What Disappointed You Today? - Page 18

Being called, and I quote, a "fucking bitch" for having the audacity to make a left-hand [whilst, for the record, making use of the appropriate signals] turn onto my street.

I am really starting to think that drivers licenses should not be issued unless applicants can demonstrate the ability to maintain control of their emotions while on the road.

Seriously. If you feel that enraged by another driver on the road making a legal turn, you really need to gain some perspective.

Plus has that irritating as all fuck habit of sitting there clicking his pen over and over and over. I had some very tedious work going on and my concentration stayed shattered.

Today I told my supervisor I was going to kill this guy. My supervisor said to quit going over to the entrance of his cubicle and glaring at him.

I totally understand there will always be some type of distracting noise in any software development environment ... but this is way, way over the line. It is unimaginable ... you really have to be there to understand the severity.

Sorry you have to deal with that. My old workplace had a guy who would always clip his fingernails (at least I hope they were his fingernails) in his cubicle so everyone could hear. It was a pleasant combo of annoying, unhygienic and gross.

Hearing that Jennifer Lawrence MIGHT be playing the role of Rosie in the Project Rosie movie! I LOVE LOVE LOVE her in every role she's ever played BUT I just pictured perhaps an unknown in this role

You never know....it could work out really well or it could just be a typical Hollywood rumor.

Here's something that doesn't seem disappointing to me in the meantime.

RockOn · 09-16-2015, 08:43 PM

Gemme, thank you for your thoughtful suggestion. I appreciate you taking the time.

Several years ago I paid $79.00 plus tax for some noise cancelling type earphones, even bought some earplugs too. I cannot wear the headphones all the time and forget earplugs. I have to laugh - I had an earplug jammed in so deep, thought I was going to have to go to Harbor Freight and purchase extra long needle nose pliers to remove it.

Today I decided to bring my huge LASKO max performance fan in to work tomorrow. I feel encouraged this may be the answer. It is loud but does not disturb me. In fact, I always sleep with a fan on. I find I rest better during the night with one on.

This total idiot developed hiccups mid-afternoon, the loud nauseating sounding type and would not get up off his dead rump to go to the breakroom for a large glass of water. After 10 minutes, I had to get up and leave for awhile. I feel confident in saying he was raised in a barn on a pig farm. I saw a friend at the copy machine and told her if he ever starts with the farting, that is it.

Some hetero males take such privilege, I notice this more and more all the time. It is very visible at my place of employment.

No worries, I will get this worked out somehow.

RockOn · 09-16-2015, 08:53 PM

Yes, yes ... so many men will sit there and do that disgusting thing in the workplace. Or really, any public place. I had to train the ones around me that was not to be done at work. Soon as one moves in and starts cutting his fingernails, I go right over to them.

I have known one, only one, woman cut her nails at work. This was about 3 years ago. It went on way too long. I went to her and asked her if she intended to cut her toenails when she completed her fingernails. She said, "why, is it bothering you?" I said it would be a good time for me to take my break if she did that. She got the message ... never did it again.

Men don't care. You have to go to them over and over with direct reminders and get meaner each time.

Rockinonahigh · 09-16-2015, 09:51 PM

I am disappointed that my screwed up knee is taking so long to get well. It is better but taking way to long to get to the point it was when I had the last Supratz shots, by time I got this far with the three shot routine I was near normal but cause it didn't last the six months it was supposed to I had the five shot routine to see if it makes it to six months. Why it worked so well the first time but not now...I have no idea. But I do know I wont have any more of the supratz, Its just taking to much out of me to be on a leg and a half.

RockOn · 09-16-2015, 10:21 PM

Rockinonahigh, I sure hope you get some long term much needed relief very soon. Sorry you are having to experience all the pain you are currently suffering.

Thanks for the reply Rock On. This has gone on way to long, I was getting injections of Lidocain in my knee from pain care where I get my back worked on and they did pretty good, then I herd about supratz from someone who used it what they said was good enough to give it a try but I had to go to another Doctor for the shots. I have a pain care Doctor that I spoke to about this first before I got the first shot he said it was worth a try if it could give me
that much help, you can bet I will go back to the other stuff when it is safe to. I have arthritis in my knee from a stretches ACL that has scar tissue built up and agravateing it, now I need a knee rebuild but the doc says I need to lose 50 more pounds first.

Looking for an alarm clock that chimes gently instead of traumatizing me each morning. When I typed bell alarm clock into Google, I was hoping for a less expensive version of the Zen Alarm Clock, but found this

instead. These are even worse than the one I have now! Then I thought I might make my own, but I'm afraid I'll get arrested, dies laughing.

Do you not like any options on your cell phone?

Barb42 · 10-17-2015, 12:38 PM

Disappointed in myself for not being string enough to let things go...

Rockinonahigh · 10-17-2015, 04:02 PM

Being my knee isn't steady enough to walk around with out a cane outside of the house I really am disappointed not to be able to take a walk in this nice fall weather. Not far from hear is an old riding stable that had the best walking
trails, I know the owner so can go there anytime I feel like it, hopefully before long I will be able to go.

cinnamongrrl · 10-17-2015, 06:08 PM

meh...

so much lately....

winter coming and knowing my daughter wont be back from Massachusetts before it sets in...

a persistent ankle injury that is keeping me out of the woods at my favorite time of year...

my bosses....I'm not feeling the love any more...

homoe · 10-31-2015, 07:30 PM
