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

Getting yelled at within 5 minutes of getting to work is a fucking great way to ruin my day

This causes me more anxiety than anything else, as a new parent - how can I let her be who she'll be without the rest of the world doing anything necessary to put her in the box?

Always love and support her, and let her know that she is a person rather than a defined stereotype. It really does work.

My bitch, and the reason I've been awol for a month, is this gods-forsaken place we've moved to. How the bloody hell do you people live on the east coast? I can't believe how ungodly expensive everything is out here. $550 a MONTH for oil/electric?! I've never paid more than $80 in my entire life to heat/cool a house. And don't even get me started on the price of food. Soon as the school year is over, I want to go home where power and food is reasonably priced...

I agree with Dee except I'd add that it's important to make sure she knows that the world does these things.  Because sometimes all it takes is a day at school to undo all that hard work, but then again that's part of the development process.

[rokken like dokken]

School is a pernicious thing - if Becky agreed to it I might just homeschool her, but I think that's a non-starter.

The east coast definitely costs more but cost of living is up everywhere.  I had record-breaking utility bills during the summer months (and iot was a relatively cool summer here) and food prices have increased dramatically over the past several years.  I am preparing myself for $5/gal gas this summer.  8|

Overly-entitled fanboys whining about how my friend (okay, maybe that's presumption on my part but oh well) should have spent hours of his life - that perhaps he did not have due to a crushing work schedule and a year-long major family tragedy to deal with - writing an essay for The Wall Immersion set - the omission of which they believe is "criminal" and inexcusable" -  can, frankly, suck my non-existant cock.

Must stop obsessing about certain things...too much time on my hands today

Gee, thanks r00 
Seriously tho, it's ridiculous. Prices haven't gotten too out of hand back home, but here? Holy shitballs! I was expecting more, but this is just... I know, I know. Get over it, right? lol I'm old and set in my ways *giggle*

[Aaron]

I feel like ass. I went to bed feeling horrible last night. Woke up feeling the same. I took a two hour nap this afternoon and I feel like shit... Gah. About to drink a huge mug of hot tea or two and go to bed...

1 gallon = 3.785 litres. Petrol  here is at $1.53 per litre. 1 gallon = A$6 (approx) = US$6.38 at today's conversion rate. Dunno what you are complaining about mate 

[r00]

You can thank your bureaucrats for taxing it over three times as much as ours.  Rest assured, I bet all that extra money is going to save the polar bears.  ;-p

[luna]

why is life so frustratingly random?

[threatsicle]

had to do a routine screening to get on this medication that required a skin test be performed.

turned out, i tested positive for TB.

it's really kind of fucked with me now. going to get chest xrays done next week. it's probably most likely latent, as i'm not coughing up phlegm/blood, etc.

but still... pretty freaked out about it.

[luna]

That's scary

Hope everything turns out ok

[Aaron]

Christ threat, hope it turns out ok.
