"Breath in, now breath out

Hands up, now hands down

Back up, back up

Tell me what you're gonna do now

Keep rantin' rantin' rantin' rantin' (what?)

Keep rantin' rantin' rantin' rantin' (come on)

Keep rantin' rantin' rantin' rantin' (yeah)

Keep rantin' rantin' rantin' rantin' "

But remember

• Preferences are not rant worthy

• Going to work is not rant worthy

• Not getting a reply to a message is not rant worthy

Have at it ranters

I would like to rant about side effects.

After 2 pretty strong courses of antibiotics I've been left with no appetite and a constant nauseous feeling. I know I should be greatful I'm not ill now but it's really getting me down, I just want to feel human again.

People who say they are going to do something and don't (in most situations). Expectations are made and hopes raised and then nope. It's a tad irritating. I'd rather people would say "Sorry Meli, I can't/don't want to do this by X."

Hiding in the shadows

Waking up, thinking it was Friday

Due to my ADHD, I write myself a daily 'to do' list or I really would forget what to do, where to go

I'm stupid busy this week & several major things i have to arrange ready for the weekend

Spent 20mins stressing over everything I didn't get done Thursday, rewriting today's list to fit it all today, panicking that I won't manage it!

Then the news came on.... FFS!

I feel your pain.

I'm on my second mortgage provider and my second solicitor.

Next to no chain, as short as you can get.

Offer accepted in March. I'm still not in my new place.

I feel another rant coming on.

So, solicitors………………… or more accurately their admin.

This might go on a bit. Read it and share my frustration or tune out, safe in the knowledge that my solicitor appears at best, incompetent.

Receive an unsolicited text message from an unknown number with passwords and log in details and a weblink.

Follow SOP and delete and block.

3 days later receive an unsolicited email from an unknown sender with passwords and log in details and a weblink.

Follow SOP and delete and block.

3 days later receive a phone call; Hi Mr Byron, we notice you haven’t logged on and downloaded your documents yet.

What documents, who are you?

We sent you a text and an email with your login in details, we’re the solicitor for your house purchase.

A conversation follows that confirms they are indeed who they say they are.

I ask them to resend the links, but not until the following day as I need to get home and unblock them from my spam folder.

Get home, unblock.

3 days later get another call reminding me that I haven’t logged in and downloaded my documents.

I explain that I haven’t got the email yet.

They reply it was sent after we’d spoken 3 days previously.

Ah, so you didn’t do what I asked and send it the following day, instead sent it while the blocks were still in place? It'll be deleted.

Send it again please. Can you make sure all download documents are in Word format, not PDF as I don’t have a printer or scanner.

If they’re Word docs I can save them, fill them in and sent them straight back.

If they’re PDF I need to take them to a print shop, take them home, fill them in, then go back to the print shop to have them scanned, then send them back to you.

No problem, they are all Word documents.

Text and email duly arrive.

Text has a user ID and a password, email has a weblink.

Follow the weblink, attempt to log in, but the portal asks for my password and account number.

I email and ask for my account number.

Your account number is your username.

Er, then why don’t you use the same phraseology on the website as you do in the text message!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Log in.

Opening statement; “Your security and privacy are vitally important to us at XXX solicitors, we have created this secure portal to protect your confidentiality”

All download documents are PDF. All documents are blank templates which contain no confidential and private information or details.

Go through hoops to fill them in and get scanned, log on to the secure portal and upload them, cant find an upload button.

Contact the solicitor.

We don't have an upload function.

Just email the completed documents to us……………………

Er, that’s the private and confidential documents that now include my full name, address, NI number, bank details Date of birth, and a copy of my drivers license and passport?

Yes.

How the fcuk is that secure?

Let me get this right, I have to log on to a secure portal to download blank templates, but the actual confidential and sensitive information can be emailed to you?

And so it goes on……………………

More for next Thursday……

"I want to rant about this weather making the car windows fog up...i mean really! I have to leave the house a whole 5 goddam minutes earlier just to sit in the car with the blowers on getting it all warm inside just so i can see where im going! "

AND THEN - it gets too hot so you turn the blowers off. But you start driving again and it gets dogged up again!

THEN you open the windows a little bit, but it’s fucking freezing and your nipples are gonna crack the windscreen. So you revert to the blowers again for a little bit.

THEN you fuck it off and get the train instead.

They reply it was sent after we’d spoken 3 days previously.

Ah, so you didn’t do what I asked and send it the following day, instead sent it while the blocks were still in place? It'll be deleted.

Send it again please. Can you make sure all download documents are in Word format, not PDF as I don’t have a printer or scanner.

If they’re Word docs I can save them, fill them in and sent them straight back.

No problem, they are all Word documents.

Secure portal?

Seriously need to have a look at themselves there. Ignoring contact preferences, instructions and requiring an insecure method of transmitting data.

Not quite side effects.

I take a medication with hideous withdrawal symptoms. Absolutely diabolical, like after a day fuck life I'm hibernating in pain and not sleeping.

My pharmacy said they didn't have the medication. Wrong. They didn't have the *brand*. I don't care about the flipping brand, give me the pills so I can crawl home, maybe get some sleep, and hope to commence becoming human again tomorrow?

Even tried to contest it and they’ve replied saying there were available payment methods that night. No. There. Weren’t. We tried them all! Why would anyone risk a £100 fine for the sake of 1 frigging pound 50?! Might as well open my door to them and say please come in and rob me. Roll on 10pm indeed!!

Will the work, sleep, eat, repeat cycle and monotony ever fucking end?

I'm so ridiculously bored!

I'm so tired of fake conversations, fake people and having to be fake myself in order to pay my fucking bills and not have much left after.

What is the point?

We are all prostituting ourselves to make money from companies that dont give a shit whether we live or die!

If I was younger and hotter I would consider traditional prostitution - I'd rather fuck someone for money for half an hour and get paid more money than I make in an entire day in my shit job that I hate!

Have a look at Gary Vaynerchuk Flipping Challenge - it’s nothing sexual. I’ve wondered how much you can make from it. It will be some effort but could add some breathing room.
