okay this rant isn't anything to do with asexuality i'll say that at the outset.
This is more a doesn't it piss you off when this happens type rant.
I bought a new desk top lamp for my computer desk, get it home find out it needs a 40w globe. of course every globe i have in the house is 60 or 75w. So jump back in the car go to the supermarket. takes me another 5 minutes to find the aisle that has the light globes in it.
Stand there staring at the globes they all have the screw in connection, I need the other sort.
So of course they have about 2 hangers of those sort of connections, and they are those energy savers. I figure okay ill do my little bit of saving the planet today.
So i buy it, get it home it still wont fit, cause it's got this great hulking wide white base that doesn't fit any light fitting in the house , let alone the desk top lamp i bought it for.
Well that was $10 dollars well spent not, $5 bucks worth of petrol up in fumes, and still no *^&#)*&^ Light
Rantingly Yours

OOHH Goodness Ive been exalted lots... Woohhoo, oh and Ive got a little gold star as well yay!
Now back to the regularly scheduled Ranting...
You wouldn't believe it but the light globe saga continues.
Mum nipped out this morning to get the weekend newspapers, and thought
she'd cheer me up by getting a light globe. She gets home and says i got you
light globe for the lamp and then swears.... it's the screw in type, and this one
needs the bayonet style one...
Ohh you have got to be kidding me dont you.
So in a last ditch effort went to yet another place got two 40w bayonet styled
light globes 75cents each....
So 16 something dollars, 3 shopping trips and a 1/4 tank of petrol later,
I finally have a desk lamp that works. ( Which i half expected to be dodgy
and not work as well )
~phew~ thank goodness that is overwith

We're ranting about anything!? My strawberry black tea was so sweet I think I'm moving fast enough that I'm in the future. I'm glad you *finally* got your lamp working Chancesunrise I would've given up and sat in darkness until one of my parents walked by and noticed... Hehe. My rant, business law and ethics. Seriously, I get how we need the basic understanding of how we got to our current idea/definition/concept of what Law is... but seriously, all the way back to Plato?! PLATO!!! I'm doing BUSINESS! Not Law! *cries* The only asexual ranting I can come up with is, um... people stereotyping clubs over on AVEN. But that was the last thread that I read... so... yeaaaaaaah... *wanders off* |

New rant! My d**n mobile's battery only lasts like, three days...if I keep it on power-save and silent. I mean, I got that LG's battery life-span wasn't the most...advanced.. but COME ON!
Plus, my jaw has been locked for almost a week. It's really, very annoying.
