:blush:

That's just my big talk false bravado! I would never ever be brave enough to post them! 'Sides, I'm old...who wants to see that? :p

You dont look old. Not in the least!

I burnt my porridge because I forgot to stir it due to being absorbed with the cellar.

Now I have to use Mr Muscle to get the black burn off the bottom of the saucepan.

Not Happy Jan!

My underwire broke in my bra and now its hurting

pull it out!

Mild irritation: People that think sexually based attacks on Pailin give their M.O. any credence......

I'm no Pailin fan, which is quite the point: why be a sexist asshole just like Pailin?

Is this just irony, the dumbing down of society on the average, or people just being thoughtless?

When I begin to see people attacking the amount of children she chose to have, or photoshopped images of her naked, I think: Maybe she's right, we are in the dark ages and she is just clarifying, and a great representation of what America is at it's base?

:)
Dumb, sexist, fundamentalist, religionist, impractical, materialistic, undereducated, fools.

I hate to flame, but since pop-media is now advocating sexist mantras to sacrifice a political career(s), I have decided to take out my claws. I am on the sidelines watching everyone be clever about this. My former heroes have lost a lot of credibility lately because of the ridiculous pressure to entertain and put higher ideals on the chopping block for it. Go ahead. Amuse me some more.

Are we having fun yet?

It isn't just on the cellar..or on the internet.....

Lopsided boobs

OK then, just take the whole thing off. That's my solution. :)

I'm irritated because I can't find the cellar posts with the "motivational posters" (it's not in the motivation posters thread!) with the Sharks and the Tanks.
Anyone have a link?
Kthnx.

I have them - I posted them - want me to email them to you?
Here you go

I've been misspelling Dweller all this time. What a maroon!

No no, the dictionary word is dweller. We are Dwellars.

Whew...good, because dwellar looks more nearly correct to me anyway! ;)

This morning has been one of those mornings. It appears that several Mondays have ganged up and successfully sneak attacked me today.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!

our firm "administrator" who is a petty despot and a martyr, to boot. The one thing that really pisses me off is when you go into her office, and she immediately covers up whatever she's working on.

It's insulting; it's a slap in the face; it's an implication that we're not trusted.

Yes, it might be confidential information, but we work in a law office! It's all confidential! And all of us have been here longer--you think that after 9 years she'd realize that we're not about to steal the secrets of the accounts payables or whatever.

grrr.

Sorry LR. Hang in there.


Cloud, you know what you need to do, right? Right?
Kick her in the cunt.

Maybe she's looking at pron?

OMFG - and I thought it was just me! I am soooooo with you LR!

Maybe she's protecting you by doing that. Maybe it's a spreadsheet of everyone's salaries. Would you want your co-workers to know what you make?

She's probably playing Sudoku.

I just paid 130.00 for a highlight, color and cut and I HATE it.



sigh.

Another day of zero affirmative responses to my resume. This coffee shop offered me a job as a counter person.......Maybe I could be a counter girl and hope there are no lay offs or the store will not close. This might be better than I think as this might be one of the last places to close in Santa Fe.....


I should practice:
Would you like red or green with that? The cream is behind you up the walkway there. Have a great day in the land of enchantment.

Holy shit. I do mine standing over the bathroom sink. Same results but I can afford dinner afterwards...
That sucks Bri.

Bri, go back to your stylist and let her (or him?) know. If they are good, they will love the opportunity to re-do your hair. They want you to be a happy 'returning' customer.

L'oreal Feria! Love it...though it is nice to get a professional jobby with highlights and stuff from time to time.

It'll grow, Bri, and you're still a beauty, no?

Why do you hate the cut so much? It might be really quite becoming...maybe?

We need to see it....

I look like Matron McMatronly.

I look like a tool.

Grrrrrr. I mean, I looked like a tool before, but I hadn't paid for it...damn.

No.

let us be the judges....

Yeah...if you don't like the job they did, go back and tell them. Maybe they wont care, but it's very likely that they'll offer to fix it up for you. Especially if they're a local business and rely on word of mouth advertising.

I am tired.

I am tired of being tired.

I am tired of being tired and crabby and bitchy and taking it out on everyone else. I am tired of nobody helping me without me screaming at them and blowing up in their face.

I am pissed at my husband for saying he would help and not actually DOING it, as if just SAYING you'll do something is just as good as actually DOING it. Because it's the thought that counts, right?

But mostly I am tired of just being so negative all the time. I want to be more upbeat and positive, I do have a lot to be happy about, but it's hard to feel that way on 4 hours of sleep a night, y'know?

Now I have to go make dinner, scoop the litter boxes, do some laundry, and write a 4-page paper on a stupid poem. Also the kids have scouts & sports stuff I need to take care of, and if I thought about it, I could come up with about a dozen little projects I should have already done weeks ago.

And I just got a new job from a regular client. That's normally a good thing. I should be happy about it.

I have another client with a big job in progress and I'm waiting for her to send me a bunch of stuff so I can get started on it. She is dragging her feet. I should be happy about that too, because I am in no way ready to do this big project right now. But OTOH I really need that big check!

See? I can't find the silver lining in bad things, but I sure can find the layer of crap in every good thing. (sigh)

Shutting up now.

Agreed....they would rather know and fix it, than you hate it.

It's probably not as bad as you think, Bri -- just not what you'd prefer it to look like. But ditto what Ducks said, go back and ask to get it fixed. You might be surprised.

Oh and everyfuckingthing is irritating today. EVERY.FUCKING.THING

yes, you too

I have chronic shit on the liver today

I'm safely behind my sandbag bunker and I wonder if, like in many IRL workplaces, the women of the cellar all get their monthly invoice at the same time. [/battening down the hatches]

sounds like you need an optirectomy

I hadn't heard that one, lj. I laughed out loud - loudly.

Mrs. Dar wants to know what I'm laughing at. I read it to her.

She just smiled. Maybe it's a guy thing.

Yeah, but I don't know if it's covered by my HMO. :D

I guess so - I lol'd too. read it to my kids and
my sons laughed also, yet
my daughter gave me the disapproving eye.

i lol'd 2

That's just one of the side effects of being pregnant, isn't it?

She's not the pregnant aussie on this board although it's rather flattering to me that you'd get us mixed up. lol

Oh, Ali, I don't get you two mixed up. I was just trying to cheer Ducks a little.

The only people I sometimes confuse on here are UnderToad and Radar.

(Now that might be a bannable offense.)

Oh I see. lol Well you know, it's probably just because I think everything is about me. ;) Anyway, it should be even if it isn't! :D

Soooo......you think I'm fat. FAT??

Oh, no. I think it looks good on you.

:corn:

I have short-timers syndrome. I have a week and a half left and my motivation level went from 5 to -3 (on a scale of ten.)

And I STILL have to do all these happy dappy events and will have no time to get caught up even if I tried. Story of my time here; I'm so glad I'm moving on.

Tonight is what I consider my swan song: I emcee the scholarship banquet and praise all the donors and recipients, and introduce speakers etc. I won't have to do anything like that ever again, in all probability. I'm good at it, I hate doing it.

I have a headache and a muscle spasm in my shoulder.

Can I get a rub?

Sigh...

Job change blues I guess.

I hate you

You are off my to do list

and you hurt my feelings

its just a bit of winter weight, if I want to look good in my 'kini this summer I will be rid of it

ya big meanie you

Knew that was coming.

But, but, but... that was a compliment!

Here: :comfort:

Is that better?

gonna take a lot more ass kissin than that. IMO.

Not irritating, per-say...but...I ended up getting sick last night...dizzy, fever, felt sick to my stomache...bad enough that I left work after only an hour being there (ugh!) I came home and slept until about 9:30...at which point my dad had me take nyquil so I could get less restless sleep. It worked out ok, but unfortunatley I can still feel the nyquil buzzing through my system...and I haven't stopped shaking yet...so I've got to decide whether or not I can drive to class. grr.

Mildly irritating me today is: computer speakers.

I bought some on Thursday.
The shop clerk picked up a box off the wrong pile - I wanted the sub-woofer + five woofer/tweeter set - he gave me sub-woofer + two speaker set. :right:

Today I went back and changed them over, paid a few dollars extra. All good.

I got home and read the instructions. Despite the clerk's assurances that it would "plug straight in" to my computer, there is a catch. My machine has a two channel sound card. I can connect the system, but the back two speakers (for surround sound) will not function at all. No sound. :smack:

Turns out that first set I had would have been more suitable.

I am considering whether to go back to the store again and change them back. I don't think so - I'll just leave the other two in the cupboard and maybe someday I will upgrade to a better computer which will be able to use all the speakers.

Any suggestions from all the techie types here?

Update:

The speakers have one subwoofer and two woofer/tweeter units operational. Music library accessible.

The cable for the TV tuner card for the computer does not fit in the TV socket on the wall. The TV is not operational.

The Audio input for the speakers does not fit in my phone (i.e. FM radio, music player). The radio is not operational.

The mobile internet has some connectivity, but is sometimes really slow (especially for the cellar :mecry: ) Audio streaming over the net is successful. Video streaming has variable success.

Why is it that so many things don't plug into other things. C'mon, planet Earth, what is it with you monkeylings? Get it together.

Zen... you'se screwed, m'dear. Didn't you hear that NOTHING is supposed to plug into anything else until the year 3030?

are you sure? My mom used the "plug in the socket" metaphor when I got The Talk.

Pretty sure some people are doing the whole "plug-and-play" thing right now.

Unfortunately, not me.

-snorts- Me either, Cloud. As for "mildly" irritating today... apparently my mother lacks the brain-mouth filter thing and has been giving the future ex husband ALL the information I've been giving her (in confidence, I thought) about me and the baby and the job that I got in Hawaii. DAMMIT! >.<
