An acquaintance of mine just lost his wife to cancer. He's got a 4 year old boy now with no mother. Bad days are relative.

Well, sorry that my day didn't suck enough. And sorry that I thought it might be okay to write about here.

I think he's saying that "bad" is relative...and it can always be worse. Get over yourself. [8|]


This just seems to be the month for bad things to happen. sheesh.

Even just going to my old pub last nite, started chatting with one of the waitresses there whom i know casually. Turns out she too.....only a day apart from my situation, just left her long term relation with her BFU and is living upstairs in a makeshift apt above the pub.....and this two weeks after two of her three pitbulls were shot and killed by a neighbor with too many firearms. Since she had to be the one to move out, she lost pitbull#3 so we are both pitbull-less in Seattle at the same time and recently single again.

What next......2012 zombie acopolypse comes early?

Good morning, brother comrade fruitcake Red Mouse. [:'(]

KeM's the fruitcake. I was an innocent bystander. [X(]
Clarification; When I use the term "fruitcake", I use it in the "nutty/wacko/'one beer short of a six pack' meaning. Not the sexual one. [;)][:'(]

hey!...i resemble that remark! [;)]

So have you Brit guys discontinued this practice entirely or is it now only a London thing? [:D]

I know! Let's have a suckiness day scale and only allow people to vent if reaches a certain threshhold.

Wait, wait! Let's have a suckiness competition each day and see who wins!

Or we could just let people define their own level of suckiness and vent accordingly.

Some days just suck, suck, suck.

End of rant.

I didn't get the job I interviewed for last week. Apparently they changed the job spec after they interviewed me to more closely suit an internal candidate. So that was nice.

Send them an invoice for consulting services for the day. Maybe they'll get the message and actually pat it.

Just philosophizing...not trying to denigrate your bad day.....more preaching to myself that my bad days might not be so bad.

It's always hard when any relationship fails, whether friendship or otherwise. Nothing unsucky about that at all. It's apparent you put value on it T, so I'm sorry for the break.

They actually asked me a question they didn't know the answer to. Weird.

It's okay, Mynok. I went off again, like with John the other day. It's just so unbelievably stupid how this shit happened.

I understand bro. You've got a long, long rope with me.

In my experience, stupid crap that causes rifts with friends often resolves itself as long as at least one side remains cordial and friendly.

With me, I invariably have to go look in a mirror and determine what idiotic thing I did to offend the other person and go apologize. Wish I had learned that earlier in life. There are a number of people I'd love to have a chance to say I'm really, really sorry to.

I have apologized three times already. She won't accept it. All I can hope for is that it'll at least be less icy between us after a while.

It was horrible today, sitting next to someone who used to be really friendly, and having this sheet of ice between us.

hell hath no fury........and they never ever forget a percieved slight.

I've known three formally close plutonic female friends of whom a disagreement/POV breach occured. None of the three ever spoke to me again. Nothing would fix it.

You should be very, very careful with the Plutonic females. They are naturally icy. [:'(]

Ugh. Been there, done that. Just be patient and continue to be friendly. She may get over it in time.
