I have a massive headache preventing me from sleeping.

I'm in a very pissed off mood right now...

What on earth is that a quote from?

I am having one hell of a morning.

First, one of my coworkers was supposed to be back in today. They aren't. This is severely screwing up when I move in to my new place.

Second, the order for parts I put in yesterday got screwed up.

Third, one of my coworkers didn't tell me that he needed a specific part, so I ordered the general type of part he told me too, and now I'm getting bitched at for not being psychic enough to know which specific variant he wants.

Entropic · 03-24-2010, 10:28 AM

Great. Now the dimwitted twat forgot to order a system.

He then systematically blamed it on me (I'm in IT), then on another coworker (Sales), then back to me, then the company he forgot to order it from.

Methadrine · 03-24-2010, 03:39 PM

Fuck this week. All I got to say is: Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in.

Saya · 03-24-2010, 04:03 PM

It was okay outside when I left for work, and I heard the freezing rain wasn't supposed to start until well after my shift, so I was a little surprised when it was pouring buckets outside when I left. No money for a cab, I decided to walk anyway rather than wait a half an hour for a bus when its only fifteen minute walk.

Fifteen minutes in freezing rain when you only have a pair of mary janes on your feet is pretty brutal. I couldn't feel my feet when I got inside and my pants were completely soaked, I couldn't feel my legs either.

Ben Lahnger · 03-24-2010, 04:46 PM

Been there. Be good to those feet tonight ... you need them to be good to you for years to come.

Ben Lahnger · 03-24-2010, 04:53 PM

Speaking of being there, I also rode my bicycle five miles through a hail storm wearing a tee shirt, jeans and tennis shoes once. I was soaked, chilled and my arms were beet red by the time I got home from all the stinging impacts. But the worst thing was, my mom had made me a hat out of Pabst Blue Ribbon cans, which was pretty cool most days. Wearing it was better than not wearing it that day, but all the way home my ears were echoing with "ping", "ping-ping", "ping", "ping-ping-ping". Let me tell you, that gets old real fast when you're already annoyed that you're getting pelted with marble-sized pieces of ice.

That was the longest five miles I've ever biked.

Dude, your mom made you a hat out of PBR?

My stomach is very much unhappy with me, on the plus side it got unhappy at me early enough for me to call out of work last night so my boss had plenty of time to find someone to cover for me, so, while it was unhappy, it was at courteous.

Lady trouble Mr Meth?

I'm 3 days into the holiday and I'm already sleep deprived, hungover and in dire need of a shower.

Yep! Mine was much cooler than this - more can, less yarn:

Seriously ... much cooler. Really.

Lethe · 03-26-2010, 02:45 PM

I feel like killing my stepfather right now. The asshole made me clean our whole effing house today, which is extremely hard to clean and took me over eight hours to do.
He promised that if I did he would drive me to the nearest clothes shop and let me get some decent clothes for school since all of my shirts have been flagged for dress code and I've had them for years. I was going to use my own money for them too.
What does he do? He goes out and drives my sister to her best friend's house even though she sat on her ass all day and he doesn't drop me off for shopping. He drives her to another county and I'm going back to wearing old, tight, and nasty clothes.
She gets everything because she's his real daughter.

Nah, that's never a problem. Well, unless they're in the wrong country.

I told my brother about this hat of yours and you have no idea how jealous he is.

Ben Lahnger · 03-26-2010, 08:01 PM

I'm pretty sure one could find instructions on the interwebz for how to make it. She just cut a Pabst can up into panels, did something (I'm sure, I think) to make the edges dull or safe, punctured holes around the border of the panels and knitted them together to make a hat.

It can't be that hard, eh ... if he really wants one.

Saya · 03-27-2010, 11:55 AM

I think I might have seen some really bad ones on Regretsy.

ARGH, its snowing out. And it was awesome out yesterday! I don't wanna wear my boots and winter coat again.

I'm also losing my voice, got a cold. I'm kinda hoping they'll send me home early tonight, to be honest, but I only got a short shift anyway so it won't be so bad.

Entropic · 03-28-2010, 08:17 PM

So, my girlfriend was gone for a week, and she came back today.

During the entire week, I was fine. Now that she's back, I've got this feeling that there's something wrong with the relationship. I don't know why, but I feel like I've screwed up somehow, and I don't think I've done anything to screw up the relationship.

Saya · 03-28-2010, 10:39 PM

I could take not having a voice, but I fucking can't stand being congested. Fuck, work might be mad if I call in sick without a doctor's note, but the doctor is going to be mad that I went to the clinic to spread germs when she really can't prescribe anything to me. But, the doctor can't write me up, like work can, so if I'm not feeling better in the morning, to the clinic to spread my germs!

Stormtrooper of Death · 03-29-2010, 06:30 AM

My grandma's in the hospital and not doing so well, and on top of all this I'm feeling really really really really really angsty today.

korinna5555 · 03-29-2010, 12:44 PM

I was fired today for being a no-call, no-show.. even though I DID call. Three times, in fact.. until I finally got a hold of someone.

Ugh. Whatever.. I have an interview on Wednesday, so I'm not too upset. Just irritated.

honeythorn · 03-29-2010, 01:51 PM

If you called in sick and can prove you did so then you could sue them for unfair dismissal. You cannot legally be fired for being genuinely ill and espescially not if you called in to say you couldn't come in . Or perhaps they would prefer you to cough and splutter all over the merchandise and customers/co-workers?

Put that to them.
