The good.

Got confirmation for ending my phone contact, I'm free to get a new one (With a new phone)
I got a reply from Peter about my equipment.

The bad.

MY EQUIPMENT ISN'T DONE YET! >.<
Yeah, something about getting bad files and then the wrong files and then having to wait on this other thing to finish the bucket off nicely which won't be done until TUESDAY!

Suddenly all guilt for not going out of my way to keep on working with other dentist dude after leaving Melbourne fades away, only to be replaced with blinding hate.
This is the guy who ... actually robber me of a distinction because I'm a poor communicator. And then he goes and throws a stunt like that.

I'm so pissed off right now. Words cannot convey the feelings. Nor can caps lock rage.
He's giving me 200 bucks off of my bill to make up for it because he feels guilty. DAMN STRAIGHT HE SHOULD!
You know, pizza delivery guarantees delivery within X time or your food's FREE!

Tuesday is the 1st of December. Pressuming he actually ships on that same day, I should be lucky if it hits Europe by December 14th, but considering the holidays coming up and custos going peshit on packages, it might vary. Fucking asshattery this! I think I'll consider my self damn lucky if I get it before x-mas hits us. FUCK!

What an aweful email to come home to after a fun evening with friends, cats and chinese food. >.<

God fucking DAMMIT! 

My bloody fucking emails are all screwed up. Sometimes theyjust will not go out no matter how hard i try and keep coming back. Some appear to go out and then hang in limbo. Others just come back after days of spending time in limbo. It's FUCKING unreliable I never know if I'M waiting for an answer form them or THEY'RE waiting for an answer from me!
And while it wasn't a problem whe I was jsut mailing family and friends I now may have lost my spot in the equine dentistry course because apparetnly they have not been recieving ANY of my emails, nor of my pleas to get an extension on the in-voice to pay them the money.
So now I have an ominous email sitting in my inbox titled "cancellation" and it's driving me up the wall.
I sent an email back obviously begging for forgiveness of my unintended radio silence that I didn't know of and pleading if I can still have my spot even if I don't have the monnies yet but DAMMIT I don't even know if that's going through! I'll send it again tomorrow if I havent heard back yet but FUCK!

I can't seem to get a hold of my dad, I've sent multiple emails (which are apparently unreliable) so I called a few times and I just keep getting his voice mail! >.<
I DO receive email just fine for as far as I can tell, it's just outgoing mail that's a right fucking mess and it's pissing me the FUCK OFF!

Amazing how one moment everything seems to be coming together almost miraculously perfect and then suddenly it all goes to hell in a handbasket again. I don't GET IT! Is the universe just messing with me or something?!

Dad, if you're reading this. CONTACT ME! Right away! I don't care what time it is, I'll wake up for it if I have to. I needs me some monnies FAST! >.<

I need a credit card or something! >_< Just for online purchases since PayPal is portraying fail like fail was never portrayed before!
I've always happily used PayPal with very little problems until I decided to flop down in Aus. Suddenly stuff becomes too difficult for PayPal. What happened ot the good old days where PayPal was all in english and actually a multi-national company!

Apparently NOW it's all branched off and I'm the happy member of Dutch PayPal which means I can do ANYTHING with my PayPal account in the netherlands. I cna ship there, I can use the dutch bank and all is peachy.
However it's apaprently impossible to ship anything to a country other tha nthe netherlands. I can change everything abot my shipping addres EXCEPT THE COUNTRY IT'S IN!

This already led to a rather entertaining customer note to the Office of Letters and Light along the lines of "PAYPAL LIES! I live in Australia now, not the netherlands, please ignore their LIES! D8" but I still fear my order might have gone missing! DX

In the meantime I'm trying to work my way through customer service and FAQ of PayPal looking over every question EVER asked in the history of PayPal but to no avail. Apparently no one ever EVER tried ot change the country they lived in.
Never mind the ever amusing comment on my PayPal that "Sorry, the FAQ has not yet been translated to english."  because apparently the dutch FAQ is completely different from the english one.

Eventually I manage to fight my way through the customer service form to contact a helpdesk employee (subjbect, sub-subject, question, message, language message was written in, etc.) asking them how the hell I should go about that.

I get a nice reply back explaining it's DUTCH paypal and it wants nothing to do with filthy Australia! They tell me if I really want ot I should close my current account and sign up with PayPal Australia.

I e-mail them back asking if I can't just run two account because it seems rather dumb to close it now and then re-open it next year, they agree with me and say I can.

I try this an I NEED TO HAVE AN AUSTRALIAN BANK ACCOUNT TO SIGN UP FOR IT!
 

RAAAWR! PayPal is driving me maaaad! DX<
and getting in the way of my x-massy shopping!

Okay... ranty-mope thing. Go.
( Rant of fail with ponies/friends )

And because one drama wasn't enough to ruin my day we add another one on top of it...

( Puppy rant )

I hate it when things don't go the way I planned them, so now I'm even more upset than I was when I went to sleep...
I'm sore, I feel like crying the whole time and really everything basically sucks right now...
 

Never had such a ridiculous thing happen to me online... And that's saying something...

So, on this forum I RP at since a little while the matter of creditting artists came up, oocly in the chat. BAsically.. an image was made, I asked if the artist didn't need crediting, they said no, I was ready to leave it at that.
At the same time someone insinuated that because it were only photos it was alright not to credit. Things like; "who is going to find out anyway, honestly?" and "It's uploaded on a stock site so the artist is OK with people using it." and "I don't have to deal wit hthat crediting crap, I use google images." and "I'm not making a profit off it anyway." came up.

I wish I had the chat of that, but alas, it was gone before I knew it could be relevant.

Basically; I corrected him where I felt necessary (mostly the google thing) and pointed out it was just nice and common courtesy to credit the artist whose work you're using, especially if they ask you to (to which the reply was "fuck common courtesy! lol, always wanted ot say that.").
I wasn't telling him to credit, I wasn't accusing anyone of not creditting either. I was only saying; I think it's nice to credit where credit is due and certainly when people ask for it. It was light and breezy (or so it was intended anyway) and mostly supposed to be informative...

Nothing short of a bitchfit happens, guy apparently gets pissed off says he's not arguing anymore. Me and another member point out it's not even really an argument. Seems it doesn't matter and he's pissed off. Well... alright. Conversation continues we both chat as normal... For as far as I see, no harm done, no hard feelings. Although his rather bitter remark that he "is an anarchist devil for not creditting stock footage." was rather amusing.

( Some twenty minutes later, this happens; )

Time to take a few big steps back from the OOC happening there I think... I would PM him to tell huim my concerns but I don't think he's even worth my time anymore... Makes for a nice rant though.

Not friends-locked because I don't care if he sees this, in fact, I hope he gets wind of this (and he probably will) so he can read this.

YOU, sir, are an ASSHAT. You're an asshat if you don't credit the artist, you're an asshat for pretending to handle this in a civilized fashion while cornering me into agreeing with you.
Henceforth; I shall avoid you, I do not like you.

Failed driving exam for the most ridiculous reason ever...

So to explain to people not from around my parts... city I livei n has some wonderful narrows streets which in any sane country would be either one way streets or cycling lanes... not her,e here it's a two way street where you can also park on both sides. They put in speed bumps to slow idiots down...

So as I cruise along those streets, I'm just being a good drive,r sticking ot the speed, in my opinion nicely on the middle side of the road with enough room for oncoming traffic and enough room betwene me and the parked cars. I'm doing 25km/h or so in a 30km/h zone... no problem since I'm approaching a speed bump anyway...

All is going just dandy when some FUCKER from the 'woningstichting' decides to suddenly, without any indication (no blinkers or nothing) to just start his car and immediatly swerve onto the road fomr his parking spot, onto my lane. Nevermind the fact that there's MY car way too close to EVER cut infront of. So as I'm responding (because there was half a dozen cyclists arund me too) the examinator immediatly went into a fit of "WATCH OUT! D*" And jerked the wheel around...

So, I figure it would be my mistake since clearly the fucker in the van wasn't paying attention and not me...

We drive on, there's a curve in the road.. I'm doing 50km/h as I'm allowed... I looksideways in the overdramatic theatrical fashion they want me to, so the curve to the left gets a bit big.. no big dea, but there happens ot be a car parked on that side of the road too, so I get a bit cose. NOt even ridiculously so, just a bit and as I go to correct it, examinator dude again jerks the wheel around in a fit of "WATCH OUT! D8"

So maybe that last one was my bad, but now he flunked me merely because I got to close ot the parked cars on my right... according to him.

Other than that I drove just spiffy and all went well, I even managed to park the car twice without killing anyone and while keeping the car in tact...

UGH! I'm so annoooooyed. I've neer had that problem of driving too much on the right.. well yeah.. the first time driving but after that, never...! It's jsut so stupid and I insist the first time I wasn't even too close t othe car, the fucktardi n the van just wasn't awake yet!

GRAWR!

But yeah... I failed... going ot do the test again probably in october since i said I wouldn't be available all of september. Then I'll get a few lessons to freshen up (since technically there was nothing wrong with my driving.. just... unfortunate turn of events...) and do it again and hopefully be more lucky then... bugh...

Now my brain can't figure out wheter it wants to pass out and sleep off my crabbyness or if it just wants to start pounding with a fierce head ache bordering on migraine...

As a silver linign dad was nice enough to offer ot pay for the second exam. Since he agree with me it was a bit stupid to fail me on something like that... Not like I stuck too close ot the right side on a 5 lane high way or something... it's a friggin' narrow road..!

Yes! Three updates for this asshattery deserves it's own post. 

More schoolrelated stuff.

So I handed in my final project (finally!) April 22nd. My teacher saidshe was going to read it and come back to me before the week was out with what she tought of it etc.
Verily so friday of that week I got an email from her though it was so uninformative it was almsot painful. something along the lines of;

"The-shrieking-banshee and I are considering your grade. You will hear our final decision after the May Break."

Right.. okay.. so as May break is over I was expecting an email yesterday as grade were due then. Got nothing. Grades were being sent in today at 16:00. I received an email from my teacher at 17:30.

"Je profielwerkstuk is beoordeeld met een voldoende." *
Your project was graded with a pass.

No feedback, no opinions. Nothing. No critiques, no helpful comments, nothing to even remotely indicate what she thought of it, other than that it was passable! 

.....

Wtf ROC? It took you THREE WEEKS to come up with that? Are you actually affraid to teach your students anything? Feedback might've been helpful, since it's not a Gold Star project apparently, so where could I improve on huh? All I really learned now was that apparently I have to dumb myself down to make myself understood to my classmates and I should never try to do more than is strictly asked of me. Very valuable life lesson right there. I can now also lower my IQ whenever I need to. 

Or was it just that my shredding evaluation I gave on the project, the system and the school's policy of abovementioned alledged overachieving so hurtful that you no longer WANT to teach me anything?

New school motto, should they ever need one, here's my suggestion:
"The ROC: No, we really ARE just trying to annoy you."

I don't evne have an icon to express my sheer rage right now.

For everyone's sanity and future reference;

IF this conversation ever occurs at any point during your educational 'career'

"I have a subject in mind, but think it might be too big..."
"What is it?"
"*your subject goes here*"
"Oh no, that's PERFECTLY doable!"

THEY FUCKING LIE!!!!
Go with your gut instinct and do not believe them!

I'm honeslty half of a mind ot change topics now, two weeks before hte final deadline of my final project.
Either htat or go:

"The Fall of Nanjing.

Japanese army invaded for no apparent reason. Chinese ran because they were pussies and stupid. JApanese took over city. JApanese slaughtered a lot of people for their amusement. Lots of people died. Japan is in denial about it. This makes China angry. They are still angry. The end."

AND THEN THEY CAN FUCKING TELL ME IT'S TOO LONG OR TOO DIFFICULT!
Maybe I shouldj sut make that my conclusion.... >.<

For fucks' sake.
