About Me

Stacy Kidd is a 20 year old fantasist who enjoys writing about videogames, society and gadgetry. She hopes one day to work in the creative industries, although she can't quite tell you exactly what she wants out of life yet.

This blog contains the remnants of shop-based life, though owing to up-and-coming Internet posting laws, I will probably stop soon seeing as I do not want to lose my million-pound contract.

Hormones and Working Hours
iplayanken \| 5:34 AM on 02.21.2008	26 comments

Warning: if you find talks of PMS (Pre-Menstrual Syndrome) icky, please do not read on.

A slightly off-the-ball topic of 'hormones' is plaguing my thoughts on this (rainy, miserable, dull, go-back-to-bed) day. Yeah, I have a lovely bout of PMS heading straight in my direction.

Currently all pleasurable thoughts are stacked as high as a collapsing Jenga tower, replaced by a few days of mood swinging, irritability, and good ole' fashioned swearing at those who do not sympathise with my pain.

This is a slightly awkward time for work, because although I am pretty good at keeping my emotions separate from the countless, faceless morons who do not know how to read/walk/think, I still find that in my head at least, I am swearing at them, and notably less happy-go-lucky than usual.

Perhaps working with so many male colleagues makes me feel like I stand out even more, and I sometimes wonder if they notice my changing of moods.

Still, should I ever lose the bottle and lash out at an unsuspecting customer (with involvement of a very very heavy PS3 and maybe a few HD-DVDs to hurl afterward), I can always get off the hook with the age-old excuse of "sorry, I was pre-mesntrual" :D

at least I can say I learned something today

iplayanken

I learned that HD-DVDs make very good frisbees.

Dont worry...guys dont notice shit. Hell I dont even know what day it is...but then thats probablly more due to my irregular sleep. Also, manliness.

Usedtabe

Correction: Males don't notice because for the most part we don't care. Unless we like you. Amazing there's no one in here screamnig "forums -> way". It's probably because you're a girl.

jdub28

I only associate forums with blogs that are purely questions though this isn't really vgr

iplayanken

@ usedtabe: I beg to differ, some males don't notice. And some do care. I'm sure my manager would care if I suddenly started displaying signs of moodiness or discontentment toward customers. And yes, s'probably 'cause I'm a girl.....

kawitchate

you said Jenga, i'm sorry -
IT GIVES ME YET ANOTHER EXCUSE TO POST THIS 'TOON!!!

Usedtabe

@iplayanken: As a business owner myself, if I noticed you(or any other employee) getting moody towards a customer due to personal reasons, I would send you home for the day. Do it again, and you'd be fired.

iplayanken

hehe, you've obviously not seen our highly disorganised establishment :D on a serious note..I can't get moody at customers. Even in a position where I realise that my job means little in the way of importance; I can be easily replaced by any number of other individuals. 'Tis a sad truth.

Chocobo Knight

Heh. I understand what you mean; luckily I only tend to grump at coworkers that are being dumber than usual. The rest is taken care of by sweet, sweet extra strength aspirin. :)

GeneralWong

You work at GAME? Just a educated guess... not so educated if i am wrong.

Kryptinite

I notice.

Trust me. Not all girls are the same, so their mood swings aren't always "grumpy" but I can tell. I think it's my sixth sense and I hate it. It's only good when my girlfriend starts getting moody, then I know it's that time of the month.

And then I just ignore the petty argument she throws out there :).

nademagnet

Girl parts are high maintenance.

"Still, should I ever lose the bottle and lash out at an unsuspecting customer..."

Wait, wait, wait, you're trying to suppress these feelings with alcohol? Don't you think that'll just compound the problem.

glipe

But does it affect your gaming? Are you more aggressive on the battlefield, ripping off limbs with your bare hands or do you openly week on Xbox Live when one of your Pi�atas is ill?

BigPopaGamer

Funny. I usually just back away from a women during this time.

Samson

@ kawitchate

Too soon bro, too soon xD

EternalDeathSlayer

my wife is bi-polar, so her mood swings are a constant thing.

When she starts flowing, forget it. I think sometimes I should take the kids and move out for that whole week every month.

mistic

one of my exgfs had a huge problem with her pms...

and it just got worse when it actually came, she would really suffer from abdominal pains like hell... luckily she never really worked it out on me, but man did I feel sorry for her and since then for every woman, has to be absolute misery to have it... i feel for you!

Sharpless

I usually notice. But then, I'm a pansy.

ceark

yeah. I've lived with alot of different women. That can't be fun. Feel better.

iplayanken

@generalwong: not game, but close! :P
@thegoldendonut: do not underestimate the power of Smirnoff.
