Rant About Whatever

DIRTYBUBBLEI fucking hate being 19/20 and not being at college. I have a pretty good job right now doing building maintenance and construction work, and I don’t have the slightest clue what I’d go to college for anyway. Im just so fucking bored in the fall/spring when no one is around. Even during the weekdays in the summer/winter I feel pretty bored. I just feel like I’m wasting “the best years of my life”. I’m honestly considering going to college just for the experience. Yeah I know it’s a stupid idea. I feel like I’m 40 years old.

safarisamFUUUUCK 101 classes, why do they even exist. I took my capstone already, don't make me write a circualr 5 page paper that can be done in 3 pages >:(

Profahoben_212Shit is so horrible. I've gotten fairly good at being concise....and my god the 101 classes make me want to quit college. I have to undue everything and just fucking ramble.

safarisamI have to take HSTA and HSTR 101's and fuck me. The worst part about changing my major; makes me want to drop out sometimes too. Not to mention I don't know how far to go on the 5th page for this prof.

Profahoben_212I'm guessing history is hstr? What's HSTA?

If it's a five page requirement I usually do 3/4ths into the 5th or a full 5th.....never had any problems with that.

safarisamHSTR is world history, HSTA is American history. I usually do 3/4ths but I've gotten lazier the further I get into my degree.

Eat.PantYo having a teenage life crisis. Been naive forever not thinking about my future other than the fact I’d be alright with mostly anything but would prefer to not go into further education, not because I can’t for some reason but it may not end up helping me in the long term (everyone goes to uni now a days, and there aren’t enough jobs). I turned 18 last Friday, my last exam of high school is in 28 days and I’m now realizing I’m not ready. Basically I’ve had a preconceived notion that I’ll get an apprenticeship and just hang out, work hard, but also do what I want in life (move out, ski every night after work and weekends, and be happy). Now in the present I sit at my desk looking at forums of people looking for apprenticeship starters for literal years and I’m having serious doubts. Guess this is what it means to be an adult huh.

theabortionatorPeople who speed from a light in that little right lane section that ends, just to get in front of you, not even drive fast, and get pissy because youre on their ass.

People who dont understand turn signals and merges.

People who dont understand that crazy dial with the numbers is telling them their speed.

Basically just shitty drivers as always.

DeebieSkeebiesWatching the campus police try to chase down a kid with down syndrome who is just having a shitty day and is having a little freakout/episode. The kid poses no threat, and I honestly thought he was just walking down the hallway minding his own business until an armed cop with his hand on his gun belt turns the corner and yells at the kid, and then the kid just takes off in a panic. They called in more back-up and its honestly just a sad situation overall.

This student is not a threat and just needs someone to come help him out, not chase him all over campus like a fucking cat. It makes him feel like a danger to everyone when cops are called.

"Hey guys, they're having an non-violent episode. You know what would help? If we called people who have guns to come here! That'll make it better!"

MLBMy life is a pretty big cluster fuck right now. So a little back ground to start...

I have been working as a wildfire fighter for the past four years and a year ago I got the opportunity to move up and become a crew leader and work full time. Obviously I jumped at the chance and was super stoked. The winter was awesome, and things were going pretty well. Then my first fire season was underway as a leader.

Right off the bat there were issues. I was moved to a different part of the district where I never really worked before. They had a bit of a different attitude and did things differently then the last base I had been at. No big deal, I have always learned and adapted. I soon learned how corrupt they would be when a member who had been there for a while came back to work. This guy is chaos incarnate. Heavy alcoholic, and drug addict who has favor with the bosses. No big deal, I just try to keep my guys away from him.

One night he decided that he was going to get back out on us, and just does the craziest shit. Starts inappropriately touching my rookie ( who’s a woman), and goes on a nice yelling fest around camp asking people to fight him/kill him. He does this for two nights. Needless to say I am not stoked. I want this dude either fired or put in a treatment program....none of this happens.

Try to brush it off, and move on with the season. It’s going ok other then some tiny bullshit issues, no big deal. Later on my bosses call me in saying they are getting complaints against me saying that I’m arrogant and hard to talk to. This blindsides me like a rocket ship. Turns out the guy I wanted fired, made a complaint against me and the management is backing him. Still drinking, still doing drugs. This really fucks me up since I put so much effort into making my crew work, and trying to go with the flow.

The season just falls from there. Trying to keep my crew motivated just becomes the most difficult task since we get the shit end of the stick from management. I try to get along with Mr Drunk peepants, but nothing works with this dude.

Anyways the season ends and I have a chat with my guys. They all said they had a good season, and would be stoked to come back. Fast forward to the end of my season, and I have a chat with my bosses. They said they don’t want me as a leader again next season, and lie to my face in my final PA. Say that I cause shit, and that I disrespected people ( again mr peepants) and that I would be welcome back as a member but not a leader. I call bullshit on the whole thing, call out their lies, but also listen to what they have to say. Honestly I can say that I wasn’t perfect, and had lots to learn but I didn’t do that badly and have seen so many leaders do worse.

Anyways I finish my season, take the winter off, and call it. Little did I know that this would be only the beginning of my nightmare. I later find out that my girlfriend who works on the logistics side of things get sexually harassed by a supervisor. Obviously I lose my fucking shit, but she wants to deal with it on her own.

I also learn during the winter that this limp and extreme pain is a herniated disk in my back. Doctors exam and MRI shows it pushing on my nerve, and the doc thinks it’s from fire fighting. I file a claim against my employer, and thus starts the worse year of my life. Everything from fighting with the insurance company, to maxing out my credit card just to live, and my girlfriend dealing with her sexual harassment claim has just made this a struggle.

On top of that there is the everyday pain that I deal with. I can’t walk without a limp, and getting out of bed is almost impossible. Honestly taking a shit can take almost 2 hours because it hurts to push, and sit. I would sell everything I own just to have a comfortable shit again. Needless to say I end up missing one of the best ski seasons I have ever seen. Basically just spend all winter fighting the injury comp board. My girlfriend also finds out that the company isn’t doing anything about the harassment even though they promised they would. It’s an old boys club that just doesn’t give a shit about women. She has panic attacks on the daily, and just cries about it everyday.

Things are going a little better on my side since the medical reports speak for themselves, but the aftermath has been devastating. Basically my employer has put a gag order on everybody, so now my friends that I have had for years don’t speak to me anymore. My supervisor that I looked up to threw me under the bus, and abandoned me...which to be honest is worse then the back pain. People I trusted and cared for just folded at the drop of a hat. I would have given everything ( including my life ) for these people, and they just gave up on me like I was nothing. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through in my life.

theabortionatorNot really a rant but saw this smaller gas station that didn't even look like a gas station in Laramie. I try and support the smaller places over the big chains. Turned around to check it out but it looked like it had closed recently. It's kind of sad when mom and pop places cant compete because people get so comfortable with brand names. Also the layout was a bit rough and even with a large gas sign you couldn't really see the pumps. Oh well I tried to support. rip

OregonDeadWTF is up with gas in WY? Seems like it should be a great deal because they make it right there but no. Stopped in Sinclair at the station in view of the Sinclair refinery and the price was higher than here in Oregon. Also they make you pump your own gas and it turns out the stuff they were selling as regular is lower grade with less octane than they can legally sell in Oregon. You have to pay extra for mid-grade in WY if you want the same regular gas we buy here. Looks like big oil has WY in a strangle hold.

Profahoben_212Everywhere makes you pump your own gas lolol


I've never noticed the gas prices I guess....driving through in two days I'll keep an eye out.

mulchbrainCome down here to NZ and then you'll be happy with gas prices again

MinggUntil VERY recently if was illegal to pump your own gas in Oregon. Now it’s legal for stations in rural areas below a certain population. It is also illegal to pump you own gas in New Jersey, hence the saying “We pump fists, not gas.”

OregonDeadYeah they have to pump it for you in most places here. Prices are no higher because of it though. Use the web if you are looking for a good price because it varies neighborhood to neighborhood.

Mt Hood Arco on the East side of Sandy is always a good price and nice people working there.

RparrI hate that I’m not allowed to pump my own gas. Why do people want those laws over there? I was very confused when I tried to gas up on Portland last month

OregonDeadI think it's really nice not to have to pump my own. Sometimes it's not nice out and I don't want to get out of the car. When I'm on the way to or from Hood I like to make a pit stop and use the bathroom etc. and I can do that while the attendant takes care of my gas.

Also it's not super easy for every driver to pump their own gas. It's really nice for my mom or elderly people to get that help automatically without having to ask. There is also a good percentage of people that pump gas right out onto the ground. At self serve stations I can't count how many times I've seen people just spray some gas out on the ground like they needed to test the pump or run a little bit before they put it in their car.

RparrBut isn’t it forbidden to pump your own gas in a city of 40,000 or more in Oregon? I get not enjoying pumping gas, I just don’t get turning it into a law

OregonDeadIMO it should be law everywhere. Why not give someone a job and keep things a little cleaner and nicer? We don't have to pay any extra. I bet there is some lady in Boise pumping gas onto the ground next to her car right now.

RparrI must be getting more conservative as I age, I just don't think it's fair for the government to regulate how we put gas into our car. Textbook governmental overreach to me. I also don't like it because you're expected to tip the people pumping your gas. Which is silly to me when I don't even have the option of doing it myself.

An interesting issue though, infinitely more thought provoking than which way Trump parted his hair this morning, or w/e news stations talk about these days

SEABURNI hope things are improving man, that's a rough go of it. You're one tough mofo, you've got this terrible sequence of things to keep you resilient and grateful through whatever else comes your way.

theabortionatorThis addiction network dude seems legit and has his own stethoscope.
