Today can fuck off because..(semi lighthearted thread)

[AriesTheRam]

I'm test ready and had my driving test moved from 1st Dec to 22 Feb due to covid.Fair enough.Now had an email saying examiner not available and its been moved to 3rd week in April

Anyone else got any reasons why today can fuck off?

Sorry @bloodywhitecat that sounds awful.

@bloodywhitecat I'm so so sorry to hear that.

I called CMS three times totalling 2 1/4 hrs. They hung up on me twice and then closed for the day. I need an up-date for a Court case starting Tuesday.

My Barrister has had an accident so, as of about 3pm today, I have been re-assigned a new one. I feel despondent.

Coz this bugger stowed away in the eggs I bought today

@bloodywhitecat I am so sorry.

Because a new client doesn’t know her arse from her elbow.

@bloodywhitecat

I’m so sorry.

Because nearly every person I’ve had to deal with today has been a PAIN in the ARSE, and professional courtesy prevents me from telling them to bog off, which they richly deserve! Instead I shall have a big drink and fantasise about poking Beatrice the nobend in the eye, or maybe shooting her leg and then I’ll feel better

Got my final tax credit award, I now owe almost £900, the only way I can pay it back is use my help to pay savings, which I was going to use for carpet since I haven't been able to afford any for years!
Plus I'm scheduled in to work all over christmas and new year , yes the money will help working special days but I hate my job at the moment, obviously cant quit now though. I'm on furlough currently so christmas was going to be crap anyway money wise.

Car got stuck in icy slush on the tiny incline in the car park at nursery drop off this morning and it took ages to get out of the space.
Power went off at 8:30-taking the heating and WiFi too and has only just come back.
And I'm a self isolating headteacher (day 14 of 14 luckily) so have had loads of meetings on Zoom/Teams whilst tethered to my phone data, praying that the laptop battery would last.

Bring on the weekend!!

@bloodywhitecat so very sorry to hear this

Didn't get out of the car at nursery I hasten to add. I have an amazing nursery! Wore a mask in the car, son sits diagonally opposite the driver seat in the back. I phone nursery when I get there, they come out in masks and get him to take him back in. Same at the end of the day. I've been very lucky!

Thank you @AriesTheRam

Because apparently I’m missing Father Christmas driving down our road or something. A nice school gate friend just messaged me. She means well, but I am deliberately not on social media because I don’t need the pressure of trying to keep up with all this shit. The DC are in the bath; we’ve missed it; I am telling myself I don’t feel guilty and I DGAF but I can hear the music so... yeah I guess we’re missing out on this and I feel really lousy about it.

@bloodywhitecat and @Sunbird24 so sorry 😞

@CigarsofthePharoahs

My aunt has had an accident and my mum was poised to go down to visit her, but is now having to isolate as she's woken up with a fever. This means I have to isolate as I saw my mum yesterday. Can't get a hold of DH, so currently worrying about picking my children up from school today. At least it's the weekend. My aunt is going to be really pissed off though.

You don’t need to isolate. Only if your mum has a test and it comes back positive. You don’t isolate if someone you has spent time with has symptoms. How would schools work if every time a child had a cough we all isolated for 14 days?

Name changed for this, as I think my lovely sister in law is on here and my post is quite outing...
The whole week can fuck off (feels good writing that) because my husband is in hospital alone, upset and in pain because visitors aren’t allowed due to COVID. He was rushed into A&E on Tuesday night with abdominal pains, which turned out to be a twisted bowel.
He was in absolute agony and scared and I am his closest friend. Due to COVID I had to leave him all alone.
Basically no communication from the hospital and for the first day and a bit the only contact I had was via the occasional text. We have been left in the dark about his treatment and progress for a lot of the time and being apart has felt so hard and unnatural.
He had emergency abdominal surgery where they removed part of his bowel. He is a GP and knows what is involved in the op etc. He was so worried about the the risks involved with the op, that he was frantically texting me details of what to do in the event of his death and busily transferring money via online banking in the hour before his op. I should’ve been there to reassure him. It breaks my heart that he was preparing to say his goodbyes via text, when I should’ve been holding his hand. Thankfully op was straightforward and he is recovering well. But I am so angry that I spent most of that day wondering if I was going to be a widow by the end of it. So, yes, this week can fuck right off! Today has been much brighter as he is feeling much better which is a huge relief. But the couple of days beforehand have been harrowing. His whole family have been lovely and supportive, but again thanks to COVID rules I can’t even see any of them. I know it’s only been a few days but considering the circumstances, I am finding it really hard being in the house alone. Can’t wait till he comes home, though bit nervous as not really sure how much help/ care he needs and I want to make sure I do the very best for him. So, yes, this week can fuck the fuck off!

Because customers are complete arseholes. Today I have been called a robbing bitch, a low life and thick as shit, all because I apparently couldn't comprehend that covid has affected incomes. I'm not a moron, I am well aware. So to the hideous people that treat me like crap today I want to scream at them "treat me with an ounce of respect and I will go out of my way to help you, call me names and you can carry on paying full price"

@bloodywhitecat

Because today we were told that DP has bile duct cancer, not pancreatic cancer. Because the margins removed during his recent Whipple's procedure were not clear. Because 13 out of 19 lymph nodes are affected. Because he has a liver met. Because chemo might buy him time but he won't be cured and the average life expectancy is less than 12 months. Because I just want to write this down and have it disappear.

I am so sorry, my post is nothing in comparison

Yours is equally valid

I turned 40 yesterday, spent 2.5hrs of my birthday in a court hearing listening to my abusive ex whinging and getting things postponed which is not what is best for the children.
Today dc had an inset day. Eldest, who is autistic, was angry that his siblings were off school and he wasn't and threw his phone at me, which hit me hard.
Took younger dc to the playground and then got some takeaway food for a treat. Car tyre went completely flat on the way home so I had to call the AA and wait for them with our food. They were able to pump the tyre up enough to limp to the nearby tyre place, who didn't have the right tyre in stock so we had to leave car and walk home.
Later at home all the sockets in the house suddenly stopped working. Autistic dc was on his computer at the time and consequently had a violent meltdown. Insurance company said I'd get a call within 2 hrs to arrange for electrician to come and look at it, which was 5hrs ago so they're clearly not calling tonight. Dc have tried to play monopoly which ended in physical fight, now two dc are asleep and the other two are making noise and messing around while I just want to go to sleep and finish the day.

No motivation for work, for life, just want everyone to leave me alone. Going to shower and back to work (late, unpaid, unappreciated)

Turkey - can you buy a packet of balloons? blow them up, put them in a box and wrap it up, I can guarantee hours of fun for pennies, and when they are out of the box it will look like loads

I found out today that my "D"ExH has a new girlfriend and from the one picture of them together that I have seen she is really pretty, thinner and I would guess younger than me. Cosmic lol

Vax Carpet cleaning update.

I have done the hall and it has picked the pile up of the carpet, the colour of the water it collected was dark brown, but our carpets are that colour so no visible stains to begin with. It appears they were quite dirty. The solution has no scent, but there's no wet carpet smell either. The carpet now has stripes like when you hoover new carpet.
Next (tomorrow) will be the living room. There's some areas of carpet that see a lot of footfall so it will be interesting to see if it picks the pile up as well there.

I feel happy that the carpet in the hall is a lot cleaner than it was-it's still a bit wet, they reckon about an hour to dry.
