What’s been getting your goat this week?
Hayfever causing you to want to rip your eyes out? Office air conditioning too cold? Get it off your chest here.
This heat is miserable.
I binned all my shorts at the end of last summer and never got around to buying any more. Twat.
“That’s one hell of an explanation to give to the arresting police officer. And I’d appreciate if you didn’t call me a twat.”
I have an air conditioned and pollen free office but I’d have to leave the house and not scratch my eyes out on the to get to it.
I also almost considering heading into the office to take advantage of the aircon. But that would mean a £10.20 train ticket to Glasgow, and fuck that.
Woke up with a gooch hotter than Satan’s bru
Work has been torturous with API documentation not matching up with reality. Living next to the air conditioner is grand though
The trees are still plotting my demise.
My office, a large metal box, does not have AC. Every desk has a fan by it, some people even have two. Still not enough.
I’d like to have a nice sleep in a cool room, I’m fucking knackered now.

Man I feel ya… I got hit by a motorcycle in july last year and can’t use my left hand since then. It’s less bad than being in a wheelchair, but the pain caused by someone else is just godawful…
I’m pretty sure it’ll heal in time though. The body do be like that

I’ll look into that, thank you! I have an appointment at the end of the month for some injection to relieve pain and heal inflammation in my tendon.

I’ve never had it myself but some colleagues of mine have. They said it’s a big relief! I do have to wear a brace for 3 weeks after though…
You can get medical cannabis on a private prescription legally in the uk now. It does wonders for my sciatica, helps me sleep at night when my back is really sore. Stops me from using harsher mens like codeine or naproxen they really upset my stomach.

I’m just fecking done with a levels at this point. Been going since the start of May, and it’s only now that they’re lightening up a bit.
God, I don’t miss exams every single year for 7 years straight
My last year thank fuck! My last one’s on the 26th, then I’m finally done with high school. I actually have nothing against high school, wasn’t brilliant, wasn’t shite, just sick of A levels now
The heat and the kids. Looking forward to the summer holidays! 😬
I’m not a parent but aren’t kids, you know, even more around during the holidays?
Indeed. Hence the grimace!
Lol I totally thought that was just a grin. Ignore me and my old lady eyes.
(new complaint: having old eyes)
I’ve just spent 3 hours trying to get my own Lemmy instance setup. The documentation is not in sync with reality at all!
What are you running it on?
I woke in the early hours of this morning with really bad acid reflux and it’s burnt my vocal cords, throat, you name it.
Sorted the acid reflux with some antacids quite quickly however the acid was there long enough to cause some damage. I need to remember to take antacids before bed…
You were my favourite green ninja in Mortal Kombat
Noisy builders. I can handle the hammering, cutting and banging because it’s work, but the fucking radio at full blast is really starting to wear now. Three months of this and counting!
Ugh yeah although for me it’s all the power tools. As soon as the sun comes out, everyone around me decides it’s time to rebuild their entire house starting at 6:55am every day.
From the sound of it, the first step must be blowing the whole thing down with a load of jet engines and drilling into the Earth’s core to trigger an earthquake.
I’m not a morning person
Yes to the hay fever although it’s not really my eyes, it’s my nose, throat and inner ears. It’s driving me nutty! Antihistamines make me feel rough as hell too, so it’s either don’t take them and suffer or do take them and suffer in a different way. I’m all for councils doing a bit of rewilding and I really want the bees to be safe, but I will moan about the pollen.
Also, the twat across the road leaves his poor dog outside 24/7 all year round. It barks incessantly day and night, howls at every siren and generally sounds like a very unhappy dog. It’s upsetting.
Also suffering from hayfever and dogs constantly barking outside here. I feel you.
I’m sorry to hear you’re having the same experience. We can suffer together.
Having to listen to everybody else moan about hayfever!
Seriously, though, it really does feel like everyone except me gets it these days.
This is the 1st year I’ve suffered any form of allergies and it’s fucked me right up. I used to get bit of seasonal asthma in the winter months but this last couple of months my chests been on its ass, horrible.
I’m envious
Although I have asthma and the tree pollen in the spring sometimes gives me hay fever, usually the grass pollen in the summer isn’t a problem.
I had it terribly as a child when noone else seemed to be affected. And now I hit 30 I seem to have grown out of it!
I had it terribly in my teens, but it is much milder now. A standard tablet keeps me mostly ok now.
