, even Terry says it. My favourite saying when he's over is "I call bullshit!"

hmmm.... don't we all tell lies at some stage?

Undoubtedly everyone lies or has lied. But not to the extent that this guy does. He cannot have a conversation without bullshitting. Sounds similar for Erika's friend.

i actually think its more a lack of (emotional) intelligence on their part than no conscience.

i mean clearly, when someone is telling you a barefaced lie i get the impression that they think you'll be as dumb as they are and believe it.

Mmm, good point.

Sounds more like he is retarded than anything else.

Yeah ... I think I told my first 3 boyfriends that I was a virgin :P

'white lies' and stretching the truth are different to a blatant flat out lie in my opinion.

everyone has told a white lie or stretched the truth at some point i'm sure.

what i hate is when your compulsive lying mate tells you something that you don't believe and then it ends up being the truth 

That was a lie?!?!?!?!!?!

OH MY GOD

 

Um, "Former" friend. Not friend. 


 

Having read up on this disorder myself, compulsive lying is *not* a part of BPD.

Nah not at all.

Bipolar just makes people irrational when it comes to make decisions and stuff.

Compulsively lying just means you have insecurities and feel the need to try to make yourself look like you fit in.

Bipolar is different to borderline 

Yikes it's the amateur psychology thread 


Anyone realise that BPD could be read as either Bipolar Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder? Gets a bit confusing.

I would have thought that a mood disorder could include telling lies, depending on the person..

 

To be honest, I read it as BDP or "Boogie Down Productions".

Borderline as a mood disorder, means that the person with it is unable to regulate their own emotions. It is a common misconception that people with borderline are manipulative liars. Anyways, it would depend on the person as borderline and compulsive lying don't go hand in hand.

fucking training course on the day after machinehead/slipknot concert so i cant bloody well take the day off. i managed to not tell ANYONE at work about going to the concert either, so it was going to be the perfect planned sickie.

fuckern!!

Yeah but they can also be delusional and/or suffer psychosis..so telling lies would go hand in hand with that...just not the type of lies we are familiar with - as they do not realise they are lying. But yeah manipulative liars are just that...people that lie to get what they want. You don't need a mood disorder to do that - just a few issues with honesty and integrity.

Oh yes, I agree with that.


I like to call this type of person a 'jerk'.

 

I'd love to have that disorder 

i reviewed my resource last night, and i was wrong. i'm gonna delete that post and i apologise for making such a reckless blanket statement 

ooh, speaking of liars, i'm gonna recommend you some kick-ass riot grrrl songs in your thread! 




yeah, you're right in saying so; it largely depends on the person's unique circumstance and personality.

Rant to my pay not going through. Fuckern.

Rant to being so boooooooored!!! 

listen to that music i recommended to ya then! 

Actually compulsive lying can be trauma associated and goes hand in hand with mental illness. People may lie because the have become dissociative with reality to cope with traumatic situations throughout childhood, therefore fantasy is replaced with reality as a coping mechanism. some people grow out of this, however if it's a learnt behaviour as a child it's hard for some people to grow out of and especially if it's paired with mental illness because the level of self awareness/ or mind clarity isnt high enough to know how to correct this behaviour, or that the behaviour needs correcting in the first place.

I loved Babes In Toyland when I was in high school. They put the grr in grrl! I'm so not in the mood for that right now, so sleepy but I can't have a nap. I think I will play Pharaoh instead.

oh, they sure did!

Rant to getting a speeding fine for a car i sold this time last year!

this is guna be so much f@#king around to get out off

Rant to pub owners! only ever work in commercial music for girls & money!

That is all

All you have to do is contact the Expiation Notice people and complete a stat dec with the info of the person you sold the car to.

Yeah but i wouldnt have a clue who it was...i dont even know if i kept the disposal notice....

It's been over a year since I worked there, so I can't remember the procedure exactly... as to whether you can obtain that information by calling somewhere else, so just call the Expiation Notice people and they'll be able to tell you what to do.

I got a letter from my super company tonight rejecting my application for membership because the date i signed on is 'incorrect' at 10/11/07.  Problem is I submitted the form on this date close to a year ago, so fuck knows why i got this letter now.  Funny thing is my membership was approved back then and my member number was at the top of the letter in bold.  The idiot who processed it should've been able to put 2 and 2 together.   

Stupid people really shit me... 

Rant to fucking my back up. Something has gone haywire and now I can barely move.

Looks like I need to visit somebody to look at it if I'm gonna be able to make the races tomorrow.

valium josh? you'll pull through 

Plans are underway for a cocktail of various meds & chemicals to get me through the day.

yeah actually.

pretty much after a couple of weeks of being made aware what it was, i trained myself to stop clenching my jaw so much whenever i was concentrating.

also had to learn to relax a bit more and not think so much all the time.

worked an absolute treat. only comes back on occassions if work is stressful.

Rant to the prices for Eric Clapton...

I know he's a legend and all, but surely he doesn't need $200-$400 per ticket!

Rant to my back getting worse.

Eaten a heap of muscle relaxants which are getting me off my face but ain't doing shit for my back.

You need an anasthetic :P

Maybe try Mersyndol or something with heaps of Codeine ?

Time to raid the folks medicine cabinet.

I'll go with the all of the above plan.

nurofen plus is always good

By the sounds of it, it is way past the nurofen plus stage

Vicodin!

The last 45 minutes.

I swear it feels like there is an extra 30 seconds in every minute

rant to getting a sore throat

Rant to waking up at 530am with a massive migraine and not being able to get on my plane to Adelaide as I was too sick
Will see y'all soon though, wish I was there xxx

Rant to not having enough money to go out tonight with my friends.

Sure, there's an awesome reason why I can't spend any money this week, but still

oh no thats horrible! migraines suck balls, i feel your pain for sure hayley.... hope you get back soon, i feel your homesickness big time!

Thanks! Feeling much better today...just upset and RANTY that I missed out on the day with my mates.

RANT RANT RANT!

Rant to this BASSHUNTER guy...

never heard his tunes before so i decided to sus out his myspace page....


what a cock smoker, his tunes not only suck wang but he is clearly gay.


why is he popular?? id rather listen to screamo and use a cheese grater on my balls than hear his songs.

 Yeah rant to him. Wanker.

 Whoever he is

 


look him up. i raged when i saw his page.

There's 5 pages of basshunter's btw, some of them look like utter knobs tho... 

This one wrote that song about DOTA. Couldn't miss that fag anywhere. Was a pretty funny video though. Some massive rave/LAN party happening at the same time.

Actually I think it was a remix of one of his songs about DOTA and Ventrilo. Either way it sucks cock and I can't listen to another second without going insane.

rant to people resigning/getting fired AGAIN, thats like the third this year with the fourth not far behind them if the rumours are correct.
rant to this meaning I am now going to have to waste my time dealing with non corporate idiots who buy fuck all and I won't get paid for.

FFS Just when we think we're starting to make some progress something like this happens... back to the drawing board...

Anyone know of someone hard working looking for a Sales Support type role in IT?

do i have to do anything?

Part or Full time?

Full time
And yes you would have to do something Weez!

Very very basic run down: -

Essentially answering email and phone enquiries from the queue as well as looking after my managed accounts internally, so supplying them with eta's, entering orders etc etc.

There is an expectation for you to "cold call" existing customers to advise them of specials and just generally check to see how everything is going for them at the moment.

Must present well both via phone and face to face, have a keen interest in IT hardware.

I'd probably enjoy that job but wouldn't be able to do Full Time stuff. I want something Full Time from December onwards until about Febuary, but that probably wouldn't suit this job hey. Will have to keep looking around. So hard to find a job these days.

Not that I would ever go for work in an IT field as I work in property (yes you can thank your lucky stars  ) but how much does a job like that pay? Just for interests sake?

does IT pay well?

Rant to changing my flights over the Christmas break but still stuffing the days up 

Well, as long as I get on the bloody plane this time 

I couldn't tell you what the pay rate would be for the upcoming position as it's not my area. This is a real entry level Sales position so I wouldn't imagine the money to be fantastic, looking on Seek similar roles pay around the $30-40k mark.

You can make decent money in IT if you put in the hard yards same as most industries. And again as with most industries, if you start in Sales you start on a pretty low salary and work your way up as you get more experience and make more Sales, unlike a developer or engineer who may have a string of qualifications under their hat who in turn has a larger base salary.

ha ha he is HUGE here in the UK, making a killing business in sellinmg ringtones, the like of which roni size can only hope to achieve

Rant to forgetting my mobile code and now the sim card is blocked.

Such a dumb shit.

You know the PUK code? Ring your holder and they should tell you.

what he said

as long as you havent entered it 10 wrong times, then you are screwed and it really is blocked with no way of unblocking it

 

Rant to wanting to fire up COD4, only to be told I have to do a system update first.

Rah.

random banter ??!! ban dem ranter  

managed to do that at parklife last year and didn't even remember it...

Looks like I may finally have an excuse to get a new phone by the look of things.

Worst part is I have finally remembered my code although after 3 wrong attempts that ain't helping me much now.

Dude...

Just ring your phone provider, vodafone, optus, telstra whoever and they will be able to give you your PUK code so you can unlock it....

Tried that already and no luck. The code they had didn't work.

its the sim which is screwed, not the phone. you can get a replacement sim quite easily and transfer your existing number onto it.

The phone is dying in the arse anyway - had it nearly 2 years.

This seems like the perfect excuse to upgrade imo.

Rant to being bored as fuck!!

But now you have a sweet sweet phone to play with!

Rant to hotmail sigining me up to that new Live stuff without my permission. Now the page won't even load because my net is too slow. Wankers.

ouch that sucks, i would die if that happens

time to look for a new job

khem have you ever been on AM from somewhere other than work?

Yet another blow.... In December I have been told I am moving teams and being managed by someone with no clue!  I feel like crying this week, I love my current line manager and the interweb.

Crap.

I told you, get me a job at your work. Now I'm serious!

rant to losing my audio lp grrr!!
