Things that piss you off?

[Eilan]

but that's easy for me to say from my vantage point

It's easier for me to see that now than it would have been 5 1/2 years ago.

 

[silverwhisper]

eilan, i don't really know quite what to say. i think that it's pretty clear however that the date was already pretty darned significant and perhaps part of your sadness is that your idiot ex chose that date on which to drop this bomb on you.

If only I didn't have the annoying habit of remembering stupid shit like dates, license plate numbers, etc, I could be blissfully ignorant.

WPMO is that I'm sad and I shouldn't be.

I always feel down on September 18th.

On September 18th, 1990, my dad left my mom. While that should have been a positive event in light of their relationship, it led to a year of complete fucking chaos.

On September 18th, 2000, after about 10 days of the silent treatment, my ex came home from work and told me the following:
--he didn't love me anymore and wasn't sure that he ever did
--he felt that I got pregnant with our second child to trap him
--he faked being happy when this child was born
--he couldn't stand being around me because he'd never agreed with my views on [insert issues here]
--he'd found someone else

These revelations were obviously devastating at the time, but in some ways, what happened six years ago was the best thing that ever happened to me. So, why, even though I'm very happy with the way things have turned out, does this date make me feel so damn sad?

I'm not looking forward to September 18th, 2010.

The things that happened on this date were devastating at the time. Of course you'd remember the pain and turmoil. Here's hoping you and your sweetie can make new happier memories. {{{Eilan}}}

September 18 is not a good day for me either. I lost my closest friend on September 18, 1988.

Hubby came home upset after his powermongering, delusional, asshole of a sales rep/coworker screamed at him and threatened his job on the way home for a couple of relatively minor mistakes he made months ago.

How dare this fucker, who makes plenty of HUGE mistakes himself, is such a poor communicator that anyone who can refuses to work with him, and has NO authority over anyone in the company, call Hubby stupid and demand perfection when he couldn't even do this job competently last year?

He has the audacity to insist everyone works as a team, telling him when there's a problem so it can be addressed immediately; yet when he they do it, he goes on a tirade and tells them he's documenting all problems so they can be fired?

I'm so pissed right now, but I'm going to laugh and celebrate when he gets fired for being unable to communicate and work with even the most easygoing, competent people in the industry. Or, maybe Mr. Machismo will quit this job when the female owner tells him he has no power/authority over his coworkers and is threatening his job by treating them poorly. It's a close-knit industry, and he's going to have a hell of a time finding a job when other companies learn he can't work with anyone. He might be good at sales, but what good is that if no one will help him get the product to the customer?

Karma's a bitch, W. Have fun learning that lesson, you self-serving, incompetent jackass. My husband's better at his job than you could ever hope to be at yours. Oh, and he gets as much kinky sex as he wants -- consider your frigid, shitty relationship as part of your punishment for being such an asshole. You're a complete loser.

Erika, I'm worried about you.



I'm concerned that you need to stop repressing your anger so much; soon you may explode with all the emotions that you've kept bottled up like so much fine port.

Mmmm...port. *drools* [/Homer Simpson]

There's a chill in the air, meaning it's about that time for the warming, deliciousness that is port, isn't it, Yank?

In all seriousness, I do have a problem with bottling up some emotions, and I'm proud of myself for letting it out here just now. I don't usually get terribly angry, but nothing pisses me off like someone hurting and really stressing out the love of my life.

 

[Sarojaede]

Sometimes, letting all that out just feels so right.

I've got no port on hand, SweetErika, but here...

[hands Erika the key to the liquor cabinet]

There might be something in there you like.

My teaching schedule for the spring. It sucks....badly.

Basically it's 2 p.m. - 8:40 p.m. MW and a weird hour in the middle of the day for one class on Fridays. I'll get home around 9:30 on MW, if I am lucky. One class is a DL class. So, I have 3 face-to-face classes and one DL class, but a DL class is always twice as much work.

And I'm teaching 4 different classes, which means 4 preps, which fucking sucks.

 

[silverwhisper]

can the DL class be done from home, at least? and what kind of hours do you keep for campus-bound students?

ed

 

[Sarojaede]

Yes, the DL class can be done from home--and will be done from home since my personal computer is better than the one the university provides. [grumbles]

I am required by contract to hold at total of 6 - 8 hours of office hours a week. So, I have to squeeze in an additional minimum 6 hours of on campus presence not during my teaching time.
