The Not Happy Thread

You've got it all wrong, man...we're staff, not them. Hell, yours have even managed to get themselves an attorney.

TRUE.

 

Cats are truly wonderful ^__^

 

I've had pretty bad head/neck pain the past several days. Let off a little when I took an anti-inflammatory, had zero response to a prescription pain killer. No response to heat or cold, either. Today it's decided to go from "ow, fuck" to "you can find Izzy curled up on the floor rocking back and forth".

I'm waiting to take the anti-inflammatory until tonight so that hopefully I can get some sleep, so I guess I just get to be in pain until then. I'm outta ideas and god knows I'm not going to the fuckin' emergency room.

 

Drinking lots of water, Izzy? That's been a big one with other friends who have been through chemo, and it's been hot and humid as hell. ETA: I remember my friend L's doc underlining it on her instruction sheet 'cause she hated water.

Sending you good vibes.

 

I do need to be drinking more than I am >.> Thanks for the reminder.

After my first chemo infusion I had crazy dry mouth and was all hopped up from the steroids -- basically manic, could not stop talking. Between those two things I was drinking so much that I swear I was in the bathroom every fifteen minutes, hahah. Since then I haven't had those particular side effects to help remind me, (un?)fortunately.

 

And tell yourself this often:

You are going to make it out.

 

You're welcome. I remember my friend's headaches were worse when she wasn't drinking enough.

I hope you feel better soon, Izzy. Until then, pretend you're one of those socialites in old movies who had nothing better to do than to lounge around in slinky pajamas. ;-)

 

In law, we have an old saying, "If you're strong on the law, pound the law. If you're strong on the facts, pound the facts. If you're strong on neither, pound the table."

The table at the plumber's is taking quite a beating, me thinks.

 

Absolutely right, drinking helps. A couple of bottles of this ought to get you over all of your troubles. You won't even be able to see or find the bathroom, especially combined with the 'roids.

 

So there I am, at lunch break with the coworkers, casually getting my phone out to check the forum and there is this GIANT FUCKING LEG MONSTER FROM HELL all over my screen!
I screech like a 1950's housewife caricature and get the phone the fuck away from me. I realize I'm in trouble, how am I gonna get rid of this picture? It's still open on my phone and I can't even look at it long enough to hit close tab.
So I explain what happened to a coworker and she says to give her the phone, she'll close it for me. But when she sees the thing, she starts showing it around, because goddamn hell is that thing even from this plane of existence, and the whole table erupts in discussions about insects and spiders. The guys opposite me start talking about spiders with googly eyes while I'm shuddering with the image and half crying.
And to make things worse, when my coworker hands me back my phone and I think I'm rid of this menace, NOPE THERE IT STILL IS. She forgot to close the tab. FFS please someone knock me out already so I get that picture out of my head.
And now I'm afraid to open any other threads because I don't remember which one it was... could someone maybe give me a warning, please?

 

Ahahahahaha. Was that the centipede picture I posted? If so, my bad, lemme wrap it up in a spoiler tag.

 

Oh god thanks.
Yeh, you might call that a centipede, I call that a fucking nightmare. Gave everyone else at the table a good laugh tho.

 

Heh. If it's any consolation, I, too, screamed like a 1950s housewife as the monster molested my leg. I also banged my head whilst trying to escape the beast, then I had to chase it as it ran all over my mattress at the speed of sound.

All of this at 4 in the morning. Very fun. >_>;

 

The horror. You poor soul. I'd probably have gone into shock or fled the house, then set sweet, cleansing fire to it.

 

Where? I haven't found it yet.

 

I was thinking about launching a nuke on my apartment. Just to be sure, ya know?

That moment when thread. It was a lovely moment. One worthy of all the screams and head pain one could get.

I saved my masculinity by smashing it with my hand.

 

So I bought the original Witcher game out of interest, and started a quest in Chapter 2 to save some working girls from harassers. The time is right and thersth no sign of them! What the heck!?

 

I need help with a plot thing, but I can’t ask my usual beta for help because I can’t spoil her.

;_;

 

Let's see...

My daughter woke up at 4 this morning and wouldn't go back to sleep. She's getting her last baby teeth, plus she has a cough, so she coughed herself awake throughout the night. That's fine. It sucks because she's super tired and acts like an asshole. I can deal with that.

So 7 am rolls around and it's time to take my son to school. My car won't start. Probably, it's the battery. Wife is already gone, so I have to put the baby in the stroller and walk my son to school. It's not too far. The baby decides to take a massive shit right when we get to his school, and guess what I forgot? Yep. The diaper bag.

It's been an excellent morning so far.

 

Your baby sounds really annoying.

 

Babies are fucking annoying. All of them.

 

That's always the struggle. In the middle of it, I'm like "fuck when does this bullshit end?" Then, when it's gone, I'm going to miss it. The good times far outnumber the bad times, but it's easy to get stuck in the sinkhole of toddler-induced frustration.

 

Hang in there!

 

Yes, they evolved that way and unfortunately now we're stuck with them
