Ammanas Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Only made that mistake once. I now have two separate alarm clocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Just used my new waterpik. So much BLOOD! That thing really worked though. Had a piece of hamburger stuck since we ate 3 hrs ago driving me nuts. Gone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammanas Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hah well I have one alarm on my phone. But if I am too lazy to get up I have a alarm clock across the room that I have to physically get up to turn off; if I can't get to it on time (set 3 minutes later) it lets off a ear shattering wail. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelEy3 he/him Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Just pulled my back shoveling a half foot of snow that was left for me by the evening shift at work. They never touched it once... And never do. It's ridiculous. They also don't clean up spills and other messes cause "the night guy cleans anyway." Well that's not an excuse to make it harder for me. I'm so done with playing their catch-up work. I don't even care anymore that it reflects poorly on me that things aren't done. I don't get paid enough to be the only one shoveling. Commercial snow removal is hugely expensive and they've been getting a free pass on it. Everyone else can either pitch in and help or they can start paying me extra for it. I'm done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you got injured in the process of doing what they should have makes this so much worse. I know that I speak for the shard when I say get well!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Winter is over. It just went away 2 weeks ago. Pollen, flowers, ants,wasp, mosquitoes, green growing grass, A/C needing to be turned on, 80+F bringing sweat out after moments outside. i hate spring 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mestiv he/him Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I left home relaxed and sure that I'll make It on time to the bus stop. I was late by 1 minute and saw my bus leave without me :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulk he/him Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 any spare hugs lying around? I'm in need of them. Without writing a dissertation (which is what I would need to detail the stresses and depression I'm dealing with) I'll just say monetary issues are eating me alive, most immediately regarding repairs needed after Hurricane Harvey blew through and did a number on my roof. Work's busy which is a good thing, but it's becoming overly busy because the agency I work with runs everything on a shoestring unless it's a pet project of the COO. My three kids...just too much there. Driving me nuts. I need solitude to recharge but am not getting anything like enough. I have depression exhaustion right now - the sort of depression that makes me so tired I struggle for the energy to do anything. And lots more. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 6 minutes ago, Shqueeves said: *hugs* I changed courses because I had a mini panic attack in the exam. I'm doing a 6 month course in Aged Care to help me go back to my Dip of Nursing. I felt like a failure and felt stupid for doing that course. It is helping though. So I'm already a bit fragile but I need to make a stomach doctor appointment. The receptionist was rude and was actually asking me why I was seeing her! None of her business! Her: Why are you seeing her? Did you have a procedure? Me: Yes, but this appointment is not for that Her: Is it a review? Me: No. I need to see her. Her: Why? Me: BECAUSE SOMETHING IS HAPPENING WITH MY STOMACH AND I NEED TO SEE HER!! Honestly I'm putting in a complaint. Such a breach of patient confidentiality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammanas Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) @Steeldancer I don't know whatever became of your internet situation, but have you offered to pay the internet bill? That way you would have say on how it was being used. Or even splitting the cost. Right now, since they are paying for it, they really do have the right to say how it is used. I know its hard to tell tone on the internet, but I am honestly just trying to be helpful. Edited March 2, 2018 by Ammanas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesura she/her Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) I'm still adjusting to driving in the city where I'm living for university (I'm from quite a small town so multiple lanes of traffic is a bit stressful). Drivers here are so rude!! You indicate to change lanes and they speed up to cut you off!! Some guy just turned in front of me at traffic lights (I was on a green). I watched the This post has been reported for attempting to skirt the ruleshole smirk at me as I slammed on the brakes in the middle of the intersection. I'm still shaking.

Nathrangking he/him Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) My mother fell this morning and hurt herself. As I am the only other person at home early in the morning I had to take off from work today to help her. We had to go to the doctor he thought it was just a bruise. We went home then the doctor called and informed us that a specialist to whom he had sent the x ray of my mother's foot found that one of the bones had chipped. He put her in a boot and on crutches. She has little idea of how to use the crutches and she keeps trying to step on the bad foot. She refuses to let me help her and I'm at a loss as to what to do. She worries about Pesach/Passover despite assurances from both myself and my father that everything will be ready. The whole situation is extremely frustrating.

Robinski he/him Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 That's rough. My mother is 92, still lives on her own, although she has a friend there 50% of the time. She broke her ankle a couple of years back and had a boot for... I'm thinking 3 or 4 weeks(?). She's fiercely independent, but we were very fortunate to have other people around, and carers who went in regularly (thank goodness for the UK's NHS). I can't imagine having to deal with that even two of you, with the added pressure of a major festival coming up. Are you and your dad able to share your frustrations? Leaning on someone else can make a difference, not necessarily making things easier, but fortifying you to get through. Have they given you a timescale for the foot healing? I see you've got a good couple of weeks till Passover. Hopefully your mom will be reassured that things are taking shape and that will make things easier. Good luck! You can do this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
