WTF Wednesday!!!!

I haven't event "started" my day technically but I was writing an email to a bride (freelance possibility) and the email got deleted!!!! I'm SO annoyed. It was long and with TONS of important info!!

I suppose I need a different website and email host because the fact that this one doesn't save drafts is stupid!!.....any recs?

Re: WTF Wednesday!!!!

  • Oh my God, that is the WORST!!!!  I use yahoo for personal email and I believe it saves drafts...what are you using?  That's SO annoying, sorry!!!

    My WTF's are all work related, but I'm not going to go into detail.  But I'm just incredibly frustrated about a lot of things here.

    Also, WTF is up with all this weight I gained?  I feel like I'm doing everything I can and my weight is not budging.  I feel horrible about it, and frankly, I'm tired of obsessing over it.  I just want to get back to my "happy weight" before we TTC. 

     

  • I use gmail...and I have never had a problem with it.  I think you'd like it!  

     

    I don't really have a wtf...well...ok....WTF my house needs cleaned and I have NO energy to do it! boo

  • Wtf can't I find a job with a creative outlet that will pay atleast what I make now or more? My job is boring! I sit at my desk all day thinking of the things I could make, sew, knit or whatever else later that night. My creativity feels like a caged animal!! Lol.

  • I second yahoo, it's awesome. 

    My WTF is from Sunday at the grocery store. H and I were standing in line to check out with a belt full of food waiting for the people in front to leave. I was leaning on the cart because it's very uncomfortable for me to stand in one place for too long. Some guy came up in line behind us with 2 shirts and asked if he could go in front because we had so much stuff. Um, WTF? There are express lanes for a reason and can't you see that I'm hugely pregnant and uncomfortable?! It would be one thing if we offered to let him go ahead of us, but I can't believe he had the nerve to ask. I was so stunned and didn't feel like arguing so we just said yes and then I went to sit on a bench. Jerk.

  • I have gmail and I love it, its draft saving has always helped me!

    Outlook at work doesn't save my drafts unless I ask it to, and that drives me nuts.

    My WTF is about work too. One of the girls called in sick, which is fine. But she called one person at the office to tell them, and that person couldn't be troubled to let anyone know. So instead we just sit here with stuff we have to talk to her about or messages for phone calls that come in and we are left clueless. We work in an office with less than 8 people on site, it isn't THAT hard to say "oh so and so will be out today, so just email her any messages that come in". The same lady that didn't tell anyone that the girl was going to be out is the first one on our case when she doesn't know something. The double standards drive me crazy!

  • I have gmail and LOVE it (ended up typing the email in gmail and cutting and pasting) but for my professional business I have an @eleganteventsbylaura.com address so as far as I know I have to use the email server that host my website unless anyone knows different.....otherwise I always use my gmail.
  • My WTF is directed at my MIL. When she was over the other day I mentioned to her that my mom is staying with us for a little while after the baby comes and her face fell, and she said "I was going to offer to do that". She really looked sad! Umm, I'm due in less than 2 months, when were you going to bring that up? My mom's been talking about it since I told her I was pregnant and it's all planned. Plus, my mom lives 1 1/2 hours away and can't drive that far so won't be able to see the baby as much, so that time is important to her, whereas MIL lives 20 minutes away and can swing by whenever she wants.

    Then when I mention this to my mom she was like "what does MIL know about babies anyway, she never raised one" (which is true, MIL is DH's aunt who he moved in with when he was 12).  Between that and other comments they've both made I have a feeling I'm going to be dealing with jealousy issues between the two of them.  I'm afraid that when MIL finds out that my mom will be in the delivery room with us she's going to blow a gasket!

    You should be able to both send and receive emails from your other email server into your gmail account. You can even use gmail to send from your other email addresses (i.e., it looks like you are sending it from your other email address but you can use gmail to do it). I set this up for my work email because our email server is horrible! Feel free to email me if you want to give this a try and need help setting this up

    Can you set it up in Outlook or Windows Live Mail? I think all of my drafts are saved as I am typing them, then they go away as soon as it is officially sent. You can put pretty much any e-mail out there on Outlook and WLM as far as I know...

    Ooooo that would totally make my day! I'll do some investigation and if I can't solve it I'll shoot you an email!! 

  • WTF - I am already SOOOO out of shape! Holy Moly! I did the ellipticle for 30 minutes the other day, and it about killed me! I was used to going way harder for WAY longer! Oops! Definitely think that this second half of pregnancy is going to be filled with many more trips to the gym than my first half...and let's just say me not gaining weight is no longer an issue....

    Don't forget that your little man is taking up more room and probably pushing your lungs up into your chest which is making it harder to breath! I think it's awesome that you're still working out, just make sure you don't over do it!

  • YTF does this woman in my lab feel that she can treat me like a child!?! Yes, she is probably old enough to be my mother, but her position is not higher than mine and I am an adult! I have the right to make my own decisions and approach my tasks as I see fit! And yes, I appreciate feedback and suggestions, but I do not appreciate the lack of respect she shows me.
