But February made me shiver - (mini rants)

dear dumb ass desert gardeners yes were having our mid winter warm up
no it wont stay that way so please don’t get suckered by Lowes or home depot and buy flowers to plant early cause your just going to let them freeze to death …

There’s a way to prevent that on Chrome.

That’s what I meant about the “cat picture thing”. It doesn’t work for Huffpo- at least for me.

:smack:

That’s what happens when I finish reading a sentence before the end.

I was suffering through a hot flash while fixing a mess with my knitting, so I was getting grumpy quite quickly. My daughter informed me I was not having a hot flash. Instead, my inner child was playing with matches.

That actually cheered me right up. :smiley:

I like to think of them as power surges, not hot flashes.

A friend calls them “personal summers”. :smiley:

My teeth hurt. Bad enough to wake me up. Guess i can’t put off the dentist.

Just be glad you still have them.

Whatever happened to the workplace rants thread?

My rant: My boss is dumbass. He decided to get lazy at the beginning of January and let our office assign our own work for the month. The problem is we don’t have access to the master list like he does and so several things got missed. Now we’re scrambling to get everything done because it was all due in January.

  1. Awaken during the night from a disturbing dream.
  2. Decide to use the bathroom.
  3. While in the bathroom, hear the home security alarm go off.
  4. This system is not known for false alarms.

:eek:

  1. The dream that woke you up in the first place involved alternate scenes from The Amityville Horror.

:eek::eek:

  1. After everything checks out OK (there are no Stephen King-esque amoeboid creatures with glowing eyes lurking in the basement), go back to bed. Try to fall asleep.
  2. Ever realize how many tiny unexplained noises there are in a house? Ticking sounds…little ratchety scuttley noises…the sound of the furnace cranking and heat sighing up the registers…

No more sleep until dawn. It will be a double or triple coffee day today.

Well, a lack wouldn’t wake me up at 130 in pain, so it is hard to feel glad about that right now.

I had a blood draw yesterday , the vampire left a bruise the size of half dollar on my arm.

Here comes one of my twice annual nasal infections. The pressure just makes me want to sleep for a couple of weeks and never open my eyes.

On the other hand, have you noticed how many news sites go out of their way to select rather unflattering pictures of him?

Trump and a general lack of dissatisfaction (not that we’re all happy about our jobs, but apparently we’ve got other things to be unhappier about) tend to send it to the second page.

That’s because Trump suffers from Resting Bitch Face, or RBF.

I live in Houston. All this nonsense about the damn Super Bowl is driving me insane. The traffic is horrid, too. All that the news reporters can talk about is “the super experience” and garbage like that. I’d like to beat them over the head with their little news reporter microphones. Also, some of the tourists coming from out-of-state to watch the game are the most rude and inconsiderate human beings I’ve ever met. :mad::mad::mad:

How many ways can kidney disease fuck with my life? I mean, I may lose my job because of it. I lost a very close friend over it. I hate my body. I have depression and anxiety. Every session of dialysis is a trial. Family relationships have deteriorated. I’m perpetually tired. My kidneys perpetually hurt. I want my life back.

Today was another spoonful of sprinkles on the crap sundae. New dialysis tech, nice woman, condescending as fuck. It’s very common, sadly. We’re treated as if we lost any semblance of mental acuity when our kidneys croaked. Oooh, lookie! You have a brand new chair! I’m not 5, heifer. This chair was designed by Satan. With my particular type of kidney disease, I carry over 30 pounds of useless kidneys. When I lean back, they lay on my back. Painfully. Suffice it to say, I don’t lay on my back. Ever. I had no choice with this stupid chair, as even in the upright position, it tilted back. Heifer tech kept trying to push it back even further. When I explained the situation, she told me I must be mistaken, as she never heard of anything like that. Right, bitch, I know nothing.

I don’t think they have to go too far. He’s always making some kind of childish face.
