A HUUUUUGGGE Fuck You to Tacoma Public Schools, specifically Jennie Reed Elementary.  My son, who is non-verbal Autistic, ran from school today.  This took place within the first hour, so no chance it took place during recess.  My wife was called and told that he had been found a mile and a half away near the high school.  My question tomorrow (when I go down to chew somebody's ass) is going to be how long was he gone before the police were called?  For a six year old to make it a mile and a half away, that takes a while.  Luckily, he was found safe, and he's home now (on punishment for running away).  I know I don't usually post in this thread (or on the board as a whole), but I needed to vent without stressing my wife out even more than she already is.

 

Who called your wife?

The principal.  We went to speak with everyone involved today.  He's being called a future track star at school.  6 yrs. old, 1 mile in less than 10 minutes.  They are putting more safeguards in place, and we are requesting his own personal aide at school.  We know he has no fear of danger, and really no understanding of what a stranger is.  We've had many family members suggest we "sue their asses off".  We just wanted an explanation, and to see what we could all collectively do to prevent this from happening again.  So far, we are pleased with the school's response.  This could've turned out WAY worse, considering he was actually found by a stranger and escorted to a police officer.

Fuck you, Death. Lost a co-worker today. She was a sweet older lady. She had health issues, but still not expected. You spend years working side by side with people and whether you like it or not, they become extended family.Rest in peace, Lina.

 

Sincere condolences to you. Bereavement sucks.

Fuck you to life. My wife just found out this morning that she no longer has a job. This, in turn, means that we have to take our house (that we can't afford to hang onto) off the market, because who the fuck is going to give us financing now??!? We have no idea what we're going to do. Just complete devastation.

Yesterday in the mail I got a bill...from the ambulance...that peeled me off the pavement after my concussion incident. I know I can use Extended Health and Victim Services to cover most of the cost (and it's only $80), but it's the principle: I've already lost a good $800 in wages this past month (a third of my income is tips, that Employment Insurance won't cover when they finally pay me in two weeks), and I was the guy trying to fix a bad fucking situation.

 

I've always argued that chivalry is NOT dead, but now that I'm being billed for it...well, shit.

Sorry for your loss, EP.

 

Fuck you to relationships.  My on again / off again girlfriend is now off again.  It feels different this time in that I really don't want this woman in my life anymore.  In the past I always hoped we'd reconcile some how, but now I guess I reached my limit.

 

I have a mixed "Fuck You" to Congress.  Furloughs suck, but some time off to get my head clear and play some GTA Online with the crew may be what the doctor ordered.

I was allowed to come in for 4 hours to "wind down" work, but after that, I'm on unpaid vacation.

 

I wouldn't fucking care, if I knew for sure that they'd eventually give me back pay once they figure this funding shit out.  I'm actually an efficient and productive worker, so if they WANT to lose man-hours and have work get backlogged because of this nonsense, fine.  I'm not choosing to be off. 

 

But in this shitty economy, in a political climate where there's not much love for federal employees, I'm not taking it for granted that they're going to give me retroactive pay.  Which is scary, because I'm not in a financial situation where I can just survive with losing a chunk of my yearly salary and I live in an area of the country where cost of living is egregiously high.

I am not too stressed out about the immediacy since I was on night duty last week for the 2ID Warfighter exercise,  The OT and Night Differential will balance out a couple of days of the furlough but not if this shit gets out of hand. 

 

Assholes need to come to terms before the week is out.

I'd like to say a big Fuck You to the government.  Because of this shutdown I'm now working for free.  These assholes will not be reelected because of my vote. 

 

It's OK -- the stupid people in this world are the ones to blame for this mess. You talk to the Tea Party Assholes (which is  a great name for a band) and they froth at the mouth about Obamacare. Casually mention that they would be able to have any dependents under the age of 26 on their health insurance and they are like "really? that's pretty good." Then mention that it's because of Obamacare.
