“I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.”
The notes are old, they bend, they fold.
And so do I, to new lows.


Another day at work. When you wake up, and the first thought in your mind is; "Whee, another day of slapping on a smile and slogging through this s**t one more time." Guess that's a sign. Something needs to happen. Maybe I need a new job. Something dastardly and high-paying, with gratuitous amounts of fame. Something with filthy assistants. I wish. Most likely another hellish tech-support job. Hopefully one with looser guidelines on abusing the customers. There's nothing I like more than telling a customer he is ********, and I can't do a damn thing. And neither can my manager.

I smile, and gleefully tap out thir stupidity into the case, while they grow angry in my ear. 99% of the time, it's because they did something ******** stupid. Like.. Decide to reinstall format their system. At home. Without checking their backups first. I giggle happily and tell them that they just ******** themselves out of 4 years of mail. I include the words "dumb ********" in their case notes. They scream and spit all over their telephone. I tell them that we can restore two weeks of mail if they're on a POP server, but I know damn well they are on an exchange server, and we don't do restores for that. Act just helpful enough, and they sit there and piss and moan and blame everyone but themselves. "Well... umm.. my backup wasn't working. It stopped working.. like.. umm.. 6 months ago." Then you should have called us 6 months ago, you living afterbirth. Now, you're ********.

"I can't connect to the internet.. from home. on a weekend. and I have a really important case due on monday!" Then why did you wait until sunday to work on it, ********? No weekend support, especially for unsupportd home setups. "but, it's a billion-dollar account! I demand priority one support!" Firtsly, priority one is for servers, and groups of people over 10 warm bodies. Secondly, I don't care what account it is. don't care if the president himself needs those reports. it's your home, your equipment, you set it up.. I have no obligation or requirement to fix it. "Cisco doesn't work that way, you're just a contractor!" Yeah, I am a contractor.. and guess who sets the rules of my job? Cico, b***h. Wanna talk to my manager? She'll tell you the same thing. You're ********.

On a similar note..

God, I hate people. You're all ******** killing me, one day at a time. Slowly draining the life from my body and mind. Dirty ********. You don't listen, you never learn, and you always do the most asinine, stupid, ******** things possible. Then you bludgeon each other to death with your goddamn opinions because you can't be bothered to ******** think for yourselves. You can't be bothered to listen to fact and reason and truth. You just cram your assumptions and heresay and opinions and bullshit into other peoples lives, like it's a ******** cure. Because you wouldn't have it any other way. I mean, rationally.. if you didn't like this, wouldn't you have ******** done something about it by now? But, no. People really do seem to enjoy getting ******** by each other in every way possible, whether they asked for it or not. Because you have to be right. You have to be agreed with. People have to love you. You have to be doing this for approval.

******** approval. ******** beeing agreed with. People agree with trite, pedantic, soothing lies. They agree with spare change, crap TV, and a b*****b on friday nights. They don't agree with making your own goddamn decisions, not buying into the bullshit that television spews like so much vomit in an alley. They don't agree with hard lives that are fought for and earned with blood and bruises and scars. They don't agree with experience born and bred in the worst situations. It frightens them, and they cower and hide like scared puppies. They scurry and run, and duck behind lies and bullshit and pathetic excuses for their actions.

And it's ******** killing me.

Because moony reminded me..

Gayboi photos!

yes, at long last, you can see the sexyness that is Gayboi twist.

Mmm... beer.

    Yay, morning rants from Twistex heart
    Why don't you get a new job? You could uh... do IT stuff at a college, colleges need IT people, good IT people.... As you already know you will never find a help/tech job that you like, unless maybe if it was a personal assistant like job for a rich attractive single woman. wink

    At least you arn't sitting in class drawing up storyboards, storyboards with perspective! Action! Anger! how about I answer the phones and you draw the storyboards, and do the needed 3d modeling, and the animating... twisted

    Have fun at work! Think happy thoughts.

    Oh hell no. Trust me. No. Just.. no. I loved my job. When I was sitting at my desk abusing the internet, or when I was making fun of doddering old professors with my boss. Not the rest of the time. So.. just.. no. Like when people spat all over me from yelling so hard that -I'D- ruined their CDs. Which they had stuck in a 5 1/4" drive. That had a big peice of masking tape over it. Which said THIS IS NOT A CD DRIVE. And they had to cut the tape to put the CD in. But.. yanno.. it was my fault.

    And, uh, I'm all paranoid about the second half of this entry now, but I'm not entirely sure why. Probably just because I'm paranoid a lot. But.. um.. yeah. I'll be over there now. *points vaguely over there* sweatdrop

    In my eyes, a job is a job. Go with what you want, regardless of how good you are at it. If you want to be one of those people that say,"You're screwed in more ways than the Personals knew," then get it.

    Bah, I'm glad I'm too young to worry about thins like jobs. sweatdrop

    But Moony!
    wait... yeah... okay, so maybe we talk a lot of s**t about our IT people... but it's their fault! The computers erase flash drives, restart if you plug in some porables and arn't even referenced right! We need good IT people, there has got to be some in San Francisco, all I ask is for one tech guy or gal who can make our labs run right, and maybe plug in the firewire cards nicely so I can plug my ipod into the front of the computer stare

    Twisty, you're how old, now?
    And you're just figuring out that the general populace is stupid?

    Well, maybe people aren't entirely stupid. It's just that they're lazy. Too lazy to form educated opinions, too lazy to learn, too lazy to wait for someone else who knows more than them to fix something they did.

    If you're just learning this now, then there is seriously a problem with you.

    I understand you're skirting on the edge of a cliff here as far as your personalboundaries, emotions, and holding back your anger are concerned, but you need to accept that people are impatient, stupid, incessent bastardly sex objects.
    While your venting in a journal helps, you should probably work on exercising. Get those endorphins running, so you don't care so much about other people's screwups.

    A good friend once told me, if you turn life into a game, it is much easier, and more enjoyable to work with.
    Play a game with your job. Answer the next call, and try and figure out a way to tell them the person is screwed using the best terminology, or the nicest way possible, or perhaps the most convoluted way.

    If you make a concious effort to have fun, you usually do end up having it.

    ..

    In afterthought, you are so my body type. I need to take a picture of me showing how skinny I am.
    Do you eat an insane amount of food? I'm trying to see if stick people eat more than normal people think they can handle. I know I eat a ton, and I never gain any weight or fat. xd

    I'm 20, and I've known this for years. I'm just now getting to the level where I cannot contain it.

    I do work out and excercise. I swim pretty regularly, I walk, run, play on playground equipment, wrestle moderators, poke people. I'm in fine shape. I'm just very angry. I care about other people's screwups because of two reasons.

    #1: I car about other people, no matter hw much I try not to.

    #2: Other people's screwups end up affecting me.

    To conciously have fun, I usually have to play a game, or get ******** up on something. My goal is not to avoid the world, but sometimes, I have to.

    Yay, Twistex cares about people!
    Tis a fine trait to have ^ ^
    The more good things people can say about you the better, especially when they are things that are part of your personality and not something you do only in front of others.
    hmr... I should really stick to one account when I post and not accidentally comment here on my mule...

    Congratulations, you are Internet Sexy!

    Or would that be 1n73rn37 53xxxx4y?

    Either way, you know it's not booze talking now. Speaking of which, I assume Drunk Wednesday is on, and bloody hell do we both need it (I speak for myself mostly, but I infer from journaling you're irritated as well). If anything I have at work or could find at a handy grocery store is needed or wanted, let me know and I shall produce...whatever it is. ninja

    Twisty, has anyone told you you look like Duke Nukem in that photo with those sunglasses and that posture? No? Ok then... *crawls back into the corner from whence he came*

    jesus my friend, i know exactly how you feel. i had pretty much the same ******** up situation. i pretty much have no tolerance for that s**t though so i quit after a little over a year. what can i say? i needed the money bad enough to continue for that long. it did feel really nice though to tell off six different customers on my last day and know that they couldn't do a damn thing about it. hang in there
