What pissed you off today? Mark II

Turns out those three trial shifts I did, didn't result in me landing a job. At least have the guts to look me in the eye and tell me that you fucking gutless wonder.
 
Do you ever feel that everything has lost it's magic? Like everything that sparkled and shined is revealed to just be dull, fakery? Maybe I'm just jaded and have lost my ability to be excited by anything. Or maybe the scale has actually tipped and the darkness does outweigh the light. Or maybe I'm just fucking depressed. Either way...it would be interesting to ponder if it didn't reek of late-blooming teen angst.

What to do once you've peeked behind the curtain and have seen that it's just another old man pulling levers and pushing buttons? That the wizard has no magic? In fact, there is no such thing as a wizard at all...
 
Daddy was supposed to stop by for a bit on his way home from work this afternoon, but he had something come up and can't. It's beyond his control, so I'm not mad at him, just kind of at the universe in general. :mad:
 
The idea that advertising shoves down our throats that every mom deserves something on Mother's Day. No they don't. Not every birth giver is a mother and not every mother was a good or even kinda decent ones, some suck. And it's a grinding reminder that some maternal units will never change, they'll never be the mom one felt safe with. And I hate being reminded of that. Hate having it shoved down my throat.

:rose: The further away I am from my mother the better. From afar she is more of an acquaintance to me which suits me. I used to be encouraged by the people around me to call her or visit her because, "no matter what, she's your mother." I prefer the distance for a reason. I feel that pressure and as a sign of good faith with my family send cards and sometimes small gifts, but that is a happy trade off from having to see them in person and something done equally for each member.
 
Rosalie the pony has sweetitch; an allergy to a certain bug which makes her itchy and rub herself til she is sore. It's much less bad than when she got here and we had hoped with good nutrition and care it might be considerably less significant, but today I found her mane, which had grown down toward her shoulders, was rubbed sore :(. Poor little girl. Her pretty hair is a loss. But way more her discomfort. We have bathed her again and used a different repellent combination but it's a condition I have never dealt with and I feel like the trial and error of getting it right for her involves letting her down a little :(.


She also destroyed her protective rug which doesn't help be help her!

Oh no! I am sure you are doing everything to ease her situation. :heart:

Yup. I have so many friends in your situation.

Today somebody told me "wish your mother a happy MD on my behalf" and I'm trying to find a polite way of saying "she's dead".

Yes to this.

Plus, the ads are typically for expensive stuff. Not only do the ads suck for many of us in general, they are shaming to those who can't afford jewelry or the like.

"I'll be sure to tell her corpse, thank you," sounds polite enough. Explanatory and thankful. Also makes people wonder if you have her corpse in your house, which could be fun depending on your personality if you like to mess with nosy peoples.


And while I treasure what my kids made me, I didn't even get a card from my hubby. Or the single thing I told him I wanted, linked on FB (which he follows) and everything. I got food, but had to tone it down to him running out to Subway as its rough taking two kids under 5 out on a major holiday. And then, again not listening, overdrafted our account when I fucking told him to wait until today because some things take time to hit. And my mother in law is obsessively in love with that damn "Cherry Blossom" scent that doesn't smell like real cherry trees (I've lived in Japan, I know that delicate scent) but sure as shit makes me faint dead away. And even though I'm still in pain, she's the wounded party cause I told her to stay away after I fainted because she reeked of the shit and I was trying not to pass out, breath, and lowcrawl to my room to escape.

Fuck this week and its just started.
 
One of those days... 3 relatives in hospital for 3 different things.. a gift I ordered for my wife as a surprise is supposed to arrive early (today) while she is here so hiding it before she sees it is going to be a challenge...

Maybe this goes in the fuck thread...
 
People who speak for others who are perfectly capable.
Let them dig their own hole, let people react and respond, and stop trying to gentle everyone down.
It's dishonest.

Well, for me the desired out come in discussion , which is best without pandemonium. I also love when people can be them selves respecting others: the shouters the lovers, the jokers and the serious.

Vive toutes les differences, yes? I like stepping out to see things from other vantages and that can sometimes be REALLY hard, and one of the best gifts yoga practise, the spiritual aspect, has given me....because it can be so hard to feel compassion to viewpoints your reaction to is first anger if resentment or fearir challenge to oneself or that kind of negativity ; yet it's by stepping into these places I find I am better able to feel others and, oddly, myself.

Love you too far, I like seeing your view too. I think we all have obscured views in someways.

Love that you can love me even after seeing my hair brushed out 😂


Love you even more after that. :heart:
