What Makes You Angry Today?

[combatgoldfish]

Woke up and didn't feel like going to work. Took a PTSD day.

Went to go get coffee, was given the wrong coffee...

Went to the gym to do cardio, the asshole in front of me takes the last treadmill....

Was stopped at a red light, when it turned green, no power. Exhaust manifold issues.

I really need to move to the desert and buy a motorcycle.

I guess it's just been one of those days, went and asked for my paycheck today and was told they'd have to ask the boss, wtf ask him what? I earned it pay me. So I left at 3. Doesn't make any damn sense.

I think about this everyday. Too many people to deal with. Even if I didn't have PTSD I'd want to strangle most of them.

And Tnkg1rl, no one can refuse to pay you for work you've done. Get in touch with the Wage and Hour or whatever the agency is in your state. They will and have to assist you and you will get your pay. People are just f*cking with you, don't let them. You worked, you deserve that pay.

Guys the southwest still has small towns and open spaces. Yes, people are moving here in droves but it would take some time before your little town became a big one. And it's not Sahara-type desert, more like high plains with sage brush and the like. Some towns have CBOCs, so you wouldn't have to drive a long way for treatment and meds, unless it was a serious condition.

New Mexico and Arizona both still have room.

This has had me angry for a couple weeks. Got laid off 2 weeks before Christmas. I was their only vet. Then on Christmas eve, they called me to tell me i owed them money for some little bullshit. Not to mention they've pushed me towards homeless stint number 4. Shit City.

Hey Wagon

Good to see ya' back. Sorry to hear about the bullshit.

It's all straightened out I was in a really pissed off mood anyway and a believe I overreacted I got my check today all is well with the world I suppose

 

[JarHed]

Glad to here you got your check. Can't tell you how many people I worked for that tried not to pay me. I always got my money. Always.

 

[Sarg]

Don't know if it's Arizona, or all the states, if you can prove you were at work (your co-workers are able to vouch for that) and they didn't pay you at the regular payday, that employer could be responsible for six times the amount owed. I've never heard of anyone not getting paid around here. I've heard of businesses going under but trying to give the employees something in their paychecks.

Up until the last couple of decades, experienced help that showed up on time was hard to find. So many transients going through to California and would just stop and work a summer then split. Much better now but the wages up here still suck.

Same here, Ba. I spent years to get back in touch with an old friend, only to see his bald head from chemo. I may have said it before, but back a few months ago, we Nam Vets became half the complement we used to be. The last stat I saw, we were dying off at a faster rate than the WWII when they declined.

I keep thanking the spirits that I have not had any of the AO problems but tomorrow, I find out if I go for aneurism surgery. If I have to, they crack the ribs, pull out all the innards, stitch that puppy back up, cram everything back in and see if I die of Mursa or not. I'm getting that old hard knot in my stomach that says suck it up, there's rough flying ahead.

So, air sickness bags anyone?

Sarg

Sarg,

I am in Phoenix. If there is anything you need, pull the chain. PM me. Take this one seriously. Part of my experience was surgery so I know how important an aneurysm is, especially if they are cracking ribs. You will be lobster for a while and walk around with a pillow. Necessary. Give'em hell.

 

[Sarg]

Got off the hook, Vike. He said it was "only 4.9 cm". Only, and I walking around with a time bomb inside me. Hell, I smoke three packs a day and I'm afraid to cough. Also, he did a 180 and is now talking about stints injected up the femoral. He said before he didn't like the stints.

Sorry, that was insensitive of me, when so many of you are suffering from wounds from the war and scars from the beast.

Sarg

Edit to add: Thanks, Vike. Nice to know I've got someone close that's willing to "come arunning".

 

[reddevil1111]

its not insensitive at all Sarg. you were facing a serious surgery. And alone. That's scary big time man. Stop minimizing your troubles. They matter you know.
I am glad your not having to face it after all. That's good news. :)
