Hmm.  Where to start.

Well, my aunt's on her deathbed.  She's had cancer on and off for years, but it sounds like the end is nigh now.  My aunt being who she is, this is a huge drama bomb dropped on the entire family, so I'm trying to take care of my business in the middle of a cross-state crying and screaming match.

I finally have the money to pay my taxes, but I seem to have been strangled by some IRS red tape.  "Oh yeah, you need some new shit we never mentioned before.  We'll send those documents to you in about 15 days."  Ah ha, yes, that'll obviously work, won't it, you stupid fucks.

Speaking of the money to pay my taxes, my main client and his lead developer have gotten into some sort of inter-office power struggle pissing match that I've got to snake my way through somehow.  Basically it comes down to "Hey I want a detailed report of every thing you're doing or I'm going to kvetch about paying you for your time on it" vs "Hey don't tell that guy shit about what you're doing or I'll cut you right off."  As a grossly underpaid external contractor I probably reserve the right to flip them both off and fuck the hell outta there, but, you know, I like pyos.

Anyway, so that's my day so far!

...I haven't even had my coffee yet.

Also, it appears my other client has blown up his server completely this morning.  At this point that's basically his own problem.

If you're wondering why the hell I'm wasting my time here when so much shit is going on, let's just say I've got a pretty long sense of perspective right now.

Hmm.  That apparently wasn't an earthquake, so either somebody hit my house or I'm suffering hallucinations of my entire room shaking violently.  Anything's possible at this point.

Maybe the room is quaking due to your rightful rage.

For some reason I feel like I handled everything despite the fact that not a single goddam thing got resolved, and several new things consequently got broked as a result.

But hey, I mean, at least it can't get any wo

...gotta tell you guys, I'm not thrilled with all the video game/comic book/pet posts going in a thread about actual human beings dying.  Do try to keep a little perspective, eh?

Losing a pet, especially a good one, can be similar to losing a friend. Don't make me post the Fry's dog gif.  :sadpanda:

Split to correct thread.

...actually, for the record, as somebody who's lost two dogs in the past month or so, I'm perfectly okay with Joxam's original choice for his post.  Try not to put words in my mouth, 'kay guys?  (But it works here too.)

Sorry to hear it, buddy.  It's hard.  Not much else I can say.

Something I said to my dad the day he had Barney put down: we all gotta check out sometime.  And given the choice, I hope I don't go the way Barney did.  But I hope when it's all over, I can look back on my life and say it was as good as his.

Maybe we should split the thread into Shit Days and mere Crap Days

All I gotta say is that if your dog was given the chance to live most of its natural lifespan, it made out pretty damn well.

And, er, in case it wasn't, well, shit, sorry.

So I had a heart attack last night due to getting too stressed out over my shitty home situation.

Shit sucks, bro.

I'm only 23.  :sadpanda:

:OoO:

Okay, I get it!  Perspective!  You guys don't have to go all having heart attacks and watching your dogs die to show me that!

But, um, dude, Alex... move out and see a doctor.  Unless you're making hyperbole of course.

Got an appointment tomorrow to either get better medicine or signing up for some stress management classes so I don't bite the bullet before I'm 30.

Do both and move out.  Seriously.  That's some inhuman amount of stress.  You'll end up looking like your avatar.
