I whine, then run over to be giving gratitude that I can whine here and deal with real life....i think it works...grats balances my complaining!
it is just "one of those days"....my printer keeps jumping off of my network, my emails are misspelled and won't go through, (even with my glasses on)...construction going on in the work area, 3 elevators down (one because the sheep pen straw blocked a drain spewing sheep-sh!t down the elevator shaft so it smells like a zoo in the office...my office is right under the vivarium)....it's COLD, i'm crabby, but I am very grateful to be able to whine...does that make sense?
previously, i would have gone home from work and been working my way down the drunken road by 11AM....now I am dealing with it. thanks guys.

I think the mascot name Whiny Mother Fandy is nice. Any other suggestions?
My whine is that gas is gonna go through the roof right when I hit the road for home.
My other whine is about people who send mass e-mails to me and a zillion other people about an e-mail to forward to our Prime Minister! First, I hate group e-mails, they bring "junk" I don't need to my computer and I end up getting e-mail replies from people I don't know and don't want to know. Second, I clearly ask all my friends and family NOT to do this to me and they did it anyway. And third...how dare they tell me what my political opinion "should" be.
Queeny sent a "second request" to the family member who did this and I spent no time at all wording it carefully, just said what I thought. Harummmmphhh, how dare they!!
Now I get to go sit in the sun for an hour or so, sucking up every ray before I head north again.
Happy Whiny Wednesday everyone.

i want to kick everyone really hard.
I just want to kick the idiotic phone company person who mistakenly put a 'toll restriction' on my land line!!! As if it were a delinquent account... which it is NOT!!! It took all kinds of phone-acrobatics to finally get a live human being on the other end and to tell them my problem. It was finally fixed... or so they promised...
Second, why are the damn pages here so slow to load today??
Third, I told Miss Daisy I would make an appt for a plumber to find out why there's standing water in her bsmt... she got mad and said, petulantly, "I can do that myself!!" I said, "then why haven't you done it? Bro told you Sunday and this is Wednesday and no plumber yet!" She sulked in silence...
Then I made the appt myself, also one with the tax people, called and told her when they were (tomorrow and Friday, respectively) and she responded like I'd slapped her with a whiny ungrateful snotty "Gee thanks for taking over!!" I responded with a cheerful "You're welcome!"
She's losing it quicker and quicker every day... but is just aware enough to be nasty and in denial about it... I can see this is going to get worse before it gets better, if indeed it does ever get 'better'...Cmc, glad hubby's feeling a bit better and hope your stress goes down.

cmc - Was just wondering if things were any better for you - glad you posted.
Well, for what it's worth I'm a crankypants too today. Grouchy and feeling sorry for myself - no good reason.
Kevin - you nailed it - excellent whines right out of the gate.

perhaps it's time to change the diet? sounds like a fiber issue? Issues that need tissues! toilet tissues make big issues.
i am in a rather good mood since i spoke to and visited my accountant!!! i have filtered the booze $$$ into the mortgage principal...and have knocked 13 years off the mortgage to boot....Ok, it's not exactly a whine, but i'm grinning....and going to eat ravioli tonight.

Don't mind me, Bam, I'm persnickety. Your whine is worthy and valid.
I'm with Dee, maybe see your doctor and see if he/she can recommend something.

Hey all you whiney iney's sounds like one tough day out there in the big sober world! Bet you're all grateful tomorrow's a new day
On a lighter note:
Poor fella needs a name so far we have Whiny Mother Fandy.
Maybe we could start a new post in Cafe Central and take a vote? Let EVERYONE in on it.

I feel your phone whine Least...
Today I had a simple question that I needed answered regarding my State income taxes. I spent 45 minutes looking all through the web site. Nope,
no answer. Tried using their search feature, nothing even close. It took another 15 minutes to find a telephone number to actually contact someone,in some department that might be able to answer my question.
I call, another 5 minutes of instructions in both English and Spanish.
No press a button to simply get info in another language, so I listen.
Then "they" recite the menu. There are so many options that I can't remember which number to press when I'm done, so back to the menu
items AGAIN, this time with a pen and paper. First option I press has
another menu, none which seem to be what I am looking for. I decide
to press O thinking I might get lucky and get a live person. Noooooo,
I am disconnected. Okay.....
Dial again and repeat. Finally get to a place where I think I'm going to
get a real live breathing person and I get a recording telling me that
my wait time was now at 85 minutes. 85 MINUTES. Think I could leave
a message?.....NOOOO. The recording then says, "I'm sorry our agents are
experiencing....and you will have to call back later, CLICK.
I couldn't even whine to a person about their crappy phone system,
so you all will have to do!
