Post something that made you UNHAPPY today.

I recently sent you a video to watch. You praised it with a superlative. If you'd actually watched it you would have known why I thought you'd enjoy it, and you'd have commented on the part that was actually interesting. You could have made me feel like I was a part of your life in three minutes. You might have even enjoyed it.

I listened to your favorite music and became a fan, and you were delighted. You never expressed any curiosity about my favorite music. I made it easy and created a list of my favorite albums. You didn't so much as look at it, did you? Hell, it's all old music, you've probably heard most of it, you probably wouldn't have even had to spend time listening to it to tell me something you like. Or razz me for my taste. But you did nothing with that hint. Nothing at all.

Things lost
Things wanted
Blue things
Blue skies
Life came with too much cost
Life haunted
Red stings

Decided to do some DYI car maintenance. And as usual when I do car maintenance, it was Murphy's Law all the way.

Almost everyone at the workplace has covid and are in quarantine. I don't know how i will manage all the workload by myself

I used to attend Buffy meetups. Monthly, if I recall. I stopped going for a few years, and then looked them up again and attended. It was semi-public, as in anyone could join the meetup, request the address and attend. I did essentially that, but they did remember me.

As with all social groups I become part of, I found that they had become close friends and were doing events outside the meetups. I wasn't there for a while, so I couldn't really be disappointed I wasn't included, but of course I've seen this before and fully expected that had I been there, I still would have been excluded.

They were discussing one of these upcoming events. I expressed interest. They were friendly and they answered my questions and included me in the conversation.

But they didn't invite me.

That was the last Buffy meetup I attended.

I used to attend local sci fi cons. I ran some events so I knew the organizers. For the last con I attended, one of the prominent people, someone I know well enough to have attended some of her non public events, but not exactly a close friend, was having health and financial problems, and there were benefit events at this con. I was there pretty much only to do one of those, and I contributed financially. Since I was doing the benefit thing, I had access to the con organizers and prominent guests. They were planning a dinner outing. I expressed interest in attending.

I was told, in voice, body language and facial expression, as if they were talking to a child, that there was not enough room to include me.

They were collecting food orders for people not going to dinner. We were pretty much snowed in, and I had eaten nothing but cookies all day, so getting dinner from someone willing to brave the snow was appealing. I expressed interest in having an order placed with everyone else's. They listened to what I wanted but they didn't take any money, so I didn't expect them to bring me food. And they didn't.

That was the last sci fi con I attended.

Insulted.

I loaned you my graphics tablet when you were down on your luck and yours broke. I did that despite you being rotten to me. You've since gotten your s**t together and are doing just fine. Got any plans to return it?

airbnb is f'd on the head

The fact this site doesn't have a functioning block system.
