Re: WTF Wednesday
I get annoyed by people saying it's not mean it's just a little snark. Call it what you want, making fun of people is mean.
@xxjen015 DH owned a tree service for over ten years, and just sold it b/c it's not a safe profession. I highly reccommend NOT doing it yourself, and if you don't want to get ripped off, you can PM me and I can give you some advice. Good luck!!! (and you might be able to get $500 bucks from insurance for clean up since it hit the house, regardless of deductible, it's like auto glass, outside the realm of deductible for some insurance, as long as the company writes the estimate right. But...usually damage under $1000 isn't worth it to claim.)
@Seipel12 Ugh! I hate the very word snark, you're being mean, at least be honest about it. Being sarcastic and funny, fine. Different opinions, fine. Not dropping something EVER and continually coming back just to be nasty is just mean.
Ok, now for my complaint: faucet broke 10min after I left and water apparently poured all over the kitchen (that I just cleaned top to bottom yesterday, of course) DH goes to the basement to turn off water b/c he didn't realize that there is a turn off under the sink (his old house is over 100 years old and all the shut offs are in the basement) so water floods kitchen and even gets into the basement yay. DH cleans it up sort of, sets up a fan, heads to work. I ask my dad (who works from home) to check it out while we're gone. My dad calls to say 1. he couldn't fix it we have to get a new faucet. fine. 2. he couldn't figure out our door lock and isn't sure it's locked or closed right!!! not fine. (we have a push button door lock with a code b/c DH loses keys too easily) He also doesn't think he closed the door to the basement, so now I'm stressing about what shenannigans our dogs will get into with an open basement and possibly open door!!! (we have a fenced in yard that my dad said is definitely closed...hopefully he's right about this one and the dogs aren't all over the neighborhood!!!) The dogs get into trouble with everything closed, locked, and babyproofed...I have no idea what I will come home too. My dad thought I was crazy for asking him to go back, but he will on his lunch break...Hopefully dogs are sleeping on the couch, and I will just have damp towels to pick up when I get home.
Thanks for reading if you got this far...

Someone from work used to do that, so I block them from all my posts. You can also block certain people from certain posts on a case by case basis. You just click the little person when you post to decide who sees it.
ETA- When did everyone forget the if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all rule?
WTF landlord. Yet again, we're going on a week without hearing from anyone about getting our roof and bathroom fixed. Obviously you remembered we existed when our rent check was cashed.
I did stumble onto a nice rental house online, but it's a little more than what we pay now. I tried to show H, but he didn't seem interested. Do I need to throw my phone in his face to get a point across?
It's the second week of June and you're giving a local post-test to the pre-test that you gave in March. How much growth will my students show? It's not fair to evaluate me this way.
How are my student supposed to concentrate on a test in the second week of June when it's about 90 degrees and humid in the classroom? I am so sick of all the testing!
This is only the 6th high stakes test that most of my students have taken since March and the 7th high stakes test that 3 of my students have taken. ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!
