    Thanks guys

    When I got him from Cat's Protection he had just come out of surgery and there was a 50/50 chance he'd survive. There was a possibility that I'd just be giving him a comfortable place to die. Since I'm a big nerd and he was jet black I named him Pixel; The rationale being that if he died I could at least wistfully mourn my dead Pixel.

    He was never 100% so I've kinda been bracing myself for it since I got him...It's just kinda fresh right now

    My condolonces viper. Always hard losing a pet, especially when they go out like that :(

    As far as life ruining I have a horrible migraine that just won't give up. For some reason electronics exposure doesn't seem to make it any worse so I'm trying to wait it out. Just re-dosed on tylenal so hopefully it'll end soon.

    Love the diversity in this thread: deceased family members to gravy disappointment in the blink of an eye. I can empathise with both of you and send you my sympathies at this difficult time.

    Someone has just been promoted to work with me from another department, this person s stupid.

    Not in any way disabled or handicapped, but earnestly, honestly and aggressively stupid, completely dumb as a rock, they cannot be left unsupervised for a second without them doing something completely stupid.

    They are so stupid that the only possible explanation for their having been moved into the place I work is sabotage, nobody that thick would be trusted in an opticians practice by accident.

    A hundred grand's worth of equipment, confidential data everywhere, the NHS breathing down our necks and a wrecking ball walking the halls, brilliant!

    Isn't that pretty much every shop-bought 'steak' pie known to man?

    Finally snapped, its been a while since I done it last.

    We had a horrific argument, still in a bad place but working towards some form of solution.

    It included me going for multiple left hands to my cars dashboard, cuts and bruises across my knuckles and a very strong sense of disappointment in myself. Everything's got onto of me lately and although my job situation has taken a weight away its still a very small part. Its like taking it out on myself and letting frustration out at the same time.

    Its really my own fault for trying to please everyone, I made it 30000x worse and it'll never happen again.

    Have a cup of tea & buy a punch bag.

    Not life ruining but sad none the less; the number of retards in my favourite ( only ) FPS is just too damn high to make it fun any more, 90% of matches are just filled with total inbreds with zero idea of what they should be doing at any given time, regardless of telling them repeatedly. Nothing but selfish & cowardly game-play ( gotta protect that kill/death ratio.... ) with zero interest in teamwork or the objectives ( zero ability to think ahead, only interested in getting a few points now and to hell with everyone else if it means we lose as a whole ).

    Luckily, Space Engineers is awesome and getting better with each update, will have to venture into the multiplayer mode once I have finished building my fleet of ships & fighters... :D

    I know the feels, +1 on getting a punching bag or speed ball.

    Really helped me a couple of years ago, I set it up in the garage and put a lock on the door so whenever I feel like exploding I can go in there and hit it till it passes and I calm down.
    I haven't used it for a while now but as something that's there in case I need it I highly recommend getting yourself at least somewhere to go.

    You can't blame the pies. You can gain/lose weight eating the appropriate quantity of any foodstuff.

    The fact you gained weight on them suggests you liked them enough to overindulge.

    You can blame the pies. No-one ever got fat by eating lettuce. :D

    This is true. They probably suffered extremely unpleasant flatulence, though :lol:

    Put some substantial dents in my motorbikes tank the other week. Totally lost my ****. So disappointed with myself.

    You need to stop prostrating yourself for others, you are being taken for a ****...but wont admit it to yourself. Then Kaboom! You need a new petrol tank and your fingers are broken.

    I can partly blame the pies.

    They were part of the reason the weight was gained.

    I get what you're saying though....
