Re: THE RANT THREAD!

In the bigger of the two camps this rotation. My shitty "Oh look at us, we get our own rooms with TV's in it" room isn't big enough for me to do yoga in. My arms touch the bed and the wall, before they are spread out.

I miss my tent camp.

How is it going otherwise?

Sitting on pf and facebook... Ah, procrastination thou art a heartless mistress! x

Re: THE RANT THREAD!

A couple of nights ago, I had a nightmare that I missed a deadline weeks ago and forgot about it until now. Now, the actual deadline is approaching. I'm almost done, but I'm not really happy with how it's going. It's a deadline for a first draft, but still....

Highly uncomfortable, I imagine.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!

I am so uncomfortable when people I don't know come talk to me to and try to make me join activity and want to shake my hand. It is very uncomfortable to be conversed with so familiarly

Re: THE RANT THREAD!

I had to tell off the DHL guy today, and I feel bad. When you're not home, the courier or postman either leaves your package with a neighbour, with a nearby local business, or takes it back to the post office. They do it in that order too....first they check the neighbours, and if no one is home, they ask the businesses, and if they don't have space for it, they take it to the post office. At some point, they've ALL figured out that I'm home in the day, which means that I get my doorbell rung several times a day. Now, there are four types of people who are home in their PJs at 11 am in the morning: the unemployed, stay-at-home parents, retirees, and the self-employed. I am the latter. I am not here loading the dishwasher or watching tv. I am WORKING. I have freedom to get up and move around during my work, but that doesn't mean that I like to be interrupted while I'm in the middle of writing down a thought (I might lose it!) I LIKE working from home BECAUSE I have fewer interruptions. It's a huge reason why I'm strongly considering freelancing for the rest of my career and accepting the insecurity and high social security costs that go with it.

Now, I don't mind taking a neighbour's package if I'm receiving one for myself or my boyfriend. When we order stuff, I generally anticipate the interruption, because I asked for it. But today, that didn't happen. The DHL guy rang my bell and asked me to take packages for TWO different neighbours, which not only interrupts me now, it interrupts me TWICE when they come to pick it up. I just flat-out told him that I don't really think that's cool. I explained that I work from home, and that I'm happy to take on packages when I have something coming, but I hate getting my bell run and my work interrupted all the time for other people. If it was just once a week, it would be fine, but it's all the effing time. Also, the trash collectors, people who drop off flyers, people who check on things in the building ALL seem to know I'm at home.

I think I'm going to ask my boyfriend to notify me each and every time he is expecting a package (he orders stuff off the internet a lot) and just not answer the door unless we're personally expecting things. This building has a few stay-at-home parents and some retirees.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!

Late night TV commercials(This it seems is when the snake oil comes out). Some of these things are so much BS that I just want to scream,do you think people are that stupid? I know they pay to put that stuff on,but some of them are border line con jobs. I wonder sometimes if the TV people have any Moral qualms(I would imagine they should screen them before allowing them on). So I rant about their absolute BS claims of curing all sorts of pain,or the instant weight loss claims that are pure flimflam.

You are a lot nicer than me. I'd refuse holding anyone's packages (unless they are a good friend) and would totally get ticked off if I found out that the delivery company was giving my package to other people.
I just don't trust people that much.

"But wait! The first 100 people to call will get not one, but TWO for the same price! CALL NOW to avoid disappointment and future regret!" LMAO!!!!
The commercials on TVG (the horseracing network) kill me - it's all Joe Theismann and his miracle prostate cure, or some basketball guy whose name escapes me pitching a testosterone supplement.

Re: THE RANT THREAD!

That sucks so much. Do you have any empty bottles handy?

((hugs))

Actually? I still have a plastic urinal from my wheelchair days.

I didn't use it, though. Brian helped me get to the bathroom and then waited to help get me back to bed. Which is way awkward, in itself, too. But at least I don't need help dropping my drawers or lifting my willy to aim.

But I'm too young for this nonsense! I'm 47, not 97!





I tell ya all, this big ol' get together, next year, is going to be really, really, interesting.
