I understand about the snippy part. I suffer through lot's of pain myself and I know how difficult it is to even perform basic tasks at times.

Aw. I just hate when that happens! Sometimes I get like that, mostly when I'm going through long shifts or if I'm just fatigued. It's so annoying because I actually look forward to my mini thrill of getting on here each night. Yes, it's like that for me. Sad, I know!

Hope you get it back soon though. I just hate when my excitement is sort of blah. I even get like that with reviews. Sometimes I'll just burn myself out and it'll take me weeks or months to get back! I once went through a very long spell and didn't do much reviewing besides my assignments for bout 4-5 months. I thought I'd never get it back.

You'll get back to normal soon. There's always excitement here, so it'll be back my friend.

I have a lot on my mind

I'm stressed the Hell out because I have to get another renal ultrasound on the day before my birthday. I can't ever have a stress-free birthday without worrying about test results or the possibility of getting a surgery. Last year I got surgery on the day after my birthday and had to undergo terrible prep on the day of my birthday.

I wish my stomach was hurting so much right now so I could get some damn sleep.

I am behind on my reviews and it is adding to my stress level which makes me hurt more.

Apparently, it seems like it is becoming mandatory to have pictures in your reviews in order to get higher EU votes etc. I got told by someone via a PM that my reviews would be better if I had pictures in them, which made me sad because I am one of the very few people who do not actually own a digital camera...

I was told that I was going to get a camera for my birthday, so I want to get that first so I can add pictures to my reviews. Perhaps, I should stop trying to please everyone and just do my own thing with reviews

I remember her getting very upset about having to "show your work" in math. "I KNOW how to do this, I never get any wrong. WHY do I have to do the silly busy work?"

Yep, GSP is the gifted program. They're allowed to say that they are in it, but the teacher makes sure that they know that they aren't "better" than people that aren't. I just found out today though that the GSP teacher is being pulled for other duties due to overcrowding, so their actual gifted class time will drop. It's very frustrating to see. And with him being advanced, especially in reading, the way the system is set up actually punishes him because he has to do more work in the same amount of time. I'm tired of teachers looking at him like he's a problem because he is unusual.

I'm so sorry. When I first starting adding pictures, it wasn't because I felt it was necessary, but because I was picking up on a trend that reviews with photos tend to get voted higher.

I wouldn't feel as if that is the only way you will get EU votes I add pictures because sometimes colors aren't the same as the product pictures or I can show detail in lingerie better. Like my Rainbow Heart review the pics I took showed the texture and beauty of the toy. You don't have to follow everyone else in order to get EU votes. If you have a webcam on your computer you can use that or cell phone just email the pics to your email and download them I use my phone for most of my pics since it takes better pictures then my digital camera.

I am sitting here super sick with strep throat. I've been on antibiotics for 48 hours now, and all the doctors I've spoken to keep saying I should be feeling better. Now, they're calling in a stronger antibiotic, and I can barely speak at all -- my throat is so swollen! I can't bring myself to relax though, because I know my boss is angry at me. I don't know if she doesn't believe I'm ill or what, but when I tell her how I feel she just says, "fine, whatever, take a day off if you must..." and I kind of find myself wondering if I'm going to still have a job there when I'm feeling better. I ended up having to take three days off this week, and right before I got sick, I put a request in for 2 weeks off in January so I could go see my boyfriend. My request for time off got approved, but now I think my boss is going to give me a hard time about it -- if she doesn't fire me over this.

I really just want a little sympathy.

It's okay. To be honest, even when I get a camera, I won't add pictures to all of my reviews. Voting wise, my reviews tend to get EU quite often because I describe every little thing in as much detail as possible lol. I just let one PM get to me, when I shouldn't have. I will add pictures to reviews where I feel like I can't really describe something as well, though. Thanks for commenting on my post though!

I've been having so many bleh days lately that it is not even funny! I hope your days improve very soon hun! Just keep your head up and hopefully, you'll get through it all soon.

Yeah, my reviews do quite well on their own so far. I just let that one PM get to me when I shouldn't have. You know, I do have a webcam and a smartphone/camera! The only problem is that the quality of the pictures they take both suck ass lol. I could probably work on them more and add tons of lighting if I really wanted to, but I'll try and hold off for a while. Like I mentioned to SneakersandPearls, I would still have reviews without pictures even if I had a functional camera; only certain reviews I would add pictures to them if I can't explain something properly.

I thank you so much for your wonderful suggestions and commenting on my post; I really appreciate it!

Oh my God, I am so sorry! I've had strep throat three times in my lifetime so far and I know how terrible it makes you feel! The antibiotics alone are a real pain to deal with. I have been having some kidney issues for the past year and I've been on so many antibiotic treatments that it is not even funny. They make me feel so weak and ill.

As for your boss, I understand that, too. Back before I got my incurable pancreas illness, I had a boss that was the exact same way. He wouldn't believe me, treated me badly when I came back in to work and just really added to my already terrible depression at the time. You are sick with a terrible case of strep throat! That's bad enough to deal with and your boss isn't helping by being so incredulous about it. I hope she doesn't give you a hard time about your two weeks off, too.

I don't know if saying this will help much, but I believe you 100% and can relate to what you are going through. I sympathize with your condition and I will keep you in my prayers. I hope it goes away soon and does not come back, because one of the times I had it, it came back almost immediately. I don't want that to happen to you, especially since your boss is seriously tripping out. Get well soon!

Big virtual hugs to everyone. It sounds like we all need them.

I'm still feeling mopey because yesterday was my dad's birthday. He passed away about 7 1/2 years ago now, and I still miss him terribly.

Also, my husband has another meeting next week regarding whether we can get our mortgage modified. If that doesn't work, we may need to move and it has me all stressed out.

Goodness, I hope that everyone in this thread gets some relief... If we could just walk in each others shoes for a day, we would understand what we were going through. I have noticed that some people vote somewhat useful on extremely great reviews with lots of pictures. Don't listen to anyone else, do what you like.

Oh, honey. You need to stay in until you feel better. Strep can be very serious. Please take care of yourself.

Feel better soon.

Aw, thanks for asking, hun! I'm finally feeling better. They switched me to an antibiotic that actually worked! I still don't think my boss has any kind of idea just how sick I was, but I still have a job, at least.

I've spent 30 of the past 54 days on my period, and as a result have not slept with my husband in over two weeks.
