Oh dear Raina. I'm so sorry darling. You don't deserve this, nor does your friend. For all of your sakes, I hope she takes the advice given and gets herself some counseling.

This is a slightly smaller bitch out than what some others have been going through lately... But I have my first party on Saturday, and shark week just started. Stupid not-regular uterus, I never know when it's going to hit! I thought I had another week, at least.

I feel you, I was planning on starting swimming and working out more to build stamina and muscle but then shark week started lol. I could just pop in a tampon and still go swimming but honestly I don't want to do anything now hahaQuote:

I have irregulars too. It's horrific. And tampons on the first day make it all worse. No idea why though. I love that you call it shark week!
Could be worse... Shark Week Becomes "Summer of the Shark"Quote:

Shannon- I picked it up here on the forum. Considering the female reproductive system resembles a sharks brain, it quickly became my favourite euphemism EVER.

I'm really happy I'm not the only one who calls it Shark Week.
DH on the other hand calls it "Wifeys vengeful uterus"
I had to scroll up to find out what Shark Week was...:lol::$
Over here its just called a Special Friend Visit. Luckily for me, menopause came early last year. Now it only visits every 3 or 4 months, much like a travelling salesman!:lol:
On another note...
Families piss me off sometimes!
For the past 2 wks, my brother has been having his bathroom renovated at his flat and they've been staying over here. Now I would have gladly gone and helped with whatever, but I have other obligations to fulfill, mainly looking for work. Every cover letter HAS to be tailored for the advertising job, its very tiring to write each and every letter so it don't sound like a rehash of what I just wrote for another application! Do they not understand that?! I'm up every morning with the kids and don't stop till dinner time. Weekends are the only time that I have to myself. Plus I'm on welfare payments, its not something so easily said to a welfare officer, "No, I didn't look for work for the past two weeks because I've been helping my brother do his bathroom."
Nooo... Brother says, "She's so damn lazy! Don't even offer to help." Then turns around to his wife to tell her, "See? I told you she's too lazy to come and help. She won't do it unless you invite her!" He says all this in front of their kids, now I know why they don't listen to me and laugh in my face when I try to discipline them.
Now that things slow down towards the end of the week, I say "I'll get changed". Then he's so angry. "Don't bother! Its just one door! Can't even help during the week, then its nearly finished then come and help?!"
Once I find some stable work, I'm out of here... Even my friends have asked me why I let him talk to me in that tone. When he talks to me, its like he's scolding me, its just so freaking annoying. Even when he's normal trying to be nice, he's still got that tone of voice. And he does it in public too.
Shark week. Gosh. Haha.
I had uterine cancer so I don't have that problem any more. Silver linings. I'm recovered so don't let that word scare you or dampen the mood. Haha shark week. I love it.
urgh.... never actually eaten at a wagamama even though there's one in manchester (which is a train ride away) as I usually go to a place called Wasabi. But I seem to remember other friends having issues with staff/service at other locations too. Sadly london is an expensive and long trek for me so I rarely get there!Quote:

I'm so glad I have the implant, it means I haven't had a shark week in 2+ years!
anyways this pales in comparison to others but I turn 26 on monday, and a couple of weeks ago I decided at the urging of you guys, to organise I say out for my birthday weekend (so, tomorrow) to exorcise the shitty memories of two years ago. I hade a bunch of people say they were going to go and the day was panning out to be awesome. Now all but two people have bailed on it. 4 of which I only found out today after chasing them up with texts to find out so I could book a table at a cool new oriental place that does chinese and korean bbq and hot pot. Which is something I was really excited to try and works best when you have a bunch of people there to eat together. Now we can't really go to that place so we'll just be going to our usual haunt instead.
And I was planning on going to the alt and burlesque fair next weekend separately because I figured most people would be busy as it's valentines day and would say no. Now I might as well have just kept it to next weekend and save me the £20+ that tomorrow will cost me in train fare, meals and starbucks (cause one of the two people actually coming tomorrow doesn't like any other coffee place and seemingly can't exist in manchester without going there lol) cause i'm also broke since merfest and still currently unemployed, so getting more broke.
It's left me feeling like 'why did I f'cking bother?' when events this week have already majorly triggered my depression. It's making that fight much harder right now. Doesn't help when I have a bust ankle either as I fell down some stairs in town nearly 2/3 weeks ago and there's still more bruising and damage coming out. It still hurts to touch and walking around in town today running errands (first time out in a week) had made it achey and swell back up again. I honestly feel like just hiding under the duvet and not coming back out. But that's what my depression does.
There's other stuff flaring it up this week too, like just finding out about pearlie's lotus tail (when i've spent 2+ years planning on doing plant tails as 'my thing' but tis all okay I <3 my mer-sister pearlie too much to be angry or anything, but depression can be silly) and I've now also had someone that I felt used and betrayed me that I blocked to avoid confrontation, send me an email (after finding out from someone else why I blocked her and am pissed at her), accusing me of using people and calling me immature for blocking her and 'hiding behind technology'.
so yeah, one seriously shitty week for my state of mind here. Just seems to be one thing after another.
"accusing me of using people and calling me immature for blocking her and 'hiding behind technology'."
Tell her maybe you blocked her because she's a bitch you don't need in your life.
I want you to have a happy birthday! If I could, I'd fly over and we would go out and eat until we are stuffed, do something ridiculously pampering, and then go out to someplace loud and drink!
The burlesque thing sounds fun! My daughter is in a burlesque troupe and it's awesome! ( http://www.weburlesque.com )
I hope you do have a good birthday weekend, despite all the things that seem to be happening. :mermaid kiss:
So a few posts ago i was venting about my boss and how unhappy i was with it all and how i couldnt stand her and her constant hovering and "well..i did it this was so youre wrong " crap i gave her my notice sunday and tomorrow is my last day and i got a new job. Less pay $12 to $10 roughly. But now since i got paid cash, though i claim my 1099 (if anyone knows that) and she wont give me tax papers and claims i only worked 50 days out of 365 last year. I probably only has that many days off last year.

Call the IRS and tell them your former employer refuses to provide your documentation to file your 1099. It's illegal to withhold that information from you. Gather all your documentation, checks, stubs, and record of payment to back up your case. The IRS will contact her and open an investigation. For this, the IRS would be working on your side. Just make sure all your records are in order, first. :)
I have to call my take guy too. *le sigh* so much troubleeeeee. If im getting paid cash upfront but still pay quarterly taxes, i still need them right ?
formerly jayy
Gah, I am done trying to talk sense into cry babies.
From now on, I am just gonna block the jerks. I am going to vent as if I am talking to the people whom have agrevated me, so no worries, I am not talking about anyone in this thread, just venting about what I witnessed as if talking to the jerks themselves. Just a venting method, feel free to ignore. I just gotta say it to get it off my chest.

News flash; someone disagreeing with you after you make a comment (that you KNOW, and even worse ADMIT ALOUD it will upset people) and then they disagree with you, that is not you "GETTING ATTACKED" that is called having a discussion. Also, if you "don't care what others think" why do you keep responding then? If you said your peace and don't care about others then why not leave it at that.
People aren't trying to change your mind, honestly, peeps just want you to go away at this point. No one was talking about you and no one WANTS to talk about you.
/end pretend chewing out jerks I saw on the internet.
If you are paying your taxes, reporting what you are being paid, the IRS will be on your side. If you were being paid under the table/off the books, then you can get into trouble. If you have an accountant, definitely talk to them.Quote:

@imogen Have you called the IRS to see if they can help? Everyone labels them the bad guys but since I screwed up my own taxes in 2012 and 2013 and have to file amendments and payback about $500 they have been very kind and helpful while I file all the stuff. I even got an extension. Its been a pain but..they do seem to want to be helpful .. maybe they can put a fire under your employer's butt.
I am going to call my tac guy first and see what he thinks i shohld do. He is pretty sensible so im sure i can get some advice for this before going to the irs. Its just a hassle you know?

Ok so last night I had to work, we'll it's Mardi Gras season and Saturday was a big day. I didn't get downtown in time to park anywhere near work so I had to park in BFE. And guess what? My car got towed. So I come home at 1 am after cling the city in pound to see if they have it, which they had no clue at the time, and went to bed. Called this morning at 730 and the officer says they MIGHT have it on the lot. So now I have to go down there to see if it hey do. And the entire ride hime,my husband decided to bitch about the car, how it got towed, the officers the wouldn't let me through, and my manager (basic the entire situation) and I can't help but feel like everything is my fat and that I'm the idiot. I cried al the way home and most of the night..... Now this isn't the only bad part from last night. One of our guests complain about EVERY SINGLE THING! We ate not the best/most up to date hotel; it's kinda shitty. But the new owners are going to do some overhauling after the season ends. I explained that and she goes off the handle. The bed spread, lack of parking, key mixup, the tv. My Mgr offered her her money bacj if she checked out; she refused and continued to ream me and my Mgr about how shitty the hotel is. House keeping isn't doing the job. They are leaving rooms dirty, putting dirty covers back on the beds , etc. So I had to clean 2 rooms last night. Something I should have NEVER had to do.
Very frustrated!
what about, hun?Quote:

However he has grown to be quite the creeper. He come knocking at our door at least once a day, completely uninvited and without warning. If my roommate or I answer the door, he will just come right in a start talking. Normally I have no issues letting people in my room and I love to chat with new people, however this guy shows up at the most random times, without asking if he can come over. Last weekend he showed up at the door at 2am, drunk out of his mind, trying to convince me to go to a party with him. I told him no and was very unimpressed, and kicked him out. On top of this, he will text me every day, asks and says very awkward things; acting like we are bffs. I can't even get over how creepy he is. I have literally showed zero interest in talking to him and he just doesn't pick up on social cues. If he sees me in the hall he will go and smack her on the back or poke my sides and it's just very uncomfortable. The other day I got back from a friend's house and he saw me coming in and came out of his room and said "Wow way to answer your door" I explained to him that I was out all night and he got angry and went back into his room. It is at the point where I've told my roommate not to answer the door if he knocks, and I rush to my room sometimes to avoid getting stuck talking to him in the halls. This guy is just downright creepy and I don't know how much more obvious I need to be for him to TAKE A FREAKING HINT. I don't want to be rude or mean. I just want him to leave me alone.
Can you report him to school guards for stalking and harassment?Quote:

Entering your room without permission is something you can probably report. I mean, that is showing no respect for your consent. You could simple get in his way and say aloud, "I am not consenting you to enter my room." If he does anyway that is DEFINATELY something you can report.
And he's touching you, even pats on the back, without your permission. That counts too.
If you REALLY don't wanna report him you could try to talk to him, explain he is making you uncomfortable, and set some boundaries? If he doesn't respect that, report him, if he does then maybe he will turn off his creep mode. If he does not pick up on social ques he MIGHT actually just need direct explanation.
(Although with this option I would suggest both you and your roomate do this, preferable in a public place where he is less likely to act irrationally in case you are worried he will.)
If that doesn't work, kick him in the nuts and tell him to piss off! Wait till he sneaks up on you then whirl around to do that. Its self defence cos you weren't expecting someone to creep up behind you like that...
He just texted me (surprise, surprise) So I sent him a very nicey worded tex message explaining that he has overstepped some boundaries and I'd appreciate it if he stopped...
He responded by telling me I'm too uptight for my own good......
I agree with Jaffa. Time to kick him in the nuts.Quote:
