"Poor me!" thread

[Scheherazade]

Tell us why you are the unluckiest person in the whole wide world

at this specific moment in time!

Why, oh, why?

Tomorrow is Monday; I need to prepare the lesson plans, carry the laptops to three different community centres in three different towns throughout the week, prepare the group packs for the College as required and start worrying about my assignment on the side.

:svengo:

[papayahed]

I lost my flash drive and have to do my presentation from scratch, which I need to have ready by tomorrow at 12:30 pm.

[LitNetIsGreat]

Great thread idea!

1 Got a little cold coming on I think.
2 Work tomorrow.
3 Nearly time for bed.

[Delta40]

got to talk to people about tax all day

[Emil Miller]

Poor me, tomorrow I have to awaken at the point where sleep is no longer an option and, once awoken, must decide whether to switch on the computer or sit at the piano to continue learning Handel's Largo; either way, it willl involve long hours of enjoyment. I have said it before but it cannot be repeated often enough, work is the curse of the drinking classes.

[Hurricane]

I can't go to bed until midnight because of the amount of work I have to do, but also have to be awake from 0230 to 0430 and then get up at 0530 to work out. Then I have class, doctor's appointments and rehearsal all day until 6:30 PM. Sleeping in class or missing class are not options.

It's going to be a caffeine heavy day.

That sucks.

[Revolte]

I have no job, I live in the middle of nowhere, which I would love if all my friends haven't left out of town, or even to mexico to spend their lives. I messed up this school semester and wasn't even able to get in, it's now been a couple years and I haven't gone back to class, never really did drop out, just stopped going. I've got no money but I'm trying to save up to leave to vegas and bum it, going nomadic for a while, but im supposed to be playing shows with some touring bands later on when they get to cali. I have NO insurance what so ever and my fillings have all come out leaving my teeth looking horrid, which I don't really care about in all honesty, but they feel irritable and that is no fun. The closest people to me either live hours away, or in other states, including ALL the supporters of my music, but again I have no money. My guitar strings are about dead now but I can't afford to get new strings, it's ten bucks of gas just to get to the music store and I can't bike ride the entire way I live too far from town. I think I'm getting a cold.

[Shalot]

I have chronic heartburn and IBS. :) I put a smiley face there because there's not a lot I can do about it. so you might as well smile.

[Virgil]

Yikes. I feel bad for all of you. Whatever I was going to post is insignificant compared to you guys above. [Except for Neely - you possibly have a cold coming on? - that's it? :lol:] I hope you guys make it through ok. :)

[Silas Thorne]

It's going to rain outside. It's warm here in my house, but still I feel terrible about all these people that might be in the rain that's about to fall. Still, it's warm in the house. I think I'll have another cup of tea. Unfortunately I have run out of coffee, but I can still have another hot cup of tea while I think about all these people out in the cold and the rain.Still, it's good to be in a warm house and a hot cup of tea. It's terrible to be without coffee though.

Brian Bean is a legand.:nod:

Every day I wake up and mutter to the wind that there has to be a better way...

Afraid not Neely. I spent decades waiting until I could walk away from it all and start really living, i.e doing what I wanted to rather than what I had to.
Here is a little verse which neatly sums it up:

My friend, these things that do attain
The happy life be these, I find
The riches left, not got with pain
The fruitful ground, the quiet mind.

Henry Howard,
Earl of Surrey 1517-1547

[Niamh]

I twisted my knee over a week ago and it was a knee i tore ligaments in ten years ago so it still hurts like hell, I also possibly have whiplash caused by really bad turbulence (plane dropped and then bounced.) which has me crippled with pain, havent really slept in days because every mm i turn causes pain to shoot through my back and neck, Heat treatment not working, pain killers not working and i had to go to work the ladt three days like this. my IBS has flared up and oh... its that time of the month.
all in all i'm feeling rather peachy. :(

[papayahed]

I have a headache and I don't feel like changing shoes.

[oshima]

Got a lot of assignments to finish, but I'm actually looking forward to working on them. I'm 25 years old and working on a Bachelor's degree, and I work part time, which when I think about it in that sense can be depressing (like, am I actually ever gonna DO something? yeah.) but then again I love school and my job is nice, so...meh, I'm okay (though not as okay as Bean seems to be).

[Pensive]

I am visiting litnet after quite a long time and there are so many unread posts that I am very eager to go through yet I can't because the burden of assignments and the fact that our government can't do anything to handle loadshedding and that electricity should go out soon is stopping me from doing something I have been missing since ages! Even when I am almost near it. How unlucky! :(

[Scheherazade]

Tonight marks the beginning of a 10-day break for me...


Why isn't the half term longer????

[zoolane]

Tell me about it. I have entertain 3 children. I hope weather not to cold.

Pah, that's twice as long as mine - double sympathy my way. :bawling:

What is this thing you call a 'break'? I seem to have heard of something like that, but it's been so long that I've quite forgotten what one is...

[Scheherazade]

Pah, that's twice as long as mine - double sympathy my way. :bawling:How so? Are you not off Mon-Fri? Including the weekends, that makes nine days.
What is this thing you call a 'break'? I seem to have heard of something like that, but it's been so long that I've quite forgotten what one is...Oh, nothing really... Just a little breather we "school teachers" are entitled to... But never long enough, you see! :svengo:

Shame you don't teach at a College, Loka!

[LitNetIsGreat]

Oh I suppose so, I never usually take the weekends into account though, you know half empty and all of that...

[Lokasenna]

It may happen yet! If the whole 'being a professional academic' thing doesn't work out, I'd be quite happy teaching English at either college or high school level.

[Scheherazade]

Back to work today...

:leaving:

[DANSBIRD]

I've lost the last 2 games on Words With Friends (Scrabble on the iPhone)

[clguerra]

I had to take my computer to get fixed, but first I copied all my class notes on a flash drive and now I can't find it

[jajdude]

I have no job, I live in the middle of nowhere, I have no money.

Same here. Came back to Canada 7 months ago, broke. Been staying at brother's house in suburbia. Want to go back to Asia. Was better off there. Need to line up a job over there and get there somehow. Need to ask people for money to do anything. Too many regrets. Need to get a life.

[papayahed]

I just sat through a presentation by a local energy company.

[Mortis Anarchy]

I have messy & loud roommates :boxing_smiley: and my midterms have taken up an entire month.

College.

[Helga]

I am sick

[The Comedian]

My fantasy football team is no good! They stink! I'm in this league so that I can gloat of my total domination over my pathetic, sniveling friends. . . .that's the point -- that I rule and they stink. But I'm having a difficult time proving this fact when my team is just so, so, so. . . . bad.

Poor me!

[Revolte]

my booking agent is bugging me because I haven't sold any tickets yet for an upcoming show of mine, but it's not my fault that 1. I'm still an unknown artist and 2. people have to pay bills and cant afford crap. I guess it's alright if I get knocked off the bill 'cause I have a free show a week before that one, but would be nice to play a couple times in a week, I do enjoy it.

[Nightshade]

My flat mate has invited the guy I HATE ( and it is rare for me to HATE someone) from work for dinner.... she HATES him even more than me so I cant figure out what the hell is going on...

[Revolte]

last night I was out with my friend who I have known for nearly 7 years, lived with the guy and everything. Then he offers me a bunch of vegetables (I'm vegetarian) then later in the night someone offers me a hamburger and I turn it down of course, till the guy tells me, in a pretty rude way, that the vegetables he gave me earlier where cooked in meat juices, needless to say I'm pretty ticked off.

[Scheherazade]

Last week, I could go to work only for two days because of the snow (school closures).

[kasie]

I take it we are supposed to read this with heavy irony? :D

Or do you not get paid unless you actually set foot on the premises? In which case, commiserations.

[Scheherazade]

I take it we are supposed to read this with heavy irony? :D

Or do you not get paid unless you actually set foot on the premises? In which case, commiserations.The College adds the missed days to the calendar later in the year so nothing is lost either way, really, but it is always stay at home when it is snowy days to be able to go for walks freely! :D


And I have to go back to work tomorrow after working two days in the past 10 days!

(Please read this without any irony! :smilewinkgrin:)

[SilentMute]

Among other gifts, I got the gift that humanity never has a problem sharing...and is a gift that keeps giving--the Christmas cold! Actually, it is the stomach flu. It is a weird flu. I don't actually feel that bad. I have a low fever at times. My sinuses are the worst thing. I get indigestion. No nausea, but every night I throw up. I can eat anything during the day with no problem. I was hoping to have a few good days before January 8. I have an orientation that day. They want to do two TB screens. Benadryl will keep the worst reactions at bay, but I still get sick from the screenings. I was going to avoid any place that demanded them, but they are all demanding them now. They claim it is because the immigrants have tuberculosis. Of course, the immigrants will test positive for TB even if they don't have it--since I think the vaccine makes you test positive. I don't know why they didn't stick with chest x-rays. There are no false positives with x-rays, I don't think. Most people can't even do this other test correctly--and if they don't do it right, a negative result is meaningless. Anyway, I expect to be sick for most of January because of these tests--and I was hoping I would have time to do some things before then. But now I have this flu...:mad5:

[faithosaurus]

Ack! Influenza definitely sucks. Lots of people seem to be getting it (like me). I'm still sick, and I haven't been able to eat anything (at least keep it down) since Christmas day.

[Scheherazade]

Hope both of you feel better soon, Silent and Faith.


As for me... I am quite saddened... The first week of my holiday's gone by so quickly, meaning I have got only two weeks left now...

[papayahed]

ohh the humanity!!

I spent the day at my cousins house. I'm allergic to dogs and she has three. They are so darn cute I couldn't help but play with them and now I'm paying the price.

Shazzarazza! I'm shocked and startled! You're saying the glass is two thirds full you're and wishing you could have it full rather than slowly empty?

You need it to slowly empty so you can appreciate the finer details of the wine - a little like a metaphor for life itself, yes?

Chin up!
