yes where is the warm weather-uggggg rainy ,crappy days
why does all sorts of work related crap happen on the nicest days outside! Meanwhile, in winter..... lots and lots of little to do days!
We just bought our fridge 2 months ago, so I was SOOOOO unimpressed to find the freezer completely thawed this morning, with about an inch of bloody liquid at the bottom of it :(

I garden planted today (some of it anyways), and both of my eyes are so swollen from black fly bites. Looks like I was in a fight and lost.
Moved here :)
People seem to continuously lie in their ads about the real size of their garage sale. It drives me nuts when people post ads in the newspaper or on kijiji or what have you for garage sales and they say "HUGE" or "MASSIVE" garage sale, multiple families, tons of stuff, etc. and you go all the way there very early in the day and all they have is like one table with a smattering of crap. Apparently some people don't know the definition of "HUGE". Hint hint, it's not 5 things and a sign that says your car is for sale also.
And then there's the people who say no junk, but in reality it's almost all junk, or the people who want almost retail value for something because it's still got a box or hasn't been used/used much. If I wanted to pay retail I'd just pay retail. You probably got it as a gift and that's why you've never used it.
Sorry but your old VHS tapes are not worth $2-5 and your well-loved Archie comics with no collector value aren't worth $3 each just because they're from the 80s... Nor is your rear projection tv worth $50 anymore even if it does work and has a remote.
TL;DR: People think their crap is worth a lot of money and they lie in their ads about the quantity of goods at their garage sales and it makes me mad!
ANTS! That is all.
OK, here's my rant. I have just about had it with canada post! In the last few weeks:
Had an Envie delivered to me ripped open and empty -- no "were sorry" or anything. Not the first time mail has arrived with a little slit in the side - obviously someone checking for cash/valuables :(
Two other times, envies containing valuable coupons intended for me failed to arrive in time for trains I was riding.
An envie sent to me from another part of the same city still hasn't appeared after nearly 3 weeks . . and yes, I know it was mailed!
Also, two different traditional trains I've ridden have disappeared before they ever reached me -- one did finally show up after weeks, the other is probably lost.
Delivery at my home is, let's say, "infrequent" -- I only got mail delivery at my house two days last week, and haven't had any mail delivered since last Wednesday (it is not just me, neighbors on both sides have not gotten mail either -- not even junk). By my count, there are at least 15 separate envies in the mail to me at the moment, mailed on different days -so why is everything arriving on the same 1 or 2 days a week (usually tuesdays and thursdays). And no one on our block ever seems to be getting any mail on Fridays anymore . . :mmph:
I mail out from a PO located in a Shopper's, and usually the employees there are super!! But for some reason, envies I mail out have been taking ridiculously long times to reach their destination - I'm no longer surprised when an envie takes two weeks.
I'd say that in the past month there's been long delays or other issues with AT LEAST 50% of the mail I receive or send. And friends around the city tell me they've been having similar problems with mail to their homes (fewer report problems with mail to their workplace).
With the price of postage, you'd think we could expect a better than 50% chance that our mail will arrive at its destination, on time! :mad:
OK, thanks for letting me get that off my chest. . .
fog and more fog can't see anything in Stoney Creek
My flippin nail polish chipped after an hour of it being on my damn nails.
not looking forward to the rest of the building I am working in transforming to the new CP delivery system, It will be a flippin nightmare again for a few months.
I finished mowing the last piece of my lawn and the part I mowed last week needs doing...
I didn't realize there was already a mini rant thread and asked FP to delete this one :P
Maybe since people are using it we should keep it.
Homework every night in Grade 2!!!! :(
There's only 9 days left gimme a break :(
Smallenfreuden, please stop now :(
+1 to Zonny and the ants. Those little so and so's are making a meal of my front entrance. I'm starting to think the Ant Out is like steroids to them.
when i'm sick and i got it from another girl at work and she is still sick and we're both scheduled to work this evening and we're both hacking away but are told we HAVE to work because there's noone to cover us.
GAAAAh!

Oh dear, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you work for a business that supposedly promotes HEALTHY living?? Guess that doesn't extend to the people who actually work there :( And I bet the customers would appreciate it too if you and your co-worker weren't being sick all over their pure-and-natural-all-organic-pesticide-free-hormone-free-toxin-free purchases, too!
sissy signed a contract with Telus and an hour away from Wpg...no service :( going with her tomorrow after my dr appt to help her straighten it out ....thankfully they offer 14 days buyer remorse !!
Our 9 month old son ran a fever for about 12hrs today. Good thing it broke because the fever hit 103.2 at about 10pm. Didn't like the Health Line's response. As long as his fever stays under 104 for 3 days in a row then that is just fine by their standards. :( Geez He's little and I was taught that a fever like this was time to go to the hospital, not time to wait and see if it got any higher. Just nursed him, so it's back to bed for me.
Getting barely any work even though they hired for this area because they were so "swamped"... I want money :(
Waking up at 5 am EVERY SINGLE MORNING when I don't have to get up til 8. Interrupted sleep makes me grumpy.
Also, waking up at the crack of stupid on my day off. That's annoying too.
That's all :)
