violence = ok, laziness = really bad.

Meh it's sad that world functions this way...
However one day I believe technology and prosperity will allow us to be the other way around...
(Damn I sound like a politician)

Well, I don't believe technology and prosperity help alone, there must be done great social advances to reach even some sort of Utopia and even then it won't last. There will most likely be ups and downs. Also human mind is far from ready to be content. We're still too primitive to actually settle down and there're many who have a need of adrenaline rush and one way to get it violence. And too content makes people unwary, which might also cause extinction of humankind. Therefore some little danger in our lives is actually a good thing. Of course in the future we may have much more sophisticated ways to satisfy the need of adrenaline, but I frankly quite don't believe in it.

Bah this topic is about the unfairness of life, not "it's all going really well" posts.

[Tulac]

Actually I kind of think this topic as a general chat topic were you speak your mind, what has hapened to you... And stuff...

[DeathDude]

Besides the odd post about things going well can help brighten up the topic.

If we wanted a 'my day's fantastic' topic, why don't we make one?

Like, "my days's great and here's why".

[Puffin]

Well, the subtitle is "how 'bout yours?"
so this should be open for good days too, in my opinion

[Abi79]

Two Fs ? You poor little Tulac. I feel sad for you. I had today two tests. At the Romanian language I think I'm 'gonna get an A- or a B, but at the other test (biology) I think I'll get a F or a C.

Sorry, I just had to... my week has been getting progressively suckier, and I needed to let off a little steam before I explode

Today, my boss handed me a pile of documents to copy, with bits clipped together with paperclips to indicate which pages I was supposed to copy.

There is an art to copying in a law office... you must unstaple stapled documents, methodically pile them, unclip the clipped bits, copy them, reclip them, move the copies and the originals to correct piles.

Sounds exciting, huh? Well, if you do it correctly, you end up with correct copies, and leave the originals exactly how you received them, for verification purposes. Yay.

Well, I started the glorious task, and my boss came in, and proceeded to unclip and sift through all the documents he had just handed me, unsorting all my piles and getting them mixed up so he could fish out one document to read over. He then told me I could "proceed."

After about 15 minutes of helpless perusal, I had reassembled the documents into some semblance of order, and attempted to correctly copy the remaining documents. I was almost done, when the supervising assistant came in, with the statement, "I've been sent to help you copy."

Now, as complex as it may have sounded to sort and staple and organize piles of documents, it's really not. Declaring that I might need help with copying went over about as well as if she had said, "You might be suffering from a lobotomy."

But I kept it to myself, and simply said I was almost finished (1 page left), and that due to the rummaging, I was unsure that I had copied the resultant mess correctly (it's better to be honest about mistakes than deny them).

Final straw:

I returned to my desk to complete the task I had been working on before any of this happened, and through my boss's open door, I heard him shouting, "What the hell is this? What am I supposed to give the clients? What the **** did she do here?"

Sigh.

Just so you know, I submitted a resume to a potential employer that I've heard is a much nicer environment. Wish me luck.
