Omg mm! She is escalating quickly :frowning:

I wish we knew more people around you to help look for a new place!

Nooooo I hope she’s nicer to you after eating all your chocolate! And that your CC company gets the false charge sorted soon!

Eating someone else’s chocolate should be grounds for a federal offence. WTF, lady. I’m so sorry.

My painter is doing a bad job and taking 2x longer than she said she would and wants to be paid more than what we agreed to.

My moving heavy objects person is not where he is supposed to be and takes hours or days to respond to messages.

My hot water tank person is awol.

My plumber didn’t finish everything he was supposed to.

I’m missing two little pieces I need for the kitchen and I can’t just go get them from Ikea for free because of the shutdown. I might end up buying a whole huge part just for these little pieces.

My current house needs paint and some carpentry to be ready to sell but I have no idea who to hire because everyone sucks.

I’m so tired and don’t want to be working on this project. I’ll be less whiny after a nap.

@Smacky all the complaints add up to a Very Big Complaint. Hoping things improve very soon.

My naturopath’s bookkeeper is no longer their phlebotomist, but the new bookkeeper doesn’t seem to be doing great either. Part of it is because my insurance messed up and had to reprocess a bunch of the payments, but part of it is that she still messed it up. And now I have to call and figure it out.

I asked her about it very kindly this evening, because she hadn’t brought it up. Turns out, she had taken 2 sleeping pills, and had almost a full bottle of wine. :flushed: She didn’t know she ate it!! I was way less mad after that, but also very concerned for her.

Whoa! Well I hope it tempered her animosity toward you… :open_mouth:

It goes without saying that she needs some help.

I really hope this was an intentional chocolate pun.

She has some major issues around sleep due to some truly horrific things in her past. I feel bad for her that she has suffered with PTSD for over 40 years, but she also has stated she would never go to therapy, or do anything about it…because that would be weak and/or only crazy people go to therapy. So while I have sympathy for her, I just don’t really want to be around her anymore. I am having to laugh at the irony of being stuck at home during a global pandemic with a random craigslist roommate that I don’t get along with. I mean, what are the odds?? haha.

I’m just really cranky today about how much our society hates poor people.

And how my step FIL can’t keep his shitty opinions to himself.

I can’t get my hands to cooperate and I really want to get these kitchen drawers installed. I have dropped the screws a billion times and the screwdriver won’t hold steady.
I think today wins. I’m going to bed.

It snowed again last night. :angry:

(I don’t actually mind the snow, and the moisture is for sure good (we had a relatively dry February after a wet winter and so are only at about average snowpack for the season), it is the below freezing temperatures that I greatly dislike, because I can’t do outside yard work at those temperatures.)

They’re forecasting golfball-sized hail later today. Severe winds. Tornadoes. Maybe locusts? Blood rain? Dunno.

Well, I guess that’ll keep people sheltered at home, at least?

Another tiny complaint is that even during shelter in place there are still an awful lot of shootings happening here.

Oof. This sounds like… people who were in my life and are no longer in my life. People like that latch onto someone, anyone, and expect them to meet all their needs, when what they really need is some damned therapy.

I know sleep eating is totally a thing with, I think it’s Ambien?

Yes, that is exactly how I feel. Like she wanted a roommate so she could have someone at home with her who could meet her needs socially…which for her basically means talking at me non stop, and no respect of personal space/privacy.

I just had a great conversation with a new roommate option. I want to move now. I am on a month to month agreement, and feel I should give at least a months notice, right? I really don’t want to pay double rent, but I also feel like in this situation it might be worth it…
