*Breathes sigh of relief that it is not he who MsChris is ticked off at*
I can't stand having people angry at me...
Anyway, we're all glad you're here MsChris, so stick around.

Good God! I've worked my job for 10 and couldn't imagine starting over.. Much less 21 years. That's terrible!

That's an issue with us too. The lack of willingness to leave our home and families. I couldn't imagine leaving everyone I care about.

So, please, stick around. And, if you really want to keep yourself secreted, you might want to tell your husband to be a little more discreet...
Nah, I know many people here and know the vast majority don't hold grudges against either of us for things that may have happened on other boards.
I really considered using an alternate username when I registered, but overall I prefer people to know who I am beforehand.
Besides, she's not embarrassed about her old username, she just wants to be rid of it and it and the issues left behind.
BTW, you know me from TNO and possibly the old days of SciFi Art.

It's important for everyone to remember that here, in this Forum, I am and will remain the Supreme Bastard. I don't know what sort of personal demons are being vomited up into this thread, nor do I care.
It seems a few of you are laden with grudges inscrutable to anyone but yourselves. I should probably lock this thread, but that seems rather unfair to the majority of posters here, who are good and decent people and shouldn't be forced out because some of you haven't stumbled across the fact that you are no longer in second grade.
So I trust that now that we've had this lovely little bile party we can move on. Yes?

I just love insulting Americans. It's a character flaw. And, granted, not a very challenging use of my time given how easy it is.
Yes, I'm afraid it does suck that your plant is closing down, Mrs. Deaver. And I think you'll find that not only is it deeply insensitive that they're doing it just before Crimbo, it's also completely intentional. Catching the workforce off guard and all that sort of thing.
I wish I could suggest some solution. But I can't. What I can promise you is that venting it all in Whiny American Thread #2463 isn't going to help at all. Ohh, I've lost my job, I've crashed my car, my parents don't understand me, I hate living in a democracy because all those morons that make up most of the population voted for someone I don't like, I hate myself and I want to die, on and on and on. . .
I used to do that. One day I decided that instead of writing messages on the internet about it all, I'd go out and do something about it all. Not having much luck on the democracy front, I'll admit, but it's early days yet.
I don't mean to sound mean and callous and cruel, I just am so that's the way it comes out.
Orion: sorry to hear that. Let me know what happens, OK? And if you're down here anytime soon, let's have a pint. You too, Liam.
See? I can be sensitive and sympathetic! Mind you, it helps that I know them both in what you whimsically call "real life," while some people I've seen post here would fail the Turing Test.
In conclusion: life's a bitch, get over it. Alcohol helps. End rant. 8)

For some reason you seem to be under the impression everyone is complaining about loosing there job, and just sitting around sulking on a bulletin board.
When I registered, this appeared to be a discussion board afterall. I see no rules banning ranting and discussing the crappy deal you get in life sometimes.
Whatever your trying to accomplish here, seems futile to me since your obviously not very successful in starting the trouble your looking for.

I think that I should point out my enormous trousers at this point. Also, to be fair, it's nowhere near as bad as it was back when it was bad. I forget when. You couldn't move then for drowning in a sea of self-pity.
But on the positive side, look who's improved. Ultra Magnus went from a quiet and shy City Commander, er, poster, to a complete mentalist (a funny mentalist to be sure, but still a mentalist). Jordan seems to have brightened up, and become a lot more self-irrelevent. Which is good. Frank's calmed down a great bit, passing on most of his previous annoying habits onto Omega. And Sol is currently "dead sexy". Apparently.
And I'm at university with attractive women! Yay!
So, to sum up, vegeterians are shit.

Jesus Christ, you'd think anyone actually cares about your IP numbers? I don't know why the fuck everybody continually posts them, but it's fucking pissing me off.
And what the goddamn fuck is the fucking deal with the fucking three fucking stars at the end? Like you're fucking teasing us or something? Look, here's my IP, but, oops, you can never know what it really is.
Fuck. I think we're all just fucking sick and fucking tired of the lame bastards who feel the fucking need to fucking post that lame shit in EVERY SINGLE POST.
Fucking Fucks.
Don't get me fucking started on those goddamn green flowers, either...

But now, back to problems... I have this really cute little angel sitting on one shoulder saying..."Chris, you are better than that. Not responding aggravates them more than responding."
But then - on the other shoulder is sitting this little red guy with a pitchfork and horns saying..."Go ahead - Rip 'em a new one. He's worn the other one out."
Angel is winning.
