Saya, I'm the moving queen... I'll move for you and you can come over and babysit babybat... I've moved about 25 times in 5 years, so I know how to pack shit.

Mrs Kitty - no alcohol? man that sucks.

That would be a totally fair deal. I'm out of boxes and garbage bags and ready to cry. I've only had to move maybe three times in my life.

[Saya]

Oh thank god, I called mom and she said she can't make it in with the truck today. I can find boxes by wednesday XD

[honeythorn]

We have a new machine at work, and while they thought a great deal about how much money it will make them, they didn't think about how to organise packing off the huge amount of produce it can churn out.

So the entire lower end of the warehouse is in chaos right now. Pallettes and boxes all over the shop, we've just had to ram stuff in boxes and shove it out of the way to make space for more work.

Naturally all of this stuff can be used even if slightly imperfect in it's new wrap. So we got Fran , Ben the temp, and the new woman Alicia to come down and pack it all off into the correct boxes, while we ( Chris, Myself and Stef ) try to set up a decent packing system and see if we can keep up with the machine.


I am THIS FUCKING CLOSE *pinches fingers together* to taking a goddamn lumphammer to Fran's mashed up little fucking pug face.

She's SERIOUSLY fiucking pissing me off. All day she's done the following:

She's walked about with various sheets of paper - delivery notes and timesheets that are not only about a week old, but have nothing to fucking do with her.

She's done about 2 hours worth of actual physical work all fucking day.

She's talked NON STOP about her husband's brother's friend, who has been to Thailand and married a woman there, who is blatantly scamming him. When I say she talked non stop I mean that literally. She's been round the whole fucking warehouse and told EVERYONE the same story about it, and had the same discussion thereafter.

She's blatantly been choosing to do the very easiest jobs in the section today, just vaugely picking up bits of cardboard, sticking a few labels on, and wandering about talking about the fucking Thai bride incident with any poor sod who happens to breeze by on a forklift.


Not only that, she's also spent most of the day attempting to boss poor Alicia around and get her to do all the shit she doesn't feel like doing.

Which means all the heavier lifting, and she's even been making her write out the timesheets and do the delivery notes, standing there fucking dictating what to put on them, instead of doing the fucking things herself and showing Alicia in a normal manner.

I'm about ready to fucking snap. If she's like it tomorrow it'll be a bastard miracle if I don't end up verbally beating the shit out of her.

We've all told Adrian the manager about it. He's a fucking pussy and won't say anything to her. And she'd only ignore him anyway.

[MissCheyenne]

Ugh. I've been banned from driving before I've even learned how to. The consultant at the eye clinic says my field vision is so bad on my right side that I'd be a danger on the road and is writing to the DVLA to inform them that I'm not allowed to drive. This sucks so much balls, I was meant to be starting lessons this year :'(

[Catch]

I have no problems ever and life is perfect leaving me without anything to complain about.

[carakitty]

i have come to the conclusion that it is better if I do not have alcohol in this house, or i will binge drink it all down.

Bought a bottle of Jager last week to have a couple of my friends over last Friday 'cause it was his birthday + he'd never tried it. Hello! I had to show him how good this stuff is! We had a couple shots each that night and I polished off the rest of it last night.

I also got a bottle of rum for Strawberry Daquaris and Pina Coladas. Used half the bottle for Daquaris which were drank that Friday night and the following afternoon.

Now there's half a bottle of rum and I'm thinking it would taste really good with this banana-tropical fruit smoothie I made. I'm also thinking that after my girl finishes this episode of Phineas and Ferb, and we go get some milk, after we get back home I'll start slowly sipping the rum mixed with something non caffeinated. Hopefully I can kill two birds with one stone: get the evil booze out of my house, and finish drinking early enough that I don't crash so hard and so late at night that I sleep in far too late and make my daughter an hour late for school like i did this morning.

[CarrionCorpse]

Today I visited someone I went to school with.
His grave is in Champlin, right next to where my best friend's dad is buried.
He was in a car crash with his girlfriend about 6 months ago. She lived.
I missed his wake and I regret it all the time.
I just started crying, I didn't know him well, but I went to school with him for 13 years.
I saw him everyday, we talked a few times...

It's just not fair.

[CarrionCorpse]

I just realized it's been far more than six months since his death.
I don't even try to think of when he died.
I don't place a time on it.
I just think about him being gone.
Oh my god.
WHY didn't I go to see him?

*hugs*

Let it go. Don't beat yourself up about this, because you'll drive yourself insane.

Take a drink to his grave and just say what you need to say to him - yeah I know it's a grave but it's really just so you feel better about it. Get it out of your system. It sounds crazy but it does help.

Celebrate life - remember his birthday not his funeral. I used to get plastered on my dad's birthday and eat my mum's favourite dessert on her birthday.

Celebrate his life and don't dwell on his death.

Ok, let me stop you right there.
You didn't go see him because DINGDINGDING you didn't care. And you didn't care because, as you said, YOU DIDN'T EVEN REALLY KNOW HIM.

Now you're bored and need a reason to get upset. That's offensive.

Robert Smith on an ice cream stand, are college issues coming difficultly today.;/ Spent an hour tracking down one absentee professors contact info, the day before my 15 page portfolio was due; and then right afterwards discovered that my DSS request had been denied after being assured otherwise. Just hope I don't have to spend another day running between offices and filling out beurocratic papers with finals all about. Wish I didn't have to do a presentation today on top of that too..

[CarrionCorpse]

I don't know if I can go back there, not soon anyway...
Seeing his grave made me realize that it can happen to anyone.
And really put the idea of people that I know dying into perspective.
I'm terrified.
Out of the 14 people who died in my mum's graduating class, she knew 12 of them (about half were very close friends), what does that mean for me??
I know I should'nt dwell on it, but it's been something that's passed my mind nce or twice lately, and now it's all I can think about since seeing him.
I'm standing over his plot, crying, thinking 'oh my god, he's underneath me in a box, fucking rotting. No one is ever going to actually see him again' and having a panic attack because I missed his wake and I'LL never see him again.
It just really fucked me up..

I did know him.
And I cared alot, I just thought it would be rude to show up with all of his close friends and family wondering who the hell I was.
You're a really mean person Ophelia..

She isn’t mean so much as deeply unhappy and likes to take it out on others, don't let her get to you.

Grieving can be really strange, especially when you are grieving for someone that you knew well but weren’t super close with. Frequently it doesn’t make sense for you do be as upset as you are and you feel like you can’t commiserate with others who knew him so you bottle things up and you repress. It isn’t a conscious decision, it is just something that people do, and at some point it just all comes out. Let yourself have a good cry and acknowledge that you are grieving and that it is okay for you to be experiencing all of the emotions that you are feeling.

^this... and then when you are ready to move on and try and focus on the good things, the good memories.

And remember that you've been given a kick in the pants to go out and live a fabulous life.

Carrion all those deaths from your mom's graduating class is a reminder to live a good life? Life is short and fleeting and there is no use being unhappy or spending time in a situation that makes you unhappy because before you know it, life is over. Shit it only feels like yesterday I was a cocky 18 year old makign the worst decision of my life - and that was a couple of decades ago now.


I came to rant about how I friggin' hate winter. Fuck this place, fuck winter... man I really hate being cold. Really, Really REALLY hate it. I'm migrating north for the winter!

Jesus Christ! IS EVERYONE TAKING CRAZY PILLS!?

She fucking said herself that she didn't know him!
I'm not mean, I'm just realistic and fucking LOGICAL.

And why would his family and close friends wonder who you were, despite the fact that you go to the same school?

BECAUSE YOU BARELY KNEW THE KID!

[Still Jack]

She has got a very fair point.

So does being a complete and utter ass to someone who's obviously hurting make you feel edgy and cool or what?

[Still Jack]

What I don't get is that she's putting the realization of her own mortality down to some random bloke dying that she talked to once or twice. Well, to be honest, get over it.
23 of my friends have died, If I can get over it, so can you.

[PorlNecklace]

Past two days of college beurocratic work, going exactly as expected.
Spent an hour to talk for five minutes at point A, before being directed to point B, where I waited 45 minutes to talk for two before being set on point C, which immediately sent me to D, although I couldn't go there until 10AM the following day. Where I was immediately sent back to B, although I'm at A waiting an hour for my preiliminary work to be finalized for B, which I'll then take back to A then give to C, so that it can be heard next weeks meeting at location E.

I don't know guys. When I was in volleyball in high school a girl on the varsity team named Karina Ledesma offered me a Starburst once out of the blue, and two days later she had a brain aneurism and ended up dying. All the volleyball teams were invited to her funeral-we got the day off school. She was also in the same off-school v-ball league I was in and we got new uniforms with her number on the sleeve. I only met her once but I bawled at her service and I still sometimes think about her, and contemplate my own mortality in the process. That was 8 years ago.

[CarrionCorpse]

Just drop it guys, sorry I said anything...
