What pissed you off today?

Good for you Miss Snowy, especially so as I am aware of some 'live cargo' handling behaviors that used to go on here, that are far from acceptable. Australia doesn't have an option to take companion animals with you in flight unless they are guide dogs, I can tell you in a lifetime of flying ( nope not on my broomstick ) I have yet to even seen one accompany a person yet. The kittens may have never survived the flight. Sorry you went through so much but you did the right thing.

Thanks Ms Rebecca! It all worked out in the end; we got home safe and sound, but it makes me really leery about flying home again with the girls. Next time, I may have to find them a cat sitter. But all of my usual sitters were leaving town for the holidays too, so I took them with me.

It seems weird that you can't take companion animals in a plane over there. We have size and animal type restrictions here, but if the flight's under a time limit (6 or 8 hours, I can't remember which) they can go in the cabin.

I think you handled the power chair situation with grace and patience too. You know me, I would've been forcibly clearing the way with a clue club, which probably isn't the best solution in the long run!
 
My family.

No one else needs to use the phone until I get online to do something. (They have dail-up :(.) "Oh it is important and I need it now." Well I wonder did they ever stop and think what I might be doing is important, too.

They are trying to lower their power bill so they have 1 light bulb, which is a 40 watt bulb, in each room expect for the living room it has 2 bulbs. *gasps* I get yelled at for wanting to watch the TV with the light on so I don't have to strain my eyes. And after I have told them a 100 times it hurts my eyes, if I have the over-head light on my stepdad will turn it off and turn on the lamp in the kitchen on. (Yet, when he is watching the TV in the bedroom, he has the bedroom light on. So, tell me what's the different?)

That's all I can think of off the top of my head for now. I'm sure I'll be back with more. I can't wait til Monday afternoon when I'll be back in my OWN apartment.

The light bulbs won't have a lot of effect on the power bill. The biggest user of electricity is the hot water system.

Our bill last winter was $240 for three months. We use one electric heater which is on mostly in the evenings, although if Sir isn't feeling well we have it on more because He feels the cold. We get pensioner concessions, and will get a discount because of the dialysis machine now too but it's still a problem sometimes when that bill arrives :rolleyes:

We usually only have one light on in the kitchen and a desk lamp by the computer. Most of the lights have the long life energy saver bulbs in now. I've got used to watching TV in the dim light, and I always switch lights off when we're not in the room. Ingrained habit which I tried to pass on to the kids without much success :rolleyes:

Just for the hell of it, see if you can direct the more reasonable of the 'rents to this site and get them to enter the appropriate values, and run the calculators e.g., that 10 hours of a 60-watt light bulb will cost approximately $0.06 for ten hours' usage at the national average cost of electricity ($0.10.120 per kilowatt hour), as opposed to $0.04 for a 40-watt bulb. :rolleyes: Turn the overhead light on, and if he bitches, hand him a nickel and a penny and tell him you've got nine and a half hours of avoiding eyestrain left before you need to pay him for it again.

As Bandit said, the largest users of electricity in the average home are those which convert electricity to heat: water heater, heater/air conditioner/heat pump.
 
Girl Scout Cookie drama and I still do not have them nor will I as the fucking bitch froze them instead of telling me they were in so I can have them. :mad:
 
Finding out, yet again, that the one person I thought would always tell me the truth is being a lying, deceitful cunt. It pisses me off and hurts me all at once.
 
I got fucked over, lied to, and completely disrespected. Now the offending parties want to know why I'm a bitch all over again. God help me if I ever lay hands on a gun.
 
Would it be bad to offer you the use of mine? I mean, I trust your judgement! If you say "fertilizer" I say "okay!":devil:
 
Work. The software didn't work as anticipated, but I had a non-negotiable deadline, so I had to submit less than perfect work (or so I assume ... by the time I got it working properly, there was no time to double check). Now I'll be on pins and needles until Wednesday morning, when I find out how it went.

I despise the thought of turning in sloppy work. (stomping foot)

Don't worry. I'll get my ocd under control eventually. :rolleyes:
 
Las Vegas drivers, These people have no concept of how to drive.

In general, nasty rude people with the personality of an hairy ass usually pisses me off!
 
The corporation that I work for couldn't close ONE HOUR EARLY for New Years eve as a Thank you to the employees who have busted their ass over Christmas.. Oh yeah, then they understaff us... and of course we get people not showing up... so I am stuck at work until almost midnight...

not like there were many sales between 9 and 10 anyway....

FUCK YOU
 
I have to get over this thing I have for spelling and grammar being correct in public space. Tonight I have found (without trying) 5 spelling errors in 3 front page stories in a top newspaper, 1 useage of 'their' when it should have been 'there', and BBC spelling 'beginning' as 'begining' in big letters on their site....is like nails scratching across a blackboard!!!:eek:

Good lord, I know what you mean. I do that ALL THE TIME. My mother belongs to some sort of book club or other, so I borrow books from her all the time to read. There's a certain publishing company that has errors all through the books. Drives me nuts. I told Mother that she needed to stop paying for those things, if they couldn't be any more professional than that! ("Capitol" instead of "capital" and "principal" instead of "principle" are some of the homophone screw-ups that stick out in my mind.) :eek:

Drives me nuts I know...another sign that people no longer take as much pride in their work and product as they once did...lol, then I think maybe I am too harsh and I might start stuffing up due to age before long..yuk, then I will have to find if I have spellcheck and learn to use the damn thing!!:mad:

My damn dog...(although she's such a cutie)

....has a broken leg.....Vet says: "cast must stay dry at all times" She can't seem to pee without hitting the cast.....I think its on purpose.....I've already had to replace the cast once....sheesh......

I will go broke taking care of this one.... (but she really is cute...honest....)

but it is pissing me off.....
 
Not sleeping....seems I have finally realised it is only a week 'til I fly out and so though I am dog tired, my mind is ticking over endlessly....mentally weighing certain items, repacking cameras in my head, going through things I must get done, must not forget to pack, lists of things that need to be done made out for the men left behind, mixed with the usual 'geez, hope I don't miss my flight etc' thing,,,I just want some sleep!!!

Something I cannot really talk about, otherwise I might end up ranting and never stop.

But it pissed me off immensely. :mad:
 
I'm not sure (never having had one before) but I think I might be developing a UTI....I have a funny feeling in my bladder region like I need to pee, there's not much urine there, but there's no pain or burning :confused:

as long as there's no pain or burning.. just the urgency to pee.. maybe try and drink some cranberry juice.. it alters the pH and will kill bacteria.. but if it starts to burn or really hurt to pee.. go to the dr

Very good advice. I find that if I drink LOTS of cranberry juice when I just start some symptoms then I can avoid antibiotics.
