Random Rant and venting thread for general or specific rage

Eh, our counseling system kind of sucks here. As I understand it, you get ten one hour meetings with the counselor and then they refer you to an actual therapist. Who I'm guessing the school doesn't pay for.

I want there to be a late night show hosted by Conan O'Brien...where Andy Richter and Ricky Gervais are regular comentators. Last night's Conan = hilairous.

Whitney Cummings is sexy :shifty:

Chicken, there's got to be a College Democrats or something like that on campus that would interest you.

[Chickenman 9]

It's a really, really small campus. I've hear a rumor about an improv club starting, but don't know if it's true. Then there's lime a school newspaper and some other things here or there, but not much. It's a pretty small school.

What college are you at? PM if you want. I can get you hooked up. Trust me on this. At the very least, I can get my department (I'm in psych, remember) to look-up your go-to counselor.

I finished my long-term disability paperwork tonight. I plan on sending it certified so that they have to sign for it. Wish I could send it postage due.

You're in Boston, right? One in five people in the city is a college student. You'll find something, my friend. It's a great city, I've got friends there and I've never heard a bad word. Even if the club/meeting doesn't necessarily interest you, go to it. You'll meet all kinds of people, and ultimately that's what matters. Connections lead to more connections.

I tore apart 10 hours worth of knitting today. I keep screwing up whatever I'm working on.

[Ayingel 24]

have you tried the knitting wheels? my mom has one and i really like using it to make scarves and hats...and socks...and slippers...

I made my aunt a cast toe cover on one of the circle looms. Then my other aunt pulled on the end of it and ruined it. I like working with the homespun yarn on those though because you only have to work with one strand at a time.

[Bad furday 57]

My wife prefers to crochet over knit. She says knitting takes a lot longer.

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

Crochet also takes less coordination since you're working with only one needle.

[James the Defender 7]

Absolutely

[Pandora 77]

Bleh. If it can't be made by children in a Sri Lankan sweat shop, I don't want it.

(Kidding, obviously)

[Uncle Du 22]

But fricken hilarious. ;)

On top of everything else right now, thanks to the paperwork getting lost somewhere, I don't have health insurance right now. Apparently, it's perfectly legal for a company to keep you as an employee for a year on a medical leave of absence but after 6 months they can stop paying for your insurance and make you get COBRA. I called Monday to the HR department and got the voicemail of the person in charge of leaves of absence and when I got up today she still hadn't called me back so I called again around noon and her phone went immediately to voicemail. She finally called me back after 4pm today and said that they notified the benefits center on Jan 6 and that the paperwork was sent out so I needed to contact the benefits center.

I've had the biller at the pain specialist's office try to cancel my appointment twice because I don't have insurance any more. I can't get new appointments or tests ordered because they can't verify that I have insurance and this stuff is expensive and I can't afford to pay for it out of pocket. Why does everything have to be so complicated?

[Uncle Du 22]

Just remember, if Obama's healthcare plan goes through it won't be complicated ANY MORE!!!

[Ayingel 24]

"complicated"
