Heads up: This is a rant, so prepare yourself for alot of my rambling, or hit the back button on your browser now.
I. UCF
For those not yet informed, UCF has turned me down for this fall term of 2008. Reason given: "Due to the strength of this year's academic pool". With such an ambigously encoded phrase I came to believe either:
a.) My grades weren't good enough (how is 3.5 NOT good? Ontop of that, they listed other requirements like the mandatory two years of a foreign language in HSwhich I had 4), or;
b.) I was too late in the game (though the deadline for applying as a transfer was today)
I was told by a friend also trying to get into UCF that the coded meaning was that they accepted more than they could handle, and thus leaving no room for entry.
Of course, this came too me a little later than I had hoped for, and they suggested applying to a community college to get my basic stuff done, which I just finished today. Now I just hope PBCC doesn't turn me down too, because that'd be a huge disappointment... and a low blow onto what little of my pride I have.
II. Washington Place (My apartment complex)
Never again do I live in an old building. The place I'm in is (supposedly) 80 or some years old, which makes me wonder how they've not condemned and rebuilt the place yet. Instead of ranting on every topic that has made my blood boil, I'll list them with a short add after.
1.) My A/C. I needed it in the summer... and the spring. It only blows out to about 4 feet, keeps part of my room cold, but my bathroom and closet are humid and hot as hell. They promised one 'soon' in the Fall, then told me they never ordered one and it'll come in Spring, then barged in my room (through my roommates door) to fix it.
2.) My heater. My bed sits next to the window, because there's no other wall I can lean it against away from th kitchen area, and the heater is there too... but it never worked. Even after they came in twice to -cough- fix -cough- it.
3.) My cancerous ceiling. It rained in my room for some time, due to some leak up on the roof. They put an ugly bucket and gave me the wonderful smell of molding paint for a few weeks : )
4.) The washers in the laundry room. There are 6 washers. There are 2 that work. It's been like that for weeks.
5.) The floorplan in general. There are 5 outlets in my room (not including the one in the bathroom). Two of those are over sinks. Tv + Gaming system + Lamp + Computer & other parts + microwave needs alot of outlets... preferably NOT dispersed around the room.... There are no vents, so air does not circulate, nor filter out the ungodly amount of dust. And I can't forget to mention my "Air sucker".
6.) Leaking sink. I gave up on calling maintenance after a few past calls.
7.) Neighbors. You tell them to be courteous, they grow even ruder.
III. Work
The typical complaints:
My boss is a c**t to the 5th degree. She tells me to do one thing and when it's done I was supposed to do another thing. She assumed since day one I knew what the ******** I was doing (I've only worked at subway and at target as a cashier before this...) and I don't work as a cashier this time.
What hit me hardest was her cutting me and Ken's hours. Reason: sales are down and less profit equal less pay for employees, so hours need to be cut.
Understandable.
'Til I was told by a coworker she was working more hours than usual...
I didn't think that was how the formula worked.
For now I'm done. And I feel a little better. I'd be happier if I could kick my landlord, but that won't be happening.
