Worst Week Rant - Self Indulgent ;)
 

Guys, I have had the worst week. I went to get my car Tues and it wasn't there. They put up some construction site a few days before and towed my car away. Since I don't use it every day, I did not realize it was gone so the city said cha ching. I paid $150 to get it out of the tow lot and $75 for the parking ticket. Ugh. :distress:

Blurt screwed something up so I had to do twice as much work on this one install. He had the wrong version of Win2k on the machine, I don't even know why he used that one cuz we have standard software that we use. :shrug: Of course, he did not tell me this, and was out "sick" as I was struggling. I finally figured out that was the problem. I talked to him today about it and he says, "Yeah, I thought that problem might come up as I was leaving the other day". Um, good thing you didn't let me know (insert Brian J's bitch slap here, I love that thing). :shocked:

We have a new street cleaning schedule here and so I got another $25 ticket this morning. I had an appointment today and on the way I got caught in a cluster eff when trying to take a shortcut. I got out of that and then got stuck behind a fire truck blocking the road which was waiting for a construction vehicle blocking his way into the fire house. Then, I ran into a funeral procession which I did not realize. So I'm the asshole who's beeping cuz I don't know what's going on and then some guy gets out of his car and calls me a f*cking asshole. :( I am 15 minutes for my appointment but luckily it worked out okay. Then going back to work I get caught up in another traffic jam from construction (I hate mid-week work hours construction, it is evil). I sit in that for 20 minutes. So my stupid little 15 minute appointment takes 2 hours.

Fortunately, that's the end of my rant, everything from then until now has been good. Phew. But seriously this week sucked and I'm exhausted. Thank God for Edy's, see other thread. :lol:

How was your week?

Awful - I suggest liquor!

Hmmm....
 

With yer luck are ya sure ya aint another sibling of mine? Sounds like the week I have...Each and every f**kin' week.

I am actually in a 'chipper mood' tonight, maybe listening to Slayer has something to do with that...Ah metal, My refuge and therapy all in one

Brian "Cant wait to go headbang at a future Fleetwood Mac concert...Just to scare y'all :lol: " j.

That's ok. My dad is very sick...my ex girlfriend has decided to visit the place in which I work and talk **** about me to my friends and co-workers...my cat is throwing up her food every other day now....my car needs about $800 worth of work..........it never ends. Ah well. At least I'm not in New Orleans. I've got to be grateful.

I knew someone would be able to top me. I'm sorry about the troubles you are having. :xoxo:

My dad's ex called his boss to tell him lies about him. :shocked: Some b*tches are sick.

And your kitty, aww. Has she been to the vet? The poor thing.

Dude, you put the b*tch slap in! :lol: That is awesome. :lol:

I should have some music on but I don't. I'm going to read America by Jon Stewart in a moment but will probably just crash. For some strange reason, I'm exhausted. :rolleyes:

PS, my stupid back pain has also returned.

Sorry your week has been bad... at least it's over! :o I can't complain too much about my week... although my company filed for bankruptcy on Wednesday and I've been in kind of a down mood lately.

Yeah, me too, down mood this week. I'm sorry about your company. What do you do for them? It may not affect your job, depends. Now I feel dumb for even complaining. I felt better after ranting though.

Random - I smell a skunk which is rare in the city.

EffinA! Sorry to hear bout all that. Indeed when it rains......
I just got back from Vegas, so I ought to be doing happy dances. Instead I get into a HUGE NASTY argument w/ my folks, of whom I was traveling with (we are ultra tight/close, but if an argument erupts...watch out!) so from Hoover Damn area to Bakersfield (for you non-Californian's, that's about a 6 hour trip) the car was SILENT...bristling w/ hardcore tension. UGH! All is well, I suppose. We had sorta made amends for the stupidity of it all, but they have tried twice to call me since we got home last night, and I am JUST not up to it. Pity too, cause the trip all in all was amazing, save for the last moment. Does that suck or what?!?!?!?! OH, and add that it's been 6 days w/ no smoking. I'm not even trying to quit...just well, long story. Debating whether to light up, or indeed quit. No exasperation, stress here. :rolleyes:
Still Suze, I'd take my issues vs. yours in a heartbeat. Nothing says ulcer like traffic and stupid people! ;)

I think the end of summer is getting me down a bit... takes me a while to adjust to the seasons.

I work for Delta and mostly work with U.S. Customs, Customs brokers and corporations to clear international cargo shipments. My department is really small, there's only 20 of us but we made a $3 million profit last year so I think my job is OK. I'm just worried about a pay cut, and my stock options that were once worth $50 a share are now at 75 cents. :distress:

Same here! I'm actually thinking about getting one of those light boxes. However, I looked into them today and they are about $250.00. WTF??? Maybe I can find one at a bargain price somewhere.

Damn. That happened to me too, my last company's stock was worthless by the time I was laid off. I'm glad to hear your job is likely safe. I'll pray for no paycut!!!

Thanks hon :xoxo: Damn that had to have sucked. I would have been exhausted after all that tension for so long! And as far as quitting goes, don't worry about that, maybe just don't smoke today. One day at a time? I know it is so hard though. Damn addictions.

I'm really sorry to hear about your awful week, Suze. :(
As well as yours, Brandon, Ken and Anita.

No wonder you have been so grumpy :laugh:

Seriously, that sucks :mad: Things will get better though!!!!!!!!

Suze, I could tee you my story about when I got my car towed, but it wold take wayyyyyy to long here. I'm sorry your week wasnt good. Hope the weekend is better :nod:

:xoxo: Ya'll are so good here. Such good supporters!!!!!!!! :angel:

And Suze, TY for the "inhaling" advice. LMAO. I just figure if these 4+ days turn into forever, then swell. If I break the chain of days, wasn't meant to be. Each hour that passes is a successful one. Besides, there are no Cloves here. :mad: And a reg cig just sounds awful. I may succeed yet! :thumbsup:

Hey how have u been? hows Steven doing? :wavey:

awwww sorry your week sucked, wanna compare it to mine? :laugh: 1st off my son who started 1st grade this yr, fell off playground equip. & cut up his ear, as the nurse is calling me another child, in another room for being in trouble came in a poked my son w/ his pencil very deeply (a-hole kid), then on thursday his teacher tells my son to go w/ 2 older kids to use another restroom since their class restroom was busy & the 2 older boys got into a scuffle & were taken to the office & my son was left to wander the building until another child asked him if he needed help & got him back to his class~ so some of this stuff seems tiny, but it is my kid & by this time i am pissed off~ so on friday my son comes jumping in from his ride home all excited for the wkend & i look down at his head while he is hugging me & notice a 2 in x 1 & a half in bald spot on my sons head, i mean it is blazing bald, so i ask my son what happened & he says his partner in art wanted to cut his hair & my son told him no, & raised his hand to tell the teacher this kid, who by the way is MUCH larger than my son is cuttting his hair & the teacher says just a sec i will be right there, in that sec, my son became bald~ i am so fricking livid~ when i confronted the teacher, she asks my son why he didn't tell & he said, but i did, so needless to say my hubby flipped out on her, in the principal's office about her not doing her job & she is lucky my son is just bald & not more seriously injured~ it was a total nightmare~ the byotch~ mess w/ my kid~ i mean if my son was the perp of this, he would have some consequences, the principal was livid also thank god~ to top it all off we are refinancing our house & well lt's just say 3 yrs ago we refinanced for a much lower rate & to have an escrow account where they pay our property taxes & house insurance & we just make 1 pymnt, house pymt/ins/taxes all in one, well i called the court house 2 months ago for something different & the lady told me that the past 3 yrs, my mortgage cmpany hasn't been paying my taxes so i am 3 yrs in the rear, now i have never been notified, i have made every house pymt on time, i thought they were doing their job~ the money they were posta be paying was applied to my loan & not to my taxes & such, well at least the money wasn't lost it did go to my house, but now i owe the govt 10,990.00~ can you say F@CK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~ so i tell my mortgage co & the set me up for yet another refinance to pay all this to the tax people & restructure me, so this won't happen again~ we have had 2 closing dates this week both cancelled cuz they said there was a lein on my house, so i check into this, i always pay my bills, i am not past due on anything~ well it turns out the lein is for medical bills that aren't even mine, or hubby's, they are for some guy w/ the same last name, but diff address & such, so it took me 2 days to straighten this out, so we get our 3rd closing date & the co my mortgate is at has a computer crash & they lose all the documents i sent them, we had to start all over at square 1, i mean there is a limit to what any human can take~ we are posta close for sure by tuesday, i keep saying my prayers, crossing my fingrs, throwing salt over my left shoulder...i mean GOSH!!!!!!!!!!~ you know i always pay everything on time, we are not slackers, it just pisses me off, that when you do, do everything the right way, things just seem to go wrong at times that seem so injust, i am so frustrated!!! :eek: ~

I second, third and fourth that! Nothing like a sit down , feet up and a drink and a ciggie ( ciggie being very bad for you but it works!!!!!!) :wavey:

I'm sorry to hear of all these bad weeks!! I hope next week is better for everybody. :)

Wow, such horrible weeks here, I hope the coming days are better for everyone. Hey, even if they're not, we're all here to listen. :xoxo:

Look on the bright side
 

YOU WIN :eek: :laugh:

I truly hope things get better!!!! :nod:

Hmm, since the mortgage company screwed up the fair thing to do would be for them to pay those taxes. But why would they do something as sensible as that? I can't believe that teacher "he's trying to cut my hair." "just a sec". WTF??? I'm sorry he got hurt too. Damn, your week was worse. I hope this week is much better.

Normally this is how I think. But I just got smacked around so much it was hard. However, now I am much better. I went to a fun party yesterday, drank some booze, had a ciggy or two (oops) and had a good time. Today I feel great even though I should be hungover I am not. Life is good.

awwww thanx guys & i hope this next week goes better for you!!!~

Bad week for my wallet and just before Christmas.

  $120 for vet to tell me my cat is okay. (I would spend anything on that cat)
+$665 for new exhaust system and tie rod in car.

=$785 I do not have. :distress:

Plus, I'm hella busy in the office, I spent 6.5 hours yesterday doing extra work because I initially got the wrong file. :mad:

But I know y'all have it worse. Rant away peeps.

bad week here too as well; actually bad past 2 weeks, but man I can't even muster the energy...bless me

Holy ****. Your week takes the ****ty cake I'm afraid. Funny thing is, my husband and I were just talking about buying a house, but now I think I'm going to reconsider. I'm sorry that stuff happened, but it'll all work out, things DO get better.

Aw, I'm sorry. :( I've in the same boat as you regarding the unexpected expenses. I've had to shell out $1600 for mole removal/biopsies since September (everything was fine, happy to report, but insurance covered none of it ) and last week I bought new tires for $350.

Yuck.

is that the bike you were gifted with?

Insurance companies are run by the devil. I'm glad everything was fine. Cars are so expensive to maintain.

I can't believe you had another bike stolen! Do they just cut through the lock?
