by I thought it might be good for my health to have a nice holiday / end
of year moan about a few things. I highly encourage others to do the
same here as someone else's problems always make yours seem smaller.
So please post your general complaints, bitches, vents, or any other
negative energy that you need to blast out here.
So yesterday morning I pinched a nerve in my neck. At this point I'm
riding the pain horse through misery town. The pain at this point (day
2) would be akin to someone taking several
pair of pliers, inserting them into my neck, grabbing the nerve, and
then squeezing with all their might every time I turn my head. I'm
sure that if I had an MRI you'd see a huge, pulsing, kinked, glowing
nerve, covered in miniature demons with barbed hands and feet who are
climbing up and down it. My wife gets a laugh as I can't turn my head
very much, so I swivel around like Frankenstein or Herman Munster
(remember that three-step stomp when he turned?) when I need to look at
something.
Just to add a game-related moan, T2 scenarios have been terrible for
destro since the public introduction of the new class. I think
everyone rolled one, including the healers, since there are none
available. Although people have quite reasonable expectations in
scenarios. I can see why everyone complains in /sc that they aren't
getting healed. After all, one DoK should be able to heal the entire
scenario, no?
Finally, I'm just tired of Christmas shopping. Why, oh why, do we need
to buy things for adults? I already know I'm a pain in the ass to buy
for - if I want something, I buy it, so there's no list for me. Same
with most other adults on my list. Oh, and my kindom for a set of
lights that works for more than one season. I'm so fed up now that if
one single bulb is out, I junk the string and buy a new one. This year
I bought some LED lights, so hopefully they live up to their rep and do
indeed last for 10 years. I actually considered having one of those
holiday decorations places do the outdoor lighting for me this year.
The problem is that they're wicked expensive! The best I found was a
place with a $400 minimum(!), and it just went up from there. Now for
that amount, I would expect some live animals and dancing girls on my
lawn. Maybe a red and green statue of liberty with a burglar alarm and
laser eyes that can vaporize trespassers. Or perhaps if actual elves
installed the lights...
So to sum up my three gripes:
Ow, Goddammit, BAH HUMBUG!

The bottom is completely naked. I'm a very light sleeper too so I have no idea how he's getting them down.

). I may be getting some work under a different task order, but as of right now I don't know. Even worse, my husband will be essentially unemployed for the next month or so as he works on the college campus and his job will be pretty much shut down until the students come back. So, merry x-mas to us! My wish list turned into gift cards I can use to buy food and books for school.
