walkryfe Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 ...when you do something and it is considered about as wonderful as a "lead balloon"...when you try so hard [to start a forum or group but it never takes off] and you don't succeed, when you [don't] get what you want [much less] what you need, when you feel so tired, but you can't stop perusing coldplaying.com! ...stuck in reverse... 1. learn to drive with the rearview mirror, maybe? 2. here is a place to vent -er, "share" about "stuff" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkryfe Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 packing my shoebox as i type this... so here is my own little lead balloon moment. i'd been put to the task of assembling flyers into envelopes with address labels and stamps. by the end, i needed three more stamps than i'd been given. :\ i went to the person the project was for, --person "a" and they were out of stamps and said to go get some from person "b" so i went to person "b" who said that person "a" would need to fill out a requester form for the three stamps... :confused: so i took the requester form back to person "a" and they said :shocked2: --well i'm not going to tell you what they said :censored: -- before storming :furious: over to the office of person "b" where they (persons "a" and "b") started arguing :argue: and it was just about then that PERSON "C" poked their head in saying :huh2: "um, we are trying to work in here -- what's all this?" :uneasy: after the situation was explained to them, PERSON "C" had a sort of unreadable expression on their face (couldn't tell if they were amused or really angry or mystified or all three). :blank: "C" reached into his pocket, pulled out a kind of wallet (more like a folded over bit of fabric?) and got some stamps from it an handed three stamps to me with a little smile. :nice: and left. :blush: i looked back at persons "a" and "b" to find them :snobby: glowering :mean: at me. :worried: i'm still not sure what i did wrong, exactly. :worried2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus_mosher Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Lead balloon was a very funny tv show written by and starring Jack Dee, this thread made me think of that, you should check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I had the same thought but at times, Lead Balloon is a poor mans Curb Your Enthusiasm. I do love Jack Dee to bits though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus_mosher Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I could never get into curb your enthusiasm. I wanted to. I really wanted to love it, but I just couldn't get into it. shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I had the same problem at first and I thought it was a bit predictable really, it kinda still is but I just fell in love with Larry David when I sat through seasons 1 + 2, he grows on you and it becomes funnier once you know him. The fact that it is mostly improvised makes it even more impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
