The not happy thread

Sore throat
Headache
Have to go into school tomorrow, last couple of lessons before exams

 

The customer is NOT always right! Grrr!

 

Grrr.

My MIL is driving me insane! She's staying with us for the week and I can't stand it any longer!! Pleeeeeease just go home.

She says to me today:

"Why don't we get take away tonight?"

"I'd prefer to cook.. We can't afford to be buying take away atm."

"It's ok, ill pay. I like take away on a Friday night."

She knows damn well my Husband would NEVER let her buy us dinner, she just says that so we'll agree and then we end up paying for it. Not to mention the fact that I've done the shopping this week and there is ample food in the house... but I give in, I can't be stuffed arguing. Then she says to me later on today.

"Why don't we go out for lunch on Sunday for Mother's day?"

"Look, we can't do both ok? We either have take away tonight or lunch on Sunday. How much money do you think we have?"

"Oh, why do you have to make things so difficult? It's Mother's Day"

\%$*^%(%&* *&%^&$

 

Argh!!!! I would pack an overnight bag and go and stay with a friend until the end of the week.

 

Yesterday was dry and sunny for the most part. Now it is raining again and I am going camping - in a tent - tomorrow!!!! When I let the dogs out first thing, I heard the first cuckoo of the year. Is it trying to tell me something?

 

My head aches, I'm sweating even with the AC AND the fans on, the temperature is at 40 degree C, and it's too darned hot! I want to be freezed into a block of ice for a month!

 

The year manager for my 6th form is a nasty, insensative, patronising bitch, and I hope she gets ran over by a bulldozer.

aaand this belongs in the unhappy thread. My bad.

 

I still have two hives on my knee from those insect bites I got Wednesday. I am wearing a brand new white blouse...and got Slim Fast on it. At least it is Friday.

 

Ouch. Just try to hang in there until she leaves! And comfort yourself with this thought...at least you don't live with her.

 

Both are very good ideas. Let me know if you'd like some help. I'm always down for that kind of thing.

 

Sure, you can be in on it,

but I get to keep the head *Sadistic cackle*

 

Nervous. just tell her to be less of a Mother...

(on second thought, probably be better to only THINK it loudly)

 

Ha Ashleigh, evil!

I had my last ever Art lesson today, and last physics one with my nice teacher, and won't get her next year..and aw I'm going to miss the people who are leaving, it'll be so quiet and sad next year without them.

 

*hugs* I understand...I've already shifted, I'm missing my friends so much!

 

Aw poor you it really does suck doesn't it?

We only have 2 more days together now! No more games of psychology and cartwheels on the field..or embarrassment in the music block *starts reminiscing*

 

*starts crying*

Oh, but my bff shifted here too...though I'm here just temporarily before I shift again, but we're going to start music lessons together from Monday..


*cheers up*

 

I was woken at 8am from a lovely snooze, by this horrible giant wasp buzzing around me It's dead in there somewhere, and I'm too scared to look. LOL.

 

My sympathies, sister!
We get ants each spring and centipedes / milipedes / whatever --slimy things! each summer, and I still have a hard time killing them. Usually I just trap them under a cup and wait until dad's around to get it.

Plus, that's just a horrible way to wake up.

 

essh it was horrible. It's like my ears are tuned to hear the buzzing of wasps, lol. I leapt out of my bed faster than i've ever got up in my life, LOL. I ran to get my mum to go and get rid of it. She said she flushed it down the loo, but I dont believe her, I think it's still dead in here, stinger produding, and i'm bound to step on it

 

A proper burial at sea. I have my dad do that, too. I cant stand the idea that they'd be in the trash (what if they're still alive!?) or down the sink (I get my water from there! They're probably seeking revenge and will land on my hands when I wash them!), so I have to make sure it's down the toilet.

I'm sure you're fine then. Just...put a screen up over your windows or something.

It's kind of funny that a great deal of people are scared of little bugs and insects. Wasps, understandable --they hurt and can sting over and over, and are generally vicious little things, but little ants and flies and crickets and stuff, why is that? *intrigued*

 

'cos they're uurrrgleh.

 

Ants can start munching on the wood too, and some of them can leave nasty painful bites. The formic acid they leave in the bite is named after them (formica is Latin for ant).

 

I wish there was a "I could kill" thread! cause id be posting in that one, but anyway.

Short - Been working for around 2 weeks (4,000km from home). Have. HAD two weeks to go (a little under), but last night one of the workers send up with us decided the get drunk and.....well i can't say what happened because, just in case, but he screwed MASSIVLY.

Anyway, me and another worker are being sent home tomorrow (I hope, cause it can't be fixed) to help clear up what could be a dangerous situation for us (Its ok, we are 10 miles out of town....which isnt much out here though). Anyway for 4 weeks it was supposed to be a $20,000 job. Now, we are being told we may not get paid.

I have spent over 2 weeks away from my girlfriend, i have cried myself to sleep because i miss her so much, BUT the money was frigging worth it, and now, i might not get paid.

$#@! that, $#@! This job. I'm #@!$#@ quitting

 

And I would have thought that's where the plastic brand came from, but after some very reliable Wikipedia-ing, I have found that this is not the case! Something about minerals and rocks (then I got bored ).

This would explain quite a lot, actually.
Are those only the fire-ants, or do black ants secrete formic acid, too? We get the nasty, huge kind. I think they're called carpenter ants...

Edit: Speedy, oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. You should at least get paid half of the sum for half the time you were there! That's... you should look into that; they cant send you home because of something you didnt do and then not pay you for two weeks of work!

 

aww Speedy that sucks...fingers crossed that you get paid! And if you have to go back, look at the bright side, you'll be back with your gf....cheers to that


The "Unwanted" factor works for me again. Only this time it's not family.
I had a heart to heart with my paternal grandmother today. Turns out the whole "you're not wanted by her because you're a girl" drill my uncle had been feeding me for the past 12 years was all BS...she'd always wanted us to visit her and go to her, but she was kept in "quarantine"...my Mother and she don't get along, and my mother is educted and using her "knowledge" to full effect so she can't live with us and is stuck with my Aunt, who's illiterate, but does her best to keep Dadi in "quarantine". Dadi feels like a guest in her own son's house!
And then my friends...I mean what do I do wrong everytime? I'm just me, I make mistakes, talk to me, tell me, I'll do my best to correct them. Instead they start ignoring me. I hate it but I don't know what to do. Am I full of flaws? Do I act too pushy? I can't help it, I'm way too friendly for my own sake, over-enthusiatic, wayy perky. I know some people can't stand me, but I don't know what to do, I try my so very best to act mild, but then me being me, I become myself again .
