Re: Rant Thread
(Anonymous) 2015-11-08 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)Then my landlady called about some painting that had to be done in my apartmemt. I mentioned the light and she said she'd ask the electrician to look at it. She calls me two days later to say one of the bulbs had to be replaced [why would that stop the other from working? Is it like those old strings of Christmas lights where they all go out if one dies and can't complete the circut?] and the electrician told her I had to keep the switch on for the light to work. I tokd her I had never turned it off and had checked it when I noticed the light was out. It must have been off when the electrician saw it though, since she then said "Oh, maybe the painter turned it off."
I get home and find that the electrician wrote "DO NOT TURN OFF" in permanent pen on the switchplate, which is in a very visible spot in my kitchen. I can't tell you how angry this made me. I've calmed down now, a few days later, but I was absolutely enraged. This guy's FIRST ASSUMPTION was that I am an idiot who doesn't know how lightswitches work. I'm unbelievably lucky he even looked at the light and did anything to actually fix it. I tried removing the ink with rubbing alcohol, but that only got about half of it off and the letters were still stained on there. I have to re-paint that wall anyway and figured I'd paint the switchplate, too, but it will be a while before I can get to that and I realized I could NOT stand to look at this assholish little note until then. Fuming, I grabbed a screwdriver and took the plate off. I've been too busy these last few days, but I'm about to go out and get a new one.
tl;dr fuck that guy, seriously.

(Anonymous) 2015-11-09 05:55 am (UTC)(link)TMI (psoriasis)
(Anonymous) 2015-11-08 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)Neither my regular doctor nor the dermatologist I was referred to did more than glance (like literally, a half-second glance) at my head before telling me it was seborrheic dermatitis and prescribing anti-fungal treatments. Eventually, it went away.
In the past couple of months, though, it's come back Hellbent on Revenge. I got my PCP to renew my prescription for the last cream I used, but it hasn't been working.
Then today, I got curious and googled "difference between seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis."
WELL WELL WELL.
I fit all the criteria for psoriasis. I have memories of being treated for psoriasis on my scalp as a little kid. I have been using anti-fungal medications which are useless on psoriasis, because my freaking doctors never actually took a good look at my scalp like they were supposed to. And I'm sitting here with a stinging, itchy, bloody scalp that's now coming off in (sorry TMI) chunks because of it.
And bonus, higher-level rant: my skin hates me. I have ichthyosis vulgaris and keratosis pilaris on my arms and legs, from my shoulders to my wrists and my butt to my ankles. I have acne on my back that I have had since puberty that I've never been able to cure (and I'm almost forty). I have lifelong KP and acne on my chest. (Somehow, mercifully, the skin on my face is normal. I still have the occasional pimple, but otherwise my facial skin is not affected by my other conditions.)
And to top this all off, I compulsively pick at my skin. My arms and legs have looked like warzones since I was a teen. I can stop picking for a few days at most, and then it comes roaring back. I wear long sleeves and trousers all year long (never ever shorts or short-sleeves), and lately I have only been able to wear white and light grey above the waist because of my shedding scalp.
Lydia Lunch once wrote, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE INSIDE SOMEONE WHO HATES YOU?" Yes.

(Anonymous) 2015-11-08 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)I mean Thomas Barrow gets about 5 seconds of screen time for a fucking suicide attempt! No emotions about the attempt except for when he blames himself for being such an evil evil person. Then he gets an orange and boom that is that storyline done. No more depressed underbutlers here.
Then Mary is a bitch for the entire episode and you think o she is getting her comeuppance. Good that was about time. Lolnope she just mopes a bit and then gets randomly married to a guy she has no chemistry whatsoever with. Just why did she even marry the guy. Everyone else said she was in love but no she just seemed a bit bullied into it.
And Carson just continues being a massive dickhead for no reason with no explanation.
