Can I whine for a minute

amyjoy18

So far I've really enjoyed my grad school classes, but the one I'm taking this semester I hate.  I don't feel like I'm actually learning anything. And our major assignment is on a communication theory that virtually no one uses (it was coined around the mid-late 1970s and hasn't caught on), and so far what I've learned about it (very limited and poorly written info) there is a reason why.  Nearly everything discussed/presented is contained within controlled environments, not practical use.  I feel like the professor is just trying to push her personal agenda. She also declined to actually define/explain/demonstrate it because she wants us to "discover" it on our own. 

Feel free to add your own Wednesday whines.

Ah, I hate business theories.  all the pretty charts, and ideas never translate well into a legit business of any size.

I am trying to update a slide presentation only to find my visio has been taken away from me.  WTF. I just used it last week.  Jerks. Now I get to spend time trying to figure out what happened (it is licensed by user, but I had a license).

I want chickens.

I am sooo very glad you started this! 

We were suppose to close on Friday. Call the attorney, doesn't have the stuff. Call the buyers' mortgage broker, there is an issue. A big one on their end that there is a solution for but they haven't done it yet. Um WTF arseholes?!? Oh, and the buyer has known. Last week they gave us some bull about the appraiser being in NC and closed. Not an issue according to the mortgage guy. I am letting Nathan deal with them because I would probably end up in jail.

This is just adding to already existing family drama. I need a hug or a bottle of wine. Maybe both.

I have a mounting to-do list, and don't really want to do any of it.  No real reason why.  Just don't want to do it.  So, I'm going to make photocopies, instead.  (Not critical on my list, but mindless!

Amanda - now I'll have to check to see if I've lost my licensing of Visio, too!

Leigh Ann - Ugh. Hang in there girl - everything happens for a reason, and I hope this leads to bigger and better things for Gary!

Today started off with me catching Conall putting two melatonin tablets in his mouth. Thank God I caught him, or else he would have been asleep by the time we hit daycare! The kid is so curious and his brain is always going. We caught him in my jewlery box last week. I guess it's time to start locking things up. Maybe starting with him....?

Sean FINALLY got put on a medicine yesterday for this congestion he has had since October. The only reason the dr did it was bc he has a small ear infection, otherwise she swears it's not in his chest and that all of the congestion we hear is in his nose/head. I might be switching docs from the family practice to an actual pediatrician. Anyway, he has had two doses of amoxycillin - the first prescription med he has ever had in his life - and apparently he is allergic to it as daycare called a bit ago to let me know he has a rash - but it's not bothering him at all. I guess he got my genes - thankfully it's nothing worse than a non-bothersome rash.

Gavin is being a brat at school - he, for no reason, decided to "stomp" (term used by teacher) the foot of a girl standing next to him in school yesterday. I have parent-teacher conferences on Friday. That aughta go well, huh?  :-S

The only thing I am really looking forward to, though, is a half day tomorrow allllll to myself. I plan to go see a movie (if I can eek scooting out 45 minutes early, since the movie times for the one I want to see are 11:15a and 4p - what the heck?!).

I THINK I remember the pedi telling me that it's common for a baby to get a rash the first time they are on amoxicillin but it does not mean they are allergic.    So, hopefully that's the case for your little boy.

it's thursday, but I'll whine anyway.  I get to sit through a 3 hour training this morning about a new purchasing system of some sort (fellow Pitt girls, have you done this yet?  I understand it's university-wide)  Should be fun!!

Yesterday morning we got a call from my MIL saying that she was in the hospital with chest pains and dizziness and they were running some tests.  If anyone else were to call with that information, I would obviously be concerned.  But since it was my MIL and she has a long, long history of crying wolf, I had zero reaction. I started to feel bad about it, but then I heard that she just has a cold. So I was totally justified in my cold heartedness!

I am totally unmotivated at work and am so sick of dealing with people.

I can't wait for the Olympics to be over so my regularly scheduled programming comes back!

Meghan - our Monday night dates with Adam start back in a few days!  WOO!  

I was cleaning up the boys' rooms yesterday and in Noah's I found a bunch of books/workbooks that my SIL brought at Christmas.  They were her kids and she cleaned stuff out and brought them. They're junk and we have enough of our own, and since they were still in the bag, I threw them away.  I may also be biased against things from her because she acted like a first class a-hole when Noah was in the hospital at Christmas time.  I probably will never forgive her, so it made me feel slightly better to throw her hand me down crap away.

It's Thursday, but I could use a good whine.

G is going to be two on Sunday. I'm depressed. He's growing so quickly. I miss my baby, not that screeching crazy infant, but I miss my 6-10 month old And in turn, I think I have baby fever.

I keep crunching numbers on how I could go down to part-time (4x a week) but I just can't make it work. My company charges part-timers MORE for health benefits. Makes no sense. I already pay through the nose for sh*tty coverage.

Really? I hadn't heard this! Here's hoping. (And thanks for sharing!)
