  WTF self? You just had to swap that wasp in your hair, didn't you?  

  
  

  Turns out I'm super allergic to stings and spent several hours in the hospital after calling 911 when my throat tightened.  The ambulance came to my house and er'rything! Then my frantic husband drove like a maniac to meet me there.  All's good now though and I am now the owner of an epi pen.

  OMG Christina!  I'm so glad you're ok.  Definitely keep that epi pen around.  I have allergies too, and they can be very scary.  Be careful out in your yard!  Does it help being in Canada--maybe you have fewer warmer months to get stung?  I don't know what I'm talking about.

  
  

  WTF Self.

  Evan, I wasn't even home when it happened! I know the areas of my yard that wasps like to live in so I plan to avoid them when I'm alone.

  That is scary Christina! I'm glad you are ok!!
  
  Wtf body and myself for not charting. I don't have a clue where I am in my cycle. I either O'd around CD 8 and missed my surge or I still haven't (cd20) and it's pissing me off to not know. It's the first time in over a year that I don't know when to expect AF. Ugggg Just my luck that our last benched cycle before we can try would be super long.

  Christina, so happy that you're ok!

  
  

  WTF University email...

  
  

  I'm pretty sure my old university closed my email account. Yes, I did finish my Ph.D. in May and I no longer have a university affiliation, but a little warning that you were closing my email account would have been nice. I rarely use that email, but I did use it on my old business cards and I can't remember if I used it on the paper that I just submitted to a journal (I think I did).

  So glad you are ok, Christina. 

  
  

  WTF H? You CONSTANTLY complain about your job situation but do nothing to change it. I understand how scary change can be but I'm beyond sick of hearing about it. You have 3-4 days off a week and haven't really done much work on your resume or done much job searching. I can't help you if you don't help yourself!

  OMG Christina, I'm glad you're ok. I've been hearing a lot of horror stories about people suddenly having allergic reactions to wasps lately.  Crazy.

  @catwine‌ glad you're okay!! That would terrify me too much.
  
  WTF work in general. They're setting up new equipment and as a result, I can't access any of the machines I normally run. Minus all the stuff left behind yesterday because of them being busy. Ugh. :-(

  WTF new guy I'm training - you are new, you're work isn't important, it's training.  I have 3 more days to train you to do actual work, this is your priority... you know, because Friday is my last day.  Also, please stop talking down to me, I know I'm not an air and space engr like you, but I'm not dumb.  Just because you don't understand statistics doesn't mean it's dumb either.  I have 0 patience and you are not helping.

  @catwine I am happy that you're ok.  I can't believe you had to be rushed to the hospital. Make sure you keep that epi pen close by at all times.
  
  WTF brother and SIL.  Brother, you agreed to do x amount of work at our house.  Because SIL wants you home, you come for an hour or 2 every few weeks.  That's not enough.  You have a week to complete and then you are literally holding us up from moving in.  SIL, why are you being such a brat?  Plenty of people take care of 2 kids and don't need their H there all the time to help.  I understand you want him around, but you need to understand he needs to make money to support your family. 
  
  And to top it off, we can't even move in until he does the work, it's essential for us to live in the house.  UGH!  I need out of this tiny one bedroom basement ASAP.

  thanks ladies.  I've now got the epi pen in my purse and will be taking it out with me when I'm home alone doing gardening.  D was shown how to use it too and I'll be letting my health and safety leader at work know.

  OMG @catwine , that's so scary! I've never been stung before and that story makes me scared to be! I'm just glad you're okay and have a way to treat it if it happens again.

  
  

  WTF self, why can't you be more organized? My stuff at work is "organized chaos". I typically know where stuff is, but I hate how cluttered I make things look, and I don't know where I put stuff when it looks neat!

  I know it's Thursday but WTF cw?!  I hear about you blowing your entire paycheck at the casino, and then you bring in a bunch of fruit to share.  Then you go on to tell me that the fruit is from the food shelf.  What?!  Don't take more than you need!  The food shelf is not made to take and share it is for people in need.  I'm so angry right now.
