What Made You Angry Today?

[Friday]

as if it's something that must be done :rolleyes::banghead:[...

Cohort Effect!!!

It's actually a thing. Where, even if it's not what you personally want to do, 'everyone else' is doing it, so one feels as if they "should" be. Part of why the average age for 1st marriage is early 20s in some parts of the country, and late 30's in other parts. :D And why people in the UK take a Gap Year, & people on the US don't. Doesn't matter what it is, though. If 'everyone' in your age group, school, work, hometown, etc. Aka your "cohort" does X? OMG! I need to do X! Marriage and kids, in particular, cracks me up. Nothing like a single proposal, or first kid, in a group of friends, to start a domino effect of now all of a sudden everyone is popping the question, or going off their birth control! I think of it as the "Lemming Effect" :sneaky:

(I knew that sociology class would come in handy one day!)

My daughter got drunk last night and had an accident, totaled her car and broke her foot. She called me at 5 am to tell me.

The landlord's dog attacked my service dog and bit his ear. He bled all over the place (he has big floppy venous ears) and was so scared he jumped on the bed and peed on it and wet it through to the mattress.
yes, both these things and more happened today but those were the top two.

I am angry at myself for losing touch with my friend who passed away. I feel remorse and anguish that I was not there for him as I should have been. He was my friend and I feel I let him down and this makes me feel angry with myself.

I am sure the anger is just a way to hide the pain of loss, but it is what I feel right now...soon it will pass and give way to the grief and loss that is below the surface,...

I will grieve and I will be ok, but for now I feel angry at myself and I need to allow myself to feel like a little sh*t for letting him down...why was I not there for him as a friend should be? Maybe he was ashamed of his condition, maybe he didn't want me to see him sick and disabled, maybe he wanted me to remember him as being healthy and happy....still I feel like a pile of :poop:.

Some more contradictory gaslighty bureaucratic bullshit.

They should be /all/ shot on the spot for incompetence and ran over by a tank for lies. Traitors.

 

[Ronin]

I was not there for him as I should have been.

You think of him so much.

You relate so much, Lionheart:

You're still there for him. He's in the whole of your heart & mind.

I'm sorry for your loss, buddy. Hang on tight.

I have since writing this found out that my friend had withdrew from everyone over the past coupla years and that he had spoken of me to his friends...he still thought of me and was just too easily exhausted to get out and socialize....I am letting myself off of the hook and changing my reply to anger about COPD and the way smoking affected my friends health!

With work, most bosses see people as "a number just looking to get paid the most money in the shortest amount of time possible and doing the least amount of work." Seems to be a common work ethic here. So, to make sure people actually do work, do what their supposed to do, companies, bosses, and major corporation form policies governing all sorts of rules concerning work, how you act at work, how you do the work, what you job is, when you come in, when you take a break, and when you go home. Most people want to just go to work and go home later and get paid.

I used to have a job like that and bosses like that. Since I changed jobs, I love the work I do. The job means more to me than just working for a little pay. I get to take pride in the work I do and trade my time for some money doing the work.

I can see this as being a source of anger and stress. Believe I was there too.

Sincerely,

Charles Lucas

'orrible, atrocious nightmares *shuddder*

Don't want no more of those, no Sir

 

[Ronin]

Same old bullshit.

Bitches can't handle setting up emails and have the ones they have working. FFS.

That people decided to celebrate two parties in this week (Wedneday and Thursday) - and one will even block my onle room with WiFi here...

And to be told that I have to buy napkins from one colleague and being told they already had some after rushing to the super market during lunch break...

Too much community...

Me to an office, that demands I come in person for a bloody form I requested they send in snail mail: I cannot come in person to health and financial reasons.
They: In case of illness, delegate a family member.

(Totally f*cking ignoring I also wrote 'to financial reasons'. Yeah, no, I barely make it to have money to commute to work, for f*ck sake. I don't have money for this bullshit.)

Holy f*cking shit.
I get you incestual shitbirds are obsessed with families and count everyone has someone but just Nope.

On another hand if I considered my other affiliations 'family' I mighta drop them a guy. Don't think they'd appreciate.
