Anyone in need of a Flameless Friday?!
I've been keeping in some good vents, so... vent away!
Re: Anyone in need of a Flameless Friday?!
YES!
DH- *&%$*& $#^%(&)( $&$#**%%$$$$ *$&^$*(^(* That's all I can manage right now, I was SO pissed at him earlier this week.
Cycles- NOW you decide to get funky? WTF? You've been a-ok and perfectly normal the past 5 months. And NOW that we're TTC you decide to get screwy? What the freaken hell??? Go back to being normal again.
Work- you suck. Way to "recognize" and "reward" me for all the work I do. NOT!
Damn, I forgot!
Washing machine- to fix this has become such a mess. The repair people came, the water shut-off valve cannot be moved, said repair people can't do anything now. SO we have to get a plumber here to turn off the water to the WHOLE FREAKEN CONDO BUILDING to fix and replace the valve and then have the washer repair people COME BACK in 2 weeks. All in all, we're going on a month since our washer broke.
Car Payment Website- I signed up for automatic debits. So, that means you take the money out when it's due, right? Well then why the hell did you NOT DEBIT MY ACCOUNT and now I have a late payment??? Thanks a whole effing lot. What was the point of me signing up for that??
Owner - why are you so mean to our graphic designer? She's a 24-year old new grad from art school. Why do you hire entry level people and expect the kind of experience and skill people 15-years in the business have? Guess what, jerk, she's still learning. And guess what, she was never a photographer so stop getting on her case that her photos don't look like they came out of Vogue. Those pictures are taken by professionals who get paid A LOT OF MONEY. You pay her pennies. If I have her sobbing of the floor of my office again, I will freak the hell out.
Well, guess what, jerkface, I'm encouraging her to apply to other, better jobs. Good luck without her. You'll be screwed.
BODY---WHAT is it I need to DO to lose weight?! Huh? I've had my mouth wired shut before (necessary surgery)... what is up?! You are driving me batSH!Tcrazy!. 5-6 days/wk of working out AND watching what I eat AND cutting processed foods?! and... not a GD thing. You never cease to amaze me...
DH-Love you, but you are NOT funny. When you tell me I'd be happier w someone else... I do not find that amusing. I do not think that my joking with you on this is a. appropriate... and b. funny. Yes, you are darned lucky to have me... blah blah blah...yada yada yada... I don't find this a joking matter so knock it off!
Friends... ok, what is up?... You know-would be nice to hang some time... Do I always have to be the organizer?... (sigh)
This bothers me so much too!!
Dear MIL: you'd better be sweetness and light this weekend. I am not happy about wasting one of my last weekends in CA helping your mean, childish butt move.
Stupid employee: Quit before I have to fire you. You suck.
Ex Friend- For a reason no one knows you suddenly decided that you are no longer my friend, went so far as to try to turn the girls I introduced you to against me INCLUDING MY SISTERS (I vented about her before, but it has been MONTHS). Whatever, I really don't have the time or energy to deal with this HS BS and have pretty much forgotten all about you. However, when you act like that and then you see me at a mutual friends party you have NO RIGHT to talk to me like your long lost best friend and rub my belly acting like you are so happy for me. Learn to read body language, when you ask how I am and I say "fine" with a tight smile and turn away, thats a hint!!! My poor baby recoiled from your whore stripper hand. You made the decision not to be my friend, that eliminates you from any bump rubbing. I would literally rather have a stranger with good intentions touch me.
Boss, once again you pay me for 20 hrs I work 20 hrs. Please stop calling me at all hours of the day/night and on the weekends. Yes, I know that I am at your mercy because I am about to pop, but really, pay me or get your sh!t done during my office hours.
Body, please have good sugar levels at my next appt. I need carbs, I am dying here.
Potential employer - WTH?! I sent you a thank you right after the interview, called a week & 2 days later. You said you were concentrating on moving into the new building and hadn't made a decision yet. Well, another 2 weeks have gone by. I emailed on tuesday and no response!? I'd sure love to know what's going on, are you doing renovations on the new building? Do you not have internet access there yet? Do you really want to hire me, but setting up the new building is just taking longer than you thought and you don't have a start date for me? Or have you decided on someone else? DETAILS PLEASE, the direction my life is going is in your hands at the moment!!
Wowza....i need more coffee and its 11.
Unemployment office...why the fluck do you need to ask me why i still don't have a job??? have you looked at openings for my job category with my experience??? oh right - THERE ARE NONE.
A girl with similar experience as me and already has her license has been out of work for a year - because there's no jobs for us here. Did you make her come to a meeting??? No.
Pregnant ladies on the 2nd tri board - STOP comparing your weight gain/loss with the others. Every pregnant body is different. some will gain a little, some a lot - IF YOUR DOCTOR IS OK WITH IT - then STFU about it. If it really is a problem - ask your doctor what to do...not a bunch of internet strangers who know nothing about your medical history and fitness level.
TTC #1 13 cycles, CP 6/09, TTC #2 1 cycle
CDing, EP'd for 13 months for #1, BFing for #2
Pregnancy Hypertension - inductions at 39w, I grow big babies: DD was 9 pounds 1 ounce 22 inches, DS was 11 pounds even 22 inches - both vaginal deliveries
Hey Boss Lady- Why do I even bother?!?! I gave you my school schedule in mid-February for the spring quarter (which begins in 2 weeks!) and yesterday you ask me to write it down AGAIN because you don't have it anywhere in your small little office. So I write it down and yes, it is a little different than this quarter but I figured you would have said something about it already if there was a problem.
Maybe if you did your job correctly you would have started planning around my schedule a month ago instead of yesterday OR you should have said there was no way I could have had this schedule because it would not work with anyone else's. Now you are stressing out and I honestly don't give a sh!t!!!!
LOL nope, still STD free!
And another thing...
MIL - If I have to hear about "My Rob" (Robert Pattinson) one more time, I'm going to stab myself in the eye. You are 56. Your son is 26. "Rob" is 23. Do you not see how creepy your obsession is? You're acting like a 12 year old with twilight posters and teen magazines in your room. Ty & I can't take it anymore, you need to get out and meet actual people. Or get medicated.
Kristy-that just stinks to high hell about the job thing! I'd be going crazy...
and to add on...
BM-yes, you drive me crazy! Yes, I keep my mouth shut! It's better that way, but please know... one day I may not. And will you ever be surprised! Let me tell YOU. And I am just grateful that we did not get to converse last night. Oh, BTW-the kids do not smell like kersene when they leave the house. And I will turn it on if I am cold. You do not pay our heating bill.
DH - I appreciate your renewed affection for me. I really do. But if you're feeling frisky, please brush your teeth and shower. I am sorry I blew you off instead of blew you, but I couldn't bear the stench of your breath. And you get so butt-hurt when I tell you that you smell. Who the hell else is going to let you know??? I'd want you to tell ME.
DH - Please don't tell me how to handle the finances, thanks. You're effing kidding, right?
DH - I am so proud that you finally learned how to bathe your child. It only took 7 MONTHS. I hope you catch a clue at your new job faster than that.
Sisters - Everything is SO urgent and important and yet you make things so difficult to arrange.
Fern Hollow Asset Manager - MAKE A FRIGGIN decision already. It's been weeks now.
Checking Account - You need some viagra. I have a shopping Jones and I can't do anything about it. Man up.
Self - please stick to the diet.
Dear DH: I am so proud of you for going on a diet. And working out. BUt remember how I've been working out an eating right for years? Yeah. So when you make comments like "OH, no workout today?" Or "That burger's no good for your heart." It makes me get. all. stabby. I am allowed to splurge. Even with a baby inside me I didn't gain as much weight in a year as you did.
Dear Work: Seriously people, stop approving everyone to go on PTO at once. Its hard to get jobs done when NO ONE is there.
Dear Trampy Biotch Called Mother Nature: Thank you for sparing me a flood this week, but if you decide to make the rivers flood anytime between now and Monday at 8am I'm going to have words for you. Please please please just wait until next week to flood.
Dear SIL: Yes I understand this trip to Vegas next week is a family sort of trip but please don't think you're my best friend and plan things for you and me to do. There's 9 other people in our group that I'd much rather hang out with.
Dear AF: Go away! Oh and when you come back (if you do) please come back within a decent time frame. None of this two months later crap!
Dear Work: Quit being so busy so I don't have time on this lovely board. I miss these ladies damnit!
