The Complaining and Bitching Thread

Typewriter ribbon got fouled up and no backups...grrr. Looks like another trip to Staples.

 

I actually am planning on buying one of those at some point, just not for practical use. The typewriter being out of commission does actually inconvenience me, and said phone would definitely not.

 

I'm staring at my desk wondering if I can pull a George Costanza for the next two hours until I have to be anywhere. I have a horrific hangover and the communists arrived an hour ago. Like a bloody horror show.

 

sometimes life gets in the way of tfp, i have been guilty of it before

 

i hate the new update, i cant find all of the forums

 

you could always get some quills and an ink well.

 

Still coughing, sneezing, head full of cotton, hay and rags.
Nothing worse than being sick and having no one with you to whine about it.

 

I'm taking a class called "Dealing with Difficult People" in April. It was suggested by my supervisor since I work with a difficult person.

How about that person goes to a class to be less of a cunt?

 

"Tonight I'm going to party like it's 1799".....Oh wait no. It sounds like fun to spend $11 with shipping (just looked it up) for parchment paper alone but I have to go with hell no on that one.
Typewriters have that perfect combination of instant feedback and quickly recording a hard copy. Ideal for first drafts, notes, or as I used last night before my mechanical failure making lists without mucking around with a computer or printer.

 

You know what would be great right now? Menopause.
It can't be any worse than lying in bed awake since 2 am, feeling the lining of your Uterus peeling off, accompanied by waves of nausea and vertigo, all while drenched in night sweats.

 

On our first night here the hotel heating coming from the hallway had half our room too warm, the window unit was barely able to keep the other half of the room bearable. At least now we have it more or less balanced.

 

I have dry sinuses, period. Not to be gross, but I can't blow my nose like most folks can, I use a lot of saline spray in a pump (not squeeze) spray bottle. HVAC systems that suck the moisture out of the air wreak havoc on them.

At least the Comfort Inn I chose in much nicer than the La Quinta where we normally stay. It's not near DT San Antonio, about 7-8 miles, but the drive to the convention center only takes about 15-20 minutes even with morning rush hour traffic. This AM we left at 8:25 and I was back at the hotel by 9:00.

 

Appling for a visa to the UK has been the worst experience in my lifeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......

 

Still sick, wasn't able to do the things I needed to do what with coughing chunks of stuff out of my lungs.
This sucks.

 

I find your contributions extremely hilarious....i am laughing at this moment, is this true? does someone out there still make typewriter ribbon?

I feel bad for you....I'm not sick but your description is a harsh reminder to take care of myself.
