    Do you understand what trolling is?

    Living under river crossings and barring passage until a self-imposed toll is levied?

    All of those good, honest hard working trolls being put out of business by foreign goats under cutting them and doing shoddy work.

    RANT TIME
    Harry Potter book release: don't worry, no spoilers.

    Showed up at seven, in full costume for a nine am release. Devoted no? I was one of the few to dress up, and I was the best-dressed. I'm not being vain, I honestly had the most detailed and accurate costume there.

    We were told in line, that the best-dressed person in line gets to open the box and have the first Half-Blood Prince book. So, I'm a shoo-in, aren't I? WRONG. Fucking moo brings her bratty sprog in at 8:59am dressed in a generic Kmart cape with stars and glitter and fucking gaudy BLAH. Twig for a wand.

    OMG WITTLE PWESHUS SO CUTE OMG YOU CAN OPEN THE BOX AND HAVE THIS BOOK YOU CAN'T READ AND *fawning fawning, blatant breederism etc* THE FUCKING KID WON'T EVEN REMEMBER THIS. THE BOX OPENING WAS MINE. MIIIIINE.

    I wouldn't have minded if someone had said "Oh look Sass, you are best-dressed but would you mind if this land-mine amputee opened the box instead?" I would have said "Absolutely no problem. Go for it." But no. FUCKING CROTCHDROPPING GETS THE HONOUR. I'm furious. On principle of course, not out of any sense of entitlement. Well yes, entitlement also. But I WORKED FOR IT, I DESERVED IT.

    I made an effort. I spent money making an effort. I showed up early. I will remember and treasure this event for ever and eternity. And I'm passed over for an ugly little brat with a sparkly tie. Woo fucking woo. I didn't stab her in the eye with my wand. I WANTED to. I talked about doing so VERY FUCKING LOUDLY. I was going to eviscerate her mother with the cover of my brand-new copy.
    I fucking hate breeders and child-lovers. FUCKING GO TO HELL.

    I'm so pissed about this, sorry. It's just that in ten years time, this kid won't remember what she was doing on July 16th 2005. In ten years time, I will be remembering how I was deprived of this nerdly honor by an opportunistic twat breeder and her shitling. I'm hurt. All my life, nothing has gotten to me more than being deliberately ignored, or passed over. Honestly; that's the sort of thing that can make me cry in public. Or key your car. Or viciously murder you and your family in the heat of frustration and never-ending denial Congratulations breeders, you win.

    Where I work if people do this they aren't allowed any further into the building than reception.

    Can I come work for you?

    Fucking seriously. What I hate is the gaggle of women who go flock to coo at the kid and forgo working.

    WORK IS NOT FOR SOCIALISING

    BACK TO YOUR DESK, WAGE SLAVE

    yet, when dudes slack off to shoot the shit with each other, no comment from the peanut gallery. While the workplace isn't somewhere a child should routinely be, I have all kinds of problems with this quote tree.

    Except that in Feral, Preacher, and Japan's case they would complain about men shooting the shit too.

    Consider your audience before jumping to accusing them of things, maybe?

    In other news, how have you been?

    Sorry, but I think that's crap. Workers of all stripes turn a blind eye to their own slacking off only to turn around and take a rhetorical dump on parents who have the temerity to turn up at their workplace. I see it in my office all the time. People spend most of their lives at work, its not unreasonable for one or two quick visits during parental leave. And if someone really thinks that losing a few minutes of work time to a child is a day-ruining disaster, I question their priorities. That attitude also translates to a remarkable intolerance of people taking time off work to deal with their older kids. Or, I should say, other people. Somehow its never a problem when they have knock off early or arrive late because they were the taxi that morning.

    Otherwise, I'm doing alright. Veering back into the depressive state I've managed to avoid for several years, but hey.

    I'm not disagreeing that people are more willing to make excuses for themselves than for others, especially when it comes to making excuses for others with children. But your statement made it seem like you were accusing them of making more excuses for men than women, rather than non-parents and parents. Can you see what I'm getting at here, and why others were objecting? I just want to make sure I'm being clear.

    Sad for the depressive state. I've been fighting one lately myself. At least summer is coming up for you now, eh?

    This is also a thing at my current company. All the kids of employees get to come into the office and they set up karaoke machines playing high school musical and have cotton candy machines and face painting and that type of shit. They even had a baloon sculptures last year that were quite bad ass.
