19 January 2006

This is a whining thread! [More:]
I'm having a bad day.

I need to buy a car, like, yesterday. And the auto loan I was offered had the highest, most bullshit APR ever. Really.

I need to find a new place to live in the next month and a half. I have no idea where I'm going to go.

My cell phone is broken.

I've missed ever episode of Project Runway and Lost because my cable's been out since the hurricane.

My internet at home is broken, so no IRC indefinitely.

Someone over here gave me the thumbs down, and it seems that mudpuppie has left consumating.

hell, I got two thumbs down over there. and I think I'm catching a cold. and the radiators in my house are fucked up (I have amazing commucations technology is my apartment, but a heating system unchanged since the fucking Depression).

I've just been officially reprimanded by my boss for spending too much time on "that chat site" (this one I assume).

Consumating had this weird vibe to it... I ran far away immediately and ate some peaches.

Sorry to hear about all your trouble with your stuff. At least it's stuff trouble... stuff you can always throw in a bonfire when you decide it's time to live on a mountainside in northern california and raid peaceful communities for their vittles.

I've been vaguely grumpy for the last few days for no apparent reason. Does grumping count as whining?

Hey, I win, I got 4 thumbs down. Anyways, I just joined up to give y'all a thumbs up... will it take away my thumbs up for you guys if I pull my profile?

Oh yeah, whining: I have too much work to do and I am in that overwhelmed scary procrastinatory place where the only answer to too much work is to do none. It's the freeze reflex I get sometimes. I'm scared...

well, your tags were at least amusing. all I got was 'beer' 'heelarious' and 'beerlarious,' which I guess means that I look like an amusing drunk.
posted by jonmc 19 January | 15:11
So, what you're saying is that they were accurate?
posted by gaspode 19 January | 15:16
well, 'hawt' or 'sexy' would've been nice for a change, but I doomed to go through life as comedy relief, I suppose.

I guess there's just not a lot of whiney feeling people right now.

I had trader joes' sushi for lunch today and the ginger it came with was all icky and gray!!!

My office smells like deisel fumes!!!

I need to do laundry but I hate having to go and get quarters for the goddamn coin op machine in the basement!!!

Well at least your somewhat popular. I'm sitting at 2061, tragically.

Are you looking for a new car or a used car? Do you have any cash to buy one? Are you looking for a specific model? The best deals will be private party, especially if you're flexible about what you'll buy.

I have so much to whine about, I can't think of anything to say.

As for consummating, after I saw a second person I recognized, I decided I didn't want my picture to be there anymore. I couldn't figure out how to delete the profile, though (they make it impossible, and there's no Help feature I could find), so I just replaced all my pictures.

It also occurred to me that any stranger could put my username and the metachat tag together and find out a lot more about me than I want them to know. I'm fine with y'all knowing all my deep dark secrets, but that's because I like you.


Sorry to derail. Things will pick up, sasshat. They will.

(Oh, and I only joined to give y'all thumbs-up too. Then I relized I didn't like being judged negatively by strangers. Realized I don't need that kind of shit in my life right now. I have plenty of shit already, thankyouverymuch.)

I'll admit it, it was me what added "beerlarious"

I paid $10.30 for a turkey sandwich at lunch. It was just ok.

$10.30? I hope they threw in a blowjob.

jonmc: This is the whining thread not the exclaiming joy thread.

I know what you mean, mudpuppie. Although my username is different there. Still, if Mr. 41-cute-and-smart hasn't written me back in a week or two, I'll probably take it down too.

2 people over there gave me the thumbs down. Tuesday I arrived home from work to find a half inch of water in the garage, due to a dead water heater. I ate the leftovers in the fridge after cleaning up the water. The leftovers gave me food poisoning, and I spent yesterday in the throes of protozoan-induced madness. Oh, and today the webdevelopers claim they require Wildcard DNS (that I had disabled) in order to do thier jobs. I am tempted to ask what other sloppy, lazy, cheap-ass hacks they also require in order to function. Apparently it's all my fault.

I'm pretty certain the $10.30 turkey sammich comes from the Sodomy Deli, not the Fellatio Cafe.

Blinkin: This never would have happened if your father was alive.
Robin Hood: He's dead?
Blinkin: Yes.
Robin Hood: And my mother?
Blinkin: She died of pneumonia while - oh, you were away!
Robin Hood: My three brothers?
Blinkin: Died of the plague.
Robin Hood: My dog Pongo?
Blinkin: Run over by a carriage.
Robin Hood: My goldfish Goldie?
Blinkin: Eaten by the cat.
Robin Hood: My cat?
Blinkin: Choked on the goldfish. Oh, it's good to be home, ain't it, Master Robin?

I didn't get the job I interviewed for, but I didn't want it anyway: it was $10 an hour, no commission, no bennies, no nothing, and it didn't even start for two months. But I had to dress up for it anyway and wear my stupid ladylike pumps that hurt my feet. Bah.

I'm broke and lonely and I got three thumbs down over there, but I also got a lot of nice happy tags, so I'm cheerful enough about it.
posted by mygothlaundry 19 January | 17:42
I, for my part, have given each and every one of you a tag...sweet ones or else things that make me chuckle. :)
posted by SassHat 19 January | 17:43
My Consummating rating actually went up after I changed my picture to Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel.

I think we all deserve a trip to the Fellatio Barn.

I'm tired of clever people. Or people that think they're being clever when they are really not.

Why are my ears burning.

I think we all deserve a trip to ...

Afterwards, we'll get drinks at Cafe Llatio!

Obligatory Thread-topical whine: Why can't I ever tell when I've crossed the line with my bawdy jokes until it's too late?
posted by Triode 19 January | 20:06
It's Raining, not from me. Nope, I was whining about people in my office.
posted by fenriq 19 January | 20:09
Just a joke at my own expense, fenriq. I promised myself I was going to start a little vacation from the Internet today, but couldn't resist snarking on MetaTalk. Now another day's over, and I haven't done a damn thing. Going to have to cut off a finger or two before this is all over, I 'spect.
posted by It's Raining Florence Henderson 19 January | 20:19
good luck with that.
