THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD! MY POCKET WAS PICKED TODAY!→[More:]I WAS IN ASDA (OWNED BY WAL*MART) NEAR WORK THIS LUNCHTIME AND SOMEBODY STOLE MY GLASSES CASE AND MY LOVELY JAI KUDO SPECS.

I HAD CHANGED INTO MY PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES FOR THE WALK DOWN THERE BUT DIDN'T CHANGE THEM BACK WHEN I WENT INTO ASDA AS I WAS ONLY GOING TO BE IN THERE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. AS I WAS WAITING TO PAY FOR MY SHOPPING I NOTICED IT WAS CLOUDY AND PUT MY HAND IN MY POCKET TO GET MY GLASSES SO I COULD CHANGE THEM OVER AND THEY WERE GONE.

I KNOW I DIDN'T LOSE THEM AND WHEN I REPORTED IT TO SO-CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE THERE WAS ANOTHER CUSTOMER REPORTING THAT HIS WALLET WAS MISSING, SO I KNOW I WAS 'DIPPED'.

THE ONLY GOOD THING IS THAT MY PURSE (WALLET TO YOU USA-IANS) WAS IN MY OTHER POCKET WITH MY MONEY AND DEBIT CARD IN IT AND THE THIEF DIDN'T TAKE THAT.

I LOOKED EVERYWHERE ROUND THE PLACE TO SEE IF MY GLASSES HAD BEEN DUMPED ONCE THE THIEF RELALISED THEY WERE USELESS BUT THEY HAD NOT.

MY GLASSES WERE VERY EXPENSIVE BECAUSE OF THE LENSES. I MAY BE ABLE TO CLAIM ON MY HOUSEHOLD INSURANCE, BUT EVEN SO IT IS UPSETTING AND I AM HAVING TO WEAR MY SUNGLASSES UNTIL I GET HOME NOW, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THICK CLOUD AND LOOKS AS IF MIGHT RAIN AND PEOPLE IN THE OFFICE ARE GIVING ME STRANGE LOOKS.

THAT SUCKS ESSEXJAN I'M SO SORRY GAAAH!

I'M FORCING MYSELF TO GO TO THAT DEPT STORE I NEVER FIND ANYTHING AT BECAUSE THERE IS A SALE AND I HAVE AN EMPTY CARD THERE BECAUSE I GUESS I NEED WORK CLOTHES. I HAVE PASSED MY HOME SELF QUIZZES ON THE TESTING THING (I GO FRIDAY) AND I AM EVEN STRESSING ABOUT THE BACKGROUND CHECK EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NO BACKGROUND OF PUBLIC RECORD!

I'M SPENDING MY VACATION WAITING AND WISHING AND HOPING TO GO BACK TO WORK, IT'S INSAAAAAANE!

THAT STINKS, JAN!

I GOT AN E-MAIL FROM CARNIVAL FOR CRUISE SALES AND I GOT A GREAT IDEA THAT MY SISTERS AND I SHOULD GO ON A CRUISE BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND I GOT ALL EXCITED, AND THEN I FOUND OUT MY SISTERS HAVE EXAMS THE DAY WE WOULD GO AND EVERYONE HAS TO BE 21 AND MY YOUNGEST SISTER IS ONLY 20 AND NOW WE CAN'T GO ON THE CRUISE. BOOOOOOOOOO.

THERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS THOUGH - EVEN THOUGH I HAD A 6-WEEK BREAK FROM WORK IN MAY/JUNE WHEN I HAD SURGERY, OUR HALF-YEAR END FIGURES SHOW THAT I AM THE TOP PERFORMER IN MY TEAM AND HAVE ACHIEVED CASE CLOSURES OF 186.4% OF TARGET.

BOOO TO JAN'S FIRST POST! HOORAY TO HER SECOND!

IF ONE MORE PERSON ASKS IF THIS PREGNANCY WAS PLANNED, I WILL BUNCH THEM IN THE BABYMAKER. I'VE BEEN FUCKIN' FOR 20 YEARS, PEOPLE! I KNOW HOW THE PROCESS WORKS. IF I DIDN'T GET ACCIDENTALLY KNOCKED UP IN MY WILD YOUTH, IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN NOW.

ARGH! I WAS 12 MINUTES INTO MY WORK DAY WHEN I REALIZED I WAS DONE WITH WORK AND HAD NO IDEA HOW I WAS GOING TO MAKE THROUGH THE NEXT TOO MANY HOURS! I STILL MIGHT BLOW OFF THE AFTERNOON AND GO HOME AND GOOF OFF!

JAN, THAT TOTALLY SUCKS! I HAD A FUCKWIT BREAK INTO MY CAR ONCE AND STEAL MY SPARE CHANGE, SOME CASSETTES (THIS WAS A WHILE AGO!) AND MY $400 PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES! MORONS!

WAY TO GO ON THE GOOD WORK AT WORK THOUGH! THAT USUALLY MAKES WORK A LITTLE MORE BEARABLE!

ON MY WORST DAYS I HOPE TO GET MUGGED, 'CUZ I FIGURE I'LL MUG MY MUGGER, WHO WILL INVARIABLY HAVE MORE CASH THAN I DO!

WE HAVE EIGHT MOUNTAINS OF LAUNDRY TO DO (MUCH OF IT STILL IN SUITCASES FROM VEGAS). AND I FELL ASLEEP AT 9:30 LAST NIGHT, AND I'M STILL TIRED. ALMOST SLEPT THROUGH MY STOP.

(THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR, EJ... YOU'LL HAVE TO MOVE TO VEGAS! : )

WHAT THE SMEG! WHAT KIND OF SOCIAL DEGENERATE WOULD ASK THAT KIND OF QUESTION? DO THEY ACTUALLY EXPECT AN HONEST ANSWER? I DON'T THINK I COULD RESIST THE URGE TO MAKE UP SOME STORY ABOUT IT BEING THE RESULT OF A RAPE AND THE DA WAS MAKING YOU CARRY IT TO TERM FOR EVIDENCE PURPOSES.

THIS APPLE IS REALLY, REALLY GOOD! WHY CAN'T ALL APPLES TASTE THIS WAY? WHY DO I KEEP TYPING "APPLIES" INSTEAD OF "APPLES" CAUSING ME TO GO BACK AND CORRECT IT SO THAT PEOPLE WILL KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?

I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR GLASSES EJ AND HOORAH, YOU MUST BE THE BESTEST ATTORNEY IN ALL THE LAND! :)

AND NOW I HAVE GOT A FUCKING HEADACHE FROM WEARING MY OLD GLASSES.

BUT MY NEW GLASSES (EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ONES THAT WERE STOLEN) SHOULD BE HERE BY MONDAY (I THINK THEY NEED TO GRIND DOWN THE LENS ON THE HUBBEL TELESCOPE TO FIT THE FRAME, I AM SO SHORT-SIGHTED) AND I SPOKE TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY WILL PAY FOR EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE £50 EXCESS ON THE POLICY.

Crazy, isn't it Mitheral? Pregnancy makes you public property in a way. People think they can get all up in your business.

HOPE YOU GET NEW GLASSES SOON, JAN!

posted by jrossi4r 04 October | 12:28

THAT SUCKS EJ! YOU COULD TELL PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING AT YOU FUNNY FOR WEARING DARK GLASSES IN CLOUDY WEATHER THAT YOU HAVE TO, OTHERWISE YOUR LASERLAWYER EYES WOULD KILL THEM TO A CRISP! THAT WOULD BE GREAT!

I HOPE YOUR HOMEOWNER INSURANCE COVERS IT AND YOU CAN GET SOME SNAZZY NEW LENSES SOON!
