aylwin13 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Re: The cranky thread Just wanted to give Augusta Nat. Golf Club the middle-finger salute for finally allowing women (two at present) to become members. I'd give them much more credit if it weren't for the fact that it's occurring 40+ years too late. (Re-reading this, I think it may not have come out the way I intended it to. It's great that (some) ladies are being allowed membership at ANGC. What pisses me off is that it took this flippin' long for it to happen.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinKitty Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Re: The cranky thread I've gained back six pounds. All the clothes I had taken in and my new jeans don't fit anymore, including my favorite shorts. At least I'm too depressed to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Re: The cranky thread My legs have been in really bad shape. I've woken up with a Charlie horse these last two days. Right now they feel so weak, I can't walk without pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klytus Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Re: The cranky thread We got this gem of a trouble ticket sent in earlier today. I swear to God, this is all that was put into the Problem Description field... "Our auditors are asking for a large volume of data and we need a DVD to efficiently provide it to them" So... are you asking for a blank DVD, or for someone else to compile all of this data for you? If the latter, how about telling some useful details, like WHAT information is needed, where it is stored, how much data there is, etc. ::headdesk:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshairCollie Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Re: The cranky thread I've made it two days without throwing up.

Klytus Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Re: The cranky thread Yes, I know database servers being down is a Big Deal™. But did you really have to call it in at five-effing-thirty in the morning?! More to the point, you live in Texas, so this means you were up and awake doing work at 4:30AM local time. Seriously. Do you have anything that resembles a life? Yes, some work needs to be done after-hours. But 4:30am isn't after hours.... that is before hours. This means you run the risk of whatever task you were trying to do bleeding over into normal work hours - that doesn't happen so much when you do things after everyone has gone home as opposed to trying to get it done before everyone else gets in. It also means you are far less likely to wake.people.up when you call in your emergency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshairCollie Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Re: The cranky thread Wife's getting the car inspected. Multiple large problems including the rear struts and tires ... going to be very pricey, but there's simply no way we can get by without a vehicle. Edit: Have gotten further updates. Car will not be finished today, final tab looking to be in the $1200 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Re: The cranky thread Egad! I spent less than that for coilovers. Wasn't replacing the tires though. Those can be expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshairCollie Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Re: The cranky thread Egad! I spent less than that for coilovers. Wasn't replacing the tires though. Those can be expensive. Well, it's a 13 year old car we've owned for 10 years, and this is by far the biggest repair/maintenance bill we've EVER had on it. Really, we were due. When we pick the car up tomorrow, I may post the list of damages just because. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Re: The cranky thread Well, amortized over a decade that's not bad at all. I may have spent $1k per year on Stacie (who is about 18 years of age) over the past five. A/C is next on the list, as it happens. Not looking forward to getting that bill.

SatinKitty Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Re: The cranky thread This is a bad bout of depression I've been in for about two days. All I can do is hope it is better tomorrow. My Shrink put me on Xanax, which I am kicking. I think it might be the cause. Time for some CBT.

But please talk to your psychologist before you quit your medication. I have first-hand experience on the negative experiences of quitting cold turkey.

The Cold Turkey attempt has failed. I feel like hell. I took myself off of Paxil years ago. My therapist and shrink, alike, were amazed by my lack of the typical flu-like-symptoms that usually happens. Thing was, I didn't do it cold turkey, I just took one less pill one week, then two less, etc., until I was off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my pills last night and am mellow now. I just need to get to the Dentist as I have a swollen gum and need my six month check-up.

Ternaugh Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Re: The cranky thread Memorial service for my friend Rich this morning, and there was a large turnout. He was active in the local medieval re-enactment scene, and was a long-time gamer before that. We spent large amounts of our after-school time playing Champions, Traveller, D&D, and whatever new game we had found. He was a kind and generous soul, and his absence will be felt in the lives of many. He was happily married to his wife Ruth for almost a dozen years, and I am proud to have been his friend for almost three decades. I thank all of you who have raised a glass to his memory. For absent friends.... JoeG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drhoz Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Re: The cranky thread *sighs* Taxes calculated. Once again I owe the government more money. At least it's under $100 dollars this year, and most of it is the Emergency Flood Levy. The annoying thing is that I asked work to take a little extra tax out of my pay each week, so I wouldn't be hit with a tax burden come mid-year. And it still happens. Guess I'll be volunteering for extra Saturdays again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
