Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

I want to kill whomever set up the coding on my main data source at work. They did an incredibly horrible job of it, and they're part of the only department that has access (even read only access) to the actual DB. None of the rest of us can get close enough to the DB to run SQL queries against it, and it's making my life miserable.

SELECT anger FROM employees WHERE job='yours';

I still can't help but feel that maybe, just maybe, we'd have an easier time getting access to the data we needed had management not decided to defund the fucking department responsible for maintaining these data sources.
 
Your work has a fucking department? That sounds awesome!
We have a lot of fucking departments... the only issue is that they're all geared toward fucking other people over. Key word being over. Fucking over the consumers, fucking over the devs, fucking over the PMs, fucking over the rest of the software industry... the list goes on.
 
You need to learn the beauty of SQL injection attacks opportunities. You can run SQL - it's just that they've made it more challenging.
Yeah... but I'm fairly certain that that would be against the terms of my contract. And, while this report is bad enough to make me seriously question my mental health as I fantasize about quitting my job, selling all of my possessions, moving to a secluded mountain cabin, and then just rocking back and forth and muttering to myself for the rest of my life, I really don't want to lose my job just yet.
 
:facepalm:
Apparently, my wife's former employer never bothered to double-check that she was having the "correct" amount of federal tax withholding taken out of her paycheck every two weeks.

Guess who's going to be paying a chunk of change to the Feds this year on his tax return?:Leyla:

I've been there. It sucks, royally.
 
Ah, but you knoweth not the cherry on top:

The amount that I am paying to yon IRS is just slightly less than my average bi-weekly take-home last year. IOW, two week's pay just went down the drain.
 
When I get the chance, I go on "Thewebcomiclist" to look up new webcomics. Sometimes I will click one of the "new" ones possibly a familiar name. And...its one that hasn't updated in years. WHO IS RUNNING THIS SITE?! I am sending a strongly worded I sure am!

Y'know... I kinda hate this saying, but dude, I'm pretty sure you accidentally a word there.
 
Flying to Vancouver to go visit the wife this afternoon and I'm feeling rather blah. I should be excited, but I feel like I've been running a marathon and I'm just exhausted.
No, no...this should be your comment after the visit.

The hamster is going blind. I don't think he can see out of his left eye at all. Fortunately he's not an animal that relies on his sight very much. We just gotta make sure this cage outlasts him since I don't want to change his environment to something unfamiliar.

Can't believe he's still alive. I've never had a hamster last 3 and a half years before.
 
Hey phil, get drunk and smoke a chocolate Philly blunt. It'll.be a good idea.

Sure thing phil.

<scene missing>

God damn everything. Why do I even have these again?
 
I don't remember the end of last night.

I hit on a redhead at one point. I think I suck at flirting? But also I was probably more drunk than I thought. Jesus.

Chocolate Phillies are my factory reject cigar of choice, when I for get to go to the humidor before they close.
 
I have no idea where I'm going to live next year. My current apartment isn't doable and there's basically one place in town that has a location and price that's ok. I'm on the list but if they say no then I might be homeless.
 
I just spend 100€ for a good pair of leather boots. I know that I need them and with good care they will last a couple of years,but I am such a cheapscape that I still regret buying them. On the other hand,feet are so warm.
 
That's horrible advice! When I worked at a gym we had a smelly guy with a membership who kept trying to sleep in our lobby and sauna. We ended up cancelling his membership and kicking him out.
 
No, he most definitely was not. I'm guessing most places would frown on you sleeping there at night though, no matter how good you smell.
 
Yeah, but (at least for the ones here) there's not always a night manager on... the one near my precinct has a keycard entry, but no employees there after a certain time... not a bad time to try and snag a nap
 
You could also grab a few squirts from the sinks soap dispenser if they don't provide soap in the showers.[DOUBLEPOST=1360098501][/DOUBLEPOST]

I'm guessing they'd probably get reported by other members before too long. Unless you can find yourself a good hiding spot.

Congratulations on driving the final nail in the coffin of a homeless man.
 
I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hope I get this job at Johnny Rockets. It was the only one so far where I actually had a real interview so I feel confident.
 
Really missing an old friend of mine tonight... it's been years since I've had any contact from her, but when we were in high school, she was essentially my best friend. She was the one who'd keep convincing me to try new stuff, broaden my mind and such. I crushed on her hard back then, because I was shy and awkward and couldn't differentiate between a deep friendship and a crush.

Since then, she got diagnosed with a variety of stuff, nothing life-threatening - I know she's still active on the 'net at least, but I can't really get in contact with her, and any previous attempts from a couple years back were welcomed, then just sort of faded into the aether.

I don't begrudge her her privacy... just missing her bigtime tonight, for some reason.
 
On Saturday, I came down with a really bad case of dizziness or vertigo, along with feeling nauseous. I went to the emergency room, but it just took too fucking long (3+ hours), so I went home. They did give me some valium, though.

Tonight, I threw up a lot of my supper and went to the nearby clinic. She said it was probably viral, gave me something for the nausea and said it should clear up in a few days.

Still, uuuuuuugh.
