Millie's terrible day thread. You can post any and of your disappoints for the day, week, month, year, or your life.

I hate it when something controls my facial movements. It happened this morning when Jo took me by the face and kissed me. Well, that time wasn't so bad, though.
 
I have caring responsibilities. Usually partner and I can time a few minutes for a shag.

Unfortunately tonight involved being interrupted at an incredibly unfortunate moment. Just hope I can get back to bed before 2am...
 
Ohgawd. I just downloaded my usual tax software package, only to discover that it doesn't run on any of my computers, because it requires an upgraded OS that... you guessed it, doesn't run on any of my computers. So to do my taxes (too complex to do by hand), $500 for a used Mac laptop, the least I could get away with, just to do my taxes.

I did this computer shit for a living, and I have grown to hate Apple. I have hated Apple for this kind of planned-obsolescence crap for 10 years. But I hate Windows even more for the amount of work its quirks put me through as a sysadmin. I'm trying my darnedest to migrate my personal systems to Linux, but major software - like tax preparation packages - isn't available for Linux.

Anybody know of a nice, comfortable cave somewhere? 😞
 
Oh, we don't want to discuss taxes we owe big time and that's all I'm gonna say. Between me not paying my quarterly estimates and Jo getting a big bonus at the end of the year without any withholdings but SS, we got hit big time.

For all the bravado about supporting small businesses and self-supporting gig workers, if you don't work a traditional job - which fewer and fewer of us do - the tax filing burden outside of a conventional job is total BS. But it will never get fixed for us. We're not billionaires.

:mad:
 
Trump's coming to our rescue or so the Orange Man says, by ending personal taxes. Yeah, sure.
 
Okay, not something terrible, but, I'm feeling like my old self today.

Well... avoid the trap I get in if I've been sick. You feel good, but your body is still working on repairing itself. Don't do too much in the short term. We certainly don't want a relapse like what happened last time.
 
Yeah, one day, "I'm on top of da world, Ma," and the next that explosions is frying my ass.

My father just had his hand slammed between one door and another one when the wind blew it out of the person's hand who was holding it open for him at the theater. It was the hand he was using the cane in and he hadn't stepped yet, so it was just sort of inside the door.
 
Ouch, tell Pops your Jew Bitch friend said, Sorry.

It's going to be one shitty day for me, literally. A colonoscopy prep scheduled for tomorrow. By the time I'm done my poor old butt will be so sore I won't be able to use T paper. Can I get an "Aw, poor baby!" or two?

Knowing empathy here. Went through that three weeks ago. Surgeon complained that the prep wasn't good enough, so she scheduled me for the next one in five years instead of ten, and noted in my file I was to do the two-day prep instead of one. Problem with prep is you don't know it isn't "completely clear" until it's too late to do something about it.

Is my good old "Enema at the gates" joke appropriate here?
 
Still suffering from constant sinus headaches and thinking about going to the doctor. I hate going to doctors.

Very random advice, but I found Flonase really helps me with those. and I started that on recommendation from my doctor.
