Why are you unhappy today?

I have way too much to do, and too little time to do it in. I had a run in at the Post-Bank with an absolutely horrible woman this morning. Stupid people are selfish and don't care that I have too much on my plate, all they can think about is themselves.

I have a headache, my tummy hearts, my eyes hurt and I feel fat!!! Well no I am fat!!!

Of all places to move to in Germany, I think I picked (one of) the worst spot(s) - fucking middle of nowhere, bad train connections, I need a car to get anywhere outside of the immediate city and it's the worst bloody place to be stuck on a long weekend. The fact that my job's good and pays decently doesn't do much to make me feel better either.

I just booked my flight to the UK with my son to see his relatives.

Only I used easyjet and I used the wrong sons name.

I have a bad feeling this is going to cost me. I've tried calling them but I get nowhere.

Stupid, stupid, stupid...

they are in the final of the uefa cup

Well I pay the price of stupidity/lack of concentration.

Trying to talk to Easyjet is one of life's most frustrating experiences and they wouldn't go for changing Andreas to Matthias as a free change.

Only money I suppose:-(

Bluedave is probably bringing some cream eggs back today and I don't think I ll make it to the FBG to get some!!
And after a good interview I got offered a mini job!! WTF am I suppose to live under a bridge or what ???

I am in real shit at the moment!!!

Can I have yours?

No!!!

If you put on a nice skirt then maybe.

Cream Eggs are the work of the devil. Fact.

He has to be good for something.

Hmmm... I don't know how to put this, but I'm a bit unhappy because I feel like no matter how much effort I put into learning German, learning the customs and traditions, no matter how much of an effort I make to be polite, respectful, and patient... I will never "belong" as a part of the German community. And a lot of German people see and treat me as a "scheisse auslanderin" even though I have done nothing to personally bother them. Further, as an intelligent, respectful, educated, and physically attractive woman of color, the type of attention I get from some German females makes me feel unwelcome (let's face it, it is some insecurity and jealousy involved), and the type of attention I get from German males makes me feel objectified and reduced to my appearance. This makes me sad ;(

There will be people like that all over the world. Ask yourself how much of it rally is skin colour and how much is just because you are not from here. There may be elements of both.

There will also be people who are open , friendly and worth spending time on. Ignore the bad and seek the good.

The second place finisher of the Kentucky Derby broke two ankles in the race and was put to sleep on the track after the race.

I miss Munich REAL bad ...

Despite just returning from dinner with one of my good friends and then he and i meeting another of our friends for a movie and it being fun dragging him to a "chick flick", Baby Mama, which he even found some parts entertaining, i miss my boyfriend and which he were here at times to hang out with us. It just sucks missing out on the 'every day' type of things in each other's lives.

because I spent all day cooking and cleaning and testing my cooking on a friend so that it would be perfect.. and he sent me a message asking if I was planning on staying at his house. and that his friend needed the sofa like I was imposing.. like he had no idea that I had planned anything.. I understand he was late but it really really hurt that.. he forgot that I was making him roast and yorkshire pudding.. and then when I texted him and said so he did not even answer.. I am not just unhappy I am heart broken!

Hi Nowandlainers,
if you want my opinion, he is an ignorant git, and the sooner you find somebody else to cook wonderful things for, the better!!
Tommorrow will be a better day!

Because I don't know what to do. My lease on my flat in Leipzig is ending in 6 weeks time and I don't know if I want to renew it for another 6 months or leave Leipzig altogether. I don't have many friends here but at the same time I can't find a job that enthuses me anywhere else. I don't know why I came to this city where the expat life is so completely thin on the goround and most people seem to think foreigners (that includes anyone who isn't from Saxony) are "exotic", and I keep thinking life is so short and I could be having a much better time in a more international German city or back home.

my 2c = leave Leipzig

because I had Lyme Disease 3 weeks ago after pulling a tick out of my leg, and after 2 weeks of antibiotics, and 1 week of feeling much better, I now feel like I can barely stand up, so dizzy, and achy, and my eyes burn, and I want my mommy :-(
and the timing is all wrong because I have 4 exams this week. grrrrrr...

Hope you've been to see your doctor by now - if not, go there immediately!

I bet he is German!

Typical selfish attitude!

It's my last Monday in Munich. I go back to the real world, my real job and very real high cost of petrol, on Wednesday. It also means leaving my husband behind and not seeing him for at least few weeks. Bah!

Pissed off with working in London, while my girlfriend lives in Stuttgart,
Pissed off on waiting for a confirmed job offer in Stuttgart - had the interview, in contact with the owner of the company every week. external influences at there end holding up offer.
GENERALY PISSED OFF.

Because I never knew these song lyrics were so true..

nope spiderpig.. He is in fact English..

On Saturday I buggered my leg up again (pissed as a fart after spending most of the day in Andechs, dressed as a woman, in a nice floral dress, and then to pass the time while waiting for the S-bahn home I took a running leap into Ammersee and aggravated a torn calf muscle, but that's all by the by). This morning I went to the doctor to get it checked and he said it's nothing serious and I should rest it. He asked if I wanted to be krankgeschrieben and I said no, my boss is pretty flexible, and I can drive to work and get my laptop and work from home for a few days. On the way to work I got blitzed hopping over an orange/red light. That's fucking gratitude isn't it. Then SWM sent us a bill for nearly 500 euro for electricity.

Cos i've got to get up at 4.00 am tomorrow morning and take 2 flights back to bloody Bristol again.

Because I just saw the words "celebrate diversity" on our company's intranet. Writing my resignation letter right now. Pinky touchy feely scum.

Because today is my last day in Munich.

Just been to the dentist, my gums still hurt and its been 2 hours.

I just found out that the girlfriend of one of my friends died yesterday. And shortly thereafter I was told that one of my closest friends from home died yesterday as well... Both of them under the age of 35... I feel a bit sick.

Gosh, how dreadful. I'm really sorry to hear that.

Thanks, Kay. It's very bizarre, isn't it?

We bought a new washing machine today - one of ours (we have two = long story) broke down at 19 years of age... We got the new one into the house but so far cannot lift the old one out of the cellar. Too heavy for me with bad back & 19 yr son who can just about lift a mouse off a mouse-pad...

Luckily a gorilla lives two houses away - but he had some sort of party this evening so we will disturb him tomorrow...

And this makes you unhappy? Sort of pales in comparison to the posts above yours, doesn't it?

Any post would pale in comparison to the loss of a loved one, how do you move on from there?

not really unhappy today, moreso this morning.

on my way to work on the train the man, albeit attractive, I was standing behind was wearing shiny track pants...and then he farted on me.

Ty for that, just covered my keyboard in coke.

Of course

Because I had an absolutely disastrous return from Germany, culminating in someone nicking one of my pieces of luggage, from RIGHT OUTSIDE THE FUCKING BAGGAGE HANDLER'S OFFICE!!! Wedding photos, digital camera, notebook of German notes and other scribblings, iPod car charger, pieces of clothing, and my new DKNY handbag and a few other bits, gone forever due to the negligence of the baggage company.

I haven't cried like this in months!!!

The new DKNY bag you talked about on the "happy" thread?

That's shit, what a horrible way to finish your enjoyable time in Munich.

Long weekend ahead and abslutely no plans...

The very same one. I made my husband buy it for me, and now, thanks to some twat 19 year old who clearly hasn't got a brain in his head, it's gone!!

Did I mention this happened the day after I missed my flight due to passport control questionning my passport and visa and making me pay €150 fine, even though my visa is valid until June 30! So I had to sit in the immigration office in Hamburg airport, trying to defend myself, with my rubbish German and their rubbish English, while my plane took off. This happened because the flight from Munich to Hamburg was delayed so we only had like ten minutes to get to the plane after it landed. If we'd landed on time, I would have been able to sort out the whole passport thing and make my flight.

They never offloaded my bags (even though they said they would), I couldn't get another flight to Manchester that day and Air Berlin wouldn't simply transfer me, since they say it was my fault I missed the flight. So I had to pay €245 for a new ticket, pay €80 for a hotel and stay there overnight with no luggage.

Get back to England, twat baggage boy informs me that someone 'already picked up' my bag and he had no idea who. And they would have the nerve to jail me for murder!!!

because as much as some people claim they are not ignoring you they really are. being able to do many other things (not even important things with a deadline) and not take the 30 seconds to respond to you via phone or email really is ignoring you. If you need to think about your repsonse for awhile just say that. simply ignoring someone when you know they are waiting for a reponse is rude and doesn't show much condsideration for them.

no, i'm not talking about waiting 30 sec, 1 min, 1 hr, etc for a response, i mean a day (again depends on the sitauation. for this situation it is beyond what many people would find acceptable) or longer.

if you don't have that kind of consideration for the person then perhaps reconsider what you're doing and put an end to things (whatever it is- busindess deal, friendship, whatever).

Work is a mess. People are crying, people are yelling and screaming, people are worried about the future, people are sick, people are fed up and not taking it anymore. I would love to rant and rave some more, but better not. I am just going to stay home for the next two weeks and decide a few things.

Vote McCain

Because when you think things can't get worse they do.
