SHOUTING THREAD!!! →[More:]SOMEONE GOT INTO OUR BACK GARDEN VIA THE COMMUNAL ALLEY AND STOLE TWO BIKES! AND THE FENCE ISN'T EVEN DAMAGED THOUGH THEY MUST HAVE HAD AN EIGHT-FOOT CLIMB TO GET THEM OUT OF THE GARDEN! THEY WERE INSURED BUT I AM FUMING AND A BIT SCARED AND IF WE GET NEW BIKES THERE'S LITTLE WE CAN DO TO PREVENT IT HAPPENING AGAIN!

ALSO, IT'S THE COLDEST DAY OF THE YEAR SO FAR AND OUR BOILER IS BROKEN! BRRRR!

AND BECAUSE OF ALL THIS STRESS I JUST SHOUTED AT A MAN WHO CAME TO THE DOOR ASKING WHO OUR ELECTRICITY SUPPLIER IS (TRYING TO GET US TO CHANGE) AND I WANT TO GO AFTER HIM AND SAY SORRY, BECAUSE IT'S VERY COLD AND HE'S ONLY DOING HIS JOB!

Not sure if it's the same everywhere, but that "electricity supplier" thing is a scam around here. They do change you, but it costs a whole lot more. So I wouldn't feel too bad about it, he was trying to take your money.

CONFUSED.
DIDN'T HE _____ WITH _____ AND WASN'T SHE _____ AND DIDN'T THEY SAY _____? DID I MISS SOMETHING OR ____?
WOULD COFFEE HELP? WHY AM I SO TIRED?

SORRY ABOUT THE LARCENY, ALTO.

calmed down now. The electricity supplier thing is, sadly, semi-legit here, but I *do not buy things from people offering them door-to-door* because I'm perfectly capable of comparing providers by myself, in my own time, and making my choice. But I think I was a little forceful in my expression of that thought to the freezing man on my doorstep.

YES, ETH, COFFEE WOULD DEFINITELY HELP.

BIKE THIEVES SHOULD BE HORSEWHIPPED!

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU CALL ME AT EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING TO OFFER ME A TEMP JOB AND THEN CALL BACK TO CANCEL THAT SAME JOB TWO MINUTES LATER? YOU ASSHOLES! YOU INTERRUPTED MY GODDAMNED SLEEP FOR THIS BULLSHIT! IF YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP ME PENNED UP IN THE TEMP GHETTO, WITH NO FUTURE, AT LEAST SHOW SOME MINIMAL RESPECT TO MY TIME AND SLEEP! EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE FUCKING MORNING. ONLY HEATHENS AND FUCKING CLUB KIDS ARE AWAKE AT THAT TIME OF THE DAY.

and insomniacs.

I WOKE UP AT 3 AND COULDN'T GO BACK TO SLEEP! NOW I'M CRABBY AND WILL HAVE TO WATCH WHAT I SAY ALL DAY.

PLUS I'M IN AN ARGUMENT WITH MY BEST FRIEND WHICH IS HAPPENING WAY TOO OFTEN THESE DAYS AND WHICH TOTALLY SCREWS WITH MY HEAD!

I'M ANTICIPATING A LOT OF 'OMG YOU CUT YOUR HAIR AND I LOVED IT WAHHHH' AT WORK THIS MORNING AND IT'S ALREADY MAKING ME CRABBY.

AND WHAT IS UP WITH PEOPLE DRIVING 20MPH BECAUSE IT'S ICE-FOGGY? PEOPLE! ICE FOG DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO DRIVE LIKE AN OLD LADY!

I HATE BEING SICK!! THE FLATS I BOUGHT LAST SPRING DON'T MATCH THE DRESS AND FILENES NO LONGER CARRIES THAT BRAND. I'LL HAVE TO WAIT TILL I'M IN LA SO I CAN TRY ON THINGS AT NORDSTROMS. MY AUNT HASN'T REPLIED TO MY EMAIL..SILENCE IS NOT AN ANSWER!!! MY PLACE LOOKS LIKE SHIT AND I DON'T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO CLEAN UP!!! I DON'T KNOW WHY I WOULD STILL WANT SOMEONE WHO FINDS SOMETHING I CAN'T CHANGE --WITHOUT TAKING A DRASTIC MEASURE-- HORRIFYING (AND NO, I DON'T MEAN THE WEIGHT)

IT WOULD BE NICE IF SCHOOL NURSES WOULD ELABORATE ON WHAT KIND OF SICK YOUR KID IS AT SCHOOL! THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPUN AROUND TOO LONG ON THE PLAYGROUND AND GOT SICK AND SPONTANEOUS INFLUENZA SICK!!
