And put a sign on it saying the fence was built by the Bluth Company.
It's the American way!

My right arm was paralyzed for over 20 minutes last night. I think it's because I'm not dealing with my emotions about the holiday season.
I've been in full snark mode 24/7 for the last week and a half. It's THE ONLY way I can deal with the holiday season, short of alcohol.
Usually when this happens to me, it's because I let it hang off the bed without realizing it.

Not the same thing, at all.
I wanna fist fight CLIMATE CHANGE right now. It snowed and then rained the next day. That NEVER happens here.
Now I'm dealing with inches thick ice on my driveway.
Fuck this bullshit. This is after salting and scraping and chipping for several hours.
Fucking rain in December. COMPLETE bullshit. My neighbors probably thought I'd lost my mind as I muttered curses at everything I could think of while working today.

Underling #1 (the new guy who replaced my previous #1) isn't progressing as quickly as I'd hoped he would have. A lot of the problem is he shares an office with Underlings number 2, 3, and 4, and Underling 3 is really cute and Underling 4 is an incessant chatterbox. Either I or my boss have had to gripe at #1 four times this week already about talking instead of working (as in, not even facing his computer, but stopped, turned his chair around, and chatting for 5+ minutes at a time). I'm still having to help him to get all his stuff finished on time.
Had a meeting with the GM about it. We're gonna try moving him into an office where he's alone and see if it gets him to focus more. If this doesn't work, it might be time for a Come to Jesus Meeting, to get him to realize he needs to be trying harder.

Why is high quality make up so expensive?!
It wears longer, it’s less likely to cause dermatitis, gives better coverage, has better color consistency from batch to batch, is more likely to not be contaminated, etc.

For some reason, the video has no sound on my phone, so I can’t watch it.
You get what you pay for with makeup. The higher end brands get you better coverage, higher quality pigments, higher quality ingredients which make it better for your skin and less likely to cause irritation and/or other skin issues. This all costs more and is worth it. It also looks much more natural on.

I got into a loud argument with the village idiot here at work today. I was waiting for her to finish making copies, and I was running late to boot. She finished and hit the "OFF" button and then turned it back on, which takes a while. All she had to do was hit a big yellow button that says "Reset" to reset the settings for the next person.
I said "No, don't do that!" showed her how to do it properly. She came back with a snide "That's how I do it, and that's how I'll keep doing it. There's more than one way to skin a cat."
I looked at her and said "True, but one of the ways to skin a cat takes longer and messes things up for everyone else. Just hit the yellow button. Right here, see?"
She starts yelling about how I can't talk to her that way, she won't stand for it, and I shouldn't yell at her. At that point I'm just pissed but trying to keep my cool, so I told her I was just explaining it to her and talking at a higher volume because it was loud. She just points at me and repeats that I won't talk to her that way and storms off. All this happened in front of other staff.
This woman is a pain in everyone's ass all the time. She is an idiot who is convinced that she just sees things in a different, special way. She's constantly doing dumb shit. And she talks shit about other people all the time and holds grudges. I'm sure I'm now on her shit list and all of her little teacher clique will go on and on about how I'm some sort of asshole.
I wish I could just tell her to fuck off and be done with it.

Well, stupid and wrong IS different from correct.
I'm confident that hitting a single button to reset it is better than shutting the whole thing down and rebooting it because you can't be bothered to learn how to do things properly. It would be like shutting down your computer because you want to close a window on your browser. True, it gets you to the same result, but it is wildly inefficient. And fucked up if someone else is waiting to use the computer.

Why haven't you? Seriously. Worst that happens is HR tells you to knock it off, best case is your coworkers agree she should. Or is she actually valuable in some way?
I mean, technically, cars are built to turn off the engine at red lights in California now.

I want to preface by saying that I know how shitty this sounds.
Why does my good mental health give everyone around me the freedom to just fucking unload? Because I'm not posting memes about anxiety or blogging about depression, that means I have no problems and therefore get to be everybody's sounding board. Because I like to smile, I must not get overwhelmed. I literally dont know how to tell people that they're drowning me, because I love them, and fuck me, I guess.

It's not shitty; you're not their therapist.

Thanks. The thing that feels shitty to me is that I'm also complaining about people who are very loud on social media about mental health. And it's not that I dont feel for them or understand that my tough times are different from theirs, and probably not as bad. I just get a little annoyed sometimes that, because I dont wallow in Facebook and Twitter, people assume that I'm okay and available to hear all their problems. I totally get the value of people sharing their experiences publicly, to make others feel less alone.
The loudest people sometimes miss that silence is also saying something.
My dog is dying. I’m not sure he’ll make it to Christmas.
Why does this year have to end so badly for me? It fucking sucks, I’m a wreck, I want to cry and never get out of bed again.
And I thought 2017 was bad, fuck me.

I understand how you feel. My dog Molly died right before christmas a couple of years ago. She had started having seizures, to the point that I was a little relieved when she finally passed since I knew she had been in pain before that.
It sucks, there's nothing else that can be said about it. Just know that we're here for you if you need a hug, or to vent, or just to cry.
