Right now, it's just my life. I want to do so many things, but can't seem to find the time to do it in. And the worst part is, I can't tell you what I'm doing with the time I have!
I have to do 70-290 and 70-291 by the end of the year. It's not quite as serious as losing my job, but if I don't, it'll mean a good chunk of my bonus being deducted. I've also been studying for CCNA off and on, but that's not going anywhere either. Again, my own fault.

I've also decided (After speaking to my Dr.), that it's in my best interest to stop playing basketball. My knee just can't take all the jumping and landing, so I've had to give up the one sport that I absolutely love. It sucks more than I thought it would. But I'd rather be able to walk when I'm 50.

But I'm happy, coz I'm engaged. :)

I have a cold.

It sucks.

What comes closest to kicking my butt these days is the fear that I won't find ever anyone appropriate who makes my heart go *thump* and my knees open. :P

Fear #2 is that I'll settle.

NO, it shall never happen! I rebel against those cruel possibilities!

Otherwise, I'm cool. :)

Not having anythign to do.

Seriously, i have 2 months to waste before i finally head to uni, only 1 weekend of holiday and nothing to fill in the gaps.

And it's raining.

That we're three weeks past our product delivery date.

I'm sick with another bladder infection, I can't go more than about two weeks without an antibiotic and the big problem I'm becoming resistant to many common ones. The doc's keep switching the newer high tech ones, I am more frequently having to do I/V at home because I won't go to the hospital! My fear is becoming resistant and when get really ill with pneumonia or something, I'm dead!

Enough of my bitching!

Update: An Icelandic mechanic just decided to charge us about $350 (if not more) for a job that he quoted us at $80 for, earlier in the day. It was supposed to be a routine fan replacement, but ended up taking a lot more work... and a vehicle lift, which he didn't have. So he sent it to his friend to work on it. Did he think to call and check with me before doing that? Nope. I could've taken it to a cheaper place, if I had known how much work it would really be (if the guy had a clue in the first place). Customer service, anyone??

Iceland is kicking my butt, repeatedly. People here drive me nuts.

EDIT: Holy crap, Brewmaniac. I got nuthin' after that... :( that's damn justified bitchin', if you ask me.

I can only hit like 86%. I can not break 90!!

Abaya, I hope you are not paying the extra--he did not get approval for that!

Somehow my wrist arbitrarily decided to sprain itself while I slept the other night... I woke up Sunday morning unable to lift anything or twist my left arm. I use my hands for work, a lot, and so this stupid brace that I'm wearing is really kicking my butt this morning. And wouldn't you know I've had to type the letter "Q" several times, which is difficult with my pinky encased in this brace.

Add to that the fact that everyone in the office is asking me what happened to my hand, and I really don't have an answer other than, "I went to sleep Saturday night and I was fine, and woke up yesterday unable to use my left arm." *sigh*

My eating disorder is kicking my butt right now.

Dude, what DID happen to your wrist last night...

It's a mystery. I think my husband might have tried to give himself the stranger with my hand. :shakehead:

to what? What is the best strategy (job wise) these days? is it better to get a university degree, any degree, and then get a college diploma after?

what university degree leads straight into a job: I can list a few that I know of but mybe I'm off base:

BSc engineering: a P.Eng position - if companies are hiring
BNursing: a Nurse
Business Admin: maybe a big accounting/management consulting firm will pick you up, maybe.

Everything else will require you to specialize in post grad:

BSc Life Sciences: Med School
BAHnrs: Name it: Law maybe

A much more entertaining explanation is you are a sleep walking badminton player, and you swung a bit too hard at a short shot and smacked your wrist on a pole.

I recommend working on your backhand!

Yeah, but I have no idea how it works in Iceland. I'm not really sure what to do about it... their mindset here is usually just to "get 'er done," they don't seem to think it's important to ask the customer. I mean, in the end, we want the car fixed, and he's still charging less than half of the "big shop" in town. So, what to do.

Or perhaps I'm a sleep walking street performer, able to breakdance and pull all sorts of crazy stuff out of my hat, but Sat. I forgot a move and landed on my wrist the wrong way. I need to get ahold of Crazylegs or B-Boy Jr. for some pointers.

My family and my divorce, neither of which are "messy" but they're both incredibly uncomfortable and difficult.

Wow it rainsrainsrains in the Canadian Wetcoast. The weather has sucked. I could deal with that except its a combination of weather and work that really is kicking my arse right now.

It was a shite day at work, pissing rain and I'm slogging about the carlot putting on stickers, taking down balloons, cleaning out minging cars, even washing them in the rain, with a barely half hour break before I'm being summoned for some menial task. I'm generally standing about the garage awaiting my orders from some old greasemonkey with a chainsmoking habit, a phlegmatic cough and he can barely see what he's doing. Being his eyes, I was coughed on at least five times. Worse, I'm standing about in a dorking yellow rain poncho thingy that was not waterproof and thinking of my minimum wage. I got home and just lay on my floor for almost forty minutes, thinking why, why why didn't I take on a job at McDonalds.

my own procrastination.
two weeks of paperwork.
my so's shitty mood.
my lack of sleep over the past three weeks.

Fifteen months of unemployment.

My paralyzing fear of the dentist.
I have to leave for the appointment in 30 minutes.
My first one in too long to even admit.
This is kicking my butt.

An overestimation of my prior knowledge about leadership and professionalism, which has led to a panic attack in light of my upcoming final exam on the subject.

I took the pre-assessment (basically a practice test) before I took the class, and then again yesterday, and somehow scored WORSE yesterday than the first time. :( So the class actually made me dumber.

Going to work for my dad today.

I got in a really bad wreck on the 20th, still nursing 8 broken ribs, a cracked sternum, and a broken collarbone. Even the hydrocodine isn't doing too much anymore. Laying down all day sounds fun, but it's getting REALLY boring.

I donated blood today and now I can't walk up the stairs without getting winded/exhausted and having to rest. I miss my blood.

Still, it's worth it! :thumbsup:

'cb' - hope you feel better soon!!

death.

My accident was 7 weeks ago, and it is *finally* the thing not kicking my butt in life. I guess now it's back to plain old loneliness. Hubby has been overseas for a year and a half. I will get to see him around the holidays this year for two or three weeks before he heads out with the army for another two years. Sometimes the days just drag by, even with our three kids to keep me busy.

impending marriage failure....and deciding if I want to save it.

trying to find an apartment, and a reliable roommate.... keeping other people happy, even if it means i'm not necessarily thrilled with whatever is going on....

A quick chunk of hard earned advice Dancer.....do not give to others to the point of becoming resentful. Draw a line before it destroys what you are trying to protect.

I have this mysterious illness that 6 months, 17 vials-worth of blood tests, two ultrasounds, a stool sample, a stomach pumping and an entire night in the ER have been unable to identify. Last night was the first time I actually went to the hospital. My doctor had told me "next time it happens, go to the ER and get your stomach pumped so we can do a culture on its contents." :orly: So I did. Now I'm sore, EXHAUSTED, still have an upset tummy and I'm at work.

FTR, *it* is a random bout of extreme nausea and vomiting that happens to me about 2x/month, where I wake up perfectly fine, hang around all morning, perfectly fine (all day, yesterday), and suddenly, without warning, I experience projectile vomiting. Then, after a few hours, almost as abruptly as it started, it ends, and I'm perfectly fine.

I've never had a baby, but the way morning sickness SOUNDS is the best description of my illness I've come across, except that my nausea isn't eliminated with crackers and it doesn't always happen in the morning. Oh, and I'm definitely, 100% sure without a doubt that I am not pregnant.

I hate this.

Debt, Pinched Sciatica, and a Sun Burn.

Finances, and family, and the only girl that has ever been in my life that I'm probably gonna lose in a few days to lack of interest on her part...

Once you take out a cash advance, you're stuck takig out advances until you somehow make $400 extra in a month...

trying to change lifestyle habits to healthy eating and exercising(i have lost 16 kilos in the last 12 months) and having to sit thru endless junk food ads on tv

really petty woman at work who send out invites to 'going away drinks' with thinly veiled hints that I am not to be invited...

The fact I am late.... and I dont want to be late or have anything to do with what is attached to "being late".

I am kicking my own butt for this.

long commutes...

So just a little while ago I found out that I am going to be a father. It's unexpected, and very unplanned (in fact the PLAN was not for a long time, if at all).....but you play the hand your dealt.

I haven't talked to anyone really from the family for a while because I'm not sure that I've come to grips with it yet, and it still hurts inside a little bit each time someone says "Congrats!" Congrats? For what? Failed birth control?

This sounds harsh, and I really am getting used to the concept, but I am not 100% there yet. I've still got 6 or 7 months, and it will be loved when it comes.
