WTF Wednesday
Re: WTF Wednesday
1. Wtf landlord. We gave them our schedule as to when we were leaving for vacation so the contractor can come in and fix the bathroom. He saw our cars and one barely filled garbage bag in the entryway from my cleaning my car and assumed we were still home. (We drove out with H's family) Rather than checking with us, he called after the fact to tell us they'll start tomorrow. Ugh. I'm more creeped out because he said they were going away as well and they're still in town.
2. I am still hearing work drama even while I'm away. It made me say WTF out loud in the car. So hence why I'm venting: There is a girl in my lab who is about as socially backwards as you can get. She had a very sheltered home life and it shows when it comes to reacting to real world situations. Her boyfriend shows up every now and again to come have lunch with her. This turns into a pain because it is constant PDA (yet she complained to the company president because she didn't approve of the fairly tame radio station we play in the lab) and he's just a nuisance. Her bf has no consideration for the people around him. One day, he blocked a one way directed roadway in our company parking lot since no spots were available. Made it hard for H and i to come back from lunch. Another day, he threw snowballs at the building and nearly hit a higher ups' truck.
So consider my department shocked when she started planning a wedding out of nowhere. Despite not being engaged and having no ring. She's supposedly getting married next month. And has nothing booked. She whined the other day that she wants mine and my other coworker's designated shifts (that we earned through seniority) so she can get planning done.
The WTF moment--her boyfriend called both my lab mate and my boss demanding his girlfriend absolutely has to work early shift today so he can take her out to propose to her.
My labmate, who has been there longer and actually does have set in stone plans today after work, said no.
My boss also said no. And in super jerk fashion, this guy talked over the woman giving his girlfriend a paycheck and proceeded to demand that she does not work nights anymore. Everyone has to in my department. Everyone gets one full week of late shifts a month and one day a week for the rest. It was the only way we saw as fair.
She is not any special or different.
It just bothers me that he has no consideration for other people and can't take no for an answer. People that are so spoiled like this can't get everything handed to them all the bloody time. Blah.
My WTF is that I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. I was VERY disappointed when I realized it was only Wednesday.
I can sympathize as well. I have no concept of days right now with being away. And I keep having to remind myself that it's later at home.
Since the beach? I break out in hives like that from sunscreen.
this is from this past weekend....BIL came over with his gf bc H needed to help him change the brakes on her car. When they were leaving they came upstairs to say goodbye, the baby was sleeping and H had told them to keep it down bc of that reason. I was sitting on the couch not paying attention, nap time is my time, well they took it upon themselves to go into her nursey to say goodbye to her and she woke up in hysterics. I dont know if I am more annoyed that H stood there and watched them go in there or where is their common sense? BIL was all like im new to this i didnt realize opening the door would wake her up we just wanted to say goodbye, um she is sleeping she doesn't care if you say good bye to her! I got all annoyed and was like "im going to kill you if she doesn't go back to sleep" i went into her nursery and they left. BIL tried to text me he was sorry and i responded with I don't care how sorry you are I'm annoyed at you! An hour later his gf messages me through FB this long novel about how I am overreacting and accidents happen and even though she is off her schedule, BIL was just trying to be a good uncle but he is afraid to hold the baby bc I might yell at him. I responded to her telling her she needs to mind her own business, H and i have been together for 9 years and she has been around for 5 min. Being a good uncle has nothing to do with having common sense, yes accidents happen but why would you take it upon yourself to just go into her room when you knew she was napping! I'm also so sick of everyone letting him getting away with his stupidity, he does asinine stuff all the time and MIL always defends him, so he thinks its ok. And as for me yelling at him for holding the baby wrong I've never said anything to him. The one time i yelled at the both of them was when DD was barely 8 weeks old we had invited everyone over for H's birthday and they showed up 4 hours late, after we had already eaten and i had cleaned up everything, of course bc his gf is diabetic she needed to eat and I was annoyed that I had to take everything back out, i was sleep deprived from having a newborn and I snapped at them. Other than that we always tell him he can come over whenever he wants to see her, I usually will say she naps at such and such time so if you want to see her this time or this time would be better, then I ever so nicely added the last couple of times we did invite him over he was late bc of her (they are so far up each other's butts its not even funny-BIL has to drive her to work and pick her up, take her to her doctor's appts etc, like what did she do before they met) and the one time he came without her, he texted her the whole time and barely acknowledged DD! I really hope she comes to the baby's party on Saturday so i can just roll my eyes at her=)
Sorry this turned into more of a vent then a wtf....
