[Closed] I'm in a grump...come join me...

I always go quiet when I'm in a grump

*says nothing*

Got ear ache and it is raining.

Welcome to my grump.

[img] [/img]

Aren't you going on a big ride of great joy tomorrow. The whole country is going to be rained on except the bit you're riding in!

Anyway, I can't go on that ride 🙁
My job is in the balance (well the mgmnt are cocking about with job roles, gawdhelpus) 🙁 🙁
My woman has gone freaked out and gone all menopausal 🙁 🙁 🙁

Could've had a better week to be honest.

Maybe it's the first stages of ebola, op?

I'm pee'd off too, as I was supposed to finish a job today so it didn't affect anything next week...the rain has stopped that though! 🙁

Just put an expensive scrape on my car getting it out of the garage for photos prior to selling it 🙁

NO.

I have a giant blister, giant vet bill, giant foot pain, giant financial loss on scrapped car, giant cheap carb-induced muffintop and am consequently a giant Grumplestiltskin.

All true except the grumpy bit, but thought I'd play anyway...may be grumpy tomorrow

Last night - 8 month old baby woke me at 10:30, 11 then 12. Half 12, dog was barking went down into dark kitchen and trod in a pile of puke. Find 3 more pukes, clear them up. Dog puking as quick as I can clean them up, Went back to bed at 1. Half 1 dog barking again for a repeat puke and clear session. Back to bed at 2. 2:30 8 month old baby boy awake again. Back to bed at 3. Half 3 finally my wife wakes (who can sleep through an earthquake) she goes to feed woken baby boy and traps a nerve in her neck - wife and baby both screaming. 3 year old daughter wakes. Dog barking again. half four everyone is settled again, apart from I'm massaging wifes sore neck and shoulders as she dozes off. Back to sleep at 5, baby boy awake at 5:20 to start the day. Walk pukey dog, come to work. Sit here in a grump all day.

Still, 2 hours of BMXing at Rush Indoor Skatepark tonight if I can keep my bl**dy eyes open

I'm in London City Airport waiting for a flight to Gibraltar.. 😐

You should have a go at 24hr solo races. That's a breeze compared to that

I have just had a piece of cake and a cup of tea and I am still in a grump. It wasn't especially nice cake.

Brant your BMX red-eye photoshop link on the other thread just cheered me right up for a few minutes 😀

Mmm, cake. How can you be angry at cake?

Dave Buchanan's 57 hours end to end and back again ride, driving the support van was easier than my young children 😉

How can you be angry at cake?

Not angry, just disappointed. And grumpy. 😕

My job is also rubbish today, my ride tonight is cancelled due to forecast double drop, so no stress busting endorphin raised ride for me plus I have my 1 saturday a month at work tomorrow so can't even stay up late drinking beer to excess to booze away my woes.
meh!

I've scratched a bite enough to make it bleed. Still itches

averaging 3-4 hours sleep over last ten nights due to bloody genetic insomnia, curse my mothers chromosonal heritage.......

60 miler road ride yesterday in which I blew up spectacularly at 30 mile mark and felt very ill for about 10 miles (did manage 5 hours kip though)

First day of not being the Man From Oncall so thought I'd treat myself to gluten free lager instead of cider only to find every bloody supermarket in a 20 mile radius has run out!

arrrrgh

And I spent all day today finding out that my colleague who is on holiday and earns far more than I do has not being doing his job properly and now I'm tasked with picking up the pieces.

Won £2 on a £2 scratch card yesterday. Doubled up the same today and won £5. 2 more of the same and a £1 one next, I'm beating the system!

WHOOOOOOP!

Stop interrupting when I'm gnawing on my own liver.

I've scratched a bite enough to make it bleed. Still itches

spit on it.

Today I gave up smoking, anything with refined sugar in(all the nice stuff) and alcohol for a month. Sigh.

Happy as Larry

Jobs done Books and paper read Crossword done Mrs showing up soon after a 2 day absence Food in the fridge Bikes and lycra all clean Beer money in pocket Raring to go, more ump than grump

Wrecker I've been off the fags for 2 yrs now, stick with it, it's do-able even after 40 odd yrs of smoking lots

I'm in a proper grump today, made worse by my estate agent hanging up on me in a pissy fit. Estate agents are all scum.
Grumps suck.

Woke up and it was raining. Rubbish.

Had to take daughter to pre-school. Fighting local traffic is poop.

Having to dig through loads of boxes in the garage just to find everything I need because we've not long moved house and haven't got enough of the renovation finished to unpack everything. Grrrr.

Putting stuff where I know I can find it. Tedious.

Packing the car so I can spend the next 2 days in the Blue Ridge Mountains (yes, those ones) and get qualified as a ride leader here in the USA.

BRILLIANT!

Can't get myself going to write up my dissertation.

Bored, stuck in office at home - rewriting same case study.

and sun has gone away so less opportunity for productive procrastination on my bike

Two more 12hr night shifts to do, tonight and tomorrow night.
Gwump.

Jeez, here's a grumpy cah. 😐

Think there's a dead bird in the garden, or least there's masses of feathers. Tomorrow the estate agent is holding an open house for the property. I can't cut all the grass due to said dead bird.

I've also got to tidy my bikes away. And I've got to get up early and be be out of the house for 4.1/2 hours. It's due to be bloomin' well raining so potential buyers can watch the rain dripping through the ceiling. 😐

Sunday is riding day and meeting a friend halfway for lunch. 8)

No. Work is almost done and then I am hopping in that van I converted to go ride bikes with some awesome folks. It's probably going to be very wet and thundery tomorrow, but between now and then theres bbq, beer and fun to be had! ITS THE WEEKEND! Go ride bikes and de-stress people! 😀

I've had an abcess in my tooth since boxing day(note the specific day),my brand new phone packed up this morning meaning I had to take the afternoon off work and go and sort it,it's raining,it's raining,it's raining,it's raining and I'm skint,now do you feel happy???

I'm always grumpy. Boo.

I was on my way to Brighton to see the Mike Hall talk then meet some old mates. Someone has jumped in front of a train at Ealing Broadway. I'm now stuffed as trains into London are a disaster. So had to go back home. Had a hotel booked and have now lost the cash for that. I'm well f****d off.

Mid year (job) review- "you occasionally come across as grumpy".

Must try harder, occasionally is just not good enough.

Fvcken stupid Australian's.

Friday night. Chippy tea? Half 7...Every chippy I drove to, phoned, Googled closing at 8pm.

Decided on a Chinese and some beer. After much driving around I found one that was still open (at 10pm!) Last customer in, "order quick we closing!!!"

Can you guess what happened with the beers? Yup... The 4 local bottle shops all closed. There's one in town open late but I couldn't be arsed driving any more.

Still, least I can watch some catch up TV on the 'net now my VPN's all up and running. Except my woefully inadequate bandwidth won't even load up my fricken Gmail.

Oz-fail.

DrP - have a great time on your gravel ride, that'll bring a smile to your face. 😀

Last day of our week in Peebles. 🙁 Have had 2 great days at the Games, 2 great days in Edinburgh, 2 good days at Glentress getting my kids used to Scottish style green rated trails rather than tarmac-ed English Sustrans routes.

Tomorrow I have to drive 5-7 hours home in what is forecast to be pishing rain, and I bet we don't time it right for the first services stop to be at Tebay. 🙄

Then next week I have to go back to an uncertain job, uncertain elderly parents, and my normal life.

Not grumpy, just very 😥

after months of shoulder pain(calcifying tendinitis)injections into tendon,steroid injections,pain killers still in pain.now my other shoulder getting similar pains now,prob got it in that shoulder too..
that plus some arse has decided to pinch a fence stump from outside my house while i was in the house..talk about cheek.
on the plus side im off work today and have a bottle of wine with my name on it waiting for me.
if i can lift the blinkin glass,(is it uncouth to drink wine through a straw)? 😉

Well I'm grumpy AND unemployed! the two are possibly connected 😡

@TheDoctor - but you are back in work August 23rd?

impropmtu few beers last night with a mate who was unexpectedly in the area.

got in at 4 this morning.

new team leader in super excited 'lets make this a really fun day' mood

[img] [/img]

Mine started last night. Was having a great ride home then with 30miles under my belt and 10 to go, the old Pedestrian Two Step dance was enacted on the cycle path taking me out, buckled my front wheel and left me with a very sore jaw. Was forced to make the "call of shame" to get me home.
Today Edinburgh is in Festival/Tattoo mode, takes 3 times as long to get anywhere and the knobend security jackets for the tattoo are outside now shouting at the tourists. Welcome to Edinburgh, now **** off!
I paid a shade under £200 for a new back wheel and they dont even include a fn skewer, but did include two spokes, what do I do with them then?

Feeling like shit been a couple of weeks now without a ride and now think whatever is wrong with me is gone to my chest. Got a new Garmin and Sidi Shoes that have not had an outing and making me even more miserable. Going through some malt whiskey at a rate of knots for medicinal purposes and that's also making me feel worse as I can't ride the extra calories from it off.

- but you are back in work August 23rd?

Unfortunately not, unless i find a new job before then!

New work-supplied car is an insignia. A ******* [i]insignia[/i].

Time to butter up enterprise lass/lad (whatever it takes in times like this).

Denied promotion again for third time. Very grumpy. Time for a new job.

I was really looking forward to doing the 'Ard Rock Enduro tomorrow.

But my back has gone all spasm-like after sitting too long in the car for the past few days and I can hardly move without making old man noises, and it's going to p*** down the whole weekend.

I am a joy right now.

I'm grumpy that I can't join you in your grumpy moods.

I love being grumpy me

But

Last day for two and a bit weeks... first Woolacoombe then Crete

De-mob

See ya...... Grumpsters

Be careful where you put the butter. Take photos anyway

I'm counting on where the butter goes. Photos are part of the [s]blackmail[/s] negotiations.

Ah, so you are not [i][b]The[/b][/i] Doctor then, are you?

I'm in one of these at the mo - courtesy hire car..
Nice spec, but gutless engine (2l TDI). And no parking sensors. Harumph..

DrP

Pah! STW alpha make types don't need parking sensors

Had hoped to get out on the bike tonight cos the forecast tomorrow is rubbish but instead I've been lying on the sofa with a sore stomach. Meh!

My grump began yesterday an hour after I'd left Antur Stiniog. Got to the M56 and all hell broke loose. Turned a 4h drive into a 6 and a half hour one. Back into work today coming down from yesterday's adrenaline high to a job I'm only doing for the next two weeks until I hand my notice in. No motivation whatsoever.

Errrm I seem to be in the wrong thread. I'm quite chirpy me, nothing to complain about and my lovely new Reynolds Assault wheels turned up today so gear freakery is on the agenda. /smuggit

My username says it all 😉

My local is closing down to be converted into an Indian Resturant. I'm teetotal, but I think the heart of what's left of our community around here is being ripped out.

It's only last year another pub was demolished with planning permission for flats to be built and now it's never gone through and is just wasteground.

Had a decent ride out this afternoon as I finished work at 1pm, the rain came along and I chickened out on the way home as my light was running low on battery so jumped on the train and no one asked me for any payment.......

Come on guys grump over it's only the weekend [img] [/img]

went out to tint the windows on my car with a kit i bought off ebay, ive done it before no problems.
had everything prepped, weather was perfect, flat calm, not sunny hot (7am)
just as i began to peel the backing off there was a massive gust of wind and the film stuck to itself. when i attempted to unstick it, the colour came off.
so, without hesitation i rolled the lot up and binned it.
i came back upstairs to find the cat had managed to remove my telescope from the shelf its sat on for 3 years straight down onto 3 bikes that were sat in front of it.
trying to remain calm, i opened the balcony door to let her out and she instantly knocked over a plant.
so im stuck here, with no money, little fuel in the car, very little to eat, and my wife doesnt finish work until 9pm.
im going to have a great saturday.
EDIT: i actually cant even see any point to being grumpy, cos it wouldnt cover it.

Enough money to buy gangsta tints but not food? Hey ho.... At least you've plenty if time to fix the bikes and strangle the cat 🙂

kit was bought for me by the wife a few months ago, we do have money, but its in my wifes purse, and she cant have her phone with her when shes working.

I rode up a mountain in the snow.

I'm feeling like I'm living in a Dilbert cartoon. Seriously pissed off.

New job time.

Proper ****ing grumpy.
Little Cuz is coming to our village carnival.
This will be her last, lung cancer will kill her before Xmas.
Very very angry at those who promote cigarettes to children.
The media for making it seem 'cool'.
She started at 15 and struggled to stop.
Seems she will be quitting shortly.
Dead at 47, leaves two teenage kids the same ages as mine.
**** every last one of them.
Proper ****ing grumpy.

Word! feel like i'm working in a creche most days and some people appear to be bulletproof

On the upside, Baby-Boba took her first solids this morning and she had more bounces than Tigger, so swings and roundabouts

One of the cats threw up in the kitchen last night and I trod in it this morning. WITH BARE FEET.
