One of my “exes”/former friend (long story there) just texted me out of the blue after TWO YEARS of no contact. We had a small conversation and he texted after me that I’m not as “fun” as I was when we hung out years ago. UH OKAY. First of all it’s been two flipping years since we talked, probably closer to four since we hung out so my life isn’t the same at all! Secondly, how on earth do you even gauge that from a quick text conversation?? Lastly, if you think I’m boring fine, but why do you need to say it? Just stop texting me then.He’s such a jerk. I should have probably just ignored his message but I wanted to be friendly. In some ways it’s validated my feeling about him though. I often wondered if I was responsible for kind of pushing his buttons when we were together, but this whole interaction reminded me that he just does say really mean things unprompted.I probably won’t even respond. Like what do you even say to that anyway?
Maybe she isn't used to wet food or prefers the dry stuff. What if you only put out half a can instead of a whole one to see if she eats it all? Then you don't have to throw out half of it. You can save the other half for later.My complaint is that my brother (and maybe his most recent...baby mama for lack of nicer/more accurate term) is moving back home because he was (yet again) evicted (surprise surprise). My parents don't know what to do with him. I bought a lock for my door today because I don't want him pawning off my dvds, cds, video games, video game consoles, and laptop for drug money. My dad even said that as long as he was here they wouldn't be going to see any of my niblings sporting events in Wyoming because they can't trust him here and if they take him he'll just make the trip miserable. My parents actually agreed to make him sleep downstairs after I complained about having to clean the toilet every time I need to use it because he literally pees all over it, so at least there's that. I love my brother but I do not trust him.
I’ve had a bad day today.First I had to go into the office instead of working from home today, so I’ve been extra tired due to having to get up earlier than usual today.After work I stopped by a brewery to pick up a shirt they owed me. The brewery was on the way home from work, but it’s on a tiny street with very limited parking. In an attempt to find a spot I ended up in some tiny alleyway and as I was doing a 3 point turn to get turned around my tire got stuck on something and I ended up hitting the wall behind me when I hit the gas to try and get off. Luckily there doesn’t seem to be any damage other than a small scuff at the back of the car, but I was really scared I wouldn’t get out. Then I was leaving someone had pulled in behind me and didn’t leave a lot of room for me to back out of my space. After everything I realized there were 15 minute pick up spots I +ovule have parked in around the corner to get my stuff. Then when I got home I got a letter from my HOA saying they are going to impose fines on me for “landscape violations”. I have some vines that grow up my back patio wall, but they have been there since I moved in and presumably for many years before that because they were even more wild when I moved in! At one point a few weeks ago I will admit I had let them get unruly, but Ive since trimmed them way back to the point where you can hardly even see them over my fence. Other people have large plants in their backyard so I don’t understand why suddenly there is a problem. They add so much color to my backyard that I don’t want to get rid of them. I need to try and call the HOA I guess but I doubt they will give me any grace, it seems like they have decided they want the vines gone. I got new neighbors around the time the first complaint came in…..but they’re renters and I own so it doesn’t seem like they should have a right to complain? My patio is completely separate from theirs and the vines don’t grow over or anything. Their patio also looks like a hot mess where they are just dumping extra furniture. Maybe it’s not them who complained, but the timing is awfully suspicious…..
Not a trivial complaint, it remains to be seen whether it will be resolved.So you guys know that I didn't get to graduate in 2020 because of the pandemic, right?I've emailed the department a few times asking what is happening, with no reply.Much earlier this year I had an email saying it would likely be december, wait for further information.Today I discovered graduation is happening on Dec 8th.Only...I haven't been invited.They have not sent me any information about the ceremony, dates, ordering gown, tickets, any of that. Nothing. I am hoping to get my graduation deferred to the summer ceremony, but any chance I had to graduate with anyone I actually know has definitely gone now. Even all the students I taught have graduated ahead of me - except those I taught via zoom in the spring. I am really upset about this. Graduation is important to me, because even though graduation ceremonies suck, they're a rite of passage that cements an achievement. And it's not annoying enough that if I graduate in the summer, it will have no relevance to me - but that they didn't think it important enough to invite me to attend.I'm sure I just got lost in their email migration, but honestly, having to fight for everything is tiring and stressful. I didn't need to have to fight for this as well.What makes it worse is that all of this could have been avoided. I should have been able to graduate in 2019, but because the doctoral school broke a promise to me about expediting my thesis to the examiners, I missed the deadline. They were meant to do that so I could do my viva before one of my examiners went to Japan, but in the end he had to attend via skype. And all of this has happened because of them as well, because if I had graduated in 2019, it would all have been done and dusted by now.(Note, my school usually only does graduation in July, this dec ceremony is specially scheduled for graduates like me who missed out because of lockdown. Just apparently I'm not wanted there).
