What's pissing you off?

Heyho2

I have pms. My work colleagues are choosing.to be stressed about things that are not stress worthy. I don’t have the energy to figure out what they are actually stressed about. Kid is crying and I’m tired of sitting in her room. Dp is is ALWAYS IN THE HOUSE. I got bad cheese as a present and now I dont feel like I can buy good cheese until the bad cheese is eaten. I’m just cranky. That’s all.

Life is too short for shit cheese. Throw it away and buy yourself the cheese that makes you happy.

Everything. I’m in an incredibly bad mood this week and it’s not PMS. I’m just completely overwhelmed with work and life.

Heyho2

I dont whether to like your.post or not @Gum-boots , it’s a solidarity like.

You got cheese as a present??! That alone would have me mad.

Just cheese? Or was it part of a platter/basket?

ETA each one of those things is shit bit the cheese/present thingy triggered a nasty recoil inside me…. I have to know more

It was a thoughtful present. Im just so particular about cheese… had a lovely Quickes cheddar last week. Soooooo lovely 🥰 could really go some more of that .

SatansWoman

Oh-kay your friend’s off the hook 😁

I pictured a block of Bega cheese somehow all wrapped up. Maybe you can make an omlette/jaffle/pizza/mac and cheese with the bad cheese? (Mix it with not so bad cheese, ricotta, parmesan and voilà posh dish with 4 cheeses!)

I threw a meatball as my dp last night. Was cathartic.

I still clearly remember my Mum throwing an entire casserole dish at my Dad. Not quite as violent as it sounds but she’d been at work while he was home with us and he asked her what was for dinner right after she walked in the door. She the one she’d prepared earlier out of the fridge and threw the whole thing across the room. 🤣

Full respect to your mum.

Ha - that brought up a memory of my mum picking the fruit bowl up off the table and kind of rolling (bowling) it up the hall way yelling ‘I just want one nice family dinner can’t you all just be nice to each other’. I get it now. Poor mum.

Cheese as a gift is a thing, but it’s got to be good cheese in one of those little boxes from a place in an obscure market somewhere quaint.

When I first moved to Melbourne and before I was educated on such high-end matters as artisan cheese, my cousin asked me to bring back a special wheel of something from the South Melbourne market- to bring back to our country town as a present for his lady friend. He meant a wheel of French something, but I chose Parmesan. A whole wheel of Parmesan. Cost me $65. Did not have the desired effect on the recipient.

I’m always cranky on some level.

I would have appreciated the parmesan, it keeps well and you can give a chunk of it to everyone you know. Who can’t find a use for parmesan?

In terms of whinges, I am trying desperately to finish my uni assignments after the kids have gone to bed at nights but I have to get up early enough for daughters 9am online class so I’m totally squeezed for sleep and napping randomly to keep going.

Hoping against hope that this lockdown doesn’t drag on any further and praying deeply atheist prayers that I can pass all my units. It wouldn’t have occurred to me that that would be a question at the start of the term but I haven’t studied at university for a long time.

I would love the parmesan (as long as it was the authentic Italian kind, I dont think anybody else has ever mastered that particular cheese.)

I suck at and hate working at night and it’s a constant problem because it’s the only time I get to focus on work. And it’s the only time I get for myself, as well. A normal person would probably balance it out somehow but I just deal with it using my well-honed technique of avoidance. Makes me cranky.

Working at night is a hard gig though (I am supposedly doing it now 😉) - it’s impossible for your mind to be fresh or focused if you’ve been busy with other stuff all day. It’s got nothing to do with you.
