Enourmo posted:i did everything right and still hit a loving pit how the gently caress can i bring myself to believe it'll ever work? Because you don't have a choice? All you can do is keep at it, if you work hard and and least TRY to keep a positive attitude things will be ok in the long run. But if you give up and mope nothing is ever going to change, ever. 1500quidporsche posted:Seriously the biggest lesson I've learned in life is that nobody wants to hear me bitch. Pretty much. My wife has to pull it out of me when i feel like poo poo because i honestly think no one wants to hear about my health issues. I don't complain about anything anymore and I'm just thankful I'm living at this point

Do I get to complain about my neighbor calling me at work (as in on the phones at work, not a cell phone that she has the number to) while I was dealing with customers to complain that the poor condition of my yard is the reason her house isn't selling? And demanded that I either come home right then and do gardening or pay someone to do it for me. Now I'm trying to decide I should decide if I should spite her by going full redneck and parking a rusted out late 80's firebird on cinder blocks in the front yard that "I'll totally get around to restoring!!!!" or just ignore her and watch her eventual meltdown.

I don't complain about anything anymore and I'm just thankful I'm living at this point I still end up doing it once in a while but end up wondering why the gently caress I got so worked up afterwards and yeah things have gone so much better for me by just not bitching. I got a far better bonus and performance review compared to the year before and the only thing I've changed other than not bitching as much was working at home on Fridays where I usually just nap on the couch with my laptop open and send the occasional email I saved as a draft earlier in the week so it looks like I'm hard at work.

Find out where she works, phone her up, and tell her to gently caress off.

The company I work has been getting new cars in two weeks for the past couple of months. Initially rumors were they were going to be Jeep Renegades or maybe Chevrolet Captivas but somehow we all got disappointed when a brand new Chevrolet Trax showed up in the parking lot. I got to drive one today. Trip report: +Nice big tacho and digital speed readout, a la Sonic. Looks cool. Easy to read. +1.4 turbo 4 seems to pull nicely. It's not fast but the power delivery is well suited to this vehicle. +Transmission is pretty good! It has a legit manual mode that will shift quickly and hold gears. -Somehow a brand new compact crossover with 70 series tires rides like poo poo. -Handling is not confidence inspiring. The vehicle feels top-heavy and there is little feedback from the road. -No cruise control. My daily work steed is a fleet spec Focus and it felt like a race car around corners after driving the Trax.

The last time I tried to really let go my mom freaked and cried and made me stop before I even really got any catharsis out of it, and made me apologize I was raised all stuff upper lip and don't let people get to you meaning I never learned how to properly clear all that poo poo out and my "valve" is basically welded shut

If you PM me your address I'll amazon prime you a pink flamingo  . In fact, start a new thread where we mail you crazy poo poo to put in your yard, then take pictures of us and tell us about the reaction it gets!

I don't sit there dwelling on it but it grinds me to a nub during the day and 3.5 hours simply isn't enough to unwind all the stress without artifical means.

It's just my lawnmower and trimmer both just broke, my mother had surgery and needed money to pay for it, and they just fired some people back at the shop so I'm barely making ends meet but even more busy than usual. If it means so much to you, perhaps you could be neighborly and pay someone to do the yard work for me? If money is tight, you could do the work yourself!" And then pull up a lawn chair in your front lawn, put a flamingo next to you and the broken firebird, and drink BEER OF CHOICE ICE/LITE. While wearing jean shorts, a white 80s hair metal tshirt with the sleeves ripped off, aviators, and a trucker hat with a funny saying a la 30 Rock.

Holy mother of god, Quickbooks "support" is loving terrible. They keep emailing me saying they're going to close my ticket because they haven't heard from me and because their "backend support" hasn't followed up. Which always results in the same reply from me - "are you loving kidding?". They keep saying that the error I'm encountering is "user actionable" and entirely my fault. I've been trying to link a bank account for 6 weeks. Their product doesn't even ask for all of the details required by said bank to login to the account, but their product does give the correct URL to the bank's online banking.  It'd be one thing if they just shrugged and said they don't support that bank's online banking, but they keep trying to close my ticket over "user error" while claiming they do support that bank.They alternate between promising that they're working "fervently" to resolve my issue (the only time I've ever seen that word used has been in bad eastern European porns) and "you're not entering the correct login info, too bad".

Someone walked into traffic about 2am. drat. It's never that bad is it? That walking in front of a truck is the solution? Anyway, to cheer today up I've been called a lazy loving liar today, to my face. Because I won't embark on a quarter million pound safety modification with no proven benefit, no budget, no time in my plan and it's barely within my circle of responsibility. Requested by someone lower down the ladder than me. I'm expected to treat this person with dignity and respect when they treat me like that right to my face with their supervisor standing right there. I'm so loving angry. To clarify they identified a problem with their standardised work and proposed I make massive changes to the machine. I kicked it back because it's unreasonable and suggested they look at other changes, examples included, my boss agrees, I provided some documents that prove its a much bigger job than they thought. The documents (ISO guarding standards and excerpts from the 700 page verified machine technical installation manual) are all lies, I'm lazy and don't want to do it, apparently. cakesmith handyman fucked around with this message at 13:30 on Feb 24, 2016 |
