Things that are currently annoying you

Broken phone.

Man, you don't even realize how many tasks depend on your tiny pocket computer to do efficiently until you can't get the damn thing to stay powered on.

 

aaaaaaaaaaaaugh

took a sweet summer job to give my moirail a break. plan was that she'd get the job back in the fall since i'm going to grad school. find out that organization that offers the job is only giving it to the summer person - or else they distribute the hours between the other summer students and the department we're working for just ... doesn't get someone to work for them during the fall.

ffs bureaucracy WE HAD A GOOD THING GOING

 

The feeling when you're trying too hard to be important to someone when they really don't need/want you in their lives, but you realize that all the things they're complaining about are things you've not even struggled with respecting, but ... you're still trying to hard to be important to someone who just doesn't care ...

Also, money. Money is stupid. Money makes people do stupid things and yet we can't live without it, ever. Ugh, money.

Spoiler: Ugh

Also, cancer. Cancer is stupid. Cancer is pointless. Cancer is being prescribed a 'maintenance chemo' that you will be on "for the rest of your life, whether that's one year or fifty years", and if those meds don't change anything in one month then you're on a 6-week round of IV chemo, and if that doesn't change anything then you're dead. COOLIO.

 

I started 3d printing a model at 50% scale and then forgot and printed the rest of the parts at full scale. I put it together and it had teeny little legs. At least I noticed before the glue dried; I guess I'll have a full scale and a half scale when I finish them both.

1st world problems!

 

Kitty. I love you. I am very glad you're comfortable enough with people to just wander up and lay on me! The cuddles are nice!

Please get your happy kneading claws out of my boob.

 

A combo of amusing/annoying: I accidentally spoiled the ending of a book for myself, not by reading what the ending was, but by finding out there was a plot twist that "[I'd] never guess." That was enough for me to guess what the ending was.

 

The feeling of simultaneously knowing exactly what you want to write and having no idea what you want to write.

 

Tabletop gaming drama. *deep calming breaths*

 

I have a huge pimple slightly below the bridge of my nose and a slightly runny nose, so wipe my nose is hell, touching my nose is hell, and I can't do anything about the pain until it gets a head. It's just a large red lump of misery and I haaaaaaaaaaate it.

 

@missoyashirou try menthol rub, steroid cream, or even minty toothpaste! I find those can be super useful for helping a pimple along to the point where it's ready to pop :)

 

small children hammering on the doorbell incessantly, probably because their ball is in our yard again

I think Dad humored them once, so now they keep coming around

 

Brain. Can we not do the "spontaneous 10pm restlessness" again. I would like more than 5 hours of sleep tonight, kthnx.

 

... the realization that I am forever apologizing for my beliefs - conservative Christian beliefs - even though I am one of the least judgemental and most open-minded/accepting people I know. I feel like I'm automatically assumed to be some freaky narrow-minded capital-ASS Christian, which is NOT THE CASE.

On the flipside? The people who believe things other than me don't feel the need to apologize for their beliefs, but a good few of them jump down my throat for mine unless I apologize for them / disclaimer them / explain the shit out of a simple sentence by reminding them I'm not a homophobic bigoted asshole. I AM NOT A TERRIBLE PERSON JUST BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE SAME GOD THAT FUCKING WESTBORO BAPTIST DOES. Harrrrrumph.

Spoiler: shh.

... I'm also really proud of my little sibling for coming out as non-binary, but sometimes it'd be nice if they realized the effort I'm putting forth as well, but I'm barely on the radar. I'm also closeted non-binary, but that's beside the point -.-

 

Coworker and i stayed basically 3.5 hours late at work

work got done but god whyyyyyyyy

 

My churny gut :(

 

Yeah.... I have that with the Downpour LP (although Matt throwing the axe is still funny).

 

Spoiler: Churny gut continued

my farts right now are terrible and might make it harder to sleep, on top of the hyper tired energy and the way i keep thinking there's bugs on me ugh iugh ughhhhh

 

spreading false information because of shitty reading comprehension

whyyyyyyyy

 

I'd like to say tumblr, but it has been a thing since writing was invented.

 

I somehow got a tiny pricker in the ball of my thumb, and apparently needlenose pliers aren't actually a replacement for tweezers (which I've either lost or never had) :T and doing pretty much anything with my dominant hand involves jostling the pointy bit. Why this.
