Felt like venting... I have a business law test on contract law/torts/product liability tomorrow and I have no motivation to study for this. I keep staring at my notes and nothing is processing. Soooo frustrating!

What about everyone else?

I work customer service (via telephone). For some reason, people have a hard time locating our website to access their their accounts. People always try to type the website into google or yahoo, and that ends up directing them to the wrong site. So we GIVE them the website name...and say "don't type this into a search engine, just type it into your address bar to directly go to the website"

People still focking type it into google and mess with their login information every time. Look, if I give you the flippin' website address, GO to the website directly. Especially if I tell that by typing it into google focks up your login. People get pissed at us because they google directs them to a different webpage. I hate people.

Yeah I've been waiting 3 months to start my final school here in great lakes for the Navy. This base is miserable. I can't wait to leave Great Mistakes!

In a stupid car accident lawsuit that has been going on for over 2 years...Thought it was over and got a call about the lawsuit 3 weeks ago...Drunk guy on a motorcycle runs into my stopped car and I get cited...lolz. (he was fine by the way). I'm not worried about my personal wellbeing or anything, I'm 99.9% sure it gets settled well under policy limits, I just want it to be over with.

You know what really grinds my gears? Pittsburgh driving. The drivers suck...you can't turn left on yellow or even the first three seconds after its red...because oncoming cars do not stop until then. And then assholes who are turning left will go first on a green light when I'm going straight (it's not like I sit there after the light turns). Anddd the interstates! Ugh! You have 10 feet to get on/off...so you have to stop to merge onto the interstate (real safe..going from a stop into 70mph traffic)..and it's exactly the opposite when getting off...half the time there is no exit lane. And that's what really grinds my gears.

A co-worker whose last day is next Wednesday, but it may as well have been last week because she hasn't done crap since she put in her two weeks.

Nope, I am at the University of Akron. Thanks for the tip about adderol. I am going over to a girl's apartment after the test to umm "relieve stress" so I might have to study for this thing naturally.

For me it is a couple of lazy, unmotiviated people that I work with. No matter how busy the office may be they go at the same slow-assed plodding pace they always do. I cannot deal with lazy people. Get busy or get the hell out of my way.

The idiot that I am working with on a project right now. He is offshore (Bangalore) and was supposed to be doing the coding for a project for our client. I was in charge of getting the requirements and dealing with the client and then passing along the info to him to work on outside of US business hours. The dumbass hasn't completed anything and I've had to add in all of the logic. All he did was add a few fields to a form but didn't add any of the logical requirements for displaying those fields to the right people. If I ever get a chance to go over to our office in India the first thing I'm gonna do is punch that bastard in the earhole.

I have a group project with 7 people and again I got put in charge of puting the power point together. It is due today so I told them to email their slide either Monday or Tuesday. I have only received slides from 3 people, when I get to class tonight it's going to be their problem because I'm going to hand the other 4 people the slides that are completed and they can deal with this mess of a presentation.

Columbus drivers. Specifically my fellow morning/evening commuters riding along 270 East and West. Whenever there's an accident, it's like the entire expressway gets shut down. And it's never a single car accident..no no no...it's always 2-3 cars or something. Traffic slows to a crawl everytime. With winter coming up, I'm going to be heading to work early just to anticipate the traffic jams in the bad weather.
