I just sent a passive aggressive email. I've never been a passive aggressive notes person, despite being really, really, really passive aggressive (see problem above). It makes me sad.

I just spent the morning composing the most passive aggressive email possible. Just sent it now.

I make up for it by complaining very aggressively to a co-worker about it (on Skype).

I didn't know they were playing until a couple of days ago. Seems to be poorly promoted. Would have definitely went if I had more notice.

I might go to this seems to start early

Its horrible, I deleted and started over so many times. I hate household issues with people you actually like. I honestly suck at complaining about ANYTHING.

Isn't that generally the norm for gigs these days

I once lived in a houseshare with two others and we barely spoke to each other face to face, pretty much only communicating through passive aggressive emails and post it notes. I went mental once when I came home early from a trip to Amsterdam to find some random dude sleeping in my bed in the middle of the day.

One of the few joys in my job is drafting hyper detailed method statements for picky pricks which treat them like idiots when they say that the standard one we send out isn't detailed enough

I wish I had that skill, but doing that for work would make me break out in anxiety hives.

You probably wouldn't know it from meeting me, but I'm just polite to a fault with strangers. I hate how much my natural temperament is to appease people. I can't even send horrible emails to work people I'll never meet in my whole life! I actually only managed to send said email to house mates because I was going crazy not sleeping and I'm now checking my email every 2 mins to see if they've responded. Just re-read it and I apologised four times in the body of the email... ugh. SUCH WEAK.

My wife sent a work-related email recently and she was worried that it came off too passive aggressive. She asked one of her colleagues to read over it and set her mind at ease. Her colleague said: "It's grand, it's not passive at all!"

Unfortunately. I've missed a few things this year because they only seem to be announced in the days coming up to the gig or I only hear of it after it has happened.

There's a balance to be struck between standing up for yourself reasonably and not being antagonistic.
Get someone you trust to help you with these things. It always helps to get a second point if view.

"It's grand, it's not passive at all!"

Hahaha

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I just went through 47 photos from someone's wedding online and there's only one of me. From behind!

Assholes.

I know, I definitely need to learn that balance. Even from sending that one email, I can now feel crazy anxiety in my chest. Oh man.

I don't like this song on the radio, they're always playing it

"What you waiting for now what you waiting for"

Definitely.
It's from the choir/organ balcony in the church.
Essentially a crowd shot.

Google seems to think it's Nickelback, which raises the larger question about why someone is listening to a radio station playing Nickelback.

marina?

Some lad with a growly voice singing "What you waiting for now what you waiting for". Forgot to listen to the dj afterwards to see what it is

That was her Gwen Stefani cover. GAWD
