The Trivial Complaints Thread ... #3

[Beth3346]

sending you positive thoughts, Ponyfan.

i've been feeling a little down for the last couple of days. i didn't get much done at work yesterday. i'm off today to take care of some personal stuff. i've also been rearranging stuff in the house. i do that sometimes when i'm anxious.

also, it's so disappointing when i see a pony i want on eBay at a reasonable price but the international shipping is too high. the search for another Baby Bridesmaid still continues.

I'm so stressed out about money, I hate it. I need 100 bucks before the 16th. I've got $14 in my account. My mom has even less. I've got a bid on one of my Argies on eBay for 80. The auction doesn't end until the 17th though.

I'm going to try to complete a few customs today. I'm waiting for the mailman to come get a package (it was a $7 sale, so not very much) then I'll get started.

My two meds that needed prior auth still aren't ready. I need them so bad. I'm so tired/fatigued I can't keep my eyes open. My mom says 'go to bed' but I don't like sleeping through the day because I like to work on my art in natural light. My light situation at night isn't very good. It's true though that i seem to have more energy at night and it's easier to stay awake. I think I have delayed sleep phase syndrome and have had it my whole life. I used to give into it when I lived with my parents and sister, I would wake up around 6pm and go to bed around 10am. It worked out well.

But yeah, I need to make some things to sell.

*big to Ponyfan* I hope everything gets sorted out soon. That's the problem with medical stuff, it doesn't usually help to look it up, but you can't NOT look it up when you're worried, right? x_x It sucks.

I knew AO3 was getting DDOS'd by some nuts but I didn't know other sites had been hit too D: What the heck.

Beth3346 - Sending hugs for your husband + hope his surgery goes well (I just realized you said this in the other thread, oops.. hope it's okay to post it here ), and to you as well <3
yess I hate it when international shipping is so high! SO many times I've seen great deals but had to pass up on them because of the insane shipping. I know from experience that international shipping can be stupidly pricey but sometimes you see listings and you're like, come on, that price isn't right. x_x I feel like it just gets more and more expensive every day.

BlackCurtains - keeping my fingers crossed your meds come in ASAP and that things work out money-wise for you

Well I got a letter from my insurance. They've denied both new medicines They cite "not medically necessary" for both, plus some other stuff like you haven't tried a generic/cheaper version first. I sent a copy to my psychiatrist, maybe she can fill out some paperwork or something. I was so looking forward to the Sunosi

BC refer to WYP for my reaction, & I hope your people come down on the insurance peeps like a ton of bricks!!!

I KNOW we're not allowed plastic stuff, but having the odd wooden fork available instead will do wonders for people who are out for ages & don't realise until after they get it they don't have a fork on them.

Lots of hugs to Ponyfan and BC (and everyone else too!) 

The flu is over, but there are still pains in the area of my right side. I can calm it down almost completely with painkillers, but I only take them when I have to leave the house. When I'm at home, I can take it easy and avoid sudden movements. On Wednesday, I'm supposed to mow the grass for a long time, but I think it will go well because there's no need to hurry.

The little toe is no longer painful, but its nail is still standing higher than the nails of the other toes. I have not dared to cut it any shorter. I'm afraid it will cause pain and blood again.

thank you for all of the kind wishes for my husband the first operation is next week. we're just anxious to get it over with. it will be nice when he can see well again.

@HOM i'm glad your flu is over. hoping the pains go away soon.

My complaint for today is having to repeat myself over and over. i'm not sure why people can't just scroll up in their chats or emails to read where the questions were already answered. of course i don't say that and i just nicely repeat myself when inside i'm fuming.

[BlackCurtains]

I hope everything goes well for your husband. Eye stuff is scary.

HoM, I'm glad you're finally over the flu! Take it easy with that side injury.

My complaint is my mom. She accused me of "abandoning" her. Everyday she asks how I feel and I tell the truth - most days I feel like complete crap. I told her my right hip has been bothering me and it's hard to walk, also my dizziness has been worse lately. But because I haven't been to visit her in a while, I've "got other priorities" and "she knows she comes last".

My complaint is about my cities transit system. I do not want to drive/could not afford a car on my own (and we don't have space for another one in my families home). So, I am reliant on our less than optimal (sometimes dangerous) bus and LRT system. I want to go to a convention here in the city since I have never been. Plugged it into the maps app, and it gives you the driving route as default. If I drove it would take 20-25 mins to get there. Bus? 1 hour 20 minutes on a good day with no major interruptions like traffic. If I miss a bus (the buses here never run on time so its a greater possibility you'll arrive late and miss the bus if you need to change) then it takes longer because the bus only comes every half hour to an hour.
I knew our city was terrible at the bus system (terrible at a lot of things that would benefit the public) but seeing that in writing just makes it seem worse than I thought it was.

I saw my mom today. She actually apologized.

My current complaint is the BEEP BEEP BEEP of this machine outside. It's a portable scaffold? I guess? One dude is manning it. It beeps constantly. It's right outside my window. It's going to drive me mad.

Dear drivers:
Please be more attentive on the roads, especially during high-use times like evening rush-hour.
Because your stupidity traumatised & delayed a bus driver indefinitely, causing disruption to the service said driver was trying to provide. That incident, which was probably caused by stupidity or negligence, meant this bus driver, all the passengers waiting for the bus they were driving, & various other road users, were held back & delayed for ages from getting home. I haven't looked up the incident yet, but one of you drivers was most likely the cause of it. I don't know if anybody was hurt badly or worse, but I do know such a thing would have involved police & clearing debris from the road so as not to cause damage to other vehicles, hence, extensive delays during that time.
Sincerely, one of the passengers of the bus you delayed.

Sending hugs to you all! If I had to complain about something, our fridge just went out, and now we have to go out and buy a new one.

[BlackCurtains]

I'm so tired! I hate it!

[Ponybookworm]

Read up on the incident (the one delaying my bus): It put a woman in hospital!!! Hope she recovers & suffers no lasting damage xxx

[BlackCurtains]

I heard some news that made me incredibly upset It's about animals dying so I'll put it in a spoiler.

Spoiler

There was a fire at a Florida wildlife sanctuary and 250 animals died. They are investigating the fire, it happened at 3am. Most of the animals were former pets who were too much for the owners to handle.
