I hear you there, LL. I've got that with a family member who just constantly tries to make her problems ours when there's nothing we can do about it. We just say, "Hey, you wanted to get married, and so you get everything that comes with it whether you like it or not. It's not our problem anymore."

People who say that Rock music is for old people.
If that's the case, then I'm a million years old.

the fact that I have been sick for over a week now with a nasty tight cough. Yesterday was the first day I woke up without a fever. And even though some of my symptoms are subsiding I am still plagued by coughing fits that wrack my whole body and make it hard for me to breathe. And I have continued to go to school and work in spite of this. Although my professor sent me home on Tuesday. I felt embarrassed because I felt like an idiot but you are only allowed one excused absence and I had already used it up for that class that is why I came in. He told me to go home and seemed a little grossed out by me. It sucked.
On days I do not go to class I have been sleeping until I go to work. I just want this to be over already. I hope I do not have a lung infection. I have too much school work due soon to take time out.

I don't like when people want to hold a lengthy conversation with you when you have to use the restroom or you have to sit there and smell bad breath. You don't want to be rude so you hold your breath the best as you could.

Me. I am grinding my gears. I have been screwing up royally in almost every single aspect of my life and it is all my own fault.
I am screwing up financially because I am behind on my life insurance, car insurance, gas bill, and electric (I am shocked I still have elstricity right now), when I do have money I cannot seem to keep up with all of my expenses and my cell phone will be shut off by the end of today. And i owe my mother and father money because I am expected to help out on property tax and rent for being able to live in my grandfather house. (my dad acts as my land lord) And I might have to redo my taxes because I was lacking a document that I need to tract down and I am freaking out that I might not make the deadline. I even owe about five hundred in college fees to the school I go too that was due last month. And I have a broken washing machine. I have several unpaid parking tickets from school because there are limited places to park on campus so at times I park off campus. It is not an issue now but later on this year I might have problems if I do not take care of them. I am screwing up socially because my friends say they never see me any more and they are cold to me sometimes when they do see me. Almost all my friends have some kind of crap going on in there lives. Two of my friends are fighting with each other and I am stuck in the middle and both feel like I am taking the other ones side. I am trying to stay netral. One friend who is a stay at home mother and I know she is put out by the fact that I never volenteer to baby sit her kids. She is always dropping these not so subtle hints that she wants someone to take her kids off her hands for a day or over night so she can maybe have time to herself or maybe go back to school or get a job. I don't feel comfertable doing this because I am niot good with small children and her youngest has serious attachment issues and screams and becomes difficult when my friend (the mother) is not in the same room as him. There is tension now between us. I am screwing up with work because obviously I am not doing as good a job as my bosses want and I got a poor evaluation recently. Lately I have been assigned as a door greater which is a job mostly for people on disability or senior citizens, if you or not in one of these two groups it means you are not doing well at your job and they just do not have a good enough reason to let you go. If I lose this job I am screwed. I am screwing up domestically because my house is a mess and I have almost no motivation to clean it. I look at some of the things that need to be done and I almost want to cry. I have a hard time cleaning up after other people, and my older sister (who lives with me can be a slob) it is not unushual for clean dishes to me taken out of the dish washer and placed on the counter RIGHT NEXT TO DISHES THAT ARE DIRTY NEXT TO THE SINK SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS A CLEAN PLATE/GLASS/UTENSIL AND WHAT ISN'T UNTIL I ACTUALLY TRY TO USE IT! I am screwing up acedemically and this is the worst of all. I am not doing well in my classes I am struggling in all of them and it is depressing the hell out of me. I am screwing up in one course that I was so excited to take this semester which is screen writing. I have always fancied my self as writer and the fact I am doing poorly in this course is a serious blow to me (it is almost like an identitiy thing) and the work load is intensive and I am seriously considering dropping the course. But I do not want to say uncle because it is a writing course. I have a draft to a screen play due a week from today I have not started yet because I am having trouble with the format among other things. I am very, very disapointed in myself. I am also very behind in all my production courses and my instructors wonder if I can even catch up at this point. It is not easy to learn some of the technical techiniques in these courses and I obvisously need to put in more of my time out side of class to learn them enough to do the course work. Which has been my biggest issue this semester, and why I am having trouble putting in enough time be succuessful at that while putting in time to write a screen play that is supposed to be 90 to 128 pages long in correct profesional screen play format. Truth be told I am wondering if it is even realistic if i can succeed in this major. Which is a bad thing since I am a senior. I also have to consider how this might affect me because I get financial aid and dropping a course is generally frowned upon by them. I'm kind of freaking out right now...

Sage, sounds like you just have a tun on you at the moment. I think you're being too hard on yourself. Lots of folks tend to beat themselves up at this point in the semester, especially when taxes come into play. Then there are all those wonderful due dates for papers and such. Your friend shouldn't automatically pick you to babysit. I mean, if you can't do it, you can't do it. Glad you put your foot down and said no. I know a few people who can't seem to do that and tend to burn themselves out. Doesn't your friend see that you've got quite a bit on your plate? Guess not. Hope things ease up for you soonest.

I normally don't publically bitch, but y'all need to know about thie ebay seller: Aaron.Schrom
Sells me this on March 27th at ~11.15 PM. I get a tracking # about 30 minutes later and I'm on cloud 9 thinking deal of the century... The next day the seller messages me stating they would have to refund the money due to the item being lost/misplaced, flags go up... I reply, ill-mannered, stating that I don't appreciate being conned over 6 bucks. Seller responds stating that "Dear sofistocat,the honest truth is that my 2 year old boy got a hold of it and ripped it up. I'm not trying to con you out of 6 bucks. I refunded the money asap. I am sorry that wasted your time.- aaron.schrom" OK, I'm due to have my first child at the end of August, so I've been much more understanding of things like this and I sympathize... My response to seller: "Dear aaron.schrom,You didn't waste my time. I apologize for the scathing message, I have been getting duped on ebay a lot lately. I would have rather heard the truth initially, it's completely understandable... Aren't 2 year olds fun? We are expecting our first child in late August. Unless the comic is confetti, I'm still interested in purchasing it. I am a low grade collector and this wouldn't be the first book I've stitched back together. I have been trying to find this book in low grade for some time, so I am open to getting something that's been ripped up. How badly is the book damaged. If it's something that scotch tape can remedy, I still want it. Please let me know, or if you could send a pic or two that would be perfect.Once, again, I apologize for the harsh words. It was completely uncalled for. Regardless if this works out for us, I will post positive feedback. Have a good dayMike- sofistocat" Offered to take the book anyway just to have it... The book shouldn't have gone in the trash as the seller stated it's whereabouts. "Dear sofistocat,its bad. I had to yhrow it out. . He fit the cost and pages.i had it out on the table when u was getting the packing and shippikg label printed off thru I already paid for  .. And yes 2 year olds are.. my wife and I have a 5th on the way in September! like I said I have so many tmnt books and the offer still stands if you look through my store ill cut the price... And sorry I wasn't honest I just thought it was far fetched and looked like I didn't take care of my comics.- aaron.schrom"And life goes on like it never happened, no harm no foul... Now today I'm perusing the bay and see this... The red flags are back up and I'm pissed and feeling duped... I've contacted eBay and was told "a report would be filed" by some outsourced indian just trying to do her job. As I said I don't normally bitch publically. I just can't help but feel foolish because about 24 hours ago I PayPal-ed Jim Lawson 100% of the profit I made selling some bootlegged prints. I'm huge on karma and have been tryng to figure out why I've been forsaken. I'm mad at myself for not sticking to my guns, because I had a suspicious feeling even when I got the "my son ripped it up" story... I have nothing but contempt for people who play on the sympathies of others Stay away from seller AARON.SCHROM / TMNT GUY ebay store. Dishonesty at it's finest... 2 wrongs don't make a right, but I bought the book again. The seller did not state how soon to pay so I will have to wait, indefinitely, to remit payment... effing douche

Sorry Sophistocat! I've been wanting to buy a few out of print MST3K DVDs on ebay but am very hesitant because of stories like this. Yeah, not all sellers are crooks, but it'd be just my luck to get jipped. lol

This does not apply to all sellers at all. I've been on eBay for 12 or 13 years and have had very few problems. I sell and buy and 99% of the time, there's no issues. It's not even not having the comic, it's just the dishonesty...

Oh I think I've got a good one today
You wanna know why I wasn't on here much yesterday? Turns out that our Internet wasn't just out, both connections outside the house were cut. Yes, cut with a knife or scissors from what the Internet repair guy was saying. I was home all day yesterday and noticed our Net acting funny around 9 or so in the morning. Whoever it was didn't try breaking in or anything. There's a highschool not too far from here. It's getting closer to graduation for seniors, so I wouldn't put it past a couple of them cutting class and deciding to get cute. We'll have to talk to our neighbors and see if these guys have tried it around their houses. A tun of us do the wireless thing. Could also be some idiot who thinks he knows allot about using other peoples' Internet/cable without paying for it, and up and broke it because he isn't as techno savvy as he originally believed.
This whole sitch reminds me of an old boyfriend of my cousin's. The moron broke into a Target the day of their graduation. I kid you not. He stole some sort of game console and the idiot forgot about the cameras. So he runs over to the house right after and Kelly lets him in, thinking he's just been out late or something. He gets caught by the cops a few hours later, misses his graduation, and ends up in serious trouble. I never even thought of doing stupid crap like that. This guy had never done this sort of thing before graduation day. People need to learn that they're not untouchable. You risk it all enough times and you eventually lose it all. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's vandalism. I mean, the guys around here didn't even try breaking in. What's the deal? Net guy was pretty sure it was kids and I have to agree with him. There's also a middle school very close to us. Of course the kids there aren't supposed to leave campus, but I imagine some sneak off just because they think they can without getting away with it more than once. I'm just glad no one tried breaking in here. They'd be in for quite a shocking surprise if they ever decided to do so. I do mean shocking. hehe We do live in quite a safe neighborhood, but I still like to take precautions.

That sucks, man. I fully understand, though. However, in our home, the surprise might not be shocking, but they'd certainly get the "POINT" that we don't take that stuff lying down. Actually, that would be several points, all of them very sharp and close at hand. Yes, I like sharp pointy objects, and I know how to use them. I'm kind of funny that way.

Homework. The reason why my grades suck is because sometimes after school I'm so wore out and emotionally drained I just refuse to it, but it's taking a toll on my grades and making the possibility of me working at Mcdonalds 10 years from now seem more of a reality. There's only one quarter left so I'm gonna try and do homework more and just push through it. It ain't gonna be easy, but thank god the year's almost over. So yeah, Homework grinds my gears.

Hey, don't knock working at Mc'D's. It's not that bad, really, and sometimes it can be fun. We get a lot of regulars who are great to chat with, and make the day more enjoyable. Plus, if you ever want to move up, it's very easy to do. They even have their own "university" for people to get into upper management levels, and have plenty of bonuses, perks (like cruises) and other benefits. I know that fast food is often seen as the kind of work fit only for people who can't do anything else, but it's actually kind of rewarding in its own way. Think of all the people who start or end their day with a quick bite from the drive-through, who depend on those smiling faces! Yup, that's me, I'm the friendly window girl who takes your order and makes your coffee so you can get through the day!

Ya know, McD's has never sounded like a bad place to work at all. Yeah, you can def move up. Even if you don't, the window gig sounds like fun. I'd go crazy if there weren't any people making America's favorite fries. I enjoy their nuggets as well. They're cheaper than chick fil-A and I enjoy them every other month or so when I muster up the courage to eat out with a bit of mad money. Seems like you get more bang for your buck at McD's too. McD's was a childhood staple of mine every once a month or so, and it'd be quite a depressing day if no one wanted to work their anymore.
I wonder if the McD's experience depends on which McD's you work at. The folks around our area seem like they have a ball with it. I always try to be as nice as I can to the window and counter people because you never know whether or not some jerk just left, getting away with being an ass.

I love doing the cash window in the morning, we get a lot of regulars who always say hi, and some of them are really nice. Of course, we also get a few people who are just flat-out d*cks, but what can ya' do when you work with the public? One older couple even gives cards to all the drive-thru workers every X-Mas- I've been there three years now- and they even put come cash in the cards for us as a thank you. Last X-Mas mine had a 100$ bill in it, No joke. I was stunned. They also have a beautiful boxer they bring with them every morning for her "treat"(a sausage biscuit), and I always say hi to her, too- she actually looks upset if I don't! What's funny is the manager from the Starbucks across the street comes over twice every day and gets one of our frappes!
