Why are you unhappy today?

Because the planet had quite clearly gone wonky when Scooter are number 1 in the UK.
That's just plain wronger than wrong.

Can't be any wronger than bloody Geri Halliwell, or that shit Madonna song!

I am so absolutely bored out of my brains today in Leipzig. This city is so completely dead on bank holidays. The wave gothik treff has descended on the town and are all the goths are so up themselves and their music is so completely shite. What do Germans do on bank holidays, stay in and watch TV, why are they all so fucking boring??? I hate this snotty unfriendly narrow minded city so much. I am close to quitting my job and moving to Berlin or jacking it all in and going back to London.

My upstairs neighbor is playing Robbie Williams songs so loud that I can hear them perfectly clearly in my apartment...

It is NOT funny or nice to laugh at someone or disregard what they are saying when the topic means a lot to the other person. Whatever rock you grew up under no longer exists. You claim to be an adult yet it seems to be impossible for you to have actual consideration for others. Also, you don't claim someone is part of your life and then not let them be and purposely come up with stupid 'rules' or excuses when you both know it's all BS. If you don't want them around then flat out say so. If you don't respect them or have any consideration for their feelings and thoughts then flat out say so instead of saying one thing, but acting another. I thought people grew out of that in high school or sometime.

Cos it's as hot as a vindaloo inside this office, sat here amongst scores of sweaty blokes and it smells like a goat's armpit.

It's my birthday and i should be sat outside the wine bar near my hotel sipping cocktails from the happy hour menu.

Happy Hour at 4pm? No wonder the Brits have a reputation as drinkers!

Because my mom just left back to the States after a stressful two-week trip of trying to situate my stubborn grandmother into a better location and make sure she is properly taken care of. I never realized how much I miss my family and how far a distance of 3,000 miles sometimes feels. Now I won't see my mother again until next year and I regret not being able to spend more time with her while she was here...

Because I forgot to take my half-loaf of ciabatta out of the freezer and had to have salt crackers with my cheese for lunch. At least I had a nice fresh spring onion to chomp on as well.

Because this thundery weather is giving me a headache, because my hubby has been away for 2 weeks and I miss him!

Because I can't apply for another visa until the end of June, so I can't go to my friend's hen weekend in a few weeks. Plus I won't be able to come back to see my husband until July! What's with all the restrictions man?

Because this heartbreaking article about the very young orphans of China's earthquake just made me cry.

5 7 weeks!

Because I have a paper that's due in 2 hours on the topic of Autism that I have no inspiration to write .

Things are getting worse - send chocolate!

Because no matter what I do.. nothing gets better only worse!

Because too often things don't work out the way you want them to, and somehow the radio stations always know what songs to play to make things worse.

TexasLauren, they're not playing Scooter's "Jumping All Over the World" again are they?

Because no matter what happens and however you think you might just be on the right road to getting over things, someone just rips the wounds open by being less than discreet about their lifes and what they do with it! Please stop that, I don't want to know! It's bad enough O.K?

My daughter-in-law miscarried again, this time during a routine check-up. I suppose that means that the pregnancy was instable anyway, but it's the second time in 13 months ...

My moby fell into a glass of water. But it seems to be recovering.

Must have been a big glass!

I'm sorry, but I just can't get used to all of these holidays! I know I'm new in this country and I need to adapt, but c'mon! How many holidays does Bayern have?

I know one of these days I'm going to be buying my dinner at the filling station.

I better get my hands on a list of holidays.

I have now spent around 8 hours trying to fix this fucked up UPS install on this fucked up Windows XP machine and talking to fucked up telephone engineers treating me like a moron.

Final Straw.

All office Windows PC's are going in the nearest skip as soon as possible and being replaced with Apple Macs. I just cannot believe how crap Windows has become. Ironically it all went
Pete Tong when I tried to tweak the PC 'cos it was running like a dog in the 1st place. Slow, buggy lumps of junk. Not multi-lingual friendly, spam ridden, virus ridden lumps of crap.

It's gonna most me money on hardware, plus I need to buy special 3rd party software to run UPS, but I know it's gonna be worth it.

Not enough, you can never have enough holidays!

Im unhappy today, because I only found out about the holiday when I arrived at work and noone else was there...
Im born and raised in bavaria and I still cant remember when to stay at home.

For example: here


Not got a calendar anywhere?

If its any consolation I'm at work slaving over a hot computer. But its not a holiday in the Northern States...

Aaargh!!! Fuck US banks! I can't believe I just spent $35 to transfer €13 to Germany! I need a Fuehrungszeugnis, and they only take drafts from German banks, so I had no other way to send it.

Ask one of your Germany based friends of Californian origin to transfer it for you in €€, then you transfer the $$ to said friend's Ma in CA.

I thought of that, but I need to send them a copy of the receipt, and I have to do it asap.

Aces! Thank you.

Yes, I have a calendar but it's a US calendar. (A lot of good that does me here)

Thanks again!

I´m unhappy because although I threw my husband out several weeks ago, and because he couldn´t find anywhere to stay at "such short notice" he´s been sleeping on the living room floor, he´s now looking for a flat in Augsburg so that he can be further away from my daughter and myself, and can be nearer to "her".
Why can´t he just stay here and fall back in love with me???

'cos I pulled a calf muscle 5 weeks before the Stadtlauf (which I had finally registered and paid for) and the training programme was just hotting up clearly too hot! Physio reckons I can jog again end of next week, so fingers crossed.

@ robinson100 - If he wants out, let him go. But I hope she turns out to be a cast-iron bitch and he realizes what he had in you.

I am unhappy because I found the physical courage to take decisive action and it all went up in smoke.

I'm really sorry for you Robinson100.

ouch robinson100 that sucks. Sending some +ve karma your way.

Thanks for the support guys and girls.
It´s just a pity that I have now lost a person who I thought was a good friend because he didn´t like/understand what I had posted...so I´m unhappy again today:-(

Because I just got back from dropping off my husband at the airport. One day isn't enough!!

@robinson100- so sorry about what's going on with you. This might turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to you. And remember, things will always work out the way they're supposed to.

Because I feel like I'm in such a rut. Gave up my job as a Head of Department at a school in the UK to help my husband make progress in his career (very happy to do this cos I was being bullied by a more senior member of staff). Now working for a language school who would pay me peanuts if I could get my tax number sorted. Feeling completely unfulfilled in the job, have another idea of career (!) but we're not quite ready for that yet, if you know what I mean! Feeling completely unsettled here in Germany at the moment, but really want to make it work cos its not as stressful as it was for us in the UK. Now I'm rambling...

As I said on the happy thread, it's a year since things were falling apart for me.

I'm now arguably in the best place in my life.

A separation is a horrible thing to go through but you find out who your friends are. Good luck.

I am unhappy because, even though it has been a very busy weekend with two pups, I will miss little Adina when she goes home tomorrow, and I am sure Tobi will, too. Though he won´t mind not having to argue over the food, I think :-)

Family drama...

Because I thought that my boss was keeping his timesheets up to date until I realized that I was on a different guy's calendar.

Because I lost a whole work day

changing to freenet was NOT a good idea.

Coz I have to travel all over Deutschland this week coz one colleague is "sick" (again for the 10th time this year!) and anothers child is home from school ill.

Hmm, maybe I should adopt

Because my mum just called me again to tell me about the 8 hour operation she has to have soon even though she knows it upsets me. Seriously, not gonna wait until after work when I'm not surrounded by people?

Also, uni work is mounting up with deadlines fast approaching, 3 colleagues are off sick / away with work so I'm taking their calls therefore leaving no time for me to do my work.

Why does everything crap seem to happen in such a small amount of time?

Taking Tobi to get the stitches out after work today. Will be glad that the procedure is then officially over, but not looking forward to his reaction when the doc pulls those threads...

My birthday is in less than a week. Sure, I'm happy about turning 19, but it'll be my first birthday away from home and I won't have any friends around to celebrate with, no cake, no presents. I'll get over that but what's worse, my fiance will be in Flensburg for five days and he leaves on the day after my birthday.

Because I have been waiting for him so long and now I hear that maybe we need time to sort things out. And my life was just about to be happy and beautiful. Now I don't know if there ever will be "us" again. Waiting has always been a killer for me and now it's worse than ever

Sorry you are so unhappy, hope things work out for you soon.

I am unappy today because the bloke I love is married.
