Please complain here. Covid, work, winter, your cat, your left middle toe. Doesn't matter. Points for gifs.

My washer is broken. I’m crossing my fingers it can be fixed. Because I do not want to haul laundry to a laundromat for weeks/months while I wait to a new one to come in. First world problems I know. But people use way too much fabric softener….

A piece of the lighting fixture in our bathroom just fell off and shattered everywhere this morning. Now I’ll have to hunt for a matching replacement 😩.

But people use way too much fabric softener…. Fun, it needs a part he has to order. Plus he warned me if it’s rusted when he pulls the drum apart we would need to scrap the machine. So now we wait until Friday to see… Time to do some research on washing machines.

Mh dropped our crock pot insert, and it cracked down the middle. It landed on a bowl and shattered it. The crockpot insert is not replaceable so we have to buy a whole new crock pot. And the bowl is a discontinued pattern and now I don’t have a full set. Same day - P dropped a glass jar, it hits the cabinet and breaks, then cuts her stomach on its way to the floor where it shatters the rest of the way.

Continuing with the broken glass theme, J threw a dog toy in the house and it hit and broke one of the pendants above the island. I dont really like the pendant, but it was fine enough, and there are 4 of them so replacing them all is not a cheap fix. I was hoping this would be like a 2023 project and I guess it is bumped up. Right now it is just hanging there with sharp edges, very safe.

Such b.s. right now Agreed. Our renovation is expensive. But then I look at houses and realize if we wanted to update any of it we might as well just continue with our project. It will cost the same and at least we know our neighbors.

Joined a project late. (Cause we weren’t considered part of it) Didn’t get added to the teams group, q&a meetings, or training sessions. WTF Help me out at least a little!?!?

I'm going to complain about my medication. Why does the antidepressant that works best for my anxiety issue also cause weight gain?!? I started it in September and I've gained 14lb. I hate that to control my other anxiety, I now have to introduce daily stress about what and how much I eat. When I'm not on this medication I don't really think about food at all, I can eat intuitively and maintain my normal weight. It upsets me and I'm strongly considering stopping it.

I'm just going to complain about the complicatedness of our tax system. The Vermont Tax Dept sent me and DH a bill for about $2500 last week. They said that we had earned $27K more than we reported in 2018 and now owed taxes on it (plus fines and interest). After freaking out for a minute I was able to figure out that it was the 1099K from Paypal for the business that was still attached to my SSN instead of my EIN. I guess that because of the new 1099K law, Vermont is going through old 1099K to find out who might owe them money. It was a simple enough fix (my accountant wrote up a letter of explanation that those $$$ were accounted for a different tax return). But, damn how much money could we, as a whole country, save with a simpler tax code?

The sewer line to our kitchen plugged up, so we can't send any water down the drain in the kitchen. The first septic company that we called said that they don't have anyone available for emergency calls. At all. What??? This is a large name-brand porta potty company that has bought all but one other septic company in the state. Fortunately, when I called that one other company they are able to come out tomorrow morning. Also fortunately we can still use water and bathrooms in the front half of our building, so it just means that we have more dishes to do after the drain gets clear tomorrow.

But I’m nervous that trying something new will have even worse results?? It’s tough to know the right things to do. It is tough. I tried a couple of SSRIs and had horrible side effects from them, so the one I'm currently on is a non-SSRI and other than increased appetite/weight gain it's been great, I didn't have any of the side effects I had from the others. I actually talked to my doctor today and he was like, well there are lots of SSRIs so we can try another one... But I'm terrified of trying another one based on my previous experience. I brought up trying a specific non-SSRI and he was sort of hemming and hawing about it.

But could another be better? Or will another cause weight gain? Or sexual dysfunction? Or TW SI ? Uggghhhhhh.

My dog (no, not the young puppy or the old lady) peed ALL OVER my bedroom on Sunday, including the bed (MY BED) that he sleeps in. Still a mystery as to why he forgot to ring his bell to go outside as he does every single damn day but I was so mad. Like a 15 ft long trail of urine, on carpet, and a giant puddle in the middle of the bed. Thankfully my mattress pad saved the mattress but he ruined my white comforter that doesn't fit in my washing machine (and wasn't looking hot as it was, so to be fair he just put the final nail in its coffin) so I had to trash it.
Anyway, he was sorry and I forgave him and even let him back in the bed yesterday but I'm still butthurt about it.

tj I know, there are so many possible outcomes that it's scary to start playing around. And a lot of the side effects common to antidepressants are absolutely intolerable to me. So, comparatively speaking, increased appetite being my only side effect probably isn't too bad, especially since it can, in theory, be managed. It's just... hard 😠Is upping the dose of your current med an option? I feel like I upped mine fairly quickly and now I'm taking 30mg, with 45 being the maximum. And my doctor today was asking me how I was feeling and if I wanted to increase and I really wasn't sure, it's hard to gauge because I don't know what I'm aiming for and what level of anxiety is normal.

Because everyone and their mother suddenly decided "hey, NB looks good" and raised our housing prices almost 30%. THIRTY PERCENT. WTF.

Ordered 2 items from Amazon.
Said it would be here yesterday…. Still hasn’t shipped.
I’m good with shipping delays, but don’t tell me I will have something by end of day when clearly I will not.

One of my superstar employees just asked me for a meeting tomorrow (over text since I’m on the road today). I said sure and asked her what about. She didn’t reply for 3 hours. I had basically decided that she was clearly quitting and leaving us all in the lurch when she finally replied that she wanted to brainstorm how to improve the inventory.
