It's probably bad news about your grammar.

Meanwhile, why can't I just buy a 60 watt bulb any more? Fuck you, environment.

you think she wants to know how i am because it's bad news about my grammar?

PS: i think what you meant to do there was be a smartarse about punctuation, not grammar

so my mother emails me yesterday afternoon asking how things are going. today, having not replied yet, i get a fraught answerphone message declaring that since i haven't been responding to emails i must either be angry at her for asking how i'm doing, or else i'm not OK. what the actual fuck.

Your mother and my mother should sit down and have tea.

Just had a meeting with a guy from Irish Life..it made me realise I haven't a clue about this stuff

I have a pension with another crowd, health insurance with another..the job puts something towards some sort of cover..of something

Why can't a grown up take care of this shit for me?

This is what your wife/SO/other half is for.

Women are the ones in a relationship that are supposed to stress on this stuff.

I'm going to a cooking class/demonstration tonight at some restaurant. €30 paid in to (most likely) not be able to eat anything. Please let there be free wine. I really need to stop agreeing to go to these type things.
