What pissed you off today? Mark II

[Loverskitten]

The day after my oldest turned 21 (i.e., the morning after his first real had-too-much-to-drink night) was drive-back-to-college day. Which meant that he spent the entire 7-hour drive more than a little hung over and forced to listen to my choice of long-distance drive music: two operas by Wagner. Been there, have way too many tee shirts, and wanted to reinforce the lesson.

Oof, just the thought of opera while hung, makes my head hurt. I really wanted to drag him to the flea market at 6am but was too tired myself. So he actually got off easy, you'd never know it by looking at the poor thing.

That first hangover is a tough haul - which is a good thing in the long run.

For what it is worth, I'm pretty passive and reading that made me want to backhand the elitist ignorance out of them for you.

I'm sorry that happened. *hands you magic shrooms to help you forget the whole thing*

But really, you should put your selfish wants aside and help overpopulate the planet.

Yeeeeah. I thought I had already heard it all, but this "make babies for the government" was new.

The usual comments I get, when people ask me when I'm gonna start having babies and tell them I don't want any:
1) You'll change your mind when you get older. (ah, the timeless classic. Well, maybe I will, maybe I won't, not gonna fret over it)
2) What do you do with your life, then, if you don't have children? (wtf?)
3) You've been a child once, too. (yes, I am aware of that)
4) Are you sure you won't regret not having babies at some point when you'll be too old to have them? (does someone really think I should have a baby just in case I start wanting one in the future?)
5) Taking care of children gets easier as they get older, so if it's babies or young kids you don't like, you'll just have to power through a couple of year or ten. (excellent, or maybe I could just adopt a 20-year-old)
6) Who's gonna come visit you in the nursing home when you're old, then? (ever visited a nursing home yourself? Ever noticed that kids visiting their parents are sadly few and far between?)
7) Why do you hate children? (well, I don't)
8) You'll learn to love them eventually. (and in the meanwhile I'm supposed to do what?)

What pissed me off today? People who think entirely with their emotions with absolutely no understanding (or desire TO understand) why things are done that are upsetting them. This time? Someone railing against animal testing. They linked a couple very touching/heart breaking videos that are either bittersweet (like the fair representation of Beagles being outside for the first time) or full of blatant LIES (like the video that claimed Beagles were used because they were easy to abuse due to their wonderful natures).

However, as it is my resolution not to pointlessly argue with people, much less online, I did not respond. Frankly, people with her point of view aren't coming from a place of logic or big-picture vision anyway. They just see a cute doggie in a kennel and don't think about all the THOUSANDS of lives that one cute doggie affects.

I'm quitting. After thinking about this for a long while Mister told me to leave this job. I don't feel good about leaving, but I'll feel so much better when my resignation letter is in. I'm not proud of quitting, but it's clear they want to get rid of the whole crew.

If you are more happy as a result of this choice, then hell yes!

And don't forget to do all that quitting stuff you always fantasized about.

Wow thank you .......... so much better

Excellent. It seemed a nice branch and I would hate to see it go to waste.

Watching my mother have a temper tantrum-- she has nothing to tantrum ABOUT, so she's manufacturing shit to blame me for.

I hate watching an adult return to childhood.

[Vixandra]

Not being able to do things or even plan for future events with out accounting for extra drivers and people who'll help with my kiddo.

Also, everyone who tells me pregnancy is wonderful and that I'll forget the sheer exhausted misery of it can kiss my ass. I didn't like being pregnant the first time and fuck I'm loathing it this time. Fainting, exhaustion, insomnia, pain on top of my baseline crap, nausea, oh the damn nausea, and not being able to see the same doc more than once (damn stupid clinic) is not helping.

Well, my coworkers thought I should have given them less than a week. They also look at me with envy. I didn't want to leave them short handed, and was worried things would be difficult for them. They were supportive and told me that they would all go if they could.

Now that the new manager has seen my numbers and watched me work, she asked if there was anything they could do to get me to stay. I considered it, but I'm going to leave.

I'm feeling nervous about not having a job for a bit, but it's going to be ok.

Nah, they didn't get this right. Correct is:
26% were unable to understand the simple question.
