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

Not sure how we got here, but you make me weary.

not worth it

I have a vested interest in all this. I donā€™t think I"m being snoopy, but your terse response suggests you think I am. Ok, ok ā€“ Iā€™ll back off. But I am still extremely interested and Iā€™ll just have to accept your rare and uninformative updates.

Iā€™m worried about this doctor appointment.

Dear my home country,
you are making it very difficult for me to love you. Clearly you treat your studying-abroad citizens like dirt. You donā€™t let us make your crappy identification code, and you donā€™t let us apply to Fulbright scholarship because I am already in US undergraduate? Other countries donā€™t have that kind of limitation.

Thanks for nothing!

Is there a statute of limitations on how long we have to hate on your ex?

I appeared in a linkedin job search conducted by my current employer. Hmm, are they looking to replace me?! Well, know you know that I am looking to replace you, people! :slight_smile:

Hey boss! Iā€™m retiring on Friday. Are you ever going to discuss the transition, or lack thereof, with me or coworker? You havenā€™t hired a replacement and itā€™s getting to the busiest time of the year. Surely you arenā€™t going to let her hangā€¦

I understand market correction, but this is a self-inflicted wound. Hope I wonā€™t have to work another year or two beyond what Iā€™m planning.

Welp the company medical appointment was a complete waste. They asked me when Iā€™m seeing my doctor, I told them and they say come back after that. This couldnā€™t be communicated over the phone?

In other news my mom and I had a shouting match because she thinks Iā€™m stealing her mail. Havenā€™t spoken to her sinceā€¦

You donā€™t have to watch Every. Single. Soccer. Match. they play in the World Cup. Iā€™m going nuts.

Ten years ago it was a biopsy and the wait for a mastectomy.

This afternoon it was a clean mamo and sonogram.

Itā€™s true-- sometimes there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Prayers for all those still hoping to find it.

TV and internet have been down for 2 hours so far after the storm. Actually had a conversation with DH!

Do you think the job is beneath you? What are you going to do all day, because my pay check canā€™t cover all the bills, and cable and WiFi are luxuries. Not like I have time to watch them while working two jobs.

Why does the only course that you need offered this summer stuff an entire semester into only two weeks? I told you it would be difficult, but you assured me you could handle it. Only half a week to go and Iā€™m worried I paid the tuition for nothing.

It has to get better soon, doesnā€™t it?

Had to use medical services in the foreign country where l live. Medical care is socialized and I am sure there are drawbacks, but it cost me the equivalent of $7.00 to see a surgeon for a consultation, and $16.00 for an ultrasound guided needle biopsy! The care was of excellent quality too. I kind of dread returning to the American system.

I. Hate. Bottled. Water!!!

Just because it worked out for me doesnā€™t mean I donā€™t still believe the push to force your kid into a bumper sticker school for the perceived prestige it brings is good for anyone.

What is it about our neighborhood Facebook page that invites near-constant controversy!!! I really hoped, now that school is out for the summer, our community could take a break from the snarky, preachy, issue-baiting posts and comments that continue to divide us all but I see now that was a false hope. If we canā€™t find a way, in our own community, to debate our issues in a civil manner then I donā€™t know how we ever will resolve the issues we are facingā€¦ Sigh.
