SHOUTING THREAD! [More:]I WANT MY ECONOMIC STIMULUS CHECK! ALL THIS CHECK TALK MAKES ME WANT WANT WANT! IT'S TUESDAY! IT'S RAINING! LA LA LA LA!
IT'S THE FIRST CLEAR DAY SINCE SATURDAY AND I'M GETTING READY TO HEAD TO WORK BUT NOW THERE ARE NASTY DARK CLOUDS ON THE HORIZON AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA RAIN OR WHAT! I LOOK AT FORECASTS ONLINE AND ENVIRONMENT CANADA SAYS ONE THING (cloudy but rain unlikely) AND THE WEATHER NETWORK SAYS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT (gonna rain all week)! IT'LL PROBABLY START RAINING AS SOON AS I GET THERE AND I'LL HAVE TO TURN AROUND AND GO HOME! BLEAH! STUPID STUPID RAIN! I'VE GOT RENT TO PAY, PEOPLE! AND IT'D BE NICE IF I COULD FINISH THIS JOB BEFORE I LEAVE THE ISLAND FER CHRISSAKES!

WHY WON'T THAT DUDE CALL ME BACK! THIS ALL NEEDS TO GET TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE THE FEDEX GUY SHOWS UP, in EEEEEP 4 HOURS!

AFTER A LONG WEEKEND THAT WENT BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE POSSIBLY IMAGINED, I STILL DON'T KNOW IF HE LOVES ME!! MY HEART CAN'T TAKE THE STRAIN MUCH LONGER!
posted by Melismata 29 April | 11:37
IT IS RAINING! STAYED UP 'TIL 3 A.M. WRITING A PAPER, ALMOST FINISHED IT BEFORE MY EYES FELL SHUT! WOKE UP WITH ENTIRELY NEW AND BETTER IDEA FOR ORGANIZING THE PAPER, WHICH MEANS RIPPING IT APART AND RE-STRUCTURING!

WHY CAN'T YOU BE SATISFIED, BRAIN? SHUT UP AND LET ME BE!

STUPID BRAIN. SHOWOFF.

i am very unhappy and it sure looks like it's time to change my mefi and flickr profile pages back to untaken, alone, solitary and likely to remain so forever, world without end. i hate this and the uncertainty and not knowing just makes it worse and worse and worse. i should have known that nothing good could last.

WTF MGL?!?!?!??!?!!!!! ((((MAJOR MASSIVE HUGS AND WHUFFLES)))))
posted by chewatadistance 29 April | 11:46
Aw, I'm sorry to hear that MGL.




BUT YET I AM FILLED WITH UNCEASING RAGE AT MY FUCKED UP MOTHER AND HER ABILITY TO ACTIVELY 'NOT LOVE' HER CHILDREN. WHAT IS 'NOT LOVE', YOU MAY ASK? IT'S NOT EXACTLY HATE, BUT IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE, AND YOU PRACTICE IT ON THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO YOU. NAMELY, MY MOTHER IS BORING THROUGH MY TWO FRAGILE SISTERS WITH HER NOT LOVE RAYS OF SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS, NON-APPROVAL, DISRESPECT AND RAGING ALCOHOL-FUELED SELFISHNESS!!!!!!!!!

Man, TMI?

(((MGL))), I am so sorry to hear this.

I CAN'T REALLY YELL ABOUT ANYTHING. EXCEPT I HAVE TO GO FOR AN OUTPATIENT PROCEDURE IN A LITTLE BIT AND I AM A LITTLE UNCERTAIN ABOUT THE RECOVERY. I DON'T KNOW IF WE GOT OUR STIMULUS CHECK BECAUSE OUR BANK WEBSITE IS DOWN. IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THIS SURGERY IS GOING TO BE AT LEAST 800 DOLLARS AND I HAVEN'T MET MY BIG DEDUCTIBLE. SO I GUESS THE CHECK WILL BE PAYING FOR THAT.
posted by LoriFLA 29 April | 12:12
Oh, MGL, so sorry.

And msali, oof.

Actually, hugs to everyone, me included. I need a fucking hug.
posted by Stewriffic 29 April | 12:17
I'M SORRY, MGL, THAT SUCKS!

I HAVE TO GO OUT AND BUY LUNCH IN THE RAIN. I HAVE A BUNCH OF SURGERIES TO DO AND THE FUCKING MEDICAL FELLOW WHO SAID HE WOULD BE ALL DONE BY ONE NOW SAYS HE WILL BE DONE BY THREE. WHICH MEANS THAT I AM NOT GOING TO LEAVE WORK UNTIL AT LEAST 7 OR 8PM. FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!

I LEFT THE NOTE FOR THE SUPER THAT NO ONE COULD COME IN AND TOOK THE PHONE OFF THE HOOK, BUT THE INTERCOM WORKS ON DIFFERENT WIRING AND I'M HEARING THE BEEPS WHEN HE TRIES TO CALL. I'LL LET YOU IN WHEN I'M DAMN GOOD AND READY. THE BEDROOMS AND HALLWAY STILL NEED TO BE STRAIGHTENED AND THE MASTER BEDROOM IS TOO OVERWHELMING. PLUS, MICE GOT INTO MY TOWELS BUT IF I COME DOWNSTAIRS TO DO LAUNDRY I'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE SUPER.

Aw, MGL and msali. I'm sorry you're having rough times. I send big squishy hugs to you both.

My life is one big, neverending shouting thread. "NO BABY! WE DON'T THROW TOYS INTO THE FISH TANK. Good boy. Thank you. NO! WE DON'T STAND ON TOP OF THE DOLLHOUSE. GET DOWN. NO...I SAID DOWN. DOWNDOWNDOWNDOWNDOWN. GET DOWN. Good boy. Thank you. NO! DO NOT PLAY WITH THE TV! IT COULD FALL AND HURT YOU! NO! NO FIREPLACE POKER! Where did that even come from? We put that stuff away ages ago. PUT THAT DOWN! DOWNDOWNDOWNDOWNDOWN! And what are you chewing on? What is that, like, half a superball? Where did that come from? SPIT IT OUT! OUTOUTOUTOUTOUT! Why don't you just play toys, OK? That's a good boy. Play toys. NO BABY! WE DON'T THROW TOYS INTO THE FISH TANK!!"

I've heard a lot in the news about this 'stimulus check' thingy but I felt sick when I heard it described as George Bush stimulating something. My brain shut down at that point.

What does it involve? Is he going round the country checking that y'all are stimulated? Eeeeeew ...
posted by essexjan 29 April | 12:52
It's bread and circuses money, essexjan.

According to my metachat free stimulus check, only Elsa could perhaps be called "frustrated", but nobody seems particularly stimulated at the mo.

A multitude of soft fluffy whuffles to MGL....

AND AS FOR ME, I HAD A BROOKE WHITE MOMENT AT MY SONGWRITERS OPEN MIKE NIGHT AND IF YOU WATCH AMERICAN IDOL YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN-

Hugs to all here who need them!!!

Meanwhile,

READ. THE. DIRECTIONS. THEY'RE THERE, COMPLETE WITH PRETTY SCREEN CAPS, FOR A REASON. IF YOU DON'T COPY THE HYPERLINKED DOCUMENT WITH THE POWERPOINT WHEN YOU BURN IT TO DISK, THE POWERPOINT CAN'T PULL UP THE DOCUMENT BECAUSE IT'S NOT THERE. IF YOU MOVE THE DOCUMENT AFTER YOU HYPERLINK IT TO THE POWERPOINT, THE POWERPOINT CAN'T PULL UP THE DOCUMENT BECAUSE IT MOVED AND LEFT NO FORWARDING ADDRESS.

AND WE CALL OURSELVES THE ELECTRONIC CAMPUS. SHEESH.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE REQUESTS ARE STARTING TO SLOW FOR THE SUMMER HERE AT WORK AND THAT I WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO BECAUSE I'M BUSY SITTING ON MY ASS. I LOVE THIS JOB AND I'M SO SCARED ABOUT LOSING IT BECAUSE OF THIS GODDAMNED SHITASS ECONOMY FUCKUPS.
I'M AGGRAVATED THAT I CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THE UMD SYSTEM FOR REGISTERING FOR ONE CLASS. ONE MOTHERFUCKING CLASS. AND I CAN'T GET INTO THE SYSTEM AND I REALLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DRAG MY ASS DOWN TO COLLEGE PARK TO REGISTER FOR ONE FUCKING CLASS.
I'M ANXIOUS ABOUT THE WHOLE GTFO MY PARENT'S HOUSE PLAN THAT IS GOING ON, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM THE TWO OTHER PEOPLES THAT ARE INVOLVED AND I HAVEN'T REALLY DONE MUCH RESEARCH TO CONTRIBUTE TO IT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TOO BUSY READING TWILIGHT FANFICTION AND BEING A GIANT LOOOOOOSER.

I AM QUITE CRANKY BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M JUST MARKING TIME AND NOT MAKING ANY PROGRESS ON ANYTHING. AT ALL. GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I HATE BEING HERE. THERE'S LITTLE TO DO, AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE WILL TAKE SO LITTLE TIME AND BRAINPOWER THAT THERE'S REALLY NO POINT IN DOING IT AT ALL. HAAAATE.

Hugs, mgl.

A knotted-up muscle in -- OOPS, FORGOT TO SHOUT!!

A KNOTTED UP MUSCLE IN MY BACK IS GIVING ME PINCHED-NERVE-LIKE CONDITIONS AND MY WHOLE LEG/FOOT HAVE BEEN TINGLY FOR A WEEK AND I KNOW THAT SITTING HERE IN THIS CHAIR MAKES IT WORSE BUT I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO AND NO ONE WILL CALL ME BACK ABOUT THE JOBS I'VE APPLIED FOR AND IT'S MAKING ME CRAAAAAAAZY AND ANGRY 'CAUSE IT FEELS LIKE NO ONE THINKS I'M GOOD ENOUGH. I AM! I'M GOOD ENOUGH! AND MY BACK HURTS!!

Oh, mgl, msali, pups - hugs.

I WAS ALL READY TO SHOUT AT MY DAD BECAUSE I ASKED HIM FOR SOME DOCUMENTS ESSENTIAL TO MY REMAINING IN THIS COUNTRY TEN WEEKS AGO AND HE'D STOPPED ANSWERING WHEN I PHONED AND I WAS REALLY STARTING TO FRET AS THE DEADLINE TO EXTEND MY VISA LOOMS EVER-NEARER AND I WAS SERIOUSLY ABOUT TO BOOK A FLIGHT TO AUSTRALIA, LIKE TOMORROW, TO COLLECT THEM MYSELF but then they arrived today so I don't need to SHOUT IN FRUSTRATION any more and can cheer YYYYYYYIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! instead.

update on the class registration issue: IT TURNS OUT THAT THEIR ENTIRE FUCKING WEBSITE HAS GONE IN THE SHITTER TODAY SO I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO IT ANYWAYS, EVEN IF I COULD REMEMBER WHATEVER THE ARCHAIC THING I USED AS MY PASSWORD WAS. GODDAMNIT. I CAN SEE THE CLASSES AND THE FACT THAT MOST OF THEM HAVE LESS THAN 10 SEATS LEFT, BUT I CAN'T FUCKING REGISTER.

AMBROSIA VOYEUR, I KNOW JUST WHAT YOU MEAN. MY GRANDFATHER DIED, AND I ENDURED HIS FUNERAL WITH A FATHER I NEVER GET ALONG WITH AND AN AUNT WHO LOVES TO SWEAR THAT MY MOTHER (my parents were divorced years ago)SLEPT WITH HER FIRST HUSBAND - LIKE, 30 YEARS AGO!!! IT NEVER HAPPENED; MY FATHER WAS THE CHEATER/ABUSER. LET IT GO, ALREADY! I DON'T CARE IF I NEVER SEE THAT SIDE OF MY FAMILY AGAIN.

I HAVE JUST BEEN TAGGED IN A FACEBOOK NOTE. IT'S FROM A (CASUAL, HIGH SCHOOL) FRIEND WHO JUST GOT ENGAGED, AND LAYS OUT THE ENTIRE DEAL WITH THE WEDDING: IT'S IN 3 MONTHS, ME AND REST OF THE PEOPLE TAGGED ARE NOT INVITED, BUT THERE WILL BE 2 "PARTIES" WE COULD COME TOO AFTER THAT, SO WE SHOULD JUST DROP THE BRIDE AND GROOM A LINE IF WE'RE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING. OH, AND HERE'S A LINK TO THE HONEYMOON REGISTRY, AND HERE'S SOMETHING ELSE YOU COULD GIVE US AS A GIFT. THE WHOLE MESS OFFENDS MY SENSE OF DECORUM ON SO MANY LEVELS, I HARDLY KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.

I JUST HAD A LOVELY LONG WEEKEND IN MISSOURI MEETING MY BOYFRIEND'S PARENTS AND ALL HIS CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, BUT HE STILL WON'T TELL ME IF HE WANTS ME TO MOVE TO BERKELEY WITH HIM AND IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY.

AND I'M AFRAID TO SEND IN THE PAPERWORK TO GET MY CAR OUT OF MY EX-HUSBAND'S NAME BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THEY'LL SAY NO AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'LL DO.

AND I HAVE A THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLAR HOSPITAL BILL FROM MY SURGERY LAST YEAR THAT MY INSURANCE COMPANY DOESN'T WANT TO PAY, AND I HAVE TO APPEAL IT, BUT I'M PUTTING OFF THE APPEAL BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THEY'LL SAY NO AND I DON'T HAVE THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.

I DIDN'T EVEN REGISTER ANYWHERE BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH STUFF AND THEY JUST WANT A FREE FREAKING MEAL OUT OF ME AND IT'S ALL A NIGHTMARE AND I DON'T EVEN WANT TO GO TO MY OWN WEDDING BECAUSE I KNOW ALL THE CONVERSATION WILL BE ABOUT MY OLDER PERFECT BROTHER AND HOW MUCH MY MOTHER GUSHES OVER HERE AND I DON'T EVEN WANT TO GO TO MY OWN WEDDING BECAUSE IT'S BECOME A FREAKING NIGHTMARE OF EPIC FAIL SIZE!
