Bitch, where's mah test?

So I was supposed to take the CVE exam today. My appointment was for noon, but early this morning, I logged on to the Prometric web site to confirm that so I could plan the public transportation thing.

Amazingly enough, the website said I had no scheduled test.

Rock the fuck on.

This was a couple hours before the office opened, so I couldn't call to find out what was up. So I went to sleep for a while and when I woke up again, I called.

Yeah, turns out that they canceled my exam because the entire office where I was supposed to take the test is having hardware issues and is down until after the 22nd.

The next soonest I can take it is Friday at a different office. (Well, I could do it tomorrow at 8am in Canton...but seeing as I get off work in Hunt Valley at 8am....yeah. Friday, it is.)

Geez, I'm glad I checked instead of just going there.

At least they sent me an email that I can send to the Powers That Be at work. But they sent it on Friday. To my work email address. Which I never check from home unless I am expecting something. Go figure.

What the fuck is wrong with this city?

Dear Bitch,

What the holy fucking hell is your major malfunction? Do you really expect to sit there screaming on the train and not have someone ask you to lower your voice? Nevermind that you were yelling for several minutes before I finally turned around and asked you to please lower your voice when clearly, no one else would, and the train driver didn't really care. The rest of the world is not the staging grounds for your screaming dramas about your boyfriend cheating on you. If I can hear your every word halfway down the train on top of my already loud iPod, you're invading my space and everyone else around and it is beyond reasonable to expect you to lower your voice.

And don't you fucking dare call me a racist for asking you to lower it either. If I didn't hear you screaming, I never would have turned around. I had no fucking clue what your skin color is, and even if I did care what color your skin was, all I would have to do is keep staring straight ahead and never look at you. But no, you drew the attention to yourself. You made an embarrassing spectacle of yourself. You are the fucking obnoxious bitch here, I don't care what your skin color is, I don't care what your issue is, I am not fucking oppressing you by expecting you to act like every other decent person on the train- you did notice that nearly every other person on the train was black too, right? I had no problems with them. Why? Because they weren't screaming their fucking asses off.

You don't get to play the racism card to excuse your unfuckingbelievably ridiculously juvenile behavior. Your behavior is not a race issue, it's equally unacceptable from anyone. I've seen better-behaved screaming two year olds.

So, in short, shut the fuck up and take some fucking responsibility for your atrocious attitude and behavior. you're not acting like that because you're black, you're acting like that because you're a raving bitch with no courtesy to speak of.



The thing that gets me is that this isn't the first time I've been called a racist for asking someone to lower the noise. When in the hell did it become acceptable to expect the entire world to put up with your screaming/yelling/insanely loud uh...whatever it is that masquerades as music because of your fucking skin color? and no, I don't find this sort of thing acceptable from anyone. It's not an issue of race, it's an issue of having a little decency when being out in public. Oh my holy fucking gawds.

And I've only ever seen this in Baltimore. In similar situations in New york City, Philadelphia, Dallas and Lancaster that I remember, people either ignore you, mumble a vague apology or just tone it down a bit, no one's ever screamed racist at me for asking to lower their voice. I don't fucking get it.

Interesting Meme....

Hoisted from fervid_dryfire

Alphabet meme:
1. It begins with a list of all 26 letters of the alphabet.
2. Comment with something for me to talk about that starts with one of those letters.
3. One topic per letter - it's like a claims list!
4. You can comment multiple times, but only if the letter you chose hasn't already been taken.
5. I will post a new post talking about all topics given to me!

Depending on the topic and how verbose I feel, I might post about several in a single LJ post, or in separate entries. Please note that an extremely vague and broad topic will likely result in me rambling on about the first thing that comes to mind in relation to that topic, so if you want something more specific, be more specific. I'll also edit the post when letters get taken.
