I'm going to punch someone at work today, I can tell.

are you grumpy too?

― DV, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i am monumentally depressed.

― anthony, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What's this "I'm going to, I can tell" horseshit? Just GO AHEAD AND DECK SOMEBODY!

― dave q, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My life is a ruin = I am grumpy

― RickyT, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I hate my job, so I've decided to leave in six weeks regardless of whether I have a new job or not. But, I'm not really grumpy, more defeated than anything.

― jel --, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm on top of the world looking down on creation...

― Pete, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey, don't tell me what to do you cockfarmer!

― DV, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

at work I'm going from depressed, grumpy, annoyed to mad.

at the moment I'm cynically bored...meanwhile clicking at ILE every 5 minutes, hurray for ILE!

― erik, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm updating the phone book on the intranet, yay! :(

― jel --, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

im having the best day today - ile, ilm and ilmicheal jackson - its simply the best (bugger thats tina turner)

― mervin, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have loads of things to do and shouldn't be on the boards , feh. I'm just very demoralised (crap job, other jobs keep wanting degrees or they = moron jobs, feel very sick but can't afford any more time off, broke) so I won't punch anyone. UNLESS THEY SPEAK TO ME. Feck off perky new gurl.

― Sarah, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Go and flush the new girl's head down the bog, Sarah.

― PJ Miller, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

im sorry i've stepped into your nihlistic lil lives - but my life is super

im about to move in with my girlfriend to a kicking new house (im a boy)

my job sucks and im about to quit

i figure two thing to really look forward to

so sorry miss pissed but if i feel like expressing how good i feel today then i will so (sticks out tongue in your directions and blows a fat raspberry)

― mervin, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

sarah and p j millar - go fuck bitches

― mervin, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ahem - I meant the 'perky new gurl' who has just started work (hence 'new') in my office, and keeps being annoying and laughing at everything whilst I'm trying to get out from underneath mountains of paperwork. But cheers anyway.

― Sarah, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oh bugger sorry - thought you meant me

― mervin, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm totally alone in the office today. That's sounds like fun maybe but it is not, because I do not have much to do. It's boring.

I stay awake merely through ILE now

― erik, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i am home alone trying to insert an important explanatory section about NOISE w/o blowing up my Keep-It-Cryptic centres

― mark s, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's a sad day as most people are bored @ work hence they are on here!

― Sazzle, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

where are funny voices when you need them: Matt doing an Irishman in bed, Melissa doing Satan, we could make a ILE radioplay!

― erik, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm in college being indignant at the lecturer who fucked up my result and then sent me "information about repeat examinations" after saying my result had been changed.

― Ronan, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

not as grumpy and miserable as me

― Graham, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

if anyone cares

― Graham, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

or me, giz a job, I can do that.

― chris, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That was the new girl I meant too, Mervin.

― PJ Miller, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me!

― The King The King The One and ONLY KING, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Received two different offers of freelance work today - best news I've had in ages (even if one of the commissions is for the WORST lad's mag in the world.) Going for a curry tomorrow to celebrate my birthday, Boredoms on Saturday - it's enough to blot out all the misery. So, erm, that's my 'advice' - focus on a few gd things, displace the shite in yr life.

― Andrew L, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Work is poo. But I guess that's why they call it work rather than, say, fun.

― Jonnie, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hahahaha, the ghost of kafka looms largely over this thread as the man wrote in his diary: miserable at the office again, but that's what it is supposed to be, that's what offices are meant to be (another non literally quote)

― erik, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

are you grumpy too?
No, I am not.

― nathalie, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

OK bad kafka impersonation but I stick to it!

― erik, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You know I was in quite a good mood before I read this thread (tho god knows why...) but you're all bringing me down, man. I feel like I want to go hit something now. Can someone start a "GOD I AM SO HAPPY THE SUN IS SHING THE BIRDS ARE TWITTERING AND I GOT MY ONIONS LAST NIGHT" thread?$^%&(?

― Steve.n., Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Actually I meant to write SHINING, but I think i prefer SHING.

― Steve.n., Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i just bought myself a chunky kit kat and feel fine again. goooOOO comfort food!

meanwhile, my french co-worker is just after buying a croissant and a dairy milk, has cut open the croissant and put the dairy milk inside and is now eating it and it is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen *slaver*

― nickie, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Today I am tired and over worked. I died my hair yesterday and it is now a rather violent shade of red-orange and I look like a riot grrrl (comin' straight from '92). Mistake. Have also realised that running across the nice young man I met at Glastonbury is not going to happen without hardcore stalking which is not my thing. (And even if I did he would say: "although the last time I saw you you had been living in a field taking drugs for four days, at least then you didn't look like Melissa Auf Der Mayer circa ten years ago.")

― Anna, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, I just had hot chocolate, but that doesn't alleviate the problem of the buses being completely fucked up this morning and me getting in late. GRG!

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well as I said before, I'm feeling rather perky and fancy going to see a film now. Anyone want to see a film with me. You have about ten minutes to say yes.

― Pete, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My riot grrrl hair and I will be stuck in work for a very long time both this evening and next. Blah. (NB this also counts me out of any suguested pint ideas)

― Anna, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, if only the hair could come on its own. I think the pint was for next Tuesday anyway.

― Pete, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am in a good mood but I keep getting nervous stomachaches (I know they are nervous because I get them whenever I think about something).

And I want to see Anna's hair, I do not know what riot grrl hair looks like.

― Maria, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm still grumpy!

fuck the lot of you! Bastards! etc.

― DV, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(pete, i think toby meant tuesday as in tomorrow (or today) for that pint) (not sure if i'll make it myself now)

― jel --, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

LET'S BREAK STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go on.
― DG, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, if we're all in such rotten moods (me, because I didn't have any work today), perhaps we might try invading some other group?
― j.lu, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i was really grumpy last night, seething with resentment, but after i talked to real life human beings i am not grumpy anymore. well except my holidays have finished and i really hate being back at school and need another two weeks of holidays please.
― di, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's just one of those days Where ya don't wanna wake up Everything is fucked, everybody sucks. You don't really know why But you wanna justify rippin' someone's head off No human contact And if you interact your life is on contract Your best bet is to stay away mother fucker! It's just one of those days!
It's all about the he said she said bullshit I think you better quit lettin' shit slip Or you'll be leavin with a fat lip It's all about the he said she said bullshit I think you better quit talkin' that shit
It's just one of those days Feelin' like a freight train First one to complain Leaves with a blood stain Damn right I'm a maniac You better watch your back Cuz I'm fuckin' up your program And if you're stuck up You just lucked up Next in line to get fucked up Your best bet is to stay away motherfucker! It's just one of those days!

what lyrics iz thoze chupa?
― halo halo, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

that would be Limp Bizkit if I'm not mistaken.
I cheered up yesterday, a lot, even though I sat through Ken Loach's new film (which was rather good), the man still hasn't lightened up though. I think the stir fried beef, the braised belly pork and the company helped more though.
― chris, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am kind of discouraged and depressed, because work is so awful and I have this intensive 6 week course that I shouldn't even have to take but must to get my degree. So yes, excessively grumpy.
― Nicole, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And I thought I could turn bold type off but I didn't. Grr...

I was trying to be inexpressibly melancholy but your dwarf routine reduced it to mere grumpiness.

― Maria, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm intimidating patrons tonight, at least the drones who come in to use the computers. I feel like smashing the computers &/or my head against the point of a metal cabinet. (No encouragement, please.) I really hate this job. I don't see how I can quit given the rent I'm paying, etc., etc. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking when I allowed myself to develop into someone so devoid of real hard marketable skills. Librarianship is a joke.

― DeRayMi, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

melancholy but your dwarf routine reduced it to mere grumpiness

Dan and Ned can be quite depressing, yes. (melancholy > grumpiness (ie melancholy = 0, grumpiness = -ve?))

― Graham, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Melancholy is graceful and elegant, while grumpiness is funny and easy to mock. At least in prose, I guess in actuality melancholy would closely resemble sulking, which is the less satisfying version of grumpiness.

― Maria, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dan and Ned can be quite depressing, yes.

Yay! Er, wait...

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have this strange feeling of deja vu.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have this strange feling of deja vu.

― di, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Maria started it.

― Graham, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

best last 15 or so responses ever!

― jel --, Wednesday, 10 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

today I am actually being Sleepy.

Zzzzzz.

― DV, Wednesday, 10 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Librarianship is a joke.

Er, ouch? I mean, it sounds like your annoyance isn't with the organizing of the collection so much as it public service, and I fully sympathize with you on that front.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 10 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm being a little too sweeping, I suppose. Working in public libraries? Working with the public in public libraries? It's just a very bad situation here, that's all.

― DeRayMi, Wednesday, 10 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Also: I don't feel that I have a skill set that, for instance, would allow me to easily find a job elsewhere at a salary that is commensurate with the local cost of living. (Those who have specialized in something like law or medical librarianship might have it a bit better.) Of course, maybe I am short-changing myself, not thinking creatively enough, etc.

― DeRayMi, Wednesday, 10 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I suppose it all depends on where you're at and what your goals are. I've been asked more than a few times if I'm ever going to get a library degree, but I don't want to go back to grad school, while I also have this creeping sense that you take your work home with you when you're a librarian. I'm not too sure what skills set I have as an assistant, but I have more than when I first came in, at least!

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 10 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Actually I don't generally take my work home with me except in the form of tightened muscles and other physical reactions to it. Academic librarians are in a slightly different situation since they are generally expected to write boring articles about library science.

― DeRayMi, Wednesday, 10 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nicole to thread! And Jel too, but he's already here.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 10 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not grumpy, I got broadband yesterday and the novelty hasn't worn off yet.

― DG, Wednesday, 10 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

grrr i am grumpy now i shd have had broadband three days ago but i am a twat and my computer = fucknutZoRs (ok it is actually working again but i haf spent the whole day on the phone to apple support then reformatting everything grr grrr grrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRR)

― mark s, Wednesday, 10 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

DG are you using an external modem-router and if yes which?

― mark s, Wednesday, 10 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am using dial up, dig that 45.2k speed. Experiencing the internet like it's supposed to be, slow and unresponsive. hehe!

― jel --, Wednesday, 10 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am filled with RAGE! I am beyond mere grumpiness! The guidance counselor called and told me I have schedule conflicts for next year so I have to quit choir, forget about having lunch with my friends, and take either North American wildlife, sculpture, or life 101. (I was going to take Russian.) I am terrible at sculpture and will fail unhappily, I have no interest in north american wildlife, and LIFE 101 is A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH (home ec).

It would all work out PERFECTLY WELL if the school hadn't adopted a rule a year or two ago saying no independent studies in empty slots - I could take Russian or French or music theory or something. But nooo, can't have those kids SLACKING OFF by not being with a full class. However it is quite acceptable for kids to leave at 10:30 in the morning to go to WORK!

― Maria, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Life 101 sounds exactly what I need, actually. I'd be quite tempted by Sculpture and North American Wildlife too. What the hell kind of course is this?

― Martin Skidmore, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

seven months pass...

I am incredibly grumpy and silly and sensitive this morning. Work is crazy, but here I am complaining on ILX a lot. I feel like at some point I must have said something offensive cuz nobody directs any posts to me any more. But what is more likely is that:
1- I am being emotional and grumpy and sensitive and
2- I simply haven't been able to put as much in ILX lately since I've actually had to do lots of real work at work (sux0rs/dud/etc.).

This is where you try to cheer me up, please.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 14:49 (twenty-three years ago)

cheer up sarah :)

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 14:51 (twenty-three years ago)

yes - don't be a twat, put on your smiley hat. You may be grumpy but at least you don't come out with crap like THAT.

― alix (alix), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 14:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha, this thread = same impulse that inspired my "I believe I'll buy me a graveyard of my own" thread

Sarah if you believe that my day won't be as f**king stressful as yesterday was then I will believe the same for you! Positive vibes heart chakra Aquarian energy blah blah

either that or I'm going to the doctor today and BEGGING for Valium

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 14:52 (twenty-three years ago)

there must be summat in the air (or on the er... netwaves). i am also feeling v.v.sappy today. i cried yesterday morning for no reason. or for many reasons, none specific, and i think it has carried over... today i'm being a morose motherfucker and being bitchy. so please semi-ignore my bitchiness in my ratty-ass-bitch posts today. i'm just feeling funny. sorry.

― g-kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 14:58 (twenty-three years ago)

I have worked really hard today (VAT return!) so I have decided unilaterally that since everyone else is being lazy round here I'm a gonna fuck off at three. Which is five minutes away. Yay.

FOr some reason I am in the best mood evah for the last couple of days. It might be seeing Silences Of The Palace last night which was fanchastic.

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 14:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I am no more grumpy than usual, and no happier than usual, which is pretty happy. Didn't get mashed on Saturday for the first weekend in ages but I don't feel particularly inspired or any less tired.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 15:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Cheer up Sarah! Here is a sock monkey for you!

Thanks, Aaron W.

J0hn, We have a deal!

Ok, back to work now (grumble grumble).

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 15:14 (twenty-three years ago)

you shoulda got the ILX comp by now, I sent it like 9 days ago!

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 15:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Hi Sarah! I'm eating these wonderful italian cookies for breakfast that I'd share with you if I could.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 15:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Rah for that McLusty character, who I hope feels much better soon. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 15:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks, all. Yes, I did not get the comp, jel. :( I'll email you.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 16:12 (twenty-three years ago)

I hope you're feeling better, Sarah. I'd post some lovely kitten pics if I had a website to put them on.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 26 February 2003 23:39 (twenty-three years ago)

In addition to the good thoughts and positive vibes, have a beer and a chiliburger on me!

― Chris Barrus (xibalba), Thursday, 27 February 2003 00:32 (twenty-three years ago)

thanks everyone, you made me feel a whole lot better. really.

― g-kit (g-kit), Thursday, 27 February 2003 10:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh good a place for me to vent my RAGE and grumpiness.

I got up at 6:45 this morning and went to the gym before work and was feeling all virtuous and positive and wonderful then started my PC and the FUCKING email isn't working. I cannot do anything without it. I know that if I ever do get back into it there will be 45 thousand requests for me to do something which I could be doing now only I can't because I CANNOT GET INTO MY EMAIL. Systems are trying to get out of it by claiming that anything from our building to the whole of Oxford St to the whole northern hemisphere has a power failure. GRRR. I am grumpy. And I have a headache too for no good reason.

― Emma, Thursday, 27 February 2003 10:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks Emma that's cheered me right up.

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 27 February 2003 11:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I am slightly less grumpy now as I have been out & paid the TV licence. Another year of the BBC! Oh good. And Pete you owe me £56.

― Emma, Thursday, 27 February 2003 11:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Yay. I'm sure I owe you more than that in the long run.

They have the entire first season DVD at Archway library for a quid a week. BargainXor.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 27 February 2003 11:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Poor big Jase. I think it was an autonomous champagne bottle wot did it.

We had a power cut here last night Emma, so maybe your friendly sysadmins are right for once.

― Graham (graham), Thursday, 27 February 2003 11:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry, Ja$e

― Graham (graham), Thursday, 27 February 2003 11:51 (twenty-three years ago)
