Complaints thread!
Do you just want to vent? Without having to carefully sound fair or sympathetic?
Don't be shy! If you're homeless, don't be afraid that your complaint will depress everyone. If you've got everything in life, don't be afraid that your complaint is too unsympathetic. There's always someone who'll empathize with your complaint. Even if you sometimes don't.

Running a business is HARD! Every week I have something I'm terribly worried about and then I'm able to feel good about it and the next week is some new worry. Gahhhhh!
However, anyone who has done a consumer based startup would say we are doing fantastic, but that doesn't really make me feel better 😄
For what it's worth I think you guys are doing fantastic too =)
LIVING THE DREAM!!!
I'd love it if you guys were featured on the Gimlet podcast "STARTUP", by the by. Maybe you've already been approached, maybe you're in the middle of being recorded right now, but I love that series and it'd be some great press.
Really my biggest complaint right now is that the UK actually voted leave. (By a slim margin!)
It's really astonishing. It's madness.
I have had to take a lot of calls from relatives today asking what is going on. Work at the office hasn't been... the most productive. Mostly though I am just wondering where this will go in the future.
Not terribly productive here, either! Just looking up articles about the situation and what this could mean from here on out. It is a worrying precedent.
I'm pretty unfamiliar with European politics. How will this actually end up impacting you directly?
Well I live in London for one. 😊
Mostly it is a waiting game for now. Cameron resigned so that's a big deal. I am also an EU citizen (as well as american) so whether or not I get to stay is up in the air. And the cost of visiting family just went up. I also am paying back student loans stateside and the way that the pound just tanked will really hurt in that regard. That is just short term though. Mostly we just have to wait and see what will happen because no one knows and that is frightening.
Wow, pretty crazy. Good luck with everything! <3
Yeah, I kept hearing that it was likely but didn't think it would actually happen.
I broke my ankle and even though my surgery was a week and a half ago, it still REALLY FUCKING HURTS and I can barely do anything at all. :(
They repaired your ankle right? Then why does it still hurt?
Because it's still broken in three places and the bones aren't actually healed yet. Plus having a bunch of metal stuck in your ankle, while it holds things together, also creates additional pain. It's also still really swollen, and just the swelling in general can cause pain. :(
I'm praying that it gets healed. I'm there for you. If you want to update me on healing process just send an email to my account email.
Thanks. It's getting better, just slowly. :/ The doctor gave me a 6-month handicap parking pass, if that gives you any indicator of how long of a journey this will be...
But feel free to update me by email.
That is terrible @kaela I hope you have a reduction in your pain soon.
Thanks. The positive side is that I get to keep using the heavy amount of painkillers I'm on as an excuse for everything! :D
Hahaha it is a good excuse.
I think my biggest complaint today is that as I've been trying how to figure out how to get pizza to international pizza partiers, I've hit a complete dead end. It's literally impossible! But I'll continue looking because I want this to work out. Other than that, it's all good :)
Place orders with their local pizza places.
I don't think I understand the concept of a work life balance. I always feel like I'm not working enough, but also maybe working too much. I think that's a hard thing about working remote. I always feel like I should be working.
Plus I'm dealing with serious family medical stuff with my mum, so I'm trying to juggle that at the same time. Whatever sort of time I might take for normal life stuff ends up being dealing with that instead. And even then I feel like I'm not there enough, and when I leave it in other people's hands, they fuck things up or drop the ball in some way.
My mum is currently in the hospital getting a "tune up", and I'm sorta hoping she won't be home until tomorrow afternoon or evening, so I can have a bit of time to do other things that I've been putting off. Like maybe a load of laundry. I don't think I've really bought groceries in a month or more.
Laundry -- that's something I've been meaning to do...
I understand how that work/life balance can get tricky when you're not clocking hours at a regular 9-5 office.
Family stuff is hard. Medical stuff is hard. Family medical stuff is next levels of stress.
Ah hell. Laundry is the bane of my existence.

Complaining re: my health. Unexplained pain everywhere in my body. So fun.
Also complaining re: my impending move. 5 days is both too much and not enough time simultaneously.
Hope our other complainers have great days despite their challenges and obstacles.
Argh, has anything like this unexplained pain happened before? Or is it completely new?
12 years running at least. Still unexplained.

Argh, yes. I try to assist people by mentoring them. Into a position where they can work relatively few hours with little surveillance... with hopefully enjoyable mental processes. (Feel free to poke me if you'd like to discuss.)
PS I hope you didn't mind I added those tags to your post, friend!
Thank you, no complaints! :)
Today has been a roller coaster with technology, culminating with "fuck the beta imgur site." I fixed my problem and opted out of the beta (despite them saying you can't), but holy shit it was a frustrating time.
