Re: WTF Wednesday

  • WTF Job Search:

    I've overhauled my resume, applied for like 7 more jobs, networked like crazy, and I'm still not getting any interviews. I'm tired of people telling me that I'm doing everyone right and that something will click soon. I feel like I'm completely overeducated and, because I spent 6 years in grad school, under experienced in the real world. I'm getting so frustrated with the job search!

  • My wtf is from this weekend. Friday we went out for a friend's birthday and DH's best friend met us at the bar then proceeded to tell us all that they are expecting their second in Feb. I broke down and was a mess. I'm happy for them but so sad I now am going to watch the pregnancy I don't get play out right in front of me, so close to us, probably within a week or so of my EDD. I'm pissed that they were the ones consoling us a month ago because they went through a loss 2 yrs ago, but his friend didn't have the tact or awareness to think that this news might hurt me and I shouldn't learn in front of a crowd and at a bar drinking. His wife was lending me a shoulder all the while she was pregnant and couldn't tell me.

    Then yesterday I logged into FB for the first time since the MC to check a PM and the only newsfeed showing was an old roommate announcing their third pregnancy. Fuck, I knew this time around when we would have been in the early part of the 2nd Tri would be hard, but I really just want to curl up into a ball.

  • WTF - CW turned my one report into 3.  the other two I wrote 1-2 years ago, but it'll "be fun to redo them in the new format".  No, no it won't.  I HATE writing reports.  I hate working with her.  I'm also training a new person for my ML, writing my eval so it's done before I leave (woohoo we should be getting raises this year), catching up on reg work, and doing all the end of the fiscal year training.  NO TIME!!!!  I'll get the one report done that needs to go out, f%^& the other two if they don't get done in time.

    WTF mom - I have 4 weeks, maybe 5... chill with the daily phone calls.  I'll let you know if anything happens - PROMISE!

    WTF H's work - this is the last week he'll be gone over night, I will waddle my butt into the office if I have to to make this point clear.  There are plenty of grocery stores in PA and MD he can deliever to.

  • This is a really strange WTF because it is also a little exciting....WTF dunkin donuts. It's still August and you have broken out the pumpkin spice coffee already.

    Along the same line...WTF pumpkins at my parents house. You are completely orange and ready to pick. Do you not realize the October is still 6 weeks away?

  • WTF neighbor - can you please explAin the strange noises coming from your house earlier? I guess when your husband is out of town you have karaoke parties in the middle of the day on a Wednesday.

  • I think pumpkin spice is hitting starbucks next week, too.

    WTF work - why is it that the first grade team knew before I did that I'm getting moved to their team? I understand that they need to know that they're getting a new teammate, but them finding out 2 whole days before I'm "officially" told? Not cool. Especially not cool that a teacher from another grade level where they could lose a teacher and be okay volunteered. I'm excited about the team I get to work with, but this is seriously stressful to move after I've already started connecting with my kids.

  • WTF coworker. Just because you're going to be off the next week and a half due to your "unexpected wedding" doesn't mean that you get to stop working half way through your shift and pawn off your work onto everyone else.

    Sincerely, one of the girls who was stuck two and a half hours after her shift was supposed to end cleaning up after your mess.
