It may be cold comfort, but perhaps you made the wise choice, ultimately. Pursuing it in a bad headspace may have been a worse/uglier feeling if things faltered after meeting. It's hard to form relationships of any kind while feeling depressed (I am a poster child), so despite the fact that you may feel that you turned down a good match, it might have been the wise decision. Just a perspective.

Man, I am exhausted. Ever since they cut about half the company in the Great Oil Price Catastrophe of 2016, I feel like I am doing like 3 people's jobs. And because they cut one of our 2 IT guys, and everyone knows that I am pretty savvy about IT, they're asking me to be (sort of) the backup IT guy for when the main guy is out.
Since UPS decided that ringing the doorbell is too much effort compared to leaving a note, I'm gonna be driving to the distribution center which is out of the way and annoying. Such great customer service. Thankfully it's in the part of town getting more snow and it'll be rush hour.
I had USPS do that to me in the most infuriating way once when I was expecting a big money order by registered mail. It was a few days late, so I went to the post office to ask if they knew anything. My husband was home, but the post guy showed up while I was out, stuck a note on the door, and left without ever ringing the doorbell.
If it makes you feel better, the snow didn't get as far north as I thought and there wasn't much traffic. So I was worrying for nothing

Man dies of emotional distress after being forced to clean Walgreen's bathroom.
I saw that article, but I didn't click on it because, y'know, fake news.
I didn't realize it wasn't actually a fake story.

A more accurate title would be, "Man dies, family sues store for emotional distress, but won't divulge how long after incident the man died."[DOUBLEPOST=1481239947,1481239823][/DOUBLEPOST]That said, they should not have forced him to clean the bathroom, and my expectation is that wallgreens policy doesn't allow employees to force customers to clean restrooms.
My auto correct is in french today. I can not share my delivery nightmare weekend of 2013.
I am 6 kg away from my 2016 goal of 89 kg, as I tend to come back from vacation weighing anything from 100-115 kg, and I've got three weeks of classroom parties at work, followed by a week at the mother-in-law's, who happens to be an amazing cook, and an international gastronomical fair in which I'll be working as an interpreter and get to eat for free.
Time to break out the gym pants.

We usually have a company Christmas party at some swanky restaurant with an open bar, but this year they cancelled it in favor of a potluck during work hours. That's not the whine--I'm cool with that. The wine was that we had a white elephant, and I forgot about it. The other gifts were good, too. Well, except for the two bars of soap taped together. Which I'm pretty sure was a gag by the guy who ultimately claimed it.
My daughter's feet have been on this ridiculous growth spurt for the last year. I just had to buy her new sneakers, boots and dance shoes because she went up a whole size in 2 months. I just realized that because of this she has no appropriate shoes to wear for her choir concert tonight. -_- And no, she can't borrow from me, her feet are 2 sizes bigger than mine now.
Or he died of whatever illness caused him to SH!T all over that restroom.
Dated this girl for a week...
She: Hey, I like you as a friend and im in a unhealthy friends with benefits relation with this guy.
Me: ... why are you wasting my time?
I noticed that once I hit 30 that I really dont care anymore. If I see that it will be fruitless, I move on.

I keep taking cold meds this week and I'm still a snot faucet. I'm now running a fever and am feeling gross as well. There will probably be a snow day for the kids tomorrow....
yay?
I'm trying fresh fruit slices, as much Tylenol cold as I can cram in, diet coke and my Jigglypuff onesie.

It's not just you.
Keep up the fluids, try to cut back on the diuretics (LIKE CAFFEINE), and make sure you eat a balanced diet and get enough rest.

Wanted to run a few errands today, like re-apply to Teamworks (non-profit place that helps people with disabilities find jobs).
But because it's snowing out a little, Dad's being paranoid and controlling and won't let me borrow the car. Fucking asshole.

And the whole argument was for nothing because they closed at noon because of the storm.

A friend and his son buy his wife a fancy Christmas gift at a boutique in the local shopping mall. The boutique then sends an email to the wife, thanking her for the purchase and enclosed a photo of the item "she bought."
Needless to say that he returned the item.
