The Trivial Complaints Thread ... #3

[Ponybookworm]

When people can't knock loudly & my doorbell battery (the small one, not the ones for the receiver) runs out, I will miss packages despite being home... I heard the van slamming doors & departing but no knocking at all...

^ I hate that. Delivery people rarely ring my doorbell.


On top of all my bodily complaints, now I'm having trouble with my other foot. My bad foot is the right one. The left hurts a lot today. I think it's from the way I sit at my craft desk. My bait bin is under the left side, so I can put my leg up on it. If I want both feet on the ground I have to scoot over a bit and I get in an awkward position. I could move it. I like it there because it's so accessible. Plus, I put my clay bin and wire/jute/chains/ribbon bin on top of it and I'm in and out of those all the time. I could rearrange my bookshelf to keep those there... sigh, I don't know. I wish a had a proper room for my arts and crafts.

Back to my foot. It's swollen today, red, and the hard parts on the bottom (heel and the upper part... ball?) are super sore. It's hard to walk with that, my other foot and my back and legs being in pain all the time.

overseas shipping prices are frustrating. i see ponies i want but the shipping costs are more than the item. if it's a few harder to find items it can justify the costs but not for common ponies. even if they are is great condition.

Tip: when massive layoffs are happening in your field. maybe stay off social media for a few days.

For some reason, I'm noticing more and more true crime books have covers that look like crime fiction. I don't like crime fiction, I'm a true crime fanatic and it can be very deceiving to pass a book that looks like any other 'this-girl-got-murdered-'orribly' tale only to find out it's actually a true crime book! Don't hide these books, I love them and hate seeing the same fiction over and over and over again!

I walked in to a store today and had to walk back out because the store smelled strongly of something like cigarette or cigar smoke.  Cigarette smoke is one of triggers and I usually start coughing the moment I smell it.  There's a no smoking in public places ordinance where I live, but the smell was so strong that I wouldn't be surprised if

I wanted some books at the store.  The first store I looked at had them, but the spines had tears at the top.  The 2nd store was supposed to have the books in stock, but when I looked there I couldn't find them, I checked the store app after I got home and according to it, the books I was looking for were in a separate aisle, and not the one with the other books in the series.   I can get them somewhere else, but this store had a better price than I would pay elsewhere.

Also, my internet has gone out 5 times today.

Update, they redelivered the package, & it's back to the treasure hunt method. Neighbour's shed, but at least I could get it xxx

Well I got to keep my job. Apparently, crying infront of your boss is a good thing.

[BlackCurtains]

Oh, I'm sorry you were made to cry but yay at keeping the job

My legs are really bothering me. I think I posted about this already? *looks up* Sort of, yeah. It started with my foot but it's the whole leg now plus my hip. It's very hard to walk. My back and neck and wrist/thumb still hurt too (always). I read an article that said you can recover from the damage your body gets from sitting a long time by getting up and taking a brief walk. I already knew this, and I do that, but I lose track of time and should be getting up every hour. I need to set a timer to remind myself.

Also, trivial but an emergency at the same time - I need chocolate!

not happy you had to cry but happy you get to keep your job

BC, the same thing happens to me. especially when i'm on the computer for a long time. sometimes when i stand up it hurts. i'm trying to get better about walking around more during the day. i have a standing desk but it's hard to type while standing. i can't get a lot of productive work done while standing.

the weekend went by too fast. i'm already tired.

[Ponyfan]

Two work assignments I had got cancelled.  I picked up another one and that was cancelled too.  To be fair the on the last one the person emailed me and explained why it was cancelled and the supervisor called me to make sure I knew, but it still stings a little.

One of my Yona of the Dawn DVDs has a crack in it.  It still plays perfectly though since the crack is on the plastic part and not on the playback surface.  I haven't had that set out for a while so I'm not sure if the crack was there last time I used them or not.  I'm always really careful with my movies.

I'm so sick

It's getting worse as the day goes on.

[Heart Of Midnight]

BC, Oh no!  I hope you will feel better soon!

I'm just still really tired. 

My uncle is still in the hospital. He has pneumonia. My mother and brother went to see him on Sunday. He was very frail looking, pale as a ghost. He is still on supplemental oxygen. He may never make it back home. 
He was really happy when they visited him and brought him chocolates and buns. They promised to go see him again soon. Fortunately, my uncle's son also visits him almost every day.

[BlackCurtains]

Thank you. I'm feeling better after a long nap, so I think the worst is over.

I'm so sorry your uncle isn't doing well still

the meds make me feel like I am Alice in Wonderland... it's not pleasant... but my leg is healing!  well, My husband insisted that I put gauze over it and not poke at it, but hopefully it's healing.
