Pissed off. I bought a four pack of beers so I'd have them in over the holidays in case I felt like one. So it turns out they don't use those plastic things to hold cans together any more, they have this glue. I discovered this when trying to get the cans apart and they just wouldn't budge. To the point applying more force resulted in one of the cans ripping open resulting in beer everywhere and nearly taking my finger off. Blood everywhere as well. Took photos and video and debating whether I can be bothered with the emotional effort of making a complaint. Lucky it was only a small laceration, it could have gone way deeper and been quite serious 😟 First time in about 5 years I've bought cans of beer and likely the last!
geez I am glad you didn't get hurt any worse. What the h*** are they thinking using glue that's stronger than the thin aluminium of the beer can. I'm kidding but you could get an attorney to turn this into a lawsuit.

I think they were referring to me with the beer can thing. What people don't understand is this place is a venting place, things happen, these things happen in the context of a life that is only just being held together, after a year of bereavements, existentially threatening financial stresses, relentless work, anxiety, insomnia, substance withdrawal, coming close to suicide through exhaustion and all these various other problems and that's after a lifetime of dealing with things. Sometimes it's the little things that trigger the meltdown, venting helps, otherwise there is no point to the site if you have to meet a certain threshold for suffering. It's all relative. I'm not going to censor myself and say my issues don't count because I think that's unhealthy. As it is I've been getting panicked about blood poisoning as the wound is flaring up, noticed my window is leaking, and it's 2 days into the holidays where I'm supposed to be recovering from a terrible, awful year. Try holding a glass full of water in front of you on your palm at arms length. It's easy right? Do that for half an hour. Gets very hard - someone comes with a jug of water and starts pouring into the glass, something is going to give...

You've been through a lot this year Avid. The person is new and doesn't understand what the sites about, just talking nonsense. Don't worry about it at all. Let's hope next year is going to be a very good one *shake

I’m feeling all sorts of things. I’m okay, maybe even calm on the outside. Inside I am in turmoil. There’s nothing particular on my mind, although I am aware I am going through something big. I’m just feeling a LOT more than I am used to, and it’s frightening. I’m going to yoga class in about an hour, hopefully that will be calming.
