Jester, my BF has sleep apnea, too, so he has a machine that he uses when he sleeps. You might need one of those to help with it. My uncle has it, too.

*IndigoErth* · 05-21-2015, 01:37 PM

Why is it cold. We've already been 88 degrees recently, why is today only 50 and raining, no fair.

*BubblyShell22* · 05-21-2015, 03:23 PM

I have a really bad headache right now due to a high pressure system coming our way and warmer temps on the way. So tired of it.

~~Mew~~ · 05-21-2015, 04:53 PM

I'll get scared s**tless over random things. First, it was Steve from Blue's Clues playing devil and staring into my soul. Then, it was Barney the dinosaur stabbing someone. And lastly, my cat turning into a mustached devil. WTF!!!

Yeah, my mom and most of my aunts have C-pap machines.

Despite my best efforts, I've picked up the latest winter bug that's going around.

FUUUUUUUU....

None of this would have happened if people who get sick would just stay at home instead of infecting their co-workers! Inconsiderate jerks.

~~Leo656~~ · 05-21-2015, 09:45 PM

That's the shiiiiiiiiits. It's always "great" when someone comes to the gym for me to train them, and I always open with "So how we feelin' today?", and they cough and go, "I have a cold, but I didn't want to miss our session."

So now I get paid for the session, and miss the next 3 days of work, minimum. Terrific.

I tell my clients, if you feel sick, just stay home. I mean it's a gym, don't bring that sh*t in here. Common sense, man.

But yeah, that sucks. Feel better, dude.

*pennydreadful* · 05-21-2015, 10:06 PM

Oh it's just sh*tting me because I actually have (or had) plans for the weekend for once. I'm catching it in the early stages so hopefully if I stay in bed tomorrow I can kick its butt.

I just don't get it - I mean, we have paid sick leave over here. It's not life-or-death for someone to miss one day of work. Instead, the jacknut comes in, makes everyone else sick and then THEY have to miss days of work too. Basically means at least triple the working hours and manpower lost than if the inconsiderate dumbass had just stayed the f*ck at home. I mean, it's not rocket science - it's just stupid macho "Doesn't matter how sick I am, I can soldier through" crap. Makes me want to kick someone in the shins...

*IndigoErth* · 05-21-2015, 10:41 PM

That sucks. Being sick always kind of makes me grumpy and hate whoever gave it to me, be it a known suspect or unknown.

One of the things I hated most about working retail. If it wasn't a coworker then it was customers. And worst the people who drag their sick kids out in public because they wanted to go out and dragged the kid along, while both the child and employees would rather that the little cranky virus time bomb stayed home. Dreaded working the kid's clothing department, esp during the winter. I knew I was probably a dead woman if I had to.

Not to belittle your problem, penny, or even play devil's advocate, buuuut.....
Sometimes a person doesn't have much of a choice but to go in to work or go out somewhere when they have a cold, flu, etc. I know I can't AFFORD to miss two-three days at a time, so I go in, cold, flu, or not. Mind, I DO try to medicate the heck out of myself to keep the symptoms to a minimum, and stay away from areas that are easily contaminated, and avoid food or other people as much as possible. Wash hands and face frequently, keep coughing and nose-blowing to the minimum and do it away from others. Try to keep from making others sick as much as I can, but- sometimes you just can't help it.

It may not be that they are being jerks, but just need to get things done and can't take the time away that taking sick days entails. And as for myself, I DO "soldier through" unless I'm practically on my death bed, not just because I feel I can make it, but because if I miss time, my paycheck suffers for it, and I have too much riding on what little I scrape by with as it is. Especially with another person depending on me to provide care. It's hard, but I feel like if I have to call in, then I'm failing him as a spouse and care-giver.

I am mildly annoyed that the vast majority of game controllers that I have ever used place the X button on the Y axis and the Y button on the X axis.

Dawnatello Turtle Chick · 05-22-2015, 12:41 AM

On the sick people at work topic, I've always ended up with the bosses that act like everyone that calls in sick is faking it & have been told to come in or get written up. It was at the point that I called in because I had pneumonia (which I developed by working 2-3 days in a row with the flu) and instead of "Oh my gosh, get better!" I got "Are you kidding me? Well when are you coming back?" It was at that point that I was like F*** it! and put in my 2 weeks. Why should I bend over backwards only to be further crapped on.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 05-22-2015, 01:02 AM

^ Crap-bosses. THAT should be EVERYONE's gear-grind. I've had a few, too.

*Powder* · 05-22-2015, 02:54 AM

People on Deviantart who rather than comment about your art, talk about the thing the art is based on.

*post drawing*

"I love TMNT"

Okay, no sh*t. You clearly sought out a TMNT image. What do you think about the art?

*Netkeeper* · 05-22-2015, 03:49 AM

When people get into fights in the comment section of your art submissions.

*Powder* · 05-22-2015, 04:17 AM

DA is pretty much a cesspit in general. If they're not arguing, they're roleplaying or something.

Man, this kid started to make up a story on one of my sketches, included other people's character and How to Train Your Dragon. It was wicked weird, and he clearly knew nothing about my D&D character and not only got everything wrong. But when I asked him to stop, he took it else where in someone else's picture and continued the story with their character into the mix.

*Netkeeper* · 05-22-2015, 05:14 AM

deviantArt roleplayers are the weirdest. Why RP somewhere that doesn't allow porn? :V

*Jephael* · 05-22-2015, 06:15 PM

Dontcha hate it when you feel a sneeze coming on, but then for some reason it doesn't come out and you're left with this funny feeling in your nose?
