OK here's a vent.

I went and saw HP and the Half Blood Prince today. The scenery in the movie is fantastic and fun to watch. What's going on in the background is much more interesting than the movie itself. But the movie is another highlights from the book deal. If you haven't read the book I expect you would not really have a clue about what is going on. Not to mention they waste a lot of time and footage on scenes that were never in the book. I can almost point out where the extended scenes will be added cause the editing was atrocious. Fortunately I didn't waste a lot of money on this. Buck and a half. Over all it was disappointing and definitely worth a vent.

I am sick and tired of doctors who can do absolutely nothing to treat you but then turn around charge insurances hundreds of dollars for taking their time

Im even more annoyed with public servants who waste their times. Particularly district attorneys who are dishonest so they look good and judges who think they can do whatever the hell they want simply because they are on the bench.

Im also annoyed with myself for never following through with little projects i know need to get done. I need to just just grr. going to do some laundry.

I hung-up on a client today because he was being a total ass while I was trying to explain a problem I discovered in his case that will result in dismissal! An easy problem to fix...but Noooo this Idiot wants immediate minute details which I didn't have at the time, while on some cheap damn cell phone that was impossible to hear. He didn't care about the fix!

I'm still angry!

3 people at my job have been fired in the past few weeks, everyone is on edge it seems like alot of people are falling apart over the work pressures and calling in sick all the time, and then I have to pick up the slack and now they are requiring mandatory overtime for 4 weeks. Im annoyed at how some people are perpetually calling in sick and nothing is done about it and meanwhile me and a handful of other people have to cover everyones shifts.

My husband is a financial adviser. He looks after people's money and gives them investment advice and the like.
My husband does NOT work for the government, nor does have any say in policy decisions.
So why do stupid people call up and bitch at him about the economy, or their investments losing money?
Sorry, pisses me off.

Yah that sucks Gabs. People need someone to blame. Happens all the time here at the hospital I am at. Just because I picked up the phone apparently I know every little detail or everything.

[Kathianne]

I frazzled, freaked, fried, and exhausted.

Since school got out 6/10 have been cleaning, schlepping stuff to storage, cleaning, throwing things out, cleaning, taking a 3 day class and writing paper, cleaning, shampooing rugs, cleaning, washing windows & walls, cleaning...

Today the realtor came for second walk through, putting on market next Friday. Need to buy interior doors in white and hang. He thinks it will sell within 3-5 weeks. Say a prayer! I'm about to fall over!

Kathianne that sounds more than a bit exhausting.
I told my husband to take care in choosing a home. Because I do not intend to move again while I am alive and breathing.

Thanks Gabby. Indeed, especially at my age. My sons couldn't understand how I could go like gangbusters for a day or two, then need a day to recoup. Truth is, this place 'got away from me.'

I moved in 14 years ago with my youngest in 5th grade. I was still going to court at least twice a month, because of the children and their dad. I was working 70-90 hours a week to pay the mortgage and tuition for two in parochial schools. I was still selling insurance for State Farm then.

Two years later, got 'this job', that I still have. Sort of cleaned up with that, working just one part time job then.

Then came my parents moving in. Along with a 24 hour nurse. 7 people in town home. Hospital bed in living room. At that time I doubled up the boys and I went to basement, my dad to 3rd bedroom.

A year later, daughter left for college, moved dad into her room, I moved upstairs to master bedroom, oldest son moved to basement. My mom still was in living room. Caretaker stayed with her on sofabed. Wheelchair, and commode in living/dining room. Curtains hung between to give privacy.

A few years later, mom had to go to nursing home, daughter and son in college. Down to 3 at home, but my dad was becoming ill. We had many good times, my mom and us before she became 'too sick', my dad after, but they were both ill for much of this time. Paramedics had our home down pat, could get here in under 3 minutes-good location. or perhaps ?

The day after my dad's funeral we found out my nephew had a brain tumor, while there have been many ups and downs, he's alive so we're happy. At the same time, not much was getting done around here, until I plum ran out of money to keep it going. I thank God that I got my kids raised and through school, now what happens for them is up to them. Please let me sell the house and make enough to have 'something' in the bank or under my mattress.

I was 'always' obsessive about cleaning, until it became impossible with hours of work and too many people. When my parents passed, well seemed too much to dig out from. Somehow I've now done so. I asked the realtor today if he smelled cigarettes? He said, "I just smell bleach and other cleaners." I've caught up.

Wow Kathianne you have had alot of responsibility !!!!!! It is understandable why you feel exhausted, my house is messy because I don't feel like cleaning ha ha. I feel sure that your house will sell and that you have earned the best times in life still to come. Now your kids are grown and you are free to do whatever you want. This is a time for you to really feel freedom & and individuality. I can't wait to see where life takes you, where you move to what your new place will be like, new job, new husband/boyfriend whatever......wink wink

Thanks Chloe. I'm sort of bemoaning my losing it for so many years, yet standing in awe of how I was able to pull it together again. Will I be able to sell before bankruptcy? Please, Lord. So far haven't missed payments, but I'm going to have to tell creditors no more, until after 8/31, next time I get paid. If I can find a job in the next 2 weeks, that would be great, but not likely. So, I'll spend my time updating my resume and applying for the year after this.

My parents still live in a house intended for a family of four. I am convinced that the reason that they won't move to a smaller and more manageable place is that no one wants to deal with 30-plus years of my pack rat dad's accumulated belongings.

Between college, getting married and moving a couple of times, my husband and I have weeded our possessions to the bare minimum. My daughter has more than both of us put together and she has only been here a year. But I suppose that is the way it is supposed to be.

Two very busy days so far this week..

I told someone to pay their bills today (long story she deserved it)..she said I should be more professional. I guess she wanted stroked for being a total IDIOT and opposing a court order!...Chit happens.
