The realization that you are so incredibly different from all of your family members that you really can't relate to any of them.. Still love them to death but man it's a hard pill to swallow.

my sister and I are literally polar opposites in pretty much every way. we look alike but that is where it ends. and I have different political views than everyone else in my immediate and extended family, so I get that too. it's all good though, in the end all of my family members have a special place in my heart even if we are so different.

Trying to get tickets for me and some family members for Avett Brothers this morning. Had two windows open on ticketmaster and then boom....I'm forbidden from viewing. Ticketmaster must have blocked my IP thinking i'm a scalper. WTF. Grrrr
If it makes you feel any better, I'm not able to go to MOEMS either. We can start our own miserable thread, like we did when everyone was at Bonnaroo this year.

Just got ratted out at work by someone not even in my department for leaving early. Were open till 8 for people to pick up their cars from service and its been slow. Everyones been picked up by 7:30 the past week so ive been leaving shortly after. The problem is this jerkstore in the parts department has to stay till 8 incase people want parts. Misery loves company I guess, but he didnt say a word to me just reported it. As well as denied it was him when I confronted him yet goes into a 5 minute speech on why if he has to stay so do I and how he is supposed to report it if I leave early. Worst part is I get paid salary yet work 5 more hours a week then every other person in my department, so trimming 2 hours over the week was my way of being ok with that. The 6 month mark is coming soon so ill be asking for a raise or be going on the job hunt because this is bullsh:t.

I hate when people are not in charge try to act like supervisors. We recently adopted an official dress code for work (before it was just common sense). Different departments took it at varying levels of seriousness depending on the manager, so I was just waiting for the first person to complain because they had to do something that other people didn't.

Oh it will happen. We have to switch from polo work shirts to shirt and tie from memorial day to labor day. We typically get a few weeks after labor day until the sales department (which is run by the GM and have to make the switch immediately) complains that were not in winter uniforms. Then our boss tells us to change while parts stays in polos year round. Big conflicts at Dealerships between sales, parts and service. Sales wants us to do sold cars at the drop of a dime for their sale yet we see no commission, we try and fix the car while they try and get clients to trade it in, etc. And parts orders the wrong crap which in turn pissed off sales/service customers and ruins my customer service score...Just another day at the office.

Good old interdepartment rivalry. It makes work interesting at least.
Going camping with scouts at 9am tomorrow. Had a chorus rehearsal tonight so asked my guy to gather camping gear and help the kids pack. Got home at 9 and the kids had packed themselves and nothing else was done. Been going around the house for the last hour finding all our gear and helping the kids pack warmer clothes cause shorts and tshirts wont work for chilly nights. Tired and frustrated and still getting little help from my guy. Ugh.

Went to turn on my ceiling fan in the living room, and the chain for the fan broke inside the fan. Now, my choices are lights and fan off or lights on and fan on warp speed. Thankfully, the youtube informs me it is not the most difficult thing to fix.

Today I'm going to my father's funeral. He died Monday in his sleep of a heart attack. We were not close at all. Now I'm here with a bunch of people who know me, but I don't recognize any of them. It feels weird and sad at the same time.

I'm sorry EAP, that is a horrible situation to be in. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.

Oh EAP.. been there, done that. You hang in there. And if you need a shoulder you know we are all here for you. You might be caught off guard in the near future despite not being close... He was your father.
so, so sorry EAP. I can't imagine how hard that must be- I have not always had the best relationship with my dad, and although we are close now, I know how tough family stuff can be. my sister recently caused a huge rift in my family and the fallout has been really difficult. I hope you do have lots of other family and friends to lean on during this time. my thoughts and prayers are with you.
I was coming in here to complain about the last week. I realize my problems don't seem that big.
I'm sorry for your loss, EAP.
hey a shitty week, is a shitty week!
so here is a less serious grrrr from me: GRRRRR why does my cat ALWAYS have to throw up on the carpet?? really? you couldn't do it sometimes on the tile where it doesn't leave a stain? so rude.

I feel ya. But I don't have to worry about cleaning it up. Loki eats it. Winning!

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Regardless of how close you were or were not, I always feel for people who have a family member pass away. My condolences, EAP.
There was a thunderstorm in my neighbourhood last night and the Internet cut out. I called up at 7am this morning to check on the status and was assured it would be fixed no later than 10am. It was still not working by 4pm, so after a full hour of listening to shitty Muzak on hold, I was then told it would now be four days or longer. WTF mate?!
Ordinarily this would just be a moderate annoyance, but I'm on the job hunt at the moment, and it's all done online these days - time is literally money in this case. But that's all okay because they'll shave a whopping 10% off my monthly bill? Virtual pocket change which adds up to less than the amount of time that I lost? Pretty sure this is the last of many straws with my ISP.
I know this isn't even remotely on the same level as other people's actual problems, but it's still incredibly frustrating nevertheless.
