Have you ever had one of those days where everything that happens seems like part of a larger plot to piss you off as much as possible? Because that's the kind of day this has been.
Fuck you, universe. My life is shitty and meaningless enough without you fucking it up even more.
Follow-up question: Is it normal for over half of the emails and online messages a person sends over the course of a few weeks to be completely ignored, even when they're important and/or time-sensitive, or am I the only one who has this problem?
And yes, this is part of the reason I'm so fucking pissed today. Unless virtually everyone I'm trying to get in touch with has suddenly gone on vacation to places with no Internet service, there's no fucking excuse for this many people to be ignoring me at once. If you don't want to talk to me, just fucking say so, assholes.
(NOTE: The above probably does not apply to anyone reading SIT at the moment)
UPDATE
Is there such a thing as a Most Boring Life contest? I think I would be nearly impossible to beat.
I once knew a guy who was a judge for the "watching paint dry" competition. Poor guy didn't even get the excitement of watching the gradual color change in the paint and the spectrum that you get as volatile chemicals evaporate. No, he had to watch a mouth-breather from EBF Iowa with a lazy eye and determine if he was actually *watching* the paint or if his mind was wandering. And brother, as someone with a lazy eye, that's a distinction for others that's hard to hit. And Mr. Ottumwatook plain advantage of that fact. Mr Judge could have called it a day 4 hours in rather than the 7:32 that he took to DQ him.
...
Then again, I guess having to be the guy to review the tape in case of contest may yet be worse than that ~stupid Slo-Mo- Instant Replay rule~.
:-D

Pretty much every day, yup.
Follow-up question: Is it normal for over half of the emails and online messages a person sends over the course of a few weeks to be completely ignored, even when they're important and/or time-sensitive...
Occasionally, yes. As sad as that is.
...or am I the only one who has this problem?
Nope. Shoot, I've been the cause of that problem for some people. I suck at returning emails and phone calls and such.
Posted by: The Mulatto Maker at September 6, 2008 05:22 PMWell, it's good to know I'm not alone on the email thing, at least. I was starting to spiral toward some sort of bizarre solipsism for a while there.
