I lost a friend today, but oh well I guess...I'm not going to beat myself up over it. Me helping him with his hobby was more important. Some people can be so complicated.

There are other people out there in the world. Its no different than friends in high school, they come and go and its been 12 years since I've seen any one I went to school with.
"lost" as in no longer friends? or "lost" as in passed away?

No longer friends. Almost all of my friendships in my life have been on the short term.
 
I was expecting a package yesterday. I checked tracking when I got up in the morning and it was on the truck for delivery. Purolator usually gets to my place early to mid-afternoon so I figured I had plenty of time to go to the gym. I was heading out to my car at 11:00am when I saw a Purolator truck drive into the parking lot (I live in an apartment complex). Since it was Friday, I didn't want to miss the delivery because then I'd have to wait until Monday to go pick it up. So I turned around and went back to my apartment so that I could receive the package and then go to the gym after that.

I sat on my couch and waited...and waited...and waited. I guess that truck wasn't carrying my package after all but at that point it was around Purolator's usual delivery window so I figured it would be coming any time. I ended up wasting the entire afternoon waiting for Purolator to show up. I would check tracking every now and then and it still showed as on the truck for delivery. It was approaching 6:00pm when I checked tracking again...and it showed as having been delivered at 4:50pm. What??! I went to check, and sure enough, there was box sitting in front of my apartment door. Delivery person never buzzed my apartment or even knocked on my door to let me know they were there.

So that was really annoying. :coffee:
 
There was a customer at my work place today that was being super rude to me over the phone, he heard me call him an asshole as I was hanging up. Maybe he should grow up and realize that you can't treat people like shit and not expect them to have dark thoughts and low opinions about you when you disrespect them.
 
Guess what. I had to do I Ready. It was very confusing and worst of all, the teachers see everything that I do. So now they think I am struggling but I am not. It is just the way they make the problems…
 
It’s pouring outside and I got all wet
 
There are not enough hours in a day! :banghead:
 
What do you need to vent about?
Tell us what's bothering you at the moment.
I'm upset that my trust was betrayed by someone i held dear. I'm angry that when i attempt to talking it through with them, that they become highly defensive and angry with me. And now i am stuck in a limbo of what to do, because i can't work through this and gain back anything i might have had with them, unless they communicate with me. It has upended my life. Thrown me and I'm scared for my future.
 
I'm tired of my parents asking me the same goddamn question everyday.

A long time ago, my mother used to do this all of the time and I found it to be very upsetting. It'd be the same round of questions that I had answered the previous day before and it was annoying. I felt like I was talking to someone who had dementia. I quit talking to my mom for almost a year because I felt like she didn't care and it was a waste of my time.

Did you ever try to figure out why your mom did this?

Presently we're on good terms. It's taken a long time for us to get there.

On this particular subject, no I haven't asked her. But we did talk about why we conflicted so much and that's because she was upset with what I did when I was a little kid to a young adult. She said I would always embarrass her because I was always in trouble at school and I never did as I was told. She said it took her a long time to get over a lot of the things I did. She's not lying, but I wish she would have gone about it differently.

I think a lot of ppl can be troublesome in their teens though. Not a legit reason to disown anyone IMO.
