Grrr

Downstairs just now I saw a note on the household message board which made me angry. You know how sometimes something someone says will leave you lightly frothing at the mouth and it's all the more frustrating because you know that there's nothing you can do for a few hours anyway? I hate that. I hate it even more when the person I'm angry with is me. Again. Oh, sure, I know that I've got problems, but those are mostly problems I've had for quite some time and if I had any decency at all I'd have figured out a way to work around them by now.

Argh. I swear, I'd march into my bedroom and administer a resounding slap to myself right now if I thought it could do any good.

aargh

So sorry, sweetie.

Fwiw I had a very similar thing today. Had been avoiding a file on my desk because I wasn't sure what I had to do with it and I knew I should've dealt with it a week or more ago and I've just had so much work I haven't had the leisure to sit there and think "Oh, yes, I really should do that."

And I got a call about it today.

I have to work it out and get rid of it. And this isn't the first time I've done this. When I get swamped, I get SWAMPED and I can't organise things properly. It's always been my problem and it catches me out every few months.

Long story short, I understand, it sucks, and I'm sorry you have to go through it.

And I love you.

::huggles Meg::

Thank you. I'm feeling better now. Having accepted the fact that I'll still have to wait a couple hours before being able to do anything about it, I've settled in to reading morning LiveJournal and have had several lovely gigglefits already.

That file aside, how are you doing today?

Oh, I'm glad you're feeling better, sweetie. Is it really 100% your fault? (will understand if you don't want to dwell on it!)

Not too bad, thank you. I really need to go to sleep, but I'm downloading some info I need for a job application I don't want to make. Heh. Purely for the money, unfortunately.

It's not 100% percent my fault, but the percentage is well over 80. I can think of excuses, of course, but not particularly good ones.

What kind of job is it? Or is that something *you'd* rather not dwell on? Sorry you need money so much. One of us needs to win a lottery or something.

Hey, any excuse from you IS a good one, missy.

The lottery sounds fabulous!

It's here if you wanna look - they'll take down the link as submissions closed today, but I've found previous job ads on their site so I think they only remove the link, not the page.

Ahhh

You're filling that out? Good luck, Meggles, which ever way the pen falls.

Why are you up this late?

And you'll keep us up-to-date, right?

Re: Ahhh

[identity profile] megthelegend.livejournal.com 2004-05-14 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you bet.

Only got home a little while ago, from a reasonably good cricket function. Nicky spewed on the carpet - awful to clean - roughly 30cm from the wooden floor - easy to clean. Typical.

Can't sleep, but will have to try shortly.

How are YOU doing? When exactly do you expect Fuckface?

Mine used to always ALMOST make it to the toilet to spew.

FF, the SD, is due around the 21st bt of course we're not sure since he hasn't called from Alice.

And I'm up because I'm upset and ready to throw in the towel -- long story and not worth your sleep time. Or royal wedding time.

Re: Ahhh

[identity profile] megthelegend.livejournal.com 2004-05-14 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
And I did go, yes!

You can tell me any time, though, sweetie. You're always worth my time.

If you don't want to talk, obviously I understand that. But if you do, I'm always 'here'.

Re: Ahhh

[identity profile] yasminke.livejournal.com 2004-05-14 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, and same goes for you, ya know.

But right now, I have money to spend I don't have and if I do discuss it I will get upset and not sleep again tonight.

I know, thank you sweetie.

Sigh. I get the same way about not wanting to discuss stuff, sometimes, as you know. So I sympathise.

And money stuff SUCKS.

Obviously I'm poor & can't help out in big ways (I would force you to borrow money if I *had* it) but if I can help out in littler ways do let me know. I occasionally have time to do stuff like pick up kiddies and so forth.

Ah, thanks, Meg, and some day I might take you up on that offer. But with you WORKING on Saturdays, I think it might be a while.

Not enough money sucks the big one, eh?

Pshaw

We've all done thatand beating ourselves up about it does no good.

Did you get it straightened out yet?

Eh, working on it. Takes time. Wouldn't take anywhere near as much time if I'd done things in a timely manner, but I didn't, so it'll take a while.

::huggles HW and whispers in her ear::

You are beautiful.

You are doing amazingly well in your circumstances.

You are a loving, generous-hearted woman.

You deserve to be treated respectfully and gently - by yourself as well as others.

Thank you, Windy. You're sweet!
