He didn't say anything about not knowing how to do it, and based on my experience of having it done before it isn't particularly complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My annoyance is referencing/citations for my essay. Ugh. Probably the worst part, I'll just get into the flow of what I'm writing and I have to stop to add in a footnote. It's not good going back to put them in afterwards either, as I usually forget where I need to place the footnote or where the reference comes from etc. There are also waaay to many guidelines for how to reference.

Arkhangel Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 I work for a non-profit organisation assisting women from a particular marginalised group with a particular very serious social issue (vague enough for ya? :p). I actually only work there til next week, as I'm moving on to another job. Today I was helping to organise a conference in a couple of weeks' time. CEOs of multiple similar organisations will be attending. For the three days their accommodation will cost around $400 each. The CEO of our organisation? Has decided the hotel everyone else is staying at isn't good enough for her and had her assistant book her a place somewhere else. I found out today that her accommodation for the same period will be almost $1500. #smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are not. They were two separate annoying things on the same day. You get used to referencing and do not think anything more of it after a while. Actually I fell pretty fancy to see how the source list is growing - "look, professor, I put looooots of work into this, do you see how many sources I looked into?" But I do not use footnotes, just the form: "My annoyannce is referencing/citations for my essay." (ExMachina 2016: 10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Today's annoyance: I cannot believe I sent the same corrections of the same text for the third time because they still weren't fixed. I wonder how the printed version will look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon enough you'll be working for a living, doing senseless stuff for no apparent reason and there is no diploma at the end o itf but 40+ more years of doing the same. Things could be worse.

RhaenysBee Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Traffic. Sitting in the middle of a horrible traffic jam. Why is there a traffic jam on Saturday afternoon? I have to be somewhere at 3pm. And let me tell you that annoys me too. I didn't get up early enough, so I had to rush and couldn't get ready properly. And I really wanted to get ready properly because I didn't get married or engaged, I didn't have a baby, I don't have a skyrocketing career, Microsoft doesn't invite me NYC and I didn't even move country so I have literally nothing to say about the past 5 years of my life so the bloody least is that I look better than 5 years ago. seriously, why the F am I even going?

Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 New York state is really making it difficult for me to get on medicaid. It is extremely frustrating. First they enrolled me, then I was disenrolled, then it turns out someone fucked up. I think the state is doing it on purpose in hopes that I give up.

Tijgy Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 The Belgian Train Company sucks. There is something wrong with their time table. I do not know exactly why but I must wait for my other train an hour while I normally would have directly another train . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litechick Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Bureaucracy! Fuck you Bureaucracy! The trouble is that the rules are made to keep the Big Fish in check without regard for the fact that they are strangling many little fish like me. I attended a seminar on DOT regulations regarding commercial trucking and this is my take-away: You cannot possibly be compliant to all the regulations. The presenter was a man of 30 years DOT experience. He gifted us with copies of the Bible of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and told us how he keeps a copy by the bed. He also acknowledged that prior to this seminar he had been unaware of an exception in some regulations for people in my industry. He acknowledged that the regulations change monthly. So you can live and breathe DOT safety regulations and still not know it all. He opened with an acknowledgement that most people want to be compliant and that people who don't care are the fringe. He taught me not to care. On the whole, it would be cheaper to pay the fines of non-compliance if I get inspected rather than devote the time and energy to comply. At one point I did get emotional. He was outlining the protocol for hiring a freelancer to do some driving and I pointed out, 'So I have to do it all myself. It takes three hours of paperwork to get 2 hours of work from a hired driver.' Woe is me. I just have to suck it up one way or the other. Once I was issued a citation for not having a log book on a 90 mile journey. The officer was wrong, I wasn't required to have a log book but I didn't know that and he didn't know that so I just paid the damn fine. Cost of doing business.

Yay for weekends. House problems suck. Oh to go back to the days of being 20 with no responsibilities or care. My pregnant wife might have strep, and my two little boys are coughing a lot too. Apparently I am immune. Anyhow, I was just at a global warming presentation and it was 16 degrees F this morning with a fucken 30 mph wind. Not that I don't believe global warming is a serious issue but i sort of feel like telling them to get bent. We were supposed to play baseball today.
