I went over to my BFF's who lives a couple hours away, a girl who is been my BFF since we were five.  Planned to stay until Sunday.  Managed overnight before bipolar said OHAIDERE and I had to come home.

Sounds more like schizoaffective disorder... hehehe. You have piqued my curiosity, however. Message incoming.

Not necessary.

Hey!
It ain't easy being (olive) green.

@Toz - my university sent me a mailed packet and two voicemails within a week of my graduation asking me for money. Meanwhile, their job board offered only babysitting as an option for application that was accessible to my field (everything else was music or dance or full illustration T_T). 

I sent an email to the university president and haven't been bothered since. >>

I can't stand feeling like I either can't do anything right lately or that when I try and help things I actually make them worse.

Repairing my Toshiba laptop from 2008 seems to be an extended exercise in discovering what new extremely specific kind of screwdriver I don't own.

Last time I cracked my old one I used a pocket knife instead of a screw driver. Computer screws are weird.

So about 6 months ago I dislocated my shoulder and tore one of my shoulder muscles. I did this playing Football (American) for my team the Lancashire Wolverines. I was discharged from by the Orthopaedic specialist in January. I played a game yesterday and got tackled and brought down. It wasn't particularly viscious and I didn't land funny. But I did land on my previously injured shoulder. Now I can't move my right arm at all and it feels exactly like it did when I first tore the muscle. It's also potentially ended what was looking to be a really promising season in the pre-season. Just so frustrated and angry. 

Riluo

I did this in football (soccer) with my knee, it took two seasons to fix. So I can empathise

Shoulders are whack, man. I tore my labrum and subscapularis and should have had surgery, but I rehabbed for very close to a year before I got back into any heavy pushing movements.. (push press / bench, anything over 225 I just refused, even when I felt like it would be easy) 

That seems like a pretty short period of time before getting into anything rough. I think our trainers would have stabbed me in the kidney if I tried to play football that fast, rofl.

I was pretty desperate to get back into it, and it's been absolutely fine for the last 6 or 7 weeks I've been training. I've watched the hit back on film and it was a little bit worse than I thought

I need money so much, and my job is crap, so the only way I have to get said money is to take more shifts / hours whenever they're available. Whenever winter ends (June, maybe? Canada.) I will be trying to find a new job, but most of what I am qualified for is only marginally better than what I have now.

My mad/sad/rah is that I am working back to back shifts for as many hours as I can right now, and I still feel like ends are only just barely meeting.

Part of that is myself pushing on myself, and my money woes aren't as dire as I've probably convinced myself, but it feels like I'm swimming in circles right now. Gotta go to school for a better job. Can't work less at my current job to have the time to go to school, or ends -won't- meet. Can't do both, the energy doesn't exist. Face->Desk.

Aishia

@Daingean You'll pay for that mustard somehow. Life is like an endurance contest sometimes.

Thread splits make me twitch pretty consistently. I know why, and I understand, but I have to go re-read all the old posts I already read, and then try to figure out if there's new threads. And it drives me up a wall.

...If someone splits this rant into its own thread, and I know someone's probably considering it already (looking at you, @Lin) - I might dropkick a baby.

Actually, I'm usually the offending party when it comes to thread splitting.

Yeah I know you are. But if anyone would split my rant off into another thread, my money's on it being @Lin >: (

After a solid three hours of rebuilding my disemboweled laptop, I have eight loose screws and a nonfunctioning backlight that necessitates removing the entire LCD bevel again.

Areka

Lost my job, one cat's got the squirts, the other won't stop climbing on top of the fridge, grump grump grump. 

Aishia

On the bright side @Areka at least your cat isn't getting the squirts on top of the fridge.

Areka

This is true. I tried some cat treats with them to try to coax the kitten to endure lap time, I think they've upset the tripod's stomach though so stopping using them. That or it's a slightly different mix with their food. 

The kitten just makes me jump,  I'll walk into the kitchen and he'll p ush paper towels down on me (I store them on top of the fridge). 

Jensen

Job loss sucks, sorry Areka

edit: cannot get the feel good picture to work, sad sad

Needy clients who do not seem to understand how long it takes to get things done.

You (ambiguous annoyingly constantly calling family) are not my only client! I do really want to help you and your family get your memorial in last minute, but you really should have been more prepared when you had <15 months to put this together and have been actively working on the design and layout all this time. Your constant phone calls asking questions and checking on the status do not make things go faster! They slow me down! Did I mention that this month has seen us remarkably short-staffed so I've been pulled between a bunch of jobs as well as training a new employee as well?

So most people know me, know I have to eat really picky and carefully due to the fact I have Crohn's disease.  Lately I have been a bit lax in my dietary needs, (or avoiding certain things rather).  Though once in a while you want to go out and have say a single drink with dinner, or perhaps something spicy, or maybe something with bread....its freaking hard and something I have been battling with for a long time.

This morning after a fun couple nights with my boyfriend and going out to really delicious restaurants, (Creole to be exact...oops spicy) I woke up with my bed soaked in blood and looking like a murder scene. (Thank the unicornsing gods I have black sheets) Due to my disease I basically will start coughing up or just leaking blood from any digestive sort of orifice when I have aggravated my insides enough, since as the doctors say my digestive tract looks like hamburger meat.  Anyways, here is to a couple days of awful internal pain.  To top it off, I can't take pain medicine due to allergies or well digestive issues.

Im done ranting but man, waking up looking like the prom scene from Carrie is never fun.

Ezrax

Good god. I was going to come here to complain that Blizzard keeps screwing up helping me unban the account they accidentally banned. But now I just feel petty.

Piper

I just really dislike co-workers sniping at me when they know I won't say anything because I'm with a patient and won't comment back. I have several unprofessional co-workers that do not mind outright arguing with even the patients and then sucking up when the doctors are looking.

I'm so very seriously consider
ing going to the doctors about this because it's getting tiresome to keep apologizing to people for another person's actions.

Elwyn

A co-worker of mine was a no call, no show today, so I'm -fairly- certain this is the last straw and she'll be fired -and- we have another one out all of next week because her brother died on Tues. Needless to say, next week is going to be a very long and stressful week at work.

Toz

I just spent 40 minutes raking water off of grass. My shoes? Soaked. Socks? Soaked. Pants? Drenched up to the ankles. I don't get paid enough for this *grumble*.

Areka

When we get a lot of rain in the city, the curbside lakes (unattended DITCHES at street corners, particularly where wheelchair ramps are) become so large that my little legs just can't leap like the gazelles around me can, so I end up ankle-deep in dirty, pissy water that soaks my pants to the knees.

I feel you. 

Toz

You should just hop onto some gazelle's back, @Areka. Ride them over the ocean before you.

Haern

I just want one good night's sleep.
