I'm sorry you feel that way, but I don't think we could ever come to a compromise that we both would find satisfactory.

I don't know what we would even be compromising about, because I didn't ask for anything, just point out that you arbitrarily pick fights with me. I didn't even ask you to stop, but I suppose it would be nice if you were aware you were doing it, so I guess you are saying that we can never compromise my desire for your self awareness with your refusal to be self aware? I don't even know.

We are wasting our time. I am ceasing communications and putting you back on ignore.

So, my book still isn't out yet, progress on the wiki is slow, and my writing is crap. Naturally, the answer to this is write more, so I'm looking at different projects. The one highest on the list of possibilities right now is a 2015 yearblog based around Cthulhu RPGs.

My god, man, why did you do that?! Some things just cannot be unseen! Now I need to go pour boiling water into my eyes.

On another note:

My house has been invaded by centipedes, so I may have to change my name and enter into Witness Protection, as everyone knows that those mulit-legged bastards from hell will chase you down until they get every single last cent out of you for child care.

See, this is why I stay away from the fan-infested parts of the internet.

Fuck, I got robbed.
Seriously, I had just started climbing out of debt and had all the money I had paid toward that debt stolen through a cell phone instant payment option that I had been opted into by the bank without my knowledge.
I don't want to live. Fuck this shit.

I was paying off a HUEG card debt. It's now back where it started.

Young Russians love monopoly money such as phone credit and other shit that might as well be dogecoin where its liquidity, usability and security is concerned. There is no security, and I mean none whatsoever; a scammer can send you a text message, then claim you entered the code they sent you in that message on their site, claim it constituted you opting in for a paid service and demand (your) money from the cellphone provider on those grounds. The cellphone provider will pay up because of course it will, they all do, and keep about 40% as a transaction fee.

Obviously, I hate monopoly money with the fury of a billion suns, and I never applied for an account and I never paid for anything except phone services with my phone balance. And yet, several times, such as when my cards were being reissued, I noticed they had signed me up for those monopoly money systems even though I specifically didn't tick the "please sign me up" box. I had to visit the office to get that shit cancelled and the asshole tellers would be like "calm the fuck down you thankless hysterical technophobic nerd bitch, we opted you in for your own good, dont you have anything better to whine about but okay we're gonna cancel, shut up already you twat".

So today I got paid, looked up my card balance to find out how much I had to set aside for debt repayment and saw it was empty, cleaned out through the mobile phone quick payment system (that I never signed up for), then presumably converted to monopoly money and to cash. 15 months of trying to climb out of debt went down the drain.

Okay, that's it. I'm never again looking at a spoiler tag.

There's a Noodles and Co. going in at a local strip mall. I applied as soon as I possibly could (when a "public notice of application for liquor license" or the like went up on the door mid-construction with the business name on it).
Today, there's a couple of hiring managers sitting at a table outside the still-in-construction restaurant meeting people and handling applications and the like, so I went over on my way into Starbucks.

...cue crestfall as I suddenly recognize one of them as my old manager from Panera.

There is now no chance that I will be working there, because she will not hire me. Because stupid people hate when you repeatedly point out that you know more about their job than they do, and remind them they only got the job because of bullshit "managerial" experience.

(no, I never actually told her she's fucking stupid and clueless, and only had her job because someone promoted her to manager once. I'm just a culinary student, and know how to actually properly handle food, which is fucking apparent when you're not working with teeny boppers who will do whatever stupid against-the-health-code shit you tell them to.)

@Starmaker
Don't you people have any consumer safety organizations over there?
Get one of them involved, chances are good they might be able to get your money back?

This, right here, is why I stopped working in food and became a spreadsheet cowboy. You have my absolute support with this.

Does anyone know how to get rid of three freezers full of old food?

My grandfather has been out of his house and in hospital/sheltered housing for about a year and doesn't look like he's going back to the house, so we're tidying up to rent out the house. However, he has three freezers with out of date food and unlabelled leftovers.

We have a skip, but that much food, especially after days outside in the summer, is going to be hazardous waste. We have food recycling, but only about a cubic foot a week. Is there anywhere obvious to get rid of it? I live in the East of England if that makes any difference.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Sat Jun 07, 2014 12:01 pm

ask around with farmers if they want it as pig food or something?
