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.

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.

Where are you going to school? Surely nowhere in California.

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.

[freecat]

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 !

[broneck]

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

[superBobo]

tomorrow i will NOT spend all the fucking day infron of sufu and ebay.

oh i see, fucking bureaucracy....

[dismalfuture]

Superbobo, do you really like L.L.Bean and Filson that much? I would invite you to homestay with my relatives and you'd be in heaven, I think one of my aunts even has the L.L.Bean edition Subaru wagon, except you'd scare the children.

[superBobo]

^^ well, I dont really like bean that much as a whole, since the really "square" image is a bit hard to deal with, but they have some great stuff for good prices. Filson are just bad ass.

sounds great! I really go well with older ladies, they usually love me. kids, maybe not so much.

[landho]

Clopek, in the old country we would have beaten one of the servants' children until our anger had abated. I feel bad that you live in a country that so values human rights that you are now reduced to popping bubble paper in a pitiful and likely futile attempt to stave off your unquenchable rage.

[Fuuma]

FYI Montréal locals consider McGill student parties to be totally previous level, quite funny to see it has a rep as a “party schoolâ€. I guess our friend Toto’s eyes are more open than the people he studies with so he sees the incongruity in having kids who go to sleep at midnight after having drunk 6 beers and smoked a few puffs having a reputation as party animals.

[broneck]

"you must spread some reputation around before giving it to landho again"

i fucking lost my shit on the poor guy making minimum wage at dhl. everyone in the office was all quiet and shit and a bunch of people are amused/a little concerned.

i know i'm not gonna get my fucking money back either, they'll have some shitty loophole that says "if it comes through customs we don't owe you shit" even though they fucking knew my package was here for a month and i haven't been contacted by anyone by any method (phone/email/snail mail/nothing)

they told me i could go pick it up myself if i didn't want to pay a surcharge to have it picked up from customs despite the fact that i've just paid 60 fucking dollars to have it shipped. FUCKING OH MY GOD YOU FUCKING WHORE ANSWER YOUR FUCKING PHONE!!!

lol yea come visit here! I went to hs on the campus of CSU Dominguez Hills which is praaaaactically Compton.. and lots of my classmates were from "bad" areas I suppose, so I wouldn't give you any crap about it..

[Thorns]

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.

Eh... I think depending on the cases its different too. If I see a dude getting beat, I step in and I know I'm not the only one who does, I've seen friends of mine do it too. (I helped break up a fight on a transit bus last week.) If I see a dude getting held up at gunpoint though, I fuckin duck and cover. I've seen guys get shot because people tried to be heroes and that is not fucking worth it. Let the guy give over his posessions and everybody gets to keep their lives. Report it to the cops report it to insurance and everybody walks away.

[Caps Lock]

I wanna go to the barneys warehouse sale but I am broke and this does not feel good .

Haha no doubt, yeah that practically is Compton my mom's house is right down the street off of Avalon.

I actually used to kick it alllllll the time in Torrance back when i was in high school, around like 04-05. We need a 310 meet up one of these days.

[sybaritical]

I just broke my first sewing machine needle.

[andewhall]

Excellent mr. sybs..are you available for sweat shop labour? I like it when you bust a needle and the pointy end pings past your eye...its a 'phew that was lucky' moment.

[Tyro1]

yo clopek, I hope you fucking really got stuck into that DHL guy... I was having a good argument with a call centre yesterday, what really pisses me off is when they use that "I just work in the call centre, I'm not responsible" argument.....

FUCKING GIVE ME THE PHONE NUMBER OF THE MOTHER FUCKER THAT IS RESPONSIBLE YOU LAME UGLY FUCK TARD!

[dino might]

i schooled all the bimbos in my textiles class today with mah denimz speak and it made me feel pretty good

[Handlethevibe]

So, how do the majority of FIT people dress?

[dino might]

So, how do the majority of FIT people dress?

good enough, loads better than people back home, the fashion merchandising girls are by far the poorest dressers. a handful reaaaaaaaaaallly sharp looking people that make me green with envy, then all the hip kids

[bouwnt]

nice nice, tell us the part where you were asked to, and reluctantly agreed -- albeit begrudgingly, "please remove your sword from its scabbard and display your button-fly atari". yesjoystick

[2000dB]

Im fiending for some newports and some sleep mane.

[dismalfuture]

I think i'm taking a carton of 'ports to Korea with me, we got none over there and I got to keep it real.

[2000dB]

we dont get them here either. I dont even feel like smoking anything else right now, I just want that strong and intense flavor... that hood flavor.

[kunk75]

just paid off all my cc's, taxes, some of my student loans and now i am totally broke. like vagrant broke.

[broneck]

i never want to fight people. today, i want to beat the shit out of a human. mercilessly.

[skistar]

doesn't paid off CC's just mean available credit?!

but really, think of the money you're saving on interest and feel rich on the inside.
