Name one bad thing that happened today.

[Umbra]

I'll start. I didn't win the lottery. :cry:

[wordsmith]

Nobody plucked me from obscurity and thrust me into a life of fame and fortune. Damn. There's always tomorrow.

[WeirdBrake]

What a day I had! First, my starship's subspace frequency field got all whacky, so I had to call the engineering chief. Next, the tri-lithium crystal chamber started making funny noises, and there wasn't a station around for light years! Then... just my luck... two Romulan vessels start tailgating me and flipping me off, which I attribute to "warp rage." And wouldn't ya know it? My phaser banks are on empty. So after PLEADING with some joker from the Q Continuum, I finally get my ship fixed and make it back safe to my home dimension. I'll tell ya. And to top it off, the price of anti-protons is now up to 5.8 gold-pressed latinum bars a pack! I doubt if I can even afford these intergalactic trips any longer.

[lilyflower]

I got bitched out by a coworker in a staff meeting and didn't stand up for myself. Then I mentally berated myself for being a wuss all day. I was fifteen minutes late for class tonight because traffic was hell on earth. I was late to work this morning too because I realized partway down the road that I forgot my badge.

Oh, and it's not Friday yet. Do I win? :sad:

[chococat_79]

I am not sure what exactly happened. A friend called me up really early in the morning and I couldn't make any sense of what she was talking about so I ended up getting off the phone nad now she appears upset with me. It was early??!?!?

[jen428]

i woke up late... and i was hungover. there was a line at honey dew, and i got stuck behind this old guy going 25 in a 40... BUT it is friday!!! :lol:

[tina1979]

I just found out that the guy that has been hitting on me has been trying to get my sister to go out to dinner with him AND he holds the house key to the girl he said he has only been on a couple of dates with. :mad: I feel like such an idiot.

[jrwilheim]

Louis B. Mayer didn't discover me while having an ice-cream soda on Sunset...

More seriously, that dumb-ass girl who moved in and moved out of the apartment three days later just called to say she wants to return the keys. I'm worried this may mean she intends to put a stop to the rent check she already paid for September.

[steph78]

Nobody plucked me from obscurity and thrust me into a life of fame and fortune. Damn. There's always tomorrow.

ME, TOO! Same exact thing. :) Seriously, my biggest complaints are the high price of gas and the fact that my car is really dirty and needs to be washed...those aren't even real complaints so I will be quiet now...

WB, don't you carry any photon torpedoes in your vessel? :eek:

[biodork]

I haven't cured cancer yet. :torn:

[shimmer728]

From last night--I was grossly insulted by some middle-aged asshole in the bar I was at, who told me if I don't accomplish something great by the time I'm 30, I'm a big loser. He also noted I seem to have no passion for what I do and come from a really boring family.

I did tell him to fuck off.

[Ciderhillnh]

I have 8 digital cameras that I need to get for my offices (specific ones cant order just anything) and EVERY SINGLE PLACE is out of them, even the company that makes them doesnt have any on the shelf.
Ive been struggling trying to find even ONE camera, but no avail.

I had plans to go to dinner and the movies, but my friend bailed because his brother decided to get married this morning and wants to go out and celebrate tonight and Im not invited.....uhm WHAT? We had plans since the start of this week and your bailing LAST minute?

Im just annoyed today........and it looks like a night at home to do nothing because all my other friends already have plans.
UGH.

[coll214]

Last night went to my father's for dinner to be bitched about my ex, my current haircolor, why all my money isn't going towards my retirement, why am i not saving any money, etc...

Today had to have a meeting w/ the 2 ppl who told me last week how awful i'm supposedly doing and act like i was fine with everything. Not so much if thoughts of fists flying is any indication...

[tartytwenty]

Work happened today.

Phone billing that for some reason takes up 3 hours of my time and fucking errors all over the place..... not my fault, finance's but still MY problem to fix.

Fun shit.

I thought I was supposed to fix computers, wtf am I doing with phone bills every damn month.

END RANT.

[cornflakegirl]

oh, just another wonderful (sarcastic) day in the world of reproductive rights in the conservative state of ohio. not one abortion was done today because of a law that was upheld late yesterday, making it mandatory that all women speak to a doctor 24 hours before the procedure to discuss risks. we currently were able to meet this requirement by playing a recording of a doctor talking about it over the phone 24 hours before the appointment. in addition, parents must consent to minors having an abortion, instead of just being notified. 3rd - for minors who go through the court system to get a bypass so they do not have to inform their parents, they are no longer granted one due to abuse. are no and all of this was effective immediately. i found out all this the moment i walked into work. it was a madhouse today. we had to call every single patient that we have scheduled & notify them. people were pissed. rightly so. at the end of the day, a stay was granted for 2 weeks, but 2 weeks is not good enough.

this is extremely frustrating. once again, another law restricting women's access to abortion. and who does this hurt the most? women from lower the socioeconomic class & women who have to travel from far away. now women must take of not 1, but 2 days of work, in addition to arrange childcare for 2 days. our proces will increase, because we will have to pay doctors more. all of this hurts women. bush & his cronies don't give a shit about women (or black people, as kanye west so eloquently expressed last week).

what i find most frightening is that women are willing to just sit back while all of this is taken away from us. we take for granted that we are able to make this choice & that we have access to birth control. the future is looking grim, especially now that bush is able to nominate not 1, but 2 justices. lucky for me, i have my canadian connection.

[twentity]

My sorority meeting was way too long and took up most of my Saturday. Darn it!

[samender]

It is Monday and I have the whole work week to look forward to.

[tina1979]

It is Monday and I have the whole work week to look forward to.
I agree with that, but to top my monday morning....I burnt my bagel :googly:

[hoodie]

I am starting to realize that my immune system is shot. I'm only two days off antibiotics for strep throat and I woke up this morning coughing like mad...and it's a really busy week, so much for sick days.

[jrwilheim]

The management company of our building called to tell us that the girl who moved in and moved out three days later put a stop to her check, which means we're going to have to figure out how to pay an extra $676 in rent this month.

(((hugs))) that sucks!!! if it were a perfect world she would still be responsible for that money. you guys were depending on her money and now you are stuck.

Thanks.

Luckily, I have about $4,000 in a rainy-day fund, and my roommate, who's a very responsible guy, will pay half of it, but I still have to come up with $338. I can't decide whether to raid the rainy-day fund (I'd call this a rainy day), stop contributing to my IRA for a couple of months, stop payment on one of my student loans (currently in deferment from when I was unemployed earlier this year, so I don't owe anything until November but have been paying on it anyway), or some combination of the above.

I think she did this because we told her pretty explicitly that she couldn't put her mother up in our apartment when she came to visit this month. I spent a month back and forth on the phone with the management company trying to get this girl approved for the lease. Now I wish I'd never laid eyes on her.

Fortunately, we met some very nice and responsible people when we showed the apartment this Sunday and have made an offer to a girl who earns a good salary and can pay, but she needs a couple days to make up her mind.

[mishl982]

My cutie patootie coworker left for his trip and won't be back til Wednesday. :(

Ok, ok it's not a bad thing, but maybe it's bad I'm thinking about my forbidden coworker? ;) :p

[paiger81]

I wanted to call in sick this morning (I am so exhausted and don't know why), but came into work, only to find that my boss took the day off cause he is sick :mad:

[labrat2111]

I'm so tired today my first cup of coffee this morning barely had any effect on my sleep-dazed state.

[paiger81]

At least you had coffee, the office ladies are on a health kick & now only do green tea in the mornings. The ONE damn day I needed coffee!

[coll214]

Well i got up to go to work today, so already the day sucks IMO.

I don't really know if it's considered bad, but my bus. mgr actually asked me to watch her cats for 2 weeks in Oct... apparently though i'm an incompetent ass in my regular work, my pet-sitting skills are wonderful :googly:

[shannon08]

My dad called me EARLY this AM because he found out that he had to leave for New Orleans :sad: (he works for the Post Office and they are trying to get some kind of system set up over there) I'm glad he is helping, but I still worry about him, its dangerous over there!!

[summergold]

I lost a T token (subway). Damn! That little sucker cost me a $1.25. It's the size of a dime and I'm wearing pants that have coin ejecting pockets. Oh well, let's just hope that's the worst thing that happens today. Otherwise it's been a charmed day.

The T still has tokens? They haven't switched to a card-based system?

[summergold]

There are cards, but the orange line still uses the tokens. I had a few extra tokens so I didn't bother to buy my ticket yet. I'll be buying a ticket on the way home :rolleyes:

[spokes]

since today was monday my alram went off at 5.40......funny how i have no trouble getting up to go golfing early in the am, however for work i hit the snooze button........

[lilyflower]

Let's see, had to listen to the Princess Spoiled Temp brag about her vacation and walk around showing everyone her cruise pictures. Yeah, I wish I could take a week off without pay and go on vacation too! (And never mind buy a house in North Jersey on top of it.) Of course, this had to coincide with me realizing that I am flat broke until I get paid Thursday (which isn't a usual state for me, I'm very good with money, but the past few weeks I've had a lot of school related expenses that ate up big chunks of my savings.) Nothing seriously makes you feel better about yourself when you sit and listen to a brat go on about her vacation when you know she's a temp and makes less than you do and is married to a husband who works a part-time job at Wal-Mart. Grrr. :mad: :mad:

[ebruening]

Lilyflower - Um...how on earth is she affording all that with a temp. job, and a husband who works part time in retail?

[shimmer728]

That's what I'm wondering.......:confused:

I got lost on the way to an interview and was 20 minutes late. My photog never showed up to the assignment.

[coll214]

Can I just add I got my summons to appear in court for my speeding ticket in October? yay, that'll be a fun day. And also apparently the crap with the car accident while I was on vacation in April isn't quite as done as I thought since I also got a letter from my insurance company. sigh- and i wonder why i hate getting mail now...

[pisces2473]

There are cards, but the orange line still uses the tokens. I had a few extra tokens so I didn't bother to buy my ticket yet. I'll be buying a ticket on the way home :rolleyes:
Only the blue line uses the cards, for now.

Boston had the first subway system in the nation, that's why they are so reluctant to give up the tokens.

[lilyflower]

Lilyflower - Um...how on earth is she affording all that with a temp. job, and a husband who works part time in retail?

That's what I've been wondering for the past few months. The backstory on this is that she got married at 18 (she's like 23 now) and since she's been married they've been living with her parents while both of them went to school. Apparently her parents decided to move to Florida recently, which made her decide to buy a house. Either her parents are giving her money or she's got maxed out credit cards, that's all I can figure. She and her parents immigrated from Poland when she was a freshman in high school. I wouldn't tend to think someone who immigrated to a new country would have a lot of money but what do I know?

Meanwhile, I'm perm in the same department and I really can't afford a house yet (of course, I also have student loans, the cost of actually you know, SUPPORTING MYSELF, and the like so). I'm hoping that I can buy either a really small house somewhere or a condo sometime in the next five years but with the cost of real estate what it is out here, it'd doubtful. My only consolation is the fact that she has to be alienating a lot of people by going around with her cruise pics since the majority of the younger set (or actually all of the under 30s in the department - rent or live with their parents.) She's one of two temps too, so if only one job comes up (doubtful considering how busy my group is but you know how companies are about paying for perm jobs) that she might not be the one to get it at this rate, but who knows.

[SillyDreamer]

Cried. I hate crying

[tina1979]

I'm starving and I haven't had time to get any breakfast :googly:

Anybody notice how my good/bad things seem to revolve around if I had my bagel yet or not? :redface:

[summergold]

Only the blue line uses the cards, for now.

Boston had the first subway system in the nation, that's why they are so reluctant to give up the tokens.

I should have clarified. I bought one of the all-inclusive cards :p . The whole shebang, so if I lose this card I will freak. That's a lot of money, but I'll still be saving roughly $200 a month by not driving. That figure may increase depending on gas prices. I feel like a good little environmentalist.

[biodork]

I woke up at 3 am this morning, moved my neck an inch and it kinked up and now I can barely move my upper body without immense pain. Following the kink up, I realized that I really DO need to get massage therapy and prob see a back dr which was followed by another realization that I don't have the $ to pay for such things and have to deal with the pain until I make more money. Which probably won't be until at least after I can get a Master's degree. Over 3 years from now.

[week2week]

my fucking tool trailer hasn't shown up yet

FuckingA

:mad:

[mishl982]

A coworker who I barely talk to asked if I was expecting. WTF? I told her no and that I'm nowhere close and she said "Oh well I heard someone mention it..." Nice cover! :googly:

I mean, I know I have a belly, but not that kind of belly! Now some of my coworkers (the ones I'm close with) are calling me mommy. :p I should go into work tomorrow with a pillow stuffed under my shirt!

[AzureMoogle]

Well I spent all day setting up tests and testing my project and IT WAS ALL A FUCKING WASTE now because my team leader senses a flaw in methodology! :mad:

[jrwilheim]

I locked myself out of my apartment while taking the recycling out and had to wait an hour and half for a locksmith to show up to let me in. Damages: $75. This, the same week I got a call from the management people telling me that the girl who move in and out three days later put a stop to her rent check. Total apartment-related damage for the week: $413.

[tina1979]

:cry: :cry: :cry: I have been working for months....MONTHS... to get out some product for my customer. The plant has let it come down to the wire.... We were garaunteed more than once this week that it would ship out, then for various excuses it never did. It HAD to go out yesterday.. HAD TO!!!! The customer's enduser has to be off a job by the end of the day TODAY!!!! Guess what!!! It is still showing in the system as backordered, but guess what else!!! It shows that any available material that we had as of yesterday is in transit to ANOTHER WAREHOUSE!!!!! Now I have to call these ppl back to tell them that they aren't getting thier shit and they will be charged fines per day which they will pass on to us. Then guess who is gonna have to call the people to break it to them!!!! Yeah! Me!!! I feel sick now!!! Not because our plant did what they are so good at doing, but because now I have to call all these people back including my SR that I have assured that the material would be there, and its not. Its a total let down to work my ass off on something and have it fall apart because somebody else didn't do thier job. :cry: :cry: :cry:

[biodork]

I made the bad move of going to look at the 2 bdrm apt of a friend who moved into the same complex as me in May. Yeah, it's so much fucking better than my apartment. She has a TON of space, plus a garage that adds more space, and she's on the second floor so she has a stairway that leads up to the apt so it looks really cool.

Man I wish I had more money. :(

[tartytwenty]

I got to work and remembered that the computer operator took a vacation day.

Thus, I get to do three people's worth of work today...it's been hella busy, but I'm taking a moment for myself... QLC time.

[Winter Storm]

I had yet another disturbing dream last night (I don't know why this keeps happening so much lately) and woke up at 6am and burst into tears, thus getting out of bed snot-nosed and red-eyed. And I'm still trying to shake it off.

What a crappy way to start a Friday.

[coll214]

I woke up late, got to work late, and then open my email to find that my supervisor basically picked through EVERYTHING on my desk and then sent me multiple nasty emails about shit that she wasn't happy with b/c she changed her mind yet again. And then expects me to idly make chitchat w/ her :mad:. tain't happening. And all b/c i was out yesterday.

[Winter Storm]

Apparently a dog or some other large animal was run over by a car and its' mangled parts were all over the street. I was dodging body parts coming down the road.

:(

[wordsmith]

Waking up to the clock reading approximately an hour and a half past when it was supposed to have awakened you. :(

[tina1979]

I'd really rather not. :(

[steph78]

Good thing: my parents are renting a condo at the beach this weekend and invited me to come also.

Bad thing: it is going to rain all weekend up and down the Atlantic Coast. :(

[Winter Storm]

I realized once again that I really need some new friends.

:(

[lilyflower]

I realized once again that I really need some new friends.

:(

The one time I ventured out, it was raining so hard I could barely make it down the street. Ended up cancelling my plans to go out.

[Tiean]

I hope it's okay if more than one bad thing has happened... :(

Bad thing(s):

1. went by the wrong bus... both ways...

2. got locked in the atm room (or whatever it's called) of a bank

3. Got hit in the eye by a squash ball. This now involves:
- going to the hospital like 5 times in the upcoming week
- wearing a HUGE bandage
- eating pills 3 times a day
- keeping BOTH my eyes closed the next couple of days
(- I might go in a coma if the pressure in my eye doesn't drop in the next couple of days :eek: )
and best of all: I must sleep while sitting... yeah!

Good thing:

1. I finally bought a nice digicam at a good price :)

[wordsmith]

Interview I put off arranging until today is thwarted, because I tend to forget that just because I don't get work holidays, other people do. Oops. I'm gonna get chewed. Oh, well.

[coll214]

My knee is still bothering me from 2 weeks ago now...

And now I remember why i don't go to the bar that often anymore... annoying pains in the a$$ who don't seem to understand the concept of 'I have to work tomorrow'.

[Taza Tikha]

Bought a new skirt. Got home and cut the tags off before I realized that the sales tag had been attached to the skirt itself and not the inner tag. Result? Big hole near the waist, which I fear will rip or cause the fabric to unravel. Who attaches these things, anyway? They must have gone to the same training that my old dry cleaners did--these are the people who used large pins to attach a silk dress to the hanger instead of those nifty little loops nice clothes have so you don't, you know, have to punch holes into the silk.

[lilyflower]

My tire was low - I discovered it in Elizabeth, NJ - at night.

Luckily it didn't go completely flat and I didn't get stranded by the airport.

[mishl982]

Ok not bad, but strange: I absolutely have no appetite. I'm sick, but I've never not had an appetite even when sick.

And when I do get hungry I have no food and am too blah to go to the grocery store.

[Winter Storm]

Disappointed again, and a bit hurt, I had to let go of someone I really cared for. I don't know why it takes so long for me to realize that some people, no matter how sweet they seem, really don't give a shit!

[shimmer728]

And now I remember why i don't go to the bar that often anymore... annoying pains in the a$$ who don't seem to understand the concept of 'I have to work tomorrow'.

People suck. :( *hugs*

[biodork]

I just found out that it's supposed to rain over this weekend and now my plans to go to Busch Gardens are ruined :mad: And we've been planning on going since the end of August, when it was thwarted then ALSO due to rain.

:mad: :mad:

I was looking forward to it too. A lot.

[StateNAurora]

I can't get KEXP Seattle to play through I-tunes this morning. GRRRRR.

[Jwaler]

It's cold, rainy and cloudy outside, and I have a window cubicle

[Empressallie]

HOw no one in my friggin office knows how to communicate effectively

[mishl982]

My arms are so sore from carrying like 50 pounds worth of groceries up 3 flights of stairs. Ok, not really 50 lbs, but it was pretty damn heavy!

[lilyflower]

I was going to go try to pick up guys tonight but it's pouring and cold and the last thing I wanted to do was drive in the pouring rain (and BACK).

I also am going through my normal "day with no daylight" inability to function.

[stonemonkey]

Do you work in a windowless lab?

[ebruening]

I got into a HORRIBLE fight with one of my friends :cry: I seriously don't know if the friendship will recover from this...

[lilyflower]

Do you work in a windowless lab?

Most of the time, I do, yes. :(

[paiger81]

This one is a real downer, but I need to write it somewhere:

My best friend, in her second trimester, lost her baby.

My coworker just found out that her 25 year old brother died. He was working on a platform & fell 110 feet.

I'm seriously nauseaus right now.

[meatwad]

That's terrible Paige. I'm sorry.

[Bugsey34]

Holy crap, Paige. That is awful. Sorry to hear this. :(

[lilyflower]

That sucks, Paige. I'm sorry to hear it.

[labrat2111]

I found out the hard way that my car most definitely only has a 12 gallon tank by running out of gas on my drive into work. So I had to walk several miles to Walmart to get a gas can and then back to fill it up and then to my car to get to work. So that ended up consuming 2 hours and I still smell like gas.

[steph78]

Mine pretty much pales in comparison to Paige's news (so sorry to hear that, how sad).

I washed a couple pairs of running shoes last night and put them outside on our balcony to dry, and this morning I grabbed them to bring inside. It was like 6:30 AM and it was also really cold outside, so I grabbed them as quick as I could and shut the door. I was holding four shoes in my hands and all of a sudden noticed this gigantic brown grasshopper (like three or four inches long) sitting right on top of one of them. Normally I'm totally fine with bugs like grasshoppers, but the combination of semi-darkness and me just having gotten out of bed didn't mix well - I just freaked out, yelled, and threw all the shoes across the living room, waking up my husband and I'm sure our downstairs neighbors as well. Oh, and then I couldn't find the grasshopper so I'm sure he'll be hiding somewhere waiting for me when I get home tonight.

[coll214]

OH Paige, that's awful and i'm sorry to hear that.

Kind of pales in comparison to my throbbing headache for the day.

[MetFanL]

That sucks, paige.

[paiger81]

Yeah, I'm a little bit better, I'm gonna go visit my friend in 2 weeks. As for my coworker, I'm still trying to figure where I can send flowers.

[Cole]

I got home from a weekend away to find my roommate had painted our apartment. And that she has no sense of taste. :eek:

[shimmer728]

I'm chiming in on this way late in the game, but I, too, am sorry, Paige. How terrible. :(

[wordsmith]

I've been avoiding this thread, because it's not doing me any good to focus on the bad things that happen to me right now. so I missed all this. I'm sorry, though, Paige.

[taylor]

Steph, good luck with the grasshopper

Paige that is awful news especially to get all at once, so tragic, i feel bad

[biodork]

Today was my grandpa's actual funeral service, at arlington nat'l cemetery. :( It was a nice ceremony, however it felt all very processed. My grandpa was cremated and the urn was placed in this memorial area, in a wall. After it we had like 5 min and then all had to leave because there was another service right after us.

At least I'll get to go back when they actually get my grandpa's plaque all made out and covering over his little slot in the wall. For some reason that takes almost 2 months though. :(

I wish it would have felt more personal. I'm not religious at all, but I also felt like the priest was acting so fake.

Paige and Biodork - I am sorry to hear about those things. My thoughts are with you.

[biodork]

Thank you.

bio- i'm so sorry to hear about your g-pa.

[steamroller]

:( Bio-I'm sorry to hear that.


I had a pretty shitty day over all. Had to train the woman who's taking my job.

I come home, decide to walk down to the little corner store for a six pack, strut my stuff in front of several VERY cute guys, briefly feel confident in my jean skirt...walk home, walk into my apt, go to put on my sweats, and realize that my zipper had been down the entire time I was in the store....and I'm not just talking down....I'm talkin' ALL the way down.

After the horrible day I had, it was actually nice calling my best friend in Philly, just to tell her that stupid story. ;)

My 2 1/2 month old laptop is sick right now. I don't know why but it won't connect to the internet anymore. Also, there is a problem with the disc drive. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! I love spending over a thousand on a product, only for it to stop functioning right away!!

[paiger81]

I'm sick, I wanna go home, but my coworker left to go get her mom a flu shot, so I'm stuck here for the rest of the day.

Other people in the building, but not part of our dept. noticed this & think coworker did it on purpose. :neutral:

[hellboy]

I got nasal congestion, sore throat and mild tempreture running, even after wasting money on eko nachi shia chia (i cannt even spell that damn thing), humidifiers and all sorts of crap. I am so angry.

But i am not going home bcas i get billed hourly. I can afford to go, but i dont want to loose money..
Gosh i am really sick!

[Deadend]

Today I woke up late for work despite having gone to bed as soon as I got home last night at little after 5pm. 15 hours of sleep, it really does feel like I never left here yesterday.

[yankeeyosh]

Giants laid an egg :(

[LakeJay]

Hungover for the AM part of the day...Now I can't find my iPod which I know I used yesterday.

[lilyflower]

I didn't get a damn thing done today.

[pisces2473]

I saw myself on a DVD and realized how fat I am.

Okay, I don't think that's true, Jen.

[pisces2473]

Um...okay...I'll PM you.

[biodork]

It's Monday. :(

[J-girl]

I am three stops away from my work and I reach into my bag to get my access card out and my tampon flies out of my bag and hits the guy who was sitting next to me and falls in the space between me and him.

Now luckily this guy was sleeping but somehow I had to get a hold of the tampon and put it in my bag without the person in the front noticing and I also had to make sure this guy doesnt wake up.

I slid it under my thigh, clasped it in my right hand and shoved it into my bag!

:redface:

[coll214]

I'm so tired this AM I almost fell asleep at my desk. That's what I get for staying out too late last night.

[MetFanL]

I saw this dude I know on Match while I was scanning profiles (b/c I like to look at whole profiles -- otherwise, it feels too close to online shopping for me and I feel skeevy). Anyway, he asked me why I was looking at his profile at the gym and I (kiddingly) go , "I like to spy on people online, dude," except I don't think he realized that I was being sarcastic...

[shinyleaf]

I just about hit a coyote on the highway into work this am. And it was blizzarding. And I could only go 60 km /hour b/c the entire highway was covered in snow. I had to turn around & come home.

So basically I just wasted 3 hours of my day in undue stress. BUT! I'm back wearing pjs now!

[mishl982]

I was so busy at work that I didn't get to eat lunch until 2 pm. And to hold me over until lunch I had Doritos. Bad, Michelle.

I remember once in high school I was pestering my girlfriend about what I say her take out of her pocked and then hide as fast as she could. Finally after insisting it was nothing about four times she said "fine you can have it!" and wiped the tampon at my head.

I thought it was a joint!

[Tayl405]

My mom left me a message today saying that my granddad is in the hospital (just a bug I guess), but that coincidentally her best friend was there too because she fell off a ladder and broke her shoulder! They're both ok, but talk about a bad day for them...

Damn, ouch. That sucks, Taylor

[lorion11]

I wore ONE knee-high black boot and ONE knee-high brown boot to work today (by accident). Now that the mornings are so dark, I just didn't notice till I got to work.

There is this group of girls that dislike me. So I know they will make a big deal out of it. Maybe even start a memo!

[twentity]

II have an addiction to cake when I can identify who makes them and the name of it when it they flash by on the screen on the food network channel.

[coll214]

I wore some new cute shoes to work and they are KILLING my feet, not to mention cutting up my boney ass heel, in multiple spots. :mad:. It happens for almost all new shoes, but this problem is in a different spot!

[mishl982]

Hmm just that I had another way busy day and had no idea what time I would be leaving work since I kept getting little surprises. (I hate not knowing, especially on Fridays)

[MasAndrew]

Only one bad thing? I can name a couple. First off, I didn't start off the "Boston Meet-up" as planned (see Boston Meet-up in Support Groups thread), this psychotic girl on my friends list on my LJ just gave me a long comment over not calling her and other psychotic crap she likes to spew about (someone help me!), didn't realized that I rented an awful and cheesy horror flick that wasn't even good, and I didn't get to talk to that cute girl over at the Hingham Barnes and Nobles bookstore counter. Her name was Holly though. That's the only thing I got.

But other than that, I feel fine.

[yankeeyosh]

Well, it's not really bad, but I had to drive all the back to CT to get my damn checkbook "refills" because if someone breaks into my apartment while I'm gone for the next 2 weeks, I'm afraid they'll find it and forge their name to empty out my account....I may have been too paranoid about it, but I gotta protect my money...yet in the end it cost me a good $15 in gas and $10.25 in tolls...damn you Long Island and the fact you're an island!

[mishl982]

I learned that the guy interest is the worst kind of person to shop with. I thought I was bad, he is so indecisive and takes "shopping around" too literally. It was fun, but next time I go shopping with him I'm giong to wear my comfortable shoes and plan to spend the whole day shopping. :p

Good thing he only doesn't shop too often. He's the type who doesn't do it alot, but once he does, he goes all out.

Oh yea, and I learned again today I am bad at baking. My banana bread was semi-burnt on the outside and still uncooked on the inside :(

[perfectjinx]

This was yesterday: I spent most of the day crying my eyes out. Depression is official. I saw my doctor and she confirmed it. She wanted to prescribe drugs, but I asked her not to. :'(

[mbagraduate23]

I got up this morning and felt like I was stuck in nuetral, I'm moving along but I just can't seem to shift into a high gear.

[labrat2111]

Well I guess it is later tonight but the stupid snowstorm. Thankfully I am near the edge but we are still expected to get 2-4 inches and what I hate is that tomorrow is the day I really have to come into work an hour or so early or else I'll lose time because I have to leave work for a flu shot and at my normal time for a therapy appt. Of course if I do go in early maybe less morons on the road to deal with so might be okay.

[Winter Storm]

In my haste to leave for work early this morning, I left my lunch home. Homemade chicken fetticini alfredo. Damn.

[winneythepooh7]

Well this happened yesterday, but I found out these 3 crazy people who never have met me have started this rumor YEARS ago not to associate with me or any of my friends in my alumnae group because we are all evil and out to destroy them?????!!!! WTF!!!!!!!

[coll214]

I raced around yesterday to get my damn snow tires on; to the point of leaving my car there since they had 3-4 hour waits, and making my mother drive me back and forth for what you ask?? NOTHING. We barely had a dusting last night!!!

[labrat2111]

This is mostly a bad thing in that I noticed my car is sounding a bit loud although I think it is a hole developing in my exhaust system or else part of a weld failing because I only had a new muffler and tailpipe put on in July. But even if something is going wrong it should be covered under the warranty.

[Tayl405]

I'm sick :( I HATE being sick. I'm such a baby about it!

[lilyflower]

The lovely thing with my car this morning and oh yes, it's only fucking Tuesday :mad:

[ebruening]

My most favorite magazine IN THE WORLD is ending print publication :( :cry: :mad: Now, I will have no joy upon opening the mailbox on the ninth of every month.

Edit: My god, I am just SOBBING over this. :redface:

[biodork]

The tetanus shot I got on Thursday still hurts like a bitch and I have a bump in the area and my skin is also really red. :(

[LakeJay]

My kids lost today. Probably would've won if I did a better job coaching. :(

[Taza Tikha]

Of the 100 people who died, 70 were kids. Nigerian plane crash (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4518564.stm)

[lilyflower]

Was very unproductive :(

[skangel]

dumped the boyfriend. but it's also a good thing.

[wordsmith]

Had no choice but to bow to the Gods of fast food. I'd been successfully staying away, but too much work and running today.

[pisces2473]

Ate too much pizza. But didn't eat much else, so I guess that wasn't too bad.

[mishl982]

Spilled some burrito drippings on my pants.

Then proceeded to spill queso on said pants.

I need a bib.

[biodork]

Left my building access pass at home. Ugh always has to happen on a Monday :mad:
I left mine at home...except home is 50 minutes away. So I got to work and had to leave again. I just got back. And now I've wasted most of my day that I needed to spend studying. I would have just stayed home but today is my last class before my exam and my prof is going over questions. And I HAVE to have my ID to get onto main NIH campus without it being a huge hassle.

[grneyedmustang]

I called in a prescription that I needed refilled Friday night. The automated line informs me that it will not be ready until today. OK, no big deal. I drive all the way to Kaiser during my lunch (its a good 8 - 10 mile drive) for them to tell me that my prescription's not in stock?

And then the guy is like "do you want to try another location?" The next closest Kaiser is a good 15 miles away. No thanks. So then he's like 'im trying to help you out'.

I HATE when people say that. Like you owe them something.

F*%#ing idiots. And what if this was a "life or death" prescription that I needed? I guess I'd be somewhere dead.

</end rant>

[NayUCLA]

a loan fell off my pipeline leaving me with 2 loans in the pipe and i am 5 loans under my pipeline goal...im going to hear shit for it for another 3 months!!!! i still have to pay 2 employee salaries... i found out from my mom that we are moving within the next month from our current residence of 15 years

[crystal_dance]

couldn't reach my goal of finishing my paper which is due thursday. also couldn't reach my goal of finishing packing so that I can move to the new place. also realised that I'm practically broke and am wondering how the fuck I'm gonna get through the break.

[lilyflower]

Got freaking lost in Newark AGAIN. Nice to know that I've been out here a year and still can't find my way around.
