12 December 2006

This is a bad thing/good thing thread. [More:]Bad thing: My phone service (and therefore internet) is out again for the second time in two weeks.

Good thing: I got FOUR Christmas cards in the mail yesterday! Whoo-hoo!!
Good thing: I got through the first big dungeon on Zelda: Twilight Princess. It took a while but I did it.

Bad Thing: For some reason I'm really tired today. It's almost as if I went to bed late last night after a mammoth gaming session.

Bad thing: Been getting loads of spam at work lately.

Good thing: The random dictionary selections in the subject lines are doing wonders for my vocabulary. Today's word is appanage.

Bad thing: It's dark
Good thing: This job ends Friday

Good Thing: The guy I'm dating thinks I'm nice, goodlooking, smart and funny...

Bad Thing: Apparently that's not enought for him... 'cause he just wanna be by himself...

Good thing: I just got an 11% raise this week, after months of negotiations and waiting.

Bad thing: Job still just as stressful, and now I can no longer bitch about low pay and have any credibility.

Good Thing: Home from work today due to my bum ankle.

Bad Thing: I got bored around 7:15am, and now I have a long day of boredom ahead of me, due to my bum ankle.

Bad thing: I need to make a doctor appointment for an annual physical and to get an oddity checked out, and it's triggering my phobia and making me all twitchy.

Good thing: New boyfriend to deliver hugs and cuddles to help with the twitchiness.

Good thing: Bears win! Bears win!

Bad thing: My MeCha fantasy team didn't even make the consolation round of the playoffs - first time ever I've missed any sort of playoffs.

Good Thing: I got my mother a Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress for Xmas this morning at a sample sale. Yay cheap designer things!

Bad Thing: No bad things! Tomorrow night I leave for FL! Yaaay!

Good thing: I'm making 10-bean soup for supper. It's so pretty!

Bad thing: I had to go spend hours cleaning up the apartment after our tenants finally left - the ones who wouldn't pay the rent. And who play darts, apparently, so money must be spent to redo the walls, plus to pay their electric and water bills which they also didn't pay. That place and those people have been such a thorn in my side.

Ah - also the building fees - months, probably (for shared costs). Lots of paying to do for the tenants who didn't pay.

Bad thing: rainbaby is just going to kick my ass again.

(taz, that's what lawyers are for. Put a judgement on their credit, and they will ALWAYS remember you.)

Bad thing: I have a sore throat.

Good thing: I used it to play hooky from a meeting and from the gym, and am taking a much needed chill and putter-around day. With chai!

Good thing: 4 international bunny cards have arrived in the last two days - some of which were only posted 4 days ago.

Bad thing: I'm almost 2 weeks late delivering a piece of work, we've got a "team build" tomorrow so that's another day lost and I'm *really* tired after not getting enough sleep last night. Really, in a team of 6 who all know each other well, honestly and truthfully, what's the point of multiple "ice breakers" in team builds?

Bad: I have to wear a wrist brace for carpel tunnel in my left wrist.

Good: The anti-inflammatory I'm taking for a mucked up rotator cuff (also my left arm!) is working.

Bad: I had to queue for half an hour to get postage stamps yesterday.

Good: All my cards got mailed and I got six cards (three bunny cards) in the mail!
posted by deborah 12 December | 13:18
Good: pestle, mortar, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, fennel seeds, pinch of salt, grind spices, pour onto couscous, add boiling water, stir, leave. YUM!

Bad: OMFG, how much money have I spent already this month?
posted by TheDonF 12 December | 13:41
Good: Six weeks of accumulated vacation days, paid in full when I get laid off at the end of the month.

Bad: I am powerful 'fraid they're going to reneg on that, and I'll be seriously screwed.
posted by occhiblu 12 December | 13:45
Good: Christmas break starts a week from Friday... 10 days! Yay!

Bad: One of my brothers is in the hospital with severe abdominal pain. They're not sure if it's his Crohn's acting up or his gallbladder.
posted by Pips 12 December | 14:06
Good: I'm about to go on vacation. Also, I just found out I'm getting a promotion into a more interesting job with loads of development potential both at my current company and out in the big wide world, and a lot more pay (like 25% more, the biggest jump in salary I've ever had), and it's a fairly stable position in a time when things are a bit iffy and just everything.

Bad: My shoulder hurts a little.

I think I'll go rub some MONEY on it.
posted by PinkStainlessTail 12 December | 14:30
Good thing: It's only a day and a half until my holiday.

Bad thing: I have to clean this flat and pack when I get home from our office party tomorrow afternoon.

Extra good thing: Lots of bunny cards have arrived from America and Canada. Oh, and England too.

Good: I'm feeling a lot better than I did yesterday (I hurt my neck and my right hand and my tummy hurt and I was a MESS).

Bad: I'm still not feeling 100% and I think the only cure is VACATION. Hurry, tomorrow night!
posted by ThePinkSuperhero 12 December | 16:04
Good thing: My sore throat is better. My cards are mailed (most of them, anyway- I had to get more!) I've gotten several cards (scurius rocks).

Bad thing: My cold has moved up into my nose. I'm still achy. And I really have to go to work tomorrow.
