I just wanna say -- the random comments thread

Didjya ever feel like life* as you know it is hinging on the outcome of something over which you have NO CONTROL? Gah. :rolleyes:

*edited my typo! :wink2:
 
Deco: Yes. And I get to keep feeling it until I get a firm job/grad school offer, which won't be for months. Its a charming feeling, really.
 
deco - huh????
 
My cat jumped up into the closet, knocked down all the blankets and books from the top shelf and everything has been piled up for a week now.

One of the plugs to the heater in my fish's tank accidently was unplugged last night and the tank is next to the window. It's around 29 degrees out and the water was ice cold!

We have 1 cm of snow on the ground and my car doesn't have snow tires. What to do? Grocery shop or not? Venture out into the wild?
 
deco - hah, I can safely say that I know exactly the feeling!


star - you're right, it's all going in circles!

Glad to hear that you and your BF had a good weekend :))

Now the other bit - here's my question: does it still bother you because you are hurt, scared, or worried, or does it bother you because you feel he wasn't sufficiently apologetic?
If it is the former - well, I think as young women the pressure is on to be cool by looking independent, not needy, letting it go. The problem, though, is that I don't think we as *humans* can just let go of our pain, fear, and concerns, and usually not voicing how we feel just means we stew silently and eventually resentfully.
We can't change how another person acted in the past, but we *can* let that person know what we need from him/her to make peace with it. In your position I would just tell him point blank that I'm hurt, scared, and worried, quite possibly irrationally and I know it, but I need more reassurance. Everyone has fears and insecurities and admitting them isn't unattractive, it's honest. Dare I say more honest than keeping quiet and suppressing one's own feelings for fear of 'ruining the peace'.. :sick:

Edit for spelling.

I figured it out.

And Yes.
Today. This week. This month. This year.
 
I'm cranky and crampy and I hurt.
 
My boss keeps ruining our holiday lunch surprise :rolleyes:

My coworker and I bought him a gift and want to give to him over lunch, but not in front of the team as we do not know if the other analysts are getting their bosses something. I sent an invite for the lunch and he forwarded to the entire team! RUDE :lol: :rolleyes:
 
deco- Yes I have, but thankfully I haven't felt that way in quite awhile. I think I'm finally to the point where I'm in total control of most things in my life, and it's quite liberating! Of course, this is subject to change at any moment, but I'll enjoy it while I can. :)

See, that's the problem. It isn't still "bothering" me, per se, in the sense that I'm worried (because really, I'm not) or don't think he's sorry. Of course I'm still a little hurt, that'll take a little while to go away.

I think I've already communicated to him what bothered me about it and he acknowledged that and said it won't happen again. I believe him, I don't think he's cheating on me (and I never did think he was), and I don't think his actions had a malicious intent.

At this point, I'm not even sure what about it is still bothering me, or if it even IS still bothering me! That's the whole issue I'm having...I don't really have anything else I want to say to him about it, but it's still nagging me in the back of my mind. I think part of it is that I don't think he understands WHY I was upset in the first place. He knows I was, acknowledges that, apologized for it, said it won't happen again, but deep down I don't think he gets what the issue was. And I'm not sure how or if I should, or even need, to bring it up again.

I'm sorry if this was just a long ramble, though I guess it's just indicative of how disjointed my thoughts and feelings are on this topic.

1cm of snow? I don't think you need snow tires for that :) I don't think you need snow tires for even 5 inches! :))
 
This is how I feel: :rolleyes: :shock: :evil: :snore: :angryfire: :snore: :snore: :snore: :snore:
 
They're playing Taylor Swift songs in my daughter's tap class....I keep finding myself singing along! ;( Somebody save me....
 
We move into our new house in 3 weeks!!! The closer we get crazier my dreams get, last nights dream was that all of our furniture was to big for the rooms. In the dream we literally had to squeeze through the rooms as the furniture was jumbo sized :errrr:

We took measurements, and ordered our furniture, hopefully these dreams mean nothing.
 
am unhinging. sqeeeeeeeeaaaaaaak
 
Hyperbole and a Half makes me laugh until I cry.

Ugh, too late now. I just spent the last two hours putting them on. (j/k) My car is 4WD so I'm pretty much set for anything the sky drops down on us. We have about an inch now! ... the mystery and suspense surrounds: will school be late or cancelled tomorrow!
 
BF and I are planning on going to Disneyland for New Year's, and I'm so excited! Yesterday we booked the hotel, today I booked the rental car, and right now I'm on hold to make dinner reservations at the Blue Bayou one of the nights we're there.

We've been talking about doing this for about a month, but we're just now making concrete plans for it. Is it December 29 yet? :twirl:
 
I really want to make brownie pecan pie.
 
Did you ever get the urge to jump in the car and start driving...and never stop? I really feel like doing that right now, just driving for the rest of my life. But I know I'd feel guilty and turn around, and then I'd have to explain to everyone what I had done, and everyone would think I was crazy. And I guess they would be right. But I really don't want to be here right now.
 
Arizona was interesting. The way people dress was interesting too.

I will happily eat your brownie pecan pie. Were you offering?
 
It's 2:30am and I'm tired and want to go to sleep, but SO works super early in the mornings and really needs his rest, and I know I will not be able to restrain myself when I crawl into bed ... he'll be all warm and snuggly and sans clothes and I'm only human, ladies! ;(

yes. and...i get it.
 
The police called at 10:15 last night to say they found my stolen car (gone three weeks). And the damage is "considerable". I guess I'll find out today if I'm happy or sad they found my car.

Sure. Come on over.
 
Good luck Yssie.
 
a monster and a venti coffee this morning have me hoovering somewhere around a 10 when a 3 would be more office appropriate.

Good thing I have my own space in the back of the building. LOL. I

mmmmmh coffee :lickout:
 
Strawder - That's just funny... and you didn't finish a sentence... which is funnier.


Right now I'm a little steamed. As you may remember last year we had a gun stolen. We reported it and heard NOTHING back about it from the police department. Today I read an article about one of the police officers' guns having been stolen from his home, and a reward being offered!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR REAL???????????? :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire: Ours cost more too.
