Why are you unhappy today?

I am unhappy because my sore throat is back and I have a packed weekend

Am leaving work early to take a nap, hopefully it will be better before the sneak!

'Cos the light has just stopped working in the fridge and I don't know what is up with it...

So I thought more about the socks and sandals and it cheered me up again

Most likely you have to buy a new light bulb?

Also happened to me some time ago. And every time I installed a new light bulb in the fridge, it stopped working within a few days. After the third or fourth one, I gave up, and learned to live without a lighted fridge. It's not as hard as it sounds...

Because i feel like i am wasting my time in this corner of the world, while people i care slowly but persistently fade away from my mind leaving holes as big as the scenario holes in Matrix. And i also want to cry :

Listen. You listen to me. You see that city over there? THAT'S where I'm supposed to be. Not down here with the dogs, and the garbage, and the fucking last month's newspapers blowing *back* and *forth*. I've had it with them, I've had it with you, I've had it with ALL THIS - *I want ROOM SERVICE*! I want the club sandwich, I want the cold Mexican beer, I want a $10,000-a-night hooker! I want my shirts laundered... like they do... at the Imperial Hotel... in Tokyo.

not so much unhappy, as more worried about 2 things- they are changing my hours at work again! And my little newfew landed in Emergency to have a perforated appendix out... poor little guy.

Perhaps we could do with the introduction of a "Why are you somewhat concerned today?" thread.

if your concerns make you unhappy, then they fit here. Guess I am just upset because I am not there to help my brother and SIL out with spending time with him and my neice.

I am unhappy because my eyes are inflamed due to having a cold and hurt like hell but I have to have some light on due to the crappy weather.

There is a big hole in the ground where my strassenbahn should be. I was not so happy with that.

Because my wee Granny in Scotland has been diagnosed with Dementia and there is no-one really to give her the 24 hour care she is going to need.

Cos i was gonna go out and watch the 3rd/4th place RWC playoff tonight at Mollys and then i realised that the place will be rotten with Frenchies, i just cannot stand another 2 hours of 'Allez les Bleus'

I'm unhappy because my husband left today to go on a work assignment in the Caribbean for the next 4.5 months . What's even worse to see him I will have to get on a plane and I hate planes . I have until Dec. 19th to get up the nerves to fly.

I'm unhappy because I just learned tonight of the tragic and senseless murder of my favorite reggae legend, Lucky Dube.

Not very lucky this time...

I'm running out of space on my hard drive!

I'm unhappy because I can't speak German and it's a big disadvantage here.

Hang on. I know the answer to this one. Don't rush me. Can I ring a friend or go 50-50?

Huh?

because i dont fucking do mornings and dont fucking appreciate workmen lifing up the fucking pavement right outside my window at 7am when im trying to sleep and waking up to what feels like an earthquake. im so tired i cant open my eyes i get up late and stay up late and this is totally messed up my day already

I guess I'm in one of my depressed days. Just feel so helpless sometimes, like I'm not in control of my life here. Every year goes by and I don't have anything to show for it, anything to point at some progress in my life. Maybe I should try a new brand of beer?

snap out of it. lifes too short - seize the day, or something like that

(changing beer always works for me)

I tend to exchange an empty glass for a full one, myself.

Unhappy or in shock? I've just realised that Alice Cooper has ripped off Jimi Hendrix BIG TIME!

The opening bars of Elected (Billion Dollar Babies) is a direct copy of Dolly Dagger (Rainbow Bridge).

This has completely messed up my day and my opinion of Alice.

Cos they turned off the hot water ( which I knew about but forgot) Now I have to have an all over wash in my sink. Bugger!
On the other hand anybody (female) want to come round here and rub me down with a facecloth?

How do you think I felt when I realised Eminem ripped of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in "The Way I Am"? Actually I thought it was kind of neat, it's not obvious but if you follow the chord progression, it's there.

I'm unhappy, well crabby, because I'm sick and tired of a certain few self-righteous, bourgeois people trying to tell me how to live my fuckin life.

Beady-eyed expectations
So easily offended
In your predicable scripted ordentlichkeit
You tell me what cool is everyone must be cool
In your groovy cosmic scene
Where it's all going down
Personal objectives thinly veiled
As a matter of course and convenience
Like a barely perceptible outline
Scratched with a key on a cold cement wall
Your words are a landscape
Studded with faceless chains of identical pit stops
Unidirectional fenced-off highways take us to the
Same old reincarnations of what never really was
Over and over again
Settling down with unsettled resignation
Into credible routines of integration and observation
This dominant feminist anal intrusion
Creative suffering artistic delusion

Im so unhappy today because ny best friend here is moving to ireland tomorrow...

I kept thinking the time changes this weekend, but no it doesn't. the US (or parts of it) are changing a week late! grr. i was looking forward to the time change and an extra hour, but instead i get shafted. I miss the time change in Germany (this week) so no extra hour there. I miss the time change in the US (next week) so no extra hour there.

Oh Man! I will gain an extra hour when my mother in law is here to just ruin my life. From bad to worse...

I'm grief-stricken got news today my sister died .

I'm sorry to hear that, LR. My condolences to you and your family.

Thank you Kay.

After that last one, I guess I shouldn't be complaining. My sympathies!

But nevertheless, I absolutely hate it when we move the clocks back an hour in the Fall. Bad enough that the days are naturally getting shorter but now it's pitch black at 6pm! We aren't farmers anymore (mostly) so there's really no reason to make the daylight come an hour earlier. Heck, I'd rather push the clocks forward an hour to get an extra hour of daylight in the afternoon/evening. That extra hour of light is just wasted in the morning by most folks who are just getting up and out to work or school. Bah, humbug!

Because a friend of mine died last week in a pointless accident.

I am missing my family today...

mom: married an idiot and gave up her personal ambitions to raise a family of 3 kids
dad: the idiot, blew up everything they had.

miss my eldest brother, ( I am the youngest of 3 siblings) who had everything which I wish I could enjoy growing up... and then he blew it in alocoholism...
I am sorry I gave up on my mom. It is strange that she cared more about her eldested son than her yongest after all she has gone through...

Because someone I really care for is sad..

About 3 mins ago I was told "that the company I work for is going under and I would have no job in less than 8 weeks".

Moved to Germany 6 months ago only for the job and spent all my savings on the move..

Contracted to my wohnung til April'08, cant speak german (not very well anyway), got a mortgage to pay on the house I moved out of to move here and officially now fucked.

Sorry flashmac, that's shit.

Get your CV on here, you never know eh?

you can move to Milwaukee, WI, USA and pay cheap rent- we need another roomie ASAP otherwise we can't afford our place and then it'll be cardboard box on a corner.

add that to the other crap things of today.

you're welcome to live in a hole with me flashmac.

thanks for the sympathy bluedave and the inviting offer in USA too, reading this thread is actuall somewhat comforting..
I'd put my CV on here if I had one, worked for the same company for 5 years and only copy of my CV is in storage in the UK where I cant get to it. Nothing worse than starting a new CV.

i tell you. the US might suck and Milwaukee doesn't have a lot to offer, but man do i have empathy, cheap rent (small room), and i'm sure i can think of other things.

Because I am craving Brez'n and Lebkuchen (no, not at the same time), where in Barcelona can I buy those? Also Leberkäs would be pretty yummy right now (not right now right now, but maybe tomorrow...).

why does it seem that not just one bad thing can happen, but they just string along all day... we're up to 4 for today. we're not talking minor stuff like stubbing your toe or breaking a plate. More about now trying to figure out how live and complete changes in your life that you have no control over.
of course it has to happen when it's not convenient and you don't have time to really deal or take care of things too.

Arrived in Scotland this afternoon to see a sick family member. It is so, so sad, I don't know if she will be with us at Christmas. Trying to stay strong and answer the kids questions as best I can.

Hang in there g24.

Sometimes the right thing to do is let them go quietly and remember the good times.

I'm flying to Chicago tomorrow to attend my sister's funeral and I'm very sad as I left I lot of things unsaid to her.

It must be horrible to go through this. My condolences, LR.

I am very sorry that this happened to you LR. My condolences and a lot of strength for the next days and weeks.

In one day I pick up the keys to my new flat and start my new life away from the martial home. I lay in bed cuddling my eldest son this morning and the reality is I can't do that every morning from Friday onwards. I know all the reasons I'm doing this and I've had a lot of great support, some of it from guys who post on here, but I still have to get through the next few days. No phone or kitchen's not going to make it any easier.
