I know, that's why I didn't ask you for lessons.

I went downstairs 4 minutes (four minutes!) late to move the car and it had been FUCKING
TOWED! At 1:04!!!! Two hours, a trip to the Navy Yard and $300 later I am packing again. Asswipes.

Fucking COCKSUCKERS! They were probably laying in wait like some kind of fucking predator. Assholes.

Unbelievable. I actually ran to the corner to look up the street to try and get a glimpse of it. It was that close.

Rave: Papi and Mami giving my cab driver directions to the Navy Yard over the phone because I stupidly forgot to look up how to get there before I left.

VD, doesn't that stuff always happen at a time like this?

Rant: my prof decided we have to do a final for the class
Rave: it looks very reasonable and I get to do it at home!
Rave: house guest is gone
Rant: I still have not gotten an MRI and the many troubles I've had have robbed me of the energy to keep trying.
Rant: garbage men managed to skip our trash can (they got everyone else's + our recycling) again and a-holes have dumped all their own food trash on top
Rave: it's not raining!

Rant: Writing a massive proposal until 2 AM the last two nights.

Rave: Almost done.

Rant: I just know my damn client is going to hand it back stating that it doesn't say everything they want it to say, yet won't have any idea about how to make it shorter.

Rave: The funder imposed a page limit

MOD

Rant: my boss is resigning. I will now report directly to the a-hole CFO who doesn't care or know at all about what I do.

whynot_31

Rant: they are not replacing your boss?

...seems they are making a cut back.

scarlett

They hope to replace my old boss (who retired) and my new boss (who really resigned). Not cut backs. My professional life seems to get more difficult by the minute. Just met with the acting president and CEO and basically he had nothing to offer in the way of support. Argh. Kill me.

Suze Orman says I should be thankful I have a job and come to work early and leave late every day with a smile.

Need martini wine lobster good feelings from last night.

carmen

Where is the lobster you speak of

whynot_31

where is the martini that needs drinking?

scarlett

Um, see my rave from last night and you will know that it is all inside me. Last time we did lobster we got one small each and as soon as the meal was over we wanted to eat it again so this time we got TWINS!!!!!!!!!!

Suze Orman can suck it. Suze Orman hasn't had to work for anybody but her self in a damn long time

whynot_31

"Suze Orman hasn't had to work for anybody but her self in a damn long time"

...which makes her smarter than a lot of us, who have to work for others.

that's true, but if she did have to go back and work for somebody, I wonder how long she could keep her trap shut

whynot_31

Rave: Some of us would be rich if we got paid for never shutting up

Surprise! I wasn't either.

carmen

im pretty sure mamas post was an open invite (I would invite myself if I didn't have to work until forever)

whynot_31

Carmen:

I've invited myself.

...I think she wanted to see who was interested, not who is a victim.

anastasia beaverhausen

Whynot, ignore my posts. You have nothing relevant to add. I don't post to you, do me the same favor.
