Again, legit reasoning, rather than middle of the afternoon in clear weather.

Protip: when your IT guy is trying to help you with a problem, maybe not being a snarky bitch is the first step to expediting your service process. My motivation to fix your fucking Outlook is going to go waaaaaaay down when I have to listen to you huff and sigh at the other end of the phone every two minutes. I'm not going to know exactly how to fix your exact problem right off the bat every time. I'm a computer technician, not a fucking wizard.

Borrowing this post to put it in here.

THE FACT VACCINATIONS ARE A DEBATE AT ALL MAKES ME ANGRY.

Oh right.

You have no idea how many times I've wanted to say this.

In this thread.

That falls pretty soundly into the whole "YOU cater to ME(/MY child)" mindset that can get really obnoxious really quickly.

Also lazy parents who take no blame for the shortcomings of their children due to poor parenting, yet will be first in line to reap the accolades when they do well. I know comedians have probably worded it better, but it's still grating on the nerves.

Everything I see from people who are against vaccinations almost always makes me cringe. And it makes my levels of "I upset" skyrocket.

"I had a case of measles when I was younger and I lived to be fine!"

"THIS IS FASCISM/SOCIALISM!!!"

"HITLER WOULD DO THIS"

"Big pharma JUST WANTS MONEY"

Hey, maybe if the parents had learned math properly...

Sometimes, I absolutely hate my life. Sometimes, I wish my life didn't exist. Enough said.

Nooooo T_T

Back to CARS!

I hate it when people ride up on others rear ends who are doing the speed limit. Sometimes even more than that. It's like your asking to get in a car wreck and have a possibility of dying.

It sometimes makes me want to get a huge truck as my transportation vehicle that way when when another car hits me, Ill completely squash/crush that car and it will serve them right for being idiot's and driving recklessly.

Rather be protected and alive and the other person dead rather than being the dead one.

I've had days where I get depressed really easily and really dig at my own self-worth. Doubly so if I get introspective about what I do for a living (get up, go to work, come home, hang out alone on the computer all evening, go to bed, repeat). I get immobile, mopey, and otherwise quite sad-sack.

However, I believe in something I've taken to calling "karmonics" - a portmanteau of "karma" and "harmonics." It's basically this - everyone has a karmic "neutral" baseline. You will have your good days and you will have your bad days, but it all balances out in the end. While that does make it sound like a good thing will be counteracted by a bad thing, that also means the opposite is true as well.

So, um, all I can offer is that I hope your karmonic upswing is a really nice one and you regain your cheer and smiles. It's always nice to see how happy you are around the forums.

... Sorry if this is a derail from the whole theme of the thread, but... I kinda felt it necessary.

Though, I must admit, I usually hate myself when I get all depressed like that (both during and afterward) so... I guess that counts?

Another IT PSA:

Something being foreign to you doesn't make it "not user-friendly." It just means you're not used to it yet.

That said, we've had Adobe Acrobat XI and Microsoft Office 2013 as our standard for about half a year now. At this point you're shifting from "unfamiliar with the programs" to "just a plain old fucking moron."

Computers have been a staple of our lives for almost 20 years now. If you don't know the difference between the 'address' bar and the 'search' bar, GTFO of the internet.

So tired of spoon feeding people over the phone how to browse to a simple web page.
