Are you pissed off? I'm pissed off. Vent Thread.

Somehow the end piece fell off one of our downspouts, and now we might have mold in our basement because it can't seem to stop raining or snowing in Calgary.

Dude that is a serious party foul. If she doesn't at least offer to cover the bank fee she needs to be 86'd.

This.

Everywhere I turn, he's there. I hate that we have similiar circles -- and that this town is so small and incestuous.

I hate that our professional lives are almost crossing too.

I hate that he's hanging out with (visual) artists that I deem to be "competition" -- because they have success with barely any talent! But they're out there.

And I HATE that he hangs out with famous motherfuckers and I get to read about it through TWEETS from OTHER PEOPLE -- shit that he never tolerated from me! He allows them to talk all they want about him online, yet I get slapped on the wrist constantly about it. Fucking namedropping whores.

Yes, I'm bitter... when I shouldn't be or even be allowed to be. Because I was the one who walked away, not him. UGH.

That is a pain. I feel you. My bf and I split back in May and I realized that I hardly have any close friends that are not close friends with him. Additionally, he was with a new chick immediately after our break-up, so that was the kind of stuff I catch wind of online. How long were you two together?

Luna, I obviously don't know your friend or anything your relationship with them, but from this distance it seems like she is trying to avoid you and just made the "stolen phone" story up.

[Nadia]

You think so r00? I guess it depends on what kinds of people you hang around. A lot of my friends are scatter-brained and inattentive (I certainly am) and so if I did a favour for one of my friends, I would not be surprised by that series of events. I would expect an apology and compensation for the bank fee, but it's not such a far-fetched scenario.

[r00]

If it wasn't they type of person that would bounce a personal check to a friend, I wouldn't make the assumption that I did.  ;-p

[Nadia]

I suppose.

Speaking of being scatterbrained:
I have the worst time keeping up with  important stuff. Many people in my family can't keep track of their documents, so my grandpa lets us keep it at his house. I left my Passport, Birth Certificate and Social Security Card in his care for safe keeping. On the way to camp I went to grab my S.S. Card because my director needed me to bring it down to copy. I saw my Birth Certificate and Passport then. Well, somehow between camp and now my Birth Certificate has disappeared because I went back to my grandpa's to get it because I need a copy of it for my new job. Additionally, I have been asked to bring my S.S. Card to my job interview for tonight and apparently I have misplaced that since camp too. I know exactly where I put it and it's not there or anywhere nearby. I have no idea how I have managed this. Now I have to pay twenty-five dollars for a new copy of my Birth Certificate and wait for a new S.S. Card to come in the mail.

It's all being sorted out today, she is in the process of getting a student loan/registering for school and something happened along the way...anyway it's all ok now

And if you knew this person like I do you would not be surprised at all about the missing phone

good to hear it is all worked out.  8)

Nearly a year.

Today's just been a horrid day in general now though. Had to cancel shoot last minute and have to deal with disgruntled crew because of issues with the people who hired us. Really frustrating. On top of that, a lot of other issues concerning my "branding" and being owed money by magazines, etc. Really stressed.

[videodrone]

you will so be my hero if you do this.

When it happens, I'll get photographic evidence. So far I haven't seen any more unidentified landmines in the yard. But the week ain't over yet.

I have major anxiety when it comes to math tests, I really get fearful, and it defined my mood depending on my grade for the next few days. I did pass the test, but the stress I get really bothers me.

So we have 3 new people on our team that started here about a month or so ago.  Two of the 3 will work out, but the 3rd guy is another dim case with no sense of personal space and basic social skills. (and when I say dim, I mean he won't use basic skills to figure even the most simple concepts out for himself and yet he is supposed to be a senior level guy.)  He reminds me a lot of the last guy that didn't work out.  I am pretty sure his time here will be short, especially when I hear about things like a female employee coming to our manager about him not leaving her alone and lurking around her cube.  bad mojo.

Finding a shrink is hard.  Seeing one is expensive.  My insurance goes away at the end of this year.  These are all things I suspect I may need to suck up and deal with in the very near future.  My biggest concern is the impact of the last on the first two.  Well, that, and my ability to function should I continue to say, "fuck it I dun wanna."

Peeved at my (scented) boss who misspelled the name of a fragrance I came up with despite me sending her more than one email with the proper (for the name) spelling.  Can't do anything about it and I'm not going to hold a grudge, but I am  right now.  Especially since I was going to give a bottle of it to someone who would be (rightly) annoyed that the name is misspelled.

I think this round of Mercury Retrograde came early.
