I totally get being pissed off about that, especially in that he panicked and felt he was taking control of the situation. Fact is, no matter how old you get you're still his little girl (just all children are to their parents) and he probably wanted to take control of the situation because that's the only way he feels comfortable.
I dunno. I have crazy shit arguments with my dad over whether it's OK to park in a certain spot or not. And we had to have the discussion that it's just not good to talk politics in front of each other no matter what. He's a stubborn, racist conservative, but he's my dad. Not trying to downplay your ire or anything. By all means, I would be seething too. Fuck doing a lot of work for free because it's "for exposure." |

I think it's also more of him having trouble not being the person driving. You should see him any time he is in the passenger seat... he cringes at the slightest things. Literally, cringes. But it is a far cry from cringing when you break the cardinal rule of "don't grab the steering wheel when someone else is driving".
And yes, "exposure" work sucks. |

Oh jeez... we're stuck out here in the desert. Fuck that we're probably going to get hit for a new transmission.
What's more, fuck that we're not entirely sure how we're going to pay for this. |

Gross. Yeah, from what I can see, you guys are getting hit worse than we are closer to the coast this time around. Here its staying above 0 at least. 6 degrees tonight, 12 all day tomorrow, and then 7 tomorrow night. Makes me want to punch babies. Please tell me you don't have to go out in this so much.
(and up your's, far northerners. Y'all are better prepared for this. ) |

Work today (the roads seemed okay when I was out earlier for my chiropractor appointment), taking Ben's car to the shop tomorrow for new brakes (provided that it starts)... so yeah... no choice but to go out in it.
This is why I have wool and thermals. Fuck you wannabe redneck guy at work yesterday. Your unapologetic racism is not respected and if I could have walked away from the kiosk and refused to serve you, I would have. |

Fuck you, employers in the Rogue Valley. You lure me in with your "help wanted" sign, you say that you're desperately seeking help, and when I walk my happy ass back over the next day to check on my application, you say that all of the positions are filled already. Seriously, go fuck yourselves. This has happened 7 times in the past week. | |||

Another round of "Fuck winter"
Ben's car needs new brakes. Badly. But his car and the cold really don't get along... so for the last week, his car will not stop and even our portable jumper will do no good to get it started. It has been below freezing every fucking day this week. It was supposed to be in the 40s today, but nope... high of 29. They say it will finally warm up tomorrow... we will see. This is such bullshit. |

The NAMM show is going on right now. It's a tradeshow exhibiting all the latest music gear, be it instruments, sound equipment, etc. It's closed to the public except for press, NAMM members, and their guests.
It's reached the point where loads of famous people attend to check out the latest wares or are invited to be seen there as part of their endorsement deals with some of the manufacturers. It's a big deal to get to go now. My boyfriend, Brandon, is a sound engineer with a degree who works as an audio tech at a city auditorium and plays lead guitar in a metal band. He is not considered qualified to attend. It's essentially just people who sell or manufacture the goods. A seedy pawn shop owner or the person who checks bags at Guitar Center can get a badge because they work for some place that buys and sells instruments, etc. Brandon has gotten to go in the past after standing outside, asking people for their badges and getting one. He just wants to see the equipment. I mean, his last birthday we went over to Sunset Blvd to the part with the factory stores for Carvin, Mesa-Boogie, Sam Ash, Guitar Center, and so on, just so he could try out amps. Why I'm pissed, though, is the high number of people among my Facebook friends who are getting to go this year who DON'T belong there and are getting unforgivably shitty about how they're there and YOU'RE NOT LOL!!! OH, HEY, STEVIE WONDER JUST WALKED BY. SO LONG CHUMPS ROFLMAO!!1! And I'm not mad about the people I know in bands who probably know someone who got them in. They've been quite gracious, just posting the occasional picture. No. I'm talking about people who don't even play instruments, don't work in the industry in any sense. People who somehow know someone who got them in and are now just bragging about it all over Facebook as though they're at Comic-Con crossed with E3 crossed with some super-secret, high-end brothel party house. I'm telling you... UNFORGIVABLY shitty. I'm just seething on Brandon's behalf. Grrr... (Last edited by Rogue on 01-24-14 08:08 PM) |

My hard drive crashed. I wanted a new laptop, but not like this. Now I am waiting on pins and needles to find out if the stuff that I never got a chance to backup is accessible or if I will literally lose everything that I have done in the last year or so.

Since Brandon was at work and Dad was at a baseball game, Mom and I went out for Chinese.
The booth next to ours had a group of senior citizens, among them a young woman with her loud daughter in a high chair. While my mom and I tried to have a quiet conversation, that other table was just so damn loud and I get easily distracted. Anyway, everyone yells at the kid for one reason or another. The old men actually say some rather misogynistic things at her, like, "You talk too much. Girls shouldn't be speaking unless addressed. Shut the hell up!" The mother didn't correct this. On top of this, they all occasionally said some pretty fucking racist bullshit. For instance, the mother was going on about not trusting the "chink" bathroom if she had to wash her daughter's spoon they brought for her. My mom and I just ended up sitting there in silence because we just couldn't compete and the rest of the room was entirely devoid of sound. Fuck that shit.

Wow... just wow.
So... trying to organize a small little family dinner for after the wedding next month and my mother cannot get it through her head that it is a dinner for US and not a family reunion for my side of the family. She's also suggesting places like Hof's Hut... which is a place little old ladies love to go for dinner, not a place you take your family to after a wedding. And when I try to point this out to her, she gets bitchy and tries to guilt trip me with things like my dad's blood pressure rising. I told them from the start to let us plan it and they just pay for it... but no. They won't let it go. So, Fuck you, mom. Fuck you. |

Hope your mom comes to understand as the date approaches. And here's also hoping the snow melts and doesn't cause insane humidity.
Fuck feeling inadequate at not being able to land a paying job, and fuck that the one "thing" I've got is a non-paying geek news site that I labor to put the podcast out for, but then doesn't post them in a timely fashion. It's been a fucking month since the last one got posted, jackoffs. Fuck that crew on that Korean ferry for telling everyone to stay put and then abandoned ship, leaving all those people to die. Holy fuck, it's times like these I wish there was a hell so they'd be nailed to the floor of it while all manner of heinous shit happens to them. |

Fuck you Q1 2014. Fuck you.
Family is falling apart. Sister cannot get over the loser. Some family keep pestering me and don't realize I'm 26 or something. My job is horse shit. Anyday now the switch is going to flip. I could potentially walk out or have an outburst at any given moment. Fuck these dating sites. I'm lonely. Fuck online classes. Car is old and needs work. Wallet and savings are drying up. I don't think I've ever been so stressed in my life. |

Oh jeez. Sorry to hear about all that.
I just remembered another "fuck you" that's been stewing for a couple weeks now. FUCK Brandon's dad, Scott. The guy is fucking useless. When we've gone to stay with him in Ridgecrest it's been hell, and I usually end up packing up my bags midway through my stay and trying to talk Brandon into just taking us home early. The most recent trip for Christmas was the worst since our transmission blew and he said he wouldn't take us down to Victorville to meet with Lee, who was arranging to have our car towed home, unless we gave him $60 or so. The man just smokes his pot, locks himself in his room, doesn't keep reasonable hours for meals (so we end up starving, most especially this time we couldn't just go out and pick something up ourselves, but usually it's that he wants to cook but just won't get around to it), and he's just a fucking asshole who blames everyone else for everything all the time. Anyway, Sara's wedding happened. He'd already voiced he wasn't going unless everyone else made way for him, paid for his way up there, provided him with a place to stay, fed him, etc. The fucker retired too early and blew all his money from the sale of his house in Long Beach, so he's living with his stepdad in Ridgecrest on his pension or whatever. Before the wedding he was acting like such a fucking victim about not going saying no one's making any effort for him to go to his only daughter's wedding. What's more he'd complain that she probably doesn't even want him there because he supposedly didn't get an invitation and she hasn't called him since June. He's the fucking ADULT here. You'd think if he felt estranged he'd reach out and try to get in touch with her at least. So anyway we (Brandon, his mom [Linda], and I) drive up to Washington, and Linda mentions that she had offered Scott money to come up and told us how different family members had offered funds or at least a place to stay, but he apparently refused. [[By the way, Linda paid for the whole wedding, by herself. She and Brandon's grandmother made the dresses, we did the decorating, catering, cleaning, and everything else (fuck Mike's family for not helping with anything and just showing up to eat when there was food before promptly leaving. There was so much bullshit because of them and the bridesmaids who all didn't want to do anything when asked). Also, we found out from Sara and Mike that lots of invitations came back return to sender and other said they never received them, so it's entirely possible this is what happened to Scott's invite since Linda and Sara have said he was definitely invited. Matter of fact, Scott did mention he got the cheap "save the date" magnet they sent initially before sending out the formal ones.]] So at hearing that several people offered assistance but he was still refusing to come, I got furious and just yelled, "Then fuck him! Everyone else is trying to get him here for his daughter's wedding and he's not even trying. Fuck him." At the wedding a week later, we hear from Brandon's Aunt Jennifer (Scott's sister) that Scott told their brother, Nick, that we (Brandon, Linda, and I) were supposed to come to Ridgecrest (more than a couple hours out of our way) and pick him up so he'd drive up with us. Essentially he's saying it's OUR fault he didn't get to go. Motherfucker. And this shit is going around the family. We made no such deal, and I fucking HATE when people play this bullshit. You have no idea how much I despise drama queens. So we continue to go about the wedding without dwelling on it, but at least, Jennifer thought it was bullshit. Her own daughter is having a location wedding in the fall that we're invited to, and Scott's been making a big deal about going because it'll be a kickass beach party. The fucker is more jazzed about going to his niece's wedding than his DAUGHTER'S. Jennifer was pissed and is saying she's thinking about uninviting him. Getting back down to SoCal, eventually Brandon finally accepted a call from Scott. Upon answering, Scott started out yelling at Bran saying it was bullshit that we didn't take him up with us, and that he could have made plans to meet us in Bakersfield, where he could have parked his truck at a friend's or something. How could we have known to do that? He's already bitching that he can't afford to do anything, why would we be so rude as to assume that he'd have the resources to drive over the Sierras to meet us? "Well I guess no one thinks of me. UGH..." Jesus, fuck this prick. I've flat-out told Brandon I'm not going to Ridgecrest any more. I'm so fucking pissed. I hate to use the phrase, "We got thrown under the bus," because I've always thought it such a ridiculous saying, but goddamn it, he really did it here. Lying about me or my loved ones is a huge no-no with me, asshole. (Last edited by Rogue on 04-24-14 11:06 AM) |

Dude, seriously? You guys do not deserve that. At all. What a fucking prick!
Another round of Fuck you, mom! We sorta won the battle on the where and not having a cake... but apparently we have no control over the guest list. After I said no, she is flying her sister out from Missouri and her brother down from San Francisco for the dinner and whole week. This after bitching about the cost of the place we wanted. What annoys me more is that my uncle's daughter was going to come down to the bonfire that weekend. She and her dad haven't spoken in... oh... thirty years (not sure on all the details, but it's not pretty from what I gather)... and I just had to give her the heads up. Luckily she hadn't booked a hotel yet. I haven't seen my cousin since I was in grade school and I was looking forward to it. Fuck. |

I'd be just as irritated were I in your shoes. Trying to figure out her reasoning, it's probably out of pride that she wants to share this event with as many as possible. Parents tend to do that, especially out of worry that if they don't invite family members it'll offend them and therefore make them look bad. But yes, treating weddings like a family reunion is typical.
Linda was something of a Momzilla (out of love, of course, she wanted things perfect, which equated to how she preferred them). We kept having to urge Sara that it was her wedding and she should have things how she liked. Granted Sara's a 20-year-old high school drop-out who got pregnant at 17 and every major decision in her life was made for her by her guardians or the men in her life, so everything in the wedding relied on how cheap everything came or services provided for free by our side of the family. At least you have more gravitas, Elara. You shouldn't have to sacrifice your location choice because a few more relatives are coming. To put more perspective on the situation with the driving up without Scott, we were originally going to drive up with Brandon's grandmother as well. However, she was so worn out from the drive from Phoenix to SoCal, Michelle (Linda's sister) bought Mary a plane ticket to fly up with them when they went. This was decided in the middle of the night before Linda came to pick us up. Scott's saying that the moment we found out Mary was out, we should have immediately formulated plans to get him, so he's upset we didn't think of him. Let me repeat that. It was the middle of the night. We were leaving in a few hours and would have passed Bakersfield, where he says he could have rendezvoused. He was already seemingly determined not to go, already going on about how he was more excited to go to Melinda's wedding in September. Did he really expect us to be so rude as to wake him up and assume he would have the gas money to drive to our route? Seriously, I hope Jennifer uninvites him. I really don't want to see him, at least not for quite some time. This is the kind of shit my dad's dad used to pull. He'd suddenly get into his head that he wanted to fuck over my dad and would write letters to the rest of the family (out of the fucking blue, mind) that my dad was wasting money (which is such a joke since Dad's an ultra-conservative tightwad of the highest order) and other ridiculous things. |
