The Complaining and Bitching Thread

I've been doing it all today, like a regular sinus slut. I've done Claritin, Flonase, Afrin, acetaminophen, naproxen, Benadryl and Bonine, all today. The headache and dizziness finally faded about 2-3 hours ago.

Now where's my hug? I sit by my window, gazing wistfully at the silvery moon, awaiting the tender embrace of my dearest snowy.

Shit, I sound like the bastard child of Shakespeare and Hallmark.

 

This is self-inflicted but still fits in this thread enough I suppose. I have too many damn email addresses. Had to look up the licensing key for a piece of software and and between my own .com/.net and yahoo one (didn't even think to check my fastmail one which fortunately was not in the loop for this) it took me way too long to find it.
Fortunately Yahoo's policy of archiving every email sent or received since 1913 worked in my favour this time.

 

I get so fucking worn out being around someone with an inexhaustible capacity for complaining.

Especially when it's compulsively driven and involves the same stuff day after day.

Dear God, do I need a break.....

 

My current headache.

 

The average layperson will never understand what scientists must sometimes deal with in the name of advancing human knowledge.

Godspeed, GeneticShift.

 

Sorry.

I need to Just. Shut. Up.

 

I seriously hope you're joking, SP, cause it has nothing to do with anyone here. That'd be too easy; at least my laptop has an off switch....

 

I'm currently at 27 flights for the year. When my management technique of if-I-have-to-manage-you-I'm-going-to-manage-you-out-the-door finally paid off with the assistant that screwed things up so badly in October happened, I committed to slowing down travel in the 2nd quarter. So with the trips that are currently scheduled on the board (through the end of May), I'm at 41.

Fuck.

Maybe if I'm extremely lucky and play my cards exactly right, that thing in July that has a 5% chance of happening will actually happen.

 

Good lord, some people can even make vaginas boring!!

 

Agggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh I need to explode at someone! Need to whine so this seems the place. CUSS SWEAR GRRRRRR My house plans are no more cuss swear feck windmills neighbours grrrr can I cry now.......................

Neighbours followed the law and planning guidelines n got a planet saving windmill to generate their own electricity and save some money installed it fast and told no-one to enable them to get extra money from the government. Now their windmill creates a 300m arc onto my land and creates a sterile zone.........................just got quotes for my shed and house was going to build shed this summer n house next.............................. 15 years ago I started my dream, moving loose stones, putting in sticks to mark the driveway, building 'towers' of stones to represent the corners and doorways of my house. Also ditched certain aspects and planted trees, got a garden fence, flowers channel for septic tank. Now it can never be due to the greed of my neighbours............ Such normally kind considerate friendly folks, they appear to be upset now understanding the impact of their decision. If they had considered us the windmill could have been put in a different location, even on my land higher up - would have brought them more benefit as its windier and I could have my house.........................

Feel numb - its only a home I tell myself, not even a home really but I feel robbed, stolen dreams, emotion I don't know what to do with it, so unexpected, Why, why why.

 

I've grown accustomed to being the guy that gets moved into a position to fix things. Nothing official, I just tend to get known as a good organizer, and then moved into troubled sections to help fix them up. It's frustrating sometimes, but ultimately fulfilling.

But now I'm in a troubled section, and in no position to fix anything, and it's incredibly frustrating. My boss is newly promoted because the last boss got relieved for misconduct. He's a great guy, but it's becoming more and more apparent that he has no idea what he's doing in this leadership role. Normally, I could deal with that, subtly mentor him and support him until he gets the swing of things. But I'm completely new to this field, and next to clueless about what I'm doing. He's the one that's supposed to be training me, not the other way around.

So I have to figure out a plan to teach myself this job, help him at least fake like he knows what he's doing to keep upper management off our backs, and turn our currently failing center into a success. (because it should be)

Fuck.
