Monday Flame Free Confessions
I think we deserve to vent a little. Especially since it's Monday.
I have been getting baby fever lately. Its not good because DH and I are planning to wait a few years before we start TTC. I don't want to tell him because I don't want him freaking out.
Confession #2: I'm being really lazy on my job today. It's horrible, but I don't feel bad about it. The thing is that I don't get paid nearly enough for what I go through. I want to ask for a raise, but something is stopping me from doing so.
Also, I am sitting here typing on a laptop that is missing 15 keys because my student feels the need to pop them off whenever he gets upset. Needless to say it is taking me forever to finish typing this post!
Okay, your turn. GO!

Re: Monday Flame Free Confessions
I'm already stressed about the holidays and have figured out a Thanksgiving schedule in my head. Now if I can get everyone else on board, I will be set.
I had a dill pickle and peanut M&Ms for lunch.
I don't think I've ever disliked anyone as much as I dislike my MIL. I honestly don't understand her idea that she is the 3rd person in our marriage and why must she be such a Debbie Downer. I dread seeing her weeks in advance. I'm trying to work on that.
Ok so Leah I totally feel your pain about baby fever. I want a better job before we start TTC but I wouldn't be upset if I got preg. DH would freak out b/c he wants me to have a better job also. So I don't want him freaking out.
I have a co-worker that calls in sick constantly! Yet nothing gets done about it. I know they are running test and stuff on her but if I missed as much work as she is I would be fired. I'm working for her today and thursday this week. Plus she had the nerve to ask me to work for her Halloween b/c she wants to go to a party.
I am starting to get sick, I have started the sore throat, coughing, headache thing. I want to go home and go to bed.
But on a brighter note I have purchased 3 gifts for christmas so far. And the yard sale my mom and I had this weekend was a success. I sold $145 worth of stuff!
Thanks for posting this!
Ok, I know nobody feels like they make enough at their job...but here's my thing. After getting a B.S. degree plus doing a year of internship...I come to work every day making less than a 2-year degree nurse! I am a Medical Technologist by the way, most of you probably have never heard of it. Basically, I work in a hospital lab, testing blood, urine, and any other bodily secretion the doctor decides to send down. Most people think you can just come in off the street and be trained, and that is most certainly not the case!
While I think nurses should be (and are) paid well for what they do...we need to share the love! While we don't always have direct patient contact, any body fluid that comes from that patient can be just as dangerous!
Another thing, in a meeting this morning....something was mentioned about having to hire traveling Med Techs, and pay them 65 DOLLARS.AN.HOUR. I am not joking. This irritated the crap out of me! Shoot, I'll quit here and travel if that's the going rate!
I am also stressing about the holidays and when we are going to go where...yadda yadda. Why can't everyone just live in one place?!?
I am already going stir crazy being in the house all of the time. I don't want to get the baby out yet, but I can't tell you the last time that I did not leave the house once in a day and it is making me crazy.
I have already starting Christmas shopping, but have no idea how we are going to afford it this year w/ me not getting paid for 2 months.
I'd like to join...sign me up...
LOL...I totally call my MIL Debbie Downer...she kind of looks like her too...
I haven't started Christmas shopping yet. This is mainly because we can't afford it. I took a MAJOR pay cut when I stopped teaching in the classroom. I am just trying to finish grad schoolm without all of the stress that I've had for the past 1.5 years. We are literally living from paycheck to paycheck
I totally understand about the baby fever!! It seems like wherever I turn there is someone pregnant or having a baby! I don't know how to get it off my mind! We are trying to wait until the middle of next year!
I am having a hard time staying focused at work today! I don't know if it is because it is a little overcast outside or I am just not motivated at all today!
MIL Anonymous - LOVE IT!
I downloaded the new Britney Spears song and I love it.
I am with yall on the baby and job front (oh and Lindsay, tell them I'll travel and do that job!!! lol)
We can't look for a new house/buy one or start TTC until the condo sells and I get STD at work. I would love to have at least the condo sell and get that out of our hands and/or me find a new job w/better benefits and where I don't have to commute - I'm sick of it. I wish I could work from home and be a proj manager like I was previously - I loved that.
So basically my life is just stuck right now. I love my DH dearly and am happy w/him but am sick of living in this house/neighborhood and would love to be somewhere else. I'm still living out of the clear storage boxes (1.5 yrs later) and it's getting old.
I haven't done hardly anything at work today either and don't really care b/c I'm on call 24/7 and my manager does nothing to support me.
ok, rant over.
So we can have a day each week where we just vent about MIL! I would love it! Dh sure don't see her doing anything wrong
I think we should tell them we will work from home, but we want travel pay!! Hey, a girl can dream, right??
ha Lindsay you are too funny!!!
I just wish I wasn't the breadwinner, b/c it's like I'm being relied upon for the finances!!! oh well. His job def has it's perks!!!
Lets see....today I slept 2 more hours than I really needed to...and I don't feel a bit guilty!
Because of my over-sleeping....I decided not to blow my hair dry....or even attempt to style it in any sort of way. I just pulled it up in a ponytail...still wet....and I don't feel a bit guilty about that either...lol :P
