I've lost my voice...So not amused.

I. Want. To. Strangle. Someone.

Back to anger management for me....

I got a job after more than a year on sick pay- and now my income becomes lower.

I've been deprived of Scrawlers, Paramore, and silence. It also snowed, so I couldn't get home yesterday.

I'm overexhausted and won't have a 'normal' evening until the 17th. I'm rehearsing and performing non-stop every other day.

also have a cavaty that's driving me nuts but don't have time to get fixed until the 18th. *sigh*

I wish it would snow here. The ski resorts are flipping out, the farmers and hydrologists are flipping out, I'm flipping out, and Bing Crosby's probably spinning in his grave over our lack of snow this time of year.

couldn't make it for the stupid deadline for a competition. Last time I try doing a week's worth of work in 2 days.

After working a whole eleven days straight (at a job where I am the only person working in the shop and I work seven and a half hours without any sort of lunch break and I'm actually being paid below minimum wage) I was looking forward to having the twelfth off ... only today I was informed that my day off has been cut down to 'two hours in the morning' off.

I'm so looking forward to after Christmas and I can start looking for a new job.

They just won't stop messing with my hours.

Babysitting sucks. I'm ready to kill the oldest and youngest child.

One of the drawbacks of working from a home office:

when Mr. Ange thinks his right to turn the TV up as loud as he wants is more important than my need to keep distractions minimal during work hours.

I spent my lunch break blowing a gasket over that.

A few good things are happening today, though. It's snowing, the kids are scheduled to sing at Mass, and we have tickets to see the Nutcracker tonight.

The bad thing is the sheer amount it's snowing tonight. Can anyone say whiteout?

I got back to my flat yesterday to find out that my heating had cut out. How I'd found out? All four of my rats were dead from the fact it dropped below freezing. Now I have to tell the previous owner. Somehow.

On the same day, found out that my foster grandad, who is in a home with Parkinson's and Lymphoma, may just about make it to New Years.

....I'm staying with my fosters from the 20th to the 3rd. Which means I'll be spending Christmas, a time of year I personally hate, sitting beside a death bed.

Merry fucking Christmas.

While attempting to pull the truck out to get it to the mechanic for a leaky, slightly wonky transmission the way we usually do in heavy snow (that is, dig a lot, then rock it out of its icy tomb), we discovered that the drive gear simply doesn't work, and even once we pushed the truck onto clear road, it would only go forward in neutral. Our options were to drive the truck in reverse the whole way to the mechanic, push it all the way, or call a tow truck.

Worst thing about that? This, the truck I've affectionately dubbed the Lovely and Talented Linda Blair, is our family's safe, reliable vehicle, the one I intend the husband to take to California while I replace the other car, which the mechanic pronounced not worth fixing ages ago.

UPS was also delayed, due likely to the weather. No new comics today.

I have to go to school tomorrow, and it's pointless. It's a half day, so I only have study hall and interdisc. In interdisc, we're watching Mean Girls.

So I can't get my transcript off of my school's record system and nobody is in the office.

I need my transcript to send to the school I want to take over the library for.

I'm probably going to be stuck in wal-mart over this.

I. Want. To. Kill. My. Foster mom's. Ex.

I want to kill his wife.

And I want to slap some fucking sense into the brats that were my little foster bro and sis.

Grandad still not dead.

Managed to slice the tops of my fingers open so typing with only two fingers on one hand.

Christmas? Can go and screw itself.

The forecast called for 5-8 inches of snow. I figured we'd be able to go ahead with a planned Christmas dance recital. We got over a foot, the snow's still falling, and we're getting some 60 mph gusts. Everyone's snowed in. The sanders and plowers must be taking some Christmas vacation, because the roads in town are completely buried, and a few snowy ruts is all that's left of our major highways.

The dance recital is canceled.

You know how bad that is? I'm complaining about it, and I actually love snow!

I've had a nasty nasty lumbar puncture headache for 6 days straight and my neuro never called me back to let me know what I can do about it.

Crazy tough lady, you! I was in the ER after only three days of the same kind of headache, completely in la-la land. Some people, I guess, can handle these things a lot better than I can!

I'm going to Arizona for christmas but my disc drive still doesn't work and they didn't have enough time to fix it when I brought it.... meaning any new music I get? Not gonna be on my computer.

Oh, but I can fix it in Arizona! Problem? If it takes more than five days they have to ship it to me. That will take anywhere from TWO TO SIX WEEKS!!

ARGH!!

Thank you co worker whose name also starts with C. Thanks to your pathetic "I'm always sick and I'm calling in 2 days before Christmas" F YOU BITCH. Now, the chiropractor is closed for today and the next 5 days and I forgoed going yesterday because I had to cover your effing shift so now I'm in excruciating pain. And it's penny sale at work so that means twice the amount of heavy frames. I hate you so much, co worker. screw you.

Just stick a fork in me and kill me - I'm done.
