Three Days into A Sucky Month

Only three days into November, and already it’s sucked.
–Hallboy’s bike got stolen from the back yard (it was on the porch!) on Monday.
–I have a huge zit on my left temple. I haven’t had an outbreak of zits since I was about…um…well…It’s been so long, I can’t remember.
–I finally decided to end a relationship with a very close friend. He wanted something very different from the relationship than I wanted and it was become a power struggle between the two of us.
–And now it appears as if Bush might have won another round in the White House.
So, tell me something good that’s happened (or not) to you thus far into November.

My November has sucked pretty hard thus far as well, so no good to add. But I can commiserate.

My husband was diagnosed on Monday with an upper respiratory infection that’s well on its way to being bronchitis. He is a VERY grouchy sick person.

Work has just sucked and blown and done every other unnatural thing it could for the past three days. I had the b*tch from hell call yesterday and make my life miserable. It was the beginning of the month, so there were reports and mass mailings to go out. The petty despot who is admin asst to the director of the center engaged me and my sister in a power play for the much-needed services of the work study student. When we finally did get said work study student over to our office to participate on the mass mailing, we learned that she works slower than molasses at the north pole in January.

My anticipated job offer from CPS didn’t happen on November 1st, which means that the earliest I’ll hear from them now is Nov. 15th.

Today my key chain broke and I lost two keys and my “f” initial from my keychain either at Target, Burger Box, or in the parking lot at Target, Burger Box, or my office. Now I have a lonely little “q” initial. I have to go buy another f so I can console myself with the fact that I’m telling the petty office despot “f q” whenever she borrows my keys to open the door to the copy room.

I’ve also been a really grouchy b*tch myself.

And I can’t buy a pair of knee boots from Payless because I have fat calves. And knee boots for people with fat calves cost a lot more than I can afford to pay.

Okay, enough grouching. On the positive side, hello, cheap Halloween candy (although, hello more bulges) and I do like cold weather.

—My husband’s car was side swiped and it will cost $3,300 to fix it
—Our 8 year old house cat has ran off and we can find her.
—The service guy that was suppose to replace my gas meter showed up early, while we were not home, and now I have to reschedule for Friday and try to smooth things over with my boss on why I have to take the day off.
I feel your pain. Hope things turn around for you and I both.

AAAhgh, I have one of those too! And mine was on a nerve, so I had this headache for 3 days!!! Man that sucked. It finally popped and stopped hurting.
:smack:

My sister, N.Sane was feeling guilty because you asked for happy things and instead she complained. She just called me to ask to pretty please come on this thread and tell you that she found her keys and life is good in spite of crap.

My kid got a raunchy diagnosis from a know-nothing psych person, but now we’re freaked out.

My best friend’s son had a terrible World Series (but will get a Gold Glove this week), and her husband moved out.

My other best friend is in a deep depression.

My brother is heading to Iraq.
