The not happy thread

I can definitely understand not talking about it, but I'm here if you need to. I hope you're doing ok!

Poor Lydia! I hope your head feels better and you're able to get some rest.

 

Not unhappy, just nervous! Dan's visa medical examination is today and I'm really nervous for him!!!!!

 

I doubt he is carrying any dread diseases from the Wilderlands of Great Brittain.

 

He could have man flu. That stuff's purty heavy round these parts.

Okay, I'm sick of this McIntyre stuff now. It's been three years and yet still nobody can get over the fact that I resemble him. Today, I got shouted at in the street, held up in a corridor and pointed out in HMV just because I look like the guy. Jesus, can't I just go one day looking like me?

 

Xeno, he could not have brought the flu in from G.B., he hasn't been there recently enough. He has no flu symptoms, and even if he did, it isn't something he'd be denied a visa for.

 

*wonders if 'man flu' is not as international as he thought*

It's a joke we have here, nothing medically based.

 

Ok, since when does "we need to go to the store to get more supplies for the centerpieces" translate into "please get on the internet and watch reviews of new video games"?

Gaaaaaaaaawd. I love having Joel home and hanging out with him, but it's soooooo much harder to be productive when he's around.

 

So you are Michael McIntyre?

Joking aside, that isn't fun. Hopefully he'll get a new look at some point, leave you in piece. I remember when I was younger I had black hair (yes, my hair's got lighter over the years) and people would point at me and go 'Harry Potter!' just for having black hair and specs. Horrible

 

I am having severe issues get my boatload of homework done

it's not helping that I'm constatnyl debating what to do about tolo

high school is really annoying

 

Editted.

just nevermind.

 

Suddenly, I feel very bad for always calling one of my employees Harry Potter. :redface:

I'll go to tolo with you if that will help.

*hugs*

I hope, whatever is going on, that you feel better soon.

 

Thanks.

I just take comfort knowing that eventually I will die (the rate I'm going, I really hope it's sooner rather than later) and none of it will matter anymore. All the same, while I'm around, I suppose we wont give up now. ? ?

Oh, and in my self absorbed rant I didnt pay attention to previous posts.

Xe, Michael's not a bad guy to resemble (It could have been the other Michael, the Jackson Michael, or Michael Moore), although I get your frustration.

Yellow, get used to it, unfortunately. But take heart! Those who say that high school is the best time of your life must have had really awful lives.

 

Haha. Sorry, Merc but I loved that comment. I can totally relate--not right now, mind you, as it's too early into the quarter, but later for sure.

 

I'm certain he won't pass a psychological test after having to cope with the school holidays combined with my mood swings (which are a constant ongoing nightmare I am woman, hear me roar!) and Tobin's non stop crying LOL! THe man has gone insane!!!!!

Xeno... LOL!

 

Is insanity considered a liability down there?

 

X Boyfriend + I don't wanna' change my cellphone number = He sends me these sad little Hey where are you IM's all the time.

It pisses me off.

How much clearer across the span of years (yes, years) can I be?

 

you could charge him with stalking or at least say that you will.
works sometimes

 

Feeling down today. I have been having a lot of anxiety about the prospect of maybe having hours cut or having to take furlough. I am also unable to find the contract for the copier, which I know the boss is upset about. She had me reorganize files in December. Now I can't find it. I may be paranoid, but I sense that boss is not happy with me lately. I am terrified of losing my job. I had similar feelings shortly before a previous job decided that it didn't need me in a full time position and eliminated my job replacing it with a part time position for half the pay. I have been having a lot of headaches lately. All i want to do is sleep. I feel like I could cry at the slightest provocation. I have rehearsals in the evenings now. Already feeling run down. Is is Friday yet?

 

That apparently my guilt likes to chew away at me weeks after it happened.

So I shall confess.

To be honest, I really, really do not know how to interact with blind people, even though I've been around them plenty of times before as a child. Because I'm deaf, I'm unable to speak well and make my intentions clear.

I shall put up two instances where I totally failed. Both occured in my university.

#1- As I was walking from the cafeteria to the library, I noticed a man being led by a guide dog and an aide. Feeling the urge to say something, I said "I like your dog". Right then, I felt like ramming my head against a tree. I could've asked them a intersting question about the dog (like, "I've noticed most of the guide dogs here are black labradors. Are they only in that breed or what?"), expressed my interest in some way than just a frickin' comment like "I like your dog" that made me look like an ignorant loser with no brains at all.

#2- In another instance, and this is the one that continues to gnaw at my conscience. I was leaving a crowded building and right in front of me was a blind man with a cane. He was clearly confused, trying to work his way into the building, but he was stuck. Did I help him? No. I just walked past him, just like everyone else did. Sure he got into the building a few seconds later, but I felt like such an ass. I could've taken him by the arm and said, "Need help getting in?" Granted I probably would have screwed THAT up as well, my inner critic's lambasting me for not even making the attempt.

Yeah, that's what's bugging me.

 

sometimes not doing anything is better off though. Some blind people take it offensively when you help them. It is one of those 'no win' situations.

 

Yeah, I can see that.

Still, it sucks though. At least I can say proudly that at one point back in high school, I led a blind girl through the lunch line after she asked me to help her. Of course, after I returned her to her classmates and resumed eating, I spilled my juice all over my pants, and of course it was in my crotch area so it looked like I wet myself. XD Oh, karma, how you loathe me.

 

don't be hard on yourself, at least you aren't one or the morons out there making fun of them. That angers me.

 

You're right, Torana. Thanks.

 

Ugh. My ex still on occasion messages me (or has former friends of mine message me). Fun stuff, people not getting the hint and leaving well enough alone.

I'm sorry, Mina. I hope things start getting better and that you can stop feeling so stressed.

Seconded. In that sort of situation, it's really difficult to know the best course of action to take, so I wouldn't beat yourself up over it.

 

I had a tooth extracted today. My face feels a lot better now than it did a few hours ago, but it's still going to be pretty sore for a few days.
