Bad day thread number 401221...

[Dukat]

Oh god.

Why oh friggin' why did I get up this morning?

Yes, i know my day will probably not seem that bad to some, but for me, it was a disaster, i need to rant about it before I explode in a frustrated fit of swearing and wall headbutting.

It was meant to be the first day back at college, so I knew today was going to be a pain, but ah well, i get up early for college, go through all the usuall bull that can go wrong in the mornings - shaver low on batterys, hair sticking up, spilling tea, stepping in puddles and almost being late, forgetting my phone, chavs on the bus being annoying, etc.

All of that is normal, however, I get in to college, wait around of my mates to arrive, wait, wait, wait.... and what do you know, its 5 minutes past the beginning of the first lesson, and my teacher isnt there, my classmates are not there, and im left wondering if indeed college did start today.

I go to the staff room, collar a teacher and find out that infact college hasnt started today, oh no, it started yesterday, and then i get a grilling for missing the first day back, but it gets better, today is my DAY OFF so no one is in, and neither is my course director. the teachers cant be arsed to help me anymore, they kick me out of the room without letting me either use the staffroom phone to arrange transport home or get the new timetable.

so im sitting outside the now locked staff room wondering how it can get worse. the next bus home is the end of the day, so im stuck in college with nothing to do, so i decide to get the train home, cost be damned, im not sitting that crapheap of a college any longer than i have to!

I miss the first train back home by mere seconds, the next is an hours wait, i pay the hefty fee for a ride, then phone home on a similarly expensive payphone and arrange a lift for when i get off the train.

I'm a complete train-newb, I've taken probably 4 train rides in my entire life, one of which was when i was 5, so I'm kinda anxious anyway, but hey, what can go wrong?

so I get on the train, hoping that its the right bloody one, everyone who gets on asks me if the same question, so im left worrying if im even going the right way. it turns out its the right train, we get to my stop, as I say im a complete train noob, i wait for the doors to open, realise you need to press a button to open the bastards, but by then the train had started moving again. FUCK!!!

I sit back down, feeling like rimmer from red dwarf. it seems like the world hates me, and I begin planning to sort this mess out, as I mentioned, I forgot my phone in the morning, so I cant let the people who are coming to pick me up know whats going on, but the next stop is not far from the last one, so I dont panic, much. I keep expecting the ticket collector to come up and ask me why my ticket was to the last station, yet i am still on the train, I know i can handle it - just throw more cash at the collector and explain, but its still just one more worry.

we get to the next station and I was out of my seat instantly and hammering on the 'open door' button like a man possessed, I get out, breathe free air, and then get to the nearest pay phone to re-arrange the lift.

I'm still feeling like a prize bloody pratt about the train incident, angry at college for telling me the wrong day for college, and just generally wondering what else is going to happen before the day is out.

Seeing as Ez isnt' around ..



Awww have some

Remind me of a very bad day i had about a year ago.


I had just started a new job so i was still in training.
I woke up late that day so it was a major dash to the train station ( whyd o both bad days have trains in them ... hmmm) anyway i pop to the cash machine to get out some money as it's my first payday. However due to the Cash machine being sadistic , it swollows my card then goes out of server. I reach for my phone and realise i'd left it at home. I speak with someone in the trainstation and they tell me they Cash machine is going to be replaced at the end of the week as my card is the 6th card in 4 days to be swollowed. So having no money , and no phone , i have to run back home , grab my phone , borrow money and barrel back to the trainstation. as i get there the guy who i had been talking to hands me my Card and says the machine had spat it out ( now that is about as good as this day gets).

So i ring work , explaine that i got held up due to a machine revolution and i'll be in ASAP. Now i'm finally on the patform waiting for the train. I hope on the train ( it's about a 1 hour 10 min train to work usualy) , we get about 1/4 way there and the train stops in a station for a very long time. About 10 mins later a announcement comes on saying some truck had hit a bridge , so the train had been canceled ( this happens about once every 3 months in Dublin). So i have to get a bus and the bus takes 1 hour 40 mins from where i got on.

Ok i'm in work finally ( ok annoying skum bags on the bus and little skanger girls on the hop from sk00l aside it was ok) , get in and find out that we are doing a customer care course that day ( something i was meant to skip as i've done it about 9 times in total in diff jobs). but no i have to do it.

A girl i've been seeing gives me a text saying that it's over blah blah blah...
But they way the text was sounding made it sound like it was someone messing with her phone. we had arranged to meet that night. So i sent a text back saying who is this and what have they done with the girl. these texts go on the rest of the day as they wouldnt' go into anything that proved it was her.

So work ends , i dash for the pub where i'm due to meet the girl ( now i'm now convinced that her phone has been stolen) i get to the pub and she never shows. As i'm heading home i pass the pub where she works so i pop in , I See here running for the back room. He m8 tells me that she had text me saying it was over. So all the texts had been from her m8 as she was to upset to text ( even though none of the texts eluded to this).

I get home , grumpy as hell , chow down on a big greasy burger and large chips, decided f00k it i'm going out for a few pints with my bro's. Go to a bank machine in the local shop to find out that my job had paied me but he bank had gotten my money lost :/


Still i remember 1 thing about that day ... it was a friday. so the weekend could only get better from there =)

I saw this coming thats why I said:

Yes, i know my day will probably not seem that bad to some, but for me, it was a disaster

I know other people have had worse days, i have too, but that doesnt change the fact that to me, it was a bad day.

yes, it turns out that its not been the worst day of my life, not by a long shot, but it was still bad for me.

I'm now going to have to face the snide remarks from my course director all day tomorow, and no amount of explaining that I was told - by him - that we were meant to go back on the 31st rather than the 30th will get him to see that it was an honest mix up, either by me or them.

The sheer fact that I went in on what was meant to be my 'day off' should convince anyone with even the most basic powers of reasoning that I did'nt know we went back monday. They have almost certainly already passed judgement on what they see as an obvious case of me skiving because I didnt want to go in.

The train thing just made it worse, I lack confidence in the most stupid places, yet in others I can be fine, for example, I've jumped out of an aeroplane before, and I can tell you I would much prefer to jump out of another one, rather than have to go through the train thing again - it just made me feel so stupid.

Dukat, is it college you say?

tell him to go eat a pigs bollock. its college not school, there is no compulsory to attend.

lol, reminds me of something funny in college when i was 16-17.

we went to the pub for dinner and got a little drunk. went back late, locked the tutor in the class room and went and sit in the cafe untill next lesson. playing daft games with the UHT milk. try doing them like tequila shots, only use sugar instead of salt. fuckin awful.

Aye, god know's I've been tempted, it may come to that tomorow, I'm angry because of this situation, this year I'm trying, but they just cant seem to be bothered to put an effort in.

The thing between me and my course director has been an ongoing thing over a period of years, it would take along time to explain, but basically because of my poor attendance/effort one year, he ended up trying (and almost succeeding) to get me to fail the course.

Since then he's had it in for me, its become a bit of a joke in the group, because its so obvious, even to them, what he's doing.

I can face the snide remarks, and at the end of the day if I want/need a day off I take it, but its definately something I can do without.

Taking the high road would be your best option.

Go to course director.

Say "Look, we seemed to have a mishap in communication, but whadda'ya gonna do. No real damage done since there's nothing -crucial- on the first day anyhow. Right?"

Bet things go right, if he's not a powermad tiiiiiiit.

Ranting and raving is all good and fun on forums, but in "real life" it gets you into more trouble, not the other way around.

Not too happy at hearing about your crap day(sorry, i like hearing other have bad ones too), but honestly i'm with Tris. I would've taken the "free day off" knowledge as "Yei! Free day off! Back home to play a bit more with [insert game or appendix here]"

turned out to be alot like this actually.

He is a bit of a tit (imo), and he made a few of his trade-marked snide comments when I first got in there, I just kept my head down and go through it, it turns out that I didn't infact miss anything on monday, while people were in, there were no lessons, so I had nothing to fuss over anyway

I did enjoy my day off, (after I'd had a bit of a rant), and I had a good laugh about it today with my mates, they think I've found the perfect money saving scheme - get on the train, get a ticket to the next station and get 'stuck' on the train untill kings cross, thereby saving money on the ticket

I've come close to having a 'clear the air' talk with my course director, but I'm in the last 3-4 months of college time now, I figure I may as well just stick at it and get it over with.

I have a good rant about it every now and again, but at the end of the day I guess when I join the forces I'll encounter alot more of these people I don't get on with and those who dont get on with me, and having to cope with these people and still get on with the job in hand is a skill that I will require.

 

[Ezteq]

thats the spirit hun,
tbh its your future here dont let some jumped up little hitler with a bug up his arse try and ruin in because at the end of the day its your whole life and itsa not worth chucking that in just so he might have a moments pause for reflectihe next time he wasnt to go rip the leg off a frog.

fuck him when your my age and earning more than him then you can go and give him the shits
