Things that are currently annoying you

Oh it's definitely no! I didn't doubt that, but someone reblogged it and asked for a fact check and I can never resist proving people thoroughly wrong on the internet. I wrote about it and posted the sources on Tumblr if you really want to hear a lot about it. The tabloids had a field day, because what if lesbians could have babies together? Oh noes! Straight marriage is doomed, obviously, and nobody will have any further use for men.

It was mostly one Iranian guy who dedicated his career to trying to make this happen. He's apparently still at it too, although he seems to be having trouble getting ethics approval.

EDIT: Wait, you weren't talking to me! I'm sorry. I never went to bed.

 

@Mattias I was definitely talking to you! Your second post was just a tiny bit quicker than mine was :P Thanks for the info :)

 

Oh okay whew! I cannot brain right now.

 

I thought I was finally kicking this cold's butt, and now the left side of my throat is hurting again. This had better be over by morning, goddammit.

 

I couldn't sleep at all last night and have been super anxious all morning because of a work thing today, and then BAM! thing is cancelled. I hate everything right now.

 

"Little" brother's birthday was the 16th. (He just turned 17) Haven't seen him in a few years, and that whole side of the family is estranged. Asked him for his Amazon list, but he didn't have one so he said he'd make one and link it. Well he did. It has three items:
$450 laptop
$670 laptop
$930 laptop
Sent him a note back saying "Dude, I love you, but seriously?!"
No response yet. If he plays it off as a joke, fine. If he pulls a "Mom" and says "Well, it has been a while since you've bought me anything..." I am going to flip a fucking table.

$930 fucking alienware laptop I wouldn't treat myself to a $600+ laptop are you fucking serious who even does that. He knows I work retail. Oh, happy birthday to me, let's ask big sis to drop 3-5wks pay on a present heehee!

 

Today was a bad brain day, and has ended with the news that the welfare cuts bill being proposed by my country's government has passed its second reading. There are so many bad things that will happen if it goes through that I don't even know where to start. When the election results came through back in May I spent most of the day crying because I knew shit like this was on the horizon. The Tories don't give a shit about us and they aren't even trying to hide it any more.

Sorry, this turned in to more of a tirade than an annoyance thing :(

 

I ended up taking a nap when I should have made myself lunch for work, despite specifically purchasing new pretty lunch containers and sandwich materials including really good quality cheese and tomatoes for the explicit purpose of remembering to have lunch at work. Now I have 5 hours to go until I can actually eat something, not counting Vending Machine Cheez-Its.

 

I've leveled up from 'anxious while doing a task and being watched' to 'so anxious I can barely do anything when people exist nearby, not even in the same room'. Not great when someone comes home hours earlier than expected, or when everyone's staying home this weekend. X_X

 

This heat is making me gross and sticky.

 

Chronic annoyance: The GIF wars. I don't care how other people choose to pronounce it, but if your argument for why only the hard G is correct is that "graphic" begins with one, I expect to also hear you calling lasers "lass-ears".

 

Shark week is having spontaneous reruns three weeks early. Fuck Nexplanon. Just, fuck it.

And I got up early and showered for work--only to realize I'm off today.

I go swimming on my off days. But I've already showered. I can't swim now, it'll be a wasted shower. UGH.

 

My dad just laughed at me for having word problems, then told me that I am doing it on purpose, apparently! Wow, that is news to me! And when you threw a plate at mom this morning, did you do that on purpose, or did we just make you too frustrated again?

 

My hands are freezing :( I hate it when this happens.

 

Friend: i have a problem, what do?
Me: do x,y,z. Don't do a.
Friend: ok but consider, what if I just DIDNT do those things???? And did A instead???? :D
Me: if you do that bad things will happen. :(
Friend: BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHAT DO?

Like, fine do what you want but dont ask my help, ignore me, and then waste my time complaining that what i just told you would happen actually happened. UGH.

 

I think we've gotten into this weird Please Stop Helping kind of situation with the neighbor lately? He mows our lawn, which he apparently has taken as free reign to do whatever yard work he pleases. So he trimmed the hedges without asking and left the large pile of clippings just on the lawn. And I think he decided to clean it up, after a week of us slowly clearing it away... by shoving the rest into our trash can. Our single trash can, which is now completely full and will have no room for the bags we need to put in for trash day.

I can't confirm that he was the one who did it, but Dad wouldn't do that, for obvious reasons, so?? Plus I now have a post-cleaning bag of trash that I just have to hang onto, because there's no room for it.

 

Currently annoying: I finally got the Kintsugi Minecraft working but then it turns out I'm not whitelisted. HRMMM

 

I just about chopped off part of my thumb while I was chopping veggies... again. Exact same thumb I did this to a few years ago. >.<

 

It's too hot for sleeping, but I have to be up at a reasonable (well, depends on what you call reasonable I suppose) hour tomorrow, so I need to sleep. Too hot is making it a problem though.

 

I feel greasy even tho I showered recently. Bleh.
