That Moment...

I think answers are different for everyone. That's frustrating too! I may look at your situation & know EXACTLY what YOU need to do. But it may not be right for you at all.

I know I need more discipline - not let my feelings pull me around by the nose all the time. If something continues to upset me, I need to avoid that situation, rather than going and doing the same things over and over again, as if I'm punishing myself! It's just crazy!

Regarding relationships (my most frustrating problem), a guy gave me the best advice I could ever need. He told me men are pretty simple. If a man wants you, you'll know it. Otherwise, it's time to move one. But that's because I want someone who wants me. These women who try to control and manipulate men to want them, blow my mind. I really don't understand why anyone would want someone she has to coerce into being with her.

Off topic, but a good example!

 

TMW I stumble over the one poem I love in a book where I never expected it. It's not a well-known poem. It's not a well-known book, and about the opposite to a poetry book. But apparently this poem symbolises not only a whole lot to me, but also to certain other people. See me stunned to find myself in good company.

 

TMW you've been playing Dragonball: Xenoverse 2 and Skyrim: Remastered for so many hours that you completely forgot your plan to write today.

TMW you decide to go onto MS paint and draw a sketch of how your characters are acting to this.

 

Aww... you poor thing. I empathize, I tried to resign a couple of weeks ago but failed.
-sigh-

Work stress over a prolonged period is tough. For me, it's not having a strong manager to back you up on the difficult decisions, escalating politics and every moment is spent fighting fires in all directions; when nothing seems to work because the software is that awful. That manager is now in the past. But after a snap moment of anguish, I set up a meeting with my new manager and shocked him with my resignation. Keeping in mind, I broke down in tears from months of stress and didn't make much sense.

To summarize what this good man calmly said to me, "No one blames you for the state of the system. Just do what I ask you to do and ignore everyone else. Somebody else can sort out those other problems, you can't take all this on yourself. If you need to take some time off, I can arrange that. I think in six months time, we'd looking at a different picture. But you need to do what I ask you to do!"

Lol. I actually like this gentleman from my past dealings with him, and a good manager is worth their weight in gold. Especially as you get older, when it's harder to jump ship.

Anyway, this was my TMW. On the plus side, that weekend was the first in almost a year that I felt relieved from thinking about work.

Take care of yourself, Moose.

 

TMW you're standing in your doorway, unshaven, mildly hungover, wearing a ratty Simpsons t-shirt and cut-off sweats, and the pizza delivery driver says, "Oh, hi Professor Aschendale!".

Shit, they know where I live now.

 

Oh god, though i did by accident one time. Found out a teacher of mine lived round the corner from me, i was on my way to the nearest shop for milk when he came out of his house to go to his car. *awkward*

that moment when someone gets shitty with you because you've been busy and forgotten to respond to them. i do not appreciate the snarky comment a day later on private message about it. I have to deal with this guy a lot because he's in most of my lectures and i could really do without him being like a lost freaking puppy following me around...

 

TMW you feel so stupidly dense right now.

My fantasy has a leige lord and a city, but it took me YEARS to figure out who was gonna rule that city.

I'm an idiot. >:[

 

Tmw when "I told you so almost feels good" - but but but I won't. I'm not that kind of person!

 

TMW I'm having a hard time being funny & making jokes! Too serious - not like me!

 

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you @Link the Writer but if you keep acting like an idiot you're gonna feel like one. Get a grip, bru! Just sayin'. Learn how to treat your woman right! Good f*ckin' grief!

 

Hope I didn't offend you. :[

 

I'm sorry I said that. I was angry about something.

 

TMW I was just thinking about how horrible that reply was & I came back to apologize & well, there ya go.

 

tmw ... are you serious? you don't really think you scare me do you? you just REALLY get on my nerves. bless your poor heart.

 

Wait, wait, I don't scare you?

I'm really confused here.

 

lol I wasn't talkin' about you! I was talkin' about that weird person in the neighborhood basement who keeps flashing 'follow the rules' sign at me. Puhleeez.

I'm so sorry @Link the Writer . I'm afraid our relationship has gotten off on a terrible foot!

 

That moment when you realise most people on planet earth
are incredibly naive.

 

Well, good thing we can always start fresh.

TMW you are looking through this (http://historum.com/american-history/122018-sickles-gettysburg.html) and you are convinced that it discusses some undisclosed history about the Battle of Gettysburg where random citizens charged enemy lines with actual, literal sickles...only to learn it's about the general himself.

 

you're a real American history buff. I admire that about you. I think it's interesting but not real familiar with it. Well, I mean, I'm an American, but I don't know my history like I should. We should all appreciate it more.

 

TMW you find a book with a really interesting premise, but the prose is too purpley and pretentious for your taste so you can't read it.

 

TMW you wonder what it would be like to live through a People's Revolution and overthrow of the current government.

 

TMW you wish you had robotic overlords.

 

That moment when you have to admit your house is as cold as a morgue. You know this because your cat died early Monday morning, it's Wednesday evening, and her poor body is still stiff.

 

TMW current politics in America makes you fear either a revolution or a civil war is brewing. Hell of a time to be alive...
