Re: Gripe thread
#1 Fucking cunts breaking into my house and taking mine and my housemate's laptops. So amazingly pissed off it's not funny and now have to scrape money from somewhere to buy a new one. Can't even be sure when it was. At least that's all that was taken - two G11s, loads of computer stuff and consoles were left. Hope it wasn't a scoping exercise. Pretty gross some weirdo has been in my home - and it's not exactly obvious that we have much lying around and/or easy to get in either.
#2 Moved out on the weekend.
Today fucking sucks, but at least there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Re: Gripe thread
my [old] place in brunswick (will be back there in jan). shitty way to end an awesome 18 months tbh.
it's just fucked that i now have to use the money i'd otherwise be living off to buy a goddamn laptop. not even sure if i have enough to live basically as it is, let alone with a set back like this.
cunts of the highest degree.

Re: Gripe thread
Babe!
It would be covered by your house and contents insurance honey! We got ours replaced no worries - well we got a chq for the money and i then used an industry contact to get a better one x 2 for the money of our stolen one....
Could you not get a new one, then when the insurance chq comes can it not be put into your bank account for you??????

Re: Gripe thread
Tash don't buy a laptop just borrow my macbook for the trip. Seriously no point in forking over for something now when cash is too tight. Worry about getting a new one when you get back imo.

Re: Gripe thread
Without a doubt, Best $55 i spend each month.
Something I was told about the other day, most contents policies have cover for power blackouts and the food that subsequently spoils. Its only a small amount, so you keep it under the cap the policy allows, and then next time the power goes out, submit a claim for lost food. A few hundred bux back for the year and they dont ask for receipts cos sif you keep receipts for food shopping.
GOTD: Had too much coffee, fucking almost gurning over here

Its funny in the beginning ey Hugh, but then when your teeth start chattering and your eyes are moving around like your having a fit, well then it aint so funny! Contemplating having another one so at least i dont have a downer to deal with as well, Wish i was at home, playing records is REALLY appealing right now.

charlie - worst part is, my dad is recovering from cancer, and we have just gotten to the point where we can talk like adults.
but when i go there, its all her dramas, and he and i dont even get to talk about anything but her crap.
she grew up there, she is sheltered, arrogant, self centred and totally has no idea about sufferring of any kind. I am trying to love her, but goddamn im over it.

Urgh, conference death . Public holiday today, but not for retzie. Thanks christ it will be over soon. And just in case it weren't going to be special enough, good ol' Oklahoma is rolling out the red carpet for it: 37°C, 38°C, 38°C
OMG, speaking of good ol' Oklahoma, I've recently been hearing about its abortion laws (not for me!) Surprisingly, it is legal, but (1) the doctor doing it has to force you to listen to the foetal heartbeat, watch an ultrasound and hear a description of what it is doing/what stage it is at before the deed; and (2) doctors are legally allowed to tell ANY lie they choose to try to make you not go through with it. And this is AFTER having to walk through the crowd of violent psycho-Christians. How fucken wrongtown do these people want to be??

Re: sister gripes. Ive been through it all. Still hve the same feelings about my sister from time to time. But you cant choose your families. Acceptance is really all you can do. Realising that your siblings are very different people to you helps. When it comes to the crunch the hopeless naive fool in me likes to believe that they will come through for you.

thats like saying you have lost faith in apples because a few became rotten and killed some people, and then blew up your house and stole your puppy and then ate it.
the thing about people is many are stupid. many are ignorant. many are ugly. many are smelly, and hopeless and dim and have poor penmanship, and are bad drivers, and miss spots whilst shaving and can't cook scones. However most are generally good people.
yes evil people exist. but they are the minority. except in adelaide.
everyone is evil in adelaide.

GOTD: Arsewipe of a colleague who just got back from a lazy THREE WEEK FUCKEN HOLIDAY, just in time to not have to do anything for the fucken conference. He even had the gall to fuck off home at lunch too, coz apparently he has other things to be doing. Don't worry, that's fine - I'll just not get lunch until 5-fucking-pm, you cunt. Heh, I guess there's not a lot for him to do anyway, what with having been totally absent when everything that is happening now was planned by me
If you are going to be that much of a swindling FA1L, I don't really know why you'd bother. Cunt.

hey gripers - i was speaking to my friend today who lives in Arizona, he got done for DUI and is spending six months in the tent city jail for that one offence!
i just cant believe it, another guy i met there got put away for 8 months for a pipe and gram of weed. 8 MONTHS!
and yes, sluggie is mexican and the other guy is black. fucked.
We just have it so good here, we can almost talk our way out of anything. I just thought I'd share, and today my gripe goes to Sluggie, one of the most talented artists I know, drawing currently on packing boxes in the heat of the desert. Fucked.
