That doesn't make sense to me. If you are getting up at 3 am, and have to go to school at ~8am after getting about ~10-11 hours of sleep, you should be fine.


I have to get some sleep between before school (that is between 4 and 7) or I'll just feel like shit all day. I don't know why this happens but it's been this way for about six, seven months now.

I did that during our defense, and the panel still noticed it. Sheesh. It's the end of the world. :(

Bottom line is I am required to chop off my hair. That's a minus factor to that constipated look on the picture thread.

It was making it hard to go to appointments and such during the day, if friends showed up at my house I was usually fucked cause I was sleeping all night. What I did was just not sleep one day... I woke up at midnight as usual, stayed awake until like 10:30pm the next night, fell asleep, woke up at 8am and have just done the same every night.

There's been a couple of nights where I've gone out and been up until 3 or 4am, but I just sleep until 9 or 10 at the latest, you're tired all day but I'd rather do that and keep sleeping normal times than get 8 hours and wake up sometime in the afternoon, thus screwing up the pattern again [/Ullillia]


You just summed up my life story.

Pdub, I might try that. Changing places to sleep sounds like a good idea. I'm trying everything to get my sleeping time back on track, so any ideas are welcomed. I need to solve this soon.. high school and every important thing that is on the way should not be wasted because of a sleeping disorder . I do miss school a lot because of it and I don't wanna do that in high school. Sometimes I'm so tired I can't even walk thats how fucked I am at the moment.

Stupid people piss me off. Those who lack reading comprehension do equally. People who think they are smart when they clearly aren't also. Random thoughts.

So it looks like I won't be taking over temporarily for the main receiver, according to my schedule. They are bringing in a receiver from another store, and our receiver's last day is Monday. I was really looking forward to four months of receiving. I've even been told I am better then the main receiver because I don't ask other people to do my work, which is something I heard she does whether she was pregnant or not. Hell, I had every single thing done today with more then an hour to spare, so I had to ask the manager whether he wanted me to leave early or find me a task, which he did, and I STILL finished before my shift was over.

I can understand the decision to bring in a receiver who has more experience(and most of my lack of experience is because of the lack of teaching that I received from the main reciever - "Here, watch while I do it"), but I wasn't even told that I would only continue as the backup. At least the manager told me I did a good job today. I swear that's probably the first or second time I've heard that. This makes me want to quit because taking over was my main motivation for still working here.

I was talking to some of the soda vendors a couple weeks ago. They make more money starting out! Some of them are on a good salary, and they get commission from the sales. Adding up the figures I was told made my wallet hungry. I was even told that they would hire me "in a snap" because I work here. This is the beginning of the end.

I swear to God this place gets dumber by the month. Am I being paranoid or are there just an abundance of idiots posting all over the place now? If people weren't such bleeding heart pussies about bannings I'd get rid of everyone who was remotely stupid. We wouldn't have as many people posting but as long as the posts aren't of the heroically retarded variety I can't say I'd mind.

Jae, you are on the money. Why the fuck are these people reporting normal posts? What the hell are they thinking when they click that little exclamation mark?

What exclamation point?

[size=0]joke, of course I know what it is.[/size]

Just got back from school and it is absolutely annoying when these fucking dimwits in our school hallway are so slow, I was almost late that time for class but I wouldn't matter much anyway still dumbasses. And if I try to shove them away they will be as if they own the halls.

Maybe they click on the exclamation mark by mistake? I know, I did it once while rushing to reply to a post. I suppose if its done once it could be alright, since its a learning factor or something. It should be dealt with if its done the second or third time with no solid argument. Thats just being abusive.

I got nothing to complain about at the moment. Got a week off from school . (Y)

Out of curiosity maybe?
You have to admit that it's pretty intriguing to see an exclamation point and not knowing what it does (until I remembered about that 'post report' thingie being announced in a thread).

Just a warning in advance to the mods.
I will now click the exclamation point just for kicks.
Seriously. I want to see what happens when I click it.
I will click the one in Jugs' post.

EDIT: So that was it. Personally, I'm a bit disappointed (like the Patriots and their fans), maybe my expectations of clicking it were high.
I'm guessing some sort of PM reminder was sent to the mods. Sorry for the inconvenience though.

EDIT AGAIN: Holy crap. I can remove my report by clicking on the exclamation point again. The red X in the exclamation point, which was placed when I reported it, is now removed.
Kewl.
A PM might have been sent to the mods notifying the removal.
I apologize again for any inconvenience and for my curiosity for such a thing.

The commentators that covered the Mavs-Griz game, damn they're horrible. (FSN-Grizzlies Basketball)

Windows Vista sucks.
As if Microsoft designed that OS for retards. It's good that Microsoft is concerned about the mentally-challenged person and Vista is aesthetically pleasing but it still doesn't change the fact that Vista lowers your IQ down a few notch as it makes you feel retarded when you use it because the OS assumes you're a retard who just has a computer for the first time and can't properly make your own decisions.

^The best thing about Vista is that, since Microsoft knew they're competitors (all Linux distros, OS X and other UNIX-based OS's) are so much better security-wise, instead of actually making the OS more secure, they installed a security system that's annoying and hilarious at the same time.

Like, for example, every time you connect some random device to your PC, this is what happens: a warning message that reads something like "PHOTO CAMERA 1288983 is trying to connect to your computer. This device could harm you computer. Do you want to continue?" appears on the screen.

After you click YES, there's another message: "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?". You click YES for the second time and yet another message appears: "ARE YOU!?!".

Frustrated, you click YES once again, and an error message appears on the screen: "WINDOWS could not connect to PHOTO CAMERA 1288983 because it contains suspicious files that could harm your computer".

Okay, maybe it's a little exaggerated, but it's true to some extent.
