Y'know what pisses me off? 4 y/o vent threads. New vent thread!

Yeah I have one but it was super cheap and way too thin. I grabbed it while I was waiting for a different one to arrive which is currently mia and then life happened and I never got around to picking up something else. Sigh. I've ordered a better quality gel case and two tempered glass screen protectors from amazon, one for until I can get this one fixed and one for after.  I've learned my lesson

My piss off for the week is my stupid-ass car.  Last week I tried to start it one morning, and it wouldn't even attempt to turn over.  Dead battery.  The damn thing apparently has some electronic component in the parking brake too, because I couldn't even get it out of Park to back out of my garage for a boost.  So, replace the battery, it all runs good now.

Then, last weekend as I'm running back and forth unloading groceries, I notice my daytime running headlights are still on, even though the car is off and in park.  No matter what I do, they won't turn off.  Now I know why I had a dead battery.  Some light googling shows this is a common problem on 2006 and 2007 Sonatas, as the light's relay ends up getting borked and won't shut off with the rest of the car.  The relay is buried in the fuse box, and the only way to fix it is to apparently replace the entire fuse box (which is about $300 and a huge pain in the ass).  So, until I can get this fixed, I just have to keep a 10mm wrench in my car.  If after I turn the car off the lights are still on, I pop the hood and unhook the battery.

Plus the car also needs new tires, new brakes, and possibly a new ball joint, maybe some shocks.  Look at all that money I don't have...

God I fucking hate the dentist. I need a root canal. I knew it was going to happen but I agreed to let my dentist try to replace the filling first which resulted in constant tooth pain ever since.  Finally got in to the specialist on Thursday and turns out not being able to fully numb a tooth is a thing. It took an hour and a half of drilling for a few seconds and injecting more stuff over and over for her to finally get a teeny hole nto my tooth to stuff the stuff in that kills the root. She seems to think this will help it be less semsitive when I go back for attempt #2. Fuck. Oh and now it hurts way more but she did give me some prescription strength painkillers (but not the good stuff because baby) and steroids. Oh and by the time we are all finished I will be out almost $2000 because our dental coverage is pretty shitty. Boo

Millenials.

I feel like I missed out on having a catchy label for my generation. Born in between pretentious groups or something

yeah, i'm either gen x or gen y, so there's a good chance i'm a millennial... but i don't feel it.

i sometimes totally feel out of it when interacting with the younger portion of that demographic.

Election day. So depressing. Feels like my vote never counts. Blah blah blah

So I figured, what better way to make my first post than in the rant thread?

Problem with today: Being so tired you forget to set your alarm, and actually sleep past 5:30 which you never do. Which throws off your whole day because your schedule was totally ruined. Feel like I'm playing catch up still.

My aunt killed herself a few days ago. I knew she was struggling and honestly was worried this would happen but then thought I was just being dramatic. Had to go to her place and clean out the fridge today and eventually will need to pack everything up. Feels totally overwhelming to have to do all this when you suddenly lose someone close to you. Oh and I got a fucking parking ticket while.i was there today, fucking great

[TPD]

i'm going through some dark  family stuff myself right now. fuck this summer.

[luna]

Ugh I'm sorry :/ definitely done with this summer

[ObsidianRae]

Luna, TPD, sorry that you're having such a rough time. This year needs to be over with, I think.

[Dust]

I'm very sorry that both of you are going through hell, Luna and Ted.  Stay strong, okay?
