The not happy thread

Sorry he didn't get the job, 'mina. And it IS aggravating when you're dealing with a job/recruiter agency, and the person who is "handling" you leaves wthout the rest of the agency never bothering to get back to you. It's sloppy and disrespectful. Would you continue to do business at a conventional company if they never filled your order, and when you finally ask them they tell you, "Oh, the person who was processing your order quit two months ago."

By all means, give hubby lots of TLC (not THC though ). I know this disappointment won't help with his motivation.

 

Thank you Cog.

 

I hope he doesn't get too discouraged by this, Mina. From what it sounds like, they probably chose to go with the other temp group because of the temp agency, not because there was anything they didn't like about him. I'm sorry to hear that he didn't get the job, and I hope you get him cheered up tonight!

 

Very, very, sad. Tonight I got news that I lost every personal thing I cared about, in a storage fire. Everything was lost, save a handful of pictures. My childrens pictures, very old furniture, little trinkets that belonged to my family over five generations past. Memories of my whole life are gone. I am sick...just so sick.

 

Ohhh my god. Poor Chimmy. How heart-wrenching, I'm so sorry!

 

That's horrible Chimmy.

 

Yes, it is. I'm sitting here crying because if I don't keep my mind occupied I would be in a terrible mess. I had my yearbooks, old albums, my baby shoes, my childrens baby things. It is just too much.

 

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear this, Chimmy! Dunno if there's really anyone can say that would make you feel better, but know we feel for you. Memories arent tangible, but the materials associated with them sure help.

 

That is really painful, Chimmy, and an awful shock.

All I can offer is that you are wrong in one detail: the memories aren't lost, only the tangible reminders.

Hold onto the memories themselves.

 

Oh God Chim. I am SO sorry.

 

Chimmy, I am so very sorry for the loss of those items. I know there is nothing that can ease the pain of losing so much, and such personal, sentimental possessions, but remember, those memories are forever locked in your heart, they will never truly leave you. My ex burnt a lot of things that belonged to our children when I left him, even went as far as to destroy birth certificates so I do understand what it is like to lose items of great value to your heart, like family trinkets and little things you held closest to your heart, even photos. I'm just very sorry that you have had to experience this yourself.

Massive hugs to you my friend, I am really, really sorry.



CAUTION: Hormonal pregnant rant. Sorry, just needed some where to get this off my chest...

Spoiler

I am also a bit upset, but more aggravated and annoyed at the moment. I went to the doctors, and my medical records weren't sent from the hospital in Perth to him, so he had no idea at all I had gone into labour early... then he went on to accuse me of not eating! NOT EATING? ME? Yeah right!!! I eat more than Dan and the kids in one day, I eat more than most of the people I know and most of the women I met at KEMH a day.

It really hurt that yet again, I've been accused of this, when I have actually gained almost 1 kilo in a week. How dare he tell me I need to eat more and accuse me of not eating. No I am not the biggest girl in Manjimup and my baby I am pregnant with at the moment is NOT the appropriate size for the gestation, but I am doing the best I can! I am eating as much as I can and maintaining a healthy diet and gaining weight at the same time.

I am so sick and tired of being of thin build and frame and being accused of having eating disorders, and now to be accused of neglecting my unborn child? It really sickens me to the pit of my stomach that he could say that. Fair enough my uterus measures at 20 cm and should be around 25, but that does not mean I am not eating. I can only eat as much as my body will allow me to and my unborn child can only grow as much as my body will allow it to. I am not God, I can not perform gosh damn frigging miracles! HOW DARE HE! I know you may think I am over reacting, and I probably am, but it really hurt my feelings in a major way to be accused of starving my unborn child. What kind of person does he think I am? I don't diet! WHY CAN'T DOCTORS GET THAT THROUGH THEIR THICK SKULLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very sorry for ranting, I just really needed to get it out.

 

I'm sorry, Torana! I know, doctors can be extremely rude sometimes!

 

thank you, Lydia.

 

I just found out that my school's head teacher, Sue Murphy, just passed away

God she wasn't old enough. She was a really nice woman, the kind that said Hi and asked how you are with a smile, even if she'd never met you before.

I knew she was unwell but I really had no idea that it was cancer Just thought she'd be off for a year resting. God that poor woman and her family.

Rest in peace Sue.

 

That's awful hun RIP

 

Anger! Real Anger! Doing TEFL course which each module takes 24 hours to get corrected each and everytime, I am on a deadline to do the course, and I get a correction and handed back and told to do it again, the problem is! here is the correction:

YOU OUTLINED SOME GOOD ACTIVITIES/TECHNIQUES BUT THE QUESTION ASKED YOU TO OUTLINE SOME SPECIFIC METHODS. You absolute knit-picking (i want to swear so bad!) Technique is a synonym of method and you! hold me back just because I did not directly use the title of the method. So its like some being asked "Please outline a specific battle of World War II" and you do the invasion of Crete Island and never mention the word Battle and the correction comes back. YOU OUTLINED A GOOD INVASION BUT THE QUESTION ASKED YOU TO OUTLINE SOME SPECIFIC BATTLE. Trust me, if you had to just add the words BATTLE OF CRETE ISLAND to the essay and you had to go out of your way to hand it up the next day you would be pulling out your hair too!

 

Obviously, I am incapable of getting anything right the first time round.

 

Aww, Xeno, how did it go?

 

Well I failed, so badly.

 

Oh, I'm sorry! Well, comfort yourself with the thought that I'd probably do even worse.

 

Doctors like that are the worst. I'm sorry he accused you of that, Tor! Don't let him get to you-you know you're eating healthy and taking care of your baby, and if he wants to be an a** and say you're doing otherwise when he has no idea what's going on, that's just ridiculous.

How sad! I'm very sorry to hear that, Ashleigh.

That would be incredibly frustrating. I'm sorry!

If it makes you feel better, Xeno, I failed my driving test the first time I took it, too.

 

Sorry for the double post...I just needed to get this out.

Warning: Whiny, ridiculous, angsty rant ahead

Spoiler

Yesterday, I got a myspace message from my ex's best friend (who, incidentally, used to be my best friend, until the pair of them decided to play "who can be the bigger a**hole and ruin Heather's life first."). February before last, he called me with this huge apology about how he had realized that my ex was a completely selfish waste of space and he was sorry he had ever let him come between us, yada yada...so I started talking to him, only to discover last Halloween that he was still hanging out with my ex, and that most likely the only reason he had started talking to me again was so the pair of them could hang out with my other former friends and talk sh*t about me.

Knowing this, I did the stupid thing and replied politely (vaguely and briefly, but politely) to his message. He responded with another, seemingly harmless message, and this continued until he got to "hey, where do you work?" May not seem like a big deal, but a large part of my peace of mind comes from knowing that (until the myspace messages started-please note, he isn't on my myspace, he just found it) my former friends and my ex had no way of getting in contact with me, didn't know where I lived, had no clue where I worked, etc. I replied vaguely and tried to steer the conversation in another direction, but after that the messages stopped. And while normal people just let things die after a breakup and go their separate ways, my ex and his friends are the type of people who will take a vague answer like "I work at an office supply store" and start visiting every office supply store they can think of until they find where I work and start coming in and harassing me.

I should have just told him to f*** off like Joel suggested...why is it that I have no problem being a b**** to anyone else who treats me badly, but as soon as it's one of them, I'm like "oh, I don't want to be mean"? Yeah, Heather...because God forbid you say something mean to some of the cruelest people you've ever met.

Urgh. Sorry for the rant...I just needed to get it off my chest, and I have no friends in real life, so you guys get to hear it.

 

Thank you Hidden. I appreciate that.

Also, I know what you mean with being nice to people that don't deserve it. I am nice to my ex and he treats me and my children like garbage, even now that we aren't with him anymore. It's a vicious cycle to get out of. Don't beat yourself up over it, but do let it out and get it off your chest.

It just shows the kind of person that you are. Kind, caring and that you are always giving people a fair chance. I'm sorry that these people are suck d*cks and treating you in this way, you definitely do not deserve it.

Karma will eventually come around and bite them on the ass, and then you can stand back and get a bit of a giggle out of it.

Big hugs to you darl.

 

I agree with everything Tor said, hidden. I'll go spraypaint bad words on their houses for you if you want.

 

And if not, Ami will!

Sorry, I just couldn't resist,
