What Grinds My Gears.

[Lexxi[ke35]]

WGMG:

 

I have a maths exam wednesday morning at 8.30.

 

On wednesday at 5 oclock my mega english essay is due.

 

On thursday I have a psych test.

 

Oh and I have like a 4000000000000 word investigation for psych to write between tomorrow and next tuesday.

 

I hate my life.

[Felix]

Oh you poor thing.

 

How are you ever going to cope once you move out and have to deal with the pressures of the real world?

 

Geez life was so much simpler when I was a teenager living at home with mum & dad, and going to high school.

HSC sucked for stress levels, especially if you opted to do overlapping subjects.

 

All your assesments are usually due within a week of each other and on top of that, you try to have some form of a life outside working on school crap.

 

I bitch and moan nowdays about how easy I had it back when I was at school, but in all honesty, the only things I would kill to get back is the sitting around doing nothing, the playing up in class and the wagging class/free periods where we would go do burnouts in the carpark or go to the shops (all those fun things :bash: )

 

Just plug away at it Lexxi, you'll get there eventually.

 

WGMG is mondays, I'm over work and its not even lunch time, I forgot my bag so I'm straining my eyes to look at this dam computer, (I have glasses to wear for reading and crap)

Yea i look back on school life and it was shit, working is way less stressful,

 

But school had its upseides like OrangeLJ said: mucking around, and after mucking around you fail... so to kids that actually try its even harder (like Lexxi).

 

School wasnt easy for me, and i came between first and middle in all my classes, and i didnt try one little bit, but the stuff came easy to me, but i picked subjects i could relate to what ive been brought up with, ie engineering, and metal work, physics, and maths advanced.

 

Keep up with it Lexxi, its year 12 your almost there!! soo close!

EDIT: o and what grinds my gears:

 

angle grinders with wire brush attachments, one just nearly ripped my stomach open when it kicked back on me at work, only scratched me luckily, i pulled the plug out of the socket in time, luckily.

I wish I was back in school. The real world is just a big dissapointment.

 

WGMG is people screwing me around with jobs, I'm so sick of it!

[orangeLJ]

I'm getting the flu (hopefully not swine related)

 

 

that is what grinds my gears big time.

you know whatm I wouldnt be surprised! we froze our tits off in the bunnings carpark next door to the maccas after you left (had some dinner, then just putted next door, was raining too heavy to go anywhere else!)

 

I dunno if you are a member on twincam or not, but if you pop over and have a look in the events thread, there are some pictures from the bunnings carpark later in the night.

Yeah because my life is just school, then hanging out with friends, mucking around, doing nothing.

 

How about you get some idea about what my life is like before you have a go at it next time?

 

And this is not one of those "my life is so hard I only get two days a week to party" things.

 

I pretty run everything in my house, my parents act like lazy alcoholic teenagers, I do everything every day, I travel two hours a day, I have no time for a job, or even friends. The only friends I have left I only see once a month, if that. Add to that I haven't been well since the end of last year so I pretty much fall asleep at 8 oclock every night so I have even less time than most people my age, yeah my life is simple.

 

Maybe if I didn't leave home at 6am and come home at 7pm it would be easier, but it's not. So shut up about things you have no idea about.

[trav_555]

f@$k yea girl, darn right, don't have a go at people about things you have no idea about.

 

Its all good Alex, SCHOOL = OVER SOON :bash:

Hey if you don't want replies to your posts, don't post on a public forum.

 

My wife had it worse than you from what you have just written.

 

She was going to school, working part time, having to feed all the animals, cook the food, do the chores, run after her mum, help out in the family business (with no pay), and help build a house. She had no time to go socialize with friends, even if she had time, as her mum was that strict she wouldn't have allowed it in most cases anyway. In the rare chance she did get to go anywhere she would have to pay her parents fuel money.

 

She was the only one in the family that helped her dad build their house, as the older 2 sisters and one brother couldn't be bothered. She'd do that during the week in the evenings when there wasn't so much on in the family workshop. On the weekends she worked in the local general store from 6.30 to 2.30, and then go home to help with the house. Not to mention having to pay their mortgage out of her earnings (her savings for a car and uni) when times were tough, the older siblings couldn't be bothered helping. She'd leave home at 6.30 in the morning, get to school at 7.30, after school help out at the workshop until 5.30, get home at 6.30 and then have to do all the jobs such as feed dogs, cats, horse, cows, chooks, milk the cow morning and night. etc.

 

The one thing she never did was complain and expect sympathy from others. She never went "oh poor me". Funny thing was she still managed to get an OP of 4 in year 12 even with all the distractions to her study, which she had to squeeze in between 8.30 until she went to bed.

 

Her motto's are "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger", "actions speak louder than words", and finally "positive thinking will get you anywhere".

 

She is a goer, she gave birth naturally to our twins with no drugs, no swearing or yelling. One was breach.

 

So yea, I've got no idea.....

WGMG is whingers who are so much harder done by then everyone else.

[trav_555]

Well when you think about you don't REALLY have any idea, that wasnt your life it was your wifes.

 

And after hearing all that about your wifes life, don't you have sympathy for others who could be in that position or worse, who were you to know Lexxi wasnt in that position or worse. And maybe she just CBF'd telling YOU all the crap that goes on her life, maybe instead of replying and proving her point to some random on an internet forum, she is studying at school so that she can do well, and she is, ive seen her results and she is doing really well.

I wasn't asking for sympathy and saying I'm harder done by than everyone else, I was venting my anger about the work load at school right now. I wasn't going into details about anything until you came up here and replied.

 

Clearly your wife is a better person than me, I don't doubt that at all. I'm not saying I have the worst life out of everyone in the world, I'm saying my life is really busy right now and it makes me angry. I never said you had no idea about life, I said you had no idea about my life.

[Felix]

Sympathy isn't going to get assignments and study finished. It takes time.

 

Clearly your wife is a better person than me, I don't doubt that at all.

 

No, I never said that. It is about prioritising things and getting the important things out of the way first, to make way for You time. Procrastinating here is not going to get all your work done.

This is the not the first time your views have been challenged in this thread, and it probably won't be the last.

 

As Felix said if you don't want people to comment, don't post it up here :y:

 

I have plenty of things in my life that grind my gears from family to work, but some of them are not suitable for here :bash:
