I feel like crying my eyes out for no good reason really.

Thanks for asking.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Super!
Thanks for asking.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Glad to hear it.

You're welcome.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I feel I deserve better.

― Harold Media (kenan), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I feel hungry and restless, and still annoyed from nearly eating a wasp this morning.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm bored and aggravated. Even more annoying, I'm too scatterbrained to make myself do something that will solve the problems I've identified so far. Sucks to be inside my own head.
:^P

― j.lu (j.lu), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I was feeling okay, then I wasn't feeling quite so okay, then I felt okay again. My hands and arms kinda ache, like they are rusting, hmmm, not nice. Right now, I feel hungry.

ps. hope you feel less like crying soon penelope.

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been feeling slightly sick all day. I've been drinking too much recently, what with it being summer.

― Wooden (Wooden), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:46 (twenty-one years ago)

achy too much coffeee

Autumnal. Kinda.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Thank you, Jel. Actually, I DO know what's making me feel so sad. A beautiful, gifted, clever, 14 year old girl I know, died last week from cystic fibrosis and I just can't manage to shake off the tragedy of it all and the what's it all about questions.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:49 (twenty-one years ago)

:-( I'm terribly sorry to hear that, Penelope. Sounds truly awful.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks, Ned, it is, especially for her devastated parents and brother left behind who also has the disease.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

*shakes head* I have no philosophical advice to give there beyond platitudes -- so I will spare you them.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I feel ok, a little frustrated and under-monied perhaps, but it feels like I've finally shrugged off my inertia and have some (eventual) direction and possible happiness on the horizon.

― cºzen (Cozen), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

cranky, jealous and groggy before I got to my new apt and took a nap. Now I'm dandy. Sleep is good.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

pissed off

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

and VENGEFUL

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Against?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

YOU

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

AND ALL YOUR KIND

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Overwhelmed. Disconnected. Exhausted. Gassy.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:01 (twenty-one years ago)

no, just work people, actually

sorry if I scared you, Ned :(

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm headachy and overall-achy and tired, but I keep grinning anyway. Just...because.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been in meetings for two days straight so I'm tired and bored and sick of people.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:05 (twenty-one years ago)

i have been feeling really stupid lately

― g--ff (gcannon), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:27 (twenty-one years ago)

shitty.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I feel awful. I don't know why. Just overwhelmingly sad and depressed and nostalgic and lethargic.

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I feel awful and I know why, which sucks.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm anxious. stressed. my grandmother is getting worse (i just found out last night from my mom). i don't know what i'm *doing* with me life.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Paranoid as hell because Ghana could be shaking and earthquaking "any time from now".

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I feel like kyle.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 17:57 (twenty-one years ago)

OH NO I'M GONNA DIE OH NO

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm just feeling blank. I wouldn't mind a big iced coffee type of thing. And a nap. And a hug.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Last night I had some weird emotional breakdown and then couldn't sleep and then ended up sleeping on the couch most of the night and woke up with a headache...which makes it weird that most of the day I've felt more alert and awake than usual. I, uh, actually feel pretty good. Huh. Maybe I need to sleep less.

― eat fudge banana swirl (Nick A.), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I recommend and endorse Sony's "Playstation 2" product.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

You can all e-mail me your woes and I will reply back with an e-shoulder to cry on.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I recommend and endorse Google's fabulous new "Gmail" service.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Exhausted. Overwhelmed. Manic. Slightly dizzy. Wanting, more than anything, to run away.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't fear the Reaper anymore.

― andy, Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:21 (twenty-one years ago)

It's almost like *I* posted this.

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, I made myself respond to two job ads; this represents a baby step toward solving one of my identified problems.

In the meantime, Penelope, a decent young person dying under particularly pointless circumstances is a legitimate reason to want to cry.

― j.lu (j.lu), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 19:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I spoke too soon about being dandy. Annoying patrons and (for the lack of a better phrase) stinkin' thinkin' are status quo enough that it won't necessarily wreck my mood, but someone just dropped off three books that smell distinctly of KFC.

I didn't need to be reminded of how good chicken is.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 19:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Remember, chicken is good.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I HAVE NO ACCESS TO THE COLONEL'S WARES!!! GAHHHHHHH!!!!!

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

No one has e-mailed me looking for an e-shoulder. I was looking forward to bringing cheer into the world.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

mandee, how about e-buttz

I should email Mandee but I'm feeling too lousy.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 19:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Right now all I'm giving out is e-shoulder, Jon.

Stence, tell me your woes.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

tired, achy, and congested, but i've got a spring in my step because my temp assignment just ended and unless instructed otherwise i have JACK SHIT to do for the rest of the week. i just cracked open a beer.

the bad news is that i had received a message asking me if i wanted to make $85 for a two-hour focus group thing, but when i called back to say hell yeah i'll do it, they said they were looking for women who'd just gotten married. i should have lied. fuck.

Oh kate, I hope you're ok!

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Monday, 6 September 2004 11:19 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, jeez. kate, if youre still there i hope you're ok. it could be ok to see joe, as long as it doesn't make the situation worse!

can i meet you when i'm done for the day? if you're near old street at 4:30 you can watch and laugh at me while i have my picture taken with the biggest zit ever on my chin!

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 6 September 2004 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm really sorry Kate. I've had similar news today - I guess if I'd managed to get to work today I wouldn't have got the message that my godmother and favourite aunt has died. She was the member of my family I liked best, a bright and lively woman, and I probably talked to her more than my mother or brother. I've been so bad with panic attacks lately, and missed so much work, that I don't think I can sensibly expect to make her funeral (near Bristol), which makes me feel even worse.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 6 September 2004 12:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't beat yourself up about that martin, I'm sure she knows you'd be there if you could.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Monday, 6 September 2004 12:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Because I am actually feeling better about my life than I have in some years, I will send my good thoughts out to everyone else on this thread who is bumming out, dissatisfied, angry, sad, sick scared, and/or bored. Strength to you all the same way you have sent strength to me in the past when my depression and self-pity and inability to sufficiently appreciate my life's good things have kept me down. I hope everything gets better for all of you.

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Monday, 6 September 2004 14:28 (twenty-one years ago)

bleh. i've suddenly got a cold and it stinks! it came out of nowhere and i'm tired and congested and feel rubbish. boo.

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 9 September 2004 09:45 (twenty-one years ago)

i've got yet another stinky headache today. :-(

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 9 September 2004 09:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I had an amazing Labor Day and have been soaring with happiness all week, but now that I'm back home my mood is in the toilet. I gotta go to work now but I just really wanna stay home and sleep.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 9 September 2004 09:52 (twenty-one years ago)

i've been tired all week, but feeling a lot better today. still not 100% though. it's the annual september season change thing i think.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 9 September 2004 09:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Downhearted by the sad news around these parts as described by Martin and Kate above, and by Mark S elsewhere, though on a personal level feel pretty good and refreshed.

― Donnie Smith The Quiz Kid, Thursday, 9 September 2004 10:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Feeling more than OK today, mainly because I'm bunking off shortly for a long lunch with Ken & Starry, and planning to indulge in DVD pr0n in the huge-ass Virgin Megastore after work. I called my mum last night and she asked me how work was going and I got slightly grumpy (not at her) because I had to think about it and realised that I'm pretty dissatisfied employmentwise. Like most ILXors, seemingly. Gah. Small potatoes compared to family mourning though. You people keep on trucking, and I will provide cake to those I see regularly soon. And irregularly, but you know what I mean. Ah sod it, I'm out of here.

No Ken. not actual Pr0n. Jaysis.

faking it?

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 9 September 2004 10:08 (twenty-one years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 9 September 2004 10:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Irritated, tired, thankful to a friend who really shouldn't have to put up with it.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Thursday, 9 September 2004 13:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I had a really shit day and I knew from the second I woke up that I would. I hate the company I've been temping for; I hate the way they treat their temps; most of all I hate my sexist, mean, money-obsessed prick of a coworker, whose rudeness I've been tolerating but I finally got fed up with today. I told my agency I didn't want to go back there tomorrow or ever again; my agency begged me to go in for one more day and promised they'd "make it up" to me. I really feel like hell.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 9 September 2004 21:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I would get sloshed tonight but I'd rather save the money for my road trip.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 9 September 2004 21:17 (twenty-one years ago)

i am feeling Conflicted.

i just got let go/fired for the first time in my life, which is bad. but i was horribly bored here anyway. but it paid really well. but maybe now i'll get off my ass and find a better job. but this isn't a very good job market, is it? but i'm going to see the orioles-yanquis game tonight. but the traffic is going to suck. but it's the weekend.

fooey.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 10 September 2004 15:13 (twenty-one years ago)

damn, sorry.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 10 September 2004 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a weird feeling, despite feeling better about things today than I have all week, that I might get sacked today too.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 10 September 2004 15:15 (twenty-one years ago)

i had just gotten over the whole "when they ask to speak to you privately they're gonna fire you" thing, too. i let my guard down.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 10 September 2004 15:17 (twenty-one years ago)

anyway, i will toast you with my first beer at the ballgame tonight, hstencil

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 10 September 2004 15:18 (twenty-one years ago)

ah cool dude! if I make it out tonight and end up drinking, I will do the same for you!

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 10 September 2004 15:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm curiously elated today, and I've got The Horn and I don't know why, because nothing's really changed in my life. It's just an oxytocin high or something.

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Friday, 10 September 2004 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

i blew off work and now i'm home playing the new rogers sisters ep at top volume. brooklyn trucker-hat postpunk >>>>> crappy job.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 10 September 2004 15:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm feeling tiired and sleepy, having just completed my first week in the new job. As I was out of work for six months or so, I'm not really used to the effort involved.

(plus, my previous job was a 10am start - I even got told off once for coming in 15 minutes early. Now I'm here at 8.30, which (on public transport) means leaving home at 7.20)

I also have The Horn. Dammit.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 10 September 2004 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

What an inconvenient time to get the horn!

I'm supposed to be going to rehearsal now, but nope. I'm randomly googling photos of dirty rock boys. Oh dear.

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Friday, 10 September 2004 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

never seen the Rogers Sisters wear a trucker hat! Still haven't heard that record, tho.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Friday, 10 September 2004 15:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I was suicidal yesterday. But as I'm not even thinking of work anymore, and had a long talk with _Daddy Dearest_ that didn't end up in an heavily-accented shoutdown, so am feeling kind of Much Much Bettah today. We'll see how long this lasts.

I send my most positive work-related thoughts to both mookie and hstence, as I have been where both of you are at the moment. Quite recently, as a matter of fact. And also just heard of another friend getting sacked yesterday, and he didn't even work for Delta; it seems to be teh trend this week. I'm contemplating starting a Getting Fired Mutual Comf0rt Thread.... but that would require me to regularly check ILX... and then my new happy mood would probably tank. Hmmmmm....

― Vic (Vic), Friday, 10 September 2004 15:42 (twenty-one years ago)

nor have i, but their fans sure like to wear them!

I am trying to figure out how to get myself off the internet once I check my e-mail when I wake up. I'm wasting all my post-wake/pre-work (which is a large block of time thanks to my schedule) on my new DSL hook-up.
