Howdy people,

Have you ever had something happen at work or home or wherever that really upset you or made you mad? Or that you felt like you had to share with your AW family? And you didn't feel it was noteworthy enough for its own thread?

This is where you can post it and get some good ol' fashioned commiseration and support.

The point here is to share the love, so anyone who posts has to give at least five reps to previous posters proclaiming their sympathy, condolences, advice, support etc.

Reps like,

"Awwwww, it's okay. We still love you."

"Wow, I know what it's like! You poor thing."

"The bastard! Wanna borrow my baseball bat?"

are encouraged and appreciated.

This is also where you can uplift all our hearts and lighten our loads by telling amusing anecdotes about your day. Whether it be at work, at home, while writing, with your kids, the neighbors, in school or wherever.

Something funny happen at the store? Something amazing happen during the drive home? Have a revelation while writing? Your teacher or boss say something funny?

Tell us and we'll rep you our reactions and our support.

Spread the love and share the wealth, people. We're all here for each other.

on drugs huh? hell, we's writers ...ain't we all?

ok... is this AWWWWWWW, WOW! or HMM... here goes, anyway.

i made a BOOBOO. in my real-life life--you know what i mean (some of you. my 'peers' not-yet-making-a-living-offthepen)...

i underquoted. yup, it happens. one is is supposed to upsell, instead one ignores THE-BLATANT-FRIGGIN-CLUE in the friggin-RFQ (some may relate) and IGNORES it.

shit happens. i offered to pay from me pocket (about EIGHT FRIGGIN HUNDRED DOLLARS).

then, a miracle: they agree to pay :) sheesh. friggin miracle. yeah.

Oooo, fabulous idea. (You did say I could complain, right? I'm understanding this thread correctly?)

I think I'll bring my computer on my overnight shifts and bitch every 3-5 minutes until I'm forcibly removed from this thread...

Also, I second the notion that you must be on drugs. And whatever they are, they must be really freaking good to turn you into... Whatever it's called when completely rotten bastards start saying they want to "share the love" with fellow members. So I want some of your drugs. PM me for a drop-location, and let's make a deal.

Wow, I just gave out a bunch of insulting reps! I wonder how many I'll get in return?

Exactly my point, Hillary. You are right on the ball.

Is anyone else amused I repped BF to tell him he should have capitalized "Nazis" in his reason for editing his original post? 'Cause I am.

I must have missed something.

Anyone want to point me in the right direction to find what I missed?


Thread Summary:
  • BF's lost the plot, and now wants to share the love with his fellow members.
  • Rhymegirl and I have decided this means he's on drugs. I, at least, want some of them.
  • Angelinity is the only person who seems to have figured out how to post appropriately in the thread.
  • Siddow is being snarky. I approve.
  • You've missed something.

At a computer?
My two cents

BF created this thread to rack up rep points because there's a rep point contest going on in another sub-forum.

Wow, what a tough crowd. Okay, I'll get this train wreck back on track.

I just came back from running some errands and while I was out, I forgot to get myself something to eat.

Now I actually have to make something!

Arrgghhh!!!

I'm still in PJs but I put on sneakers so I would feel like I'm dressed.

Oh, all right, FINE. I'll use the thread as it's supposed to be used.

I'm not supposed to be going to work until Thursday night at 11:30pm. However, I'm going in tonight at 10:00pm until tomorrow morning at 9:00am. It's a bunch of extra hours, but the way it works with my original shifts, it's only three hours of overtime.
