Sorry, I needed to bust this baby out early.
Back - you have been so mean to me this week. Please calm down or I'm going to call the NP and stic steroids on your ass next week.
Body - Hi, we've had cramps for the past week, can I just get my period? You're like 5 days late. Is this because I haven't been eating as much and the sick? You're not helping the back thing.
Neighborhood - it's winter. This is usually when you're quiet. I've been woken up twice this week by the same car spinning out in the snow. Jokes on you, douche, I'm going to write down your license plate and call 311 every day for a week until you get a ticket for your stupid, loud, unpratical sports car - STOP PARKING ON ICE AND SNOW. GET A FREAKIN SHOVEL.
Work - Thanks for pushing my review back another week. Oh, this ecezma around my eyes? I only get that when I'm stressed. Wonder why that could be . . .
Re: FF
Stomach Virus - I hate you, you fvcker. I can handle head colds, and sore throats, but I cannot cut it with a stomach virus. And you had to leap into my body while I was getting my period, didn't you?
Dogs - Seriously. Shush means be quiet, not make lots of noise. You are thisclose to losing bed privileges at night.
DH - When I ask you to please take our child to daycare so I may vom in peace for a few hours, and you say "Why can't you do it?" you're setting yourself up for failure dude.
Vet - If you don't do something for Miller when I bring her in at 11am today, I'm going to have a total breakdown. She has projectile vomited everything in her stomach since 1:30 this morning. She cannot even hold down a cup of water. Fix her or I'm making her sleep in your bedroom tonight.
P.S. - Never give my dog sulfa drugs again without warning us of the side effects first.
Dude, I will take almost ANYTHING over nausea. My Da and I were talking about this one of my last trips home (he had cancer when I was 11 so he knows all about it). We will take pain over nausea and vomitting anyday, it's like the worse feeling on earth. Sorry, Rachel!
Dear Rachel's DH, SERIOUSLY? You want your sick, puking wife to drive your son to daycare? NO.
Dear stupid nurse, Thank you veryverymuch for the nerve damage in my arm. You're the best. I'm glad there are idiots like you, running around with needles.
Dear prospective employer, If you don't call me today, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. Again. When you tell someone "we plan to make our decision by the end of next week", that means that they will expect you to call with said decision by the end of the next week. This is what happened to me last time. The decision was made by the end of the week, but no one bothered to call me until the beginning of the following week to tell me that I wasn't getting the job. So I agonized and stressed all weekend. You might have heard about that, because it was your boss who did it to me. So don't let it happen again. If you're not going to hire me, just let me know. In a timely manner. Please and thank you.
Thanks. It started last night and its only a 24 hour bug (or so my work said) so I'm hoping it passes fast.
Self - stop being an unproductive lard azz all day. You need to get in gear and get something done. You're feeling healthy so take advantage of it because who knows how long it will last. Get up, get moving, and get to work around the house.
Engineering Companies - You screwed me. You screwed my ability to get my license in a timely manner. You promised success and growth and all I got was a lay-off, twice. I'm a good engineer, I work hard, I know what i am doing - you just can't manage your workflow in order to keep the junior engineers employed long enough to get the experience they need to get licensed.
I hate that I am stuck. I need a license to get a job, but I can't get a license without 5 more months of experience.
Telling me you're hiring in May doesn't help either...I will be hugely pregnant and you won't give me the time of day then.
Friend - thank you for thinking of me for a job, but right now, working an hour from home at a nuclear power plant just doesn't sound like a good idea right now!
TTC #1 13 cycles, CP 6/09, TTC #2 1 cycle
CDing, EP'd for 13 months for #1, BFing for #2
Pregnancy Hypertension - inductions at 39w, I grow big babies: DD was 9 pounds 1 ounce 22 inches, DS was 11 pounds even 22 inches - both vaginal deliveries
DH- Please don't go to Colorado for your annual camping/kayaking trip with your friends. It's not your friends that are the issue here. Usually your gone for a few days (and it's over a weekend) and it's not big deal. This year, it might be in Colorado which means road triping out there and using most of your vacation time. I have 3 weeks, you have two. It'd like to get away somewhere this year and not for just a weekend. We haven't gone since our honeymoon and we have some money to actually go somewhere (hoorah taxes!). Also, offering the option of going to Colorado with you and staying at your friends house (by myself) while you are gone all week is not a vacation.
Also-
coworkers- Please stop talking about me at lunchtime when i don't join you downstairs. First, i don't eat lunch with you for a reason. Second, what you do say does get back to me. I don't know if it's jealousy or what but the fact that i have been here for a shorter amount of time from some of you and i may be getting a raise this year should tell you something. I'm able to multi task better and get three things done in the time it takes you to get one (this is coming from 3 levels of management, fyi and not my personal opinion). I've also been told i'm the most organized out of all out you. You may hate it when our managers point out how i got stuff done and you are slacking but guess what? Completing stuff well before the deadline is what gets you noticed. Try it sometime.
Jenny, tons and tons of vibes to get that dang call already from your prospective employer!
YES! Come on!!
Fertility Friend- stop saying I Oed earlier than I did damn it. I hate seeing that stupid dotted line on my chart. Know why it's dotted? Because you're wrong! I KNOW when I Oed, because it's the same all the time, and because everything else shows when I did. It's not my fault my temps were screwy. I know this is such a petty thing, but I can't stand seeing the dotted line when I know it's wrong. This is my last month TTA (gasp...haven't said that in "public" before...only you girls know!) and I really don't want my cycles to all the sudden get fvcked up because that's terrible timing.
DH- tying into my FF vent...I hope you damn well remember our timeline, and don't cop out on me in a few weeks...
Body- doing good, doing good... let's keep up the good work and keep the scale moving in the right direction!
Psssst . . . Have you tried Rachel's "SHOW ME THE MONEY" yet?
LOL - that might be my next step!
Self-what is wrong... please get out of this 'funk' you're in... crying over dog coupons?... ok. stop. AND... your dentist appt today at 9 that... when you showed up and they said-no, your appt's in 2 wks and you see you wrote it down wrong-what is up?!?
BODY-Ha on you! I'm gonna show you... 1 lb-oh wee... for what? the same one I gained a month ago? nice. Met w trainer today to get my butt on board and she's going to give me crap if I come back in a month and you're still the same-THEN I will go to el doctor for some blood work... This working out is killing me when results are this stinky. I still get my darned bead if I lose or not, so there!
DH-when you say you're drinking and thinking the dog's there with you... of course,I'm going to freak out a little and call the neighbor-aka one of your BF's-to come over. I'm worried about you.
and to dear YOU KNOW WHO.(not DH).. get your act in gear. You need to grow up, face the music, etc... this is what marriage is about. I'm getting peeved at how you're treating so&so and it's not nice. I swear, do NOT make her cry, do NOT feel the 'poor me' syndrome, just don't. It's not all about you.
Jenny-I hope you hear by the time I am typing this!!!
