GRIPE:

I sent quote requests out to 3 printers (standard practice) for 3 seperate print jobs and each one had 3 variations on the use of stock.

so that makes 27 quotes so far for only 3 jobs.....

we showed the client and the quotes were alot higher than the ones they got, so the boss decides to send out the quote requests to another 8 farkin printers

so, if each printer supplies 3 quotes for each of the 3 jobs (9 each) then I'll have more than 99 quotes for THREE FUCKIN JOBS

this is just bloody ridiculous

AND HE STILL HASN'T INSTALLED FARKIN AIR-CONDITIONING

FUCK.

btw - I don't expect anyone to understand any of that, just needed to get it off my chest

sneak · Post by **sneak** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 3:59 pm

wikid. i just got fired again. meh. got a good solid 4 months outta this job though. it might just be a new personal record. time to raid the kitchen and stationery cupboard.
being given the arse in itself is not my gripe - im not really fussed wether this particular company employs my arse or not, gripe is having to go jobhunting again. lame

Trailer_trash & Ani - I sympathise - my surrogate dad/flatmate has gems like Gerry and the Pacemakers in his extensive crap music collection... and yes he listens to it all the time

B0mBjAcK · Post by **B0mBjAcK** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 7:44 pm

LOL @ dads and old folk in general that like shit music. My old man loves his blues but the other week when he gave me a lift home from work he had RRR on and was listening to techno/breaks/house etc... for a good half hour big up my dad... probably wrong thread but this post would probably look stupid in the big up thread

Ag3nT[]0raNg3 · Post by **Ag3nT[]0raNg3** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 8:06 pm

my old man likes incredibly shit music. think irish tenors and crazy wacked out shit like that. welsh choirs.. !! WTF?

hahaha...@ the gripe, I would have to second it... i think what intensifies it is the fact that its played at "dad volume" (VERY VERY LOUD, due to some industrial deafness).

Gripe 1: Stupid housemate... needs to get a clue. Spoilt little brat. (I'll stop here with this one, so many nasty things I want to say

)

Gripe 2: Fickle boss. Is all sweetness and love when I call to wake her at 3am for market. All chatty. Then when she comes in at 7am all she has to say is "I don't ever want to see the Gerbs looking that ever again"... yes your majesty. I'll wave my f*&^ken magic wand and turn them into roses... is that better?? Damn. Good morning to you too. Not even a hello.

I'm done.

some guy wrote:The CIA's LSD experiments were conducted on many unwitting subjects, most often prisoners or patrons of brothels set up and run by the Agency, which had installed two-way mirrors in the establishments to allow for observation of the drug's effects (these studies were referred to as "Operation Midnight Climax"). Some of the MKULTRA subjects who were informed faced even more inhumane treatment: during one experiment in Kentucky, seven volunteers were given LSD for 77 days straight.
