if we eliminated mercenary, work-for-hire artists from the art history canon, the entire renaissance would be gone!
Yeah, it's part of why I wanted to do the paper on miniature portraiture in the first place. It's a part of art history that isn't usually covered even though other work-for-hire or work-for-profit is, and a part of it seems to be because the academies shunned it as such a low art form they didn't even include it in their hierarchies. But I also think part of it is that art history tends to ignore a lot of commercial work and things of a certain scale (Cameos, the sculptural equivalent, are also often ignored).
You'll find Francisco Goya, Francois Boucher, and usually Adelaide Labille-Guiard in any general art history book, but you won't see the fine miniature paintings they did much less a mention.
I'm mad that I got 100 percent on the practice section for the Pythagorean relationship and only 66 percent on the area and circumference of circles.
I think I need to practice my multiplication is all. It's been a while since I've done it regularly.
Okay man, lemme help!

I'm mad at stupid work things.
Suffice to say that our billing system is fucked to all hell, we bring it up with the finance department all the time and get told that they know, but it's not a priority.
Meanwhile, invoices go out to customers, and then the system decides (at random!) that since the customers haven't paid their invoices in 24 hours, those customers need to be disconnected. Immediately.
So we then get a bunch of requests to emergency reconnect customers services. Which wouldn't be a big deal normally.
However!
There are a few areas in the country that do not have enough ports available in the exchange for everybody living in the area. Usually areas with older infrastructure and lots of new housing. Those areas go on waiting lists to be connected to copper. So if a port suddenly gets freed up, say by an over zealous finance bot, whoever is next on line in the waiting list gets that suddenly freed up put. There are waiting lists out there that are years long.
And so now, our customer is disconnected, their neighbour who's been waiting for years or months is suddenly connected (these waiting lists are for all providers, not just our company), and we have a very user customer on the phone, sending we connect them. But we can't. Because there's no ports available. And they're now at the very end of the list.
All because the finance bot got too eager. And this is a known problem!!!! But it's not a priority.
Got up at 3 (adjusting my sleep schedule for work). Dog decided to get up too, then promptly peed on the carpet without letting me know she wanted outside. She's usually very good about that.
Mad at myself for not noticing, not at her. And at my coffee being cold now, after walking her and cleaning the mess.
The subway I usually take, the one near my apartment, detailed today. So glad noone was seriously hurt. But I know they are just going to not fix this well. It was already running every 30 minutes during rush hour.
Ffffff... I took another train. And it is very overfull. And people like to crowd by the doors instead of moving in. They also like to take the train one stop.. it's 5-10 blocks. My 3 year old, and my partially paralyzed mom can walk that easily.
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
God damn it on the drive home from the gym this morning I suddenly hear a "wudda wudda" sound from the front of my car and I pull over and my front right tire is half empty and I can hear the sound of leaking air.
I'm still soaked in sweat and on an empty stomach so I'm going to shower and eat and then deal with this fucking bullshit.
I got these tires less than a damn year ago too, fuck.

I'm mad because my best friend just got in a car accident and her and her cat and her mom almost died and the dickbag who ran a red light had the fucking gall to walk up to her as she was pulling her injured mother out of the burning car and blame it on her.
And now her mother is severely injured and may be long term crippled, her cat almost got blindrd and has a chemical burn on his face, she's banged up too but she's focusing on dealing with all the other shit.

I hate that I have patchy hobo sideburns and can't connect the bottom half of my beard to my hair without letting it grow out for like 3 months.

Hello mad thread. Jason Derulo is now my nemesis.
I really enjoyed the Postmodern Jukebox version of his Talk Dirty (Klezmer style, with the 2 Chainz rap in Yiddish!), and decided I'd give the original a shot. Initially I didn't hate it, but it quickly struck me as odd that the video would have shots of someone playing a trumpet as a low note that was clearly on a saxophone or other reed instrument played. Then came the chorus, and the hook. The very reedy, very saxophone hook, as the video shows a pair of women playing, again, trumpets.
"Okay," I think "maybe Jason Derulo just doesn't know what a trumpet is and no one else involved with shooting the video wanted to tell him?"
And then, in the related videos sidebar, I see it: "Trumpets -'Jason Derulo", and I can't help myself. I need to know.
It starts out as more of the same, really. If Derulo has more than one style, I haven't heard it and probably won't at this point. And then comes the chorus, and with it the... keyboard set to a trumpet sound preset? And then like 30 dudes dancing around with prop trumpets pretending to play.
Fuck this song, fuck Jason Derulo. That "found myself a cheerleader" song from a year or so ago was complete trash, but it at least had a decent if basic trumpet part in it.

Derulo was involved in a very annoying commercial that would play over the speakers at work six times an hour last year. It was when coke was putting song lyrics on their packaging, and it was something like "Jay-suhn Derulo here, with a message blah blah I forget, Have you seen what Coke is doing? Dey puttin lyrics, ON DEY BOTTLES!" and we got in a little bit of trouble because we'd just page the intercom and leave the line open every time that commercial started.

I'm mad there isn't a Predator disc fidget spinner.
Oh so when a thing asks you to express your answer in terms of pi that means you don't actually have to multiply by pi to express your answer at all huh?
There is a chance my new puppy has parvo. He has many of the symptoms, but not blood in his feces, which I am hoping means something else is wrong. Other wise, well, my wife just lost her job and it is over $1k per day to treat parvo in puppies. Poor little guy. And the part that makes me mad is that he almost certainly got it from the vet we took him to get his leg checked out by. Maybe it is just a stomach bug though.
If we are both stuck behind a slow car, and I finally decide to signal a lane change to pass, and you obviously see the signal and therefore choose to make the same lane change and peel out because you must be ahead of me, and I subsequently miss the opportunity to make the lane change because in the time it took you to pass me the other cars in the other lane caught up, I will sincerely wish death on you.

The answer is "DANK" obviously.

Also, furniture is really heavy and they should work on fixing that.
