Okay, I have to get this off my chest because it happens everyday and I've had it!!!!

I work in a very small office - there are usually just two of us in here unless the owners are in the office, then there are 4. I take my lunch from 12 - 1 everyday, which means sitting at my desk and coming here for an hour of uninterupted fun.

At least every other day, the woman I work with decides at around 12:10 that she has to run across the street for groceries, or she has to run to the post office, or next door to talk to our tenant... It drives me crazy! I talked to her about it and she told me that I should just lock the door behind her or tell anyone that comes in to come back later (like that's going to happen!).

She did it again today, and what irks me even more is the fact that she's constantly running personal errands and then takes her lunch from 2 - 3 and WILL NOT be interrupted...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

this could also be called the 'it's always something' thread!
we bought my nephew's car for my dd's 16th bd. we are also taking the love bug plates from the black bug to put on her yellow bug... my husband was going out to play golf when it was time to register it, so he told me just to put it into my name, so he wouldn't have to take time to actually sign one place. sheesh...so i filled out the paperwork all in my name and rushed down to the DMV to find out it was closed on friday :).
this morning, my husband left town for 4 days. i ran to the DMV and they won't let me change the plates because (for some reason) only my husband's name is on the registration of the black bug. now i have to wait til he's home to have him sign off the plates from the black bug and i also have to add him to the yellow bug because the plates are presently assigned to a vehicle registered only to him, so i can't have them moved to a vehicle registered only to me, etc.
then i had to add it to the insurance.
then i found out, i also have to have it smogged in order to register it. i thought they had changed california law that the SELLER had to smog the vehicle, because so many people were selling cars they knew wouldn't pass smog...but i guess they changed it back when i had my back turned.
so i go to have it smogged, and because my nephew last had it smogged 300 miles north of here, it's another county, so it costs 80 bucks for a smog, not 39.
at least it passed!!
and the mechanics were all checking it out because it has an alpine stereo with 6-cd changers, etc. probably the best part of the car! i think the stereo system and installation was about 700 bucks.
anyway, daughter will be in heaven and i will be in the poorhouse because i'm sure her insurance will be about 1,600/year, just like her brother's.....
then my husband thinks the kids should also get christmas presents on top of each getting a car.
dd is getting a class ring--over 330 bucks, son is getting an MP3--275 bucks; dd is getting a 60-dollar yearbook, etc.
i have no idea why we can't count all these things as 'presents'.
time for the dreadmill. i actually put on 2 pounds over the last 6 days and it took me 7 weeks to lose 15. i hate backtracking!

LMAO SBG....I could not have said it better myself. I stopped to get gas this morning and my car wouldn't start. It's doing exactly the same thing it was doing when TIRES PLUS said the starter was bad. I did a magic trick I learned years ago and lightly tapped the starter and was on the road again. I then stopped at TIRES PLUS with receipt in hand and showed them that they had replaced the starter less than 2 months and 1000 miles ago and I was having the same problem. TIRES PLUS now says it's not the starter but the ignition switch...WTF does that have to do with the fact that when I tap the starter it then will start????? So....now instead of replacing the starter which is under warranty and won't cost them a dime they want 389.00 to replace the ignition and tumbler. DO I LOOK STUPID??? If they were so sure it was the starter when I was having these exact same symptoms, then why is it now the ignition? I have been on the phone with the corporate office and am awaiting the district manager to call....I hope he's ready for me. The way I see it is if my starter did not need replacing then they need to refund that money...and I'll be damned if I let them even look under the hood of my car again.

I feel right at home in here. This thread fits my mood for the last week like a glove! I can come help and bring my boots. (I can't kick the A$$ of the person I would love to most.) I will be glad to help vent your frustrations and get rid of some of my own.... maybe I better bring 2 pairs of boots.

I've got a headache since 4am this morning...and it hasn't gotten any better yet. Plus, I think I just learned in the Chess game thread that stealing a Queen is not a part of the game...go figure...geesh!!

I don't want to sound happy in this thread but it sure is nice to know I'd have some backup should I decide to go slap someone down there at TIRES PLUS. This is just the last of a long string of things that are filling up my plate of things to straighten out. It sucks!! Like I don't have enough to do.

Did I mention that this was TIRES PLUS? I hope I don't offend anyone by mentioning the name but if anyone is affiliated with them then they should really know that this particular store a rip off and giving the rest a bad name.

I'm so freaqkin TIRED of being dizziy all the dang time. I cant stay online,, scrolling is making me dizzy. Cant use the remote, channel surfing makes me dizzy, and dont get me started on driving... perephral vision is necessary to driviing, as well as checking on your speed, then looking up, but it is hard to stay focused and make yourself NOT BE DIZZY!

I am really getting mental, called the other mom I carpool with on Tuesdays to say "I'll drive" and halfway through the damn message it finally dawns on me I DON'T HAVE A CAR!!!!!!!!!!! DH still has mine cause his in the shop getting a @#$@#$$% motor!!! In mid message, I had to say "uh er..can you drive???" Now, I don't know if she got it or not or if I will need to walk up to the school...which would be exercise and I am boycotting that!!!

I still don't feel well, in fact I'm worse, not better. I worked yesterday, and Tylenol seemed to keep the aches at bay. Today the Tylenol isn't doing a thing, and I'm sneezy and achy and my throat is raw. I think I'll go home early today and hopefully shake off some of these blahs. I'm even too worn out to be very grouchy.
