What are you tired of doing?

Cleaning. Being yelled at. Feeling not good enough. Going to school. Not nessisarily in that order.

Not living my life and focussing too much of my energy on work.

What a kind question! Let me vent:

I'm weary of picking up after other people. My capacity for people who fill the air with meaningless chatter has been exhausted. I'm tired, tired, tired of people who don't listen.

Sleeping..I've been sleeping WAY too much lately and I really need to get a good sleep schedule figured out b/c I have other stuff I gotta do and I just can't get it done when I'm sleepy all the time.

I'm tired of going to a job day after day and giving 110% of myself to a group of people in upper management who don't appreciate a damned thing anyone beneath them does to keep the company alive.

I'm tired of working. I want to spend my life enjoying my life. You know what I mean? I'm also tired of not being able to grow my own maryjane. I'm tired of getting charged 300+ dollars for an emergency room visit. I'm tired of people eating dead animals, and then complaining and throwing fits when they get sick from eating it. I'm tired of people killing animals. I'm tired of people adopting an animal and then not taking care of it. I'm tired of wearing clothes. I'm tired of people smoking cigerettes all their lives and then sueing tobacco companies because they are dying. I'm tired of hearing mothers yelling at their kids. I'm tired of people saying, "I need to find myself." I'm tired of people talking and not listening. I'm really really tired of people giving retail workers a hard time and a good cussing when they can't get their way saying "the customer's always right", when they refuse to understand that they have a policy they have to follow or they will get fired. My husband does that and I try to explain why he shouldn't but he doesn't want to listen. I'm also tired of people making fun of people. I would go on, but it would take up too much room on this page. Arrrrrrrrrg.

Brushing my teeth. I still do it each day, but it gets so tedious. twice a day, three or four minutes wasted, standing before the wash basin making the same repetitive motion... I'm tired of going to my sixth hour math class too.

Good question, there's a lot. School mainly, and also the fact that my parents seem to have more time for my brother (manic depressive, going to  University next week) lately than they've ever had for me in my life.

I'm tired of waking up early to go to a job that I will most likeley be doing for the rest of my life. I don't want to arrive at the gates of heaven and them ask "what did you do your entire life" And all I can say is I worked hard. I want to live, be free and enjoy the world and universe as GOD set for us. Give me the lotto.

i'm tired of not being able to reasonably relax about being established in my living situation/ecomomic status. . .i'm on my way, but not quite achieving it yet, and the anxiety attached to the issue of if that that security will be realized, as I believe it will in the next few months, have been fairly draining. . .

Going to quarterly staff meetings. They usually begin late Monday afternoon and go until Wednesday after lunch. Sometimes we add a day and then they go until Thursday after lunch. I usually have fun at these meetings because I don't see most of the people I work with (we cover a large territory and work out of our homes). But they essentially take up an entire work week with travel and recovery time and I usually have to drive between 4 and 7 hours to get to the meeting depending on location.

We have moved from a two-bedroom apartment to an efficiency apartment, which is all one room. My husband just had cataract surgery and could not do much. I have been packing and cleaning for this move for about a month and now that we are in our new apartment, we've got to find someplace to put everything - and there just isn't anyplace. My husband, who is recovered from his surgery, would be glad to help me but he is a policeman at a government building in DC and is on 12-hour shifts, no days off. So I have had to do most of this move by myself and I AM SICK AND TIRED

I'm tired of working. I'm tired of cleaning. I'm tired of idiots. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I'm tired of living. Something exciting needs to happen.
