The Bad Mood Thread

[HowToDisappear]

I've had a really bad cold for a week and I think my head is one giant infection right now -- throat, sinuses, ears, and now my eyes. I have the worst case of pinkeye right now, I'm totally grossing myself out. Both eyes flaming red, eyelids swollen, oozing green goo. My husband looked on in horror and waved goodbye from about 15 ft away (no goodbye kiss today!) as he left for work. Urgent care appt in an hour.

so my dealer flaked and there is noone to drink with. not really in the mood to drink alone. I hate my first world problems.

So I'm working on getting my class A drivers license and have the driving test later this week. After asking if I could just use the biggest rental moving truck once in person and twice on the phone to verify. So I rent the vehicle this past weekend to practice driving and what not. I notice the weight of the truck printed on the door. Call back the DMV to ask them about it and oh it turns out I can't use that truck. That would be fine but except about 800 later I'm fucking pissed. Now I have to find a usable truck and those aren't going to be cheap at all. Seriously fuck the DMV.

Not a complete sentence.

And also, just to make sure I'm following correctly, you didn't know how much the truck had to weigh? I feel like that basic information is totally online. But you asked the DMV in person and on the phone twice? Why were you calling the DMV that many times to begin with? Also are you becoming a trucker?

Well I did know how much the truck had to weigh. I didn't know how much the rental truck weighed. I asked the first time in person after I got the permit. They said probably but call to find out to make sure. I called the first time and he said was fine. I then did a Google search of info and came up I couldn't. I then called and told them what I found and what I was told so wanted to verify the case and the lady just said get the biggest one and that would be OK. Today I noticed on the door of the truck that is said GVW under 26,000 so I called back and explained what I was told and asked them and they said no it wont work. It wasn't a total bust but I'm just pissed off that they initially told me yes and I spent 800 on a truck I couldn't even use and now I have to spend another 800 or so for the proper one.

I am not even going to become a trucker. I'm moving to Albuquerque to just do passenger driving in shuttle vans around TV sets and such but for the union a Class A is required. However you can only use a Class A vehicle for the driving test, hence the truck. This whole process has just been supper frustrating.

Also my apologies for the incomplete sentence, I really should know better.

I just walked in on two teenagers who broke into my apartment. Stared at them for about 10 seconds and told them to put my shit down and to get the fuck out. They complied and even emptied their pockets. Cops picked them up and I just ID'd them. Luckily, my roommate Courtney wasn't home and no one got hurt.

[ThatGirl]

Wow.. you are very lucky that it went so smoothly and without incident. I don't know what I'd do if that happened to me.

[algunz]

You're like Batman now.

[Gribbz]

Takes a lot of stupidity to break into an apartment in this complex on a Friday afternoon. So many people coming and going, walking their dogs, etc.

"Put down that signed and numbered Psych Fest poster now, motherfucker!"

Ha! I'm very happy they didn't smash any of my framed prints (or anything else for that matter).

[getbetter]

Ugh....I really don't want to deal with tommorrow's problem of the arc blast that happen today at work.

[chairmenmeow47]

feeling overwhelmed with life and being slow at work are not good combinations.

[locachica73]

I spent a week training my replacement only to find out she's moving out of state. So now I get to start over. My friend starts on Monday doing the job I wanted and I will be stuck doing two jobs I didn't actually want. Awesome.

And I got home to find my son and his three friends hanging out, apparently he got suspended from work for two days. There goes his rent money. I want a shot.

[algunz]

Why did he get suspended?

[locachica73]

He wouldn't tell me. I tried to guess, he didn't show up to work high, he didn't punch his boss and he didn't show up to work without pants... Other than that, I have nothing.

The girl is definitely quitting, and she can't give any notice because she has to pack up her home to move across country. Grrrr.

One of my co-workers who I dated briefly killed another person in a drunk driving accident last week. She committed suicide after making bail the other day. Although it didn't work out, I still had pretty strong feelings for her at the time. She was an all-around beautiful person who just had some demons she never quite worked out. Not in a bad mood, just a somber one.

[thizzin my brains out]

Jesus man, sorry to hear that.
...Was going to bitch about how shitty the weather is here in Sweden, but this thread helps to put things in perspective.

[amyzzz]

Sorry to hear that, Matt. That's really awful.

[ThatGirl]

That's awful, and really tragic. So sorry for your loss.

[captncrzy]

Wow Gribbs. Sorry. That's terrible.

[chairmenmeow47]

sorry to hear that matt

[locachica73]

That's awful. I am sorry.

[Gribbz]

Appreciate the words guys.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Holy shit Matt, that is crazy.

[Robin]

What an awful situation to go through. If I can hug you, I would.

[RedHotSgtPeppers]

Just got passed up for a job I really wanted. Made it to the final interview too. I can't help but think I said something wrong in the final interview. This sucks.

[captncrzy]

Don't beat yourself up too badly over it. At least you got to the final two. I doubt it came down to something you did in the interview...it probably had something to do with the other person just being a slightly better fit.

[ThatGirl]

You can always contact the interviewer by email and ask where there was an opportunity to improve. This shows you are open to feedback and may keep you in line for other opportunities down the road.

[chairmenmeow47]

yes, and then you can most likely expect a canned response that may or may not be accurate. they can't always tell you. and it's like a bad break-up, there's no point in asking what went wrong. what was wrong for them is likely right for someone else. sorry to hear this one didn't work out
