Why am I so upset over something I have no control over?

Okay. I admit it. I've ignored it all week. I've hidden in my office, done my best to tell everyone to shut up. I hated the fact people wanted to celebrate. You don't celebrate these kinds of things!

This time was hard. I've been loathing its approach for the last year. I always say to myself:

-you're successful
-you're accomplished
-you've got your shit together

so why doesn't it help? Why does this have to feel so bad? Why do I have to be so dissappointed in myself just because a few areas of my life have not fallen into place like I wanted? Why can't I celebrate the good instead of dwell on the bad?

Is there anyone else with this disease; perfectionism?

Sigh. Yeah. I got older this week. It sucked. And I'm still not perfect. :rolleyes:

Happy friday, since you don't want birthday congratulations ;) :rose:

And * Hugs * :rose:
 
omg ...i needed pain pills so i let the hubby try the new epilator i bought on my legs and fuck if they dont lie about how much it hurts. I can just imagine how much it hurts without being medicated to hell and back. And he giggles so hard over part of it and i laughed ...but there was that one spot on the back of my thigh towards the inside that didnt hurt and had totally unexpected reaction...to bad that reaction didnt last on the whole leg:eek::eek::eek:
 
Look, my not-do-dear house seller/house seller's realtor,

German banks don't routinely print their statements in English. Don't fucking assume that everything in the world revolves around your language. I can't go to the bank here either and routinely demand bank statements in some other language. It's a bank, not a translator service.

I sent you that statement over a week ago. It's not that hard to read. I'll give you a hint: Look at the NUMBERS. The important amount is even in Dollars instead of Euros! You'll have to translate a total of one word to figure out that this is how much we have - enough to pay what we fucking need to. And it's going to be here in time to pay what we need to pay, a date we both agreed on.

Besides, even if the bank did routinely translate their statements, now the money has been sent and is no longer in the overseas account. Why in the hell did you wait over a week before you realized you couldn't read the document? Obviously, now the bank no longer has the money, so they sure as hell aren't going to give you any statements about having it, english or otherwise.

I could give you the wire order to look at... and guess what? That's in German, too. Yes, what a surprise. German banks doing business with Germans... in German!

I don't know what to tell you, except that you need to get over yourself and stop stressing me out. I've got enough stress to deal with, and this is not worthy of making such a big deal out of it. Waiting a few more days is not going to kill you, and then the money will have arrived at a nice American bank that will print you out some statements you can understand. The numbers, surprisingly enough, will be very similar to those you already saw on the strange foreign statement.

I even offered to let you know the German bank details so your bank can contact them and inquire about the money they wired a few days ago. If you start getting pissy because it might take a few more days for the money to arrive, I'll call you personally and tell you where you can put that money.

It's going to be exactly where it needs to be, many days before closing. So stop freaking the fuck out about it.

It's lucky for you that my realtor has been such an excellent mediator.



ETA: I just realized that this probably should have gone to the "Dear X" thread. Oh, fuck it.

My brother had a friend that took one of the original epilators to his arm, screamed in pain, and then took it to the side of his head. I never did find out his reaction to that, but I assume it was more pain ;)

I went to bed at 7:00pm, right ion the middle of the kung fu movie I was wathcing. I then got up at 11:45pm to pee, get a drink fo water, and forum before probably going to bed again at around 1:00am again. Though I might stay up until 2:00 and finish the kung fu movie :D
 
Didn't feel a thing, down here. You wouldn't be close to San Bernardino, would you?

Nope, I'm in the Bay Area, about an hour or so north of San Francisco.

ETA: News just in, the quake was about a 4.0, no injuries or major damage, but a few aftershocks are being reported and they say to expect more over the next few days.

I was on my bed when I felt it. It's a metal bunk with the bed on top and a seat on the bottom. I was on the top portion and the whole thing just started to sway. I'm just glad the damn thing didn't collapse. :p

Damnit! So the Navy has done fucked up my pay. Looks like next week, I'll have to get this all sorted out...
 
Today is my older brother's birthday, and yet I probably won't even talk to him. No real animosity, we just don't spend time dealing with each other.
 
I've upset the cats.

My wife's away for a couple of days at a conference so I thought it was a good time to wash the kitchen floor because she's rarely out of it.

The cats don't like the scent of "lemon-fresh" cleaner and have fled the house in disgust.

If they're not back by tomorrow night I'm in deep shit.

Have you checked inside your hat or your puffy pants, King Og? They might have climbed aboard for safety.

If they aren't there then the moral of the story is, never wash your kitchen floor.
This comes at an excellent time for me, who has decreed that this weekend is The One where The Floor Gets Its Due and is Scrubbed Like Fuck.
But now that I know what happens...
Except I don't have cats so I wonder if I have to be exempt, and therefore still accountable to my floor.
This sucks. :D
 
How did I get a pen mark on my arm? :confused:

I don't remember seeing it last night before bed and there is no writing instrument in my bed either. I don't even use pens at school!

And this mosquito bite is irritating the hell out of me!!! :mad:
