[Officer Pete Malloy]

TLDR: I am ready to f#$$*# kill myself. Shoot me now, please.

We finally made it West a couple days ago. Got keys for the new property yesterday....and it's been nothing other than issues. Way dirtier than is should be. AC isn't working. Garage door openers don't function. Most concerning, the property manager doesn't seem that motivated to jump on anything("We really work for the homeowners. We are doing what we can.") WHAT?! Then work for them. I'm telling you their #### is broken. You are in charge of their property. Fix. It. Please. I'm trying to remain as polite as I can, since I realize they have other duties, but it's getting hard.

On top of that, the movers with our stuff are hitting the late end of their window and probably won't be in town before next Monday(or Tuesday). At least they've been checking in frequently though. Car shipper hasn't returned my calls in 24 hours even though "your car will be in Vegas" earlier today. Great. When is it going to make it that last 7 hours of travel?

Wife is a mess. Literally breaking down every time we remotely find something that isn't "perfect." My poor dog doesn't know which end is up because she's so emotional. He's boucning between being overly "roughneck-y" in an effort to get her to play, barking like a fool cuz he thinks something/someone is hurting her, or slinking off to mope because he thinks he's done something wrong. Best of all? I have to get up in the morning and go in for a meet and greet with the higher ups at the new job and pretend I'm super stoked to get started(I am, actually, but still) and not some "manic depressive"/angry lunatic that wants to die right now so this stops.

The one positive note(well, two I guess. The dog LOVES his new yard....if he could just get to use it more than an hour a day)? Every service provider/stranger I have had to interact with here so far has been ridiculously kind. I don't know if it's because they can tell I'm strung like a crossbow right now or what, but I hope it continues.

I wish I could drink. Heavily. But I can't be hungover tomorrow. FML.

Sucks, man. Where'd you move to again?

I can beat all of these stories for teenage #######-ishness. It's so awful I don't think I can post it, though.

You could tell us how your drunkass broke your collarbone.

Was almost asleep on the couch at about 5:30 or so, but got up to take a whizz. My feet got tangled in the blanket and since the coffe table was right there, I didn't really have any option but to awkwardly kind of dive over to the side of it. Went down hard and kinda sideways and put my forearm out to break my fall...broke my collarbone instead. Also managed to catch my ribs on the corner of the coffee table...thought I broke a couple of those too but turns out just bruised. Which is pretty much just as painful, but doesn't last as long. And I've been coughing and sneezing incessantly for the last three days. So good times all around!

OMG That's how I cracked my ribs last year. My collar bone didn't crumple like i was European royalty

Ooooof......sorry man. On the plus side, Hot August Nights is around the corner and if you love rednecks, muscle cars and rednecks who love their muscle cars, then you'll love this!

Sucks, man. Where'd you move to again?

Reno. Area itself has been pretty good so far. Easy enough to find everything. Certainly enjoying the lack of humidity as opposed to FL. People have seemed nice enough in general so far.

This other stuff though.....I don't think there are enough cat gifs on the innerwebz to dull this crap at present. Keep telling myself it'll just be short-term stress.

Ooooof......sorry man. On the plus side, Hot August Nights is around the corner and if you love rednecks, muscle cars and rednecks who love their muscle cars, then you'll love this!

So, Florida followed me here? Awesome.

 

[krista4]

Sorry, 5-ish. It actually is just short-term stress.

Congrats, GM. TWINS!

'night, all. See you in six months.

You are pretty much the last person who should accuse another of that.

I've taken up the slack left by both Guster's untimely death and Homer's celibacy. Are you not entertained?

Plus, I'm about to quit my job and start a new firm in 2 weeks. Today I spent pretty much all day arguing with the current partners at my firm about why I think they're trying to push me out and steal my clients. Good times.

I like Drake because it is a male duck...and you see, he's a male and perhaps an Oregon fan.

Reports of my demise have been equally understated and overstated

Going with understated, assuming you're not married yet.

Where's Disco Stu been lately? I would have asked this in the missing FBG thread but I can't find it.

Anyone have a line on where I could get some bourbon from the Pappy/Van Winkle line?

My bourbon swilling neighbor just had a lumpectomy and is headed to chemo. She's getting inundated with pink ribbons and lasagna.

I wanted to get her something she would really like. Except the local ABC store said they have a list of 200+ and last year they only got 3 (I assume he was speaking of the top of the line "Pappy" - any in the whole line would be fine.)

Oh, hey guster. Didn't see you there.

OMG That's how I cracked my ribs last year. My collar bone didn't crumple like i was European royalty

Clueless as to why this post doesn't have every like at this point. ####### dying over here.

WTMFG GM!!!

How much are you willing to spend? The 15 yr from last year for example, which retailed at $80, sells for $600-ish on the secondary market.

Yeah. Not spending $600 on her. I mean, it was just Stage I breast cancer. It'd have to be at least Stage III for that, right?

$100-$150 bucks. 12 year or 15 year.
