Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The Moaning, Groaning, I just want to Vent thread

to you all.

So I'm semi-grounded for damaging the car. Dammit. It'll be 2-3 weeks before I get it back, too.

@ Cleome...alrighty I want those socks! umm, for my daughter, yeah, for her!
Men's size 10 please!

When will someone invent the robot that does all the menial yard labour, like cutting the grass and raking the leaves?

Do I really have to invent this myself AS WELL?

*sigh*

I'm up way too early with very little to do today!! I had a yummy SuperSonic breakfast burrito breakfast already, nothing much is going on here or at Facebook as is normal for Sunday morning.

I've got an annoying case of the ennui-feh-blahs.

If you order the Size 14DD, one sock will accommodate an entire baby!

Right now I'm having the worst left-hand carpal tunnel of my life. Most of my left hand is literally numbed/without feeling for a huge portion of the day. My fingers are also frequently sore. (Yes, I am typing this almost entirely with my right hand. Now you have a clue why my contributions here have been so sparse this week.)

I do a ton of hand-transcribing at my current temp job, and now I may lose even this pitiful drop of income, because my right hand won't ever have the speed and accuracy of my left.



Also: No paid sick time + no willingness to spend all of Saturday waiting at Urgent Care = No getting this looked at until a week from today, at the very earliest.

I have a bad cold and have not been able to work out all week! I feel fat, lumpy, out of shape and I think I will collapse if I so much as run a lap.

Plus, I can't stop coughing!

Sit it out, Doll. A little flab around the middle is still easier to deal with than bronchitis. (Which I've gotten a couple of times by dragging myself back to work before I was really ready. Ugh.)

Now drink this soup.

Awww, you take such good care of me. Will you fluff my pillows too?

--> I have to be careful not to push that too far...

One morsel of good news, at least: Back in June I posted here about resigning from a long-running volunteer gig because I was sick of being treated like crap.

In late Summer, one of the staff took me aside while I was shopping, and wanted to know why she rarely saw me around the place anymore. So I told her. She seemed very unhappy and confided that there had been "procedural problems" as the org was continuing to grow and that she'd mention my frustration to the rest of the staff.

Well, long story short: Last week another staffer informed me that they'd removed the old volunteer supervisor from her post. So I could re-start as a volunteer in 2012 if I wanted to.

I'm still thinking about it, but these rare moments when somebody in a work or work-type environment/position of authority looks to have been telling the truth are worth noting for posterity, right?

Stay tuned for the flying pigs and the river that runs backwards!

Wow!

I think I just saw a slab of bacon fly past my window.

There's hope yet - and for that, we deserve a toast!

cleome, I hope your hand gets better soon.

Thanks, Quis. I spoke on the phone to the nurse, and she persuaded me to come to Urgent Care tomorrow instead of letting this marinate for a whole week more.

7 AM is when they open. :rolleyes: So much for my leisurely Sunday. But I've decided to tell them it's a Worker's Comp claim, which might at least stave off a huge bill down the road.

A day of not having to grind out 40-50 pages of numbers in eight hours time has already made it feel much better. I'm eternally grateful that the jobsite is too stingy to demand mandatory overtime, unlike the last place I temped.

"Who's Been Fluffing Your Pillows, Baby, While I've Been On The Road?" Sounds like the B-Side of a Nineteen-Sixties R&B single.

I don't feel comfortable saying this on Facebook -bitchy queens get to making shit up, you know- but I am pretty sick right now... It's been a DREADFUL weekend... I'm on antibiotics (today -Monday- is day 5 of 10) but they have been slow to kick in it seems, and things are just rough right now. I'm trying to keep the old spirits up but I am pretty miserable.

awww

poor lash !

I DEMAND that Lash get better, right away!

... and I will *destroy* any bitchy queens that get in his way!!!!

Thanks y'all! I very VERY stupidly was still taking Nyquil to help me sleep and realized earlier this evening- that contains ALCOHOL, DUMMY... which inhibits antibiotics. Which is partially why I am up so late (it's 3:30am here)... When I realized that, I *really* about freaked out that I had ruined my likelihood of getting better in 10 days!

Apparently I have some major cooties... I now have 14 additional days of antibiotics plus a 6 day dose of steroids to take.

*moan, groan*

Sore throat, tired...no fever so far.

>glares at Lash<

*moans toward Dev*

You both need to stop with the moaning and glaring and get some sleep! Tsk!

I'll be over later with some nice chicken noodle soup. And not soup from a can either.

:rolleyes:

<span style="font-size: 11px;">Razzin' frazzin' kids these days... [grumble]</span>

OH MY GOD...HE's A WALKER!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

oh...sigh...never mind.

Today is the first day in a WEEK that I have felt better and not worse... which is actually off topic so... ummm...

It's raining!!
