Also, a very happy belated birthday to you, Cindy. My apologies for not saying something on the day. I was a bit distracted.

Aw, Tep. Sorry to hear about the crap weekend. We can commiserate in Crap Weekendland.

Ooof. Sean, my whines are *nothing* compared to what you and S. are going through. I wish I could do more than just hold you in my thoughts.

So I'm wired, practically vibrating from tension, and I can't calm down. Swell.

Oh, man, I know that feeling so so well. I'm sorry. I hope that you can get through this day without something coming along causing a snap. And, GOD, this stuff with your dad. GOD. I'm sorry.

Problem is, asshat!President's basic feeling is that anyone who doesn't volunteer isn't welcome to be a part of the group.

Obviously, this is the only power potential he has.

((((Teppy))))

No seriously. And when she's said "I don't eat meat," to food service staff, they've actually in the past responded "It's not meat, it's broth."

::facepalm::

I'm not eating meat at the moment. And, yeah. I've had to remind people that broth made with meat? Still not vegetarian-friendly.

Ugh. So sorry.

Geez, Teppy. So wishing I could send Paulie Walnuts to see jerkoff club guy.(You'd get flowers in the end, guaranteed. Paulie can ...facilitate at times like that.)

Sean, my whines are *nothing* compared to what you and S. are going through.

Nah. It's not all that. At least this weeknd wasn't. We've been through much worse.

Ye gods. It's like it's becoming "old hat."

so sorry steph. this is just a bit toomuch.

My fustrations today are 1) I left my cell phone at work, but not sure which work. and I can't do anything about it until tomorrow or possible wednesday.

2) I have errands to run, but in order not to go out twice, I have to wait for another hour.

3) i have a house in need of cleaning. bizzarely, I don't clean very effectively in the am. so nothing is happening in this hour.

4) I just realized what time matt texted my email about his new job. this is leading to mixed emotions.

5none of my annoyances are that big - just a nibbled to death by ducks day.

And, yeah. I've had to remind people that broth made with meat? Still not vegetarian-friendly.

It's like people who aren't veg, close to it or close to someone who is, just don't get it. Like they can't wrap their heads around:

"You mean you really eat nothing but side dishes???? Okay, well if you only eat vegetables, here's a Cobb salad."

they bring her beef or chicken broth every time, despite it saying VEGETARIAN on her chart and her menu card in BIG FRIGGIN' LETTERS

That is so unbelievably irritating, and so sadly typical.

That's it. I'm totally working on a care package for S, including some good-quality veggie boullion. Which hopefully she won't have to use for a very, very long time, but at least she'll have it on hand just in case and won't have to worry about being starved through stupidity.

And when she's said "I don't eat meat," to food service staff, they've actually in the past responded "It's not meat, it's broth."

Not enough @@ in the world.

Actually, there used to be, but it all got used up on Teppy's sphincterhead!President and polyp-filled-colonhead!coworker.

And, gaaaaaah, Tep, your dad! I just want to shake him until his teeth rattle. I wishwishwish you had a sibling close at hand so at least you could share the load, since it looks like your dad is due to change his crazymaking behavior in approximately never.
