Flameless Friday
Couldn't wait any longer...
Dear AT&T Uverse Repairman:
I had an appointment scheduled for the window of 12PM-4PM today. I did this because I had a 3 hour appointment with laboratory vampires and knew I would not be home until just after 12. I gave the scheduler my cell phone number so you could call me on it (Also because we had been having trouble with said phone line, one of the reasons for your visit, DOH!). I sent my husband home for lunch from his office so he could be there if you showed up before I got home. Instead he arrives to find a note that you were at our house at 11:27 AM. Which is to say, NOT between the window of 12-4 today. Did I get a call on my cell phone? NO.
Let's hope tomorrow's appointment goes better than today's did.
Re: Flameless Friday
Dear Breanne's repairman: You SUCK.
Dear weather gods, please, oh please, may I have some sun? Pretty please?
Dear smelly assistant, brush your teeth, have some gum, whatever. I'm going to hurl if you keep coming in here with that stench.
Dear 12:30: hurry up and get here, I wanna go home!
Dear DH: I hope you threw out the trash, took the clothes out of the dryer, and paid the cell phone bill before I get home or ELSE.
Dear heat and sun: Go see Jenny, she likes you.....I don't care too much for you.
That's all I got for now but it's still early, I may be back with more later!
HA! Ewww, I'll never understand how people don't realize it. I KNOW when I'm gross and do something about it!
Dear self: work on your schedule. You get home before 6. Even when you have a bunch of freelance to do, you NEED to work out. Your health & happiness is more important than a few extra bucks! PLUS, you need to fit back into more work clothes. So, stop it.
Ewww!! I have a coworker who always smells bad. I spray Lysol in my cube after he leaves.
Upstairs neighbor - Hi, I live below you. In case you haven't learned about architecture, your floor = my ceiling. Therefore, STOP FREAKING RUNNING AROUND LIKE A NUT IN YOUR CONDO!!!! I can't stand everything shaking in my house when you're home. DH already kindly explained the situation, so stop being a jerk!
DH - we have 3 tvs in this house...for 2 people. One of the cable boxes broke, so it really shouldn't be a big deal because it's for the tv that is in our office and soon-to-be nursery (sans a tv). WHY is it such a priority for you to go to the cable co and get a NEW cable box for that tv??? We're going to be clearing out that room in like a month. How about we cut the loss and lower some of our cable bill instead?! It's not like there aren't 2 other tvs for you to choose from! OH, and I just love how this is top priority all of the sudden for you, but actual important things (like making a dr appt and buying a new car) take months and months of my nagging for you to even contemplate doing. GRRR!
Dear sperm donor of a father - thanks for making my decision to tell you to eff off so much easier.
BIL - You seriously couldn't take the dog out for a walk just once while I was gone.
BIL's gf - stop fishing for a thank you or some other compliment on the flower bed. I didn't ask you to do it and more specifically you were told don't bother with it since windows are going in and everything will be trampled. Also do not complain to me about not having money anymore.
Military - please for once get your sh!t together. You changed the date P was suppose to get home to a day later not a big deal if he was still active duty but he's not and now he has to jump through hoops to get everything at work switched around. So instead of actually seeing him for a few hours after him being gone for almost a month, hes going to have to drive directly to work, where I will see him long enough to give him a new work uniform and take all his dirty clothes home.
I didn't have one earlier but boy do I have one now.
D - No. I don't want to go hang out at your Aunt's house for the babies introduction to the family. We agreed at the beginning of the week that we weren't going to go. YOU said it first that you didn't want to. I'm sorry but right now, the last fvcking thing I want to do on the day of my miscarriage is hang around your cousins baby that was born two weeks before our due date. That is the exact age of our could've been child. No. I dont want to do it and you saying that you think we *should* is idiotic. Any other day but today, I would probably be ok with it. But this day hurts enough as it is and I am sorry but I don't want to sit around a room full of people doting all over the only baby in the family. Eff you.
Karrey's DH- Wake up DUDE! You suck!!
Boss- I am glad that we are getting more orders in but K and I really don't like having to work Sat. ESPECIALLY since we are BOTH moving at this current time and have so much to do at our homes. If you would have hired M like you said you were going to K could go back to her job in the front, like she would like to, and do sales drawings only. Then M and I could get a system going drawing and detailing docks. ANd I'm sure we would be so much more productive. Bottom line WE NEED HELP!!! HIRE US SOME!!!
okay...thanks
Karrey's DH-I have a swift kick to the nads waiting for you in AZ.
Self-This babyfever is getting to a heated pitch, either chill out or take the leap. Lurking baby websites all day long when you should be working is not good.
Dear Ladmo (our dog)-Waking me up between 5-545 every morning is not funny or cute. I am beyond exhasted...so much so that the freaken FEDEX man asked why I had bags under my eyes. Sleep like a normal dog or I am going to toss your ass outside.
Dear Self again- Youve gained 1.5 pounds in the past month....it is most likely from all the ice cream and other horseshit you eat. So knock it off. Show some self control.
Dear DH-The fix to the dresser drawers that keep falling out of the dresser is NOT to set them on the floor next to the dresser and pick through them each morning to find what you want to wear. the solution is to fix the damn dresser.
Dear AF: That was freakin' hilarious....you don't give any signs that you are visiting so I decide to take a hpt as directed 14 days after my trigger shot. After seeing the BFN you show your face just a few hours later with no normal warning signs or anything. Thanks alot.
Dear Boss: You said I could leave early and work from home. At the last minute making me sit in on a meeting that lasted until 20 minutes before I would normally leave can not be considered getting to leaving early.
Dear Scammmer Condo Renters: I was just about to put a deposit down on your "Condo" . Fortunately I was skeptical enough to keep asking questions and found out your rental add was a fake. I reported you to the rental site so hopefully you will not screw someone out of their money.
Well HELLO!! I'm doing Flameless Saturday... now that I can log on!
Wow...
Doctor-you stink. I have been working out 5 days/wk and dieting since January... I go to you as I'm NOT losing weight and you're a jerk. You don't even examine me and say it's portion control. I've done WW since I was 11 and lost 45 lbs about 5 yrs ago, so don't tell me it's portion control. I ask for thyroid test... ok, you give in, but add the cholesterol... I go for the test... no response from you... I call... you're 'assistant' or nurse? leaves a voice message that says no probs w thyroid BUT your low cholesterol isn't good and to fix that... you should lose weight. OK. What part of I'm not losing weight from before did you NOT understand?! So, I call for my #'s for my cholesterol-how bad is it? You didn't ask to see me, so... I get 2nd vmail with SAME info... DH is amused by all of this, BTW. FINALLY, another pleasant nurse calls and gives me the #'s... not great, but not horrible.
FWIW-I will be looking at getting another doctor that may just listen to me. jerk.
Best Man's wife-you are just mean. Your husband got no Happy Birthday, no cake, not even a hello from you. I think you need some massive therapy. BTW-I'm still pissed that you took one of our centerpieces from the wedding...
This and lots of hugs to you Karrey.
