What's upsetting you today? - Page 280

Cancelling thousands of dollars in loans for a previous year (therefore, not my error) which I tried to save by contacting the students. There is no going back: it's done, finito, fini...dilly ding dang done.

But, I bet they get the letter telling them they owe the institution money, even though numerous contact attempts to get a new promissory note went unanswered.

I was able to save a few of them who responded.

ya did what you could do - its still their responsibility.

DanaC · 06-15-2009, 06:03 PM

Oh that's shit Shawnee. It's not your fault, but I bet it still feels awful

Shawnee123 · 06-15-2009, 08:40 PM

I know, and, but, it sucks ass...what a shock to have come along? Every key stroke I'm thinking "awwww, fuck." The bad news part of my job is the suckiest, and something I still haven't gotten used to.

DanaC · 06-16-2009, 06:10 PM

*shakes head* not a pleasant task by any measure.

Hang in there hon.

Awww, thanks guys.

I still haven't finished that project as another project's priority suddenly grew and took on a life of its own. Never boring!

I'm so upset I'm eating a massive piece of chocolate cake with cream on it as I type this.

First of all, my MIL is a cow. I just have to say that, and soon you'll know why.

My brother as you may or may not know is a chiropractor. He specialises in rehab therapy and also does a lot of work with kids with various physical disabilities. That's just background so you'll understand why I take his word seriously. He and his wife baby sat for us last weekend for a few hours, and when we went to pick Max up, Don (brother) said that he's got some issues with his breathing which is possibly caused by (some long words) the brain not sending the right messages to his body. So anyway, today I went to his clinic where he works and he brought in one of his associates and they did a thorough work over on Max (who I might add took it all very well). Anyway, there's no definite diagnosis of course at this stage, but there are some therapies I need to do with Max in the short term, and then Don has recommended that if they don't make a significant difference over the next few months, he'll need to see a paediatric neurologist which leads me to the next part that's upsetting me.

Did you know that there is currently research being conducted about the flat spot lots of babies get on the backs of their heads because they're always laid on their backs? Apparently it's being linked to behavioural problems and a number of other physical issues. I have yet to look at the research, but I fully intend to do so. It makes a lot of sense. Apparently the flattening (it is suggested) causes some parts of the brain to 'malfunction'. So anyway, it has been suggested that Max spend a lot of his play time on his belly, and to get one of those sleeping things which keeps them on their side.

So basically, I'm going to be positive about all these things and do the therapies and see how we go. Just for now though, I'm upset about it all. I need time to process it.

Aliantha · 06-16-2009, 11:27 PM

Oh...about MIL. I told her about it all and she basically said I was an idiot.

Fuck her.

Aliantha · 06-16-2009, 11:52 PM

Oh and here's another thing. I was supposed to be going to my aunt's place for lunch on friday but I can't now because someone her son works with has whooping cough, so they've all been told to quaranteen themselves till further notice.

I'm not going to even say what I think about that!

Actually, this could also go in the what's pissing you off thread.

Our yard is infested with chiggers, which I forgot. So now I'm infested with chiggers.

Our front porch, all along where the roof meets the wall (roof-line?) is infested with fire ants and 2 nests of yellow jackets. Which I have to try to spray pesticide on, while trying to keep from getting bit, or getting pesticide on myself, or breath it in. There will be a few spider causalities as well, I like spiders, but it can't be helped.

Friend died. Had a brain tumor which was found in late January. Malignant and inoperable.
He decides he can't take it and euthanizes himself with a mega dose of pain medication. I can't blame him, but his family is really upset. Left behind three kids. He was only 40 years old. May he rest in peace.

classicman · 06-22-2009, 07:02 PM

So sorry to hear that. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

limey · 06-23-2009, 02:21 AM

So sorry, cap'n. A loss from suicide is so very hard to bear.
