Say it here cause you can't say it directly- the get it off your chest thread (Part 1)

We’ve had a relationship for just over 20 years, but you’ve finally pushed me over the edge. If only you were capable of treating me better. Amazon, you are out of my life!

Word of advice to wait staff . It’s in your best interest to make sure that you’re meeting the needs of everyone at the table . You never know who’s deciding how much your tip will be . Don’t think I didn’t notice that my order was the only one that you screwed up and the only glass that went unfilled at my table where I was the only female.

My daughter is flying back to her college today. Our son left Wednesday (it took him 36 hours to get to Beirut, due to two flight cancellations caused by high wind). The house is too quiet!! It will be nice for the kitchen to stay clean, though. :slight_smile:

Why can’t I just move on ?

Customer Service: If you don’t know the answer to my question, please answer: “I’ll find out and get back with you.” I’m really tired of hearing “I don’t know; Is there anything else I can do for you today?”

USPS, you managed to lose TWO separate packages in a row! You better find them or I will file a suit.

You’re like a band that knows only one song.

And that song is “Achy Breaky Heart”.

I knew there was a “wrong” thumping in the washing machine. I did not expect to find that an entire avocado had been loaded by some family member in scooping up laundry from the “in/out” ledge. To my washer’s credit, only the pit and peels were left (!) but yuck, we had to redo the load.

Sad how you lie about things and then tell the polar opposite story a week or two later. I worry for you, though this not the stuff that makes for a strong friendship.

Two weeks of all Superbowl, all the time. Gah. Believe it or not, media, there are people who don’t give a crap about football.

They must pump chloroform into the Planetarium. I have never stayed awake through one. :slight_smile:

How the heck am I going to get a new job at 58? Because it is so close to being necessary …

I am usually a much better judge of people. I am disappointed in you and in myself for not seeing the real you.

A standing ovation for the Alaska pilots who helped get the plane off the ground on time with their unconventional problem-solving. When the FAs discovered that catering did not bring any water on board, the pilots decided not to wait for the procedural bureaucracy wheels to get moving. It would have taken the catering almost an hour to fix this mess. The pilots quickly ran to the gift shop across the gate and bought a bunch of water bottles! The plane took off almost on time and landed on time!

This really wears on me. I work nights so when the managers round in the AM they walk past us like we don’t exist!!! REALLY…we just stayed up 13 hours at night keeping patients alive. Think that earns a good morning :slight_smile:

That approach does not help. And you did not intend it to help.

When you come up with an idea/suggestion, it would be great if you offered to handle it instead of trying to give it to people who are really busy

I can’t believe how bad architectural drawings have gotten. Things like MANY strings of dimensions not adding up to overall dimensions. What the heck? With CAD drafting, there is absolutely zero excuse for that. Now I have to clean up their mess. :frowning:

There are some days that I just wish I could retire now, have my insurance taken care of and then get a low key job like packing groceries. Today is one.

In the last 48 hours, I learned that one good local friend is moving a thousand miles away for a necessary job, and another friend whom I’ve known since we were 12 has pancreatic cancer.

I suspect old age is going to be an uphill slog against depression and despair.

I’m obviously not feeling very positive right now.
