THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD ABOUT BAD THINGS!→[More:]WHY ARE NONE OF MY CELEBS GAINING POINTS IN THE CELEB PICK LEAGUE? I KNOW THEY'RE DOING STUFF; WHY ISN'T THE INDEX DOING STORIES ON THEM??? COME ON!!!!!
I'M JOINING GASPODE ON THE DISGRUNTLED BUS!! IT'S TIME TO GET OUT OF GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING, I THINK. I'M FED UP AND AGGRAVATED AND HATE GETTING OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING!!
I'M WAY TOO SKILLED AND TALENTED TO WASTE AWAY AT THIS JOB ANYMORE.
SEE, THAT'S WHAT I'VE HEARD, DAF- BUT THE INDEX APPEARS TO BE 2-3 BEHIND THE EARLY BUZZ. I'M HOPING THE JEN/VINCE STORY WILL HIT THE INDEX AFTER TODAY, BECAUSE I HAVE VINCE ON MY TEAM AS OF MIDNIGHT TONIGHT :-d
MY HAIR HAS DEFLATED. THAT WAS FAST. WHY DO I BOTHER DOING MY HAIR AND MAKEUP WHEN IT MAKES SO LITTLE DIFFERENCE? well, that's obvious.
GODDAMN INTEL CHIPS.
GODDAMN FISH AND CHIPS.
NOW PARDON ME AS I STRANGLE THE PART OF ME WHAT TALKS ABOUT THINGS THAT MATTER.
IT IS BOTH GOOD & BAD. IT'S GOOD FOR ME BUT IT WILL BE BAD IF IT MAKES ME FINALLY GO COMPLETELY POSTAL AND ON AN INSANE SHOOTING SPREE WHEREBY I TAKE OUT MOST OF DOWNTOWN. WHICH FRANKLY SOUNDS EXCELLENT RIGHT NOW. WITHOUT NICOTINE I'M NOT A VERY NICE PERSON.
WHY CAN'T I SLEEP?!?! I'M USUALLY SUCH A GOOD SLEEPER! BUT I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE FALLING ASLEEP, AND WORSE: HAVING TROUBLE STAYING ASLEEP! I'M SO NOT A MORNING PERSON, AND THIS IS MAKING IT REALLY REALLY HORRIBLE.
I HATE COMING BACK TO WORK AFTER TAKING TIME OFF. AND THE SNOW AND OTHER WINTER CRAP HERE SUCKS. AND AS MUCH AS I NOW WANT TO MOVE TO PORTLAND, I DON'T SEE HOW I COULD RIGHT NOW.
I HAVE A STRANGE PAIN IN MY SHOULDERS/NECK THAT IS NOT PILLOW INDUCED BUT PROBABLY TENSION INDUCED. MY ADMIN WORKPLACE HAS LET ME BE HOME THE LAST 3 DAYS TO CATCH UP ON MY OVERDUE FREELANCE STUFF WHICH THEY KNOW IS IMPORTANT TO ME. I KNOW I AM VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH UNDERSTANDING JOE JOB WORK, BUT I HAVE SQUANDERED THE TIME! WAH!
I'M NOT A MORNING PERSON EITHER. I HATE MORNINGS. IF THERE WAS FLEXITIME AT WORK, I'D TAKE IT. ALSO I'VE PUT ON LOADS OF WEIGHT RECENTLY AND THERE'S ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS UNTIL THE CARB-FEST THAT IS CHRISTMAS.
I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE EMAIL YOU AND THEN DON'T RESPOND WHEN YOU'VE REPLIED BACK TO THEM. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?! TALK ABOUT PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE MANIPULATION. AND WHY OH WHY DID I RESPOND?! grrrr.
IT IS HARD TO BE THE BIG SISTER. YOU GET ACCUSED OF BEING BOSSY, BUT IF YOU DON'T TAKE CHARGE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO AND EVERYTHING DISSOLVES INTO AN ENDLESS STRING OF "WHAT SHOULD WE DO" PHONE CALLS.
WELL I'M NOT TELLING YOU! YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN THIS YEAR. I'M TAKING OFF. SINK OR SWIM, FUCKERS.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN, ONLY I FEEL THE PAIN MORESO WITH MY FRIENDS! I SPOLIED THEM FOR SO LONG AS THE SOCIAL CO-ORDINATOR AND FINALLY GOT FED UP WITH THE LACK OF APPRECIATION AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT 'WHY DO WE HAVE TO GO TO THIS RESTAURANT INSTEAD OF THAT ONE?' I KEPT MOSTLY SILENT THIS YEAR IN PROTEST AND NOW IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE GETTING TOGETHER AT ALL. WHICH IS FINE. I'LL MAKE PLANS WITH THE FRIENDS WHO MAKE AN EFFORT TO KEEP IN TOUCH. SCREW THE ONES WHO ARE TOO LAZY TO CARE.
Thanks halonine and phoenixc! It's rare to find people who know what I'm talking about. (Being the oldest of 5 is seriously akin to being the CEO of a mid-sized corporation.)
