What Grinds Your Gears? :)

Feeling like I was being kicked around by Mother Nature all day. Nauseating cramps and chronic fatigue, headache, backache, and now a bit of dizziness and feeling anemic. Yeah this really sucks. Want to curl up and die right now.

This month has been stupid bad for me too.
What gives, Mother Nature?

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Mine are like that about 80% of the time. Had hot flashes and night sweats the last two nights in a row too. Add insomnia bloating and gassiness to the mix and you get the idea. (Makes me hellafied irritable too, for obvious reasons....)

I've started to skip again, but at least my last one (in April!!!) was close to my "normal". I think they stopped because I reverted back to my old diet and stopped taking my synthroid because the stuff with it made me stomach sick. Should probably split them up through the day...

Women who tease men they aren't interested in dating by way of sexy photos and suggestive conversation... there is a difference in just "being open with your friends" and being a damn tease. Not saying you aren't interested when interest has been told of... not being honest in general... and then general "in your face" comments about the guy you're "seeing" (already shacking up & sleeping with) with no apoligies for misleading you... also complaining that men are lying sacks of sh!t and don't communicate well. I was honest with you and I guess its my own fault for expecting honesty in return...

End rant. Sorry folks.

My Super Sonico Cosplay outfit came in the mail today, and it's too small, of course. I was prepared that I was going to run a little small, but not so small that I can't get it on XD

Might have to ditch the skirt altogether and make one, luckily I have a pair of shorts that can be refashioned. The vest is a bit harder due to the fabric used...

I'll never understand why people bother doing that, and not like some men aren't guilty of it either. For attention I guess, but if they're already with someone they're happy then why bother. (I mean, in some way that's also pretty unfaithful and inconsiderate toward their actual significant other. Does he even know she does this...?)

But, well... you seem well aware that she's doing it, and not the first you've mentioned it, sooo I can only assume that probably the only way to make her stop is to tell her to knock it off and stop accepting the behavior.




Grind... waiting for the mail, but inevitably this has to be one of those days where it's late. Would have normally been here about two hours ago.

Yeah, I mean, I kind of had the feeling she was just needing attention since she never messaged my name... it was always hey or morning or whatever.. no "hey Mike" or anything... the i sent her videos all the time, just random 2 minute me running off at the mouth at my phone at the store or mall or just walking down the street... couldn't even get a 30 second snap video of her saying hello... although she did send about 8 3 to 5 second "I'm drunk" snap videos... she didn't respect me when i asked for her to not send pics that were a bit much... any who, now shes mad but has unfollowed all my social media and i blocked her twitter just because it was both annoying and difficult to see her constant tweets... Not sure she ever cared about me but i was blindsided by how much I really liked her...

Some people today feel that they can do whatever they want, even if it hurts someone around them (as most anything a person does can do...) and its my fault for liking her and/or not liking the change to her tone..

Dude! I hate when the mail is late!!

[IndigoErth]

Mail still not shown up, 6 hours late so far, and now that an aggressive storm finally passed the lights/power in the house is all flickering. Thought maybe it was just a bulb here in the computer room thinking of burning out already, but it's the whole house. Even the yard light when I just checked.

Power did go out for like a second during the storm (though I didn't know until after finding that the computer had restarted), prob due to a close-ish strike either on other end of the neighborhood or next one over, but I wouldn't have thought it would have messed up the power. We've had lighting blow out a transformer and the power once a few years ago (and I was sitting on the front step to see that hit just a few houses up - woo! ), but that was closer to us.

Ugh, and now it seems like its getting worse and the fish filter is starting to make noise. (Even though the computer luckily doesn't seem to notice anything.)

Annoying...


edit: Looks like the utility truck I saw come through a little bit ago got it fixed. And the mail showed up. Granted it took until and 6pm for all this, but...

I've stopped wearing a bandage on the finger I injured on Monday, but it's still a little numb on the wound.

Also, the fact that Bubba is starting to get SUPER covered in burrs this season when he goes outside.

[BubblyShell22]

That my dad isn't listening when we tell him not to do something. He tends to drink something while he's coughing and we've warned him multiple times not to do this because it will go down into his lungs and kill him. However, when I told him not to do this today, he just did it again. And yesterday he started yelling and I thought something was wrong so I ran into the room and he was fine and wanted the curtains pulled back so he could look out. I swear he will be the death of me yet!

[IndigoErth]

Would be nice if you guys were able to get someone who'd agree to come and watch him or some kind of aid or service through a caregiver respite program for a weekend and the rest of you just get the hell out of there for a couple of days.

Might be nice if he also got someone who wouldn't put up with his nonsense. In a kind way.




Grind... how even though you're not supposed to work a full 7 days without a couple days off in the week, companies, esp retail, make loop holes in making you work 7 (or more) consecutive days by breaking it up between the later part of one week and the early part of another.

I've got a lot of hours next week, which is awesome, but I'm certain I have a consecutive week's worth happening here. I'm on next Tues. through Sat., and it would be nice if I had next Sun. and the following Mon. off, but I already KNOW there probably isn't a chance in hell of that because those are our two inventory days and I highly DOUBT I'd be getting out of that.

And all the hours I have next week are certainly do to inventory prep, and of course we're always short on help, SO I'm gonna have to burn myself out for those five days and then participate in this inventory crap, making it a full week's work without break.

And this inventory crap last year SUCKED. I do not want to have to do it again. Last year there were FAR too few of us to try to help out and deal with comparatively far too many of the people form that inventory company that comes in to do it... And most of them aren't very nice. Hated working with them. Will be so glad when that crap is over with.

Bad enough the dreaded inventory is on the 23rd and 24th... So me watching the new TMNT ep is probably out. I gotta go be tortured instead.

If any others who do or have worked retail and dealt with the people from RGIS... it's them.

[Vegita-San]

How to 'trigger' people who claim to be above such things.

Simply say 'ghostbusters'! and watch the swear words and insults fly.
It's 'fun'...sigh..

People who so calmly dismiss your problems like they don't matter, as if you're not reading things....


people who throw insults willy nilly, and then when you are sufficiently depressed, magically cheer up and expect you to laugh like nothing happened.

sadly the latter people are family. sigh.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

My bank account. Three days til payday and I have less than 10$ left. Yikes.

On a semi related note, it was Monday-ing all over the place at work. Place was getting swarmed literally as soon as I walked in the door this morning and it never let up. Almost felt like a Friday it was so busy. Barely had time for a break. And we were down our dining cleanup person so I had to do that for a while. Yay.....

[BubblyShell22]

That we're going to get storms tonight. I really hate how I feel when we get them.

[mrmaczaps]

People who stop being your friend, but still have other people watching your public social media posts so they can tweet about it... Just pick up the phone and call me if you're mad at me already...

[IndigoErth]

Direct manager and lead apparently both having off today, and no daily schedule sheet thingy on the board with notes so I might have been able to know what my manager would have preferred I be working on given that inventory is coming up.

[BubblyShell22]

My dad trying to act like Mom doesn't take him outside at all when she took him out on Sunday when it was nice out. It's really hot now so we're not going to take him out, but he was whining about it to the nurse today. This is getting old.

[Papenbrook]

I hate it when people take advantage of any situation, and then try to make it about themselves.

Usually, these people will insert themselves into any situation and state their perspective of the problem.

It's selfish. I don't understand why people do this.

[BubblyShell22]

Could you elaborate a bit on this?
