Air Your Grievances!

[MinisterJay]

I was upset that it took a blood vessel to pop in the back of my head to see a specialist for a neck injury I had 8 months beforehand. If I had not be admitted into a hospital, I would still be on a waiting list to be put on the waiting list.

Another grievance: I am getting more done with my family care provider than the newly acquired specialist. Got into physical therapy. The specialist's pain management referral has yet, three weeks, to even call to make an appointment.

Being on indefinite medical leave...that has its shortcomings. $$$

I try really hard not to give up on people, but there's always a point at which I know it's best to leave someone be, at least on my end. Sometimes nothing good can come out of persisting with something or someone, and it's better for both parties to go their separate ways.

this is so true! unfortunately, I tried this with someone this year and it didn't work out. it became obvious to me that this person just stopped caring about the friendship, so I decided to move on after trying to repair the friendship for months. it sucks, but it happens. maybe one day we will be friends again, who knows?

I am glad there are always new friends to be made :)

Yeah friends seem to come and go and I guess I pretty much accepted the fact. It's hard to find a permanent one that doesn't change for the worst.

Well me and the CCC are pretty good friends, last time we had drama?

Well, practically never, lol.

Here's a little grievance of mine that I don't know why I have, when people tell me I'm instigating drama when I'm actually trying to get results.

The reason it becomes drama is because people make it a drama. I'm just an impetus with a missive, you wanna make a song and dance about it then how is that my fault?

Some people are so silly!

Some work woes:

A person tweeted a bad thing about a co-worker and the manager made a huge spectacle about it as if we were all guilty. Such a waste of my time. I already agreed not to do that stuff when I was hired. I had a pile of work waiting for me to do and here this person is telling the entire staff as a group not to talk smack about each other on Twitter when only ONE person did it.

So yea, not happy with my manager this year. That person's priorities are terrible and has the worst "training" regime I've ever seen. You messed up? You didn't do the training!! (what training, there was none!) At review time they gave unfair ratings even if the write up was good (my own supervisor got screwed as well). On the paper write up, I'm an hard worker with no noted faults and also a very friendly employee. On the rating scale I am "barely acceptable". Why? No reasons given! RUBBISH I say! My supervisors take on it, "Just accept it, we all got shafted in these reviews.".

I finish my work on time always, and many times ahead of time. I work off my scheduled shift to even help others out. My co workers like me and I help everyone, and yet...oy. Yeah, my major grievance of the year since the (obviously bogus) review killed my advancement opportunities again.

• I don't have a girlfriend.

 

[Macro]

Are you happy otherwise?

• I don't have a girlfriend.

Time to love a video game character! :D

 

[Macro]

It's getting more popular.

It's 2 days before Christmas and I'm too lazy to finish wrapping.


Time to put everything in bags, I guess?

Less mess to clean up! :D

 

[Amysaurus]

Plus I can use all of the leftover tissue paper as ammo when someone inevitably starts throwing it around!

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

I'm actually not shitty about anything currently.

 

[Amysaurus]

It's okay, guys. I don't have a girlfriend either.

My email's telling me I could have like 20 Russian brides by now, though!

 

[Zebestian]

• I don't have a girlfriend.

And I don't know where I put mine. We all got our burdens to bear...

Plastic bags make great wrappers and are practical, too. If you don't want the present you can put it in the bag and throw it away. It's also easier to carry around that way. And most people don't notice the difference any way. Just put a nice bow on it and be done! :D

Oh right... I wanted to complain.
So these last few months were a huge deal for me and the podcast team I'm part of. We had two of our members leave due to... let's call it differing opinions. For over three years we managed to work together nicely but for some reason this year was a complete and utter disaster. The member who left first was under the impression that we had formed an alliance against them because we were envious about their position. We, the "alliance" tried so hard and often to convince them that we weren't jealous but disappointed because they somewhat separated from the team and did their own little thing without telling anyone else about it. The discussion, if you can call it that, went back and forth for about two hours when they then decided to leave the team.
My favourite quote from that evening is "I thought we all were friends". Sorry, but I don't need friends who are always suspicious of me and accuse me of things I didn't say or do.
Oh, and the other member leaving - that's the first member's significant other. And from what I know about them, member one probably forced member two to leave a la "you can't have something I can't have". XD

 

[Bizarre Monkey]

I don't have any grievances towards other people or anything. I have mostly grievances towards myself.
I've been extremely lazy this year and last year. I'm so lazy that i don't even try to shave away my beard anymore.

*growl of envy*
HEY!

At least you get one!

:<

And i always feel down when something just doesn't wanna go right, and believe me... there have been probably over a 100 cases this year where i just fucked up bad.

Hahaha, so you made a mistake or a hundred? Get over it shakespeare! The amount of mistakes you make just means you'll make them less later.

I'm unemployed and am scared of work

Welcome to the club.

Social Life has been... ok i guess, but can you really call it ok if you just talk to Internet people all day? No.

Real friends are overrated. Believe me, this last year I've made a couple, but I'd still rather spend time with my online ones.

My voice is so down, i can't even keep up with what people say and can't react to what they say in time. I'm so slow.

I tried to sing recently but I can't. Shit suuucks. I'm out of breath before the second line.

Playing Video Games all day also doesn't help me.

You can learn a lot from video games!

Going outside? Fuck... if i could i would, but there's just this annoying ass schizophrenia in my way, that just won't go away. I'm scared of people. The laziness doesn't help with it either.

Meh! Outside is overrated. Let those sockjucks with sports T-shirts weather it, you and I got a future on the inside!

Wow that's gonna get quoted out of context...

I just wanna say, thanks to all the people who have been good friends with me and what not... i appreciate it!

Get over it Mr Melancholy! Jeez, if I made a sappy rant like this each time I had a bad day I'd wanna choke myself!

Failures will always happen, it's part of life, the more that happens, the more you'll learn.

There was some famous quote about this by someone I forgot who but basically if you're not making mistakes you are doing something horribly wrong.

To succeed in all schemes is to not sample satisfaction. The thrill of life is succeeding where failure is at the very least possible.
