Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

What unreadable Roman Numeral are you up to now? I never accurately remember numbers that big.
You know if you put a bar over a roman numeral, that multiplies it by 1000. So for instance Ī = M. That might help you.

Being forced to work extra hours because your company always waits until the last fucking minute to prepare for an audit that they've known about for months.
Dave's age is basically a random Roman numeral with a stack of bars on top of it, like a pictorial representation of a tower of pancakes.
EDIT: Whoops, sorry Cheesy, quite the mood whiplash there.

Roman numerals:
I = 1
V = 5
X = 10
L = 50
C = 100
D = 500
M = 1000
T = 5000
G = 10.000
R = 50.000
K = 100.000
Z = 500.000

α = 1.000.000.000.000
β = 5.000.000.000.000

Ω = Dave's age in years
So, anyway, I was considering repainting my corner in lavender, what do you think about these color samples? I'll be spending plenty of time here to do it.

My mother passed away this morning
Yes, it’s only a whine because she won’t be here any longer. We had a good relationship, and we’ve lived in the same town for over 25 years. I’m happy that we were able to get everyone of the family that wished to see her in to do so. I’ll miss my mom, but I know that I feel fine with where we were at as adults.

Man, I am REALLY tired of other people's kids this week. Not all of them; some are lovely and a lot of fun. But some kids just DO.NOT. LISTEN. Are there parents that just don't set boundaries or rules? Man, it is like "Future Assholes of America". Santa, please bring extra coal.
Meanwhile, I think my kid needs a couple more gifts. I didn't realize how good we have it.

Another day, another consultant fucking everything up and then vanishing into the ether with his money, leaving others to fix his shit.
In a month I'll either be in a new position in my company being overworked, or I'll be unemployed because I couldn't cut it.
The Good: I'm off now until January 3rd on vacation - YAY! 
The Bad: The furnace has decided to go kaput. Heat exchanger is leaking, pilot light fried the controls, and we have no heat (except for an electric fireplace and a small space heater).
The Worse: To replace the furnace, we have to go with a completely new system (furnace & heat/AC pump) since the old furnace was - get this - the original unit for our nearly-50-year-old trailer.
The Ugly: Said replacement will be north of US$9k

Yikes. You sure you can't just find the parts to replace the controls, etc.? Some of those old units had pretty standardized parts or you can get them from junk yards.The Good: I'm off now until January 3rd on vacation - YAY!

The unit was built about the time I started second grade. It has tons of rust and oh, did I mention it's a gas furnace, which means it could make the place go BOOM! very quickly?
In case you don't know what that would look like, let me show you another house in my park that had a little issue:

The above picture happened a few weeks ago, about 2 AM. They literally ran out of water fighting the blaze.
I'm, uh, guessing switching to non-oil heating would probably cost more? Could you switch to electric, maybe? That would probably cost a lot more than replacing the system for $9k.
We are swapping to electric from oil and yes, it’s less in our case.
I am medicated and may not be responding correctly. I ordered a lot of pink pens.

Gas, not oil. Choices are gas or electric, and electric costs in the Valley are redonkulous during that time of the year.
My SI is being a real jerk after this procedure and is taking longer to settle down/heal.
Don't think of it as firing another guy, try to think of it as making room for a new sexy coworker.
Psht, we've been trying. We recently arranged an interview with another hot girl but she no-showed.
If anything, my mojo's growing stronger. I'm now repelling hot coworkers before they even get to the interview stage.
*Sigh* It's looking increasingly (currently at around 98%) likely that this New Year's gonna be virtual again. Even if we can actually get together, I'm not sure I'd want to. Too many vulnerable people and risk vectors to be comfortable.
We're technically allowed to meet up with other people at home - all hospitality has to close by 23h and strictly limited to 6 per table/group.
So half my friends are "oh we're meeting up with 25649747 friends at our place, we'll make a huge party out of it! It'll be awesome!" (sometimes with the suggested self-tests before and after attendance etc, sometimes very clearly without), and half my friends are "we'll be staying home all by ourselves, maybe we'll dare open the windows to shout a happy new year to the neighours".
The amount of people showing a reasonable amount of sense ("we'll meet up with one or two other couples and try to keep our distance a bit") seems to be very, very small.
Yeah, in our case the main problem is that we'd be taking public transit to get to Quebec City (roughly six hours via train) and then using cabs to get around once in said city. Winter weather in Canada isn't ideal for driving, y'see. My parents are old, my grandma's older still and my mom's diabetic on top of things. So that's really looking like an unacceptable level of risk to me.
At least we'll be able to see my wife's family, since we're close by.

...Yeah, I wouldn't call "6 hours PT to meet up with 4 high-risk people in a busy environment" the greatest plan.
Life just gave me the same early Christmas present it's given for the last 6 years or so: a cold.
