Re: B&M Monday

  • It really sucked this weekend hearing all the neighbors having so much fun in their pools.....don't know why I never noticed before but I am so calling a pool company today

    I need a pool

    now I just have to convince the H that this is a wonderful, fab idea and a pool will make his life 110% percent better (and leave out the part about cleaning the pool etc...)

  • I took the day off on Friday and no one seemed to 'know' where I was.  I guess they thought I just didn't feel like coming in or calling?!?  I mean, who does that.  Both my manager and our receptionist accepted and acknowledged my request for the day off over 3 weeks ago.  I even have confirmation of this through outlook yet it appears to be my fault they forgot even with an outlook calendar reminder.  I am PISSED!  Next time I take off it will be permanently embedded in their mind for sure.  I guarantee it.
  • I rammed my foot into our couch yesterday and now I can barely walk. I couldn't fit my swollen foot into a shoe, so I had to call in today. Now I have negative 3.5 hours of PTO and I'll have to stay late for the rest of the pay period to make it up. Boo!

  • I need a lawn service. 5 haven't called back. 3 didn't return email. 2 don't service my area.

     

  • I think I'm getting sick :o(  I have a sore throat, headache, etc and just feel lousy.  I took Friday off though so I didn't want to call in today.

    Today I walked in to an email from my boss re-delagating responsibilities....adding a TON more to mine!  Not happy.  Trying to remind myself to be thankful.  It's hard today.  I don't think it would be as bad if I felt better.

  • My job is a mess today... it's hard to explain without going into incredibly gory details... but i used to work for Team A and Team B... now I only work for Team A, and my workload for Team A has tripled.  (which I am fine with, and excited about...)  

    BUT... crap from Team B has popped up all day - and nobody can understand that I have no pull with Team B anymore.  I can't get free tickets for Team B anymore, and I have absolutely nothing to do with Team B!!  I have spent all freaking day dealing with Team B... and haven't been able to do my REAL job with Team A.

    And I have really, really bad cramps.  :-( 

  • I'm sad that Phil Mickelson didn't win the US Open.
  • I have a slightly (and I mean you can just barely feel it when you press on it) lymph node in my under arm area. It kind of hurts, but I'm afraid to go to the doctor.
  • I got upset with DH last Friday.  His sister is pregnant.  My SIL got pregnant her 1st month off of birth control  All the women in his family are really fertile females.  So, we were talking about TTC (on our 3rd month actively TTC, 6th month off BC) with MIL and the family history with TTC.  She commented about how it's not easy for everyone.  My DH says "If I were the female, I'd already be pregnant."  I very calmly said, "That hurts my feelings."  I actually felt like a failure and pissed. Angry   I know that not every female is the same, but $h!t, why did he have to go there?

     

     oh, the 6th graders that I am teaching math during summer school don't know/remember 5th grade math basics....Surprise

     

  • Due to a stupid (and I mean stupid) oversight on my part that resulted in water flooding our kitchen a few weeks ago while we were in Austin, we are going to have to have our hardwoods in the kitchen replaced AND all of the hardwoods downstairs have to be refinished.  It needs to be done soon, becuase there is a huge hump in the floor right in front of the refrigeratior due to water underneath. 

    This is expensive, yes, but moreso a huge inconvenience, especially during the refinishing phase - 5 days during which we and the cats have to be out of the house.  Where we are going at this point, I have no idea.

    I am sick over it and I feel so guilty and dumb.  DH isn't saying much about it b/c he probably doesn't have anything nice to say to me.  :(

  • damn april, that sucks!  hopefully replacing the new floors will be a seemless process :(

  • Thanks girl.  It's going to be painful....10 days for sub floor to dry; 10 days for new wood to cure; stain/prime/etc and out of house for 5 days and then I have to get a contractor out to touch up, repair, paint trim....what a mess.  ;(
  • Oh my gosh, April!!  You poor thing!  :(  (((HUGS)))

    If you want to come to Mobile, we'll put you up.  ;)  Kinda inconvenient but don't say I didn't offer!  Ha!

  • April - that sucks.  I also hope it's an "easy" process to get through.  Can you tell us what you did so we can avoid the same fate??

  • April, I am so sorry.  That really sucks.

     

    I called to rent a boat to watch the fireworks on Lake Grapevine (they do it every Friday night) but their boat rentals are due back by 8:30.  What, are you kidding me.  Can't they just stay 2 hours later on Fridays so people can enjoy the fireworks.  And of course I already invited some friends to join us.  Angry
