 I used to apply for every job I thought I could get an interview for. Even if I was sure I didn't even want the job, I figured I could use the experience interviewing. 

 

Hate and scheme on the inside, but smile, smile, smile outside. I'm sure you're not a sociopath like me, but still! Practice makes perfect, 

oh, i do that too

 

sociopath? couldn't say for sure, but i am a miserable, unhappy misanthrope

I'm sorry, Craig.  :( 

 

So my kid just came wandering in and asked what an orgasm was. He's nine. Turns out he was watching "Stories from the ER", which is nothing new, and when it went off "Sex Sent Me to the ER" came on.

Well at least it wasn't porn, haha. Or a movie like Showgirls with Jessie from Saved by the Bell. When I was 11 my older sister put in the VHS while I was in the room playing with transformers or something and then all of a sudden, boobs everywhere.

Sorry about the job Craig. 

 

And yikes, I have no idea what I'd say if my kid asked me that question! I started watching that show last night, but it looked so bad, then I realized with pure, undiluted joy my hockey team was playing (big shocker in Canada lol). Then they lost naturally.  :rolleyes: That wasn't a big shocker lol

I'm pretty straightforward with my little guys, within reason. After I choked on my drink for a second or two, I just told him it had to do with sex and he was too young to know about it yet. He just shrugged, said okay and walked off, haha.

 

Brit, I hope everything turns out okay.  :luvzombismile:

Being a natural introvert myself,  and misanthrope does make job hunting a chore, Craig. I totally sympathize. 

 

I can see the day, rapidly nearing over the horizon, when I have to update my resume and get back out there.  The dread of it makes me put up with a whole lot more at my current job, where I'm over qualified and work for idiots who take all the credit for my work. But at least I don't have to supervise the bi-polar coworker, or counsel the one who is pregnant by the Jordanian national who she married to keep from being deported, but is still being investigated by immigration...  Yeah I just love people.   

 

But that is not even the reason I came on to the rant thread!  I just want to scream I TOLD YOU SO over and over to DH , but I've decided that I still want to stay married, so I'm not going to do it.  Next time he asks for my advice and doesn't take it, then mucks it all up and expects me to be sympathetic I may not come to the same conclusion.  Thank you for letting me vent Rant Thread.

Hope everything is alright, Brit! We're all here for you though no matter the outcome. 

 

Limaro - relationships and marriage are the hardest things in this world to deal with sometimes. Stay strong!

 

Here's my rant: Next time I buy curtain rods, I'm not buying the cheapo ones from Wal-Mart where the screw you're drying to drill strips itself in 1 second. Then gets stuck in the molding. Ugh. Good thing I had real screws. Haha

Sorry Limaro. That's so frustrating!

 

Same as hanging curtains BBL. I've dealt with the same exact thing.

Craig:  The job didn't deserve you.

 

Limaro:  Just give your man the straight, unrestricted kick in the ass he needs.  If he doesn't listen, repeat and make the next kick toward the curb.

 

BBL:  I am glad you had regular screws.  Proud, even.

 

Kid:  You handled that well.

 

BWR: I won't get into all that.

 

My rant for the day is mother fuckers who never follow through.  My life is FULL of them.  I do what I say I am going to do, without fail.  It's the way I was raised.  Meh.

Monday my internet company disconnected me because of my bill. I couln't figure out why it was over 200 dollars. So i look it up and see where i moves from an old apt and they never shut it off, so theybwere just charging me. After i figure it all out and then i get it fixed they want money for a reconnection fee....are you serious? It shouldn't have been shut off in the first place.

I had a free car wash so went to get one yesterday, it was one of the kind where it takes your car through with all the brushes and stuff. I'm sitting there tapping on my cell phone (the only time I pull my cell out while in the car, trust me), and I heard this loud clunk. Turns out one of the brushes ripped the driver side mirror nearly clean off. 

 

After dealing with the guy at the gas station so they hopefully reimburse me, I then sat in the waiting area at VW for over an hour, got the estimate than walked home. $500 later the mirror is fixed, but what a miserable afternoon. I love my VW, but damn it's so expensive to get work done on.

Netflix streaming is worthless for movies.  

Great for binge watching a TV series. But if you just happen to have a couple of extra hours in your Sunday routine between now and February,  and just don't want to run out to the Redbox or pay Amazon, there is nothing current or worthwhile or popular in their library movie -wise.

Yeah, Netflix lacks popular or recent films. However, they have a lot of really underrated independent and foreign films. Sometimes you just have to press play on something you wouldn't normally watch. Their recommended lists are atrocious as well.

I would agree that Netflix streaming is best for the binge watching of TV series. Though some TV series they only have a couple seasons of, and they've been like that for a while now, which is annoying so I have to find other ways to watch my favorite shows, haha. The movie selection isn't the best either, but they do have TMNT, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure which I have queued up to watch. Tons of Trailer Park Boys too and some pretty good comedy specials.

If you watch Netflix on your desktop computer or laptop, I would highly recommend downloading https://hola.org/  for your browser. It allows you to change country so you can use Netflix US/Canada/UK/Ireland etc.. the movie and TV section is different and huge, so it helps with finding more content. 

 

Two shows from the UK that I would recommend watching would be Utopia and Black Mirror.
