Question: do you know Anybody who is as grouchy and pissed-off
as I am right now? Answer: No, you don't.

Maybe a shower will help. Off I go

Also: any chance that lavender oil will cause breast enlargement in full-grown women? :P

However, my workload tripling because corner office types screwed up and have no one else to turn to has my mood on a pretty shitty level. :mad:

I'm feeling much better because I've showered, had a haircut, eaten lunch, bought myself a bouquet of flowers and convinced the STBE to let me order an embroidery kit. Why are you feeling crappy? :hug:

46. I'm feeling totally lazy and completely out of shape.
I'm in dire need of some exercise, but I haven't pushed myself to go get it...which only makes me feel worse about myself. :banghead: I'm signed up to ride in an organized century bike ride (100 mi in a day)on the 10th down in Solvang and there's noooo way I'm ready for it. I had the flu for 2 1/2 weeks and I just haven't fully bounced back yet. At the best, I'll be able to crank out half a century. Plus, we've had a lot of rain here lately, which has also affected my training time.

In addition, my 7th grdr son is really blowing it in school lately, which has me deeply concerned and feeling inadequate as a parent. He's normally an A or B student and right now he's getting a C- and D in three of his classes! I've asked the right questions, or so I think, and he assures me he's NOT being bullied, he's feeling fine, he's NOT depressed, etc...He's just getting lazy and not taking the time to show his work, be neat, study, manage his time well, all that crap...As you may remember, I recently decided to keep him from the annual mens' ski w/e with his Dad. I'd hoped he'd be cleaning up his academic act by now, but it's not working. I'm not sure what to do, short of continuing to heap consequences on him, ie, no computer time, no TV, no anything. Sigh....It's all new territory to me, I've never had these sorts of problems with him before.

Anyway, that's my shit today, in a very small nutshell. :( I'll get over it. I just need to change my perspective a bit....

53. At least your body has the ability to be trained! Mine, no way.
I'm sorry that your son hasn't responded as you'd hoped. Maybe he needs more sustained encouragement... so to speak. Since taking Juergen off the computer many hours have been freed up per week and his schoolwork is benefitting. I have no idea if the improvement will last however.

Rain means overcast and overcast can ruin a mood very quickly. Hang in there... soon you'll have recovered from your illness, the sun will be shining and you'll be riding two hundred miles a day! :pals:

74. Thanks, crim son.
:hug: I agree with you, keeping him off the computer (except for homework assignmts) will be a big help. Here's hoping, anyway.

200 miles a day?! Yikes, I don't think so. The most I've ever done, though, is about 103 miles...and that was 7 yrs ago. Not too shabby, eh? That's about 8+ hrs in the saddle...whew!

80. I'm slightly annoyed-
at the cable company; but not grouchy.
Sorry you don't feel well.B-)

82. I'm fine now... so much so that I'm doing laundry and smiling
at the same time. What did the cable company do to you to deserve your ire?

92. Sigh.
Called me yesterday (the person on the phone identified themselves as with the company; that's all-did not specify that he was a tech or anything else); and said they were going to have to disconnect tomorrow. I explained my situation to him -no car; husband working all day every day until 9 since he's working 2 hours away-I can't get the money to the bank until Friday. He said fine; I go on vacation Friday so I will get your payment Monday. We hang up.
Here comes three in the morning and my cable is shut off. This would not be a crime except for the fact that my three year old likes Noggin for a few during the day and dammit; I'm home all alone all day every day and yes, I do like my tv. (bad liberal! no cookie!) So I call the company and they say that I will have to talk to the tech -after telling me that was who I had talked to earlier in the day, I thought it was the company rep-that this is an automated computer thing.
Here comes seven in the morning and I talk to the tech. He says he has no control over this and the computer automatically shuts it off. So I ask him, what is the difference between the computer disconnect and your kind of disconnect? He says he would be coming out to take my equipment.

Oh.

How was I supposed to know the difference? No one explained this to me on the phone (him-initially) or on paper (I checked the bill). I know I figured this out, but it took me 3 or 4 phone calls to do. WHat the fuck??

I am ok,but ya know, shouldn't this be made more clear to people up front? It's very confusing; and the communication is screwed.

I think I need to talk to someone at the company about it.

Damn Monopolies. I thought they were supposed to be illegal. Regan was an asshole.

I have a meeting tonight, and will have to deal with someone I truly despise. Can't stand this person with every fibre of my being. :grr:

so that your eyeballs are bulging by the time the meeting begins. :7

89. He won't be able to see my eyeballs
for all the fire I'll be breathing...


I'm trying to stay rather calm about it, because I'll have an instantaneous reaction once I'm there. And for the next day or so, I'll be muttering to myself about what he did that pissed me off this time.

I'll look a right loon. :rofl:



(it's very, very rare I clash with someone like this...I can usually find some compromise or middle ground)

93. Today isn't my finest, either.
People that shouldn't be bothering me are. A lot.

I need to get out of this dorm (which I share with three other people) and start my spring break. 24 hours to go. :banghead:

94. That's right... it starts this weekend doesn't it?
For me that means I'll have a physics professor at home, sigh. You have four per dorm? Is that per dorm room or what?

95. Usually there's two per dorm,
but I made the mistake of doing the quad thing with some friends from last year. The room is large enough in that we're not all cramped in, but it's never quiet. There's really no privacy, and it seems like someone is always sleeping on the couch when I want to watch a movie or turning off the lights to watch a movie while I'm reading a book. I just need a week to refuel at this point. :)

97. I could barely tolerate the one roommate let alone three of them.
I lived in a quad in my junior year, but we each had separate bedrooms and a common kitchen and bathroom. That was tough enough! Have a fantastic vacation, deadparrot.
