£5.49 for one pair of children's socks?
You're having a giraffe. Okay they are cool socks (Gruffalo themed "odd" socks) and the price includes postage. But they cost more than most of my pairs of shoes these days! (Christmas shopping early, wanted something cheap but useful/ recognisible but educational). No cat sez no. In fact he sez Hell, No! What you making them outta? Yak's nipples?

Guh. Daughter woke up at 3:00 AM, didn't go back to sleep until 4:00. This after I foolishly went to bed at 11:30 and had to get up at 5:30.
But all is not lost, as this is my day with no classes or other specific obligations, and now that the kids are off, I could just go right back to bed now if I so chose! Except I'm wide awake. |

By the way, most furnaces these days have electronic ignition - no pilot to light. They're also more efficient, so you might want to consider replacing your furnace.

The bloody amount of time it is taking me to apply for an 18 hour a week part time job.
JEBUS! Not because of the questions they are asking - in fact I'm amazed at how little they've asked compared to usual paper application forms - but how slow the bloody system is. And the information that is repeated in different sections. I've already given my age range (at the start) Now just waited over 4 minutes for another screen to load to check I am over 18! WTF? Been 45 minutes at this now. I should charge. Like I do for my milkshake training. ETA - piece of fucking shit fucking bastard cunt fuckers. Finally finished about 10 minutes ago (went to vent to the 'rents) Stupid slow arsehole twatting time wasting system. I filled it in as if I wanted the job (sadly I do, I need the money) but in truth I'd be terrifed of not being paid if their recruitment system is in any way like their payroll. Although I am lying as my SIL works for them full time, and one of "our" student teachers works part time. Obviously I'm not naming them here. But I might if I don't get the job.

Oh yeah - didn't get that job.
Although I applied for another one with them and haven't been rejected yet, hence not naming and shaming. What's PI, Filthy?

wow - Filthy - that DOES suck (but you don't need me to tell you that) - god. cops. Can't live with 'em can't...well, you know.
 I'm mildly irritated that I live in a city that does NOT allow you to cancel trash collection. You MUST have it. I can't take my own garbage to the dump. Not allowed. Seems unAmerican somehow...maybe I should go down to the recruiting office and sing Alice's Restaurant in protest.

If you don't put it by the curb do they come into your house to get it?
