Bugging me today

[Muddled]

1. Text speak. Ugh. Unless you are going through M and N to get to O, the word is YOU, not U. I assume if you have access to Facebook, you also have access to a keyboard, so get on it.

2. I can't talk about this marathon anymore. I disagree, but the decision has been made and my opinion and the opinion of most of the city clearly doesn't matter.

3. Our refugee pulled that "not voting" bullshit last night. 8-D


What's bugging you?

[bullygirl979]

Text speak makes me irate. Seriously, you can't take 2 extra seconds to type "your" rather than "ur"? It is 2 extra letters, FFS!

My friend. She has been single for a long time and while I feel for her, she is starting to get a little ridiculous and lashes out a bit. Kind of like "Oh, I am going to die alone. But *YOU* wouldn't understand because *YOU* have dates."

My co-worker is being *really* loud today. As this doesn't normally bug me, methinks I might just be a touch tired and hence being a little bitchy.

GAS LINES!!!!!

Why in name of God do we have shortages of fuel for our cars?

Okay, so some of the gas stations have no power and because of that they cannot pump gas...

but why is there NO fuel deliveries to the stations WITH gas???

The ports are closed? Why are the ports closed?

And it seems this gas shortage does not affect commercial flights. Why is there plenty for them but none for us???

At a gas station in town -- this one's right on the highway, people are queueing up so far and so thickly that it's not only impeding traffic in the lane, there are now 3 cop cars there to mantain order!

I now have half a tank worth of gas. What the eff am I supposed to do? start staking out a gas station NOW, so I can get tanked up by T-Day?

Something is funky here. Why the gas shortage?

1. The fact that my costume looks AWESOME in person, but because Coworker BFF sent out the crappy pic she took with her crappy camera phone (while everyone else's pic is awesome)... I'm going to lose.

2. Red lipstick gets on EVERYTHING.

3. I can't figure out if the trains I need are running to GCT tomorrow! Blech!

I can answer this. They will have to drive it in on trucks as the refineries on the coast are still shut down. But they will only be able to do this when more roads become passable. The commercial carriers in your areas have probably sustained a lot of damage, so there may not be the usual fleet available to bring fuel and they need to rally the troops but given the wide swath of damage that will take time.

Beyond that, the refineries that were in the path of Sandy may or may not still be underwater. Even if the water has receded, there is water in the tanks now which will make the fuel in them unusable or at the very least really inefficient.

It's going to get better, but it will take time--they gotta get the trucks there and make sure they have sources.

For mine:

Still have not heard from the rep that is "researching" what is going on with the shipment we expected today. I don't know what they need to research, I gave you the information you needed (that was deleted from the shipping label) now put it on a truck and get it over here--even Monday is fine but don't give me this "it's scheduled for tomorrow" BS.

Follow up to #3: We're going to leave out of Southeast (instead of our town's train station) now. YAY! I prefer Southeast anyway... I'm more comfortable there. I know that train station like the back of my hand (and you don't have to transfer anywhere)

I've had my period for 2 wks now and it's getting heavier instead of lighter. I think I need to call the doctor. My IUD is almost 5 yrs old, so that might have something to do with it.

The day is going slow.

I'm really broke and it's still another week until payday.

FI has been working 11-12 hr days for about 2 mos now and it's really wearing on us. I hardly talk to him anymore because he gets home around 6:30, we eat dinner and then he dozes off on the couch. He's cranky which means I've been cranky back to him. Weekends are stressful because he tries to catch-up on what he doesn't get done during the week and then THAT makes him even crankier. I hate his job.

Also, I have really wide feet that hurt and I can't find cute shoes that fit me. I was a shoe whore in my previously skinny feet life.

I'm tired and I want to go to sleep. Instead I'm at work.

1. My MIL. Our relationship with G's parents is rapidly going downhill (again) and I'm not looking forward to repeating the hell that took place 9 years ago. Why can't she just be a nice person and not an angry beast?

2. How is it not 5:30 yet? Today is dragging it needs to shape up and get moving because I'm ready to leave

3. I want to go ice skating tonight (for the first time in 10ish years), but can't find anyone to go with me and G has a work F1 racing thing tonight.

I wish I had enough vacation time to have stayed home today. I feel horrible.

[motzie]

I have a bruised tailbone. Not fun.

There is snow in the forecast for this weekend. I'm not ready for snow, not even a little bit.

Yeah, I heard this too. It makes me stabby.

[starrieskies]

I'm cold. I know it's not that cold outside, but I'm cold. I am making bread and applesauce trying to warm the house up. I should just make a fire, but then I'll be too hot and it seems like an awful waste of wood...

I'm just annoyed that the stupid direct tv people can't narrow an appointment window down more than 4 hours. There is soooo much I could be out doing right now, but I'm stuck at home waiting for dude to show up. He'd better be cute...

My MIL was kind enough to get some half and half for me when she was at the store. She got Fat Free

I didn't have coffee this morning, and am trying to have some now and it tastes like shit.

And I feel assy because people in nj and ny can't even drink coffee.

I bet soldiers would enjoy fat free half-and-half too!!!

Jerk!

[pinkplasticdoll]

1) I hate when people "axe" a question.

2) I have had a headache for the past 3 days and it is in a weird spot that feels like my brain is rattling around hitting my cranial bones. I am pretty sure I am dying

[tmonoxide]

I wish people would shaddup shaddup shaddup with the shitty comments about the Marathon runners.

It's CANCELLED.

Ya happy?

The way I see it: it was something to keep us positive and looking forward.

I don't know what factors got into the mix but it's cancelled.

[housegeek]

Lol imoan.

Tmon, it was probably the fact NYC is in shambles.

Continuing with the marathon would have diverted the emergency personnel from the relief effort -- you know, like possibly having more people available to assist in getting fuel to the gas stations for those who are complaining about the shortages, among other things, like food and water and getting the electricity back up -- to the marathon, regardless of what nonsense Bloomberg and others are spewing. That's just common sense.

But evidently a warm cockle is more important than a full belly and a warm house and being able to drive anywhere for some people. Depends on what day it is, I guess.
