Sometimes I just have to write a whiny post, save it as a draft, and never publish it. Maybe in a few months I will stumble across it and get a good laugh.
Do you ever write out posts just to get things off your chest, and never use them? What do you feel like whining about today? Please tell me, becuase my whining seems unwarranted.
Hi! I'm Kim, a 34-year-old living in Chicagoland with my husband, Steven, and our cats, Khali, Apollo, and Starbuck. I work in the design industry (architecture), follow a vegan lifestyle, am addicted to running, and am an ACE certified personal trainer (working at Essential Fitness, LLC ("Efit"))! I write about a variety of topics, and consider this a "life" blog - a place I can share anything that's on my mind. Please visit the "About" page to get a better idea of who I am! :-)

I definitely have the need to whine sometimes. I tend to type up a venting email and just send it to myself 😉 When I had a journal, I’d vent there, but now I just e-mail myself. Hehe. I want to whine about how nobody can do their job. GRR.
Is your whine a mix of “why is everyone too lazy to do their job?” or “why is everyone too incompetent to do their job?” or a mix? 🙂
I have tons of posts that I write and then delete before posting because I know they are just because of my mood!
Oh, yay! An invitation to gripe, um, whine… hee hee. Let’s see… Oh, I’ve got one. Has nothing to do w/ running, but it irritated me nonetheless. Here goes:
People who are behind you while you’re trying to pull out into traffic and they get impatient and start blowing their horn. WTH?? If I COULD go, I WOULD! Duh! Clearly, not fast enough for you, buddy! (It happened an hour ago… I’m still annoyed!)
Whew! I feel better now, though unwarranted, I’m pretty sure. Thanks Counselor Kim! 🙂

Yes, I write out drafts that never become published. Sometimes self-indulgent, whiny or too personal.
Whine away, lady… I’m PMSing & I feel you!!
When I have those moments sometimes I’ll write a post in my other journal and lock it so that only certain people can read it. I always put a warning on it that it’s me being all emo-pants-y so that people can skip it if they want.
The only thing I have to whine about right now is that fact that Phil seems to be having a bad day. He crapped in his crate and then ate and drank so fast that he puked up water with kibble bits in it on the rug. Thanks, dog.
I’d read your whiny post. Shoot it over!!
I rarely have draft posts laying around. When I post to my blog it is sort of a stream of consciousness so I never know what I am going to get until it is posted. (e.g. my last post I sat down wanting to post about the winner of my contest followed by some bullets on what happened in my life over the last two days. mission accomplished!)
I whine on my blog ALL THE EVER LIVING TIME. I’m surprised people still come by.
sometimes i’ll write one and then delete because i’ve realized that i wouldn’t be saying the things to a person’s face that i’m writing about. like in the instance of a disagreement with someone. i try to never write something that i wouldn’t say to their face…because, very possibly, they may read it at some point. if i realize that i’ve violated that…i delete!
All the time. 🙂
Oh my gosh….this is a genius idea! Why haven’t I thought of it? Sad thing is, I’d probably be left with 20 whiney drafts and…..no real posts.
I dont ever write whiny posts and save them as drafts. I do however write really whiny emails that my friends have to read. Sometimes, as Im typing it even I know that Im being a baby, but it doesnt stop me!
I definitely want to whine today. I work in an office of men. Im the only girl. Sometimes I really hate being the only girl, because as bad as this sounds, theres only one other useful person in the office. I feel like an overpaid (only slightly though) babysitter.
I whine a lot but rarely have draft posts. That might be a good thing to start 🙂 Lately my whining has been about work… i hate my job 🙁
Are you sick of traveling for work? Or sick of the work you do? 🙁
I have deleted posts that I thought were too negative after I posted them. Apparently they live on in Google Reader even if you delete them…oh well…
Right now I feel like whining about people who always want me to do stuff for them (and I am not talking about my kids or husband here) – sometimes it gets to be a bit too much, and I wonder why they keep coming to me. I really have to learn to be better at saying NO.
Thanks for asking – it kind of feels good getting that off my chest!
Yes, I have definitely written posts, finished, and then decide it’s way too much of me complaining and delete it right then and there. I don’t know why I feel I can’t post it.. maybe deep down I know I’m overreacting. Don’t be afraid to whine to us, I like listening : )
Every time I write about my job I feel like I’m whining. 🙂 Sooooo quite often, I guess! Or when I write about having no friends….or how much I hate Philly. I think that’s pretty much anytime I’m not writing about running/swimming/biking/baking. Oh dear!
I totally do this!! Sometimes I delete them, sometimes I clean em up and post them. And sometimes I just whine. It’s all good, that is why it is YOUR blog!
Ha! I have a separate private journal where I do all my whining, but sometimes I get started on a regular blog post that is like venting about something I’m pissed about, and then don’t post it because I like to sound MOSTLY positive in my blog. However, I actually kind of enjoy reading other people’s drama-filled blog posts 🙂
