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:

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

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!

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
http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/4/11/4127/09278 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.

SO many things right now.

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.

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 |
I'm reaping what I've sown in my youthful indiscretion. My credit sucks badly. The job I've got is enough to cover rent & bills, but I have a lot of credit card debt to pay off, a few items that have gone to collection companies, and a sizeable levy from the taxman.
I dream of someday owning my own house in this town, but between my credit & the jacked up prices around here, I'm afraid it's going to remain a dream for a couple more years. |

my life is gettin kicked in by a term paper, my gf is being a warmonger, my mom is gone crazy, and im seeing people i know get picked off by car wrecks.

The laundry list applies, school, work, women, being poor, health. But nyeh, that's life. Much as I hate blind optimisim and the like, for the moment I've got the TFP back - and that's enough to make it all worthwhile for now.
|
a 15 page research paper that is due on thursday.
|
Yes, a rant and rave thread. Definitely a good thing to stumble upon. 1) Failing my psych class for no reason I can think of. 2) 15 page paper due in a week that I haven't started. 3) Girl is driving me up a wall. Other than that, though, life is...peachy. ::flashes a quick grin::
|
Oh, something I forgot. I don't have a job yet. Little details, little details. ::grumbles::
|
school projects for finals week, as usual. At least I don't have too many sit-down finals involving written tests, that's nice.

Trying to find a job, knowing that unemployment isn't enough to live on, and in about a month things are going to start getting repossessed if I don't find something soon. Anybody need an experienced PRO/E electrical designer?

Bunch of students here. Boy do I envy you guys. Trust me, it gets better (or worse depending on your view point).
I'm trying to figure out how to finance my expanding business. Just paid $10,000 in taxes, tuition is due for the kids in private school, 10 year anniversary is in 4 days, no gift, and I need to pay myself this week but don't know if the funds will be available in the business account. Meanwhile, I smoke, I drink too much and I'm probably 40 lbs. overweight. But you know what, I'm with Sixate, MY BUTT GETS KICKED BY NOTHING! |
This lady who tells me she will hire me for what's more or less my dream job, what I've been working for, what I could be happy doing for a long time. I show up at her office to follow up, and she's like "Oh I really want to hire you! Call me in a week!" and that's been going on for a two months. Geeze! If you don't want to hire me, say so! Or better yet, don't lead me on and get my hopes way up if you are full of crap.
I feel so used! |
School....I graduate in two weeks.

Rotator cuff injury and I threw my back out. It sucks to be me right now. Oh well, at least finances are in good shape.

School of course. I am taking a couple of computer science classes AND an EMT intermediate class at the same time. It all works out so that if I am not struggling with trying to learn some stupid trick to keep linux running I am trying to correctly cannulate an I.V on a 65 year old woman in my class while worrying about the guy in the corner who is really nervous and shaky that is gonna be sticking a needle in my arm next.

I'm trying to orchestrate a move from Upstate NY to New Orleans in 6 weeks. I have no job lined up and very little money. I need to find an apartment, move my belongings, and then find a job.

The flu. One child in my home day care got over it a week ago but must have still had a touch. My whole weekend was shot sittting up nights and doing laundry because my almost 3 yr old daughter was sick with the stomach flu. Nasty! I've been feeling nauseated myself but don't know if it's some new meds the Doc gave me last week or that I'm coming down with the flu. The flu SUCKS!

Some evil genius built a McDonald's across the street from my place of business. It smells like fries and burgers from about 11:30 AM on, and it's driving me nuts. I've brought my Ionic Breeze air freshener into my office, but I had a damn BBQ Chipotle Snackwrap today and it was delicious. God damn it. McDonald's, the company I honestly abhor, kicked my butt today. I know better.
|
Lack of money. It is kicking my (and my wife's) butt in a bad, bad way.
|
A general lack of concern and motivational spark...
I'll see what tomorrow holds in store. |
no money and my back is smashed
thats not the worst of it tho, cant go shooting. Which I know many of you are prolly rolling your eyes, but I had hoped to goto the olympics. :( |
Teaching in Prague is my current Kiwi Enema.
Love the job, LOVE the students, but the money a'int coming. If things don't improve soon, I may get stuck moving back to the States to work for another year and then try Thailand or Taiwan. I do -not- want to leave this place, but it may end up happening anyway. |
2 weeks ago I decided to take the leap, quit my job and figure out how to pull money out of the air (or the wallets of needing clients).
Looking at our bills and what needs to be done to maintain is artfully trying to kick my ass. But I keep throwing downward blocks and straffing. |

I'm sick as a dog.
|
Doing my PhD research (with no structure whatsoever, other than what I create for myself... a laughable concept) has been kicking my ass for the last 5+ months. Only because it's so hard for me to care about doing it. I've almost grown callous to it, which would be a very bad thing. Nobody wants a calloused ass, especially when a degree depends on it. :p
|
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'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. |

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. |

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.

Everything else will require you to specialize in post grad: BSc Life Sciences: Med School BAHnrs: Name it: Law maybe |

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. |
