So, what's kicking YOUR butt in life right now?
 

Right now I'm well into the 15th hour of working on this week's die line project , and it's verging on one of the most difficult individual work assignments I've ever had . The fact that it'smind bending isn't too bad , but working with Excel to do statistics just takes forever sometimes . I think I'm going to flip out if I have to run any more regression analyses on this stuff . :mad:

So I ask the rest of the TFPer's, what hard assignments are driving you up the wall so far this week ?

Next week is exam week, Physics I, Calculus II, History II (mean ass teacher), and Government II, and some Art Appreciation bullshit all in a 3 day period. Ugh.

my two kids keep me rather busy all the time.

i love it though.:D

Applying for jobs with hundreds of applicants.

A paper that I have to type for human sexuality class, and this dance I have to know flawlessly to teach to my dance class next wednesday. Paper isn't started, dance is not perfect. Lol. :eek:

NO SHIT. id love to leave my current job, but theres nothing out there for a comp tech/sys admin's. :(

time to look into a career change...

I have an interveiw on Monday with a new editor at the paper I used to work for.

He's replacing the guy that fired me from my last job there.

the job market has gone to hell, we should start a "Get a New job here" thread.

Johnnysmoke No Sh|t,
Although I guess we used the bandwith with Y2K, and still paying for it.

Yep, the man who is now chargin' $7.5 a day for me to drive in my city is gettin right up my @rse. Also my neighbors, (although they have every right) for complaining that I have 2Live rockin at 1 am. (Argh, wish they were noisy!)

Not much kicking my ass right now :) In the final stretch of high school so there isn't much to do :)

Hoping college doesn't kick my ass too hard.

being unemployed -- I hate being poor :/

My couch is making my butt hurt. Maybe it has a foot somewhere in between the cussions

I'm getting pre-emptive on that... even for a college student, who they know will work for half the rate of a full-time person, there ain't this out there... so I'm changing my major :P

Let's see...nothing really this week--I have a test in my Spanish 213 class Monday and a presentation on Hemingway in the same class on Thursday, as well as the first midterm exam in my human sexuality class, but that all should be cake. Thank goodness for cake. The following week, however, I have a five-page essay due in my ENG 470 (Studies in Poetry: Romantics and Victorians) class and I have another essay and a presentation due in my ENG 362 (Women's Voices in American Literature) class. Both are things I'm getting started on this weekend and working on over the course of this week, so as they DON'T kick my butt too badly the closer they get :) So, generally, I would say school is kicking my butt :D

Running a fever and coughing up my lungs. But other than that; not much, hombres, not much.

Two of my exgirlfriends are getting married this summer. I have been single for almost 7 months and I just spent $95 on my cat at the vet. sigh.

The fact that I'm still living in my hometown. I've moved 5 different times across the country, and always end up coming back. I can't move now because of the money situation. I get a paycheck, then it goes strait to bills and rent. It's a no win situation. Cost of living gets so high...do do do....(sings like Marley)

School right now. Naturally every single teacher wants to assign twenty project right at the same time. That along with my voice juries, the approaching finals, and the recently finished opera, I barely had time to breathe. Thankfully things are finally starting to cool down, and I can relax a little more and get back on TFP. I missed you all!

Sorry kgb :( things turn up. Right now for me its just trying to graduate high school. I gotta get enough credits in that I need :/

Mine might not sound like half of what everyone else is going through but I have a speech coming up Thursday. I hate speeches with a passion. Fortunatly it's only 3 people who I have to give it to and I know 1 of em. But still speeches are still my mortal enemy. Who I would love to run from if at all possible.

putting a room in the basement of my house. I'm drywalling right now. It has a million corners and edges, and I'm thinking that I will never finish in my lifetime. All work and no play...

The economy. I'm having to dismantle programs that we built up over the past 6 years. It's tough to receive national recognition for the job you did, only to have to tear it down.

Oh well, we'll just have design something else to replace it.

These damn Adventures in Operations Management problems. I have to get through 10 sets of these things, they take me about three hours apiece, and I learn nothing from them. Oh, and they're worth a big chunk of my grade. Damn you Quant Systems!!!! Damn you Professor B!!!

My inability to decide upon anything.

Calculus 3 + insomnia. Not a good combo.

school what else?

I am taking two foreign language classes...

Not a lot really - things are generally pretty cool at the moment. Have to say I read this yesterday and it puts things in perspective

I don't have any of this "crap" to worry about.

When you also think what some of the folks in Iraq are living like at the moment (no water, food or power) and it kind of makes my problem of the shelves I wanted from IKEA not fitting in the car look like a fart in the wind.

news article on bulk billing
finished just yesterday.
hurray!

sitting in the hospital with pancreatitis.. sucks ass.. no food.. no water... just an IV and demerol... hopefully only one more day of that...

I am studying for finals and my Dynamics class is kicking my butt. I material is not that hard but the way the teacher tests on it is very difficult. Oh well only 10 more classes untill my bachlor's in Mechanical Engineering.

Getting my career started in this obscenely ridiculous job market.

yeesh. wel...

school:
- have to write TETRIS. stupid c++
- have to write essay on the language in Paradise Lost

everything else:
- recovering from bronchitis
- single and lonely
- unemployed
- not sailing

SO many things right now.

Terrible Headaches
My Children
Family issues
I am lonely
I miss my Friend

I have to write a long ass essay on Hemingway for the, oh I dunno, 5,342nd time in my life.

School, of course... Last day of classes the 29th, so french, madness in chinese literature, and environmental science finals after that, music juries on the 29th (don't know all the scales and stuff I need to have memorized for it yet), presentation on tuesday for the 3000-word research paper I haven't started writing yet, chamber music concert on thursday or friday, and my music for one of the pieces disappeared, a french test this week sometime, and a page or two for madness due tuesday as well. Oh yeah, and maybe a lesson on tuesday too, which i haven't practiced enough for yet. And, just to top it off, the bike I came home to pick up (since my other bike got recalled) was sold the day before I got back, so I won't be able to use it on the trails this spring, at least not until I get back home after school's out. But the weather's nice, and schools almost out, so its all good... just have to make it through the next week or two.

Organization of my living space, and replanning my vacation

Being surrounded by Mormons day in, day out. Other than that, life's grand.

My butt gets kicked by nothing.

Trying to figure out if a great friendship is worth risking on a relationship.. it would be easier if I could read her better, but it may end up being rather risky..

But I think the simple fact that I woke up at 3 a.m. on Easter to go out side in the rain and cold half naked to smoke a few cigerettes because I can't sleep is enough of a sign to say I need to go forward here... any thoughts on that one?! :p
