I was going to google something, but… I can’t remember what?
We were going to go out for a walk for the first time in 3 weeks and then it dumped buckets of rain and hail, so we didn’t go.
My tiny complaint is that yesterday was my parent’s 46th wedding anniversary and instead of something much cuter, they ordered a take out pizza and had it delivered to the trunk of their car. I don’t think they usually do much, but it just felt sorta sad hearing that was what they did.
I feel you on feeling bad for your parents. My parents’ 50th is coming up in a few days and they were taking the whole family to Hawaii to celebrate. Now they’ll be staying home (with my grandma there) and have probably lost about $8,000 on the cancelled trip. It breaks my heart.
OH gosh ouch, that’s a big hit. My dad just usually gets my mom flowers and a card and sometimes they go out to eat, but missing a trip to Hawaii is a whole different kind of pain. I’m sorry.
Bestie invited me to complain to her over text and I did and it’s been two hours and she hasn’t responded.
REPLY TO ME I NEED REASSURANCE
All of my to-dos for work are currently at a standstill and I have 20 unanswered emails in my inbox that I can’t answer.
Also I can’t stop stress eating chocolate chips.
I have a meeting invite that isn’t giving me the meeting warning pop-up thing in outlook. Its not that big a deal, but still.
I just had therapy and it didn’t really help and I’m frustrated with my therapist.
Oh, I HATE that. That’s annoying AF!
Nothing like Boss IM’ing you “uh… you’re going to log in to that meeting, right?” and realizing you lost track of time and there was no popup and OH SHIT.
I decided not to buy the 4 pack of snickers…and forgot to buy an individual snickers bar at checkout. I am snicker less.
TV. I’m already into the sour cream and onion chips
I’m trying to set up internet at the new house and the customer service person is totally useless. They are trying the limits of my canadian politeness.
My dog ate around her monthly medicines
Blizzard just outside the city. It doesn’t affect me but it does offend me.
I’m anxious.
I was on hold for 6 hours
Many of my neighbors are Trump apologists, or supporters. As an imperfect human, who happens to not support Trump, I struggle with the whole “I can disagree with you but still be friends” thing. I think I genuinely like these people? but admit that I am also disgusted and struggle to understand their point of view. I am not sure where the line is between being accepting of others’ viewpoints versus being some kind of hippocrit. I feel like I spelled that wrong but “Alley shots” with said neighbors may be coloring both my judgment and spelling ability. I’m new here on this forum, so I hope I am not being a jerk. I apologize profusely for any talk of politics because I realize it can be very divisive. On a lighter tiny complaint note, the home isolation has not improved my spatial awareness. Within the past week I have burned my arm on the oven while making pizza and cut my finger in a freak accident tripping up the stairs. Neither of those events involved “alley shots”. PS: alley shots were never part of my life prior to this corona / social distancing thing. I may have lost my mind and my sense of decorum recently.
Welcome! And reality as we know it is no longer normal. We hope we’ll be okay.
Can’t speak for everyone on the politics, but whenever my mom starts talking about President Trump, I have to tactfully steer the conversation in a different direction otherwise I may lose my cool.
Hello Illathrael. I definitely steer or deflect conversations away from politics convos because my emotional brain gets in the way of my rational brain when it comes to expressing my point of view. I am ill-prepared for the “court of politics” meaning I do not have my handy dandy sound bites (bytes?) or data ready to do battle. Or maybe I am just a coward.
These honestly aren’t the most effective way to sway. Becoming a trusted source, building relationships, and then talking about why you feel the way or are impacted by certain things is better in the long run.
Not cowardly, you’re alright.
