Welcome to the third version of the Mad, Sad, & Frustrated thread. bye.gif

We received a howler from the Ministry of Magic informing us that the old thread was exceeding maximum occupancy, so naturally we had to close it. The old thread can be found here and you're welcome to quote from it.

This roomy, new thread has plenty of room for you guys to vent about all of life's little (and big) annoyances.

i still can't get over my frustration the other night when i had an argument with mom. i understand what she was trying to point out however, i can't help but feel pressured that she wants me to do something for the family. i've wanted to tell her how i feel but i don't think she will understand, maybe she might think of me as a selfish daughter for thinking of myself before our family. sometimes i feel like a failure.

I am stuck in a Cul de sac. It's very upsetting. I am trying to finish off a few projects I started with the Art Gallery/Auction House - then leave. That means they can keep their inconsiderate battle of me being an Art Director tit - because my resume is going to list it. TOUGH!

I have one Art Market on Sunday, a Fabrice Exhibition (Concubine - why oh why did they pick this title - it's going to be one the toughest shows for me to make perfect - get all the images framed right - select what will sell, and just hope people buy. At least the poster and the flier is well executed this time, and the word does not look so offensive.

Me, I like Jake and Dino's Chapman - yet I am having a hard time mounting a show that barely comes close to what they do. I also want just to make my own art on special hand made paper, especially a social commentary series.

I have some more graphic designing to do on Thursday for a Book Fair, and also for one of their most important book auctions of the year. I need to leave and not sure I can just even finish the Book Auction but I have to just to leave while I have done what I could with what little budget they left since they spent it all on their 'summer vacation'.

Emotionally I am pushed too far. I just want to create my own art, work on my writing, illustrate my own books at this right moment. I finally took all the Art I stored in the Kitchen out and put it in the Art Studio. It's such a mess- but it seems relatively undamaged; I have to re-order it again and match it to all the data I have for it since I am starting a new code system for new works from 2009.

I feel like my gut's are kicked out. I feel people will judge me now that I am just an Artist, Sculpture and Writer instead of an Art Director for time since I have Autism/HIV AIDS. I wish people would instead of look at me with some respect that I was a Art Director Intern and did quite a lot of work to upgrade this gallery.

It's just a title. I asked one of my mates to back me in leaving. I want to leave on a positive note, but after all the notes I wrote of what has not been happening correct for me in my position there - it's more bad than good. I want to leave before I loose anymore of myself.

I also want to just make some Harry Potter fan art for fun. I haven't had fun in ages, or being happy, or really enjoying my life. So I am back to just being an Artist just before Halloween 2009. I hope people on this site back me in leaving as well to come my from own accomplishments with graphics and art. I can make better Graphics on my own - then just print them out as limited edition posters. I want to be happy again... as an artist. artist.gif even my horoscope points this out:

Agony and Ecstasy:

There's no middle ground for you right now -- but no matter which extreme your situation turns toward, you'll end up being glad it went that way once you've gotten some perspective. That means no pouting or whining about it in the meantime. It all happens for a reason.

I have to confront the production manager into reimbursing me when she should. I feel like I have lost another weekend. This KunstCupyt is not a party for me? It's a means to an end so I can go out - out of my neighborhood and meet some people. I feel like I am vaulted next door and I need to tear away.

I have an Art Opening next week to do - that really is not a party at all for me. I plan the event, make sure everyone is fine, and hopefully a few people buy some art, then people start some buzz about the Art around town.

I really wanted to go out tonight - and she did it to me again! I have to confront her on it tomorrow. I might be Autistic, but hell, even I need a chance to go out; that does not mean the gallery that is next door to where I live - that does not count - NADA!

Pain medication is not doing anything for me. I see the Neurologist next week. It hurt so much to get really out of my neighborhood this morning. I keep taking some but nothing is helping.

That woman who hit me with her car was such a horrible human piece of waste. She did a hit and run. Police are still trying to find her - with no luck. She has no idea of the physical damage she did to my legs I have to live with the rest of my life. Some people are without insides - nada, empty compartments.

I have a good Neurologist - he willl sort it. 'Don't worry!".

I have two jobs. Job number 1 is fully aware that I work at job number 2 on Wednesdays and Thursdays EVERY week as this was a condition upon me being hired. So, why is it that while I am working at job number 2, job number 1 wont stop calling me? While I was in the middle of a lesson, job number 1 called several times and left a few messages, asking me to come into work when they know fully well that I am unavailible on Wednesdays. After my first few lessons had ended, I took a break and called job number 1, and my manager seemed all put out that I couldnt come into work last minute (because someone called in sick). I told my manager that I was at job number 2 and could not leave, and my manager acted like I was severely putting her out!!! What the heck??? She KNOWS I am unavailible. So naturally that would mean that I cant fill in for other employees that call in sick. Furthermore, how is it my problem when there are 25 other employees she can call...and SHE KNOWS I cannot work on Wednesdays!!! Ugh! It just drives me nuts! This job is at an art store and the people act like its the CIA. They make selling paint, canvas, pencils, and pastels the most stressful job ever!!! To make matters worse, I dont get paid very much (around 400 bucks a month) and my job responsibilities keep increasing, however my pay rate does not. Plus,n they want me to work late, yet I get written up for going over allotted time...it just makes no sense. I am soooooooooo tired of working here and dealing with this BS.

I am so sick and tired for being critized for the books I read!

If another person tells me that the only reason I enjoy the HP books is because of Dan Rad I am going to go off my head! I read the books BEFORE the movie! Dan Rad has NOTHING to do with it! The genius of JK Rowling has everything to do with the fact I love the books!

Yes I do love the Twilight series GET OVER IT! Again I read it BEFORE it was a movie! NOTHING TO DO WITH RPATZ!

Oh and Yes I have a love for Classic books - its called good taste and educating myself!

I like to read books from the 1800's I enjoy books that are in Old Irish or Old English.

I can be a teenie if I want to but I would rather sit and have an indepth discussion about a book and its characters then talk about "like omg don't you just loooooove Edward Cullen? he is like perfect"

Honestly!

Some people need a good slap across the face.

End of rant

and I just want to mention although I am new to this forum I love it to death!

Finally intelligent people having proper discussions about the books (and appreciating the beauty of the characters ;) ) without being complete t*ssers !

I thankyou!

Nevermind that I asked specifically - FOR DUTCH PASSPORT PHOTOS - the old woman still gave me the wrong ones. I at least have the code number so if it's still in their computer next week I can have them re-printed up. What a waste of time - and they look so good too! At least all of my photos that I need for where I go will all look a bit smashing for this year. I have plenty of them now, Like 4 different envelopes of photos of me looking totally different in each one.

Funny - a bad but possibly good thing artist.gif . I just have to prepare to re-shoot again if it's messed up! Meanwhile It wasted what cat money I did have so I will have to beg friends to help me with the cats.

Meanwhile the exhibition is a bit of a chaos right now but I should be able to get it all right by sunday when the opening is. IT's just giving me a lot of headaches right now since my design has now changed several times.

I was glad not many people did see me today. I was in such pain with my legs. Just a few more days to see the Neurologist. I feel like I had Frankenstein legs and it was very hard to walk without wincing.

Oh - wow- the exhbiton is really a tough one one me. I hope I can put it together in ONE NIGHT before it opens! We have conflicting auctions at the galley which I am glad they can hire other people for.

It's just getting this done - and when I am not in so much pain. I will have to make notes of what subjects go where because I don't have much in me at the moment. Pain is really wrecking me - my legs hurt so bad.

I eventually had to leave - and give the direction for how the exhibition should look. For the most part when I had taken a break - they did a great job.

I am just disappointed in my self. First exhbition where I was not able to be there for the completion of it. I am just hoping today I that I don't go - why did they do this when I told them not. The Production Manager and I have fights at times and one was when she removed one of the racks. If she is wrong when I see the exhibition today I will tell her to stop messing with the
outlines I set up for them.

AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH! so frustrating. headdesk.gif

very sad, not just for me, but for the whole country. we were just struck by typhoon and 80% of Manila was submerged in flood. a lot of people died and more than 60,000 families were affected. people including children were exposed to hunger and rain for almost 24 hours, they were stranded on top of their roofs because the flood has reached almost 7-8 feet already, submerging their entire homes and their belongings. rescuers had a difficult time coming to their aid because of the flood.

Image 1
Image 2

i was stuck at home with my family. we lost electricity for almost 36 hours and we have to make do with news on the radio on my phone. the entire saturday night was really awful, hearing phone calls from callers all over the metro especially the flooded areas, where they are calling for help because the flood was rising fast at that time. they have no food, no water and it was still raining hard that time. sad.gif we were lucky that we have food at home that we don't have to go out and buy. but these people who were stranded at the top of their roof were really pitiful. it was an awful weekend for me, in general.

on the other hand, i'm grateful my family was with me safe and sound.
