Need to get something off your chest? Let it out here.
My garage door is stuck in the halfway position and off track. I had to barricade a bunch of stuff against the gap to block entry and will need to call a pro out to get this sorted. Pretty moan worthy imo
I have a presentation on Monday, and I’ve had a month to prepare for it, but I’m not ready. I’m gonna try to get it done tomorrow, but I know full well that I’ll be working on it over the weekend. :( (yeah, I’m super ADHD-i)
Also, work in general is just awful. I’m so sick of giving away so much of my life and not getting to spend quality time with those I care about.
Minor moans, but moans nonetheless.
wasps set up nest in the compost, called a man in, cost me £55 for two squirts of the poison. Guess am paying for him knowing hte right poison and where to squirt it… Also danger money…lots of danger money
Woke up with a bleeding nose this morning, bit pissed off about that
Ah complaints day. My time to shine.
- Forgot to take my antihistamine last night so woke up a mess. I’ll be fine when it kicks in but right now, hmph!
- Apparently Walkers have come out with a Wotsit flavour crisp, which sounds like it could be great, but it’s limited time only so what’s even the point in trying them because even if they’re nice they’ll get taken away.
- Got invited to something fun and I really do want to go but it’s a 3-leg, 3.5 hour public transport journey each way and my tolerance for that kind of thing is much lower now I’m getting old.
- Ordered some blackout curtain liners to help other half stop waking up at 5am, but I picked the wrong ones and now have to faff about sending them back.
- There’s some kind of work going on in the street outside (after two weeks of them setting up some fences around it and just disappearing) and the noise makes me want to chop my own head off.
First world problems I know, but they add up!
(I swear I am a happy person really)
Someone decided that 3:30am would be a good idea to do some DIY so I got woken up by hammering, drills and other power tool use from a street over to mine.
it’s too hot in london today
I have to go golfing today but its really early 7am tee time and it will be cold in the morning and hot in the afternoon and there is no way to dress appropriately.
I have to go golfing today
Commiserations. No one would choose to play golf willingly.
Just sneaking in at 11 mins to midnight. I got a train up to Newcastle today; due to some dickheads trespassing on the lines (apparently at Southampton), it affected the trains all the way up the country. Was supposed to arrive at half 5, ended up arriving after 8. Boooooo, UK trains, boooo.
I swear the pollen levels have been super high the last few days! My sinuses are all over the place and the antihistamines aren’t doing enough to help
Just received a letter this morning with the schedule of engineering works on the railway out the back. Every Saturday night in July plus the first one in August. 11pm - 6am. As if I’m not already going to be run ragged with the kids off. I mean, I understand why and don’t have any fundamental objections. And being so close to a station is a big positive. But still. Urgh.
I feel this and empathise with you, we’re right near a railway line too. Living so close to a station would be a benefit, if the tains were ever running, lol.
Australian TV cricket coverage. I’m sure there’s worse but I have yet to discover it.
I’m syncing TMS with 9now over a VPN
It goes out of sync quite a bit, but it’s very satisfying when it’s just right 🤌
I wish that would work for me but I’m on a twenty something minute delay here cos the cat vommed and I had to clear it up :(
Talking about cricket, we need a cricket community here.
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
I posted this on the Wednesday Whinge thread yesterday but it still very much applies so I’m going to moan about it again.
I slipped a disc in my spine a couple of weeks ago and my mobility is still limited and the pain is still bad. Our downstairs neighbour doesn’t seem to understand the concept of doorstops and instead he just slams his doors all day over and over again, maybe he’s pissed off at me because I stomped on the floor when he was playing loud music at midnight. On top of that there’s the bloke next door who has one of the most vile sounding smokers coughs I’ve ever heard, gets up for work at 4am and sounds like he’s wretching, lovely to be woken up by that. Plus the whole building constantly stinks of weed from another downstairs neighbour. Oh and we’re on the top floor so it’s been a million degrees. Urgh I can’t wait to not live in a block of flats anymore…but oh wait mortgage rates are fucked so no house for us yet - if ever.
Fwiw, I think these whinge / moan threads really help. I hate this archaic idea that we should just deal with everything and never talk about it. Moaning about shit is healthy, it gives you a small outlet so that you can keep functioning.
I hope you can get a good heating pad. My back is all messed up, 10+ discs blown, and besides meds my heating pad is a massive help. I’ve found the adjustable ones with timers are a big help.
I hope you feel better, I do you have some noise cancelling headphones since you can’t do anything about the rude neighbors?
Thank you for the advice! I’m so sorry that you have so much trouble with your back, that must be awful. I would definitely use a heating pad if I wasn’t already insufferably hot, lol. If the pain sticks around long-term I will be sure to try it. Main issue at the moment is sciatica.
Yes thankfully I have some Loop earbuds for sleeping, they have been invaluable. I tend to pull them out in a half-asleep state though! I’m sure I will get used to them :)
Oh yeah, I’m blast my ac when I use it but I’m stateside. I hope you feel better soon!
If it’s legal where you are I’ve had some luck with cannabis for help with sleeping especially.
It’s not legal in the UK unless you can get it on very limited medical grounds.
Yeah, that how I have mine but mostly you don’t want to be in a position to need it imo. Teen me would laugh at me getting tired of being loopy at times. Also the munchies can be a right bitch.
It’s been a lovely sunny day here in rural Scotland. I’d really like to be sitting out on the deck now with a glass of chilled wine. Unfortunately, one of the local farmers has decided to spray his field with manure (or something equally fragrant), so I’m sitting inside with all the windows closed.
Had today booked off work for no reason in particular so I thought it would be good idea to have a “few” pints in the pub last night, it wasn’t a good idea and I’ve spent all day feeling like shit and wasted the day off
Water, and time. Hope you feel better soon.
I’m all good now, thank you :)
