What pissed you off today?

[midwestyankee]

I wanted to link the CNN report but couldn't find it.

Basically, the deal is that not only can Joe Schmo Reporter not dig deeper than six inches, neither can the people in charge of cleaning up the oil and tar balls. Now, that mess goes down much farther than six inches and the problem is that with very low/high tides, the oil becomes exposed, melts in the heat and washes back out into the water. Here they have an opportunity to clean the stuff up and their hands are tied by legal hoo ha.

The park people are doing their job as they've been instructed I'm sure. It's the guys at the top who are asleep at the helm. It's not about building sandcastles, it's about protecting a fragile ecosystem from further damage.


Yes, I'm a bit riled by it all. Sorry.

Agreed. It seems as if there's something political going on that is getting in the way of a proper cleanup operation and that sucketh big time.

Traveller's diarrhoea for 10 days. Thirsty and hungry and I can't keep food in. Come on, test results. L really deserves some attention, poor girl! Also that im dizzy and grumpy and can't get things done.

My car. I love my car. I love it love it love it. It's an ancient (to me) Volvo that all my brothers drove before me. I thought the tranny was misbehaving, (which is scary because at this point, a new tranny is more than the car is worth!) but after talking to my dad, he said it was probably the gear linkage being stupid. So I took it to a (HOT) mechanic who adjusted it for me and then asked me out. Since she was really really nice and didn't charge me an arm and a leg (dad was able to give me a guestimate on the cost) I said yes.

This actually might qualify for the "what made you smile today?" thread as well.

The nurse who did my blood work this morning.

I know my veins are difficult. That's why I always tell the person taking blood from me which one of my veins is the only good one. Didn't appreciate it that you blew it and were the only person to not be able to get blood out of that vein. Really didn't appreciate it that you had to use another vein and it hurt like hell.

If you're going to be a nurse in a lab where your only job is to take blood from people, how about you learn how to do it.

Sometimes communication within a relationship is a 3-ring circus. You're looking over HERE, in Ring One, at those elephants and wondering how they're gonna scrape that PETA protester off the bottom of the elephant's foot, when if you'd been looking over THERE, in Ring fucking THREE, you'd have seen that the clowns were what was really crucial, and now you'd better just go get popcorn and a glowstick, because your circus-bearings are fucked.

Damn it. I forgot to make my NCAA picks this week.

So true.

I love this post!

Not mad so much as frustrated and saddened.

Seeing my manager today for the first time since she was diagnosed with Type II diabetes, a bacterial infection of her digestive tract [with possible peptic ulcers] - on top of the PCOS, high blood pressure, etc she was diagnosed with several months ago - and listening to her fret and worry about how she's always been afraid of becoming dependent on taking pills every day (current meds now = 10 pills per day).

So I'm giving her the pep talk about how the vast majority of her health issues are reversible by learning a few new healthier habits (diet/exercise), and we can totally kick this stuff! She's way too young (mid-30s) to spend the rest of her life taking pills, and doesn't WANT to spend the rest of her life taking pills, so some hard work, a good support system, we make a few changes and things will get better. Think of it as kind of a wake up call or something!

... only to see the Chick-Fil-A bag on the desk with sweet honey chicken breakfast biscuits inside. [her breakfast]

sigh.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

... only to see the Chick-Fil-A bag ....

Mmmm... Chick-Fil-A... How I wish the closest one weren't 289.64 miles away, in another freakin' state.



And no, I'm NOT kidding

Sorta sorry for the hijack, though.

You know, I think you may have missed the point here, SW. But given the fact that Chick-Fil-A is breaded orgasm, I do understand.

 

[FurryFury]

OMG! How did you KNOW I LOVE cotton candy!

My fucking incisions giving me grief and pain. And the one decided bleeding is better than leaking. Wonderful.

And on top of it all I used the wrong Bandaids so I have contact dermatitis in Band aid shapes around two of them. GRRRR!

I was supposed to have had a date last night. This for the third week in a row where plans had been made and then suddenly cancelled at the last minute. This "gentleman" lives well over an hour away. We had planned a few times to meet in an area that is halfway between our domiciles. Ok.. he said he was called in to work.. Having worked on-call for the hospital, hey I know how it is. I can be forgiving. Now suddenly, oh well, he can't travel that far because, well, he didn't want to tell me at first but he doesn't have a drivers license because of a DWI. However, he would love for me to "come to his house and watch movies and spend a day together..." Yeah right, buddy.. I'm not driving an hour for a vanilla date with someone who lies by omission.

Some motherfucker broke in our barn and drowned 4 helpless little kittens and left them there for the poor boy who feeds our horses to find. I can't even put into words how angry I am. Who the FUCK does that?
