[Closed] What's annoying you currently? (Complaining now banned)

Cheers, D.
I'll keep you all informed, of course.

These are interesting times we live in.

Yeah, very interesting indeed. I am unemployed since mid january; even PI´s have been dragged to hell by the fucking crysis. I really thought that we would have even more work to do, but it´s been quite the opposite!

If you're looking for proof that God doesn't exist, don't bother investigating the big stuff, like earthquakes or famine or tsunamis. Start small. Right now, I've got a sore throat and as far as I'm concerned that's evidence enough.

The constant awareness is the worst part. Usually I walk around blissfully unaware of my throat. I never think 'ooh, aren't I lucky to have a throat?' or anything like that. But right now I'm bloody obsessed with it. I'm also extremely conscious of just how often I must nonchalantly swallow saliva in an average day without even realising, because suddenly it hurts like hell each time it happens. Every few minutes it feels like I'm trying to squeeze a splintered cupboard door down my neck - yet I can't stop doing it. It's fucking humiliating.

I've got a cold and moderately sore throat now too.

Yeah, great. In fact, I think I'll invite Lee to one of my atheist seminars I give out every Sunday at my local atheist church to all the other atheists. And then afterward we all discuss atheist things like worshiping science and atheist scientists. Atheism is a wonderful religion. Go atheism.

*sigh*

Joking aside, I don't consider myself atheist. I hate that word!

That guy with Tom Cruise must be all of 3 feet 8 inches tall if the Cruise man is towering over him.

Now that made me laugh.

School's closed babe?

I'm going to have to rethink this.
Even though "on paper" I've got things pretty much under control, the sheer amount of stress-inducing factors in my life right now apparently is now working itself into my system.

I dream about it, and when I wake up it's more often than not with a jolt, and immediately starting to think, ponder and strategize so that I'm unable to get back to sleep. And there are some more stupid little physical tell-tale signs (classic reduction of physical resistance and such).

This is NOT a good thing, and I think I should quite urgently need to find a way to "reset" (or at the very least reduce stress levels). There is nothing in a practical sense I can set aside or postpone right now, so it'll have to be stress-reducing techniques, rather than a practical reduction.

That's cool. I know the drill. I know some techniques, and if I run out, I know where I can find more help.
Even writing the whole thing down apparently helps (yeah people, I'm just using you here )

But I am unbelievably annoyed that my mind is "betraying" me like this.
I would have thought I'd easily handle the whole work-life-study balance thingy even in these challenging times.
That there still appears to be some mental and physical fall-out I find bitterly disappointing.
(Yeah, I know. That doesn't help much either. Acceptance. Zen. Ooooommmmmm....
Or install some utterly bloodthirsty computer game where I get to take a bazooka to zombies with impunity or something).

YOU ARE UTTERLY MONOMANIACAL!

(But you do have a point )

Played Halo online for almost 4 hours continuously and now got a moderate headache...

Stavi, are you still in Sparta? If yes, what are you doing there since you're not working now?
