rant ..... bleh

[Clayton]

:sucks: :rockon: :bootyshak so today I called the la grand recruiting center, instead of getting a well dressed older man I got some kid just 2 years older than me in a t-shirt who spoke more profanity than normal English, I mean don’t get me wrong I cuss just as bad as the next but if you are representing a manger company you do not swear its just bad conduct.... :thefinger and these people are pushy not that I mined that but I want to gripe about it .. They think if they give you enough money that there is no longer a value on human life, ….. bitch and gripe and wth is with the army and not letting people in with psoriasis I have had this shit all my life, ya kids picked on me about it in school but It has not been a thing that has never held me back and now it is the only thing stopping me ……. Thanks to all who took the time to read my rant and to whom it may concern I will keep posting my interaction with the army on this thread .. if that’s ok :zzz narf

[Mae]

You piss and moan too much. Of course they don't VALUE human life. You aren't joining them because they are a humanitarian organization. You are joining them because you are a fucktard.

So one recruiter was old and non interested. Then one wasn't english enough for you. Now one cusses too much? Shut up and sign the damn papers Goldilocks. And another thing, you've had the damn number for the medical clinic and you only call the recruiter today? Damn. You johnny-on-the-spot man you. (Sarcasam) Have them send the records to the cusser and then fight to be let in.

Hey, thanks for listening to MY rant.

But really, good luck. Sorry you're getting shit on.

[Clayton]

I am a slacker I will be a slacker all my life.... but I will be a trained and skilled slacker :dunno:

[Clayton]

OK so back in the loving arms if sanity back when i was in molalla i filled you all the properer paperwork to join the army and signed my life away ... but now that i am in the frozen hell that la grand they do not have my papers and i get to spend a hole day filling out the same old stuff over and over :baby: :cry: but there is hope if i play my card right i get to go to the islands and work in the sand or was that go east and go pound with sand .... :dunno: oh and quiting smoking is a BITCH

[Mae]

Poor child. Paperwork sucks.

You know what doesn't suck? Spell check.

Open a word document and type your post in that before you cause my face to freeze in a wince. Wait, that might be an improvement. Nevermind.

[Clayton]

i em speshal eh org ugh :blah:

[mute]

What did you WANT to do, instead of maybe joining the army. Go work on oil wrigs, good pay and you don't sign your whole life to them. To extents.

[Mae]

He wanted to be a bananna slug but that has never worked out. He still does a damn good impression of one though. (You know from someone who didn't love you that may sound bitchy- Since that's how I meant it... go with what works for you)

PS how did the cake work out?

[Clayton]

:nana: ya baby

[Clayton]

well mute i do not want to do eny thing in life, well travel see the world fall in love all that stuff ... but i am joining this lovely military thingy cuz i am out of options, homeless living on the streets selling drugs to get food and high and no one likes me for it, sept for the junkies i couch surf between my moms and other drugys doing what i can to get bye, stealing to get from place to place and if i do not do something now i will fall in to that nitch and i will die this way at some gas monkey job on the toilet with .... well i do not want to think about it :eek: and the only reason i have access to a PC is cuz my aunt and uncle have no clue of all the shit i have done still think i am a good person and will do something with my life :offtopic: :wtf: ya no Passion no sole just a empty vessel drifting through space :)

[Clayton]

so now my big thing is psoriasis (say it with me kids so-ria-a-sis good ) and i have had it all my life and now is the only time that it has been a problem when i started out with a recruiter they had me go see a doctor and get it checked out the bad thing is when i went o get it checked out i also had scabies (itch) so when i had the Doctor sent me paper work on my check up they sent me paperwork saying i had a chronic disease and eczema like symptoms so now i have to go to a doctor out here and get a new diagnosis on the stuff ..... the ants go marching one by one

[Mae]

But the good news is that you are no longer an itch monkey.

You should look fairly cleared up, and they will be able to give you a clean bill of health. Aunt or Uncle should be able to take you to the doctor, right?

How did the paperwork turn out?

[Clayton]

paper work... well it did not turn out this dude i am working with is a slacker and will be fired in 2 weeks just you wait and see, it all starts monday :dunno:

[Escape Artist]

(all this is mostly in reference to the answer you supplied mute, clayton)

first - why don't you just get off the damned drugs? entirely? lose whatever friends you have that are associated with that sort of thing, clean up yer substance-based act, and you'll have eliminated what is arguably the biggest problem that ya got right now. no, it isn't easy, but like you said, it beats falling into that niche.

second - you screwed up in life? so what! can't change the past; can change the future and make amends for things you have done. i'm still lucky that i had just enough brains to never get caught for half the crap i got myself into. luckier that i knew when it was just time to stop fucking around and stuck to it.

third - the military, such as it is, just ain't easy at all. now, i don't intend to be overly mean about this, but...if you can't survive in the real world as it is, how are you gonna have the discipline to put up with that crap? seems to me like the second it got hard, and you knew you could just fail out, you'd be aiming for that goal.

fourth (and last, yay!) - guess what we all end up having to do? work shite jobs! one friend works at red lobster, formerly at mickey d's, another is at dollar tree, yet another was at cvs and walgreens, some sell cell phones, etc, etc. that's just friggin' life. bust your ass at these shite jobs and they won't stay too horribly shitty for long. fuck, man...you gotta pay your dues. be it sobering up, dealing with garbage for paychecks, or not buying that big-screen tv so you can afford your rent without debt. that's just how it is.

when's the last time you really tried, man?

[Mae]

Does 25 days ago sound about right?

[Clayton]

EA :stickpoke
1. Got off the drugs the hard ones anyway last year and quit the other ones about 3 months a go quit hanging out with the hard junkies 1 1/2 years a go and now hardly associate with stoners and alcoholics but it takes time to changer friends

2.i am I have been involved with the army for the past 5-6 months and have had to clear up some skin issues before I can continue with this program

3.and it is not that I can't survive in the real world I thrived in the real world working through temp agencies and at lame gas station jobs and doing odd illegal things on the side to make extra cash but no one approved of that's so I am changing my ways so I can associate with my family

4. And yes last one :) I do not want to be in some dead-end job I want a career that I will enjoy in life :woot:

if you think i can not handle the army you do not know the shit i have been through i can adapt to anything :icon_piss

o and sis its about 26
and EA thank you for your input

[Escape Artist]

well, then - fuck - cool. man!

figgered i'd play devil's advocate, reckon i got my high flying ass shot right the fuck down. :D

best of luck to ya, clayton.

[Clayton]

thanks man .. but it will be a bitch going through boot camp, drugs do a lot of damage to the body... i may be only 20 buy i feel 30 sometimes :lol:

[SimpleSimon]

I've pretty much stayed out of this, as I figured your sister was bashing you enough. I'm glad to see you have a goal, and a workable plan to reach that goal (getting into the Army). Stick with it - despite what others may tell you I know that you can attain goals if you doggedly persist in pushing toward them - I saw you do it as a very small boy and I've heard enough to know there have been other instances.

Be sure to continue to set yourself attainable goals in future - it is when you are at lose ends without direction that you get into bad habits and situations. If either Jed or I can help, you need simply to ask.

[Clayton]

thank you.

[Clayton]

:gayfight2 day whatever, waited all day for my uncle to show up with paper work today he was kind enough to go in to town and get it for me .. he did not show till after i missed the appointment with my recruiter and i will not be able to See my recruiter face to face till Thursday :beat: so ya get to sit here and :beat: till then WTF
bitch mone bitch mone...
its cold out here
the wind sucks
and the dust pan attacked me today (i think it wants to kill me)
i have far to much time on my hands

[Mae]

Make sure to thank him? For being so helpful and reliable?

And set a trap for the dustpan. Those buggers are nasty.

[Clayton]

KO people went in to day and had a chat with my recruteurs boss and he told me i do not have a skin isu and my job now is to go in to a doctor and have them agree with that, and i am in

[Clayton]

... Monday i go in for my physical, pic a job , then kick it till i get shipped out. that is all

[MuffyTheVampyreLayer]

I love my job. It's a thrill a minute. The other day I had to attend a hearing on behalf of the corporation for a review decision I only just heard about 40 mins before the hearing started...and the applicant was the High commissioner of the British embassy (which no one bothered to tell me beforehand). I had no idea what I was talking about and had to bullshit and bluff my way through 7 pages of submissions only to come out and be threatened by some old geriatric nutcase who wanted to post me his severed thumb. Bring it on I say! (not the body parts though...you can keep those).

[mute]

I, too, enjoy my career choice. Though it may be all volunteer at the moment, it's still worth it.

My job, though, sucks ass :D

[rubydog]

Something to consider as you navigate the pathways of your life.

No one is ever lost when they seek the way

No one knows all the answers

No one is perfect

Forgivness is always an option

Always keep your options open

Yet here, Laertes! aboard, aboard, for shame!
The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay'd for. There; my blessing with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!

[skalie]

Shakespeare somehow always looks better in yellow, don't you agree?

[MuffyTheVampyreLayer]

Only if making your feel nauseated is an improvement.

[Mae]

Probably just my perception, but why so negative lately?

[MuffyTheVampyreLayer]

Who? Me?

[Mae]

Yeah, you ok?

[MuffyTheVampyreLayer]

Hmmm. I think so? I have been somewhat disgruntled lately because I have a massive workload and am finding it hard to have fun outside of work...but otherwise fine. Thanks for asking!

*looks for gruntle*
