What do you have to complain about?

[redqueen]

At the moment, I have a lady who insists on standing right outside the front door to this reception area and having her lenghty, loud-voiced cell phone conversations in the hallway. I missed her not being in the office while she was sick, but I didn't miss hearing all the blah blah blah.

:banghead:

[EstimatedProphet]

1. Complain?

I want to complain.
You want to complain! Look at these shoes. I've only had them three weeks and the heels are worn right through.
No, I want to complain about...
If you complain nothing happens, you might as well not bother.
Oh!
Oh my back hurts, it's not a very fine day and I'm sick and tired of this office.

[Parche]

2. try hearing that on the bus/max

:banghead: :hi: :hug:

[Broken_Hero]

3. Leaky pipes, nt

[Shell Beau]

4. The silverback bitch that came back from her Thanksgiving vacation today.

The office was so serene without her here. I despise this woman. I hope I get to fire her one day. She reeks of bad karma. And she sabotages people's work. She better not fuck with mine.

We call her silver back because she looks just like one. I know that is mean. Shoot me. I can be mean sometimes (not often thankfully). Even though I didn't come up with the term, I sure laughed my ass off when I heard it used to describe her.

[IndianaJones]

5. ha. nt.

[IndianaJones]

6. cold weather. nt.

[DS1]

7. Never having the opportunity to inspect Susanna Hoff's baby hole

x(

[Lucian]

8. I have a bunch to complain about, but it's all petty and trivial.

[Arugula Latte]

9. The laundry keeps piling up and there's never enough. money. Oh, and we're all going to die.

Other than that, not much.

:D

[MorningGlow]

10. My husband's being an ass?

:shrug:

[ashling]

59. Can't you transmorgiphy him or somethin?

[MorningGlow]

60. I'm 'bout ready to turn him into a toad

Too bad I made a vow about harming none and all that white magic stuff.

[ashling]

62. After all, its for his own good

think of the opportunities for personal growth that come from experiencing life as a toad.

He'll thank you for it! LOL

[MorningGlow]

65. That's what *I* think!

A learning experience, exactly!
:rofl:

Funny how he doesn't quite agree...!

[BOSSHOG]

11. Arthritis in my knees which intensifies in cold weather

very uncomfortable and painful but my wife pampers me like a baby during these periods.

[Parche]

28. Hey Boss

Toughen up sailor!!!!!!

Maybe she will take you to 'Popeyes'?
:woohoo:

:hi: :patriot:

[BOSSHOG]

51. That would assist in curing what ails me

I think her care is self feeding. The more she pampers me the whinier I get.

[mcctatas]

12. Aside from all of the divorce wackiness...

when I came into work this morning there was a foul odor throughout the entire Institute, apparently our sewer backed up and now there are not enough glade plug ins in the world, coupled with the fact that you cant open the windows because it is a secure facility, I am sitting here breathing in a toxic soup of human waste and cinnamon apple holiday glade!

:puke:

[PaddyBlueEyes]

13. cinnamon?

hmmmm...

[mcctatas]

14. Yeah well, the human waste smell is winning the battle

so far, good times, good times

[PaddyBlueEyes]

15. LOL

whiner...

[RadiationTherapy]

25. If you can smell it, then little tiny particles of it are landing on your tongue and nose.

If that helps.

[mcctatas]

27. oh, yeah, that helps...

:spank:

[PaddyBlueEyes]

33. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

funkdafied...

[RadiationTherapy]

37. I have had to leave or throw up a couple of times because of this fact.

The fact of "atomized" shit.

Good luck.

[RadiationTherapy]

38. I have had to leave or throw up a couple of times because of this fact.

The fact of "atomized" shit.

Good luck.

[azmouse]

16. My hands are cold.

[malta blue]

17. nothing really....

I flirted with a boy today :blush:

[redqueen]

36. Fun!

:hi:

[LanternWaste]

18. Cycle of Cluster Headaches...

I'm in the middle of a cycle of cluster headaches. :banghead:

I usually don't complain about them, or even mention them, but you *did* ask... :P

[arcadian]

19. Nothing

Though I don't have a lot of money, I still live way better than probably %95 of the planet.

[justabob]

20. the jackhammer next door

[Aristus]

21. I've got four final exams next week, and I don't feel prepared for any of them.

Hold me...

[redqueen]

41. Yikes...

I only have one, but I'm feeling more confident every day (so far... that could change like *that*).

:hug:

[taterguy]

22. It hurts when I pee

[PaddyBlueEyes]

24. Better get that checked out homeboy

That aint good.. LOL

[RadiationTherapy]

26. you probably got da gonno-caca-coccus!

[Skittles]

23. I work 12 hour night shifts

Saturday I have to go in two hours early to deal with a disaster recovery drill, then stay two hours late to help cover a CPU swap. Why? Because they have laid off so many people.

[redqueen]

57. Ugh.

But hey... it means productivity is on the rise!

:bounce:

:eyes:

[Inchworm]

29. I don't feel like typing that much

:D

:grr:

[Midlodemocrat]

30. redqueen won't talk to me.

:cry:

[redqueen]

39. Ha!

What am I doing now, then?

:P

:hug:

[Capn Sunshine]

31. The Industry I devoted 20 years of my life to is a smoking wasteland of destruction

Never thought I'd see the day when no one wanted to buy CMOs and derivative swaps, but there you go.

[NewJeffCT]

32. The economy sucks, Saxby Chambliss won, I live in

Joe Lieberman's state, I'm essentially a single parent on weekdays, the NFL cheerleader nanny idea probably ain't gonna work out, I haven't seen a movie for me in the theater since Iron Man, I'm tired, and nobody on DU wished me a happy birthday on Tuesday.

[Midlodemocrat]

34. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I didn't know. I will take care of that, post haste!!!!!

:hug:

[redqueen]

44. Happy belated birthday. :)

What... you don't take your kids to the movies?

I haven't seen a grown-up movie in the theater since Iron Man. If that counts. :P

[NewJeffCT]

47. yes, I take my daughter to the movies

but, I meant movies for me - like the new James Bond movie or similar.

and thanks

[Fire Walk With Me]

35. They still haven't released the marmosets.

Ren Hoek kept saying to, but it hasn't happened.

[mcctatas]

40. do you think it is a conspiracy between Stimpy and powdered

toast man to thwart Ren's marmoset freeing proclivities?

[Fire Walk With Me]

72. I hadn't considered that.

:wow:

[harmonicon]

42. bloody fucking hell - I wish I could complain about that shit

How about being fucked with? Having your emotions manipulated? Wanting to puke. Shaking. Trying your absolute hardest to deal with a situation that makes you want to scream or just fall down and writhe in pain, because you want to make yourself a better person than you really are, because you know that there's a slim chance that you could be that better person. Fuck this. Seriously, I have no idea what to do. I want to disappear, but since I can't, I'm going to drink this bottle of bourbon, wake up tomorrow, and do it all over again.

[redqueen]

43. Oh trust me... I could do that too...

but it's not happening right now... it most recently happened last week. I ain't one to be dwellin in the shit.

Hope you feel better and can leave it behind you soon. :hug:

[harmonicon]

49. I tried

It just came back to bite me in the ass. When being somewhere actually causes you to become feverish, that's probably not good.

[redqueen]

54. Check your PMs. (nt)

[harmonicon]

56. consider it done....

[Midlodemocrat]

45. I thnk you're a pretty good person, already.

And, I'm sorry you're having a hard time.

:hug:

[harmonicon]

50. cheers

I don't have any boxed wine, but if you want to come over, you can share this 5th of Jim Beam with me.

[Midlodemocrat]

53. I DO NOT DRINK THAT STUFF!!!!!!

:rofl:

But, thanks. :hug:

[harmonicon]

55. why don't you drink Jim Beam?

[Midlodemocrat]

58. LOL. I mean boxed wine. I don't drink liquor, either, though.

Just white wine. And not as often as I'd like. Sigh.

Damned kids.

[harmonicon]

61. fucker

How are your kids going to learn what to fear and when unless you're a girl-drink-drunk?

White wine? Seriously. Drink a man's drink, like bourbon, and listen to music by gay men and cry in front of a computer like I do. That's what makes you cool.

[Midlodemocrat]

63. You mean my charming personality and sparkling wit don't make me cool?

:cry:

[harmonicon]

64. no, you're the coolest,

Fonz.

[Shakespeare]

46. At the moment, not a lot.

On the big-picture front, everybody I love is healthy and reasonably happy, I'm doing okay, and my job couldn't be better.

Considering some of the truly awful things fellow DUers have been going through lately (and given that one of my almost-in-laws is doing okay after hideously tough surgery this week), I'll be grateful for the important things, and not sweat the small stuff like moderate financial pinches and these fucking menstrual cramps. ;-)

:hi:

[ThomCat]

48. I've been sleeping 14 to 16 hours per day

so I haven't been able to get off my ass and get out there to wait in line and apply for the services I am going to need.

Chronic fatigue is kicking my ass. but I have to get out there. :(

Anyone want to come over and help drag me out of bed and come with me. x(

[redqueen]

52. Damn...

set off a stink bomb in there or something. Maybe that'll motivate you. :P


Seriously though... good luck finding someone to go with you. That always makes those trips easier. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

66. All this packing that isn't getting done by itself.

:)

[redqueen]

70. Gah... no kidding.

It's giving me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it. I hate moving!

But once you're all settled in... ahhhhhhhhhh. :)

[SOteric]

67. Seriously?

If I gave you the list it would instantly turn this thread into a country and western song. Suffice it to say, I'm hanging in there.

[lizziegrace]

69. ...

:hug:

I can relate.

[redqueen]

71. If it would make you feel better, then yes.

:)

If not, then not... it's completely up to you.

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

68. My mother thinks I should write a book

Musings on a fucked up life? Anyway, if I had to re-live it, I'd be committed. I just have to keep going. x(

[redqueen]

73. I have another complaint.

My friend is sick. :(
