Really. What sucks is that even though I'm a student, I'm just shy of the minimum hours needed to be exempted. Never mind I have midterms next week.

Midterms? What school has midterms this time of year? I'm working for my finals next month.

My school is on the quarter system. It sucks. Hard.

Math continues to taunt me. Damn you math. Damn you to hell. Or failing that, Oklahoma.

One of my tactical marines fell down the sink
then my captain that i got for chrismas arm fell down the sink
im going to have to get rid of the captain because when the arm fell of it ruined the model

Just wish they'd call and put me out of my misery one way or anothers!

Do you used to work for GW ? ( thought i saw a thread on it before o_o ) If so, doesnt that make you
automatically more qualified?

*misery is when they ask you to pick a book after the interview :x

....... atleast let me pick a box!!! not a book i never read!

Yarr. Did two stints part time about 4 or 6 years ago.

So I got a trial hour, then promptly stuffed it up well and truly. Just didn't get my mojo going. Told I could reapply, so thinking of just blagging a second crack at the trial hour. I seriously need a job, and I can think of a lot worse places to be employed!

You should probably stay away from sinks, either that or say that you're trying to be as real as possible with a sewer rats stratagem for cityfight.

I for got to mention the worst part
they fell in the garbage disposer and i turned it on thinking it was the light
the tact marine was devoid of detail anyway
damn krylon residue

That still leaves the question of WHY they were near the sink. Were you trying to give them a bath like a baby?

Trying to remove some residue that where on the models
but im kindof happy this happened becaus i dont have to worry about the models anymore and if they still have detail after all the scrubbing

Grrr spent much of the day cleaning my room , why does it get dusty so fast i dont understand.

Is it the towel? the window? or what! i vaccum so often and my mini gets covered in dust before i can paint it.

Open windows are killers for dust.

Try buying a little desk fan and leaving the window shut for a while, theres a good chance you won't has as big a problem.

You know what sucks, life in general. I mean look at it, life is pitiful. No sugar coating, no sprinkles, its just horrible. I mean what kind of cereal has no sugar coating on it.

But it feels stuffy since i take long baths and the steam makes my whole room feels moldy ( minus the mold )
I dunno what to do to have good air circulation and keep the dust out!

That and the glue isnt good smelling!

tried priming some minis
they turned into crap
i seriously think that my assult squade is cursed

you think your day was bad.. 2/30 on my math test! yeah thats right... if my math is correct thats 6%.



Wow that was ironic.

I have a cold. My head feels stuffy, my nose is blocked, my throat hurts, and my fringe is irritating my eyes.

I dont think i have cold, it should be allergy since i have been sneezing none stop all day. Not sure what exactly is the cause pollen or dust no idea , but im sick of vaccuming everyday.

Now my nose hurts to the touch lol

I knew someone who had a 4% overall for his english class.

Could've been those racoons you were talking about. Loads of ticks and mites on those suckers.

Speaking of school. I just took my final exam for chemistry. Even if I get a 100% and it replaces my 35%, I'm still failing the class.

You never know what can happen. I've had some classes where the teacher was on the way out (or just didn't give a crap) and just gave out grades as they please. Two years ago I quit showing up half way thru and still got a B.

Sometimes if you just talk to the professor and let them know what's going on they will cut you some slack.

@Halonachos: Chemistry teachers have no soul. You're screwed. jk (about the screwed part, seriously they're like Necrons).

Pollen? At this time of year? You Northerners and your wacky reverse seasons.

Some teachers are awful , especially ones that does nothing other then copying text book's material onto the black board. How will that teach us anything?
I mean we can READ IT OURSELVES , if the teacher bothers explaining , there would be a point right? But they dont!

So i stopped doing HW and project altogether which of course the teacher took it as an insult or offence w/e.
Then comes weekly tests which i get 90% or higher, then the teacher thinks i have been cheating. So i replied
"if you think us sitting here writting down what you copied off the text book will be anything different than us reading it ourselves , i guess you arnt doing your job"
so the angry teacher made me sit next to her desk during the final exam , which i got 87% . Now here is the problem , according to the school , obviously the exam
isnt enough to cover the rest of the HW or projects im missing. So i took the matter to the principal , pointing out HW and projects obviously is for practicing what we learned.
While exams are proof of what we really know? I also brought up the issue i have with the teacher others have same complaints too but never bothered expressing it.

Bad end >.> after that

i was on the bus today and this girl kept saying i smelled
it got annoying
i really hate that girl, she is such a b****
only one other person said that
noone else said anyting not even the person next to me
maybe i did smell but it was a 100 degrees out and im a husky person
but jokes on her i think she missed her bus home

Maybe you actually DO smell. Did you consider that? A lot of people do ignore bad smells so as not to offend people.

Killkrazy locked the Dakka Queen thread, that makes me sad, bad day man...

As long as you're washing each day, wearing clean clothes and using spray or something, then just sweating in the sun or due to exercise can't be helped and doesn't smell really. On the other hand I've been in flgs and gws and the stench of the unwashed (and there is a particular and disgusting smell i am referring to) is fething intolerable.

Sometimes the smell of others unexpectedly attaches itself to you. You can go into a smoker's house for less than a minute and smell like an ashtray for hours. I have inlaws that smoke and I have to change clothes after going over there.

ahh, i dont know she has always been a b**** to me
ever since i sat on her phone accidently

I just found out that I cannot be hired full-time at my current employer. Following their Neptism regulations I cannot be hired fulltime if I have a relative employed by the company.

I am currently working part-time with no benefits. I was lined up for a position with higher pay and benefits (2 managers were willing to give me a good reference). This really sucks because the position is meant to be a stepping stone to different areas within the company.

I will now more than likely have to leave to find a position with higher pay. This will be super-cool with a crap economy. There are some internships available at local companies so I will be checking these out tommorrow.

well, i'm kinda tired of resetting mouse traps today.
i mean, my grandparents don't like the things to be indoors, so i'll eliminate the cute little pests, but i'm to the point of giving the trap a kill count, while using the same bait, in the same spot, sometimes only a few minutes after a reset.

that, and i still haven't heard back about a job
