Things that frustrate us all

Great. Another sharpe fragment of tooth pushing through my gum, snagging and scratching my tongue.

Do you have such a bad dentist? There shouldn't be any fragments after a decent treatment. Maybe you can sue him and get rich :D

frustrating thing this moring: waking up 2 hours before you have to get up. The instant you get drowsy again, you have to get up and go to work.
(Nice work today, though: got one of the best vehicles from the carpool, gotta sample only one very clean mountain stream and can go home early =) )
 
Myself. I frustrate myself.

I don't know if this really counts as things that frustrate us all. But if I do frustrate all of you, too, I'm not really sure I'm up to hearing it right now.

That would be nice. I am on the lookout for alternative income. Not sure that I could sue though, the teeth were removed in 1991 and it’s only now that they caused a problem. I managed to wriggle the second piece free last night. Hopefully that’s the last of it.

For all, we know the guy who did it, is retired now or even dead. Maybe you could sue his heirs. :D
 
I don't know if I cross-post at the same time as a lot of people or if my posts are just not interesting or if some (a lot) of people choose to ignore me in one section here, but it seems that a lot of my posts get ignored.

Not soul-crushing or anything, just a little irksome.
 
^that's really a tough one :(

You certainly don't!! As a matter of fact you are one of the nicest people on this board and you are doing a damned good job as a Moderator. You never lose your nerve and give in to the urge to hit the ban button. You not even yell at people. We're lucky to have you :)

Exactly how do you frustrate yourself? Do you have expectations you can't live up to? Most people tend to set their goals too high. It gets frustrating not to reach them. In my experience it's far more rewarding to split the big goal up into several handy sub-goals. Those are easier to reach and the result is a higher self-esteem. Success is the push-up bra for the soul ;).

My greatest feat of restraint today: when the dumbass rater, whose job revolves entirely around reading skills, asks me, "It says my accuracy needs improvement. What does that mean?"

That's it time to invest in a new dictionary. ;)

Try to enjoy it. The crap can wait. What counts is that you recover and get some strength back. No work is worth ruining your health for it.

For a while I got almost daily "we guarantee to enlargen your penis". The mails stopped immediately when I wrote back that I'd like to see them live up to their promises in my particular case (I'm female). :devil:

Thanks - took a 3rd day to make sure I’m not spreading it around.

*shudders*. I’m so sorry!
 
Sorry for the double post. I was afraid it would just be a wall of text

Some threads go fast and it’s hard to keep up. I think sometimes people do reply to the most pertinent ( to them) or timely posts. Sometimes I just leave when I’m a little overwhelmed by the flurry.

Likewise, I’m far too self absorbed to be frustrated by others.

Thank you all so much! I truly appreciate all your kind words.

This literally made me LOL, which is a rare gift this week. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I've had to step back a bit from sharing too much in the way of personal details, after finding out that occasionally some people will throw it back in my face in response to a moderator action they don't like. But just in general terms, it's around psychology. Suffice it to say, I am my own worst enemy, I make my own life much harder than it needs to be, my perceptions of self and others are not always grounded in fact, and I tend to inadvertently drive people away because of my own issues. And I get depressed because I intellectually know all this, but seem unable to change things any time it happens.

This has just been a very difficult week. But TBH, I've been through worse. And I know there are others out there dealing with much worse than I've ever had to deal with. This will pass.

(Maybe that was too much? Oh well, I guess we'll see.)

When you have serious financial problems and you are given the runaround. It sucks. No happy eastern for me!

Sorry, that does suck. I’m living off money I don’t have at the moment myself.

Really sorry to hear that you're both dealing with difficult financial issues. :(
