THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD→[More:]WHY IS STUPID GMAIL NOT WORKING PROPERLY? WHY DOES IT NOT LOAD UNLESS I MESS WITHE URL? IT'S DRIVING ME BANANAS!
WHY HAVE I LOST MY MAH-JONGG-FU? I CANNOT WIN A GAME ANY MORE!
AND I HAVE BEEN MADE THE 'DEDICATED CASEHANDLER' FOR THE COMPLAINANT FROM HELL UNDER A NEW POLICY AT WORK.
AND WE HAD A TEAM LUNCH TODAY AND WE HAD TO PRE-ORDER AND FOR SOME REASON I ORDERED MOUSSAKA WHEN I DON'T EVEN REALLY LIKE IT AND IT WASN'T VERY NICE AT ALL AND I WISHED I'D ORDERED THE STEAK SANDWICH AND BIG FAT FLUFFY/CRISPY FRIES THAT LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAD WHICH LOOKED MUCH, MUCH TASTIER. AND THE RESTAURANT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A DESSERT MENU! WTF??!! I COULD NOT EVEN COMFORT MYSELF FOR MY BAD CHOICE OF FOOD WITH A PIECE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE OR SOME ICE CREAM!
AND TOMORROW I HAVE TO GO ON A MIND-NUMBINGLY BORING COURSE WHICH IS ABOUT TRUSTS AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT, THINGS I HAVE NO INTEREST IN WHATSOEVER.
But on the plus side I am not back in the office until Monday and I am meeting Wilder for lunch tomorrow.
AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MY HEALTH INSURANCE WORKS AND HOW THE CLAIMS THEY KEEP SENDING ME ARE LAID OUT AND I KINDA WISH SOMEONE WOULD EXPLAIN IT TO ME USING SMALL WORDS.
I FEEL YOUR PAIN RE: HEALTH INSURANCE; I THINK THEY PREFER TO KEEP YOU IN THE DARK SO THEY CAN HIT YOU WITH BILLS FOR UNREIMBURSED AMOUNTS UNEXPECTEDLY.
I WENT TO THE DENTIST THIS MORNING TO GET MY TMJ NIGHTGUARD ADJUSTED AND NOW I WILL HAVE A HEADACHE ALL DAY FROM ALL OF THAT MESSING WITH MY JAW THAT THE DENTIST DID. I AM SO SICK OF HEADACHES.
I HAVE ZERO FOCUS WHEN IT COMES TO READING INSTRUCTIONS. I JUST TRIED TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON A CRAYOLA TOY. YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT I WAS READING ABOUT QUANTUM MECHANICS. THE BRAIN GOES NUMB. NEED MORE COFFEE!
I JUST UNKNOWINGLY MADE A POTATO SALAD SANDWICH! TOO MANY THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT ONCE! MY MULTITASK PROCESSOR IS OVERLOADED! FIREFOX THINKS THE WORD "MULTITASK" IS NOT ACTUALLY A WORD!
I HAVE NO CURRENT MOTIVATION! NONE AT ALL! AFTER 8 YEARS OF BEING SUPER MOTIVATED AND RESPONSIBLE, I SEEM TO BE REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING USEFUL AT ALL! I WANT IT TO STOP, NOW, AND I AM NOT SURE HOW TO DO IT! I THOUGHT EXERCISE WOULD HELP BUT IT ISN'T! IT'S NOT EVEN SHOWING UP AS CHANGES TO MY BODY, EVEN THOUGH I AM LIFTING WEIGHTS FOR 40 MINUTES / DAY & YOGA ON ALTERNATE DAYS! AND WALKING EVERYWHERE! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
WHY DID YOU PEOPLE VOTE IN A TOWNSHIP SUPERVISOR AS AUDITOR?!?!? I DON'T CARE HOW HONEST HE SEEMS OR CLAIMS TO BE, THAT IS NOT HOW GOV'T IS SUPPOSED TO WORK!!!!!
BUT MY CANDIDATE WON HER SUPERVISOR SPOT BY SEVEN VOTES. YAY! I'M GLAD I CARTED MY SICKLY AND DISEASED BOD TO THE POLLS. IT MADE A DIFFERENCE.
YEA AND ANOTHER THING: YESTERDAY WAS ELECTION DAY AND I TOTALLY FORGOT, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE REMINDER FROM THE GOVERNMENT ON MY FRIDGE. SO I DIDN'T VOTE FOR WHATEVER NEEDED VOTING ON. I BLAME THE 100+ BLOGS I READ EVERY DAY; IT WOULD HAVE KILLED ONE OF THEM TO REMIND ME?
I'M GETTING A COLD BUT I HAVE TO BE HEALTHY BY FRIDAY NIGHT AND I'M REALLY AFRAID THAT INSTEAD MY COLD WILL WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT TO HIT AND RENDER ME REALLY SICK FOR THE WEEKEND. I'M ALL PANICKY AND WEIRDED OUT FOR NO REAL REASON TOO. AND I'M SUPER BUSY AT WORK AND IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY AND ON TOP OF IT ALL WHEN I REARRANGED MY OFFICE ON MONDAY I DROPPED MY MONITOR ON MY KEYBOARD AND THAT WAS THE END OF THAT KEYBOARD - NOW I HAVE THIS GIANT HORRIBLE ANCIENT KEYBOARD PROBABLY FROM LIKE MESOPOTAMIA OR MAYBE IT ONCE BELONGED TO YETIS. THE SPACE BAR DOESN'T WORK UNLESS I SLAM IT REALLY HARD WITH MY THUMBS. I AM GETTING SORE THUMBS!!
OMG TPS I FORGOT TO VOTE TOO AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I NEVER FORGET TO VOTE AND I FEEL REALLY HORRIBLE ABOUT IT AND A REPUBLICAN GOT IN ON CITY COUNCIL AND I FEEL LIKE IT WAS ALL MY FAULT!
AFTER A WEEK OF GENERAL 'MEH'NESS AND A FEW DAYS OF PROFOUND DEPRESSION MY PLACE IS A DISASTER! I'M PULLING OUT OF THE FUNK, BUT EVERY TIME I LOOK AROUND AT WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET IT BACK INTO SHAPE I WANT TO RUN AWAY AND HIDE! I'LL BE OKAY--EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT ME TO JUST TACKLE ONE TASK AT A TIME AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL GET DONE--I JUST NEED TO VENT! DAMMATTTT! WHERE IS 'CLEANING CREWS ON WHEELS' WHEN YOU NEED 'EM?!?!?!?!?!
JROSSI4R, IT HAS BEEN NOTED BEFORE, BUT YOU ARE A COMIC FUCKING GENIUS!
Thanks for the kind words folks... if there was something you mechatters could do I'd let you know. I need to breathe and calm down and hope that things will look different tomorrow. Think positive for me.
GRADES ARE DUE FRIDAY MORNING, WHICH REALLY MEANS THURSDAY NIGHT, AND I HAVE BIG UGLY STACKS OF PROJECTS AND TESTS YET TO GRADE, AND OH HOW I WISH IT WAS SUMMER AGAIN WHEN I CAN SLEEP AND WATCH PRICE IS RIGHT AND JUDGE JUDY AND EAT MUNCHOS AND PRETEND I'M A WRITER. PLUS, MY THROAT'S SCRATCHY, MY NOSE IS COLD, AND I DESPERATELY WANT A POTATO SALAD SANDWICH (thanks a lot WolfDaddy).
I HAVE DETERMINED THAT EVERYONE IN MY OFFICE THINKS THE WORD 'OOPS' as in 'oops I made a mistake' IS SPELLED OPPS. WTF? ALSO - IF YOU WANT TO HAVE RULES, HAVE RULES. IF EVERYTHING IS AN EXCEPTION THERE ARE NOT REALLY ANY RULES. OR MAYBE I WORK IN BACKWARDS LAND. BAH!!!!
THE BF BOUGHT CALL OF DUTY 4 LAST NIGHT AND I HAVE BARELY TALKED TO HIM SINCE. I WANNA PLAY.
HOME DEPOT FINALLY GOT AROUND TO RESOLVING MY APPLIANCE ORDER WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE WEEKS AGO!!!!THERE IS ONLY ONE COMPETENT PERSON WHO WORKS THERE!!!
THE OPTHAMOLOGIST TOLD ME YESTERDAY THAT I HAVE STYE(S) UNDER MY LIDS; I DIDN'T THINK THAT COULD HAPPEN!!!!
I RAN INTO THE NEW PH OWNER'S CONTRACTOR BY CHANCE AND HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS SUPPOSED TO LET THE OTHER OWNERS KNOW ABOUT THE RENOVATIONS BEFORE THEY STARTED. I HATE THE DOUBLE STANDARD IN THIS BUILDING!!! GARBAGE DISPOSALS HAVE BEEN LEGAL IN NYC FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS AND THERE IS NOTHING IN THE BUILDING'S BYLAWS THAT SAYS I CAN'T INSTALL ONE, BUT THE SUPER IS CLAIMING I CAN'T...HE ALSO SAID THE SPOILED PRINCE DIDN'T PUT ONE IN---LIKE HE DIDN'T PUT IN AIR CONDITIONING LAST YEAR WHEN ONE OF THE WORKMEN CONFIRMED IT?!!!
IF ONE WANTS TO REMAIN ON GOOD TERMS WITH ANOTHER, DO NOT SAY NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT THAT PERSON'S SIGNIFICANT OTHER/FRIEND WITH BENEFITS/FUCK BUDDY EVEN IF ONE FINDS THAT PERSON ABHORRENT!!!
