Things that frustrate us all

Sometimes. Especially if they take place late at night.
Or when the printer or copier decides to clean or calibrate exactly when you need it.
What, it can't do that the other 99% of the time?

I know huh? Or when you're working on something important and decide to step away for a few minutes, then come back to find that the computer's restarted (and often times, you lose the document)
No for real, I hate the 15 minute timer, what if you're not there to stop it?! 
I wish I was dead.
Yea... that's the worst.Sometimes. Especially if they take place late at night

At least it's not as bad as it used to be, but it's still a wee bit annoying.

Neck Pain.
No you don't. It's dark and dull
PM me if you want to talk. I think you could PM anyone here and we'd try to help. You aren't alone. Really. We all struggle with stuff, and some of us have lived long enough to figure out how to cope. Not have the answers... just to cope. It'll be cool.
Flies seek cavities on living or dead organisms to deposit their eggs. There they are safe from drying out and from most predators.
You can switch the automatic update off and set the PC so that it alerts you of new updates which you can then install at your convenience.
It's foot pain week, apparently. I have a glass shard encapsulated in the arc of my foot. Must propably be removed surgically.You too? What do you have?My foot hurting.
I have plantar fasciitis. It's been constant pain for about 3 months now and I'm still waiting for the workmans comp dodos to approve it as work related.
Aww, that means a headache is almost pre-programmed, I suppose?
I hope you all get better really soon! *big hug*
Did you lose it in the street or at home? In the latter case, you could PM someone here your number and they can call you. Then you'll just have to follow the ringing.Losing my phone
{{{{{{{Fearless}}}}}}} don't let the depression rule you. Remember you have friends here who like you and who'd miss you terribly if you weren'there! Besides, you're far too intelligent to be an idiot and you're definitely not worthless or a loser to us.
argh of the day: a most disturbing nightmare about being tortured. Usually I just wake up and forget my nightmares but I seem to be unable to shake this particular one.
Six weeks now.
Death is overrated. There's no one to talk to. The last 24 years for me have been the most unpleasant of my life, but it's still better than the alternative.

You guys DO know you have the option of installing the updates manually, right? If you catch them on the 10th of every month, you don't have to worry about beng interrupted.
It took me a little while to catch on too.
^One more reason I'm happy I converted to Apple: it asks whether I want to update, and it doesn't do it until I respond. I think there's an automatic option, too, but I wouldn't dream of using it.
She's one of US now...
srsly though, I salute anyone who converts to the Apple fold. Well played! Windows is definitely one of the things that frustrates the living shit out of me, so I like it when others are spared from that kind of soul-crushing horror.
^ Oh, I've been in the Apple fold for years, since 2007. This just reminded me how much I don't miss the bad old days.

At home. Ended up getting a new one
.It's like that for itunes too (for the most part). It did try to get me to upgrade eventually. Waited due to some issues, ended up having to uninstall and reinstall to get it to download right. It kept on stalling during it around 75% (not this time around, but the update before iirc). Very frustrating.
As for a new frustration... just found out that Apple (DEAR Apple) has stopped making the Classic ipod. Well you guys... not everyone wants an ipod touch. I have NO need for any extra doo-dads. I only want to listen to my music. Not to mention I just got it last year. So it kind of ticks me off.
Also been hearing about people's ipods (Classic) being bricked by the more recent updates. It's even happened to people who have an Apple computer. Not looking good on them right now imo.
When I can't think of something I simply take a walk and use the first 3 things that I happen to see.
Example: *glances out of window* dandelion, dog, setting moon might give a nice ENT story about how on some exotic moon the Captain's dog spreads a mysterious fever that threatens to extinguish the native population. In the end it turns out to have been a galactic hay fever caused by dandelion pollen in the pet's fur (I trust the ENT does have an arboretum/garden? Alternatively, the crew including dog just come back from a vacation on some big space station that has one) and the doctor easily rescues the moon's natives using some herbal brew and a futuristic vacuum cleaner.
I was able to get two out of the tentative four projects I want to do; two short scripts. (Since I tend to relax or get ideas while playing video games, I think I was brainstorming while playing Star Trek Online...lol)
Now I have to come up with a short prose story idea and a teleplay or feature screenplay idea.
As I get my current projects together, I'm finding out I have a few recurring ideas on various pieces of paper (kinda like Richard Pryor having ideas for his supercomputer on various pieces of paper). Hence, I'm putting together a little booklet called a "Book of Ideas."
