I cant believe I'm giving this person I second chance. I hope I'm not setting myself for failure again. Also, I hate college faculty; they are the most asnine and incompetent group of people. I'm trying to bridge a gap and help them understand my situation but they just dont get it. All I want is a grade change.

i have learned at a young age not to expect anything from others. even simple kindness. trust no one and don't put your hopes onto anyone. make your own path. doesn't mean to isolate others..but just know that in the end

everyone looks out for themselves. no exceptions..its just a matter of how long and to what degree can they maintain a sense of integrity and their morals

whatever that may be

totally random thought too.

:o

i guess i'm the same way... it sucks having to second guess people all the time so i don't really expect anything more than what people are. i'm too lazy for expectations, so if someone tells me something i'll believe them. if it ends up not being true then it's not true, i don't care. yaknowwwwww.

........america.

Last year I saw some guy basically bleeding to death in a subway station, and everyone here pretended like they didn't see it. When I stopped and was staring and went to help him, some people came up to me and said they were so ashamed for Japan that I had to see this and that it was such a disgrace.

I looked at them like they were crazy and said,

"This guy is dying right in front of your eyes."

They all looked at him and then me,

"Yes, I am so sorry."

People are fucked. Especially here.

Looking back on it now though I think it was probably Yakuza related...

poor security guard. On a more subtle but similar note, it's like how people get used to seeing homeless people and learn to ignore them. It's just easier to ignore something than do something. Not saying I'm innocent of it, but still.

Anywhoo, superconfessionalz: I've been holding out all day on posting since it's my 1000thzz, and it seems all special and shit. But whatevz. I r 2 lazy now. Then again, I suppose it's all moot since no one will ever top Ordos 1000th. Time to post again.

Sort of learned about this in a high school sociology class. Known as the Bystander Effect, people are less likely to act when there are other people around because everyone thinks someone else will take responsibility and do something.

I remember reading a case study about a woman getting sexually assaulted near an apartment building, and absolutely shrieking for help. When the police were canvassing the area afterwards, they found that almost all the residents were able to hear the woman, but no one dialed 911 until several minutes after it had happened. It's all quite depressing really.

Kitty Genovese. Basically THE case that everyone uses for such examples.

Without hostility, what do you expect people to do? The person had the means to rob one person, what's to say he wouldn't just fucking stab you if you yelled or tried to interfere? I wouldn't expect help from someone.

Really people are terrible but dwelling on it can't bring any good unless it inspires you to better things.

VsToto:

At your school, people are posted up outside of lecture halls between/after classes smoking weed like it ain't no thang.

It's kind of like the greatest thing ever.

80% of the new people I meet on campus or at other university's get all awkward/nervous when I tell them I grew up in Compton. It's lame as fuck.

fuck i can't wait to quit. this is the most goddamned frustrating day of my life.

i woke up late, looked at my clock, hour late for work.

so i figured "whats a few more minutes", and check my email. colette emailed me back about my backpack. apparently its been in toronto since August fucking 4th. so i call that shithole company DHL to talk to someone and get my goddam purchase. They tell me to call canada customs.

Canada customs tells me that they don't hold packages, and never have, so it must be at the shipping company. I call the shipping company back, they tell me they have it in their warehouse after all and that they'll call me when they've looked into it.

Meanwhile, my fucking stupid portguese cleaning lady shows up and my dog HATES her, so he starts barking his ass off while I'm on the phone, so i have to go drag my dog by the scruff of his stupid neck up stairs (in my underwear, in front of a woman i hardly know) and shut him in my room while i talk to this woman from DHL.

so i get to work an hour late, and my supervisor comes and tells me that i have to hand in a letter of resignation. i suggest that maybe instead, i could stay on as a "casual" employee, meaning i wont have to re-apply for the job i'm getting a month later, but could just transfer into the position. nono, that's impossible, because of some beuracratic bullshit. i argue with her for a while, then give up and decide to go for lunch.

my friend stops me and asks if he wants to go look for a hat for his girlfriend to kill time, as she has to star in some italian glamour show dressed like Sofia Loren

so we found the perfect hat at Le chateau, this shitty mall store in downtown hamilton, and my friend says for 10 bucks it's perfect, but wants to make sure it's what she's after. I suggest taking a picture and sending it to her on his phone.

The salesperson/manager comes up and says "sorry, no pictures. you can't take pictures in the store." um....why not? "its against company policy. you can't photograph our products." can we buy it and return it? "final sale." so...you don't want to make a sale? "if that's what you'd like to think."

bitch why the fuck would i want to photograph your shitty 10 dollar hat? am i gonna go home and make these fucking shitty hats in my basement? is the design so creative that i couldn't have come up with this on my own? am i going to rip off your rip offs? fuck this shitty store.

i get back to my desk and DHL calls to inform me that they're looking into it but haven't resolved my issue.

my blood pressure is high.

Cal Poly Pomona, I was surprised. I figured it'd be chill since LA is just 30 minutes away

The worse I ever get it though is when I go visit UC Irvine.

clopek, did your supervisor ask for a letter of resignation because you were late ? (so lame if it is)

yeah, kinda sucky day, i hope it'll get better, you should party tonight to forget about it !

Posted

no, because i'm going back to school next week. there's ways around quitting and getting rehired but everyone here is incompetent.
