Ever get this thought about some of the people you come across in your day to day life? Sheesh.

Time for a grumble.

  1. The amount of time it takes to get to work significantly increases and the quality of people’s driving significantly decreases the second the schools go back.

  2. I can’t use my Lisa until next Feb but I want to start the house buying process >:( feeling like I’m in the hurry up and wait stage bleghhh. At least it gives me some time to get my bank acct transactions looking really good (way too make coffees out on there ATM)

    Also I currently have a dilemma between choosing which hockey club to join for the upcoming season, I think my options are comfortable but easy and not necessarily a huge amount of improvement or less easy but I will definitely improve over the course of season and will be more satisfied at the end. We’ll see.

  3. Dog keeps waking us up at 3am by barking and it sets the other one off. He’s a little fluff ball of anxiety so he’s started sleeping on the bed with us. Cba to fight it anymore cause I’m so darn tired.

  4. Been taking codeine for the kidney stone pain and drinking lots of extra water to try and flush the bastard out. Means I’m up every hour at night and often every half hour during the day to go and pee.

    I have a two and a half hour meeting today. This is not going to be fun.

  5. I have a couple.

    1. I had a filling done on Monday, and during it the dentist had the radio on, and it was set to Radio 2. They played Sweet Like Chocolate by Shanks and Bigfoot, which is exactly why I needed a filling in the first place.

    2. The new placement students started this week. At lunch one of them said “I don’t really use Facebook, I have to get my mum to help me with it”. She didn’t know it but she made half of the table feel old.

  6. The agency rang to see if I could do a shift tomorrow. “Afraid not, I’m having a new arse fitted and I’ll be away for six weeks.”
    “Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot to look at the calendar”.

    FFS.

  7. Off to the parents in law for the weekend tonight. Working tomorrow. I don’t mind it that much but I do hate squatting to use their shower in the tub like an animal because there’s no curtain.

  8. My usual Thursday complaint…one Thursday to go until my holiday

    But my real complaint is the rain, it keeps waking me up and ruining my sleep

  9. A beautiful, vivid orange sunrise was swiftly greyed over by a heavy downpour.
    Fuck autumn.

  10. I’m getting my roof refelted this week and of course it literally stormed yesterday and today it’s already hammering it down. I know the roofer knows what he’s doing but god I’m sick of stressing about it. I can’t wait for it to be done and to start nursing the wounds of funding it.

  11. My daughter goes back to school tomorrow, so set an alarm for 06:45 to practice getting up on time. I work from home, so my alarm is set for 07.45. I’ve lost the last hour of what was going to be my last later wake up time.
    Also recovering from covid and still everything tastes weird.

  12. Last Saturday the window winder failed in the car while I was on the motorway, so it gradually opens by itself. Just in time for the rain.

    Since then I’ve managed to tape it up and wedge it at the bottom, but I can’t get it seen to for a couple of weeks. What’s even more annoying is that I have spare window regulators, but they’re for an older edition of the car and so don’t fit.

  13. None really.

    Up early to make a huge cottage pie filling to freeze in batches. Even diced a swede to mix in with potato when I come to do the mash into future.

    Having our existing old leaking wooden lean-to porch dismantled today, then the building arrives on Monday to smash up all of the concrete base and start putting our extension together. Taken a few years to get to this point so we’re both excited and yet exhausted from it all.

  14. Yesterday went too well, so my brain has been plaguing me with what ifs, and I barely slept

  15. Off to the office today, so time to deal with the backstabbers, shitty politics and toxic work atmosphere that contributed to me ending up in hospital 3 months ago. 🙄

    Still, I like working marginally more than being homeless. So I to the office I go!

  16. Got a speeding ticket on the M6 due to variable speed limits.

    I can’t complain about getting the ticket really, because I was going 63mph when it changed to 50mph, but the speed camera was at the exact spot the speed changed.

    It’s my fault for not paying enough attention to the variable speed limits as I was just cruising at night, but by the time I noticed it coming up, not only did it drop down to 50 but I was also in a lane that was closing, so I moved over and slowly started slowing down, but if I’d have known there was a speed camera literally right as the speed changed, I would have hit the brakes harder.

    At least I only have to pay and do the course instead of getting points, so that’s something. Also just wish the cost of the course wasn’t pretty much exactly the same as the fine would be.

    The thing that annoys me the most though, was that by the time the lanes opened back up and the speed limit went back to normal, there was literally no roadworks on those lanes or traffic at all as it was 22:00.

  17. I had a very vivid dream in which I was back at school but as I had no timetable I was late for everything. This was clearly a warning as I woke up at 7:10 needing a shower and to make my lunch before I left at 7:15. One very quick shower and no lunch later, I managed to get in the car and rush in, only to discover I can’t actually get into the work car park as a lorry is blocking me in. I can 100% guarantee that it’ll be raining when I can move my car.

  18. Absolutely covered in gnat bites. The flying bastards have come out in force with the rain. Every evening I find more. I don’t want to go round smelling of insect repellent but I might have to or I shall become one huge red lump.

  19. One of my cats was attacked and had a massive cyst on his side.
    So while he’s recovering and taking antibiotics he’s not allowed out.
    The other cat is made of sterner stuff and isn’t pushed around by the other cats and continues to be allowed out. 

    We now have meowing protests at 4am from a pissed off cat who is not allowed to go out.

    It’s like having babies again. I’m knackered 

  20. Well, biggest issue at the moment is that it appears the people managing my pension have spent the last five years grossly overestimating the expected value of it. What makes this particularly infuriating is I’m middle aged and although home ownership isn’t entirely out of reach, it would involve sacrificing the few pleasures I have in life for several years, and as I’ve no partner or kids to leave a house to, I decided against it. Of course this was based on the assumption I’d have a retirement income I could comfortably get by on.

    Now that’s looking like it’s not actually going to happen (I’ve queried the recent statement, am waiting for a response) I’m having to replan my life. I’m sure I can get an ok deposit together by the time I’m 50 and house prices up here are low so it’s not the end of the world, it’s just really annoying. And boring. I mean I’m trying to see the positives, might be nice to have my own little place, but I also don’t really care.

  21. Builder due at 8 so got the room ready, materials ready, cars moved off drive etc. No builder. Just checked the messages and he never actually confirmed. Arse and double arse.

  22. Absolutely hating the way my mother always refers to my kids as “our grandchildren” instead of by their names when complaining they don’t see us enough. It’s so fucking possessive, never mind the fact that they get a lot more time with the kids than their other grandparents by virtue of being retired and relatively close, so have nothing to complain about in the first place.

  23. Had some heavy-ish rain yesterday and the gutter/downpipe decided it didn’t like the amount so water was coming straight over the top and down the wall. Decided to pull the water butt diverter to check it wasn’t blocked and bingo- it was. All the lovely backed up sludgy water then came out all over me, 5 mins before I had a Teams meeting. Feel like I can still taste it this morning.
