The Belligerent/Happy Rant And Rave Thread

I stole this idea from another forum in which I participate. I have a bit of a belligerent streak. When I'm irritated, I will let you know with graphic descriptions of the carnage I'm about to inflict. However, I'm really a very happy guy. I'm actually very expressive in general, people just only notice it when I'm talking about choking someone. I thought I'd leverage that into this thread. The way that this thread works is that you post something you're mad, angry, or upset about (the Belligerent Rant), then you post something you're happy about (the Happy Rave). The rants and raves can be as long or short as you want, as detailed or general as you want, and about any subject matter (work, personal life, TAM, etc). Just remember that nothing on the internet is truly anonymous. I'll start it off: Rant The girl in the cubicle next to me is one of the most annoying coworkers with whom I've ever worked. This b!tch loudly and vocally complains all day long about everything, and not least of all her demonic Satan child. This kid is so bad that he's constantly under threat of expulsion from his school, and this girl has to leave at least once a week to go deal with him. And I get to hear about it. ALL. F@CKING. DAY. To make it worse, she and the girl next to her are somewhat attractive, which means there's an endless parade of f@cking ass clown men coming by their cubes to flirt with them. Every day around 3PM, I'm approaching the end of my rope. I just want to walk into her cube, rip a bunch of keys off of her keyboard, them shove them in her mouth to shut her the f@ck up. Rave I genuinely love my job. The hours are great, the pay is great, but most of all, I'm enabled with the capability to do the job that I love: Software development. I'm one of those very few lucky people that loves what he does, is very good at it, and makes good money at it as well. My mid-year review was yesterday, and my boss complimented me over and over about how good an addition to the team I am, how good a developer I am, lucky to have me, etc. The mid-year review isn't a review for raises/promotions, just a way to touch base. Even so, it's great to hear such wonderful feedback from my boss.

Put the internet to work for you. via Personal Recipe 2629979
