The Complaining and Bitching Thread

I have a World of Warcraft character named after her.

 

Does your nerdiness know no bounds?

 

I hope you meant that as a compliment.

 

Why wouldn't it be?

 

I would take it as one regardless.

 

After not quite having enough work over the past couple of weeks, I now have people throwing all their shit at me to edit.

I'm not complaining about the work; I'm complaining about the timing.

It's weird how freelance work is that way. When it rains, it pours.

Now I bet the publisher will send me a fall manuscript before the end of the week.

 

I just spent over an hour worrying about whether I forgot to send an edited report to a client, who was supposed to receive it a week and a half ago. My email program had no record of it going out. I asked the client if she had received it back then, and I attached the report to the email and apologized if she was only receiving it now.

An hour later, she confirmed that she had indeed already received it.

It's amazing what worry and stress does to the mind and body.

In other news, I'm back off of coffee. That shit just exacerbates things.

 

My washer just broke. If I could get the part, I could fix it myself right now, but I don't want to order the part until my husband looks at it. Of course, he's not choosing to answer his phone or any of the 10 text messages I sent or the email. I feel like I need some goddamn smoke signals. And of course he took the car.

 

B vitamins.

 

My butt is sore.

 

Cruise control is a wonderful thing.

*squint*

 

10 was an overstatement Part of it is that he 1) puts his phone on vibrate and doesn't feel it unless you call/text repeatedly + 2) doesn't physically look at his phone much. It was actually 3, mostly detailing the problem and the steps I'd taken so far to solve it. I narrowed it down to a broken motor coupling and ordered the part. Hopefully it will be here on Monday. However, I still have a Rubbermaid tub of wet, went-through-the-wash-cycle towels in my kitchen.

It just gets frustrating when I want to fix a problem and I need his help, but he isn't responding--especially something like this, where ordering the part sooner meant fixing it sooner.
