Random Fail: First World Problems

[Myrrh_Quetz]

See, I get that. My situation isn't easy for anyone else to handle. That's fine. But I get the same shit from everyone else in my life. I've been done school for what? 4 Months or so? Nearly everytime I see a friend or family member they're always giving me shit about how I'm wasting my life but no one is willing to help me figure out life. It's massively infuriating.

Imagine drawing a picture infront of everyone you know. All they say is "That's shit, do it better" but offer nothing in how you should make it better. That's everyone in my life.

My GF was the only person in my life not to say that to me.

I still love her lots and that will never change. I won't hold it as a grudge, or w/e. It just really fucking sucks to have her say that to me when she comments more than I do about how shitty everyone is to me on a daily basis.

Everyone makes mistakes. Shit happens. It's definitely a fail, so it's worth posting here, but unless it's something you consider a deal breaker in the relationship, just gotta press forward. I wouldn't dwell on it too much. Lol, you could have my luck w/ women

Like most everyone said these fights do and will happen even in the best relationships. My husband has the same coping mechanism and it brought us into fights so deep I was sure we would be divorced in a year. With that said we also didn't have the challenges you face , however there were different ones that in our situation were just as life altering given the circumstances. Given the circumstances of everything going on - I think you both will move on and learn from this. It's a part of living together and being with someone. Shit gets said that we regret - sometimes it's closer to the truth than we want to know or admit but needs to come out so it can be addressed. Over the last 5 years together I have learned how to communicate with my husband on a personal level. I know that when I need to be serious and show my concerns I need it to be away from his computer and gaming time because that is his escape. I also had to understand that he was taking my discussions as confrontation and it took a lot of tears and hard work to figure out how we relate to one another without relying on our past t figure it out. Basically take this as a learning experience on how you can relate to one another and figure out what you need to do together to move forward. You aren't the only one in life to have the majority of people insist you can do better or know what is best for their life even without them knowing the day to day issues. This is just how some people are. We either succumb to their assumptions or rise above it and find our own path and decide to say fuck the rest.

Everyone has their individual life challenges and while some are obviously "harder" than others it definitely doesn't feel that way to the ones experiencing it. I know you also mentioned about the last fertility appointment unfortunately providing some challenges ; as a female this can have massive emotions to come with it and of course you have your own as well but it's impossible that everything is affecting her too. This isn't a "his" or "her" fault - this is just a couple having a fight and needing to move forward whatever that means for you. Whether it's talking it out now , later or giving each other space for a few hours , etc. - Shit like this will happen but it's not the end of the world.

You can also go to any hardware store and rent a snake for that purpose, instead of buying one. The fact it smells like sewage though, that cant be good. Have you considered putting drywall over the smell?

[Brill Weave]

Snake the shit out of the drain first. That's all the plumber is going to do.

They sell pipe snakes that attach to a standard cordless drill.


Saved my ass 3-4 times now. Damn women and their long hair clogging mah drains.

Honestly I just fucking hate doing anything involving the plumbing in any house. I fucking hate it. My boss's brother is a plumber. I called him up and told him what's going on. He said go and pick up a Clog Hog rather than a snake. If that fails my buddy has an industrial snake. Or if I'm really feeling like being a prick I'll have a plumber come out with the camera and tell me where the clog is and tell him thanks but no thanks then hit it.

[Astylla]

Apparently I can't be trusted on my own under the influence of Norco. Yesterday fucking sucked with the whole garage flooding from the idiot person upstairs and was up late playing WoW and browsing random internet sites. TeeFury is my favorite site for new shirts and noticed their grab bag sale. I don't remembering ordering shit last night but woke up to a "Thank you for your order email" - WTF.

Yup - I ordered 5 shirts in a Norco haze and didn't remember. I linked the sale to friends on Facebook and recall wanting to ask my husband if I could make the order but apparently m brain gave no fucks and rationalized it.
Lawl.

Hey, according to the investment thread that shit smell creeping through your house is just the smell of the only sound financial investment! Plug your nose, and dream of the future.

[Brill Weave]

Well since you put it that way...

[Qeomash]

At work, not feeling great. Started getting strobe lights in my right eye. I'm about to get an ocular migraine. Can't leave work because I won't be able to drive in a couple of minutes.

Day late, but I've gotta say I know that feeling. Had my first one in years a week ago on the drive home. Good fun trying to drive when you can't see directly ahead, or the entire left lane.


On the drain...is a significant amount of water coming up, or just a little?

[Sepukku]

Have you considered putting drywall over the smell?

lol

And Myrrh make up sex is fucking insane, get it back together.

[hey]

This reminds me, I need to buy some Drano for my shower. I lose so much hair sometimes I wonder how there's even any on my head.

I swear it's fucking magic, i feel like i lose an entire head's worth of hair every day.

Industrial snakes are bad ass if you can get a hold of one of them. If you want to try a liquid clog remover, they have a pretty potent product at Home Depot. I have no idea of the name, but its in a black bottle and it comes in a resealable plastic bag. The stuff is basically straight lye...... be very careful and follow instructions as that shit will melt your skin.

Plumbing is a pain in the butt, until you realize how much money you saved in the end.


Edit:

This is the shit..... http://www.homedepot.com/p/Instant-P...1969/100144566

The power is off at work today due to a downed power line, and my office is one of the handful that's hooked up to back up generator so I still have to work.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

I've decided I'm going to local news about the mistreatment I'm getting at pain clinic. Today they threatened me with putting me on day to day release. I'm have done everything they have asked of me. I do not doctor shop or go to the emerg on a regular basis to get a fix. I am done being nice about it. I used to be dying. If I wanted drugs I could get them easily. It's like age discrimation

Yesterday was my initiation into the joys of salary life. 3:15 I get a call about someone not being able to open a document, saying it's corrupted and they had access to it earlier. Walk over there, 3 other documents with the same thing, then in about 5 minutes I get 4 more emails. Do a quick scan and see about 10000 files all modified between 12:20 and 3:25. Reboot the server, lock down the shares and bam, find out we got hit by Cryptowall. Finally got out around 8pm last night after running scans on everyone's computers and through some digging finding patient zero. Thankfully Friday we had a full backup performed, so only lost about 24hrs of work on that data server.

[BaneTheBrawler]

Good. Fuck those guys.

@Myrrh

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Well. More shit on a shit day. Got back from our newest fertility appointment. I am 100% confirmed for sterility. I have not now or have been, or ever will be producing sperm. My GF has some issues with the Crohn''s but she's still able to have kids. It's all me. God damn it.

I feel for you. I've had to deal with these Crypto(Locker,Wall) virii twice now. I finally had to send out an email telling people that disciplinary action would be taken if they open an attachment unless they had a phone conversation with the other person stating "Yes I am sending an attachment". If you aren't expecting an attachment, or don't know the person.....DON'T FUCKING OPEN IT!!!

Second time it happened it was in a email with an attached "resume". Look....you aren't in HR, why are you opening a "resume" from someone you don't know?! You're just being nosy. People's stupidity and/or gullibility just doesn't surprise me anymore after so long in this job. Now its just a waste of my time to get everything recovered because of their fuck-ups.

Work sucks.

This because it needs to be fucking repeated. People are fucking idiots.
