Today's Unhappiness

[Hazzle]

That's terrible. Have you tried getting in touch with the airline to see if they can locate it? I know you were probably insured but ideally you'd probably rather have your stuff back. Some stuff's just irreplaceable and personal.

I'm in the process of moving and I get practically no sleep now because I'm extremely sensitive to sound and now I live right next to a main road plus the fact that the neighbours keep watching TV in the middle of the night.

I hate living in this apartment already, please shoot me now.

[Surprize]

Hazzle, yes. They are still trying to find it and I heard some terrible stories that sometimes luggage is found in a month or more. By the way, today, I've called them and they still don't have info about my suitcase. "Please call tomorrow. We'll have new info." Whatever.

Ardnax, where are you moving to? Another city/country?

[Ardnax]

Same village only an apartment instead of a house. I'm now living in a one bedroom apartment together with my mom so that means chaos.

I'm back in Sweden, and I hate it -.-

[eelliiinn]

Last night I put one of my phones in the sink while washing my hands, so it's totally water damaged now. I can see that I have got texts, but I can't open them because the buttons don't work. I'm so frustrated because I waited all night yesterday for those texts that I think are there now!! >.<

Friday was first day back in school. My new timetable is proper shit. Monday mornings I start with biology from 8.30 - 11.40, then a 4 hours and 10 minutes long gap, and then I end at 5.20. Then add 1 hour by bus to get to school and 1 hour to get home. And I start at 8.30 every day. Thursdays I also end at 5.20 and Fridays 5.10. I'm starting to hate the IB. So yeah I guess it's time to say goodbye to my social life for the rest of the year now. Nice.
Oh and I daydream about slowly and painfully killing my new Swedish teacher. She's horrible. The one I had last year was awesome, this one is not. I hate her. End of story.

Sorry to hear that Elin.
Today I am unhappy because I look outside and see orange smoke in the air from a forest fire 2800km away.

I'm unhappy because my neighbours have put in a planning application to let them carry on doing...what they've been doing since January (making all locals' lives hell). The scary part is they just might get away with it, despite a petition with 150+ signatures opposing the application, 20+ people having written objection letters and 14 official complaints, including a smoke nuisance notice and planning enforcement notice being served against them already.

[duckula]

Bugger. Get to know someone on the local council, politic it up.

[Hazzle]

Working on it. Got support from one of the local councillors, the noise nuisance team and planning enforcement. Working on getting Health and Safety on to it (there's a few issues that fall under their remit) too.

Slightly worried because the temple are resorting to dirty tactics. We collected a petition of surrounding residents. They've got ten letters from people in our neighbourhood who claim we approached them and misrepresented ourselves as representing the temple organisation. The fucked up thing is, we didn't even visit 5 or 6 of the places, and only two of the ten signed our petition. We have since discovered one of those two said she only signed their letter because they kept harassing her and ringing her bell non-stop. They've told people they'll "burn in hell" for opposing a place of worship, that it's a sin, all sorts of emotional blackmail, bordering on threats. It's unseemly.

They've been collecting a petition (300 signatures) and garnering support using their website. I've seen the planning file and their side of it (in favour of the application) dwarfs ours, but it's padded with people from India and Malaysia! Even the UK-based ones are from places like Slough, Essex and Birmingham. I'm hoping the council disregards their views; they don't live here, what business is it of theirs? If the temple relocates, they can still go. That's all we want.

It's because the temple's been telling its worshippers that we, in the house next door, are trying to close them down. Which isn't quite true. We've asked the council to help them relocate, so those people can go pray, without disturbing the local neighbourhood. You should see the dirty looks we get. Every person who walks past our house looks in, and if looks could kill...it's like being a prisoner in your own house. It's fucking insane, hopefully the council can see that.

[duckula]

That's wild dude. Hopefully the council will see sense, you never can tell though.

[angelababy]

I had an image of brad getting action as he stated in the opposite thread.

[Hazzle]

I'm 30 today. Think that's more than enough reason to be unhappy.

Congratulations!

Doesn't seem to be entirely working. This is Deborah Henson-Conant the World's most famous Jazz Harpist, and she gave us permission to give this to special people.

Didn't sleep last night due to sore throat, stuffy nose, congested with huge headache today, this is during a vacation and I'm supposed to be at a social in an hour for a friend who's funeral is tomorrow.

[Hazzle]

Sorry to hear about your friend. Hope you feel better soon.

[da bahstid]

I appreciate that Hazzle. But it's too late. My friend is now married.

I got over it though because the reception was a blast.

And today I happen to feel awesome. I don't know what's wrong with all you people, including previous me.

The company that repaired my house foundation with life-time warranty is more than 2 hours late. I've arranged my schedule to stay home for tech. to re-inspect my foundation. Tech calls to say sorry he's late, be here in 30 minutes, but that was over an hour ago. Wish people would keep their word.
