Tuesday Tantrum
Every so often, I need to download data from clients. Usually it's not a big deal; I get an email or a CD or a link to an ftp site where I just "drag and drop." Today, I need to download data from a UBER paranoid international client's ftp site. Every piece of data needs to be downloaded individually. Every time you download, you need to manually enter the user name/password they gave you. It automatically kicks you out if you try and use a program to download the data. I have 2 years worth of 10 second data to download. I have been doing this 830AM. I am just over halfway done.
I'm (somewhat irrationally) pissed at H. I have a really bad shopping problem, so H gives me a set amount of money every month to spend on myself. This includes things like shoes, hair cuts, pedicures, lunch with friends, etc. I need a haircut this month, I NEED closed toed brown shoes and I'm going to see HP at midnight, which is this big tradition involving the Cheesecake factory and starbucks AND I need to pay for goodies for girls night (wine and junk food basically). I do not have enough money. H and I are not poor. I can buy a fVcking pair of shoes or get a haircut. I work hard and get paid well and he can eat me. He complains that I always get what I want. Well, maybe I'm a huge b!tch, but if I can get what I want, I do. Seriously, a pair of shoes and a haircut is NOT going to derail our plan to remodel the kitchen in a year. And he says he doesn't spend as much money as I do. He needed a drill last month. Did he need to buy the kit with the impact wrench and that other thing? No. He wanted some ODLR sweaters from Macys, I didn't bat an eye when he bought them.
I want to go home, stop downloading this g0d d@mn data, grab a pint of B&J's smores ice cream, order my shoes and stare at the ceiling. The worst part: I'm not PMSing. That doesn't usually happen until Thursday. Or maybe I'm PMSing early.
I WANT MY FVCKING SHOES!!!!!!!!
Re: Tuesday Tantrum
rub your earlobes in a clockwise motion and say wooo-saaaahhhh
then tell DH you'll need a bigger "allowance" this month, so suck it go and eat some B&J's
I'm irrationally cranky at H right now, but he doesn't even know it. Last month I happened to notice that Target had a Garmin GPS for $104 and it was on clearance.
I told H if it went under $100 I was buying it. He told me to wait until we paid the photog and some other stuff. So I did. Now its $74 freaking dollars and I.WANT.IT. but he's sleeping and not answering the phone.
And here are my irrational reasons for wanting the GPS:
- I drive 40 mins. to and from work. Its nice to hear another voice, even if it is only saying "in 1 mile exit right."
- I use it to tell me what time I'm going to get places so I can determine things like if I want to stop and get coffee first.
But yeah, go have some ice cream and tell H he can give a pass for one month and let you spend a bit more.

I just got yelled at by a customer for an order that my stupid co-worker took. I had nothing to do with the freaking order, but customer took it all out on me. I remained calm while talking to the douche bag and ultimately found that his flipping package is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I flipping hate some customers. I wanted to tell him where he could shove that damn package. Now that put me in a bad a$$ mood. I'm going home and having a few beers.
I say just buy what you need and tell the hubs too bad. That's just my bad mood talking.
