So Did Anybody Else's Monday Just Bite The Big One?

:shrug:

mine did from the start...

my co-worker called in doubling my workload...
I was called to do something else at the start of the shift so that I missed out on what was going on that I needed to know...
No one seemed to be in synch on anything today...
The sun is gone and it's supposed to rain all week...
I have to deal with assholes anyhow and they were in rare form today...


things to be grateful for... I have a job, I got up, I made it to work, no one was killed...


how's your frickin' Monday? I call this post St Paddy's day triple Monday clusterfuck!

:hi:

No heat in the fucking house and I'm at the end of my patience with all the bad shit that keeps happening. I want to DESTROY something, I swear to Dog.

old light bulbs are fun to break he he he

breakable dishes are fun too!

I'm sorry you have no heat and send you lots of these:

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

:loveya:!

I once collected antique china. :rofl: It was amusing at the time.

and then buy them and throw them on the sidewalk have a broom and dustpan ready for cleanup

:rofl:

I'll throw the Target plasticware; this way I can reuse it!
edited for typo

and that is the FUN

get some old light bulbs, or hell steal some from your neighbors lights :silly:

light bulbs kind of explode when they hit the pavement.


I remember discussing meditation with this psychiatrist long long ago, and she said that she thought that going and breaking dishes was a quicker means to the same end.

I tried the lightbulb thing at a spillway on a dam, really was quite effective


:hug:

I was pretty mad at the time, oh I just remembered why tooo :mad: no, i'm not mad about that anymore

I'm pretty sure I can find something to break. When the shrub was re-selected I had a mourning party and at the time was flush enough to buy a set of all-black dinnerware just for the occasion. Some of that can go. After STBE goes to bed of course, because he already thinks I've lost it.

A fine suggestion, pawpicker.

it is a fine suggestion

of course I'm series or serious

:rofl:

a mourning party

perfect black dinnerware

sounds fun!

:hi:

We sang dirges in the dark... :7 No really, we did.

and how appropriate too

dirges for our country

:cry:

only you ;)

So I am going to be busy tomorrow. I just LOVE being by myself. And having to make sure every thing is done and on time. GRUMBLE GRUMBLE. WHY THE FUCK CAN'T THEY PULL FROM OTHER PEOPLE'S DEPARTMENT, NO THEY "HAVE" TO PULL FROM OURS EVERY GOD DAMN TIME!

hey, the duck is still tied up

i thought we freeeeeeeed him!


:rofl:

I was reprimanded by the business manager for not working in my suit for the show that just ended ( I have had a LARGE cast on my foot because of a broken ankle, and getting to the laundromat hasn't been exactly easy as of late ). Also, my boss has been up my ass like a Fleet enema this past week...for what I don't know.
I'll be going for a couple of drinks in one hour; that will cheer me up. Hope you're doing better yourself. :thumbsup:

better already!

:hi:

I registered for classes first thing this morning and got in all but one that I wanted (I'm on the waiting list for that one).

I don't go back to work until the first of April and I'm very grateful for that. I don't mind my job but I'd much rather not be there.

Weather's not bad here and it's supposed to start raining tonight which is actually good news - we really need it.

I'll try to send some of my happy vibes your way - maybe your day will improve. :hi:

it's gotten better by degrees as i had fun at my son's soccer practice coaching

:pals:

nah, not really, i've grown accustomed to being underwhelmed.

what's that on yer nose?

Free hugs!

:shrug:

We had a cold, driving rain all day. :scared:

We are doing standardized testing all week, so I don't have to teach, just give make-up tests. Piece of cake!

we were supposed to have rain all day and instead it was just cloudy and windy

:shrug:

:hug: :hi: I ranted about it in another post.

Sorry it was so bad for you and for everyone else! :pals:

a little too vivid NWC!

I think the stars are lined up wrong...

or some such thing...

oh well, :hug:

:pals:

it could always be worse :P

he's about to get shitcanned. Sorry, I'll get back over to GD for the blood orgy

shit ass grrrrrrr Gonzales fuck

hate him

:rubs salt in your wounds:
but that's only because everything in the class aligned in a positive way today.
most likely, it won't be any other day this week, and the rest of the week will suck balls. cheers! :pals: :toast:

:rofl:


:pals:

glad you had a good day, even you need one once in a while d00d

I am the King of the Losers, churl. Bow before me.

That's like bragging about being the Duke of Donuts or the Lord of Lemons. It's not exactly a cause for bragging :P

Did you take a blow to the head or something? :P

:rofl:

Do you have a bout of Monday Mania, or perhaps March Madness?
:P

I can tell you it ain't purty at all

in fact it's downright mean, and unforgiving despite the idea that I had that it might be forgiving and ...

well never mind :P

Wait, did you ever even say hello?
:D

Thank you. :rofl:

:cry: how dare you tell the truth!

it's okay Elrond, it's all only a movie

:silly:

Rowf.

you got a tail?

let's see it!

:rofl:

Isn't that how it goes?

maybe in vino

maybe in outer space :silly:

Pass the Thunderbird.

and I had only one glass on Friday. (handing it over) Leave me a little bit because I'm hoping to fall into an alcoholic coma very, very soon. :toast;

damn :mad:

I hate alcohol abuse...

please don't hit alcohol, it really just wants to be taken internally, not hit, or poured out, or whatever..

:rofl:

Picture me now. I'm cradling the glass tenderly and in my eyes you will see a misted, loving glint. :P

*swoon*


:hug:

Please don't get any rumors started, pawpicker. I'm already in DEEP shit. :hug:

I'll leave the rumor mongering to gray

:rofl:

:hug:

dear gray.

frickin' psycho keeps a duck duct taped up all the time

she thinks we freed her duck on St Paddy's day!

:rofl:

I told her we did too!

:shrug:

good lord knows what it is, but thunderbird ain't no damned wine!

:rofl:

Pass it to the right after you take a swig...(that'll be moi)

:toast:

Have them both, because I feel the prickly beginnings of a headache. :toast:

I often have that effect on people. LoL.

Hormones + red wine are a bad combination.

My pheramones have that effect on people...


I'm KIDDING, I kid. ;)

don't you have a few as a matter of fact

and your pheramones... :rofl:

I bet they do a lot of interesting things :D

for my pheramones...they have a mind of their own.

bwahahaha

;)

the pheromones from the party. Have you made successful use of them?

No! *grumble mumble grumble*

I have to store them in my drawer until I get the chance... :(





hehehe I didn't actually buy them!

Wait, how does one check their existence? :shrug:

Maybe it doesn't matter in the slightest.

We are all connected in someway or another in this Universe. I may feel insignificant 90% of the time, but I effect other people's lives without even realizing it. As does everyone...

Ok, enough thinking...my brain aches from that tiny effort of making sense at all...

How are you doing! :hi:

...

:shrug:

damn

now

I

have

to

figure

out

if

I

even

exist

too?

:cry:

;)

:toast:

:pals:

:beer:

too bad life isn't like that eh?

:pals:

I do wish life were like that...hmmmm

There is a deep thought there that I shall ponder...someday

for BNL to ponder... someday?

:hug:

I may pull a muscle or something if I think too much.

:)

I believe that you are instead a clever BNL who makes out like she is not... why? Oh well, it is endearing anyway ;)


:pals:

of course

:rofl:

:hug:

:rofl:



:hug:

:crazy:

mine sucked but not in an obvious manner...just a quiet little boring (as ever) suckling Monday.:hi:

are you my sis too?

:rofl:

I may find that I've got a lot of family here :hi:

On my bike. Merde, I hate flats in the morning. Afterwards, down the street I realized that I neglected to reconnect the brakes. Further on, it dawned that I put the wheel back on backwards. I was wondering why I had trouble cinching it. After work, I was repairing the puncture discovering that it wasn't a puncture, nor a pinch. The rubber just broke apart. A patch would be a waste. Since I had the patch kit out, there was a punctured tube that I'd been procrastinating over for months. That too had broken apart. I guess some CEO skimped on quality for another yacht.

And thing is, yesterday, I was thinking I hadn't had a flat in a long, long time. I shouldn't have thought that.

damn, so you're a bike d00d.

I'm wanting to get me a road bike and start cycling but I want to join a club so I can have some folks to ride with.

I've been training a little indoors, but I want to start outdoors.

I don't want to spend a lot on a road bike


any rec's?

:hi:

I pedal year around and carry loads, so I have a touring bike (Waterford frame) built custom. Otherwise, I'll spend lots of time and more money replacing parts and hanging around bike shops. Most off-the-rack bikes are built to last a year or two. But if you're just starting out, you don't want to spend a fortune. Get something off-the-rack. As you ride, you can replace worn components with better quality ones. Your own person comfort should be the main factor. If the bike is too small and you ride with legs splayed, your knees will eventually scream. There's a lot of consumerism with bike gear, so be pragmatic. Don't let the sales-bots talk you into crap you don't need.

I haven't shopped for a while, but I think Bianchi was a good brand. You could also try a used bike.

**On Monday mornings, I don't want to think until after work in the evening.

NA NA NA NA NA

up yer na na na!

:rofl:





:hide:




:hi:

on everything one could possibly ever know about human microanatomy/histology. It was a beast. So yeah, my monday kind of sucked too. I'm pretty sure I passed it, at least.

or a microbiologist?

or ????

sounds like a beast.

:hi:

but I guess you never know!

The worst part is all the formaldehyde ;-)

formaldehyde is ewwww

can you believe that people have dipped cigarettes in that and smoked them to get high?

:rofl:

we all want to burn our scrubs, but we're worried about what might escape into the air since they're all soaked in formalin and embalming fluid.

:rofl:

yuck, does sound pretty disgusting

A guy at my part time job who's been flirting with me for the past 2 months left the office with this evening and instead of stopping to chat like he usually does, he walked out with this other woman who works there too (they got into separate cars, but they walked out together and talked for awhile in the parking lot - yes I peeked :blush: ), then 5 minutes later he called me from his car (apparently so she wouldn't know we 'talk') 'how was your day' blah blah ... and was ON HIS WAY TO MEET HER FOR DINNER.


WTF kind of a jerk pulls some shit like that ???

thatz who

soundz like you gawt a gift in that you saw that now

still stingz, but hey, better now than later!

:pals:

I'll flirt with ya to make up fer it? :shrug:

:hug:

:toast: You're too cute!!! :pals:

:pals:

:rofl:

Thanks for making me smile. Seriously. O8)

I usually sit right over there, away from the corner because well, there's a nasty smell quite frankly...

:rofl:

;)

<bats eyelashes> :rofl:

I'm sure we must have lots in common, eh?

:rofl:

"Southpaw" ? I'm a leftie too, but lefthanded, not footed.
I'm sure you're very talented .... ahem.

:)

talented that is :evilgrin:

:) I bet you are too... lefty ;)

... maybe we can talk about it sometime, someplace less ... public ... :evilgrin:


LOL! I'm outta here darlin', thanks for making my evening better! :hi: :hug:

;)

see ya back here again sometime? :hug:

spring-like.

I've had better days, and much worse ones.

(Falling down the front stairs a little while ago wasn't so hot, though..)

:hi:

I've fallen off my porch TWICE now.. not lately

but OUCH

it seemz like we fall farther than we did when we were kidz :crazy:


and gravity is winning a bit more than it used to as well

hope yer okay!

:pals:

I was carrying a basket of recycling in the dark when my foot landed on a tiny patch of ice and I fell on one knee. It's skinned, but it could have been much worse. My youngest was walking up the driveway with a friend of his and our dog. I think he was too embarrassed by his clumsy mother to even ask if I was OK. (That's my job! Embarrassing my kids... :+ )

I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.... :pals:

I wasn't sure I could move for a while... I remember looking up and my at that time 10 year old Dalmatian was wagging his tail and looking out the window at me...

:rofl:

I got up and was okay

glad you are, but watch that refreezing stuff... how do you Minnesotans do it?

Of course here I'm choking on pollen and the wind has been blowing. It's supposed to rain and has been all day, but I've barely seen a sprinkle

:hug:

usually I'm very careful, but I thought the driveway was clear and I was turning to make silly babytalk to my silly dog... :+ It turns out that my son actually didn't see me fall and was concerned when he found out. (He's a nice boy.)

'Sounds like you had the wind knocked out of you with your fall. Were you cursing your dog for not having opposable thumbs so he could come out and help you up?

My best, "I've fallen and can't get up" story is the time I was trimming a very large, old tree in my backyard. The branch I was cutting was about eight feet long and about seven inches in diameter. Unfortunately, the branch didn't break completely loose from the tree, swung down and, WHAM!, hit me right in the lower back. I made myself horizontal while I assessed the situation. Eventually, got up and took the unusual step of visiting urgent care to make sure I didn't rupture something. Luckily, I very bruised and sore, but OK. Now, when I find myself studying a tree, thinking about trimming...I'm considerably more realistic about what I want to tackle.

:pals:

well it's good that you only imagined the reaction of your son...

I think I was too shocked to react to what my dog was doing other than to watch in disbelief as I saw my life flash before my eyes (okay overly dramatic)

The tree trimming story is pretty scary really, glad you're okay :D


Once, a long time ago, I swear I *fell* off a wave trying to body surf in Hawaii. I was at the top of it and I know I went over the top and into the sand in front of the wave and then it went over the top of me and I felt every single vertebrae *pop* and I wondered if I would be able to walk again... another overly dramatic moment, I got right up but was very cautious about doing something I knew nothing about doing again.

:hug:

....at least from school. I should have spent all day at the library where I'm painting this mural. I procrastinated myself all the way to 3:00. I went and painted for two hours and then went to a paranormal/psychic thingy called 'dinner and spirits' with some friends. There were four psychics that did group readings in the John Edward style. It was fascinating, but I am a bit skeptical.

I hate that I am a procrastinator. I should have been way more productive.

I hope you have a better day tomorrow, Southpaw.

and I'll do something about it... tomorrow

:rofl:

okay bad lame bad SPK!


:pals:

just now starting to feel like myself again:hi:

yup

you feel like yerself again!


:rofl:


:hug:

;)

:rofl:

:hug:

sure thing!

;)


:hi:


:hug:

:shrug:

it's easy to take things for granted, especially when things go sucky there

:shrug:

:pals:

I've already written a heated email, but am sitting on it and not sending it till tomorrow.

I feel angry and betrayed.

When I'm ready to discuss it, I'll write more.


Sorry you're having a bad day, too. :hug:

I've had to learn the hard way at work that it is at least better to count to 10 before hitting send.

I haven't regretted one in a long time.

Sorry you feel so bad, angry and betrayed suck... :hug:

It relates to my GRRRRRRRRRRR thread of a few days ago. It was obvious that day - VERY obvious - that I was angry, but holding it in.

Now I'm told that my reaction is the problem, not the offending behaviour of the asshat. :grr:


My ex called me a "force of nature" when I get angry or determined. Believe me, if the offending party was here, they would feel like they'd been hit by Katrina. (I am not a violent person, so I don't mean physically)

(you of course being anyone the asshat is blaming, not YOU as in u4ic, although that is what asshat is doing :mad:)

I imagine you are a force of nature when you are angry, I can see it in your eyes, you are a calm person who holds things in but watch out when you blow!

:hug:

other people backing asshat (well, and asshat himself). I'm making them painfully aware of asshat's behaviour, and they don't like it - they'd rather not deal with it. Or silently, on their own.

I always seem to be the one to make people deal with these things. I don't know that I do it consciously...but I often end up in that position.


It's hard to define myself...sometimes I am calm, sometimes not (but in that instance, I often get called effervescent, or sparkly...their words, not mine). It depends on the people I'm with...I really pick up on the energy around me, or what's needed.


Thanks for the hug. :hug:

I like that

you pick up on energy around you, and I do that too...

sometimes it is to my detriment, but often it is to address what is needed.

you're welcome for the hug!

:pals:

I'm still sick, in fact worse than yesterday.--grrr
After three days, I'm getting tired of this crap.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow and feeling better.

Hopefully you'll have a much better day tomorrow,
Southpaw!

:pals: :hi:

nasty sinus infection

drink lots of water and stay away from antihistamines because they keep the crap from draining out of your head!

:hi:


:hug:

I didn't know that about antihistamines.

I have seasonal allergies, too and take Claratin-D
when it's really bad.

But I'll stay away from them, now.
I sure want this stuff to go away.

Wow- why haven't any doctors told me about this?

:shrug:

You're a peach!

:hug:

tell me that

I used to take Claritin D all the time too

but the ENT told me that I was drying out the secretions too much and they weren't draining the gunk out. :puke:

:hug:

Thanks for the good advice.

:hug:

x(

:rofl:

sorry you're having a bad day Oregonian

:hug:

Commisserating makes it better...(P.S.I'm too damn lazy to look up the correct spelling of commisserating) :hi:

:rofl:

:pals:

But I got a spare :hug: and a :* lying around for ya.

:hug:

:rofl: (got a little tongue in there I did)

Now I can say I got me some action today!

:woohoo:

:silly:

and I liked it too :P

;-)

Actually, it's not been too bad at all.

sucking balls isn't too bad at all either...:P

Kinda good actually. :P

yeah :P

could be Very Good. :P

That is depending on who's doing the sucking.

now this thread is heading towards lockage :rofl:

:cry:

you can't even get a clique going?

ah man, I'll be in yer clique if ya want?

:pals:

No reason. Just did.

or are you there yet?

:hug:

Just a tiring day. Thankfully, Tuesday is better :hi:

Tuesday is better... and it did drag on for me today...

Even received a nice note from Ralph Lauren when I got home.
(Bumped in to him at lunch,at the next table, while at Joe Allen, in NYC, lst month)

Best Monday in Months!:toast:
