What pissed you off today? Mark II

I have Multiple Sclerosis. I also have anxiety/agoraphobia/panic issues. I have been looking into inpatient treatment for the latter. Unfortunately, I live in a sparsely populated state wherein the former apparently precludes the possibility of receiving proper treatment for the latter. Today three facilities said they would not admit me because of my MS. "The issue is *your* safety," they like to say. Found one out-of-state facility a six-hour drive away that is willing to at least review my medical records. I call B.S. and say the issue is about them covering their own asses. Shouldn't a psychiatric facility have protocols in place to keep vulnerable patients safe from violent ones? And, it is not as though my MS makes me a wilting flower.
 
Customers who use Microsoft Word for 'artwork'.....*bangs head on desk*
 
Wait... Word isn't an art programme?

90% of the logos, etc, my clients send me are word documents!
 
I pissed myself off today.

One of these days I'm going to stop falling asleep randomly and learn to go to bed like a proper adult.
 
Nothing yet but it's still only 8:56am.
In some hours this peace will be gone and I'll certainly be really pissed at something for sure. :eek::catroar:
 
In my industry, we have a saying. If the client says "money is no object", then they aren't going to pay us. Unless they have pet insurance, but they usually say that AFTER "money is no object".

Also acceptable after-phrases "We'll work it out," "here's a deposit", and "this is my X-person and they're going to help." (followed by "YEHP!")

I absolutely do not understand people who won't spend money on their pets. :mad:

Of course this opinion comes from a person who once cleaned out her savings to take a pup to a specialist for back surgery. :rolleyes:
 
Not so much pissed off as sad, really....

The last six to eight weeks we've had hot, sunny weather. This morning, the first day of the school holidays, it's cold and grey with torrential rain.

How many more years are we going to endure this farce?? The best British weather is always May and June - the time when students are either sweltering indoors revising or sweltering in classrooms sitting exams. The reason for having no school in July and August, ie the need for children to help with the harvest instead, disappeared a century ago.

So I know that today there will be thousands of despairing parents, taking their young children on a UK holiday and wondering how they are going to keep them amused in the rain :(. I know because because I've done it.

It would be so easy to move the school year back gradually - one week per year wouldn't hurt, particularly as the children do no work of value in the last couple of weeks anyway. Someone put me in charge please.
 
Waking up with a headache because people don't fucking listen to me.
 
The fact that no one can hear me. Literally. The timbre of my voice is pitched such that many, many people have difficulty actually hearing me. Frustrating.
 
My supposedly best friend deserting me for a month because she can't deal with other people's serious troubles. That's okay, I needed the space.

But she called me this morning. "Hi, guess what I did, what I bought, who I saw, what I said...." not one word of hello, how are you.

I think when a person is on top of the world, their narcissism, or that of their friends, isn't as glaringly obvious as when things aren't going so good.

Yep. I feel your pain.

One of my closest friends is like this. She's in the process of divorcing her husband, and she's got all these dudes in the wings right now. She's so caught up in all this man drama that she literally cannot (or will not) talk about anything else. It's like talking to a high school student...which wouldn't be so bad if she were actually a high school student, but bitch is 30. It's not cute. She's way too old to be acting like this. I've got to where I pretend like I don't get her texts most of the time because it exhausts me just to listen to her prattle.

I quit my job about a week ago because my boss went completely off the rails. I made a post about it on Facebook, visible to just a handful of people. The aforementioned friend was one of them. She didn't say anything to me about it, but she did manage to wake me up the next morning to text me the oh-so-important news that one of her fuck buddies is maybe-probably-possibly gonna divorce his wife.

No "Hello," no "How are you?", no "What's going on with your work stuff?", no "Are you ok?" Nothing. Just "OMG, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, DUDE DRAMA."

I just...can't.
 
yeah, I called her on it, as gently as I know how (which I don't especially know how) and she's being extra-defensive and also fairly offensive.

Bummer. :(
 
1. The phone call I just received, telling me that I need to give another deposition. :mad:

2. My graphic novel ideas aren't writing themselves :eek:
 
People who drive 15 miles under the speed limit. People who don't understand the intricacies of making change.

~ Grrrr ~ I think, perhaps, I'm overtired. :(
