THIS IS A WHINING THREAD→[More:]WAH WAH WAH I DON'T WANT TO BE BACK TO WORK!
IT'S GOING TO SNOW HERE TOMORROW AND I HAVE TO WALK TO THE STATION AND BACK WITH A RUCKSACK FULL OF FILES. But I did buy a pair of these (without the velcro strap) recently from Tchibo for £2.99 in the sale, so will get them out tonight in case it's icy tomorrow.
IT WAS 19 DEGREES F WHILE I WAS ON THE TRAIN PLATFORM THIS MORNING! WE WERE JUST IN THE 70S A FEW DAYS AGO! AND THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY CAR FROZE AND WOULDN'T DISENGAGE SO I HAD TO ASK A NEIGHBOR FOR A RIDE TO THE TRAIN STATION!
IT IS SORT OF COLD HERE TODAY. IT WAS IN THE 70s OVER THE WEEKEND. SHOULD BE IN THE 70s THIS COMING WEEKEND. I DON'T LIKE COLD WEATHER. I ALSO DON'T LIKE BEING BACK AT THE OFFICE. I DON'T THINK MGMNT WILL APPRECIATE MY NEW SIESTA HABIT.
GAH, TELL ME ABOUT IT RAINBABY! I'M ON A SELF-IMPOSED NO CHOCOLATE AND CRISPS BAN FOR AT LEAST A MONTH. I WANT TO BE THINNER NOW! NOW! STUPID NEED-TO-DO-EXERCISE METABOLISM!
woo essexjan, you'll lurve those, yaktrax are kickass! I wore a set whilst hiking on Monday - the mister and I hiked about 3 miles to a good set of XC ski trails then skate-skiied for about three hours and NOW I AM SORE AS HELL AND CAN BARELY WALK AND TRYING TO PRETEND LIKE I'M NOT GETTING TOO OLD FOR THIS NONSENSE, WAAAHH!!
I AM ALSO BACK AT WORK AND TRYING TO LOOK BUSY WHILE BEING BORED AND DOING MAKEWORK. MY COLLEAGUES IN THE IT SECTOR ARE ACTING EXTRA SPECIAL CRAZY THIS MORNING AND I WANT TO BE OVER THERE LAUGHING AND GIGGLING AND CUTTING UP WITH THEM!! BOO SILLY COLLEAGUES FOR MAKING ME FEEL LEFT OUT!!
I WANT A CIGARETTE SO BAD I COULD GO ON A THREE STATE KILLING SPREE. THE PATCH IS ITCHY, AND THIS MORNING IT FROZE TO MY SKIN WHILE WALKING TO THE SUBWAY. THIS SUCKS.
tangerine, I'm so sorry we didn't get to meet up in LG, but the logistics never worked right; complications included but were not limited to: we didn't rent our own car so were dependent on others for transport, a five-year-old and attendant grandparents who insisted in going on all excursions, and my sometimes-delightfully-crazy, sometimes-annoying-as-hell spoiled princess of a sister-in-law... all of whom came down with the same nasty head cold on Xmas Day, which thankfully I seem to be dodging thus far.
anyway, thanks for trying, I'm sure to be back out there at some point!
Oh, I'm sorry too, lfr. Not surprising; I rarely manage to squeak out time to do other stuff during family visits. But I might even be out your way sometime in the next few months.
WHY DON'T PEOPLE REALIZE THAT "I WOULD LIKE TO RSVP" IS NOT A STATEMENT THAT ACTUALLY LETS ME KNOW WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE PLANNING ON ATTENDING THE EVENT? "RSVP" DOES NOT MEAN "YES" OR "PUT ME DOWN" OR "WOULDN'T MISS IT!" OR "THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME AND I WILL BE PLEASED TO ATTEND." IT DOES NOT!
DON'T MAKE ME HAVE TO SIT THERE ON THE PHONE IN AWKWARD SILENCE WONDERING IF YOU'RE GOING TO FOLLOW UP WITH SOME ACTUAL INFORMATION WHILE I FIGURE OUT A WAY TO SPUR YOU INTO SUCH A DISCLOSURE WITHOUT BEING RUDE OR MAKING EITHER OF US FEEL STUPID. I HATE THAT.
I DON'T WANNA TO BE IN LA, I WANNA BE IN VIRGINIA.
MY EYE STILL DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT BUT DOESN'T FIT THE SYMPTOMS OF "DRY" EYE, WHICH DESCRIBE CONSTANTLY LEAKING TEARS...MY ISSUE IS THAT THERE ARE NO TEARS AND DROPS DON'T REALLY HELP.
