How the hell does this glass manage to be half full AND half empty?

The BBQ Pit
1

So I had a gorgeous wedding. Currently debt-free in terms of credit cards, almost got the ext. warranty on the car paid off. My job’s slacked off a bit, my pay’s gone up to the new pay band. It’s a beautiful summer.

So why am I SO FUCKING STRESSED?

My immigration papers are STILL processing, even though the wedding date has come and gone. One of my cats is a couple of weeks from euthanasia. My ‘husband’ is just about too busy with work to speak to me, or alternately too sick to. I can’t be there to get the cats I’m taking on in the US settled in, in lieu of a miracle. My mother is miserable in her newly widowed state. My relatives are too fucking nosy. My husband STILL hasn’t given me the fucking tracking number for the papers. I want to get laid. I want to get fat. I don’t want to do this fucking boring job anymore. I want to do unix administration again. I’m constantly getting headaches, I’m constantly cranky and snapping at my coworkers. I don’t feel like working out. I don’t want to do ANYTHING.

I feel like laying out in the sun and letting the maggots pick at my rotting corpse.

:mad: fucking life. What a pain in the ass.

Wow, I guess the honeymoon’s over, huh?

One question: “I want to get fat” REALLY???

'Cause I’m pissed as hell that it’s so easy for me to get that way. Want to trade fat outlooks??

I’d have to agree on the getting laid bit. Who couldn’t use a little more action?

Tie a knot and hang on, I guess. With any luck, things will get better.

One question for you about the immigration processing: Don’t you have to start something new with that now that you’re married?

Monty: we’re ‘married’ not married. No legal documents signed or legally binding vows were spoken - just for the reason you mentioned. The INS TSC told us we should be fine as long as we did things as prescribed above. Of course, they might have lied to us, in which case we have more red taped hell to go through.

scout1222: I’d love to share my breakneck metabolism with you - maybe I wouldn’t be starved all the time that way :wink: I’m just so freaking skinny it’s depressing sometimes to look in the mirror. Sigh. Yes, I know (from the relations of others) the other end of the scale can be far worse, and I don’t usually feel like this about me, but I am feeling cranky and disgruntled in general today. :mad:

Bah. I wasn’t trying to give you “perspective” - just trying to make sure I understood right. Honestly, being unhappy with ANYTHING about yourself is a pain in the ass!

As to the INS stuff, if it’s anything like dealing with the DMV or assorted health insurance issues, I’m gagging just thinking about it.
