The Not Happy Thread

This is also what I like to call The Thumper Defense.
Keeps you from saying mean things to people even when you want to.

 

I had a lot of practice at this with my sister growing up. She, however, never seemed to really get it (or, more likely, she just damned well didn't give a shit)...and still doesn't. Hence, nowadays, we don't speak.

 

Seriously, glad I hung around for the details. Envisaged 'thumper' as pre-emptive retaliation... you know, 'thump her'. Doh.

 

and... grown further into the character, starred in alt. 'Bright Eyes' — furthered into the killer rabbit in Holy Grail and Elmer Fudd, well he'd be long gone.

 

Sounds like the stuff the gardener I just fired was doing. Ten to one, your mother's plumber is an alcoholic / drug addict and "crafted" that correspondence while drunk or high. ETA: Sounds more like drunk.

 

Yup, I had an eBay deal go wonky once. Bought and paid for the items instantly, after a couple days I got an email from the seller saying that his mother had had a medical emergency and shipment would be delayed by a while. Since he had a lot of transactions and a good positive score, I believed him. About a week later he sent me an email confirming my address (Japanese addresses look funny), and I confirmed it. Then he said that he didn't believe the address and thought I was running a scam. This was a ten dollar item, with maybe four bucks shipping on top of that, but I was still very new to eBay and didn't have a long transaction history (sub-10) to back me up. I told him if he didn't believe me, we should just cancel the transaction and I'd do my shopping somewhere else, so he did. I left a "Neutral" feedback with the comment "Transaction canceled by mutual agreement". He left a "Negative" feedback with the comment (as best as I can remember) "SCAMMER BEWARE LEARN TO USE FAKE ADDRESSES @SSHOLE!!!!"

Reported that, and thanks to his saying "@SSHOLE" and violating eBay's code of contact, the whole thing got expunged from my record.

 

Got to work forty minutes late today because I was having an episode of my mental disorder. Feeling like shit now. I hate it when days start out like that.

Also, I forgot to bring my headphones so if Irritating Radio Dude shows up later today and turns on his music again, he won't like what's going to happen.

 

Thanks, man. At this rate, I'm probably going to eat all the chocolate in one go... and then feel even worse.
Or maybe I'll only eat half of it, then the rest for comfort. Yeah, that's a good plan.

 

Left this morning, a few dirty dishes in the sink. Two cats in the house, fed, given boxes to play in, etc. Come home, dirty dishes still in the sink. Not a goddamn one of the cats pulling its weight.

 

Same problem in my house...minus the cats.

 

Hopefully it won’t take to long to get there. And there’s nothing wrong with having a chocolate binge once in a while. I did it yesterday. Some of the stuff I got was two for one. So I had the free ones

Could be worse. At least you don’t have cats.

 

This is genius.

 

Make no mistake - the stuff I’m sending to @Jenissej is what I paid for. I ate the free ones. I’m not a bloody cheapskate

 

Oh man, I wish I had gotten such a deal. You have no idea how hard it was to have this box of chocolate sitting around here all this time, teasing me with it's delicious, sugary existence, and not eat any of it.

 

You're right, no idea. I rarely make it past the setting it on the counter stage before devouring the stuff, wrappers and all.

 

I tend to avoid buying people edible gifts, unless they are stuff I don't like. That's the only way the stuff is gonna be safe!

 

Having what I call a sticky day. Feeling emotionally muffled, and I can't seem to do anything. Keep drifting out and staring into the middle distance. Also, just noticed that my chest feels crackly-yet again. Same as the last two times when I had a chest infection. I know that it is likely either to be caused or compounded by the damp flat that I live in, but don't have the ability to move out of at the present. Oh, and I have no chocolate...but that part may well be a first world whinge.

 

Wow, no chocolate. Puts my desperate and suffocating loneliness into perspective.

 

I have an inkling.

 

Reminds me of a dream I had as a kid, where I took a giant chocolate bar to a friends birthday party, and couldn't get it through the door.
