What's upsetting you today? - Page 491

SamIam · 11-24-2011, 09:32 PM

We had decided to just put everything on hold and eat a late Thanksgiving tomorrow, but now that poor Carmen is going to be in the hospital for a while, we can't even do that.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate the Bates?

monster · 11-24-2011, 09:34 PM

it's Bates' fault Carmen is in the hospital?

The Bates' Hotel does have a reputation.

Probably. Carmen's illness has no doubt been fueled by the stress of having to deal with the impossible owner of the Bates.

But the reasons tonight that I REALLY hate the Bates and, by extension, its owner are:

Carmen should have been allowed to shut the place down until tomorrow. One little Navajo Lady trading a necklace for a room isn't going to make or break the Bates.

As usual, there will be no holiday pay or overtime pay. Its hard to feel very sunny about this place when I'm looking at working for just straight minimum wage.

It happens Sam,
When i was stationed in Iceland , the Gnny Sgt who was in charge of the club and the First Sgt got us 3 whole hogs to cook for the barracks Birthday,

Dudes Grabben the hogs heads , Humpen them < Laughing , LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS Of Booze flowing ,
about 10 or 11 ish the Cooks started falling out ( Wussys !!)
by 12:30 1:00 every body else had passed out or left
the smoke sorta cleared , there was this navy dude accross from me
he looked up and said " Well whats yer choice rum or wiskey ??"
Rum it was for me , he went and got a 1/2 gallon or dark rum for me and he had a 1/2 of jack for him ,
we sat up All nite drinking and tending those hogs , basting them , turning them , tending the fire , BS'ing ,
about 7:30 other folks started showing up ,
i went and flopped in my bed ,
8 am SHARP there was a knock on the door ,
Time to go stand guard , WTF !!!????
i thought the navy folks were doing that for us ,
change of plans , get yer shit in line and be down stairs ASAP !!!!

Been there , befor

Sorry that you didnt get to eat your TDay dinner

SamIam · 11-24-2011, 10:44 PM

Thanks, Zip. Your experience sounds like it was extremely frustrating, as well. If I'd been you, the hogs wouldn't have been the only ones with smoke coming out of their ears!

DucksNuts · 11-24-2011, 10:51 PM

I havent read the last couple of pages, so I will go back and read and comment...Im just still so fucking angry about finding someone elses dog in my back yard knocking up Lucy and beating up Jackson at 4.30am this morning!!

Im waiting on animal control to approach the owners of said dog (after I chased him out of the yard, I followed him home) and have spoken to the Vet about the "morning after" injection for Luc'....costs will come in at about $400 to fix this little problem and comes with a whole heap of potential side effects.

Seriously....grumpy as!!

Fucking useless owners.

zippyt · 11-24-2011, 10:56 PM

Dux , I had to run a dog off from Our back yard with a gun today
she was sniffing around our smoker
I yelled and she ran off 2-3 times ,
4th time i stepped out the door pistol in hand 1 in the AIR , she ran
then 2-3 to heard her in the right direction and keep her running
No i didn't Shoot the dog

DucksNuts · 11-24-2011, 11:05 PM

Sundae - so sorry for your families loss.

We went through some terrible narkiness when Dad passed away earlier this year. My brothers and sister dont talk to each other as a rule, I am the only one that got along with all of them, my sister and I are definitely on the outs now and its still a big competition about how gives Mum the most attention.

Filthy - Sorry to hear about Michelle. I think she and I spoke on the phone a couple of times? or at least we spoke through you, I remember her driving you nuts but being a lovely person.

Nirvana · 11-24-2011, 11:31 PM

Dux you plan on breeding Lucy? If not how much is a spay? That would be a permanent problem solver. That abort shot for canines is not the way to go...

DucksNuts · 11-25-2011, 12:19 AM

Zip - this bastard dug under the neighbours yard and then dug into mine. He had the balls to stand up to me but I had a big lump of wood because I heard Jackson carrying on.

Yeah, Nirvana, she is for breeding and thats why we got Jackson - they are both registered for breeding.

Lucy would have already been spayed otherwise and as soon as Jackson's nuts dropped they would be gone as well (Clyde was desexed).

Its why I am so annoyed, I have kept Luc' locked up and have even taken them in the car away from our immediate area to walk them so as not to put her scent out there and we were on the home straight, she's in her week coming off.

I didnt plan to breed her for another 12 months.

SamIam · 11-25-2011, 11:05 AM

Sorry about Lucy's Romeo on the sly, Ducks. But girls just wanna have fun!

I am feeling guilty about being such a selfish brat yesterday. The flight for life had to fly Carmen to the closest real hospital last night - Grand Junction - about 200 miles away.

Her condition has deteriorated and her husband is scared she'll die. His hands were shaking so bad, he couldn't even fix himself coffee last night. I had to start the coffee maker for him. He's taking off for the icy, treacherous drive from here to Grand Junction this morning.

Yesterday, I was just all caught up in myself and being pissed about having to work Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Carmen could die!

How selfish and thoughtless am I?

Carmen is the best boss I've ever had and the kindest person you'll ever meet. I'm getting tears in my eyes just typing this. Those doctors up there better get her fixed up.

Sundae · 11-25-2011, 11:56 AM

Ducks - bloody hell. I hope you can get some compensation from the idiots who let their dog run loose. Unless he genuinely escaped from theirs in the same way he got into yours - unfortunately there is only so much you can do with a dog when they smell a bitch.

Sam - crikey don't beat yourself up about it!
You're concerned now you know the situation. Previously of course it was "all about you". You are the only person living your life and empathy is subjective. One of my colleagues was off sick today - she's been poorly all week but my first thought was for myself. I genuinely like her and we have socialised out of school. But it's natural. Away from school I wish her all the best.

Just reminded me, should text her.
Should've done so earlier today really...

infinite monkey · 11-25-2011, 12:19 PM

Mean people.

Sundae · 11-25-2011, 12:23 PM

Thought you were talking about Sam and me for a second there.
Sorry on behalf of the mean people.
Perhaps they are just pig-ignorant (pignorant).

Of course if you were talking about me you can go fuck yourself with a stapler
