The Worry Thread

Okay, so I forgot that today was the deadline to pay for the Fall classes at the local community college.

I signed up for the payment plan at about 8:00pm this evening, so the first payment doesn't process until the next business day (tomorrow). I hope it counts, but it's going to drive me nuts until tomorrow morning, when I can actually talk to someone at the financial aid office.

So what are YOU worried about?

Im worried you have an ulterior motive for wanting to know my worries. Besides that, no worries just acceptance.

Rest assured that I am a very self-centered person; I'm not particularly interested in anyone's worries but my own. But when I'm worried about something, I like to have someone to talk to about it.

Since I don't have anyone to talk to tonight, I figured I'd start this thread so that other people in a similar situation would have a place to go.

What classes are you signing for?

Oral Communication, Beginning desktop publishing, and beginning graphic design.

That I'm having fun aggressively debating with the gun-nuts on Facebook's "I'm Looking Forward to a Zombie Apocalypse" group.

They some scary people.

My fiance is 38 weeks pregnant, and due to her blood pressure being high, her platlettes low, and some other stuff I don't understand, she was induced yesterday morning. Then again yesterday afternoon. And this morning, and now due to my kids complete lack of any get up and go, will be tommorow. So I've been on tenderhooks (actually fucking terrified would be closer to the truth)) for two, three days now. Am terrified that not only will I be useless in the delivery room, but also for the eighteen years after.

Saying that, the way she's been taking it all in her stride, I figure she'll pull up the average score for this parenting group.

Jeebus, Jawsus!

I hope your fiancee and little one come out of this ok.

Yes, yes. Much support to your family.

I am worried that we will not find an apartment in the next two weeks and have no place to sleep or store our TONS AND TONS of stuff. Flats around my neck of the woods are too friggin expensive.

I am worried that the girl I have just begun a romantic entanglement with is going to kill herself. I've only known her since Friday though, so maybe she's always like this.

I hope she doesn't kill herself.

Please tell me that these are classes that teach you how to hector people in a weird Mancunian accent over a rudimentary garage style background with added cheapo keyboards.

I'm worried about money as always - basically hoping that all the people who owe me money pay me quickly enough that I can pay all the people I owe. Never a borrower or lender be was sound advice I find now to my cost...

I'm worried about money, too - chiefly that my namby-pamby writing MA course will be covered by a career development loan and I thus don't have to submit to another year of orrible' grunt work and living at home in a teeny, tiny village.

Bum.

Here's a question. What's worse, grunt work or sigh work? If it makes you exhale it's probably fail.

Well, the grunting is both that of physical and existential pain, y'see.

I like wildstallion, he or she's very polite. Welcome to the board, W. I'm sure things went alright and that she liked your gift. What was on the mix cd you made for her?

Nope, sorry. I couldn't get into that one this semester.

Oh well, should be another one next time around – it’s always different but always the same.

It's a little boy, he was 12 days early, and weighed a solid 6pounds 9ounces. God only knows how big he'd been if he'd gone full term, he was 6 pounds friday last week.

19:08 / 19.07.08

hey triplets thanks for the kind words man! i hope you're right, this girl is kind of "cool" and so i get pretty nervous when i talk to her.... i've been going to that store for a while now though so we chat often and she laughs at my dumb jokes.... fingers crossed! i'm going to go in next week to pick up the new dandy warhols album so i'll let you know how things go when i talk to her.....

the mix cd had some ramones, jonathan richman, tom waits, easop rock, other cool stuff... i can post the full trax but maybe i should not do that in this thread, might be off topic?? is that what the music forum is for maybe?

WI am worrying about whether I utterly suck as a teacher.

I can cope if I only utterly suck in Saturday morning classes after 3 hours of sleep, but I'll be concerned if the suckage is more widespread.

Perhaps I'll have some sleep. And then implement my brilliant new technique of writing my lesson plans on my hand rather than on bits of paper I then lose ...
