Things that Annoy you right now

Post » Tue Jan 11, 2011 7:16 pm

Right now i'm getting pretty ticked off lately at trying to find a job. Instead of getting depressed like I used to i'm trying different things yet I keep meeting this dead end. Even entry level positions seem to be putting up this road block which severely annoys me. Every job i've looked at online and at local stores wants a person to have 2 to 3 years experience in the industry instead of providing training on the job. I know things are tight, but this is getting ridiculous and makes it hard for people like myself to even hope of a job.

I've tried a grocery store, local restaurant, mailing/packing place, and even looked at online jobs just answering the phone yet nothing. Only place I even had some "mild" luck with was the restaurant where they said they didn't have any openings yet sounded like they would train me on the job as a garbage boy/dish washer. I'm 27 years old still living with my relative and can't do a dang thing to help out except keep the house clean.


Anyways that's what annoys me right now how about yourself?

Whoa. I'm still in High School, my major concern at the moment is the German grammar test tomorrow which makes it impossible for me to play Oblivion today, but this feels pretty minor compared to your post.

I hope you find something, good luck. :)

I'm thinking about existentialism and it annoys me. Why? Because there is no answer.

Having to work today with little sleep.

Ironically, Funny enough, for myself, having NOT to work today because of a serious snow fall. I can't even get my car out the parking lot, snow is up to my knees. My boss called to cancel my day of work and ask if I can come tomorrow instead but I can't... losing 9hr of pay! A van has jack-knifed down the street and nobody can go up the slope. We're all stuck!

WHEN PEOPLE MISUSE THE WORD 'IRONY' (and all of its forms)! I'VE SEEN IT TWICE ALREADY.

When customers say I talk too fast. Yeah well, you think too slowly. I'm from California. http://knowyourmeme.com/i/000/052/812/original/Deal_with_it_dog_gif.gif?1275684729

Not knowing what country I'll be living in next year, but knowing which one I want to be in and am too scared to admit it to my family.

The fact that I'll be about twenty-six or twenty-seven when I get my bachelor's degree.

Loan payments.

There is no 'A' in 'definitely'.

When customers get mad at me because I tell them it's $200 for us to remove a virus. Yes, it's expensive, but if you want to complain so much about it, why don't you look up your symptoms on Google and do it yourself in an afternoon?

Bees and roaches.

When people don't know how to spell my name. It's the easiest freaking name to spell in the world. It's a common noun and a common past-tense verb.

When people take me seriously when I'm clearly being jocular.

Dead-ending in conversation with people around me once I establish that I don't like Bruno Mars or Katy Perry, or Keeping Up with the Kardashians. I don't hate all things mainstream. I just hate stuff that's actually horribly bad.

My cat is lying on my lap. He is SO heavy!
Other than that (and a Geography test in two days :cryvaultboy: ), I'm fine.

Degrading health of loved one.
One great big maelstrom of [censored]ery. Ahh life.

I also need sleep and to take the day off from work. Neither of which happened.

Pretty much the exact same thing. Fortunately I managed to finally find a job that I'll probably be starting some time this week. But yeah, there's nothing more depressing than applying for a stocking position at K-Mart and getting a reply saying you're not what they're looking for. <_< Then you go on Craigslist and see "Web Designer Needed ASAP". Sweet, I can do that! "Must have two years experience and must be familiar with Microsoft Office 2012, Adobe Photoshop Corporate Edition, Wanky Widgets 2008 and Visual COBOL+++ Express." <_<

Goddamned appointment with a geneticist. Hope the news comes back alright, but this is just the consultation coming up in a few weeks. Still haven't been sleeping very well lately.

One of my best friends cancelling our get-together three days in a row and then not even contacting me the past two days to reschedule, which makes me feel like [censored] to say the least.

Two of my friends basically using me for a ride to the gym, and taking me along as a guest but paying little to no attention to my presence while we're there, until they want to leave.

My girlfriend, and our seemingly endless stream of fights, disagreements, and unresolvable tension for the past 11 months.

Those aforementioned people being the only people in my life outside of my family, which leads me to the next one...

Seemingly endless stream of fights, disagreements, and unresolvable tension with my family for the past few months. :facepalm:

The fact that I can't quit smoking because I am frequently so angry, frustrated, or depressed that I immediately go to smoking for solace. Not doing so just doubles the weight already on my shoulders. I only managed a week and a half quit before caving in.

The fact that every job I've attempted to get in the past year has either ignored my phone calls or claimed repeatedly they did not get my application, after sending it in three times. I've exhausted all possibilities in my township, and ...

I don't have a reliable vehicle to drive to and from work anywhere outside of my township, because it is a huge, gas-guzzling truck that requires over $100 in gas weekly to go any further than twelve miles on a regular basis, and ...

The ridiculously high cost of everything and my inability to pay for any of it, my [censored] phone bill not least of all, nor the gas for my piece of junk truck that is about to fall apart, nor food, nor rent.

Having to sell all of my guitars, equipment, and video games to pay for the aforementioned things, as well as for my constantly needing money or things girlfriend. :glare:

And the fact that the weather simply can't make up its mind. Beautiful and sunny one day, cold and windy the next.

Damn it all, I'm gonna go play me some Fallout. The post-nuclear wasteland is far less stressful.

Assuming one of the ones you were talking about was myself, I'm quite aware of how to use the word but just didn't explain the whole situation. It was ironic because my boss had said I should take the day off because I had been away and I insisted that I'd be fine because I was getting in early. Thus, it was ironic then that the plane was cancelled and I ended up very tired.

However I'll be sure to explain myself in absolutely entirety for the benefit of a stranger next time. :)

When people consistently point out others grammatical errors without offering a helpful explanation of where they went wrong as though they think they are superior because of it.

My own inability to get into shape for ball hockey next month. Far too lazy.

The Skyrim forums. My 8 year old brothers b-day had more intelligent and mature conversation :laugh:

I feel your pain, I have the same problem. I'm only 19 and just looking for a part-time job, yet the issue seems to be the same. No one will hire anyone who doesn't have any experience. Can someone please tell me how on Earth I'm supposed to get this experience when no one will hire me without it? It's ridiculous.

How people say "nice" as an adjective for pretty much everything. At this point, I don't consider it an adjective (unless being applied to a person).

People with awful grammar (my dad said recently "thems is nice!", the first two words are just grammatically wrong and read my last line for my problem with the third word).

My math class. I just don't like it. Not even the subject matter, just the class itself.

Getting a wisdom tooth extracted and still going to school. Had a major headache from it and a bleeding gaping hole in my gums though out the day.
