Thursday complaints
I have a freelance client that I've done several jobs for. They tell me what they want in the initial consult. I give them an estimate. They agree. I ask as many questions as I can to flesh out what they really want. I do a workup. EVERY DAMN TIME, they say "No, that's not it. What we really want is this" and send back an image or something they made in publisher. I asked at the initial meeting if you had anything like that. I hate to turn down the work because they're repeat customers, but I don't know if it's worth the frustration anymore. I'm wasting my time.
I have a headache, and I'm grumpy, and I have zero desire to go to class tonight and deal with whiny students that have had two weeks to work on a project that is due next class but will no doubt be all up in my grill tonight wanting me to magically fix their butched code that they haven't bothered to look at in a week.
MIL called. We're looking at a three to four month timeline. Today sucks.
On a bright note, my husband does not have hemmoroids or butt cancer as he was sure he did. He just has a fungus. I have not stopped laughing.
Re: Thursday complaints
I'm sorry about the MIL call, Buddha. =(
Lorne is on all night call tonight, which means second day in a row of no help with the kids. I'm tired. But work is looking okay tonight, so maybe I'll watch another terrible movie and imprint on some wine when I'm done.
I need to know if Zane got a butt fungus from sitting on public toilets. It's my new fear.
I am feeling roly poly, but for some reason I am not allowed to exercise (other than walking) until after IVF is over (and even then, I'm sure I'll be restricted). I don't understand why, but I don't dare defy the rules.
Of course, I went for a walk yesterday (after complaining about how boring walking is) and I loved it. Today it's really, really windy so I'm not sure how enjoyable a walk will be.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
This has me all kinds if angry and laniefacing.

I have no idea what this is, and I don't think I want to.
All I know about that movie I learned from Tosh.0's review. And actually, I missed most of his review but the bits I did catch were way more than I ever wanted to hear.

Your H has butt fungus?! Awwww... that does not sound pleasant.
I wish I lived in Mississippiland so I can take your class and learn how to code. I swear I would do your homework. lol.
Clients like that are the worst!! Last week I did a powerpoint presentation for a client and she freaked me out asking for it as a DVD. I was thinking, who needs a simple powerpoint as a working DVD? After much stressing and research (and a bit of pirating) I figured it out. Turns out.....where she was giving her presentation didn't even need the DVD. They have powerpoint presentations allllll the time. FML.
I'm LOLing at Fent. Please, that movie came out like 2 years ago! There's even a sequel!
I feel worse today, like I have the flu. I hate this. Thank god I have like 4 weeks of sick time banked, because I don't think I'm going I tomorrow.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
Shut up BOB, go read some more books and stop watching every movie ever just so you can make fun of other people for not seeing movies!!! whatever! I know of the sequel. I heard the number 12 and was all, NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE.
Buddha, you don't want to know. Just trust me.

Sorry about the news. At least your H is a fun guy. (Get it)
I actually don't have a complaint today. Hmmm...that's odd. Let me check my temp and get back to you.
Ewww, I didn't watch it! I just know these things.
Buddha, some creepy European dude kidnaps travelers and connects them ass-to-mouth, creating a human centipede. And he feeds it. Think about it.

Every time I see Fent's soggy other than a bit of pride becaus I AM funny, I feel frustrated because I can't remember the tedious conversation that prompted it. It was after Raw Milk Day, so that wasn't it.
That's not really a Thursday complaint though. All I've got today is Mr M's quest for slacks. I swear he's been looking for thes for ten years now, really. Every time he has to wear slacks we go through this, he wears them twice ,decides he hates them and goes back to wearing shorts year round. I could be gardening dammit. I have a trellis to build. I don't even know why I'm here, every time I offer a suggestion he looks at me like I've got two heads and says I don't understand men's pants.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
So nobody clicked on my link, right? It can't be a Heath already since it was filed this week. Is it just that boring?
Symopsis: Some crazy in Alaska is alleging African Americans aren't citizens because while the 14th amendment gave them civil rights, it did not grant them political rights. (and of course the point is that Obama is inelligible for presidency)
Bahahah!!! That's probably the best synopsis of a movie I think I've ever read. Thanks for making me guffaw out loud in the office Bob!

I saw a picture of a human centipede tattoo on a blog somewhere. Euw.
I have an annoying tickle in my throat and can't stop coughing. It's a-nnoying.
I'm annoyed it's only Thursday because I'm super excited for our MN GTG on Saturday because LHC is coming. Jealous? You should be. :-)
In addition, cuts all the tendons in their knees so they can't stand up and have to crawl around. Although I'm not sure who would try to stand up if your mouth was sewn onto something, even an assh0le.
My sig is indeed Uninvirish related.

Wendy, I started to read it but after a bit I was like, "Racist Grandpa Simpson lives in Alaska and feels like wasting people's time and money," so I gave up on it. I'm sure he also thinks there are too many states and we should remove 3. He is not a crackpot.
I was going to complain that Apple has had my ipod for 4 foffing weeks, but I just got an email they are finally sending the replacement. Thanks for taking your sweet ass time, effers.
"That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
Sorry, Wendy. I got as far as "mulatto" and felt like barfing so I didn't get as far as why that meant no political rights. I'd like to say that these idiots just turn people off their cause with shiit like this (you know when they actually show the racisism underlying their anger), but I believed that more 10 years ago.

Ack! Never mention it again! Although I think the discussion was actually a debate over the rehash of the fallout of the incident. The incident that we're never mentioning again.

I think I just threw up a little bit. WTF thinks of crazy crap like that let alone does it. Tell me this isnt real its just a movie. A movie I will never see
I don't know what you guys are talking about. The Human Centipede is a delightful family show on ice.
I have no complaints, really. I asked my boss a simple question and he interpreted it as something way more complicated and we wound up finding a discrepancy in some spreadsheets and he gave me all the credit even though it was just dumb luck and him misinterpreting what I was asking.
I took the credit.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
Oh yes, ditto this. I had it typed but I deleted it because it seemed wrong with the smiley centipede.

Oh hooray....how very topical:
