Reasons to frown

Ok, so we have a smiling thread. This thread is for all of the little dumb things that make you frown, or angry, or sad, etc., etc.
I'll start. I had chili for lunch today. I brought some crackers for the chili and a banana for breakfast. THE CRACKERS ABSORBED THE BANANA FLAVOR THROUGH THE BAG, SO I HAD BANANA FLAVORED CHILI FOR LUNCH! >:(
tomorrow is the 16th anniversary of Mom's suicide....my miscarried child would have turned three sometime around here too.... this isn't the best time of year for me.

hanashii!! good vibes and hugs to you! im so sorry!
Evergreen, I'm putting together an emergency kit and thought of how crazy people act. I'm stocking it with small bottles of water, because if I walk around and someone sees me with an unconcealed large bottle, I know I'd get mugged. Whether or not they needed it. I think I should include a weapon in my kit. I'm not sure what, though. Or pepper spray. Something. People are unhinged.
While driving my scooter into and out of town last week to get it registered, on a dry and sunny day, was almost fun... driving in the thick, mizzly drizzle sucks arse. I hate, hate, HATE it. So much so that I drove the scooter home to my flat after work, left it there and cycled (almost an hour) back out here in the drizzle. Hey, on the bright side, I need the exercise.
My roommate must be completely daft.
He is living here under the radar (because we thought he was honestly hard-up for a place to live, which ended up being a LIE, but that's another story). He KNOWS we could get evicted if anyone found out he is here....so what does he do??
He signs up for newsletters online and instead of putting his college PO box, puts our address. So now he is getting mail here and our mailperson keeps drawing question marks on his mail because she's wondering who this person is. GAH. We can NOT afford eviction. This on top of all the other stuff he's been doing
I WANT HIM OUT OUT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is more of a frown than a slanty but GAH.
Examples of things he's done:
-Let his friend keep her car here for weeks at a time even though we already said the limit was 2 or 3 days max once a month.
-Come up to us and asked "by the way, can I have some friends over to drink tonight?" WTF? No you can not have drunken strangers in our home with 0 notice.
-Come up to us and say "oh by the way I have a pet tarantula and crickets now"... Would have been nice to ask. I do not fancy a cricket infestation of one of our cats knocks the tub over.
-"BTW can I hide a stray cat here for like a week?" NO. We have a HORRIBLE flea problem we are trying to get under control and bringing in a stray cat will make things worse, not to mention probably giving our cats worms, upper respiratory infections, or whatever else it is carrying. He has no plans on taking it to a vet before bringing it into our home so no. Plus since he is NEVER here, I'd be the one trying to potty train kitty, feed kitty, make sure my other 4 cats don't KILL kitty...I'm all about saving strays but now is NOT a good time. and I mean really? The closest kitty your sister can find is over 3 hours away? Come on....
-Yesterday I caught him trying to put one of my cats head first into a walmart bag. I was pissed. No wonder our cats don't like being held anymore... and this SOB wants to be VET. GAH.
This is only a partial list. I feel I've ranted long enough...
It's grey and raining off and on instead of being like spring.
I spent the entire bike ride home trying to write a good Open Letter but just succeeded in driving myself batty with confusion.
I'm cold and alone at my parents house, going mildly stir-crazy.
I can't seem to keep the good things that are happening, in my thoughts. Perhaps it's partly the influence of PMS.
I'm not loving the fact that soon, very soon, I will no longer have a main squeeze. It's not personal*; but it was amazingly good to have someone with whom to cuddle, spoon and snooze.
I feel emotionally constipated. I need a mind enema.
*I hate how selfish this sounds.
I'm going to go have some beer and watch a tearjerker movie and hope that helps. I could do with a good cry.

if it was me, i'd get rid of that asshole quicker then you could snap your fingers.

my T6-T9 vertebra have popped out, with discs bulging once again....need to find an 8 year old to walk on my back and pop 'em back. 'Til then, I will be going to any interviews braless, and possibly doped up. =o(
jeff called me this morning and less than a minute into the conversation, my phone died!
(I'm not supposed to share this...BUT) my brother got convicted of a DUI and cannot drive for a year. He's in college to be an elementary school teacher, so he has to change his major. ALSO, he has to go to jail today. I feel like crying so bad.
oh wow, courth im sorry, that's awful :[
Being told to come to a "casual interview" only to be thrown into a conference room with 3 regional executives wearing suits worth more than my car and filleted alive.
Oh, that's just mean. My sympathy.

whoa Courth that's not cool, does he actually have to stay in jail for a while? Hope you're doing ok...

holy hell that sounds scary! Did you find an obliging 8 year old/alternative solution?
He was given like...a month and a half, but if he's good, they compound the days and he gets out in 15 or so days. I think he'll be good. I just hope nothing happens.
hanashi, i would walk on your back if i was there. I'm not eight. but i dont think i'd squish you.
I am an avid work putter offer. I have 8 pages of writing tonight (But its in question answer format mostly, so i think i'll be good.), a math section, and story to read. Not sleeping tonight.. =[
And from moving my bed and file cabinet and things across the house alone my back and side hurt so bad. i can't move right. Ugh.
I just spent over an hour rewriting my CV so I could take it along to give to my potential new employers... only to find out that I can't get the goddamned printer to work. >:(
I just looked at my bank account.
I have $450. I pay for my own food and gas and everything. Crap is wrong with my car. No one will hire me. The stupid guy in charge of the tutoring job i supposedly had is being dodgy. And isn't giving me needed paper work to turn in to get the job. Plus. that job will start in like late january if anything. My friend was with me when i was asking a store if they were hiring. He totally pulled asshole move and put in an application (he needs a job too, but his mom pays for everything for him, and shes totally fine with it, and he has like 1500 on top of that.), and i was stupid and told him they were hiring again (he had an interview but the manager than was being stupid and hired his friends that dont to work, but hes gone now). My friend then called the guy who is going to be the manager when i said that i was trying to get a job there. He was then moved to the top of the interview list... And its stupid christmas time. And all my friends are getting me things, because we're doing an exchange. I'm going to be getting them very tiny gifts compared to what they're getting me. I have no experience. Everyone i know is looking for jobs. The majority of them HAVE experience. No one wants to hire some one with no experience versus some one with experience. Even with the seasonal jobs.
Okay. i'm just kind of going off on this downer rant.
Basically, i need a job, and i feel like i'm never getting one. So i'll be screwed pretty soon. At least scholarships will come in at the end of january. So i should have a little bit extra after paying tons of money for books that are "required" but we only use one freaking time.
