No more Miss Nice Bitch.
All right, I’m just an angry person this week. Well…not angry, more like…well…I have 3 WTF Moments.
WTF Moment #1: That’s not very nice…
I went bowling with the program today (don’t ask, I sucked monkeys), and we were about to leave, when my friend (who is also the crush I squee about often) comes in and finds out about the trip (he wasn’t in for a few days, so he didn’t really know). He wants to go, and I tell him to look for the person who’s taking us so he can ask if he can go (he most likely could have). He gets stopped by his case manager (we all get assigned a case manager when we first come in. Mine is a pain, but not so much that I try to avoid her), and the exact words that comes out of this condescending man’s mouth: “Oh, I have to talk to you, so you can’t go on the trip.”
My mouth dropped. I’ve seen how this man work. On the surface, he may seem like a nice guy, but he’s a prick who has no kind of professionalism. I would have gone about this little situation a little different. What he could have done was let him go on the trip and told him that if he could, if he can come back to the program. Or let him go, and speak to him on Monday. I don’t know the urgency of this “talk”, but I have a feeling that it was something that probably could have waited. It’s no wonder why every one cringes when they hear his name, even if they aren’t in his case load. I told my friend “good luck”. Unfortunately, he’s probably going to see what I meant by that…
WTF Moment #2: No socks? No shoes? What the fuck’s your problem?
Today on my way home to the bus stop, I see two girls with a baby girl in one of the girl’s arms. Really cute baby, about maybe 3-4 months old. Then I look at her feet. They were as bare as the day she was born. Seriously, she had no socks or shoes on. Even though the weather is gorgeous compared to what it has been for months, it is not 80 degrees outside. And even so, a baby that young should still be dressed accordingly so they don’t catch a nasty cold.
I don’t get that. You have a child who is so young who isn’t dressed properly. That opens them up to a cold, the flu, or pneumonia, of which both of the latter can be truly devastating (and possibly deadly). Don’t do that. This also goes for 3-year-olds walking in public with no shoes or socks on during the warmer months.
WTF Moment #3: Fashion Faux Pas #3
Today, right before I left for the bowling trip, I saw a new client who we call “Jaws” because she’s so vicious that she looks like she’ll take a bite out a guy’s dick. Usually she would wear something half decent (and she has really cute earrings sometimes). But today…tell me why she comes in with a sweatsuit about 3 sizes too small for her? No lie; she came in with her belly hanging out. There is a small dress code at the program where you can pretty much wear anything provided that they are appropriate for a school or work environment. So you can wear shorts as long as they aren’t Daisy Dukes or anything. But this cannot possibly go well with anyone here. I found it rather sickening. She’s a big girl so you know…there are just certain things that you should not wear. I know that I don’t have the cajones to go anywhere where my flabby stomach is showing.
This is not to say that if you’re a big girl you should wear something that looks like an 80-year-old would wear. But you shouldn’t look like a 2-for-1 coupon whore. This goes for any woman. You don’t have to wear something that can only be described as an old rag to get attention. Wear an old rag, attract an old bag. Cover your shit, you’ll be a big hit. Remember that.
Now that I got the WTF Moments out the way, I have something else to say. Now I’ve been really nice when it came to commenting sites like Despair. I may have slipped up a few times, but I do my end of the bargain. I get sites to comment on, I do it, unless it hasn’t been updated in months, or if they’re dead links. But I notice that there are a few individuals who don’t bother to do any kind of commenting anywhere. I hear the complaints all too often. I know that I’m a bit dull (and so are a very large bulk of other blogs out there), but I like blogging, and if I’m dull, so be it. If I get a blog to comment on that’s dull, I find something in there that’s not as dull to comment on. How hard is it really?
There are the ones who do comment and post “nice layout”. I know on Despair it’s against the rules for those kinds of comments. I have a one-sentence rule about layouts. You have one sentence for a comment on the layout (only if you can’t resist, and if it’s okay with the blog owner of course), and whatever else best be on the blog topic. Some people are great at that, and others just like to post two words, and expect a free plug. That’s not very nice.
Of course, me, I’m too nice when it comes to stuff like this. Up until a few days ago, I never reported anyone who didn’t comment. But it’s gotten kind of annoying really. I said this on Alias:
How I try to comment on sites for Despair (even though 60% of them are duller than mine), and I get zero back from the ones who are supposed to comment on mine.
But then when I miss one day because I get off the computer quickly, and I have no time, some pricklette reports me. Something tells me that it’s the same bitches who don’t comment on me when it’s their time.
But I digress. I’m just a very PMSy person this week. And I know why too. Ladies, I think you might be able to sympathize.
I went to the All Stars Project for the orientation and tour. I love it there. I go for training on April 7th, and I start any Saturday thereafter. Now I would love to get a paying job in the performing arts field. That’d be so freaking hot. The only thing is that the building is about 15 minutes away from the subway, but I can handle it. I hope.
Speaking of paying jobs, the job at the Board of Education is taking so long that I’ve lost interest. I didn’t even get trained yet, some people still need fingerprinting, and some people got all that done and has yet to be assigned to a school. They work like they got a snail up their ass. And since I’m having other personal issues to deal with now, I’m going to need a little bit longer. If anything, we’ll probably just go a completely different direction since it’s obvious where my interest really lies. Maybe I’ll get that interest back. So I’ll just wait and see.
I’m working on the hosting site’s layout that I’ve been putting off for like 2 months. That I don’t mean to do, but I’m still having issues on making it work for IE. Why can’t those who use IE see that it sucks monkey cock and switch to Firefox? Seriously. Oh well, I’m figuring it out. Also, P739 will be open on April 8th. Must do the hacks that I said I would. But at least I did a couple of themes. One of them I’m having some issues with (getting the colors right), but I’m getting it. Oh yes. I will.
Oh my…you’d think that with all I’m saying now, I should blog more often. It’s going to happen eventually. Eventually. And with that, I bid you adieu for now.

I so understand were you are coming from, it’s not cool when you sign up at a site cause you want more visitors and comments but then when the person comments at your site, you don’t comment at theirs.
To me that is fuckin BS, it’s does not take that much time out of your day to send a comment back to that person, I always do.
I get people who come to my site, read my posts and say nothing.
Like this one post I had called mix feelings, about 40 people read it and no one said anything.
It was very hard for me to talk about, let alone have everyone see it, there are so many fuckin bitches out there.

Hey Nat-Marie,
Just wondering if you received my e-mail… It seems the server is still having problems… Hope it’ll be resolved soon!
Take care!

I think we all have days, weeks, or even months like these. I agree with the commenting thing. It is ridiculous that half of the sites are dead or not updated.

We all have our pet peeves. Although that one with the baby is absolutely horrible. Poor child!

You already know what I think about the whole Despair thing. Seriously, I report people because it’s the only way they learn.
Have I mentioned how excited I am for Project 739?! I’ve been waiting for it, for like ever lol.
I need to make a layout for Metamorphosis, but as you can see that got no where fast, hah. Maybe I’ll get motivated enough to do it… but chances are, probably not. ^^

I am sorry that you’re not feeling your best. We have those days. And I really sympathize with you when it comes to Despair.nu pet peeves. I seem to get comments like that way too often and that really bugs me.
I hope your PMS moment will go away soon!

I know! If you join Despair, Xposure, etc. you want comments, so in return you (not directly, you
) should also complete the tasks. Ugh.
I really like your site! And I hope everything goes well with P739!

I remember I tried to put my site on hiatus through those sites because my computers were going in for routine maintainence, and the hiatus failed. I was reported like crazy. The worst was when my daughter got cancer and I didn’t post for a month, and someone wrote some stupid remark that I should have commented on her site; she didn’t care if my daughter had cancer or not. People surprise me.

“But then when I miss one day because I get off the computer quickly, and I have no time, some pricklette reports me. Something tells me that it’s the same bitches who don’t comment on me when it’s their time.”
I am currently signed up on two sites and it was not until just now that I bothered to look at who commented and who did not. I found that more than half of the people that were supposed to comment my site during early to mid-March on Exentrique did not – mainly because they have not updated since January of this year, and in one case, the person has not updated since August of last year. I can only imagine how many “failure to comment” reports that person has received – hah!
She’s a big girl so you know… there are just certain things that you should not wear. I know that I don’t have the cajones to go anywhere where my flabby stomach is showing.
I was 230lbs at one point in time and I hardly wanted to wear a t-shirt and sweatpants let alone a semi-belly-bearing tiny tee and a mini. I hate when girls cannot respect the way they look and show off “assets” that, well, they should not be showing off. Even now, at about 70lbs thinner, I would be damned if I would be caught in anything that showed the least bit of belly bulge flesh, peeking out of my shirt.

Yeah, it’s really annoying when you’re spending lots of time thinking about something intelligent to write and get nothing in return… :S
I also ask myself why some of the guys sign up, anyway…I’ve come across quite a few sites that were broken, some even didn’t allow comments. Why the signup, then? o.O

I’m doing my job for despair.nu right now!
But I know what you mean, I barely ever get comments from the despair.nu members I’m supposed to. It’s ridiculous.
Take care. ^^
