Our AC is finally fixed, but that was only after the last two weeks consisted of having the AC company come out five different times to continue to fix it and waiting a period of 4-6 business days for a part to be delivered. How the fuck can a part take that long to be delivered? I can order something from Japan that will be here tomorrow, but the piece I need to keep from sweating my ass off in 94 degree weather has to be hand-delivered by Pony Express? Was it being manufactured to order by amputees in China using only their feet?
My head hurts. And not just a headache. But a HEADACHE. It wraps around my head and won't go away, even when I sleep.
Business is slow. July's always a slow month, but it's killing me this year. I'm always stressed when our sales aren't at the level I'd like, but this is just compounding all the other shit that July's given me.
Everybody's tempers seem to be flaring. Some of the recent drama has died down, but recently it's just been nothing but people being angry and upset and frustrated and short and terse.
I feel like I don't have the time to do the hundred or so projects that I've been working on. I have an announcement for the Halloween party that I've been wanting to make for over a month, but I still have to wait on someone before I can do that, and it's very frustrating.
Everything just makes me want to punch something.
Anybody want to exchange a shitty July for a bright new shiny August?
If that didn't tantalize you with regards to my mood, just wait until tonight. For our fourth episode of "Clearly, you're retarded", Britt and I will be verbally sparring with our fleshy mouth swords at 9 PM EST on Talkshoe. The topic tonight is PORN, which is a topic very dear to my heart. C'mon and listen in - it will be fun! You can listen live online at Talkshoe.com, or download the Talkshoe application and you can chat and even call in!

I agree. July sucks goat ass. Bring on August. Hang in there, do you have migraines? I love Excedrin Migraine. Hope you feel better.
Comments by Stephanie
Tell you what. Give me another day or so and I'll make that trade. Not a problem.
Any other calender-centric trades you wanna make, just let me know.
Comments by B.E. Earl

Comments by hello haha narf
July didn't suck too much. I got a Carvel Peanut Crack&M Ice Cream Birthday Cake. And my car didn't break down. And we came up with another month's rent money. And we could afford a few groceries.
August is looking a little iffy.

I don't know if the planets are all out of align or the devil himself is up running things... wait... W is still in office, so yes.
July sucks big ass nutty balls, and I'm ready for it to be DONE.
Comments by A Whole Lot of Nothing
Seems like every year July is the worst month. Half the world is on vacation and the other half have checked out mentally and nothing gets done.
Comments by Jay
Wow, I thought it was just me! I'd like to punch a few somethings, but it was 107 and earthquakey today.
Your August should improve!

I'm looking at changing jobs myself. Something in the water.

Might I suggest Valium and a good Merlot? It works for me!
Comments by jake titus
Dude, July is still going? I mean really, this has been the longest and somehow crappiest month this year.
I cannot wait for August.
Comments by Hilly
I know what you mean.
Now for the comment I never thought I'd leave here, but have no problem doing so:
*HUGS*
Comments by NYCWD
I've liked my July - I've been at home, not the office! I have to go back in August...if I give you my August, can you make July longer for me? Yeah, I didn't think so either.
Comments by Fantastagirl
Just keep on keeping on...
Two more days!!
Comments by little_lj
I'm completely with you for trading in July for August. This has been the worst month for me in quite a while.
Comments by Sarah
May I turned a year older, June I got sick, July I spent in recovery and receiving hospital bills, and I hate August for the heat. Can I trade you all those for double Octobers - Decembers. I'll throw in an IMAX ticket for The Dark Knight.
Comments by Grant
I have grown to hate summer months with a passion that can only be understood by the hairy overweight set. Add to the fact that I am so freakin bald I can't even say Hi to anybody in direct sunlight without the top of my head beginning to turn deep purple and then peeling like the ugly outcast in a leper colony.
not that I'm one to complain.
Comments by cris
I'll make you a deal. You take my February, and I'll take your August if you throw in the slide and swimming pool.
You're gonna love -20! Heh.
Comments by Aunt Robin
I feel ya'. My AC's crapped out twice this month. I usually like hot weather, but from the sanctity of my temperature controlled apartment.
Comments by Kathy
I'm hoping the wraparound headache goes bye bye and soon. Those are not fun, man.
Comments by kapgar
Bright new shiny August:
I get to spend three of four weeks in San Fran instead of in this 105 degree hellhole called Dallas!
Comments by The Absurdist
What is it with everyone's July being a suckfest? Sorry yours was awful too...
But, Yay! Bright shiny new August only two days away. Which means I'm three days away from a month off work, which means August is already the best month of the year...
Comments by suze
Oh hey - heads up.
My comments pissed me the fuck off this morning.
So I'm coming in crabby.
Comments by Miss Britt
Ugh. My sales have been down this month, too. Next month will be better sales wise because I have an extra project I'm starting tomorrow but that means I have to drive a lot. And I never look forward to that.
But I am treating myself by taking time off work to go to the drive-in the next 2 weekends which means I get a total of 4 movies for $12. Not including popcorn.
Comments by penny
July sucked here too. I have a terrible feeling my August isn't going to be much better.
Hurry up with the Halloween announcement!!! I need some sort of good news!!
Comments by trishk
July is over in 2 days :)
Comments by Christie
4 words to cheer you up.
Monkey in a Box.
Yes?
Comments by Clown
Around here, July was pretty bad (even worse if you were moving out of your apartment, as we were), and I'm dreading August's notoriously humid days.
And I can't even walk around naked, because I'm living in my mother's basement, with the threat of her coming downstairs at any moment.
Comments by Crystal
I would if August here didn't mean only another couple months of flip flops and no jackets.
Comments by Robin
Christmas in July was a good day... I don't want to exchange July for August, thanks, but I wouldn't mind if August arrived. :D
Your cure: Excedrin and a nice, stiff Diet Coke with citrus. Oh, and a piece of cake.
Comments by Poppy
See — it's not all bad.
Comments by Finn
Headaches are the worst. Hope your head feels better soon!
I'll be at the show. Yay!
Comments by Sybil Law
August is always grubby for me so I cannot trade you. Maybe I could get Motley to shine it up a bit... And as the Proprietress of PornFest, I'm gonna try to be at the show tonight!
Comments by Winter
i'm sorry, sweetheart. you're right, it has kind of been sucky on the blogosphere, but we're all still here, sticking it out together. that's cool, right?
what's not cool is heat. that kind of persistent heat can make anybody homicidal. you should go to The Four Seasons (and take me) and order martinis (for me) and crab cakes (i'll share) and people watch (with me). people are so preposterous; it lifts my spirits every time!
i have nine whole popemobiles filled with dead popes and Jesus in my HEART and they're all for YOU.
Comments by Crys
I vote to get rid of July altogether... it seems to be the longest month EVAH!
Comments by Jenni
If you want, I can come down and give you a massage.
Comments by Soapy Nethers
I am really looking forward to this show!
PS We had no a/c for a few weeks, too, and it SUCKED. Glad it is sorted out now, and I hope all else will be soon, as well.
Comments by Angel
Aww...that sucks. Headaches are definitely no fun. If it makes you feel any better (although I doubt it will) when I moved into my new house our a/c didn't work for a week... with average temps of 105 in July here, 94 sounds downright cool.
Comments by Em
It will all work out. I understand hot and headache, though, so I empathize. Come hang out in my corner of the 'net–it's cool (temperature) dark and quiet (great for headaches). No one hates anyone over there. Of course, I should really put up a new post...I'll work on that.
Comments by Shelli
oh! oh! Me! I do! July has been THE SHITTIEST MONTH EVER! Can we be done now? There's still today and tomorrow and I'm worried that it's saving something big for the very end. Honestly, I can't handle it right now, my nerves are shot to hell.
Comments by Gwen
The only thing I like about July is, um, well, I guess extra day off of work for the 4th. Other than that, I'll gladly throw in a vote to just nix this month completely. I feel like it's been July for a year or so.
The perfect headache cure? A freezing cold coke, a cigarette and three extra strength tylenol.
Hopefully I'll be able to make the show tonight!
Comments by Sheila (Charm School Reject)
I live for July, it's what gets me through cold and snowy January, February and March. BTW, I've always wondered what is it that you sell? Hope the headache gets better.
Comments by Summer
try this one on for size. during an average Saskatchewan summer, we will experience 79 severe weather events. So far this summer - read : JULY we have had 117 severe weather events.
I agree, July sucks, bring on August!

I may have to listen tonight. I'm a huge fan of porn!

Almost over, Avi. Two more sleeps.
Comments by Dragon
Sorry sugar–It's been a slow business month, lots of construction at the house but every day I wake up and SMILE.
Bring on August!
Comments by turnbaby
Must be something universal about a shitty July. I'm all for Augugst to start any day now. I hope your head feels better.
Comments by Becky
I'm so very sorry about your shitty July. It's the heat. Seriously. And the never-ending presidential campaign. I'd come down and eat a chocolate-covered burrito if I knew it'd make you feel better. :)
Comments by Coal Miner's Granddaughter
You can punch my ex. I'd like it, you'd like it, he'd fall down - we'd all win.
Comments by Maria
Right there with ya. I can't wait for this shitty month to be over either and ease into August. That bettah be bettah!
Just one more day... one more day....
Comments by DutchBitch
Hell, yes. As soon as I get the unpleasantness of this weekend out of the way, I am done with badness. I suggest you adopt a similar strategy and reject it, too.
Comments by Nina
Here's a hug...one of those with me giving you love pats on the back...
Comments by Been there Done that
I paid $1200 to have the AC in my car fixed only to leave and realize they didn't recharge the fracking freon.
heat makes people dumb and testy.
Comments by moosh in indy.
I understand the complaint about waiting for a part. And as you said, I can order something from Japan and have it shipped overnight, but a common part takes 4-6 days? I experienced the same fucking wait times with my scooter. One part. Don't understand one bit.
Oh, and August starts tomorrow.
