Give me your gripes
Comm College - Do not send me a letter that says Final Notice before collections when in fact a) You have the paperwork for my GI Bill
b.) You never told me that my tuition would be due Mar. 5 - oh and hey I'm responsible and keep all the paperwork that deals with that and guess what - nothing is on there stating that it had to be paid by that date. Secondly I was not capable of getting my first semester payment by that date. Thanks for ensuring that my monday there is going to be supa' fun.
I have more but I have a lunch date that I am now running late for!
Re: Give me your gripes
Yeah, me, too---got a date for some window shopping therapy...
WORK-you are completely aware that I do not work alone. So, when you all leave me here, I am not in my comfort zone. Normally, you're good at this, but you just stank to high hell today.
Receptionist (who doesn't start til 10)... love ya-but I just spent the first few hours answering the phone... I need to get work done... See? My not getting time to do my work does not help me sell. My not selling does not keep us above water...
Otherwise, I'm tired and cranky and need a vacation... and my knees hurt, and I want new shoes (which I'm leaving shortly to search for cause I has some flats feets... ).
BM-You ask us to store the bikes here... then, when they start wanting to ride them all the time, you say---you're coming to get them cause... you paid for them. Um, yes, so does child support... and maybe I need to remove the water bottle holder on the one since, well, I paid for it. witch.
and I am just cranky, cranky, cranky... and watching the Mel Gibson Christ movie didn't make me nicer, either... (good thing DH won't be around this eve cause I'm not liking my own company)
Stupid bus driver ( I'm a monitor for a kid that needs adult supervision) I know the kid got in a fight yesterday when I wasn't on the bus, but that doesn't give you reason to talk about him today, and telling him infront of the vice principal only made him go off again, which made my morning fantastic. Please, open your mind and try to understand the kids that ride your bus that are diagnosed with an emotional disability. Your actions are most of what ruined my day today.
Principal, you know there are meetings every Friday morning that one teacher needs coverage for, why is there not someone else set up so that I can do the job I'm actually here to do? My special ed kids are not being seen the time they are supposed to beacuse I am always being pulled to sub.
First graders, you do not rule the world, you are not old enough to act the way you do. STOP being disrespectful and make sure you know what you are saying before you repeat the stuff your deadbeat parents say.
School, you're falling apart, bring in the military and put all 730 of our kids through a boot camp. I'm tired of 7 year olds feeling like they can yell at me.
Headaches, go away. I'm sick of having a headache every day. This came out of nowhere. When my sister was going through this they could find no reason for it, so please don't start with me. I'm not in the mood.
In laws, we haven't seen you since Christmas and you haven't been up to visit us in over a year, please do your best to be fun this weekend, and don't even think about letting your 9 year old daughter call the shots. She does not get to pout and make you leave early again simply because she doesn't get to play a damn video game that she plays every other day of her life. LIfe a little and let her. Otherwise, I love you and I'm really excited you're visiting. Thank you for making the time for us.
Cat get over the fact that we now have a dog. DO NOT pee on our guest bed again or I'm throwing you out of the house. I don't care what arguments DH makes for you, I'm not going through that again with another cat, so be prepared.
Ugh, its all hitting the fan today.
J - I'm excited for the move. Please develop a realistic concept of time so we can get everything packed? Pretty pretty please?
Back and hips - pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease quit it. I have been in pain for the past week. I know you're made I started working out again but get with the program.
Body - See above, you're not allowed to have baby. We need a functional body and grad school first. It must be spring, my ovaries have been in overdrive.
**Realized-when no shoes looked good on me and got nauseous by Bath & Body Works when doing shopping therapy... **
I have a massive headache and that's why I'm super cranky-so I'm sorry...
WORK-bossman just stopped by and was SUPER NICE-not that he's not, but he said due to the hours, I can do a 1/2 day if I would like... He's a good egg.
Work People: Stop being so fvcking lazy!! We've know about this extremely important recertification for 3 months now, why are you just now attempting to get ready for it?!?! You're dumb and I don't feel bad for you being unprepared! You better appreciate the fact that I have no motivation to do any real work today, so I am helping you reorganize your information and label things.
Friend: Quit being a whiner...seriously. If you're fvcking tired, then go to bed earlier. I don't want to hear you b!tch on a daily basis because you choose to stay up all night! It's one thing if it's on Monday or just once a week, but every day...it's getting old.
Also, don't you dare try to discredit my raise and hopefully soon to be promotion. Yes, our company does promote women more quickly than men, but that has little if anything to do with me. I am in a position that has quick promotion rates for everyone (yes, that means men too dumbass). And, I was told by the financial leader of our entire division that I had one of the HIGHEST ratings of anyone in the division and the highest in a financial position. That is why I got double the raise as you and why I am being looked at for a promotion.
Dear Seller - If you flake out on our counter offer, I am going to hunt you down.
Dear self - stop eating crap. Your clothes don't fit you. It's gross.
Dear crap - you are such bad medicine.
Dear weather - allergies suck.
Dear DH - Please don't sleep in all weekend and leave the cleaning to me.
Work-I have been here for 5 years. When I interviewed you said after 3 I would be promoted. I have applied for 3 other jobs in this company. The first I knew I would not get since they already hired someone into the position and just had to do interviews to comply with company policy. The second I was the best qualified for and it should have been mine. Instead it was decided to hire outside the company and look at the douche you ended up with. The third was a lateral move, still in the lab just one that doesnt work with such horrible chemicals. I was the only one who applied for this job, how did I not get it. Oh yeah you laid off someone else that did the same thing in another dept. and instead of competely letting him go offered him that job instead. UGH!
Hubby-The baby is here to stay, when you want to do something you can just make her go to sleep becuase it wont work and it upsets her. You are a daddy now, play with your baby.
Body- on the one hand I know m/s is ok, but on the other, good grief I just want 1 day where I don't feel like sh!t ok? I'd like to actually have a decent list of foods that appeal to me. Right now that list (barely, and only sometimes) includes oj, bland cereal, crackers, and um that's it. I want to not feel full 1 bite after starting to eat; I want to be able to have a meal and not just mini-snacks all day; I want to be able to eat veggies again...I feel gross relying on carbs; I want to be able to take more than 3 bites of something that seemed ok and then realize that it's making me sick. Sigh. And, I'm supposed to drink all this water? How am I supposed to get that down? I feel full and nauseous 24/7, and water doesn't sound appealing at all. Ugh. I know this is all for a good reason, believe me, I do. But I just want to feel like a normal functioning member of society again. This makes it even harder to not tell anyone...I can't keep being "sick" whenever anyone wants to get together.
Work- coworkers need to pull your own weight. That's what you get paid for. It's not fair that you get paid to sit there and do nothing day in and day out, while the rest of us bust our butts to get things done and make essentially the same amount of money.
