Host of Suckitude!

My suckitude generally relates to my job. I'll be 62 later this month, and my work is more physically demanding than I want to be doing right now, even though I'm in generally good health and condition. It doesn't help that I'm in Texas, and it's summer, hence hot and humid.

Of course, I can't blame anyone but myself. I've had other jobs over the years but I've never been ambitious enough to pursue some things I wanted to do, and didn't get a degree, etc, etc. Now I'm stuck at an age where no one is going to give me a chance to start in a position I might prefer, so my suckitude is likely to continue.

Sorry 'bout yer parents mooching....it's hard enough these days to get by. I don't know if your job has psych benefits coverage, but maybe a therapist could help in the "talking ta pretty gals" area?

I've just had the worst summer EVER. Crazy sick and unable to leave the house for most of it...You know those "unhealthy for sensitive" warnings on the weather forcast? Yeah, they're talking 'bout ME. Then mother nature kicks up a riot and rips off our garage roof and causes havoc with everything else...We were gonna have a nice vacation (first in 4 years!) come spring and now we'll just be padding a roofers pocketbook. If I see one more celeb buying a $24000 purse I will hurt them and and turn THEM into an expensive purse. Then maybe they'd be useful for something.

I too live in a real rural area, and we are bored senseless and just hating it, but won't be in a position to leave for YEARS.


But all in all, I guess I am still breathing, and there might still be a light at the end of the tunnel somewhere, unlike Michael Clark Duncan...who I just read has died at 54. (and oddly enough he was a vegitarian for the last three years??) I always liked that man... like a big teddy bear...

*snicker*

Actually I try to be more civil outside of RWED and keep it PG, big difference between diving into the shark pit, and having the shark pit fall on you - dun wanna visit that on them who didn't go looking for it cause life does it so well all by itself already, hey ?

Being a cyborg is only fun in a hollywood movie, you gotta hook the meat to the metal somewhere, and when that hookup is a mess of grafts, damage and improvisations, we're talkin pain in plenty - I like what I do, but I certainly don't care for being curled into a whimpering ball of pain for near an hour afterwords, nor how much booze it takes to make the pain manageable since the freakin DEA has made actual pain control all but a crime with their zealotry.

And it sure doesn't help when your cyborg bits are falling apart and you wind up in a three way fight with doctors and insurers and healthcare providers over whether functioning limbs are a medical necessity, even though without them you're even MORE helpless despite being in a wheelchair too often for comfort already.

Also not helping is the psychological effect of chronic pain and suffering and the resultant impact on personality and attitude, although in all honestly there are folk I don't feel too bad about taking it out on, almost as if they present themselves like a popup target, like one of those weighted bottom bozo dolls you can just pound till you drop, only in a verbal sense.

Of course, I am hoping to last long enough for the tech to be viable in regards to full mechanization, just pull the skull and spine and stick me in an ED-209 casing with extra handling arms... it would suck, but not appreciably more so than it already does, and at least I could get some amusement out of it.

You should go see The Avengers though, one of the few flicks that actually lives up to its hype.

Know what sucks?

- A lurker creating a thread who is too self conscious to follow up for nearly two months. I'm such a procrastinator. (Hell, it took me 2 years to write my first intro post after registering at FFF.)

- Not being able to take my work breaks in my car anymore, due to the colder season (Oh, come on! It was like 80 three days ago!), and having to use the breakroom, which is louder and makes hearing my DVDs playing on my laptop a struggle.

- Living at the corner of No and Where. My peers and other persons of interest, whom have lived in closer proximity to other humans, accumulate these things called "stories". So conversations with these people tend to be one sided, because I will have barely anything to contribute, if I'm lucky.

- My brain starting to get on a roll writing when I'm about 3 hours past the time I should've gone to bed.


Oh Frem, I had been wanting to see The Avengers. Ever since I heard Joss was writing and directing. It's just everytime I thought of it, it reminded me of my epic fail.

I did see it finally a couple weeks ago. I was feeling mighty low before it started, but.... IT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!! I felt much better during and after.

It had been a while since the last time I laughed hard out loud. That bit between Loki and the Hulk definitely triggered my lungs to compress.
