The not happy thread

I am just in a pissy mood. I cant get motivated, it was a long, less than relaxing weekend. The husband wouldnt help with the sick, screaming baby yesterday because 'it was his day off' and get this, I dont deserve one since I stay home. Everyday is my day off. I'm just bitter, and I'll get over it...just not soon. He's lucky I love him so much.

 

Aww! Slap him upside the head, that's not right. That's unfair.

 

As a husband and father ... I second Gi's advice. Of course, i usually favor anything that involves hitting someone else.

 

Man, so many sick people and bad days! I'm sorry, everyone. Hope things get better!

Mina, do you take cranberry pills or anything? Not like while you have a UTI, just in general? I get UTIs very frequently, and so I started taking cranberry pills every day, and it's helped so I don't get them as often.

 

Thankfully my unhappiness isn't due to sickness. I just picked up Medieval Total War 2 Gold Edition, only to find out that the graphics card on the computer that my parents gave me isn't good enough to play it. So I just ordered an new one off amazon and it'll be about three weeks before it actually gets here and I'll be able to actually play my new game.

 

I'm pretty sure I have, unsurprisingly, two more ear infections, one in each ear. I just put in the preventative drops (not sure how much help they'll be as the infection feels pretty full-blown), and now my left ear is bleeding.

I am not sure how to react to this, but the pain sure isnt very fun.

Sometimes, I just want to chop my ears off, or get some sort of ear donation. I'm pretty sure I've had more ear infections than everyone on this forum combined. I'm debating asking if a second set of tubes in my ears will do any help, but they're so expensive, and we cant really afford it. Not that we can keep affording medicine every time I get an infection either, which is at least once every two months.

 

Ohmigosh merc, I am so sorry!! That sounds so horrible, and I hope it stops soon.


*trying to cheer you up* On the bright side, you could walk up to someone who's talking and say "You're making my ears bleed. Shut up!"

 

That's actually 'bloody' hilarious!

It's not like it's bleeding profusely or anything, just leaking a bit of blood. Profusely or not, it's still not supposed to be happening, obviously. I am a tad bit concerned...

 

My brother had ear probs as a kid, so I feel your pain.


But if you want to go through with the plan, you could mix ketchup and vinegar and maybe water and spread in on your ear--after it gets better of course.

 

Man, I'm not much of a gamer, but having something new and not being able to use it for that long would drive me crazy! Sorry, Shadow.

Awww, poor Merc! I get earaches a lot too (though not nearly as much or as bad as it sounds like you do ), so you have my sympathies. I hope the preventative drops work so you don't have to go to the doctor for it. For coming in such a small bottle, earache medicine can be really expensive!

I hope your ears feel better soon!

 

Grand total of how many times I threw up yesterday: 12.

Plus, we've had to cancel my driving lesson for today in case whatever I had is given to my driving instructor so unless we can get a lesson for tomorrow morning I'm pretty much going to be going straight into my test.

 

Sounds like everyone is having a sucky time at the moment. Hope that it all gets better soon.

I'm not unhappy, just annoyed at the moment. I'm just sick of people sticking their noses in where they aren't welcomed is all. <end rant>

 

One word: mousetraps.

 

Ugh, three rejections in one morning

 

^ We both go through it honey. "All part of the process" as they say. Atleast neither of us have had bad feedback, it's all been good,they just always say "Not for us this time".

We just have to keep sending untill we come across the right one. Someone's gonna pick one of your stories up and be amazed pretty soon - they're all so fantastic and brilliantly written, they'd be fools to pass you up xx

 

Awww, I'm so sorry!! It'll get better soon, Xe. Ya just gotta hold on. Plus if you threw up that much the bug is probably out of your system.

 

I hope everyone's days go better than yesterday!

And thanks for the suggestion to smack the husband, trust me, I've thought about it. haha I woke up sick today and he took the baby so I could sleep an extra hour, so he got a few brownie points.

 

Tonight my aunt and uncle are dropping off three of their dog with us. That will bring the total of dogs in my house to 5 for the next week. Steve and I had warning about this, however...Bucky is sick. And, when I say sick, I mean maybe dieing. My aunt and uncle are going to leave paperwork giving me permission to have him put down if it comes to it. I really didn't sign up for euthanasia when I said I would dogsit. I am hoping they either a) do it before they leave if he is really that bad off or b) leave him at the vet to be boarded. I really don't want to be in the position to put someone's dog down or watch them die at my house.

 

Congrats! That puts you head and shoulders above most people who wouldn't have the guts to even submit stuff. Even more important, you didn't say a thing about giving up. You are well on your way Matt! proud of ya.

HUGS 'Mina. I'm so sorry. This can't be easy for you.

 

Oh, that poor doggy I hope he's okay.

 

Actually, I just finished the first draft of a new story

 

I rep your spirit!

 

I'm so sorry 'Mina. That sucks so bad, especially if you have an attachment to the dog. But nevertheless, maybe they shouldn't have asked you that. It's their own dog, and if they need him put down it's sort of a private, family thing. Like, they'd want to say goodbye. Maybe point that out to them?

 

Ok...so if getting extra dogs tonight weren't bad enough...I just heard from Steve. He did NOT get the job in Fairfield. The Company decided to use a different temp group. From what I have learned about this group..I don't blame them. The woman from the group who interviewed Steve transferred out of that office without even telling Steve anything. She kept saying she was going to call and then not calling. Steve finally called today to have the receptionist tell him that Kim transferred and the company went with another employment agency. Steve is "livid". He actually used that word. I don't blame him, but feel bad that there is nothing I can do. I already had plans to have lunch with mom. Steve told me not to cancel even though I offered to come home and be with him. Screw that I am coming home anyway. I am just SO grateful I don't have rehearsal tonight so I can spend the evening doting on him.

 

^ Doting on him? People get job rejections all the time...it's something that he's gonna have to get used to dealing with, unfortunately.

It's either that or they don't reply for months, and then when they eventually do, you've forgotten that you even applied for the place and moved on to something else.
(In the last week i've had replies to two other jobs I applied for - and told them that it's too late now. I'm going to be going to school soon and I've got myself another job anyway)
Either way, it's nothing for him to get annoyed with himself about that would require any molly coddling...the place was unreliable is all. It's annoying, but nothing that he could've controlled. He'll just have to keep looking!
