How's that possible? I mean, really cops don't do anything? It's the IRS they are impersonating, dunno, that sounds like some serious crap.

My own sad, my wife scared me shitless and my response was really subpar, my own defense is that we, I'm at least, are/am to fucking sensitive because the attempt to break in of the other night, also doing this in the mid of a blackout. I lost my temper and yelled a her, she's not happy. Electricity came back buy she's still mad.

It falls under the FCC, which is notoriously corrupt. The phone companies make a lot of money off scam phone calls, especially if they buy services to hide their identities. Occasionally someone will get caught, but it doesn't ever have much effect.

The relics were safe but the building has basically been gutted.

Just saw this, though not sure of its truthfulness of course.

This would certainly be nice, if true. Would make the entirely tasteless joke I vomited forth earlier be slightly less horrible.


Also, the heck? I thought you couldn't directly link images with https urls here?

Well I'm glad the loss was minimal.

You can't use https for avatar images, but I guess they work fine for normal image links.

This one didn't want to be who they was. On the Surface – it was a dull, unconsidered sadness. But everything changed. Which implied everything could change.

I have an urge to keep a diary, but typing it isn't satisfying and my handwriting sucks too much.

There's a lot of angsty and edgy stuff behind this that would be too embarrassing to write out.

Did you just invent Myspace?

This would be more fit for the rage thread but: some very insulting things happened in the last 48 hours and I plan to depart this place as soon as I can agree a departure date

You're still in Ireland, right? You're sure it's not just the local dialect?

Oh, I think "very insulting" implies a level of offence greater than mere dialect.

Whilst I'm normally more than happy to bash the Irish, the stereotypical idea that they're a rough-and-ready-foul-mouthed-yet-somehow-unaware-of-it race is simply untrue. Their diction is, as it is for everyone, primarily offensive when it is meant to be.

Not that Chair even mentioned diction, and only specified that 'things happened.'

I'd assume relating to his job, though I don't know.

S'funny, the only Irish people I know will hurl insults as the only acceptable means of greeting a person. Or conversing with them in general. Then again, it's not a very large sample group, and one of them's Northern.



In my own sad, I'm still obsessing over stuff. Being stuck in this stagnant, constricting environment isn't exactly helping matters. There is a faint hope that the path to freedom shall reveal itself tomorrow by way of merciful landlord, but I'm not gonna go expecting things to work out.

On the bright side, Facebook's search engine is incredibly fiddly, and I can now no longer find the particular comment she made regarding the boinking of her roommate, so I can't stare at it again to see if it's changed.

I went through a farce of a selection in which there was a clear favorite and it wasnt me. I was pretty much dogpiled.  But this is not what is irking me. No. What has me fuming is that now I have been approached with
- an expectation that I will accept a shitty post
- an offer to help me with "the next one" if I do that


I haven't given notice yet because I want to sort out my stuff first.  But as soon as that's done I'm making arrangements to leave
