Why it's good not to moan all the time

I was in a really foul mood yesterday, far beyond the usual Monday morning blues. It made the whole day drag. So today, even though I was still in a pretty bad mood I decided less moaning & bitching would help the day go quicker. And it did. Not that I was moan free. That just wouldn't be me!

What's the point of sleep?

I didn't sleep well last night so today I am very tired. I've struggled all day at work. Tonight I'm so tired if I don't make myself do something, anything, I will just fall asleep then wake up ridiculously early and be tired all over again. Sleep is such a waste of time. It would be so much better if we didn't have to sleep at all.

Don't let the bastards grind you down

Last week was a pretty bad week for me at work.
This week, so far, has been slightly better.
Of course people at work have still got on my nerves with their unprofessional ways, inability to communicate effectively and most of all their monumental laziness.
However I decided that I was most definitely not going to let the bastards grind me down.
After all I work to live, I don't live to work!

I tried, I really did...

I tried, I really did, to have a quiet, stress-free day at work. I seemed to spend all day yesterday moaning and getting wound up by other people so this morning I thought to myself - enough, stay calm, just get on with the work etc. etc. But did the bastards let me? No, they fucking didn't. One after another they conspired against me to drive me fucking insane!
Still it's the weekend. Time to chill while I can because I know it will start all over again on Monday!

 

BASTARDS!

Fuck 'em all

Left the TMO committee today after 3 years of putting up with endless shite. No fucker even asked why. Fuck 'em! Ungrateful that's what people are.

As for work - don't even talk to me about the crap I put up with there. Some teachers have to be constantly spoon-fed like fucking babies. No wonder the children in this country are in such a mess. These teachers have the cheek to comment on their pupils inability to take responsibility for themselves and then want every fucking thing done for them - 'I can't open my excel file' WAH! 'Can you print it out for me?' BOO-HOO!

Wankers!

I'm back

Can't believe it's been so long since I had a bitch on line. I wish I could say it's because there's been nothing to moan about but every day, in every way life pisses me off. People, transport, politicians, the media, you name it, it gets on my fucking nerves. And the boredom. Fucking hell, sometimes I think I will die of boredom. Life, don't talk to me about life. What a pile of shit.

Moan of the year - I hope!

I have chickenpox. I'm hoping this is the worst thing that's going to give me cause to moan this year because I know there are worse things that could happen to me. I'm stuck at home, looking like a horror film extra, trying not to scratch and generally feeling like s***. I'm bored, tired and fed up. I never caught any of the childhood aliments as a kid. Can't believe it's finally caught up with me. Even though I know it won't last and in comparison to others I've got little to moan about I'm feeling very sorry for myself. F*** it.

An interesting article...

USA JAIL - SOME INTERESTING READING
TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO, HE IS THE MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF (ARIZONA) AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

These are some of the reasons why:
Sheriff Joe Arpaio created the "tent city jail" to save Arizona from spending tens of millions of dollars on another expensive prison complex.
He has jail meals down to 20 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.
He banned smoking and pornographic magazines in the jails, and took away their weightlifting equipment and cut off all but "G" movies.

He says:
"They're in jail to pay a debt to society not to build muscles so they can assault innocent people when they leave."
He started chain gangs to use the inmates to do free work on county and city projects and save taxpayer's money.
Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued for discrimination.
He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again but only allows the Disney channel and the weather channel.
When asked why the weather channel, he replied:

"So these morons will know how hot it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs."
He cut off coffee because it has zero nutritional value and is therefore a waste of taxpayer money. When the inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."
He also bought the Newt Gingrich lecture series on US history that he pipes into the jails. When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series that actually tells the truth for a change would be welcome and that it might even explain why 95% of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.
With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees just set a new record for June 2nd 2007), the Associated Press reported: About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed wire surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts.
On the Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing pink boxer shorts were overheard chatting in the tents, where temperatures reached 128 degrees.
"This is hell. It feels like we live in a furnace," said Ernesto Gonzales, an inmate for 2 years with 10 more to go. "It's inhumane."
Joe Arpaio, who makes his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches,is not one bit sympathetic.

"Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for parole, only to go out and commit more crimes so they can come back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things many taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves."
The same day he told all the inmates who were complaining of the heat in the tents:

"It's between 120 to 130 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and they have to walk all day in the sun, wearing full battle gear and get shot at, and they have not committed any crimes, so shut your damned mouths!"
Way to go, Sheriff! If all prisons were like yours there would be a lot less crime and we would not be in the current position of running out of prison spaces.
Sheriff Joe was just re-elected as Sheriff in Maricopa County , Arizona

Moan of the day 02/02/09

Today London has almost ground to a halt because of the 'adverse weather condition' i.e. snow. This morning I looked out at a very pretty scene but was not looking forward to going out in it especially as there were no buses running (my usual mode of transport to work). But I wrapped up warm & set off for work, braving the slippery pavements and the horror that is the Northern line. Now I left early and the journey to Morning Crescent was not as bad as I thought it might be, even if the 7 minutes on the indicator board was actually more like 10. Unfortunately when I did reach by work-place I discovered it was closed (I work in a school. I am not a teacher).
Well that was a bit annoying but worse was to come. The journey back home took over an hour instead of the 40 minutes it took to get there, mainly because there was a lot of people at Euston & the trains were few. It's the behaviour of some of the people that gets me. One train was coming out of service at Euston and despite repeated pleas from the station staff people still wouldn't stand back to let the train empty, just making the situation worse. And when I did get on a train nearly everyone was wrapped up in their own selfishness that just made getting on and off horrible for all. Good news for me is I don't have to go the work tomorrow & when I do I hope I don't have to use the tube again!

Moan of the day 28/01/09

I have a cold. I started to feel ill on Sunday & even though the worst is over I know I'm going to feel like s*** for a least the rest of the week. I hate having a cold. It makes you feel like crap but you know it's 'just a cold' and it's not going to kill you and you'll get hardly any sympathy.

Moan of the day 20/01/09

I was waiting for the bus tonight at an open bus shelter when some twat got his knickers in a twist just because an elderly chap was having a cigarette. He stood they waving his hand around and scowling. What an arsehole! Fussing over a bit of fag smoke while standing an a busy roadside with all the car, lorry and bus fumes. Get a f***king life!

Moan of the week 18/01/09

Mobile phones can be extremely useful. For example to let someone know when you're running late or to contact someone in an emergency. However I can't believe some of the one sided conversions I overhear. Surely no one needs to share every f***ing detail of their f***ing existence over the phone, in public? There is something seriously wrong with these people. I am sick and tired of hearing people gabber on and on and on about nothing. No one else cares about your sad little life! Please stop inflicting it's pathetic detail on the rest of the world!

Moan of the day 15/01/09

I must be insane - I've been to another meeting. Okay this one is called a steering group rather than a committee but it's the same f***ing thing. I must stop!

Moan of the day 14/01/09

This is not so much a moan as a warning - never, ever, join a committee. Nothing ever changes and you have the same discussions over and over and over again!

Moan of the week 10/01/09

I'm back. The reason I've not posted for a while is not because I've given up moaning but because I've spend so much time at work staring at the computer screen I just couldn't be arsed to go even switch my home pc on! That and the fact I'm a lazy cow as well as a moany one.

So what to complain about this week? Work, people, the weather? All annoying in their way but I thought why not moan about the fact that I can't have a cigarette in a pub or cafe or restaurant.

I know smoking isn't good for me but everyone has to have at least one vice. What pisses me off is that if everyone gave up smoking the government would lose far more in tax revenue than it would save through the alleged cost to the NHS. What's more considering there is always talk of a pensions crisis because people are living longer, the fact that us smokers apparently die young means we are doing the country a service! But what really makes me mad is the reason given for banning smoking in public buildings is supposed to be to protect the workers, yet every time I walk past a pub or restaurant I see the staff outside having a fag.
Tobacco is not an illegal substance so leave us smokers alone!
