Choo choo! All aboard the Complain Train!

I'm starting to forget what the sun looks like

So, shit's getting really swampy over here in the Netherlands due to all the rain we're getting. It would've probably been snow if we still had winters over here, but we don't anymore, now our winters are just autumn but sluttier.

Yeah, german here. I live in one of the regions threatened by high waters (but my neighborhood sits elevated, no direct impact)

But it is a bit eerie driving to work and passing a beautiful, wide lake... where rows of trees and energy masts just stand in the water and remembering: Ah yepp, those are fields next to the tiny river.

Eh, but my main complain at the moment: Man for days i have been "slightly" sick. Can't feel if it is ALL psychosomatic, or if i also have a slight cold, or if it is something slower, lighter. I just feels bad, and was laying in bed for about two hours weighing if i should get up and get to work.... eugh. So, went to work (Not on time)

Eh. P.S.:
I also lost 2.500 euro at some high-risk trades today. (Well i was having luck the last few weeks... but now all that won money is gone again - yay) I just want to be financially "free". Few months till my payments for my apartments have to be re-negotiated... grml. Stupid banks, stupid loans. I just want to get out of that shit, so i just have to worry about money to eat, heat, insure and cloth myself (And yeah. a bit extra if something breaks).

I just had a fourth interview with a company.

Remember when people used to get hired after one interview?

Whether it’s family, friends or a stranger, couldja kindly take your fucking shoes off before walking across my living room to wherever? I don’t care if it’s “just” to use the bathroom. My kid plays on this floor and I don’t know where those shoes have been.

I don't have kids playing on my floor and I agree. Shoes on after you enter the door, while you are on the tiles before the carpet.

Seriously. Do people not understand how much it costs to get carpet or a rug cleaned?!

I got an interview today for a company that I would really like to work for. When I saw the job posting a couple of weeks ago I rushed to apply, accidentally misspelled the company's name in my cover letter, and figured that would be the end of that opportunity. I was shocked that they actually wanted to talk to me after that.

I'm wondering if the recruiter even bothered to read my cover letter or if they just got my resume and immediately called me because of my experience. Also, cover letters are fucking pointless and I am completely unsurprised if recruiters never actually read them.

I was going to write something, but your next sentence sort of sums up what it was going to be.

Some people could be all like, “Oh my shoes aren’t dirty”, or “I didn’t leave anything on the carpet!” One day I want to do the blank paper test with them. Step that shoe down on this piece of paper and see what you’re leaving behind! That gets ground into the carpeting and then everyone’s socks pick it up and track it all over the house.

And yeah, carpet cleaning sucks. What’s even worse is getting the carpet cleaner clean afterwards.

Or the "force them to lick their own shoes at gunpoint" test. That's a fun party game!

My doggo will probably pass away soon

My doggo will probably pass away soon

Man, I'm sorry, my friend. That's really terrible to hear.

 

[hanselthecaretaker2]

You know when you sniff your nose and then almost immediately after feel a tickle in your throat that makes you cough? Yeah, that was probably a fucking nose hair!

 

[Chimpzy]

Welp, it's done. My doggo is gone. His name was Loki, and he was a scoundrel, and stinky, and the goodest boy. He loved walkies and his ball. He lived to 15.

Bye buddy

I'm so sorry, my friend. It's never easy losing a fur friend; I know this first hand. But 15 years is a long time, and he got to spend that time with you who it sounds like loved him very much; most of us couldn't ask for a better life. Everything I can think to say sounds cliché, so I'll just leave it at I'm sorry, but be thankful for the time you had; I'm sure Loki is.

Local grocer today, because it’s said we’re getting *gasp* 3-5” of snow today -

Spoiler

Most pathetic fucking race on the planet? The human race. God help us if something actually bad ever happens.

For added context, this is Michigan, where even in the lower peninsula snow is a regularly occurring thing this time of year, which somehow everyone forgets.

I'm in Michigan this is something you get used to. You're always going to have some idiot residence of whoever going to a mass panic whenever it starts snowing. Now to be fair upper Northern West of Michigan has a huge blizzard in coming. While other Northern parts has the winter storm warning. Those in the Southeast and Southwest of Michigan have the weather advisory. I'm in Westland right now and there is snow but it's not sticking to the ground. While in Detroit it's snowing and raining but nothing is sticking to the ground either. That said, I took the letter yesterday to stock up on some extra foods and made sure to have a whole tank of gas. Sometimes you don't leave anything to chance.

New update: now the snow is sticking to the ground.

 

[BrawlMan]

Anybody got snow right now? I do. Then some rain later. Time for some appropriate music.

2-3” so far in Grand Rapids. About as much as the other day but there was no panic of people lining up in stores. There will likely be more tomorrow. I grew up in the Upper Peninsula where we’d get half a foot and still go to school. It usually took freezing rain or around 10+” to get a snow day. Of course, it was much easier to deal with snow removal there too because it was a lot less populated.

Remember the pandemic and the toilet paper hoarding? For bonus points, because there was rumours of shortages in the US, we had hoarding in Australia.

(Though, I did like the odd person who'd stockpiled massive amounts, so they could resell it at inflated prices, complaining that the shortage wasn't as severe and no-one was buying)
