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

I had a minor wrist op last week to get a ganglion cyst removed.

Been in a plaster splint since and so fucking sick of it.

of course it was my right wrist too.

Good lord I hate it when the power goes out, although I'm impressed with MidAmerican's speediness in finding and fixing the problem; within 10-15 minutes of the outage I saw dudes in hardhats poking around my neighborhood, trying to figure out where the break was.  I just really don't like being reminded how fragile my standard of living is.  I'm lost without power.

Last night I dreamt that my car got stolen and then my apartment building got set on fire. It was so real that I actually woke up and scrambled to find the dog so we could escape. Once I realized there was no fire, I checked to make sure my car was still in the driveway. Fucking stress!

Those dreams can fuck you right up - several years ago I had these unbelievable dreams where I was giving a whole bunch of people rage beatings.   

[TPD]

hahaha. i once had a dream like that.
i dreamt dust and i were going to jail for  the accidental murder of a small child and when i awoke i was struck with such grief i immediately went back to sleep feeling everything was hopeless... then i re-awoke later on to realize it was just a fucked up dream.

had another dream this morning that was like that, too. it was one of those 10 hour-long dreams that was just an hour of real-time. it involved me not talking to my parents for a long time and being totally estranged (which couldn't be further from the truth). when i awoke i immediately called them because I needed to hear their voices.

dreams can be nutty.

I hate how I always look like a giant dork in photos...or maybe it's just all the time

[r00]

I have the same issue with photos.  8(

[luna]

B says I make a weird face everytime I know I'm getting a picture taken...

[chimera]

Cameras are unkind to me, I'm still not sure what I did to piss them off.
Have a couple photos from The Weekend in which The Boffin and I both appear and I'm thankful I'm not prominent in them.

[individualzero]

I don't turn up too well in cameras either. I think it's just the nature of the beast; no one really looks naturally astonishing in photographs without the photo being touched up, but it doesn't mean they're not astonishing in reality, you know?





vent: Ow... My lungs and kidney have been giving me awful trouble and pains for the past few months. My doctor thinks the pain is linked to a neurological disorder, so she has me going in for a second checkup on the 5th next month.

She asked that I get a second opinion because the neurologist I went to before was a little mediocre. I was a little confused when she said that I might have lupus (it's not lupus -- it's never lupus!), especially since my mother has it and I didn't think it was hereditary.

I'm getting kind of tired of running from doctor to doctor, though. I'm just glad it hasn't gotten so bad that I've had to stay in the hospital.

Damn, hope it all turns out for the best.



GRRRR...

You know what's awesome? Coming home from a 2 week vacation with 2 suitcases full of dirty clothes to a broken washing machine that went out of warranty exactly 2 weeks ago

[r00]

that sucks!   Try calling the manufacturer (if that is who the warranty is through).  We did that with a fridge that crapped out a few months after the warranty and they ended up extending it for us and covering all the repair charges, which would have cost us as much as a new fridge.

[luna]

I talked to the company that the warranty is through, they said a manager will get back to me within 2 days...in the meantime I'm off to the laundromat

[individualzero]

Good luck, Luna. Sometimes I swear shit like that is made to break after the warranty.




rant: ow. I was putting dishes away and a Coke glass fell off the counter. SMASH. I had to extract a glass shard from my heel, but thankfully it missed my achilles tendon.
