    The fact that I have to walk inside on a treadmill because if I walk outside in the heat I’ll get too hot and pass out, throw up or both.
    😒
    But you get to watch 90 Day Fiancé while doing it!

    Can’t watch tv while walking, just music. 😊

    When I, the customer, has to do the customer service. Why am I asking you how your day is going to break the awkward silence? Is it really that bad here at the Gucci store? A little pep with my $800 belt would be nice.

    Customer service in almost every instance has simply evaporated.
    Just simple manners seem to be too much for many to manage. 🙄

    These days I'm just happy that the salesclerk is willing to stop texting and put down her phone long enough to ring up my purchase.

    I’m sick of just water but I’m not allowing myself any liquid calories and I refuse to drink artificial sweetener ….

    I'm also sick of just water so I've started drinking raspberry lemonade water in a 25/75 mix. The calories are negligible and it flavors the water just enough. I also understand and agree with your aversion to artifical sweeteners.

    Look into flavored stevia drops! SweetLeaf is one popular brand.

    Have you tried frozen berries, ginger, lemons, limes, or mint? I get bored of water too.

    I just found out that where I'm living (and recently moved to) has decided to go under a mask mandate again because people can't be arsed to follow basic guidelines or common sense. So now EVERYONE must "mask-up", including those of us who were already fully vaccinated.

    I mean, I honestly kind of expected this to happen again, just maybe not so soon? Also, I just spent 24 hours in an airport where masks were mandatory AT ALL TIMES, so I'm not really pleased to have to go into that kind of environment again for the long-term just to do basic day-to-day stuff.

    What cracks me up is the CDC's recommendations are based on the fact that "D.C. is a city of concern". You don't say? There's several million people who work and live here.

    Guess it's back to social isolation when and if at all possible. :neutral:

    Ugh that is beyond maddening

    Inconsiderate people irk me today. I'm not offended; just annoyed.

    I have to drive 4 hours to the Denver Airport tomorrow to go home from a job I've been on here in New Mexico. My flight is at 11 am, which means I have to get up at 4am, to leave at 5, to be in the Denver area around 9am, where I'll return a rental car and then head to the airport. That's fine - it goes with the territory.

    However, I found out today that the 5 people here from the company I'm working for (I'm freelance, they are not) all have rooms at a hotel in Denver tonight. So they left here around 5 and are currently driving to Denver, where they'll get a good night's sleep and wake up at a reasonable hour for their 11am flight. Did they offer this to me?
    Would it have killed them to do so?
    :/

    Maybe they just aren't that into you. Why didn't you do this for yourself?

    Did it occur to you that I might not be allowed to do this myself? This client insists on handling all travel arrangements and won't reimburse for anything you do on your own. That's why. Am I not allowed to be irked by general thoughtlessness? And now I'm irked that I couldn't just vent about what irked me.

    Nope, didn't occur to me at all. But then you didn't include those details did you? You can vent all you want, don't let me stop you. I hope you have a better day.
