Things that make you go... GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! Mk. II

[Mechanic]

Living in the heart of a south coast chav central, sometimes at work listening to a constant, every bleedin' day conversation about fighting, football, shagging birds, drugs and dodgy deals really gets me down sometimes.

If I could somehow capture that arrogance, belligerence and general ignorance, sell it with a nice flashy label on a blue bottle, then maybe I could make my fortune and at last be rid of these absolute idiots permanently from my life.

So todays Gaaaaaah!! is building site wannabe mockney gangster chavs.

Oh, and apparantly  as Im not married with kids and dont go out "on the pull" then I must be gay.

For the want of a better word........ Twats.

moan over now

It's called the King's Shilling and for better or worse, it built an empire.

Being driven into. Whilst stationary. AGAIN.

College at work in tears, asking "why do they let her [the Supervisor] get away with treating people like that?"

Trying to find somewhere to f***ing live within the next 2 weeks.

"Yes we understand the nature of your business and yes accept e-files."

1.4 gig a shot may be a bit much but we did ask first...... Now it's split up re-package and re-send in tiddly little chunks so their tubes won't clog.

I've hardly been back online  72 hours, and I'm already being bombarded with a certain individual's problems.

What's more, she seems to think that it's somehow MY fault.  I log on to facebook, and BOOM!  "Way to, ya know, stick up for me there..."  I mean, I had QUITE LITERALLY JUST LOGGED ON.  How am *I* supposed to know what's been going on?  I explain that.  THEN she wants to know why a certain friend added "So-n-so, who's WAAAAAAAAAAAAY more obnoxious than me, but not me?"

Well, for starters, I dont really think ANYONE can be more obnoxious than you.  Let's just face facts here.  Secondly, I do not control who this person adds or denies.  At least not last time I checked.  My mind control ray died, you see...

THEN my loverly wife finds a MySpaceEmo.co-I mean deviantart post from this same person talking like suicide, cutting, other forms of self harm, blah blah blah, and timestamped about an hour after my wife told her "No, I'll not be reading your fanfic at this time."  Could be coincidence, could be her overreacting (I vote the second-what having know this cat almost 22 years).

So, needless to say, my return to the webernetz was FAR less than plesent...

Oh, and if I take my wife's birthday off from work, I'll get fired.

Cheers,

Today is the 'module assesment' for my Yr 6's in Design Technology.  They are cooking and serving a 3 course meal to 22 adult guests this evening.  This is the culmination of a term's work, and when they are going to be serving the meal, they have to be dressed in a certain way:

Boys: White shirt, black trousers, black bow tie, black socks, polished black shoes.
Girls : White blouse, black knee length skirt, black tights, polished black shoes.

Parents have known about this for weeks, if not months.  Today, I get parents asking if it's alright if their daughter wears a black ra-ra/mini skirt, or a blue skirt, or a blue dress with a white attached top, or black ballet pumps, or a white blouse with embroidery all over it, or black trousers.  I've got boys who've brought patterened waiscoats in, because 'they thought it would be ok, and look cool', none of them have cleaned their shoes, two have come in trainers, one has brought aftershave for them all to wear (they're 11?).

I feel like there's a flock of seagulls pecking at my head at the mo.  I can already see a stiff drink, possibly several, on the horizon, and I swear that this will be the last time I suggest this idea again.  At least the flowers have arrived for the catering manager who's going to be supervising the little buggers in the kitchen.

On a different topic my 84 yr old mum is currently in a residential care home 250 miles away with a cast on her leg (she's also in the early stages of Altzheimer's). She was hating being in hospital and was being very unco-operative so I arranged for her to go into the care home until the cast comes off. She says the home is very nice but clearly is very keen to get home but that is out of the question until the cast is removed. So on Tuesday, after two weeks in the care home, I phoned the fracture clinic at Fairfield General to find out if there was a date for the cast to come off. I rang at 9.30am..again at 12 noon and again at 3.30pm. It rang and rang for several minutes without any answer. Yesterday I tried again..at 10am..at 1.30pm and again at 4pm..nothing.
When I spoke to my mum last night on the phone she said she had a hospital appointment today. I have to double check everything she says as I can no longer take anything she says at face value. I phoned the care home this morning and asked if she had an appointment and was told that the reason no appointment had been made before was because when she was discharged from hospital to go to the care home no one bothered to make a note that she had a cast on her leg! It was by pure fluke that a nurse noticed on her record that no mention was made of the cast on her leg! Talk about the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing!! If it hadn't been spotted who knows how long she may have had to stay in the care home (at a cost of £461 a sodding week!!!) with the cast on??
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

picking up a few projects that need doing by the weekend and having to scrap one because it's not working, then picking up the second.
The second project is modifying a garment, I found in thrift shop, to be worn this weekend. Basically removing a few parts of it and turning the edges down to clean them up, remove buttons, adjust overlap, add snaps, and possibly adjust the collar.

I have no sewing machine and thus am doing it by hand. It's dark shiny fabric with a pattern in it. I'm not going to pretend I can see the thread well. The fabric also appears to fray easily.

I get one part off after picking the seam for half an hour. Then work for another fourty five mins on another seam... only to reach an end I shouldn't have reached. SON OF A $%^&*(! I made a wrong turn and just opened up the entire garment into fluttering rags.

So now I've got to hand stitch it all together. I'm doing a sloppy but tight whip stitch (I think that's what it's called) That should help minimise any chance of fraying while I wear it for a day. I'll get the chance eventually to give a really good seam by machine later this year when I both get a machine and learn to use it.

But in the mean time the thread keeps knotting and taggling and ... GAAAAHHHHH!

My laptop's charger broke. I've managed to jury-rig it just enough that I can surf the net, but that's about it. This is possibly one of the most frustrating things to happen to me in months, perhaps even in years. I rely on this computer. It's my link to sanity, more often than not. And to lose it to something so irksomely small as a frayed wire just driven me mad.

Oh, and it's half past four in the morning and I've only just gotten home from work. That never helps.

My Gaaaah = all things adobe.

It may well appear that I need to purchase the adobe kracken in order to print a pdf/x-1 file. ( mere $700 to print A FILE)
stupid LSI
stupid adobe

[AlegrahEredschtadt]

Exes ruining my day by blaming their change of personality on me.

[Lady Ava]

Dealing with the sudden pyshical effects of Post Traumatic Stress. Made me shaky, sleepy, angsty and makes my stomach pulse.

[darkshines]

Oh Ava, I feel your pain....

[Lady Ava]

I spend all my days putting a brave face on it, but I am actually far from alright. The stomach thing freaks me out, I can't stop shaking whish makes everything near impossible and all I wanna do is cry. This sucks.

[darkshines]

My biggest and worst attack lasted just over two weeks, so believe me, I know. The best advice I found is to try and breath from you tummy rather than your chest! From the diaphagm, under your ribcage. Also if you have something that is triggering it, like a horrible memory, whenever you start thinking about it, think of something lovely, or silly. If you find yourself alone, watch a childs movie or go outside amoungst other people. Anything that is the opposite of the situation you are in! Please PM me, dear......

I'm sure you could always... umm... "locate" this on a certain website, beginning with "i" and ending in "sohunt"....
Just run it through a virus scan first.

I'm really sorry to hear it, Ava... Good luck, and I hope everything turns out OK for you. Let us know how you are.

Ohhhhhh yes. A splendid notion.  (dusts off the mighty sandbox computer reserved for "certain activities")

in the meantime ... I found Callas toolbox from Germany.  Yeah Germany.  freeish 'till May ... just enough time to burn those pesky pdfs and get them to the printer.


Zen to Miss Ava.

Being told that just because someone else doesn't feel anything about a particular event in -my- life, it means I shouldn't feel anything either.

I haven't been this infuriated in months.

Oh do I understand that feeling all too well. You've my empathy..

Today was a giant gah. -.- But to save indelicacy, I shan't go into detail.

Delivery drivers!  Two in particular are walking GAAAH-o-matics: the Fat Creepy Crystal Meth Guy (stands around making lewd comments about female staff)  and the Sweaty Bad Attitude Guy (supplier just shrugs, saying he's a union member and thus can't get rid of him).  The One-Eyed Reggae Bass Player is actually pretty cool, and the Chronically Confused El Salvadoran is such a happy cheerful fellow that no-one terribly minds that in 3 years he has yet to speak a comprehensible English sentence or deliver an order to the right location.  Today the whole zoo shows up at once.  GAAAAAAAAAHH!!!

[Xenos]

Broken pinkey.  Makes it a deuce to type.  Well, not so much broken as two fractured knuckels.  So, for the next 2-6 weeks, if my typing is worse (than normal), sorry!!!

On the bright side, since my daughter LOVES (and I mean LOVES) her some popsicles, I'm good to go.  Doc said keep it immobile, and no sense in charging me for a cast for a minor fracture/crack whatever.

Still, pisses me off.

[crookedfingers]

Woke up this morning to find an a*****le message in my inbox. I posted my reply on my facebook wall, complete with a village idiot tag. Gahh!
http://www.facebook.com/#!/Ali.Krysta

It's probably best to mention, Iv'e had a lot of supportive messages from friends since I posted it.

[ForestB]

It's a minor Gahhhh, but this commercial for Gain detergent, where they say "gooder" ..... That is NOT a word, or proper grammar, and it's in a TV commercial!!

[Tyrant Seabear]

Crookedfingers, another Grimbarian? (Hijacking)

As for GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!

A multitude of potential life plans all colliding with one another. This should be a good thing, having so many options,
but it feels more like I'm being railroaded :/

Like on the Green Flag advert over here, the Ant says 'and by Jingo!'
As far as I know, Jingo means Rumours of War. 0_0

Crookedfingers, another Grimbarian? (Hijacking)

Yup, another Grimbarian right here

[Augustus Longeye]

My ex of nearly two years deciding that even though she decided it was a good idea to;
A) Get pregnant
B) Get engaged
C) Do it all whilst still going out with me and not telling me
She now want's to get back together despite me repeatedly telling her that there is not a chance in hell I'm breaking up with my girlfriend for ANY reason and there is not a chance in hell of me EVER getting back together with her regardless!
SHE STILL HASN'T GOT IT INTO HER HEAD YET!! GAH!
Also, for some reason she keeps telling people who used to me mutual friends we're going out again... They were nice and told me, and none of them believe her, but why?!? Gah...
~Longeye~
