    There is a local glossy magazine that comes out (I think) quarterly, free with the newspaper, that does features on local events, businesses, community trailblazers and leaders, that sort of thing. It has pretentions to being swanky, there's a wine columnist and usually there's theater coverage and gala charity events. It actually does a good job of presenting my city as much more sophisticated and cosmopolitan than it really is. :D

    Until the latest edition. Article about a new business opening, discussing the construction aspects, numerous references to a local well-known construction family. Every single mention of these people in plural got an apostrophe S when there was no possessive involved i.e. "the Smith's worked tirelessly...."

    Passive aggressiveness. But, that irks me everyday. It shows weakness of character.

    Feeling out of sorts days, when Murphy & his bloody law won't give it a rest.

    Today, my alarm didn't wake me cuz I accidentally kicked out the power cord in the dark in the witching hours & woke up at 1pm, not 7am.

    My phone wasn't working, neither was either laptop... reboots & nonsense all around... then all 3 quickly "died" as I just moved & misplaced the chargers, so I couldn't work.

    Found all chargers later afternoon... it's now 10pm & I've still got 2-3 hrs more work to catch up.

    I'm tired & wanna go to bed... I also want a do-over.

    Beautiful day, so spent several hours outside raking, gardening, etc. So focused I forgot to drink water. Pretty sure I'm dehydrated and have mild sun poisoning. Also, how on Earth do you log taking a pick axe to the rocks we call soil for an hour, thinning (and cursing at) and transplanting (and more cursing at) garlic for two hours, digging up rocks you found via your pinky toe bending back and you felt a pop....also, laundry ?

    A co-worker who starts every single e-mail with "Happy (day of the week)!"

    Not like in a sarcastic way, like "Happy Monday, here's all the crap that's going on..."

    But sincerely wishing us a "Happy Tuesday!" Tuesdays are never happy.

    She also wishes us "Happy Budget Day!", "Happy Reports-Due Day!", etc.

    Maybe I'm just old and cranky, but this level of enthusiasm makes me want to chuck my laptop across the room.

    Same here.
    I never had issues with allergies until around 50.
    Strange and annoying as hell.

    Thanks! I filled the prescription but I'll most likely live on extra strength tylenol.

    The pain is just so irksome because my "anything is sustainable" exercise to be able to eat 2000ish calories a day suddenly became my " until it's not". 😀

    At least you're smarter than me, I didn't go in for bad abdominal pain and it turned out my appendix had ruptured. Oops.

    Feel better soon. Feel better enough to be able to exercise soon.

    I went to Lowes to buy some flowers to plant and they didn’t have hardly any flowers at all.
    It looked like everyone in town had gone by and bought everything.
    Now I’ll go by the nursery and buy what I wanted but pay at least twice as much.

    Maybe I'm just having a bad day, but the fact that Istanbul coffee shops don't seem to open until eight or nine AM. Like, what planet are you Turks living on?
