The not happy thread

Mmmmmmm....nevermind, this isn't a thread for homeschool vs public school debates.

I had to drive in Phoenix today. Stressed me out. And my sister just texted me to ask if I could write her a letter of recommendation...and have it to her by the end of the day. Makes me tired.

Oh, and my manager called to let me know there was a chance to get some overtime hours working at another store tonight, but I had to turn it down because it's my only day off and I think I might die if I work any more hours this week...but now I feel guilty for not working when they needed someone...

Edit: Wow, that's really frustrating, especially for such a small amount saved. Isn't there some way they can maybe just shave a little bit from everything? Seems more fair...

 

well there are alot of small things they can do like lower the heating by 2 degrees which will actually save alot and they probably will

the thing is they need to get rid of about 6 million dollars so undesireable cuts are unavoidable

but swimming doesn't even put a dent in that, it's not like cutting swiming or the other sports they are proposing as well will get rid of half of the deficet or something

 

What can Domhnall possibly think he will achieve with this? I doubt the council even knows that he is back here, or if they would even know why. I'm beginning to suspect that he's only trying to cause trouble for his own benefit, but, then again, he wouldn't have returned from his gap year unless someone he trusted had tipped him off. And, if someone has tipped him off, what could they gain from him behaving like a warlord, gathering people to a 'cause' that might not exist?

Nothing he does makes any sense whatsoever...or perhaps I'm missing something. I really don't know what to do about him. I suppose I could try and stop my girlfriend speaking to him, but that would make him suspicious.

Mention that, but be sure to propose an alternative. Or, if you don't want people interested in that subject to hate you, perhaps just tell them how fundraisers could cover the costs of the pool, without any impact on their finances. Their argument will be redundant, if, of course, yours is convincing (if not necessarily true - you may need some 'examples,' pulled fresh from your backside)

 

Dumb move on my part. Playing very sad songs all in a row at night. Now I'm all depressed.

 

Exactly. Instead, go check out the piano chat improv dude on Youtube. It'll cheer you up.

Can't sleep...and nothing rubs it in like lying awake and miserable next to someone who is blissfully snoring in your ear.

 

Oh, that is so sad...and the start of many a novel...
Look after yourself, Carmina.

 

As we speak...I am in the office escaping my husband's blissful snores only to have Juneau follow me in..make herself comfy...and snore right next to my chair. Gotta love dogs.

 

Yeah, I noticed the time on the other post I just saw from you.

I hope you were able to get some sleep soon after. At least doggie snores are more soothing than bothersome.

 

Aww, Mina, I hope you got some rest.

 

Things are going insane in my town.

Let's take a look at the things that have happened in recent weeks:

1. Some rapist who was supposed to be in prison and on work release was found pulling out of the Hardees in town, when his work was 45 minutes away.

2. School goes on lock down because there is a (different) crazy rapist running around town high meth.

3. Two guys dressed as leprechauns went and held up a bank yesterday, then got into a shoot out to the police. After one of them died, the other killed himself. They have discovered the leprechaun shooter is also the Santa Robber from Christmas.

4. Today, they evacuated all three schools because of a bomb threat and we sat outside for an hour and a half waiting on the bomb squad and watching 32047923 cop cars pull into the parking lot.


Yeah, I feel safe.

 

Well, the third one is in international news, so I think you may need to update this

 

are you serious?! I wanna see! I wanna see!

 

Here

 

Holy crap, Em!!! Come live with me, that's scary!

 

Even leprechauns don't look for the crock of gold at the end of the rainbow these days.
Keep an eye out for the Easter Bunny, Em.

 

Ultimately, though, I'm well aware that if things got bad enough, there is a large group of rednecks who would go on a, um, hunting trip if we ever got enough crazy rapists. I do believe we are also safe from alien invasions.

Oy.
Easter bunny. *shifty eyes*

 

It's on the Times website, that story

 

I spend most of my time alone. Today though, I'm lonely and very much aware that we say a last goodbye to a dear friend as his ashes are scattered.
Normal service will resume shortly.

 

My body is stressing me out. High-Low. High-Low. High-Low. Added to the public stigma of being "mentally ill" -- it's a stressful disorder to say the least. I feel like my body is cycling in seconds, and I can't stop it. Something to tell my psychologist, I guess. At least the medicine seems to be working.

 

WriteWizard, no offense, but you sound so defeatist. Do you think that might be part of the problem? Perhaps if you worked on controlling the condition, instead of letting the condition control you, you'd end up happier. That's what you want, right? To be happy?

I know disorders can easily get the better of you, but remember - there are worse things out there than being Bipolar.

Hope you feel better soon!

 

I'm crying and I don't usually do that, ever. What an awful day.

 

I'll give you a big hug, and won't even reach down to brag to my friends.

 

Hahaha well thanks for making me laugh at least, Pro.

 

Alright, I want a grab now. Just kidding. This too will pass. Never compromise on who you are. I'm living proof. I can sit in this cowboy bar, and type supportive posts to you between shooting pool and everyone accepts this. Carve your niche.
