Inconvenient Annoyances

1-Not having any time to sit and surf.
2-Even if I did the internet connection in our new house is crap!  BT refuses to do anything until 10 days has passed since they turned it on.  I loathe BT!!!

BT is the worst.  We've had internet in my flat from them over the past few months and we have to restart the router at least 2 or 3 times a day.  Sometimes it just won't work at all.

Grocery order will be 1 1/2 hours late due to traffic, and I'm hungry for that food now.

 

I am thinking we are all July/Aug babies? do we see a theme here?

Except Sarah Miss Nov.  I wonder if the *signs* shine thru ;-)

With the exception of MJ, you're all Leo's.  So isn't it best if you take charge and make all the plans anyway? 

We should do a white elephant party somewhere easy for folks to get to and then it can be everyone's birthday! 

Buckets to do before hols. Sigh.

I like both of those ideas... Jenn's the party master!  Plus white elephant parties are fun.

My IA is that I've already been rejected for one job I applied for, and the one that wants me to schedule a phone interview has me confused. It says to sign into their site and follow the prompts to schedule it, but when I sign in, there are are no prompts to schedule the interview. I sent an email to the application support email address, but haven't gotten a reply yet on how to schedule the interview. I'm afraid I'll be missing out on the interview after taking (and apparently passing) the hardest maths test I've had since I left university. 

At first light I staggered out to the kitchen, damp and bleary-eyed from the overnight sweatbox. Maxwell was lying on the floor in front of the fridge -- with something in front of him. Oh no! Not another hair ball to clean up! On closer inspection it resembled a baby mouse -- all hairless. Approaching closer to determine what mode to use in clean up, I saw it's tiny legs moving!!  Shriek!
I can cope with dead mice and even live mice but -- dear God -- not living (no sign of cat foul play) baby ones.
Fortunately DH is in residence so scooped it up and disposed of it outside. Shudder.

The stupid GP at the surgery I go to,make assumptions about me!!

I went in for a medical problem I'm having and he says "do you drink" I said no. and then he says "how much cannabis do you smoke", I said "what?...None!" he looks over at me ,and gives me a look of disbelief  and says "Are you sure....?"

yes as*hole, I am pretty sure I don't smoke that crap.

Hey lets judge the girl whos heavily tattooed and make assumptions that just because shes covered in ink, she must do drugs!

what a wanker

what an asshat! i'd report him to PALS!

I'm feeling really depressed today. I know it's partly due the "woman blues" but I also just cut back my dosage of Champix this week (because I think it may have been contributing to my sinus problems), so I was a little concerned about the way I was feeling. (I was suddenly so depressed I wanted to cry, then I got all shakey and weird and was dizzy with a tension headache for about an hour). So I tell DH about it and he says it can't be the medication because he doesn't feel like that... well, ok, its different for everyone, I'm sure, so that's no proof of anything. So then I call the nurse and ask her about it, just to make sure I'm ok, and she more or less made me feel like some kind of hypochondriac. Yeah, I can be sometimes... but seriously? I mean, some people have suicidal thoughts on this medication and other "violent and depressive episodes" so I don't think it's too crazy for me to be slightly concerned about anything that seems off, even if I have been on the medication for several weeks with no real side effects. Sheesh. I'm glad I'm not totally on the edge!  (FYI: I'm feeling a bit better now since I ate something, so it's probably not the medication, and just my monthly symptoms plus low blood sugar or something, but still...  )

Aww hugs Jewlz!

A guy at my work who is in a different team and who I don't get on great with has taken to calling me Emms, saying it is one thing but he writes it in emails all the time and its starting to do my head in. Its way to over familiar and I dont like it - MY NAME IS EMMA!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the vent i've been wound up about it all day!

This would totally annoy me. I hate how the Brits shorten everyone's name - Rodge, Bazz, Si, Emms, Cat, etc.

Just make sure you sign everything 'Emma' and address yourself that way. I wouldn't feel bad about correcting him the next time he calls you that. It's not your name.

My boss does this. He shortens everyone's name. He even calls a guy named Tony "Tone." Whats the point?

That is annoying. We have a guy at work who calls everyone a childish version of their name, e.g. "Tommy", "Mikey" or "Pammy" Grrrrrr!

I really just don't feel well today...oh well I don't have time to be not well

Yeah, that is not on.

My car just went in for its MOT yesterday... and failed drastically !!

Now, it's an old car (16 years) and has done over 100,000 miles, but I thought it was still running okay, but apparently not.

Unfortunately, I just spent £110 on new tyres, which I can't get back now, and the car needs about £400 of repairs to make it roadworthy. It's only worth about £300 anyway and the garage reckoned it wasn't worth repairing as it's so old, which means I'm now on the hunt for a new car... and I need one by Tuesday, so I can drive to Swindon to catch up with a friend (thank goodness I'm on holiday from work right now though and don't have to get to work every day)!
