The cranky thread

Re: The cranky thread

 

Well, it's 3 days into a New Year and I've been told I have to postpone my R&R by a week. I worked Xmas Eve and Day. I worked New Years Eve and Day. And now my normal 6 week stint on site, which is already at 8 weeks, gets increased to 9 weeks.

 

And yet my return date stays the same. It's a real sucky start to the year.

My Pedicurist today did not speak English so all I could say was OW ! when she scraped my flesh with the file. Now my poor left foot hurts. The skin around the nails is scraped raw. I think I will go to the Expensive Place where I get my hair done from now on for Pedicure/Manicure.

I wish people wouldn't be so quick to believe things they read online. I'm talking about the "MSN is about to charge you for using Hotmail unless you forward this message to all your contacts" hoax. I keep having to send them to Snopes to show them it's a fraud.

I have not spoken to my brother even over the phone since Christmas 2006. His kids yes but not him. His choice apparantly. It took him 11 months to even reply by e-mail and that was because I sent presents via the post for Christmas.

So I have vented at him in an e-mail asking him to explain himself.

What he has also failed to realise that his mother knows all about this and is very unhappy with him. And the written letter she is sending him is much harsher.

:( DT, Hope your family woes get better.

Certain stories in the news lately have been really, deeply, horrific. Help me out here, people, fill up the Nice Happy thread or something so I don't think mankind is completely doomed.

I'll say it again-

 

Will sell soul to Devil to permanently eradicate cough. :help::idjit:

Have you been checked for anything serious? Josh had his cough for three weeks, so he went to the doctor, and found out he has bronchitis. They gave him codeine.

 

You have NOT seen comedy until you've seen a squirrel on codeine.

Considering all the a-holes I've encountered this week, I'm not sure human extinction would be such a bad idea after all.

Re: The cranky thread

 

So I got to kick a bum out of the store last night. Manager's privilege, yay.

Not much to see. Tall man, wasting away till his sweatpants hung like a would-be gangbanger's jeans, incoherent, open wounds on his face, swearing, hands and fingers curling inwards in that weird retracted position that gives away severe nerve damage. He got a bottle of mouthwash because neither the security guard nor I wanted to touch his incredibly dirty clothes. And besides, it was cold out, and he's not going to live much longer.

All par for the course, but look him in the face and you see teeth like ...I've seen the mouths of Punjabi peasant women come over to live with their descendants, women who walk like they had to wait 20 years to have their fistula repaired, and I've never seen teeth like that. They were so snaggled that even the healthy ones ought to have been pulled. He was otherwise a youngish White man, but evidently in all his years of life no-one, not parents nor social services ever took him to see a dentist.

Way to go, society.

Which I guess is a way of saying, "way to go, me."
