He probably drank your redbull.
Re: What's annoying you today?
I was in charge of applying for public funding for our football club. One of the members of the club, an football-loving engineer, almost begged me to include him. So I did. We had a couple of meetings, and the guy was eager to start working, "we need to take this club forward", etc. So we set up two meetings (with other members of the club) to gather ideas and create the draft for the project.
First meeting, he provided zero ideas. And he said stupid shit.
Second meeting, no real ideas either. He kept mentioning working with schools, and we didn't have enough time to talk to principals and get their committment letters, nothing - so we said NO to working with schools for this application, just because logistically, we couldn't. After about 15 minutes, he brought up the schools again. And then, again. So I told him that we weren't working with schools right now and that we didn't have time to waste.
As I was closing the meeting, I say that I'm going to fill the application-- but he says that he can do something if I want to. I said that it wasn't necessary, but he really wanted to do the budget. We already had a budget from a previous application, so it shouldn't have been too hard.
I had to re-write the fucking budget he made-- twice. Fucking moron got some amounts wrong, couldn't exchange currency for his dear life, and couldn't even multiply properly. His original budget was for around USD 17,000. After I fixed it, it went down to fucking USD 9,000. Imagine that.
The fucking tool thought that having 3 groups of 18 kids playing football for 8 days is the same as 54 kids playing football 24 days.
FUCKING IDIOT.

I'm going to have to start using progressive eye glasses
Saw my brother a few weeks ago and when he saw how I had to put a book a bit farther away to try to read something, he told me I would need them. Fucking 40's

Holy fuck, my wife just found out her Cobra insurance is going to be $1,750+ a month for 2 months between transitions to her new job.

Yeah shit is crazy how expensive that is.Pandemonium wrote:Holy fuck, my wife just found out her Cobra insurance is going to be $1,750+ a month for 2 months between transitions to her new job.
What is annoying me today shouldn't annoy people but it does as I'm nervous as fuck. I might be sitting in with Wayne Hancock for a couple of tunes tonight and the other guy sitting in is a WAY BETTER guitar player than I am for this type of music, and I have no idea what songs I'm supposed to do if I get to. So whiskey sours and bong rips until I do not care it is.

Re: What's annoying you today?
Well at least I get to use a vintage les paul with P-90s tonight so there is that, country is something I've not mastered. I can play it but since I don't really feel it it's hard to play for me. I'm bringing my AC30 hopefully that will help instead of my usual Orange or Marshall

Re: What's annoying you today?
So just a while ago I was going to use the BBQ to grill a couple steaks for dinner tonight. I lift open the lid to fire it up and a fucking *big* mouse jumps out off the grill and takes off into the ivy growing on my back yard wall. It would have made a great YouTube vid if someone was filming it. I think I screamed like a little girl.
BTW, my wife decided to make meatloaf in the oven instead. I'm probably going shopping for at least new grills if not a whole new BBQ Sunday.

I can't remember whether I already told this story, but we had mice in our flat in Edinburgh. To be fair, everyone has. We had a bit of a battle for two or three months with them, until we finally reached a peace agreement. They were allowed to reach the top of the washing machine (that was in the kitchen) and have a shit there, but they weren't allowed to actually touch the floor of our house. In return, we didn't make bigger efforts to kill them all, and we had to use shoes inside the house. They had one casualty (we set one of them up and my wife fucking stepped on it, it was one of the most adrenaline-intense moments of our life together. My legs were shaking, because I was the one who was suppossed to kill it, but the little shit went running towards my wife instead, so she smashed it. Thankfully, the mouse died instantly, and my wife was left scarred for life. And I had to clean up the mess.

I went grocery shopping last night and while doing that picked up some new deodorant.
Well I went to use the new deodorant this morning and when I popped the top off I saw a bunch of hair all over it. Someone had used it in the store before I bought it!
Who the hell does something like that?

Re: What's annoying you today?
Spent the day in the hospital.Got an early morning call from the hospital Emerg department, informing me that my mother was there. Last night around 11pm or so, she fell and couldn't get up(just like in those Medic Alert tv commercials). She spent a few hours on the floor trying to get up or at least crawl to the telephone but wasn't able to. Luckily, the windows were open and one of her neighbours heard her shouts for help and called 911. Good thing for my mother that the neighbour is a heavy smoker and usually gets up in the night to go outside for a smoke. Anyway, no broken bones or fractures. Her blood work and urine looked good but they are going to keep her for a few days to check her out, I talked to a geriatric nurse and social worker about getting some home care assistance and info about retirement residences/assisted living. I think the time has come for my mom to make the decision to sell her house and move to condo or apartment.
Re: What's annoying you today?
:( That sucks, Artemis. I'm glad she was found to be at least physically fine. It mustn't be easy for you, so a big hug from here.
Re: What's annoying you today?
x2 here Arty. Not sure how ambulatory your mom is, but this is a most difficult situation (displacing a parent) with instantaneously and constantly evolving particulars that are just depleting for all. Strength to all involved.
Re: What's annoying you today?
I am sorry to hear this Artemis. Hopefully the home care assistance will take some of the pressure off as both of you try to figure out how to move forward.
Re: What's annoying you today?
Thanks, guys!
My mother is in less pain, thanks to the hydromorphone. She's still having trouble moving, but seems a little better.The CT scan is supposed to be done today, which should show what the problem is.
On the funny side, my mom's hospital roommate is an old Italian lady who keeps shouting, "Madonne! Elp me, I Godda paint!" I think she's saying, "I got pain!

I will be in the worst possible spot for the eclipse. It will only be 58%.
If I was home it would have been 79%.

The only grandparent I have left is dying...It has been getting worse since Monday. She would have turned 95 this year, but I don't think she's going to make it to her birthday
Re: What's annoying you today?
I'm sorry Perk
For me my dog had a cough took him to the vet...enlarged heart, 5.5-6 heart murmur and in full congestive heart failure....basically "your dog is fucked, now give us a grand and go home"
Fuuuuck
On top of that I was just dialing in my vacation plans to go back east so that's off now...at least I hadn't bought my plane tix
I had just dodged a huge breast cancer scare with my mom a couple weeks back that turned out to be a fluid filled cyst
Fuck we all go through it...sometimes life just comes too fast...just couched up with my pup trying not to ball like a baby

Re: What's annoying you today?
Sorry, man... this shit sucks.
Re: What's annoying you today?
@kv I'm glad things worked out for your mom.
Sorry about your dog; that's rough. You have been very good to him.

I should just copy what chaos said because I want to say the exact same thing.
Good news about your ma, glad it wasn't the 'C'. Sorry to hear about your pooch, sucks.
