The Complaining and Bitching Thread

So, I have this semi-friend from my nursing class, young girl, nice enough. We've been facebook friends for about a month or so. And she's a selfie-girl. And not just your regular 'hey look I'm at the bar with my friends' type selfies, but 'oh look, I'm posing in a bikini giving you model face' selfies. Almost every day - it's more than a little strange. Over the summer, one of the girls in my clinical group said she had to block her from her instagram feed because it was 'just too creepy.' I'm starting to understand what she meant by that. Yikes.

 

There's a certain age group for whom Facebook and Instagram have become monuments to narcissism. Gets old very quickly.

 

My niece does that and posts them to Facebook.
She has the most plastic smile in them.
I'm not sure who told her that was attractive, but I cringe every time I see any new pics from her.

 

Definitely just pulled a 21 hour workday. Sleep time is now.

 

Waiting for someone to call me so I can interview them. I offered to call her, but she said she would call me after her conference call. I'm assuming that call has run over because she was supposed to call me 20 minutes ago. No big deal. I don't have anywhere to be. I want to leave my office though because the lab next door is being renovated and it's LOUD.

 

I'm actually quite proud of young ZombieSquirrel. She was a journalism major, but knew not to seek work with a newspaper, magazine or publisher. She went the marketing and PR route instead. A totally different style of writing, but more effective. I'm employed and when I get my MBA in marketing, I will be quite the prize.

I came here to complain about feeling nauseous. I haven't been nauseous my entire pregnancy, so this is interesting.

 

Sorry. Baby Daddy has already claimed me if I get a 6 figure salary someday.

You can still do it.

 

2013 is now officially a shitty year in my books. Aging parents have had a total of 7 falls between them with 5 visits to various ERs. Caring for one of them is straining my wife to the breaking point. Now my daughter has injured her spine. We keep wondering when we'll ever get a break this year. This just sucks....

 

The fetus and I are hungry. Waiting for Baby Daddy to get off of work so we can go to dinner, but that won't happen for another 45 minutes.

 

Left my client in FL today. About 5 miles later I heard a clunk. Then a few miles after that I reached for my iphone. Then I realized the clunk was my phone tumbling off the roof of the rental. Turned around and found it in the middle of the highway. Shattered screen but it works. Damn it, not even a year old. Have insurance but it still will be costly.

 

Just did a google search for this instagram and even read about it on Wikipedia. Sounds less useful than tits on a bull to me personally. Who seriously wants to see my face on a social media site? I can use the GIMP or Photoshop and filter/layer mask/edit away if I want to share any pictures online, and do not even have or want one of those smart phones in the first place.
Anywho, pardon my rambling. I am still waiting for a new phone with a black and white screen and no facebook/twitter/etc personally, I would buy that so quickly if it still had most of the features that my Samsung Intensity II does.

edit: is Instagram one of those sites that those Foodies people use to share pictures of food that is "too pretty to eat"?

 

Holy FSM, running on asphalt sucks.
My hip joints were fine for the first 20m doing 1m intervals on a trail...
the last 10m on asphalt felt like there was glass in my joints. Yuck.

 

My wife did the same thing. Bachelor of Journalism but when she graduated drifted into PR and Marketing (or as we call it, The Dark Side). She later gave that up and went into teaching. She's much happier as a teacher.

 

I've had problems with my internet connection ever since we moved in here. The cable guys have been out here over and over and over and tell me that nothing is wrong. Some days would be ok. Others it would drop me every 15 minutes or so. Really frustrating. I finally had a guy here yesterday who bothered to take the wall plate off and look and see if something was going on with the actual line running into my apartment. There were two things: There was a splitter on the line for cable service (I don't have cable) and he said that could possibly weaken my signal. Then he pulled the the line out a little further and it was crimped - like a bobby pin. Yeah, fixed that and it's been running perfectly ever since.
