I need to vent!

Looked around locally for months without success for a Peter Gabriel CD or DVD that had all the songs of his that I wanted, so went online and found two that I liked (DVD of the music clips and DVD of a recent concert - I've been collecting Concert DVDs, and when I get a home theatre, it'll be like being there, without the annoying crowds and hassle of getting there). Bought both, from a cheap american online store, and I kid you not - within a week of getting them in the mail, I find both in a JB store, as a 2-pack! :mad:

TYPICAL...

Now, the price was probably still a little cheaper to import the ones I did, but I would have prefered Region 4 PAL copies, even if it did cost a few dollars more. :mad:

Course the same people out there getting jobs.. the very concept drives me nuts when Centrelink ask me why havent I got a job.. I dont know sirs.. apparently my IQ is higher than Room temp

Reading these posts about certain people in jobs made my blood boil... I have just been turned down for a job that i really wanted, because i was 'too qualified'. This is not the first time it happened either.

What the HELL does that even mean?? I'm there, applying for the job, i'm obviously good enough for the position, but they'll give it to some other dumb s**t because they 'are sure i could find another job'. Ive been unemployed for months because I'M TOO QUALIFIED FOR THE JOBS I'M INTERESTED IN!!

*facepalm*

Thats so weird, i was just flipping through my dads CD collection about 15 minute before i read this and saw all his peter gabriel CDs =P

Spent all night with my wife at Blacktown hospital cause she was violently ill and 9.5 weeks pregnant.

We waited for hours in the emergency room while junky after junky, and people with busted wrists from pub brawling all got in before her.

It was an absolute joke!

Suffice to say, I had a few choice words.

The good news is that she's back home now and resting.

Sorry to hear that dude, I know waiting in hospitals suck, escpecially when other people get put before you.

Mine is not so much a vent but I am saddened. Dennis Hopper has only been given a couple of months to live. His cancer has spread and become inoperable. I really liked him, done some brilliant movies. Sad to see it happen.

I had no idea about this, very sad indeed. I liked him in both Waterworld & Mario Bro's, even though both films were terrible otherwise.

Thanks mate. It wasn't so much that people went in before her; it was the fact that those that did had apparent self-inflicted ailments. My wife is 9.5 weeks pregnant and was suffering from severe stomach pains and vomiting in the emergency room. The guy that sitting next to us was bragging about how much worse off the other guy was that he hit while nursing a broken hand. Dickhead!

If there was a mother with a sick child or elderly person I wouldn't have minded.

I'm actually more annoyed by people who check themselves into Emergency because they 'believe' they might need urgent attention. There was a guy whose wee-wee was a strange colour, a woman who couldn't sleep and had apparently tried everything, a couple whose child had stomach pains and a guy with a sore wrist. Go to the GP in the morning FFS!

Meanwhile my dad had nearly sliced off toe which was bleeding but bandaged haphazardly by myself. We checked-in and waited behind these people for like an hr and a half before being told by the nurse we could recieve immediate service if we were willing to fork out cash at the private ward next door.
