seriously, fuck my university. For the first time in the last 3 years I was sick and couldnt take an exam because of it. I got to the doctor, got the doctor's certificate, but unlucky me, they didnt got any pre-printed forms left or whatever. So I got a typed certificate, which still featured signature, stamp and explicit stated that I was unable to take the exam. Now, over 2 weeks later, they inform me that they dont want to accept the certificate yet they didnt tell me what was wrong with my certificate. My faculty doesnt provide us anywhere with pre-printed forms (like others at this university do) or give a description what a doctor's certificate has to look like to be accepted. Apparently being juridical correct isnt enough for my awesome university. So I told them that there is no information on how they like their doctor's certificates, that mine is juridical correct and therefore I dont think they have any legal ground to not accept the one I gave them. I also asked how they think I could get an certificate thats suitable for them, when its over 2 weeks later and that if it helps, I am willed to ask the doctor for a copy of my results as proof. 40,3° celcius fever and blood in my urin along with some charactaristic bacteria is pretty foolproof (that i didnt told them ofc., just like I proper phrased the other stuff). I mean sure, getting blood in your urin would be manageable, without much thinking I get to 3 options, but even considering those would propably get the doctor to write you an certificate because of psychological reasons. Also, what the hell?! If they want it to fit a special format, they should tell that somewhere. I admit, the secretary told me that they might not accept it, but she wasnt sure since shes usually not responsible for that stuff and only does it because the one whos responsible for that kind of stuff is on vacation yadayadayada. So lets check this one... you let the one person whos responsible for exam stuff go on a 2 week vacation during the hot phase of the exam-period? And then you expect me to wander around a city with serious pain and fever, just because a person that wasnt sure/isnt usually responsible for that kind of stuff told me that they might not accept my certificate? I was just happy that I had the mind to go to the doctor in the first place, the constant fever and ague along with the pain broke me so hard that only on monday I managed to think about seeing a doctor - while having all that awesome stuff since friday noon. I want to take that fucking exam and I want to take it this semester you pricks. This shit just feels like bullying, since there is nothing wrong with my doctor's certificate in the first place. Its not even from the exam day, its the day before and covers 5 whole days. I know there are a lot of students who fake their illness, but I am not one of those losers, I know how to study properly, thats why I manage to pass all of your bullshit wanabe-elite exams without a problem and 1.7 being my lowest mark. This whole thing shouldnt suprise me thoug - my university made it into headlines by demanding the exact illness and symptoms displayed on the certificate a few years before, BUT it got reversed because of the major backlash, so sit down and stop generally suspecting anyone. I swear, if I ever change subjects/decide to study another subject, I will avoid these so called elite universites like the plague, the administration in those is even more retarded than in the regular ones. Lets wait for their response and get ready to answer in my finest officialese, I am very good at pointing out BS and having a friend whos a lawye does help. Not that I would be stupid enouhg to take things to court, but it does help if you can simply send a question to a friend who quickly tells his assistant and on the same day you get a nice list of paragraphs and rulings that support you (incase of you being right of course). So again, fuck my university and their BS. | ||

It's hard, and it really depends on who that person is if you should tell them or not. When I did it, he took it VERY poorly. So poorly he actually hit me and hasn't really spoken to me much since... so just be careful with it. | ||

I don't know how it happened or where I picked it up but I want it to stop. It's only supposed to be a mild, two week infection... it's been here for two months and all it's doing is getting more painful and moving around my face. I just want to stop hurting and itching. I want to be able to go out in public without bandaging my face. As cliched as it is it so something like this... I can't think of anything I could have possibly done to deserve this. I pride myself on being a fairly strong person but I'm so frustrated I'm just so close to breaking down and sobbing. | ||

This vaccination debate. I hate how much vitriol is involved. "If you don't vaccinate your kids, you are a moron and shouldn't let stupid offspring live". What the fuck is that shit? The thing is, I'm torn. All the time, I hear about children who are developing normally, start speaking and learning, then get shots and react badly and stop talking. They end up with symptoms of autism. I always thought that stuff was a myth or something. But then it happened in my life. My youngest brother was developing normally, learning to say names and stuff, and then he completely stopped after getting his shots. Today, he has a severe case of autism, and is unable to hold a conversation. I don't even want to hear shit about how 'safe' they are. I just want to know the truth, but everyone seems to have an agenda, so I can't just get the facts straight up. And I don't care what the FDA says, because they're full of shit. The FDA consistently approves stuff that kills people. So when the government says "Don't worry, it's safe, trust us. TAKE IT OR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MIGHT DIE OF A HORRIBLE DISEASE, DON'T QUESTION IT, JUST DO IT." my gut just tells me something is amiss. But of course, I can't have an opinion without being bombarded by insults by liberal shills who just go "Well, the scientific consensus..." The scientific consensus can go suck a dick. Any time I ask questions about this, people just go "Shut up and believe us". It just feels like everyone is brainwashed, and because some crazy gun-hoarding Republicans who think the world is flat refuse vaccinations, I'm automatically lumped in with that bunch. So, let me lay this out: - Why do people who bring up points against vaccination have to be FUCKING CRAZY? I was reading one person's blog, and saw a study done by a professor about vaccinations which looked pretty well thought-out. So I checked out some of this blogger's other stuff, and of course, there's stuff about HAARP, 9/11 truth, evolution-denial. - I never gave a fuck about Jenny McCarthy. - We live in a massively sanitized and hygienic world. It's been proven that merely washing your hands will mitigate the spread of disease massively. People have better nutrition now than ever in history, as well, or at least, have some kind of access to good nutrition. Additionally, the proliferation of cat-ownership has brought down the number of rodents that come in contact with humans. Why are these factors so quickly brushed aside as major contributing factors in the eradication of major diseases? - Every single year, there is some over-hyped 'super virus' that we're told to be deeply afraid of. West Nile Virus, Mad Cow Disease, Avian Flu, Swine Flu, Ebola, Anthrax, and so on. They always kill like 3 people, but the media urges everyone to get vaccinations at once, go go go. Don't question it, just go. - If there is something in vaccinations that is harming children, isn't that worth looking into instead of pretending like there is no problem? I keep hearing the same story over and over about healthy children going to get vaccinations and then regressing developmentally. That is a problem. Something is wrong. - There are medical doctors who are raising concerns over vaccinations, not just a bunch of rednecks and Jenny McCarthy. It's not just stupid politicians. I just don't know anymore. I'm just confused and scared and I want to ask questions, and everybody just wants to 'be right'. Someday, in the future, we'll know the truth about who was bullshitting us. I also want to say I'm not against adults and even older kids getting vaccinations. Just not babies. They're so fragile, and it doesn't take very much of anything to fuck them up or kill them. | ||

They're so fragile, and it doesn't take very much of anything to fuck them up or kill them. + Show Spoiler + Herd mentality is a real issue and you raise valid concerns. The real problem with the anti-vaccination movement is that it's not just babies not getting shots, it's people of all ages. The premise behind having everyone be vaccinated is so that if someone is unable to be vaccinated or otherwise doesn't become vaccinated they are not nearly as at risk since everyone around them is vaccinated thus reducing the chance that someone passes it to the non-vaccinated person. You can see a real world example with the recent measles outbreak at disneyplace. The point about washing our hands and being a more sterile society is demonstrably false as these diseases that were 'eradicated' are making a comeback, even in today's society. There is an increasing number of cases of Polio in the united states when that disease was supposed to be dealt with already. If the entire issue was just to wait longer until vaccinating children, I don't think the debate would be nearly as entrenched as it is. Hell, if only the people who don't vaccinate were at risk I don't think there would be an issue. The problem is that not only are some people unable to be vaccinated for medical reasons, vaccines are not 100% effective in 100% of cases. Add to this the idea that the more chances a disease has to infect people, the more chances it has to mutate and become resistant or immune to the vaccine. Non vaccinating your children affects more than just your children. Now, I am not educated in any significant way but even if there is a way to prove vaccines cause disorders to develop in 2% of recipients the benefits outweigh the risks in my opinion. You at least survive developmental disorders. | ||

Jesus Christ fuck the job market, so idiotic. A series of interviews for the few jobs that make me financially better off, and they amount to 'have you done this exact job before? If no, then fuck you.' I had one a while back that included experience with the MS Office suite, then a competency test on-site with other applicants. I finish top in the competency test and get rejected because I 'haven't used Excel in a professional environment'. That's cool, if you DIDN'T HAVE A FUCKING COMPETENCY TEST THAT I BEAT EVERYONE ELSE IN? Not even the worst part, there's an absolutely insane amount of jobs that are part-time, and demand literal Monday-Sunday fully flexible hours. I cannot do any of these, I'd be happy rocking two jobs, but everywhere I look there are jobs that I literally have no reason to do because they offer less hours, impact on my childcare arrangements (which are essentially non-negotiable), and conflict with my existing work hours. Literally going back to school for the sake of it to try and get myself a leg up. I'm a very fucking capable individual who by virtue of not having a 2:1 honours degree is completely fucked over for jobs, when in reality all I want to do is get my fucking head down and work. | ||

I was actually down at a community "Job club" today trying to find new avenues to attack so I can get more interviews and get my foot in the door of a job. Thus far, I've had 9 interviews since September 2012 when I graduated. Unfortunately, I didn't get an honours degree because A) my university is a bunch of complete assholes who didn't want to accept the Student Loans company money for the course, so I had to pay for it using my maintenance money, whilst being threatened with bailiffs trying to work everything out for 4 months, B) the Universities all upped the fees and even with a 20% discount on my last module I couldn't afford it, because I work part time and C) my part time job fucked me over and didn't pay me properly for 4/5 months before I had to do my last module. All in all, I ended up with a BSc Computer Science pass without honours. I've applied for all manner of jobs, and have only managed to get one entry level IT interview. I've applied for warehouse work, had an interview for a part time mail sorting and toilet scrubbing job and my last interview was for the role of a trainee asbestos surveyor :/ I feel your pain. I honestly wish I did an apprenticeship or something, because it isn't about degrees or diplomas or pieces of paper, it's about experience. I wish you all the best in your job hunting endeavours! :D | ||
