Things That Annoy You

[HorrorRetro]

That sucks. I blame the stupid names they give job titles these days to make them sound fancy and more important than they are.

My garbage man now is called a waste management specialist.

The kids that pick up the trash along the highways here are called "Ecology Youth."  :  The state sets up signs up and down the highways alerting us to the fact that "Ecology Youth" will be working.

Wow. Bieb is going down hard.  He'll be an unknown in ten years.

Hey, that's harsh.  He had some sweet moves back in the day.


LEIF GARRET, I WAS MADE FOR DANCING.

[jazmunda]

he'll be partying with leif garrett.

Ha.

Haven't heard that name in a long time. It was no surprise to see the first photo in google images was of him in prison gear. Can only hope that when I stumble on the Beibs name on a forum in 30 years the first image I see of him is in the same gear. Not to mention looking like a meth head who'd suck dick for a dime.

Was watching some movie where Russians were hiding from aliens inside a faraday cage, but they had radios that were functioning inside the cage. What kind of horse shit is that?!

When Petco posts an opening for a "senior aquatics public relations representative" and after jumping through a bunch of hoops, I realize they're looking for a part-time sales person to work in the aquarium department in the store down the street.

"Hey, what're you doing with your $100K PR/journalism degree and your 10+ years of award-winning experience?" "Living with my parents and selling beta fish at Petco. Want one?"

Annoying. I thought it was going to be an exotic job that required the wearing of fins and tossing around the word "marine."

Job hunting is starting to feel like speed-dating.

Several years ago, I applied for an advertised, part time job at PetSmart. I figured it would be fun and the little paycheck, combined with the employee discount, would cover my dog and cat food for the month. Cool.

They had me take one of those personality tests with stupid questions like 'if you saw a friend shop lifting in the store, would you...followed by multiple choice answers. Pretty sure I passed that part. And the math part. In fact, I am sure I passed, because they later informed me that my tests indicated I was overqualified for the job and would not be satisfied working there. Really?

I understand the use of testing to weed out certain applicants. I understand they do not want to spend money training someone, only to have them quit after month or two. But my references and employment history were impeccable and also verified that I do not flake out on a job after a few months. I have worked in customer service since I was 15. One of my references was a vet clinic. Not to toot my own horn, but I would have been an ideal employee for that company. It was obvious the stupid test was the only qualification used in the hiring process. Corporations....smh. The sad thing is I was really excited about working there.

I am also annoyed that job hunting now involves submitting a lot of online applications. You ask to speak with a manager and they tell you to file an online application. Blah.

Ferrari would go out of business without selling the garb. Most of their money comes from it. Surprised me when I heard that.

Crappy 1 ply restroom toilet paper. Even worse is the variety that dispenses 1 sheet at a time. They usually feel like they're 1/2 a ply.

Ferrari ...

Most likely they have an engineering team that make cars that can do stuff better than others within spec. It takes some spending money to buy one and maintain it properly though. The garb I could care less about. The closest probably I've driven was a Lotus and BMW and that was a close match. I built an early 60's Beetle powertrain though that could leave any stock 60's muscle car in the dust in 1/8 mile, got > 20% better MPG on highway trips if I wanted, and the only thing that could blow my doors off in < 30 feet was an obviously built 911 + good driver. Fun on way to work was rare, never got ticket, car died w/marriage, and now I think OBD2 is much better stock. Gosh, has the quality of metals used gotten better and somehow I ended back up in the winter road salt rustbelt.

It was either crappy or shitty.

Ferrari have a panache that few other manufacturers can get close to. It doesn't mean they'r necessarily good or pretty: Ferrari haven't made many pretty cars. They've made blisteringly fast cars that can ripple tarmac, but few are pretty. You're right, it isn't just the initial purchase, it's the keeping them in good order. The build quality isn't the best either (Typically Italian). Because their turnover isn't high and their profit margin not so great they depend on the merchandise; They also of course have a very expensive Formula one team to support.

Re: Ferrari merch

I would think the majority of the merch would be F1 as opposed to merch sold based on the road car.

Yeah, I think you're right Jaz. Although we have a little memorabilia shop in a local shopping mall that sells a shed load has for sale, 'official' Ferrari stuff, including their old cars in 1/18 scale, hats, photos etc.

Mmmmmm, you haven't seen Manchester Utd fans* on holiday have you?  :

Ferrari have a panache ...

Panache was an interesting word not found in my American dictionary. I think that I get the idea of the meaning probably related to a different language entirely. Outside beauty means little to me except in production details included in something I paid to see on stage based on something entirely different for the cash payment I made to attend. Although my mind may change in future, I doubt anything at Carnegie Hall would attract me now just because it's in Manhatten (and I'm only 100 miles away). Build quality is sort of meaningless of an owner w/full mfg published service instructions. If a part fails, most likely it's an engineering problem than build quality. I look more at the engineering skills of the cars I own than builders efforts in pro racing circuit.

As with any Pete Carroll coached team (see USC Trojans), watch for late hits, unnecessary roughness, and plenty of pass interference from the Seahawks.  Good ol' Pete coaches them to do it and is willing to take a few penalties, knowing most of it is not going to be called.   Especially late in a close game.

Two things: leaving my alarm on on a Friday night so I'm up at 5 instead of sleeping in, and not being able to remember the dream I was having when I woke up, except for bits and pieces. Why, mind, why?
