Personally, I'd love to see the US adopt the metric system. It's a superior system, so why not use it? Switching to the metric system has no downside whatsoever other than the population that grew up learning the American system needing to spend a few days relearning some commonly used numbers such as speed limits and the like. Definitely. I just wouldn't consider it something to get "pissed off about" per se. |

Under normal circumstances it wouldn't be.
As a pharmatech student, however, it frustrates me to no end. Especially where I live in a country that has formally adopted the Metric system, and we have to deal with Empirical on a near-daily basis because someone doesn't want to join the party.

Context definitely helps that to make more sense. I could see how that would piss someone off.

Night of the UFC fight/day before the Super Bowl, me, my friend Ronnie, and another friend Posters stay at the trailer of my other friend Miguel while he goes out to a party and clubs with this girl Jackie, and his two friends Garfield and Gray, two brothers.
After I night of watching funny ass videos mashin’ on SSF4, Tekken, and Smash Bros Brawl (basically the best night eva), they come back drunk as hell. Miguel acting like he's got alcohol poisoning almost asking for water and then refusing to drink tap water.
All the while Gray and this girl Jackie are on the couch. And just start makin’ out like hella, hella loud. Annoyingly loud. She's drunk as hell to. He carries her to Miguel’s room to use his other bed and because he's already in bed there.
Miguel kicks them out and Posters helps her walk to the living room because she looks like she can't walk. Gray is helped by his brother Garfield out. As soon as Posters gets Jackie to the couch she falls asleep and we here a loud as bang come from the front door. Garfield and Gray are fighting.
It's over this girl. Gray’s a virgin and feels that Garfield is peenblocking him and crap. He quits their band, yells out “Come at Me Bro”. Garfield gets punched in the face, chest and hand, makes fun of Gray’s using steroids, and defends himself with a pogo stick.
They both start yellin at each other about how the other one's just a stupid druggie freak and that their philosophies are all just bullshit to get girls Garfield keeps calling himself the bigger man but is unwilling to drop the issue and keeps going outside and instigating more violence. Posters whose a street fighter is trying to separate him, Miguel who got woken up goes to try to shut them up, because it's late as hell and people are sleepin’. He's been threatened to be kicked out before for being too loud.
Either way, they fight some more. And finally Miguel makes them promise that Gray will go home while Garfield will take Jackie home. Gray says FU your not taking my car breaks Garfield’s glasses. Garfield winds up walking with Miguel to their house to get his car, and Gray takes off walking after Posters walks back in. Later, Garfield comes back saying he can't take her because his brakes are shot, and we ask where’s Miguel, he says he doesn't know. We yell at him about how he lost a really intoxicated Miguel, whose collapsed before because of alcohol. Finally we find out that him and Gray met up and went to get bottled water. Me, Ronnie, and Posters the only sober ones at this point are fed up and just stay up all night playing Tekken and watching anime.
It'd be more bearable if Gray and Garfield were cool but they're not. They're assholes who claim everyone is a moron with no taste in music if they don’t like the same bands they do, that girls are stuck up if they don't wanna f* them. And they keep us up all the time with extremely retarded philosophy psychobabble. Plus, they're druggies who look down on people who don’t do drugs and I wouldn't be surprised if the ODed. I remembered that night why I stopped going over to my friends place.
Also, sad note at the end of things they don’t blame themselves or even the alcohol, they blame the girl for this. And claim it’s better to just not invite chicks. Wow, sexism to all new levels.

I had to beg for spare change to get on the MAX light-rail into Beaverton, to get to a job fair that I only heard about four hours before they were due to close for the evening, and said job fair was literally just me and five others in a conference room listening to an old lady go on about what the company does. What a waste of $2.05.

I've been reading Acts of Gord, and while I find it hilarious, it kind of pisses me off just thinking about how there are actually people that mind-bogglingly stupid out there. It's really sad to think about. |

Finding employment related to what I went to school for. How do I get experience if no one will hire me? Gah.
Even when I feel like my series of interviews at one place has been going well, it's taking so long that I feel like I'd be better off going to college to 'further' my education and get a co-op.
I'm about to take a job working as a server at a sports bar and grill of some sort. I need to pay for food and shelter and such.

When I read your complaint, the first thing I thought of was that you were James Bond, or some kind of spy.
"Fucking Blofeld sent more ninjas at me today. One of them cut off my tie with a knife! I made sure to push him into a grinder afterwards but still, how will I get into M's dinner party now?"
seriously though, what the hell, someone threw a knife at you? (or people threw knives at you?) I can think of very few situations where that is socially acceptable.
