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 lawyer 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. just an pdate: After responding to them in a way that might have given them the impression that I consulted a lawyer, I got asked to come into the office of assistent of my faculty. There where the person responsible for dealing with my request, as well as the dean. Both personally apologized to me, stating that it was a "unfortunate misunderstanding and a mistake on the behalf of the office". My request got approved (even though it wouldnt have changed a thing if it didnt. It just means that I dont waste 1 of my 3 available attempts to take the exam, of which I will need only this one), now I just wait until they announce on which date the exam will take place. Moral of the story: dont fling BS at me if you are sure that I am wrong. Otherwise it will be a very unpleasant experience for you! (ignoring the fact that I had only bark but no bite in this situation, better sound tough!  )On the other hand, I was stupid enough to take a exam the day I got sick, even though I didnt feel that bad until the evening. I guess I was wrong and already had fever when taking the exam because I got a f*cking 3.7... On goddamn math, the only exam that I where sure to get 1.0 since it is free of memerizing-bs, I exeeded the maximum amount of points we could achieve in our homework by 4, I completed 3 exams for practice in ~60min each (we have 90min available) without any errors and therefore had 30min for the last exercise (the exam covers 6 subjects, each has a set of exercises and you have to complete 5, if you complete 6 they take the 5 with the highest score into account). So now I got 1.0-1.7 on all of my tests and this 3.7. Sure it doesnt really affect my average and I am gonna go for the master afterwards anyway, but it annoys me. I prepared a ton for this exam and it is in no way a display of my skill and preperation and this just annoys me. Also it annoys me because it is math, something that a clear question of "you are able to do it or you dont". as long as you follow a few simple rules, there is no way you get graded bad because the prof didnt liked the phrasing of your answer/didnt understand you. You also cant get a good grade by talking shit and pretending, in my opinion it is one of the few cases where a mark is really representive of your skill. Also I dont like excuses, sure I might had fever that day, but what the hell did I manage to get so much wrong?! I sure will take the opportunity to look at my exam, I am really interested if I am stupid or not... | ||

That or get mugged and get a severe concussion and lose your sense of smell and taste as happened to a friend of mine. | ||

Should be something you could just anonymously send up the chain and make it someone else's problem (confronting her about it). If you're that someone though you just got to suck it up and tell her that what she does at home is her own business but when she shows up to work she has to have an acceptable smell and that whatever she is doing now just isn't working. An 'outside the box' solution would just be spending the start of your workday huffing the shit out of her funk until you just can't really smell it anymore...lol | ||

Yeah, feels great to win over this type of crap. Funny thing is, the certificate the doctor wrote me featured much more information than the certificate of incapacity for work they usually need. I could lie to the doctor that I do some work that requires me to walk and therefore could get a certificate of incapacity for work to skip an exam because of a broken foot/toe, while the one I submitted clearly stated that I was unable to take any form of exam since my physical condition it vastly affected. Sometimes I wonder if some prejudices about us germans like that we enjoy blindly following rules are true lol. | ||

On February 26 2015 07:14 DSK wrote: + Show Spoiler + I sincerely feel your pain, sir. 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 + Show Spoiler + I'm on the job hunt in the same field too. My parents (well, mostly my mom. My dad gets that our economy is fucked right now) are pressuring me a ton about it, asking why I haven't applied for more jobs and that type of thing. There's no jobs to apply for. I've applied for almost every one I can find locally and heard back from none of them. The current expectation is that I will have a job in the field by the time I'm done school in a month and a half. There's been less than 5 non-senior level programming/IT postings in the last 2 months. The only company left that I haven't applied for is a place that perpetually has ads because their turnover is huge due to being both an awful place to work at and for lowballing people on salaries big time (a buddy of mine who applied there was offered less than I currently make for a job requiring a CS degree and industry experience). Not to mention I already have a job unrelated to CS that I really like even though it pays way less (well, right now it does. Within a few years I'd be making slightly less than the average developer job but in exchange have basically no work-related stress. Their pay scale is based on seniority and hours and I'm about half way up it right now). It's basically zero stress, I have a ton of friends there and my day goes fast. I'm honestly at the point where I'd rather just stick with my current job for a year or two and wait out the recent economic events rather than stress myself out a bunch over the one job posting a month that I probably won't get anyway. And yeah, for Wombat's point about how all the jobs are crazy with requirements and the expectation that you can basically walk in, know everything they do, and immediately get to work, and if you haven't done this exact thing they don't even consider you. Yeah, that's how it is here too."Oh you applied for this entry level development job and haven't done 5 years of database work, 3 years of work developing for Microsoft platforms, 3 years of full stack web development, and contributed regularly to at least 5 open source projects? Welp, too bad for you". One place went as far in the ad as basically saying there would be no training and the expectation is that if you are hired you must teach yourself the required languages/APIs before the start date of the job. Because you know, actually training employees costs money and that certainly doesn't seem like a worthwhile thing to do. Phew, that felt good to get off my chest. | ||

There is a special needs guy who comes into my store on a regular basis. He's really nice and usually drops like $10+ here each visit. The only issue I have is that he has a random chance of talking to me about pokemon/yugioh/anime/random shit he thought of (today, for example, he wants to order an android from space that will fuse with him like venom from spiderman) He was here for 2 and a half hours. I am a very patient person but after hearing the same story about how his android is going to come to earth in an ice-covered capsule that he has to activate by touching... It gets a little frustrating. I don't want to tell him to leave because I feel for the guy. I'm probably the only person who listens to his stories and responds like he's a human being.. + Show Spoiler + "What happens if someone else touches it before you? How will it be hidden from the military as it comes down from space?" 'huh, i never thought of that' Anyone with experience in a situation like this? I could use some help explaining to him that I don't want to hear the same shit 4 times, without him taking it as though I never want him to talk to me again. I'm not very good at awkward social situations as it is.... edit: For clarity, I run a convenience store. If I sold trading cards or something I would know what I was getting into | ||

If I sold trading cards or something I would know what I was getting into funny, your story reminded me of something ongoing in my life with a certain person, it is sort of similar. there is this really annoying obnoxious guy on my hockey team, i only see him for an hour or so every thursday but he is loud, a pathological liar and talks non stop, it really mentally drains me, i try to be sort of nice to him when he talks directly to me but sort of give him dull answers like yea.. oh cool while others directly tell him to shut up which i would consider rude but in this case i believe its well deserved. that doesnt phase him tho he will continue on, mostly making up pointless lies trying to make his life seem more interesting and blaming other players for their mistakes on the ice, when he is not very good at hockey himself. although my situation is pretty different from yours, it is also sort of the same. you have to deal with someone on a somewhat regular basis who will talk and talk about stuff you really have no interest in. although in your case i feel like its a little more touchy because the guy really doesnt seem like a bad person, maybe just a little lonely, imaginative and a little weird... i dont really know what you should do maybe just let him off easy like, fake a phone call or something when he goes off on a rant or just be honest with him, say hey man you've told me this before i know, its not really my thing.. hope this can help u a little bit | ||

Trolling is the most idiotic thing on the Internet. It is a bunch of Borat wannabes who think they are so clever when they are obnoxious, insufferable, and unfunny, BUT ITS OKAY BECAUSE I GOT INTO YOUR HEAD And on top of that, people who send threats, bully, and harass people on the internet but get all self-righteous about free speech when any sort of action is taken against them. Talk about making free speech useless. | ||

Recently in English class we've been peer reviewing papers to spot any mistakes, mostly on making sure any past tense verbs become present tense which is appropriate in literary analysis. They say you only truly begin to see your own mistakes until you see the same mistakes you make in others. Sometimes when I go on Omegle, a place to talk to internet strangers I see a mirror of myself. They have the same gratuitous anxieties that are over exaggerated. It's strange. A person I used to talk to on skype no longer talks to me. They said they would unblock me in "a week or so." I had to google that and it'll be within the range of 7-9 days? A little under or above 7 days at least or maybe never. Maybe that's for the best because I stopped treating the person like a person. They became dehumanized to me I guess. Everyone online is dehumanized and I don't really treat them like I would a real life human which can go either way. Slowly I realize I need constant stimulation and the use of the computer to appease my mind. It's become an addiction. Every waking moment I have it feels like I'm always dull or stoned and I've lost a large number of brain cells which don't grow back. You can grow and strengthen the ones you already do have but the damage has been done. It feels like I'm not as bright as I was two years ago. Yah, it's okay. I guess I'm going to go vent on here more regularly now. This week has been a total drag. Everything is falling apart. I know I'm going to get through it but still. Tests are always there and I'm going to take more tests for who knows how long. I want to make these years meaningful because I know it's only going to get more harder. Life is always harder with growing responsibilities and new problems. Maybe I'm just being dramatic. I'm feeling kinda sad. I'm feeling really sad. Someone pity me right this instant. Ah, but if I say that won't people be reluctant to feel sorry for me? Ah, I still feel so drained. I need to man up, just get to it, punch something in the eye. The creative ideas always flow at midnight when I'm already asleep. This guy I was talking to had a really good idea. It was about penises. It was about ostriches. It was about how you forget about the dreams you dreamt of the time you slept. It was pretty intriguing. Maybe I'm already thinking about the dreams I'd usually be dreaming about while asleep cuz i'm staying up so late. Ugh, my fibula area of my leg has developed some sort of rash. It's all red and I keep scratching it. That's probably a bad idea. I think my whole life revolves around what other people are doing which is a bad thing. I should go outside probably. What do I do for sports? That's a good question you ask. I was more imaginative, more positive at some point. What happened? What do I do for sports? I don't do anything for sports. I imagine I'd hurt someone terribly and give them a concussion or they'd have a brain aneurysm randomly and I'd blame myself. I would never have the fortitude to live with the guilt. I guess I was asking for it. I treat others with contempt and others are going to treat me the same way. That's fine...........I deserve it. Not. Maybe that's my paranoia and anxiety. I need to do something, that's right. Hey, what if that person I'm thinking about right now never talks to me again....maybe that's for the better. I'm so tired. Let's nap and wake up. | ||
