Pony Joe's: Post Not-So-Great Things That Happened
This thread is for venting about bad things that happened and hopefully getting some catharsis and/or words of encouragement in return. It doesn't matter how big or small the issue is, remember that your problems do matter and the rest of us are here to help!
To start: I have a fairly big baseball bobble-head collection, and today I accidentally brushed against one of them on my shelf and knocked it over, where it landed directly on my acoustic guitar, breaking the bobble-head into three pieces and putting a big ol' gash in my guitar.

Can this thread still be called Pony Joe's? Because that was a great short form name to use, really.

I had a mild cold over the weekend, which went away by Sunday, but then it came back with a vengeance yesterday. Went to the doctor today and it turns out I have acute bronchitis.

Re: Pony Joe's: Post Not-So-Great Things That Happened
OK... The news I got may have been a prank cuz the number that called me called me 2 weeks ago stating my mother wanted me to call her.... Which is amazing considering she died in 2013

My grandfather got hit with a scam call not too long ago. They convinced him that I was in jail and he needed to call someone to pay my bail. He called me right after and confirmed I was okay, but they still got a little bit of his money.Perrydotto wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 10:01 pmDefinitely block that number, then.

Re: Pony Joe's: Post Not-So-Great Things That Happened
I need a job and every time I need to look for one I have to have people tell me "apply for *insert fast food chain* because I'll instantly get the job. Never mind that I am not physically able to do that. I can't lift more than 20lb I cant be on my feet cuz of the nerve damage on my foot. Sure I fly a fucking sign for hours on end, but standing on a corner holding a sign is not labor intensive. Walking around the restaurant lifting extremely heavy foods and what not and scrubbing toilets is completely different.

Dad just went into surgery. He should be done later tonight. Then it's a month in rehab. Hope he will be alright after this.

I just got the call, the surgery went horrible wrong. His blood pressure dropped, they are saying he might be paralyzed from the neck down. They don't know for sure until tomorrow morning...

He got his feeling back on this left side but still can't feel his right foot. The MRI didn't show any problems. They are thinking it might be swelling on his spine causing this but we won't know until it goes down. Here is hoping for the best.

Re: Pony Joe's: Post Not-So-Great Things That Happened
Everywhere I go, people keep telling me that a junior developer looking for a job in my position has ample choice of employer, but I tell them where the actual fuck ARE these jobs? No employer ever gets back to me and nothing I do ever changes this result. How people are SURPRISED at how much trouble finding a goddammn job is for me really pisses me off because somehow, I'm clearly missing something, but not a single fucking person will tell me what it is!

My cat has been barfing every 10-15 minutes for the past 2 and a half hours, so it's vet time.

Vet said he was fine and that he probably ate something that upset his stomach, even though I have no idea what it could've been. They gave him fluids and some special food that won't irritate his stomach. He's only barfed once since coming home. Progress!

Got a call from the clinic that did my blood test.
Overall, nothing too major, although they said my cholesterol is a bit high, and said I should cut back on junk food and be more active.
Welp

That's true. I was more worried about what my blood sugar level is, but they didn't even mention it, so I'm taking it's nothing serious with that.

Sup fellow (soon-to-be) gallbladder non-haver?
I got mine out back in 2004. My dad had to get his out too, so I guess gallstones run in the family. The surgery is extremely common and rarely has complications, assuming you're getting it removed laparoscopically. The worst side effects for me were shoulder pain (from air bubbles floating to the top of your body) which went away within 48 hours, the kind of icky feeling that your guts are sloshing around inside your abdomen, which took about a week before everything settled, and for about 6 months after surgery, if you ever eat a particularly greasy meal, it will go right through you. Your liver needs to compensate for having no gall bladder, and it takes a while before it figures out how much bile it needs to produce to manage your diet.

Re: Pony Joe's: Post Not-So-Great Things That Happened
I hate paperwork.
Gotta go to the migration department tomorrow to get my card renewed, for which I needed a statement from my employer that I'm still employed. I also need a copy of the rental contract, which they already got last year but because of bureaucracy they need it again. I'm bringing the receipt from the last rent payment just in case they ask for something like that. I actually have to take a day off just to get this all arranged, as there's always queues in the early morning, and it's in the center of the city.
Along with that, we are looking to buy a house. In order to get a mortgage, we need our wedding license translated and notarized. But this can only be done if we get it stamped by the Belgian government. Of course we only find this out after we sent it out to be translated. So now we have to wait for it to be returned to us, then send it to Belgium, get Aline's parents to take it to the right department(if we send it there directly it takes at least 10 business days for them to handle it, and screw that), then get it sent back to us, then get it translated and notarized, then we can talk to the bank. And during all of this we have to hope the various postal instances involved take good care of it. Along with that, we also need some additional paperwork from yet another government department, which I'm also going to visit tomorrow.
Just the time we need to get everything arranged is making it annoying.
