OT - Eff Off Friday

Aniki-Moderator's picture

Happy Friday, STalkers!!! Or Hallowmas, or All Saints' Day, or Feast of All Saints. I've certainly been doing a lot more praying lately with so many cancer victims and illnesses. Gaaaaaaaaaah!!!

Eff off to:

  • Cancer, that b!tch. I just learned that cancer has claimed another - one of my old schoolmates. DAMMIT!!!
     
  • Modern medicine failing. A coworkers cousin passed away from pneumonia. Yep. Pneumonia. Two days ago, he was posting on FB. He passed away yesterday afternoon. Forgive me, but this is a YUGE reason why you go to the doctor when colds, coughs, infections - ANY illness - linger on and on and on. 
     
  • Meetings scheduled AFTER work hours and for TWO BLOODY HOURS. Yeah. Because I want to get home 3 hours LATER than normal and try winding down. I supposed I should be thankful it's not on a Friday. Nope. Grrrr...
     
  • Toxic people. What the eff IS is with these effers??? Go find another sucker, asshat. I'm not letting you back in to my life. Please take a long walk off a short pier into the icy, roiling waters of Gitche Gumee. Nekkid.

 

That's all I have right now, although I might amend this list later as the day progresses...LOL

Don't forget to Fall Back this weekend! xoxo

Sorry to hear about your schoolmate and your co-worker's cousin.  I had pneuomonia with pleurisy when I was 18 and honestly thought I was a gonner.  It hurt to breathe for a week till the antibiotics kicked in.  I have had a vile flu as you know, Aniki, and while I am recuperating - slower than I would like - I am watching myself carefully for any sign of secondary infection.  Apparently there is a lethal strain of flu going around this winter.   I do hope that whoever scheduled 2 hours of after work meetings gets a big dollop of karma land on them!  

We "fell back" in the UK a week ago - I hate the autumn clock change, but love the Spring one.

that is interesting!  I never knew the UK did that!  Thought they were always on GMT.

Thank you, hon. I know you 've been sick. Please take care of yourself, Kes!!! xoxo

Ha, I don't mind "falling back". That "spring forward" where 4am is now 5am sucks rocks!!!

Yep this weekend is Awesomeson's birthday.  He and his bride are coming over for dinner.  Chef gets booted out of the kitchen!  It's my turn!!

That's awful about your schoolmate!  VERY sad.   And wow on the pneumonia!  I've had "walking pneumonia" and a few other times during my thirties were I was so ill and dehydrated the only thing I could remember was my social security number!!!

  Crazy

The rental property is coming along s-l-o-w-l-y and hope to have one sided rented by December although I was often told my real estate experts that good tenants don't move in the winter. 

Scratch one-s head

Chef's business is blowing up the phone!  I guess that is a good thing.

I hear other people saying they are going to a party or going to the woods, etc. for the weekend and I'm like "what's that?"  Even my vacation is work related.  LOL.

Happy bday, Awesomeson!

I've also had walking pneumonia and it's awful. 

Is it Dia de Los Muertos or an All Souls' Day party??

Happens to be my parent's anniversary.  62 years!

It was Halloween, we live on a private street, he had to go out. Didn't lock the door. He never does. So I lock up behind him.  He very sweetly brings home a late dinner for us but drops everything as he's getting keys to unlock.

And it's my fault. I guess I should have predicted when he'd be back. Oh HELL no. We rarely argue but it's frosty in my house.

Chef leaves EVERYTHING unlocked as he's from the country.  Even leaves his keys in the ignition and often his wallet in his vehicles as well.  Thinks I'm NUTS to lock everything up.  I've lived in some pretty rough areas so I'm used to locking stuff.   I guess Awesomeson is the same way as me and his bride is like Chef in that she is from a rural area and doesn't lock anything. 

HINT:  Get one of those numberpad locks. 

Biggrin

Same here. He was a country boy. I'm from blue collar burbs. I don't mind so much that he doesn't lock up but I do mind that he gets pissy when I do.

Good grief! DH and I are both in the lock-it-up-tight category.

Couldn't he have called or honked??

This is a constant battle in my house even after all this time.  DH grew up in a rural area and moved to the suburbs as a teen.  But for some reason it is a weird point of pride that he "grew up without locking the doors."  Well la dee f*cking da, dude!  That was the 1970's in the sticks.  Welcome to the modern world.  We live in a very nice suburb and that is a target for crime.  Why?  BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THE GOOD STUFF IS!

I grew up in the suburbs but moved to a major city after high school.  (I moved back here to be with DH since his kids were here.  I miss the city like you would not believe!)  Plus I come from a military/law enforcement family.  The idea of not locking the doors and windows is as foriegn to me as wearing a tube top to a funeral.  We have had some epic throw-downs on this subject.

Eff off to my bra. I am feeling crusty about it today. Remind me why they are even a thing anymore. I demand equal chest rights to men - no uncomfortable, expensive extra items of clothing.

Take it off!!! I'm now inspired to start my third blog for the day...

Eff off to bosses who think they know how to do every job and explain things to you like you're five. And don't seem to catch on when what you've told them, that they think is wrong, is reality so maybe you do know some things.
