The tyranny of Thursday is upon us. Another one of these "not quite the weekend days" that life keeps throwing at us. What has got you fuming on this, the worst day of the week?

I'm fuming about this fainting condition I have. Passed out in the loo last night and went face first into some drawers. Cut my cheek open really deeply, nearly all the way through, and need a specialist to stitch my face back together. Been waiting 8 hours in A&E and a bit more time to wait.

Not the NHS fault, they're doing great with thy funding they have and also the senior doctors strike happening today.

Ack that's rough, hope you get sorted soon.

Thank you! I just wanted to have somewhere to complain and get sympathy 😊 been lucky to have friends drop by with snacks and company though so not all bad

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Wow, those friends are amazing! Party in the A&E waiting room, why not I suppose 😄

I've always maintained that Wednesdays are actually the worst day of the week because even if for some inexplicable reason time started to move backwards, it would still be just as long until the weekend. This deep philosophy brought to you by TeaHands, age 8.

Nowadays I also hate Wednesdays because it's my busiest work day and weekly projects need to be wrapped up and released, but on the bright side Thursdays are basically full of relief before the panic of next week's project really starts to build.

Anyway. A complaint. I have to sleep with earplugs in because of a noise situation in our bedroom, and we found Loop earplugs which are super comfy to wear and fit me well and don't fall out or give me headaches or whatever. BUT I now spend all day every day feeling like there are phantom earplugs in my ears and it's really disconcerting.

Almost half day Friday. My back is still killing me and I hate it.

Backs are the worst. When are humans going to evolve into jellyfish-like creatures? Next month hopefully.

I, for one, are taking the kids shoe shopping.

It's lovely and sunny today; a beautiful day to be anywhere but at work, but the weekend is due to be miserable.

My partner went out on the town last night. Didn't get home until gone 3am and woke me up because she didn't understand I have work today and need my sleep. Think I got about 5 hours overall. Tired is an understatement! Why don't you women have a ninja switch?

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You need some of those earplugs I was talking about in my own complaint 😆

[–] Fog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They from amazon? I'm actually thinking of ordering some based on your description 😂

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not sure if they're on Amazon but it's these ones. They do all kinds of fancier versions but I just went with the basic Quiet ones that shut out as much sound as possible. No regrets!
