Facebook still is not working for me - "Site Maintenance" for the past week and a half.

Meanwhile, I'm so sick of all my fanfic communities. Almost every story posted lately has warnings for rape and torture, it seems. WTF? I mean, seriously, does it take pure fucking evil to get through people's skins these days or what?

And work is so fucking irritating I don't even want to talk about it. Friday I was nearly convinced I'd have to go back on Zoloft just to keep from having a brain aneurism from my blood pressure. So much stupid.

Actually, the whole world just seems full of stupid and evil. Maybe I should actually go back on the Zoloft for the winter. Because obviously I'm over all very irritable.

I have had a nice weekend, though. Maybe I should just take more weekends. Take an extra weekend in the middle of every week. Mmmmmaybe not. I'd use up all my leave time rather quickly.

The world is full of horribleness, and the fact that our society is so media-driven, means that we're bombarded with it all the time. So, we're inured to it and as you rightly point out, it's takes that much more shocking content to get people's attention. We're in a downward spiral that doesn't portend anything good for our society, that's for sure.

With the days getting so much shorter and cold, I'm sure that isn't helping your mood any. The Zoloft will probably help a great deal.

Here's something that might cheer you up; I've reserved the cottage in England already. I checked the site, and lots of weeks were already booked, including the one I wanted for later in the month. So I booked for April 10th through the 17th. So if it's at all possible please talk eor into going again! :)

I wish to heck we could have another channel on besides CNN at work. We're only allowed to watch CNN if we have the TV on, and it's not like they even do good news coverage so I don't get what the point is. I don't understand even having a TV in the break room - why do people want more noise when they have a chance to get away from the noise at the checkpoint? I know people would hate me if I got the TV taken away, but I do turn it off every time it seems to me nobody is really paying attention to it and a guy with an annoying voice comes on. That Beck guy who's name was all over all the magazines and newspapers last week (he must have put on a media blitz for his own friggin self) is one of the people I turn off. Cannot STAND his voice. And then that young black guy, I don't recall his name. He's especially bad because he flubs his lines and then tries cover by pretending he's getting wound up. Over nothing.

Re England - trying, but at the moment Eor doesn't want to commit because he's afraid that we won't have jobs, then. I thought that if I bought tickets and paid for them now at least even if we didn't have jobs we'd have a trip to England to cheer us up. I'm trying to keep an eye on ticket prices, anyway, so that hopefully the minute he's feeling more comfortable we can snap them up. :)

Whut, even jooster?? *goes to check*

EDIT: Also, sorry to lurk. Stumbled your way and like your stories, so that is why.

There may be Jooster stories recently which haven't got rape and torture warnings, but there have been increasingly more over the past couple of years which have had, which I find so completely wrong. I mean, Wodehouse is my happy place, the fluff world away from all true evil, so those sorts of warnings in that comm, even though it's less often, feel like the ultimate betrayal.

And re lurking - no prob. Though I guess I was a bit surprised to find someone I didn't really know was reading such an entry.

zoloft

maybe they should give out zoloft when they issue us uniforms LOL! i think that would help the demeaner of the annoying ones and if not, we wouldn't mind them so much....
