It really is, there's a horrible atmosphere in this house right now and the kitties are hiding, other 3 birds are quiet and subdued no playing or tweeting.
I don't know what to say or do. We had only had her 2 weeks but the lil Bambi eyes birdie had us hook, line and sinker.

oh honey, animal carnage is awful, we have to look our lovely companions in their faces and say "I see that you are an Animal, no matter how you have fooled me into thinking you are a Pet...." It doesn't make the sadness any better tho, but do try to forgive Luther, who is just following his biological imperative....  Sorry Cherry Girl! |

I know there's nothing to forgive and have tried to explain that it's all he knows to do, but for Nat he's becoming more and more of a problem she can't stand the sight of him any more. He is a problem child of a cat. She is trying hard to be convinced by my explanation that unlike humans he doesn't know malice, only instinct. In weirdly coincidental hindsight, yesterday sis was talking to a colleague who explained how he hates cats now after his kitty killed his beloved parrot, he had his cat rehomed and won't touch them now.
Now poor Alfie bird is being bullied by the 2 girl budgies, looks like Mia acted as a kind of buffer, being his sister and being quite nice to him. I'm having to consider getting another male to balance it out as the 2 females are strong characters and he's likely to suffer as a result. It feels wrong to just pop in and buy another but it's only for his sake at this point, not for my guilty conscience.

Me too. I will let her pick a new bird if she wants to. I thought I took things hard but when something gets to her it really hurts her... I wish I could make her feel better.

#3 endo can just crawl up and die for all i care (so much pain lately)

WTF! you don't say that to your FIANCE', to me thats like saying, meh im only with you because i feel like i have to be now... or your a pain in the ass and i want to be selfish and do whatever i want again and your in the way. or meh we have a kid, thats why im here still. wtf is all i can say... i told him that was by far the most rude and mean thing i have heard come out of his mouth. and he said dont take everything to heart tara.

Cant' you report them to the IRS? I know the IRS is hard to call but if you can get through the long wait for a human, maybe they will tell you what you can do when your employer won't give up the W2. They are required by law to have them to you last month. So you are within your rights to demand that they follow the rules! Or maybe the IRS can get it for you.... On the other, men, they are known for saying asinine things in the heat of the moment that on reflection they regret later.... still sucks, but I bet half the ladies on here have heard similarly asinine comments at some time or another.... so that's all I got on the men, meh, who needs em....  |

Sorry to hear about your situation Cherry. I hope things work out with you sis.
As I predicted I started my period yesterday. I'm a little over a week early though and didn't even finish up my last pill pack. The pain hasn't been excruciating, but it hasn't been easy either. I spent most of the day after work at my boyfriend house. It drives me crazy that he doesn't get it or how much pain I'm in. I know he tries, but he's not always the most empathetic person in the world. I'm emotional and all over the place. Physical therapy is doing a number on me emotionally. It's bringing up all this stuff I wasn't expecting. Oh well I'm just going to take his suggestions and do the best I can to get through the next few days.

This is the first month in a while where I haven't taken time off for the pain/generally feeling crappy (I looked at my sickness absence and it's always around this time) so yay me but I've had a vexatious day with people making arguments out of nothing, creating drama out of thin air. We all felt it in the office today. Must be some pre-Valentine curse day or something. People expecting miracles for problems they created or lying outright then saying 'are you calling me a liar'
But yeah right now I'm sat here and keep finding that I'm frowning and keep wondering 'what is wrong with people' I'd love to switch off and just go to bed but it takes me a while to wind down and my pain threshold is near, I don't want to dope up on morphine but it looks necessary.

F*ck my stupid job. As soon as I have my f*cking gallbladder removed, I'm gone.
The raise I was promised? Didn't happen. HR "wouldn't authorize it," according to the guy who "thought he had the authority" to grant me said raise. I had to wait three weeks to hear it, after moving to my new position. I really think they just told me what I wanted to hear, because they wanted what they wanted. Additionally, the girl who was also doing the same job (they've needed at least two of us for over two years) was goaded into quitting. The whole thing was f*cking engineered. They've been kissing my ass, and I'm going to hold on and hope I can get what I need to do DONE, before I walk, before they do the same f*cking thing to me.
Also, three dudes from work BROKE MY CAR. Yes. They broke it, pushing it out of an ice/snow rut. I now have TWO large pieces of my car in my back seat. F*cking idiots. Dunno if they've ever had a f*cking physics class, but they sure as hell need one. Or, some common sense.
