What pissed you off today? Mark III

[gracie920101]

This fucking sadness feels, at times, insurmountable. It doesnt feel like me. But my god, its all consuming.

Sending lots of bear hugs your way!

I must have angered the gods or something.

If you thought 50 Shades of Grey was bad marketing...

When fetishists build cults.

I was told about this and it sounded like a petty tabloid 'expose' on a BDSM club but after reading more it actually genuinely seems to be that a narcissistic control freak built a massively abusive cult centered around his S&M fantasies. And if that wasn't bad enough it looks like the state judiciary and other authorities are totally botching any potential investigation into the abuse by refusing to investigate claims ranging from rape to grievous bodily harm for fear that they might be intruding on weird sex practices they don't understand and labelled bigots!

To me this screams 'Rotherham', which was a massive scandal over here in the UK where the local police turned a blind eye to multitudes of (true) child sex trafficking claims in the local Pakistani population for decades because they were terrified that conducting any investigation might be construed as racist. Or the lack of investigation into widespread intimidation of voters in London by Asian-ethnicity gangs for the same reason.

I will genuinely go insane if they make the same mistake.

Need to rant.

I’m sure that there was no bad intention here, but I was finally able to get a new doctor appointment and just received a message tailored to me specifically wanting me to confirm the appointment and that I needed to make sure I could really go to it because if not they’d like to know because another patient also needs help. Argh!

I had a scheduled appointment on Nov. 3 and needed to go to it because things weren’t exactly getting worse, but the treatment wasn’t exactly making things better. I looked forward to it and made the appointment 3 weeks in advance. Then right before the scheduled time I get an email saying my appointment was canceled. Ok, I told myself I’d reschedule and I could make it. The next available appointment wasn’t until Nov. 21. Alright, just make it until then. Well, things got worse. Like horrifically worse. So I messaged asking what I could do to help myself while I waited and if they could possibly get me in sooner, I’d take whatever they had. I get a call this morning, there’s an opening tomorrow. OK! I’LL TAKE IT!

That email just made me feel like the problem I’m having isn’t as serious as the other patient’s issue. Maybe it’s not as important, but I need help because I’m at the end of my rope and I’ve been struggling for months now with no relief. It’s making my daily tasks difficult and trying to handle anything outside of the home is almost impossible for me. It’s to the point were people are starting to notice my discomfort and they’re asking questions and I just want to hide under a blanket. Maybe it’s time to get a new physician.

I feel ya, getting into my doc is rough too. And yeah, unless you have chronic "I'm not repeating myself for kabillionth time" issues, find a doc with a lower patient load. And I'd be livid too, how dare they triage you out of an appointment without you there or even on the phone? That's bad medical practices right there. I'd find a new doc for that.

You could have played like you didn't get the email and shown up, demanded a supervisor and gotten seen but that's not always easy. Hope they can help you out.

Did an hour of overtime today and boss asks if I can do more. I'm on two very large complicated projects for work that have to be right, I can't mess them up (one is city light timing in an area near me and I loathe messing up, damn type-A). So I can't work on them when I'm seeing paisley spots, no idea how they got paisley but it's a bad sign. Thank god my boss, even if he doesn't get it, try's to understand.

Sorry to hear about your grandma.

Yet again I had to take time out of my day to explain to another racist fuck that I am not Jewish and I am not part of some "Zionist conspiracy" to keep him down.

A cousin owners a tech temp and "head hunting" agency. I work two days a week, assisting her and her wife with reviewing resumes and giving initial interviews.

This person had the education background, plus his internship with a state legislator didn't set off ant red flags. I didn't like his answers when I asked if he could pass an FBI background check: we hire for a DoD research lab. He went off, thinking I was Jewish.

This afternoon, I received a call from the state legislator's office, apologizing for the man's outburst and thanking us for exposing his, um, faults.

Thank you and you, too.

Second time in the 34 years my wife (of 32 years ) and I have been together, we're having turkey day at home and not at a relative's. First was 11 years ago when we did a family trip to NYC for the parade and dinner. She is thrilled!

Grilled turkey, smoked tritip and lamb rack for later. Fewer dishes and lamb is amazing.

Being repeatedly insulted in my own damn kitchen. By my mother in law, who a) doesn't seem to listen to me reguarding salt (hubby's on low as possible sodium order from his doc); and b) always find the worst things to say at the worst moment. Yes, remind me I'm upset over not being able to make it to Nebraska for Christmas, chide me like I can just drive across town to do it, not half the goram country. That helps ever so not. Tell me I'm glass half empty when I don't want to set out a fruit bowl- boys aren't tall enough to see that yet at 3 and 5. If the first snack food they see is fruit, they're more likely to go for it. It rots if they can't see it, we've tried. But I'm doom and gloom for not wanting to waste food for the sake of her whims. She hounds on a subject without listening to being asked to stop, even a sore spot that you either have to yell at her to just fuckin drop or walk away. Maybe grab ones keys. I have before.

And as she's near constantly stoned, it's never her fault. Her memory is getting worse and worse, so the lack of sobriety doesn't help, but as she needs two vertebrae fused in her lower back and 2 more in her cervical spine, I can't blame her for the high. And I'll probably bs apologize over it so she's not pissy. I just hate having to, hate not being listened to when it concerns hubby's health, even if he didn't eat it because I was enraged to even see kosher salt I knew she had father in law get. After being told I didn't even want it in the house. But despite that, she's the sanest grandmother they have (really, bio is an untreated bipolar and step is worse.) So I'll play nice, if only because she loves my sons enough to hurt herself just to hold them or see them smile. But we are establishing some new boundaries, that's for damn sure.
