I seriously planned to be in a good mood this week. I was gonna be all done being pissy about stuff, and I was gonna go around with a smile on my face if it killed me. (Which it totally might have, but I was willing to try it for the good of all mankind.)
But NO. It’s over. I’m not even going to pretend and I refuse to smile and be nice to people. I have a stuffy nose, a cough-y cough, achey ears, a headache and a hurt-y chest. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS WHEN I DO NOT FEEL WELL.
There. It’s out. It’s an ugly truth, but we’re all going to have to live with it.
And so, it only stands to reason that everyone else is stupid today.
And tomorrow.
I know they will be totally stupid again tomorrow, too. There’s no way around it.
All those people at work, and all those customers who should know better than to show up at Bumblefuck Bank & Trust when I don’t feel well, are UNREASONABLE with their needy little selves. RIDICULOUS.
I DON’T CARE if they don’t like service charges. Who the hell ever said banking was not-for-profit? We have plenty of free accounts and free services from which to choose, so if you don’t like service charges, may I suggest maintaining a POSITIVE balance in your account? ‘Cause really, an overdraft is just an unsecured line of credit without your bank’s permission. Guess what? Did you ever get a free loan? NO. NO YOU DID NOT.
Okay. I’m done. Sorry. I’ll try to be more reasonable next week. And yeah, I’ll totally reverse your overdraft charges.

There, there. Nice Blognut. Sshhhhh. How about a nice hot cup of lemon tea and a nap? I'll take care of everything for you while you're napping. I'll even go to Bumblefuck Bank and work for you.
Thanks for reversing my charges. I mean, how was I supposed to know there was no more money in my account for that latte?
There's a lot of stupid at my work too - and it's only Monday. How are we supposed to deal with this crap when we're so obviously better than them all?
I got a cold too!! I wore jeans and my favorite corduroy shirt to work today. I plan to wear one of my favorite sweaters tomorrow. Grab yourself some tylenol cold pills. Just be careful to get the one for runny noses and sneezing. Not stuffy noses.
I always crack up with students who take the wrong cold pill who wonder why it is not working!!
Marry me, JASON. I think I love you a little right now.
CATE I don't know if I'm better than anyone, but I'm waaaay less irritating!
HIT 40 I am usually anti-medication when it comes to this kind of crap. It really just has to run its course.
It's a hard-fast rule, when you are sick you are totally allowed to be bitchy, gritchy, and personality-itchy. How can one be happy-happy, joy-joy when the oxygen supply is cut nearly in half from clogged up nostrils and from dehydration as we turn into mouth-breathers.
Be sure to rest, drink hot tea (doused in liquor--a thumb of whiskey as my Granny used to say), and make a little Sudafed-Benadryl-Advil Smoothie. It's my old stand by.
Feel better. :) Hugs, LadyWanderlust
I am sorry to hear you are not feeling good.. have some chicken soup that will cure you! Feel better blognut
I'm not sick , but I have the mentality that everyone around me is stupid all the time. Maybe I have one of those walking colds, and don't know it?
I want a bumblefuck bank account, as well as a name tag or badge that says I work there.
Yowsa! Feel better. I know you didn't intend for this post to be funny but the post doesn't match your cute Blognut picture. The whole time I read it, that's what I pictured. Hence the giggling.
I saw Jason first.
Sorry. That was childish.
May I remind you that both you and Cheri are taken! If anyone gets to marry Jason, it's me! Hi, Jason! I'm She! I don't know you, and you're probably all taken and everything, but if you're not, then know that Blognut and Cheri are TAKEN. Cheri has multiple spouses and all. Me, I'm free! ;-)
Feel better, my precious Blognut!
I'm holding on even though you're all sicky sick!
Yikes!! You're a toughie. Except why do I wish you were my banker instead of those jerks down at BOA?
What you need is a beer. Don't have the cash? Just put it on the overdraft.
I have a cold too, Jason.
LOL. Awww. I feel your pain. I too am miserable when I'm sick (isn't everyone?). Just tell everyone you'll sneeze on them if they're not on their best behaviour.
I'm with you blognut; people better just stay out of my way when I'm sick 'cause I have no patience for anything, especially stupidity.
I've known some people who keep using their ATM until their $1000 overdraft is used up. To them, THAT is the moment they are out of money. And no, some people are not me, nor related to me, thank holy effing goddess.
we've all been there sister.
don't apologize.
if you were a man, this would be typical "I have a cold" behavior.
For some reason, we are held to a different standard. Use the pissiness. Make it work for you!
WOW. This post was enlightening. not the whole blognut is crank-e-ly when she is sick part - but the "if you don't want to pay service fees, maintain a positive balance part"
WHO KNEW!?!?
Hope you feel better!
You need some cocoa and marshmallows!
Then, take it out on the neighbors.
OK my advice to you...get well soon.. and get the hell out of Bumblefuck... speaking as an ex banker, there is no more thankless job and people are absolute freakin' ass heads when they deal with their bank. They think they have the right to treat you like shit because they can't balance their accounts. The first thing they say is "they took my money" without even thinking that you are "they" you represent the bank and therefore they're accusing you of taking their money! it's all bullshit... hope you get better soon. sorry to rant.
p.s. no one should have to go to work sick, i know you feel guilty for staying home, but please, stay home and take drugs.
It could be worse. You are, after all, not sick AND at the dentist. HA HA HA!
Sorry, I was unable to control myself. I do this in lieu of overdrafting or complaining about fees, which I don't have due to doing a bit of RESEARCH PEOPLE.
I keep a positive balance. I understand the fees do rack up at an obscene percentage rate but...
they need to balance their checkbook. Moreover, you are not the bank owner. They should not vent on you.
Ooh, Bloggus, dare I say I'm pleased that you're not my Bankus Managerus, (given the ever-appalling state of my Bank A/C but that I do feel your pain, my dahlink, and I hope that you feel much better soon - Please don't go postal, or financial - and take to the roof with a semi-automatic, as I also feel like doing from time to time! xox
Last week everyone WAS stupid. It was definitely not my mood, nor was it my imagination. I'm pretty sure the entire universe just went brain dead for seven days straight!
