Tiny Complaints

[diapasoun]

Ohhhh I would be full of rage

[Marcela]

Convinced husband to make coffee which I rarely drink and it is not tasty. But because I’m the one who asked for it and made him drag the machine out of storage I have to drink it.

Tiny complaint is tiny.

I started taking triage unemployment calls today and oh my glob you guys I am pulling my short curly hair out.

People are so frustrated, and I know why, and I understand, and it’s so so so fucking hard not to take shit personally and everything is a clusterfuck and unemployment needs to hire and train more people ASAP, these claims lines are insane.

Thank you for being on the phone-front lines. If you want to complain here or in the Shout Into The Void threads, we’re here.

The conditioner I’ve been using has made my hair super slippery, so it’s hard to keep in my usual braids. Today I thought I’d put it up with a hair fork, which is nice as I haven’t used forks in a while. Well, now I’ve managed to lose a really nice hair fork somewhere in my house.

@meerkat

or in the Shout Into The Void threads, we’re here.

I FORGOT THIS WAS A THREAD. Thank you so much for that!

Also this is just overwhelming, but if I can maintain my mellow tone of voice and sound pleasant, it makes things easier for everyone.

Also breathing exercises on between calls.

You are amazing

[Illathrael]

Thanks friend

Thank you for helping to take care of a lot of scared people. When you can, try to remember it’s not hostility you’re hearing, it’s fear and worry.

[Illathrael]

Thank you, that’s such a good reminder

[JanetJackson]

Thank you for doing this work.

I missed using the heat of the day to put my tomatoes out because I was out getting other plants and then had to attend a virtual meeting. How did it drop ten degrees in an hour? freaking colorado.

[Illathrael]

Ugh. Got email blasted from Nintendo, someone in Chile signed into my account. After I signed out of all devices, changed my password, set up two step verification, I then get an email from PayPal confirming a $109 charge. Fuck.

[Illathrael]

I’m fine, but I don’t need this shit today. Why couldn’t they have pulled this shit on Wednesday?

[TNT]

Come ON. It’s April.

[brute]

That blows. I’m sorry they picked today. I hope they have an unpleasant weekend.

[Illathrael]

@brute

I hope they have an unpleasant weekend.

You’re the best.

I’ve got it taken care of, passwords changed, dispute filed, etc. I think tonight’s a wine night.

[brute]

Ooh, wine sounds good. Excellent plan

@TNT it’s 97 here today this better just be a warm front, it’s so early!

My delivery of garden supplies is arriving too late in the day for me to do much gardening.
