Why are you unhappy today?

This is what happened to me 2 years ago and this was the beginning of the end!

I have just added reason No 564246354665 for why I hate HR.

I'm unhappy because I'm stuck at work while all my friends are out partying for fasching.

Not so happy coz I started my new project after 6 weeks off and prefered to be anyplace else than stuck here in the office.

Not just unhappy, downright miserable: The ironing board I was carrying into the living room so I could watch Masterchef whilst ironing opened up and tapped me on the nose. Now your average Jane Doe shrugs it off and carries on, but my nose was broken 35 years ago and was badly set so even the slightest pressure causes agony. I have the choice of a. wearing glasses and suffering, b. not wearing glasses and seeing things all fuzzy and c. wearing contacts that are two sizes too weak.

Thank goodness the TV is huge so I went for option b. Dunno how I will manage tomorrow at work.

EDIT: I am even more miserable today. After trying option a. for two hours I have reverted to option c., meaning that I can work at the pc but have trouble seeing things in the distance. However, the bruising has now extended from the bridge of my nose to underneath both eyes. What with the bruises from slipping on cat vomit ten days ago and these new marks I most solemnly swear that they are self-inflicted and Scogs has nothing at all to do with them!

Well not really unhappy, as in the grand scale of things I am a happy person and all, but I was a bit sad this morning because I saw a guy on the Municb U-Bahn reading T.C. Boyle's "The Tortilla Curtain" and I wanted to chat to him about it, but then I remembered where I was and thought that he'd think I was some kind of over-friendly loon, so I didn't.
Not sure why this made me a bit sad, whether that was due to the thought that I am a over-friendly loon that chats to random people on public transport or that I miss sitting with other over-friendly loons chatting on public transport, I'm not rightly sure.

In any case, it's a great read.

Because for my husband, the threat of redundancy has reared it's ugly head again, sooner than we anticipated.

Because I am still in the office waiting for the boss to approve an invoice and he's on the phone with his feet on the desk. And at home a home-made beef stew with store-bought garlic bread is bubbling away.

The sun shines outside and I wish I had a dog to walk out and play with... I think that this is one of my biggets frustration in Germany...

I was hanging out with one of my girlfriends today and she said she has a pedigree white boxer that she would like to find a good home. The dog is 2 years old and only understands english. If you're interested, just let me know.

I know this is not the place for it and i'm sure this has been discussed at length before but do dogs really understand a particular language?

I was sure that i had been informed that they respond to gestures and to tone of voice rather than what is being said?

bluedave you're kind of on track. they do learn words. if it was just voice intonation and gestures then a dog couldn't differentiate betweent "go" and "no", but they can (well, can be trained to). Dogs do primarily learn via body language since that's how they communicate first. Voice tone does effect things. You can go anywhere and use random nonsense sounds and depending on pitch and length of the tone get a known response (e.g. high and fast will speed up, cause excitement. low and steady/slow can calm and slow. low/deep can stop a behavior. just like fast and sharp can interript one).

Brennan knows commands in both German and English and same with other dogs can learn both.
Depending how the dog was trained if it learned first by hand signal it's super easy to teach commands in a new language. Even if only voice commands were taught you can still switch.

I'm only reporting about the dogs language what I've been informed. I know absolutely nothing about dogs.

Wish i could say the same . . .

Btw, i wasn't doubting your post just whether that's the case.

I didn't think you were doubting my post. I was just relaying what was told to me about the dog. Even if you were my ego can surely take it .

Why does she want to get rid of the dog?

Fuck me! Camden Market's on fire. Link


Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Only Cockney residences mate, not a major problem.

Because she have two small children and a husband who is also like a small child and she can't care for the dog too.

Cough, mate.


Revellers???

Customers, please. Makes them sound like they were evacuated in a conga.

Ada-da-da-da-da hey!

Yes, I'm sure the parents of these children are reassured to know they have been left with someone so patient and caring

Absolutely, that's why they leave the girls with me as the 6 year old is diabetic and her parents trust me to give her the insulin injections. I told her parents I had to spank her butt as it was either I spank her butt for jumping on the bed or take her to the hospital for breaking her neck from falling down. What do you do when you ask a child to stop doing something that's not allowed and after five times of getting her down from the bed and her going back? YOU SPANK HER BUTT! They agreed that she needed her butt spanked and said they do the same thing when she's at home and jumps on the bed.

She asked me again to babysit this Tuesday. Yikes!

Once again the weather is nice and no dog to walk!! Can I borrow one from somebody pleassssseeeeee

just woken up. raging hangover. lost my jacket. missed training this morning. feel like shit and flatmate is having a leisurely bath so i cant get in bathroom. no paracetamol or anything to hand. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghh

haha!
that's what you get for not taking training seriously
Go get the workout and hop to it. That erg split isn't going to go down on it's own.

I am unhappy because Scogs and I took advantage of the lovely weather and delightful sunshine and went to Ingolstadt today, one of Bavaria's main cities with a wealth of history, a beautiful Baroque ensemble in the inner city, narrow cobbled streets, unexpected nooks and crannies, various fortresses from various eras, an Asam church down a side-street and a large park outside Ludwig I's last line of fortification. But that's not why I'm unhappy.

I'm unhappy because he forgot to make sure that the memory card was in the camera.

i don't mind quickly going out in the cold, but i'm unhappy b/c even the dogs are minding it so they're all energetic, but not wanting to be outside, or outside too long. Since I'm not near my house I can't go to the building (one of the places we train) and run them like I normally when it gets like this.
(it's currently-8F or with windchill about -35 or -22C and with the windchill -37)

So now you can post on the happy thread that you have to return to Ingolstadt to take some piccys! Clouds..Silver lining etc.

That's the Kreuztor from the inner city side.

I am a bit sad because they are repairing the leak in the Fernwärmeleitung near my place. It was pushing a column of steam into the frosty air for the last couple of weeks. Made me think I was on 46th Street East in New York again. I shall miss you steamy column!

Today I am unhappy because I have been diagnosed with Xerotic Eczema and it's not half as exciting as it sounds. It's a dry skin condition that freqently appears in the winter (another name for it is winter itch) on lower legs and underarms, mostly amoung elderly people but it is also not uncommon among people in their 20s. I suppose I can be happy because people might see my red and itching underarms and take me for 20-something.

Because I just got an email from ticketnet.fr saying that France v England rugby tix are on sale & I got all excited, got my credit card ready and then clicked the link and it tells me that everything is sold out, bastards.

Because my pig suche sow thread has been closed...

Squeel squeel squeel!

Because Scogs' jaw abscess burst, releasing a torrent of unspeakable, vile bodily fluids into his oral cavity. Darwin is a great guy, but Mother Nature is a bitch.

Sorry about that SpiderPig!

Because I would really like to find a bloody apartment for my boyfriend and I to move in to. I am sick of viewing 2+ apartments a day and not getting any positive feedback, even though I have a great job and can support myself! I am sick of jumping through hoops just to find a place! GAH!

Because I need to have a drink and there is nothing in the house!! And I am already in Pyjamas so too lazy to get something!

And just found out on facebook that most of my former classmates in Mauritius are married!!

Because I miss my car.

Coach still has the hump I went skiing so instead of a wee jolly down south for a race this weekend, I've to go to the gym and do 54km on the rowing machine.

Will be attending a social event alone at which a couple of toxic coworkers will be present.

because i hate my job

Why do we always fall in love with the wrong men??!!

just been to doc and told i have glandular fever. again. so i shouldnt be 1) rowing much 2) drinking much.

i think id rather be knocked down by a bus than be told that.

Because my boss just said "i would like to get this finsihed today" which always means I will be staying here late as he will decide to bugger off hime around 17:00.

Leaving me no onsstructions on what needs done or how to do it (should I work out what needs doing).

If I ask he will (again) say that there is a note or a document about it. It will be out of date and any discussion on monday will go along the lines of "yeah, thats out of date".

Its lucky the window is closed.

Not sure it's Unhappy. More Pissed Off.

I'm sat in my hotel room without bags 9 hours after arriving in Scotland. My Bags have arrived in Edinburgh Airport finally but nowhere to be seen.

It may or may not relate to me forwarding this to my collegues yesterday.

Because I dreamed that McDonald's had finally introduced the McLeberkäs. Believe me, that's enough to depress a small town.

im actually quite happy today... i mean the sun was shining all day long, i got an apartment i can move to in 2 weeks time, but then i still care for someone and i just dunno where i am with him

I am unhappy because I ordered a digital camera to be delivered to my workplace and it arrived in the postroom but never made it to me. Damn thieves everywhere.

insured?
