Sidney is screaming and I don't feel like getting up to feed him yet.
My kid's cat has disappeared and I don't feel like worrying about a cat.
I prefer Thanksgiving for the family gathering bit.
I don't want to deny anyone their joy of Christmas, but I don't want to be forced into acting like it's a happy time of year. Christmas is just too stressful to really be fun anymore. Torn between traveling to two families in two states that are nowhere near each other, the cost of travel, the cost of gifts, the weather sucks (which affects my bipolar), the fact that my Christmas break falls in the middle of the quarter (and not at the semester break as it is for others) so I have grading and prepping to do and lasts only two weeks (and my husband's is even shorter), we don't have kids so it's just not worth it. People are already starting with "what are your plans?" and "what do you want?" What I want is to be able to curl up in a ball and sleep through the holiday and not spend a ton of money, but that's never going to happen.
I'm not a fan of xmas. I like the drinking part and the extra days off. It's for sure stressful and people act like the shops are shut for a week. So annoying!
Jen, you are not alone, I know of many people who feel the same as you.
Halloween is better.
Anyone who says onions make you cry has clearly never been hit in the face with a turnip.
My middle daughter said last Christmas that this year she was not leaving her house. If we want to come there we can, otherwise, she'll see us later. I don't know if she's standing by that or not but I completely understand her feelings. I want to do the same.
Also, I hate when people say "it's a family time". Not for everyone it's not, some people don't have families or speak to their family. I know of a few people who consider it the loneliest time of the year.

fuck xmas. any holiday in my family was always about my grandmother being a dramatic bitch and ruining everyone's lives. it was never a particularly happy time in my household as a child or as an adult. not to mention that it comes right after 12/22 which is the shittiest day of the whole year in my world.
it will be interesting to see how this xmas goes now that my grandmother won't be around to ruin it. last year she told me she would never get me another xmas gift, i guess she was right for once as she pretty much told me that every year of my life.
Has anyone booked through Ryan Air for Europe stuff lately? I haven't since like, 2007, and I booked a ticket but haven't received a confirmation email. WTFFFF Ryan Air.
Here's the Website with contact number's. http://www.ryanair.com/en/questions/contact-numbers
It's like when I say "I can't find my keys" and someone asks if I checked my purse. WHAT THE FUCK WHO WOULDN'T CHECK THEIR PURSE FIRST.
I got an email from work this morning that seems to have set the theme for my day. In a nutshell I had emailed and pointed out that something is being done wrong and got an email back instructing me on how to do it. Um, yeah. I know the right way. Otherwise, I wouldn't recognize that OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING IT WRONG. I rewrote my reply like 10 times so I didn't sound like a total bitch, but damn, it's just insulting.
So when the poor soul at the library told me that there were 36 inches in a yard I kinda lost it.
"Can't get no respect". A lot of people are complaining they cannot connect to sites on their phones, and I thought this was the case.

Wut, I stated that my issue was that I paid for the ticket, and was told 'it's not confirmed until you get a confirmation email' and then never got an email confirming. But my friend booked his and went through the same thing.
did you check your spam folder, bowie? sorry. i have no advice but um, good luck?
dttam: a number has been trying to fax my office for at least a week. calling the number does nothing. yet it still tries to fax. every few faxes or so, it will call with a message on how i should set my fax machine to accept faxes when i hear the tone. THERE'S NO FAX CONNECTED TO THE SWITCHBOARD, ASSHOLES! STOP TRYING. sheesh. someone needs to invent a stop fax code.
I actually did check spam because that was the first thing that occurred to me. Everyone I talked to said that Ryan Air is just stupid so hopefully all I have to do is print it out and fight it out with them.
