Inconsequential complaints

[Dropkick]

This is a place to rant and vent.
I felt a need to complain about how my day went and decided we need a thread for that.

 

[Dropkick]

I had a fine day planned. I was going to travel to the big city of Hamilton, Montana to do some shopping, have a meal, go to the matinee (the new Capt. America), and then go swimming. I was really looking forward to it.

I drove into town and decided to start by looking for books at the main thrift store. I did this. I found no books I wanted. I went out to my Toyota truck to go to my next destination. It wouldn't turn over. Nothing. Not even a click.

I spent the next 3 hours trying to fix my truck, most of it kneeling in gravel trying to reach things under the dash. I had no joy.

I called my Dad to come and get me. While I waited I put the dash back together. After assembling the dash I turned the key and my truck started. I turned it off and waited for my Mom, Dad, and my dog to show up. When they showed up I started the truck again and drove it home.

While I have suspicions I still don't know for sure what caused this problem. It's probably going to cost me a lot of money to find out for sure.

Between the two vehicles (mine and Dad's) we drove over 120 miles today to no purpose.

My knees are bruised from kneeling in gravel, my belly is upset, and for some reason my whole body aches (I just took some aspirin).

I'm going to have to borrow one of my Dad's vehicles to get around as I can't trust the Toyota, and my backup vehicle is already in the shop.

This sucks. Sucks. Sucks.

But I'll get over it, as it isn't really that great of an event when you look at the big picture. -it still sucks though

I have no job.

I don't have health insurance. I am probably eligible for government insurance (Medi-Cal), but not every medical practitioner takes it.

My eyesight has gone really bad.

I can't work with my bad eyesight. I am a medical transcriber and I have to be on a computer for hours at a time, and I can't see well enough to do that.

I might need treatment and/or surgery to fix my eyesight. (And ther'es no guarantee it will help and it might even make it worse, or make me blind.)

Which costs lots of money.

Which I don't have.

And I can't get a job to earn the money because my eyesight has gone really bad.

FML.

I'm still sick. Because I'm sick, I can't work because my job entails dealing with both food and the public. If I can't work, I have no money to pay my bills or go to the doctor if it gets any worse. I'm here with a bottle of nyquil, a bottle of liquor, and some open windows hoping that my immune system can beat this one off in a short period of time. If not, I'm gonna be broke as all hell for a while.

At some point during the laundering process one of my socks got turned inside out.

There is a lot of help out there for people with vision problems. Try this: http://www.cdss.ca.gov/cdssweb/PG1941.htm

Also go get medi-cal! You can do most of it online! Also food stamps if you haven't yet. (((Hugs)))

I have been searching for my comb all day and attempting to scrape a hair clip through it instead which did not work. I went out looking like Wurzel Gummidge..
My dog " found" it mangled with two teeth left where he had "left " it under the bed in his cave of acquisitions !!!

 

[Dropkick]

My knees hurt, and thinking about the truck was still bumming me out. So I moped about and did nothing other than read, drink tea, and cook dinner today. I didn't put on pants until 4 PM.

But the worst part of my day is that I don't know who Wurzel Gummidge is.

I'm so ******* frustrated with you right now.

lol..

sorry about your knees , hope they stop hurting soon.

Wurzel Gummidge was a character on British TV many moons ago!

He was a scarecrow with hair like mine, but if I remember he was a bit naughty and miserable..but then who wouldnt be with hair like that????

 

[Blobbenstein]

W.Gummidge had different heads he used to put on, didn't he. That program used to scare me a bit.

Righto, but moving onto the serious stuff ..

Dang! Thats sad

I dedicate this clip to anyone who suffered cultural deprivation in their childhood similar to that experienced by poor DK ..

My knees hurt

My knee has been hurting lately (I had to have surgery a few years ago) and it reminds me I'm getting old.

Yes I forgot about that!!! I
Was a bit scared of him too
Slightly sinister generally .

Ahhhhw... and you manage to be such a delightful person

Oh! I used to love that program... I think I must have been brainwashed into thinking taking your head off and putting another one on was normal. No wonder the world is in a mess!

I am a really careful driver and I almost always respect speed limits. Can be a bit irritating as a passenger too "it's a 30 zone - hint, hint'... always gently reminding people to slow down and why the speed limit is there etc. Those adverts about speeding I watched when I was a kid worked. etc. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

So it really irks me that I got a ******* speeding fine in the mail today for tipping slightly over the speed-o-meter during one of those oooops moments! There's no justice in this world!

Now I have a choice: A four hour workshop to learn what I already know plus £80 or a £100 fine and 3 points on my licence. Damned if I do damned if I don't.

It makes me feel so anti-establishement when I start getting told off.

Grrrrrr...... rant over!
