This seemed to be the best place to vent on today.
Christmas eve I get to work until about 6PM, then off to SIL's party that goes until 2:00 in the morning.
Today, on my lunch break I ran out for a last minute gift in the pouring rain. I ended up rear ending the car in front of me, she in turn hit the next car, until a fourth car stopped the momentum. Two hours later I was on my way home, one person was towed, and my journey into insurance hell has begun. My mom is mad that I won't drive the three hour trip until my truck is inspected, I'm in panic mode ove the health of the other drivers and my insurance deductible, and I'm sure to hear crap for not going back to work.
I Just turned on my Christmas lights, and the inflatable snow globe with Mickey and Minnie kissing in it won't inflate. I just learned that the gift I ordered for my wife on the 14th was shipped and should be here December 29th. At this point I consindered sawing my right arm off, but realized my brother in law still has my saw. Then the highlight of my day comes in the form of my mother in law showing up and instantly cleaning things that don't need to be cleaned and 'informing' me the snow globe out front isn't inflating. I'm having a Clark Grizwald day, and the following week looks even better.

Pete, post a new show before I put my head in a vice and pull an uncle Fester

Haha, well, we are currently 16 hours ahead of the East coast and 17 hours ahead of the West coast (we're on daylight savings in Victoria) so i'll be opening presents tomorrow and y'all will just be having Christmas eve dinner!


Lol.
I've seen a post on buzzfeed or something (something along the lines of "25 tweets that will make you hate the world" or something to that effect) and one brainiac posted this:

I saw that one. I have no words for the stupidity of some people.

I'm so sorry. I have been in one of those types of accidents. Frustrating as can be. I just got the points from mine off my record and my insurance went up for no reason. Merry Christmas? I hope you still have a wonderful holiday with your family.

I liked this but only because there is no "unlike" button.

Nice of your MiL to inform you snow globe didn't inflate

Let me know if you look out the window and see this:

Oh dude!! That's so crap (not the words I wanted to use)
I hope it looks up from here, and I wish I had an appropriate response for your MIL but I'm afraid it wouldn't be nice or festive!

Imagine Darth Vader choking someone with his mind; that is me now. I am not one with the force, but I am fine with my black label and going to work hung over.

Well kids, it's officially 45 minutes until Christmas Day, I've just gotten into bed after a long and hectic day.
Can't wait for my long and hectic day tomorrow!

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Christmas, eat too much, drink too much and laugh and love all the live long day!!

Merry Christmas, Jes! We're right behind you...

The only real downside, being in "warm" New England, is that I've been forbidden from having the standard fire this year. Guess I'll have look for a virtual Yule log on YouTube for the TV. A little bummed, any one else feeling the same way....

No - sorry - after the last 2 brutal winters here, I'm VERY happy with "no white stuff" this year - especially not the never-ending ICE of last year - I can be okay with snow - but the constant ice last year was not good!

 

[superme80]

Merry Christmas Jes!!! Getting ready to spend the day with my in-laws. Hoping DH can get off work early.

Unfortunately rockhampton isn't near me, but I'm sure he made a sneaky stop past Melbourne!

Oh... I don't want snow. I just would have liked it cool enough for a fire -and with temps above 60 that's not going to happen. Especially with my wife being as warm as she has been lately ....

Is that code for your wife is hot?
There's 2 reasons I can think of that would make a woman hot, but neither are things I like to make assumptions about

Ha! ...my wife is 50. And yes, she's "hot" .....still! Happy Christmas to all!

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Hope you enjoy your day - and watching the Disney Cellebration Parade of course

Merry Christmas to all my fellow inhabitants of this happy place! Was watching Kathy on Periscope just now, live from the MK.
