Things That Annoy You

[Shane for Wax]

As everyone else says, unless you took a trip to the station without telling us you ain't got nothing on your record, kiddo. It isn't like if you misbehaved in school and it's on your permanent record. It doesn't work like that in the real world.

Of course, if he tries to get you charged, then he's likely fucked, because he prolly has great fuck all for evidence.

It's common for bad managers to steal, then set up a newbie to take the blame, whether they report to the cops or not. As a manager, corporate and the cops would take him at his word in these kinds of scenarios. He himself would get caught eventually if he was just cookin' the books without a patsy. So, he's pocketed $175 bucks, made a company loss report, and "solved" the problem by firing you. He's scum, but you already knew that.

Though imagine if you could get a criminal record based solely on an accusation from a private company without so much as a passing glance from the police or courts? Just need some robots running around or perhaps some flying cars and you'd have a pretty standard cyberpunk dystopia.

I got bitten by a redback while under the house and my body wants to kill me

Eeesh... Yeah... Widow spiders more than likely won't kill a healthy adult, but boy, will it ruin several days of their life.   Sorry that happened, mate.  Drink lots of fluids if you can.  Try to flush the venom from your blood as quickly as you're able.  Until then... sit tight and pamper yourself.

Note: I say this as a person who has to pay out the nose for any medical treatment.  If I lived in Oz, and it hurt really bad,  I'd go to the ER and maybe get something to counteract the venom making your days easier.

I had to go to the doctors. Been stress vomiting for the past few days for other reasons which left me quite fucked over and weak

[SpaceProg]

Well, it's good you got seen to.  Feeling any better now?  I don't expect you do too much, as I've been bitten by a Widow before (but I couldn't afford a doctor bill) but, eventually things get better.

That stress vomiting though, Hof... anything you'd like to get off your chest?  If you'd prefer to keep mum, that's okay, but sometimes venting/talking about what's stressing you helps.

One of the ways to figure out who really took the money would be cameras, if there are any. All you gotta do is get a warrant for 'em and then the truth pops out.

My computer was a gift from my boyfriend a year ago. Thing is, he installed a pirated windows on it. And its recently recognised its not genuine. So it takes a random number of force reboots to get to desktop. Could be 5 could be 15.

Stupid to get upset over but its the first proper gift he gave me and its pretty much the nicest thing anyone has done for me

[SpaceProg]

I can see how it can get pretty annoying and tedious.   I got a virus once that would cause my computer to restart at random times.  Oh was I happy to have found that little bastard and nuked it.

[Ghoti]

Update/clarification: I was charged with misdemeanor theft by the manager's Friend on the Force (who seemed to be a Brennan-level shitlord from the ten minutes or so I talked to him), the manager has great fuck all for evidence (that I saw, anyway), the legal battle happens in February, and I'm out on my ass if I can't find a new job in three months/whenever it gets warm depending on which happens first. Considering most places are dumping their seasonal workers I'm looking at the very real possibility of spending some chilly spring nights on a park bench/fire escape/dark corner/wherever I feel safest. Yes, yes, there are shelters, but the ones I've heard about are NOT good places for a trans* person to turn his/her/xir back.

[SpaceProg]

Damn, that discouraging as all hell.  Funny how the cop happened to be a friend of your manager's too, eh?  *Rolls eyes*  Typical, really.  Gotta love it...

Well, you still have the court date, and if Manager Minge doesn't have adequate evidence...

So your parents won't give you shelter at all, period if you can't find work before three months/warmer weather comes?

[Ghoti]

Nope. My dad even spelled out how many times I'd be able to show up uninvited (once) before he'd shoot me for trespassing. (Guess whose side they took?) I don't want to go to my brother because he's got his own shit, and I don't really have any friends close enough (geographically and emotionally) to stay with them. If I believed in the type of deity(s) who gave signs and signals in the form of life events, I'd take this as a sign to get the hell out of Dodge and stay away for a good long while. Right now, any money that's not going into my gas tank is going towards a plane ticket to anywhere else.

[SpaceProg]

Well... whatever you decide to do, I hope it works out for the best.  Think carefully about each option that arises.

I did a cruise over Christmas. This was nice, but high winds forced us to cancel our last stop, so we spent three full days at sea. The problem is that since returning to dry land, I've been a little dizzy, as I now expect to feel the movement of the boat under my feet.

[SpaceProg]

Arr, ye need yer land legs back.  Disembarkation Syndrome be a bane to many landlubbers.  T'will fix itself, ifn' yer brain and semicircular canals be sure and sturdy.

... Did I really type that?   :p
