Re: "Tell me about it" Tuesday
I'm annoyed that my stupid job is waiting until Nov 10th (ish) to tell us if we're laid off or not. They're getting rid of about 20% of my department and I would prefere to know NOW, rather than later. Stupid outsourcing.
I also wish that DH and I were not both so freaking indecisive. We've both taken this coming weekend as a 4 day weekend and we wanted to do our "mini honeymoon" thing this weekend. Except we cant decide where to go for our lives. Somewhere in New England since thats all within driving distance, but we cant pick. Ugh.
It's also bugging me that my fall/spring jacket wont zip comfortably anymore because i got fat again...damnit.

That stinks Kim!! I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for you!!
I'm annoyed that I've put on some weight and gotten flabby. In my mind I have this idea of what I want to look like and things I want to accomplish but for whatever reason I can't myself to actually start working toward that. I found a new gym yesterday so I think I'm going to sign up this week. It's pretty dead around the time I would get there and they offer classes which I think it's going to be huge for me - spinning and hot yoga are the ones I could go to...perfect! I've been wanting to get back into hot yoga for a while and I've always wanted to try spinning.
DH and I are both really frustrated living with MIL. We just want our own place where we aren't confined to our one room and don't feel so suffocated. I know it's only temporary and we have a timeline but still...it doesn't make it any easier!
my aunt committed suicide last thursday. she was the one with the drug problems and set the hotel room on fire. She couldn't handle the fact her daughter committed suicide a year and a half ago. Her husband was/is an awful awful man and put her down and made her life hell. What bothers me is him. I hate this man. I am getting heart palpitations and I've never had so much anger towards anyone in my life.
I'm angry he never supported her or tried to get help. He told us to leave her alone when we tried to intervene. He refused to allow her to talk to us. All he is doing is asking for money. He has not shed one tear. They've been married 25 years and have 3 kids. He has made all of the family feel guilty and crappy for mourning her death. He just old his 16 year old daughter her mother was a whore and she had an affair. (really... she just lost her mother, they were separated at the time and she was only with one man) .
I feel awful because she pulled me through my attempt when i was 17. she was so supportive and kind. I feel like a failure I could not reach her.
Sorry to be a downer, but it's just what's bothering me. plus work but that's a given.

Oh, Deb, I'm so sorry to hear this. I really hope that you know that you shouldn't feel guilty. You are absolutely right to mourn her loss.
Thinking of you and your family!
I think we all need to get together and have several drinks! Kim...I'm so sorry to hear that your work is still stringing you along, especially with all the hours you put in there! Crazy!!!
Deb...holy crap. I'm so sorry you are all dealing with that. I'm keeping you all in my prayers. I can't even imagine the pain your whole family is going through right now. Many hugs coming your way...
My anger is really just me being overwhelmed lately. I know it'll calm down once my classes are done in a few weeks and once my mom heals up a bit more from her surgery. But for now...I hate school. I hate my job and its getting to the point that I'm almost in tears just making myself go to wrok anymore. But no job bites yet...even though I'm applying for everything I can. I hate taking care of my mom...she's not gracious or nice about it...she's demanding, rude, and mean. I really just want to slap her.
Plus I'm angry that my ex had been paying child support for 2 years to the woman he was with after me and a had a baby with. But as soon as Devin moved back home with me and he was ordered to resume payments again, he packs up and is now off in CA. Quit his job, no one knows for sure where he is (what city), he has no job, and once again...I'm left struggling to take care of everyone.
Next...
Deb-I'm so very sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you and your family!
What's bugging me...the university where I'm working on my master's never informed me that my advisor left the university. Really?! I only found out by noticing that someone else is in her office. I had to ask around to find out who my new advisor would be. ugh. I wish I was finished, I really don't know how I'm going to get through this program.
Also, as a side note...nothing fits me, I hate getting dressed for work, and we don't have the money for new clothes.
ok, it's out, thanks!
Wow, Deb, so sorry for your loss. You have every right to honor your aunt's death and mourn her. Don't let the husband make you feel guilty for going through this period. Good luck to you and your family, hug!
I am frustrated with a teacher I work with. She has control issues and wants me to help her struggling readers, but strictly on her terms. She raised her voice at me yesterday in the office and then went to the principal to complain about me. I spoke to my principal this morning, took the high road and went to talk to her today, and she still had the nerve to complain to other teachers behind my back. To top it off, my principal said, "I know that she is hard to work with, but you need to make it work." Why can't we be professional and work together to help the kids?
Oh my gosh Deb!! I am so so sorry
*hugs*
I'm frustrated with work, I really need more hours than just twice a week and I have been working my butt off to make a good impression there so that hopefully they will give me more hours but so far nothing. I've even talked to one of the hospital managers there and explained that we really are coming up short on bills and stuff and would there be any way possible that I could take on more hours even if it was just one extra day a week and she told me she would try to work it out but so far nothing
We are going home for 3 weeks in Dec/Jan and I feel like applying for a 2nd job will kind of be pointless until we get back..I mean who is going to give someone they just hire 3 weeks off after a month of working ya know. I wish I didn't have to get a second job at all, I love this job soo much!! I wish I could be full time there!
Side vent that I just feel stupid about is today I took the company truck to the Horse Tackle store to get some bags of shavings for the horse stalls, and I never in my life have driven a truck, I only drive my little car and thats it. On top of that the company truck happens to be the head vet's truck so I was even more nervous about driving it to the store than I was driving a truck in general and driving to a place I'd never been before. We've only lived her for about 3 months so I don't really know my way around here that well yet. Anyway I make it there and back safely and in one piece only to find out that my boss' credit card fell out of my pocket getting into the truck. I was a wreck. I called the store and they had found it thank goodness!! SO I had to go and tell my boss that I had lost his card but they found it, I felt so horrible and so irresponsible and I was so scared to tell him b/c even though he is really nice I'm really intimidated by him. So I finally worked up the nerve to tell him and started crying in the middle of telling him because I was so upset that he would be angry with me and I've been working so hard to do well and impress him I didn't want to mess anything up. He was really understanding about it and totally wasn't mad at all but I still felt really stupid for losing it and then for crying like a little baby when I told him about it
Wow, Deb. I am so sorry for your loss!
I'm annoyed with my professor. She doesn't listen to my questions and just assumes I'm an idiot. The TAs are also marking me off for answers that I got from a legitimate source but are somehow wrong. I'm just tired of this class and losing my enthusiasm for becoming a librarian. I just need to remember my volunteer time in the children's section!
