Vents go here....
I'm irrationally angry right now. I feel like a witchy hag, but I can't help it. Eff you, Monday!!!
When I was getting ready for work this morning, Adam asked me to go to the store for him. I wanted to punch him in his Adam's apple (no pun intended). Dude, seriously? I have to go to work. I'm already late, and then you ask me to go to the store for you because you didn't want to leave the house until later?? Kiss my ass. I walked out of the house and left. I got halfway to work and he calls and asks me what's taking so long. I almost threw my phone out the window. He then has the nerve to call me at work and tell me that he's irritated with me right now and that he can't find the pants he wanted to wear. DO YOU REALIZE THAT I WILL CHOKE YOU RIGHT NOW??
Also on the way to work.... to get on the military post, you have to go through a gate with security guards. The gate I go in has like 5 or 6 lanes across. Each lane has 2 security guards to check badges. There was a woman in front of me who would go like 2 feet and then slam on her brakes leaving like 3 car lengths between her and the car in front of her. It made me super stabby. Even if she had kept up with the car in front of her, I wouldn't have gotten there any faster, but it still irritated the crap out of me. I wanted to jump out of the car, grab that lollipop out of her mouth and beat her in the forehead with it. MOVE, B!TCH!! (get out the way, get out the way, b!tch, get out the way! hehe)
I slipped in the hallway downstairs trying to walk to my office. I twisted my knee. Today sucks. I want to quit life and be a bum.
Re: Vents go here....
I'm sorry, that's a crappy way to start your week.
Yesterday I did all that painting by myself. I taped, edged, painted, and stencilled all by myself.Granted, I told HH that if I could buy the stuff to fix up the rooms, that I would do it by myself but he still didnt even offer to help me at all with any of it...I would have probably said no if he did ask but I wanted the gesture. And he was sick and napped all day so whatever...I'm dumb & I know it but it's the best I've got right now.

Stu, I have to say I would have told him hell to the no I am not going to the store! What the he!!
This is really petty I know but I have to say I went to a cookie exchange that I was told was all women on sunday. I was looking forward to some hot tea, soup and fresh bread and bringing home delightful cookies. No one said everyone was bringing there kids. If I had known this I would have passed. I thought it was an adult thing. The kids were worse than wild animals. NOT COOL!!! I have some hearing loss in both of my ears and with all the noise I couldn't enjoy a simple conversation. I left with a headache!
One of the things with a cookie exchange is your are supposed to bake the best cookies that you make and then exchange them. Well I don't know what some of these people were thinking they were the most horrible looking cookies with no thought in what they were making. Some looked like non-risen biscuits. Super silly I know. My kids where like what the heck are these things when I brought them home. I picked them out so that person wouldn't feel bad about no one picking their cookies.
Work is work no big deal! I only work 4 days this week so I am a happy girl with a heck of a lot to do! I am taking friday off so I can make christmas cards well finish them that is! If I don't do this I am gonna be in some serious trouble. HAHA organizing the card exchange and not sending out christmas cards would be pretty lame!!!
Oh ***, ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
I feel like a total fatass lately. I have been eating like crap, and I keep hurting myself snowboarding so I don't want to run cuz I don't want to turn a little injury into something serious.None of my pants fit. And I feel like crap about it.
I have no effing money. When I get depressed I spend more money, so yeah, my bank account is pretty drained right now. I spent way too much on food and beer this weekend, now I have nothing to eat for lunch and I don't particularly want to go to the store, because I really can't afford to buy more food. Credit cards have way too much on them as it is.
Boarding the dog is effin expensive, especially when I'm a broke @ss ho. So I scheduled to have her boarded all weekend, since I went snowboarding friday, spent the night at NG's, figured I'd be at his house most of the day Saturday, and then had planned on going snowboarding Sunday. Saturday NG decided to wake up super early (okay, like 11, but usually we sleep in til 1 or 2 cuz we always stay up super late) and go to his mom's house and blah blah blah. Soooo I just went home. I thought about going to get the dog, but I figured that'd be silly since I'd just take her back the next morning really early. Plus I had already been thinking of breaking up with NG so I figured I could wallow in peace without having to worry about her. But then we ended up not going snowboarding, so I could have picked her up saturday and saved a buttload of money.
When I do go to pick her up yesterday, they tell me she has Giardia, so I get to spend a bunch o money on medicine and her fecal test and blar de blar blar and the bill ended up being 150 bucks. At first they FREAKED ME OUT because she told me they couldn't let her in daycare until she tested negative for it. No daycare is not okay. I am a freak about my dog. I can't leave her in a kennel for 9 hours straight, and if I did she'd be a psycho little ball of energy and these days I don't have the energy to wear her out, so she'll go on a rampage of destruction. Luckily I asked her to find out how long it would be until we could retest her and she said oh she was misinformed, she can go to daycare as long as she's on the meds.

Same here! I want a do-over.
I don't have anything too bad, mainly because I haven't left the house yet, but here goes:
I have a zit coming on my chin. Not a regular kind. The kind that HURTS before you can even see anything. I first felt it last night-- a painful, invisible lump. It feels like it's rooted in the bone. I'm sitting here with a gob of Proactiv mask on it, but I'm not too hopeful.
It snowed last night and it's been snowing all morning. I wouldn't mind that except for the fact that I have to drive a half hour home tonight at 1:30 in the morning and I hate driving that late because I knew a girl who fell asleep at the wheel a couple of years ago and was killed. I'm paranoid about it now, and snow doesn't help.
And, lastly, I don't want to work 5-1 tonight. It usually ends up being kind of fun, but, I'm sorry, I don't want to run to Walmart and buy bags and bags of cookies and coffee and whatnot and drag it through the snow to work and then stay out all night to keep the doors open for all of those procrastinators.
I am so glad for this post today! Here goes...
I am infuriated that HH's college screwed up his $550 loan check in July for summer session. And he isn't assertive enough to make sure that the answers they give him about it are correct. So when we got his financial aid in September, I decided to go over it all in detail, going all the way back to when he started in Aug 2009. And, after they told him that they applied it to his balance, um, no, they DIDN'T! They owe us the money. So I've been bugging him about it for months now, and he, in turn, has been politely bugging them. And they keep insisting they don't have the money and they have to wait until the next check run, which won't be until MARCH 2011! Seriously?! Eight months after the fact?! UUUUGGGGHHHH!!!! And no matter what I say to him, he just doesn't want to offend the ladies in the financial aid office. I told him he doesn't have to get bltchy like I get when we talk about it, but he needs to go higher than the people he's talking to because they clearly can't get anything accomplished with this process, and they always give him different answers, and it MAKES. ME. CRAZY.
Stu. I hate stinky feet. I feel you on that. SO HARD.
Also, I don't really have a super vent, although here is a little one: Dave normally comes home for lunch at 2:30pm. (Since he's the boss, he won't go for lunch until all his employees are back from theirs, so his is always really late...but that's fine, it works for him so whatever).
So I'm up in the office, still in my pajamas, because I have been working on his Christmas present all morning. I'm watching the time but not expecting him home for ages so I know I'll have it all done before 2:30. Except I hear the front door open at 1:20pm!! That's right, he came home over an hour early, without so much as a text message saying so. So I have to RUN downstairs, and try to keep him from going up to the office without him suspecting anything, and even though he hasn't done anything wrong I was SO IRRITATED with him, because HELLO he should know that I am trying to get his surprises all worked out when he isn't here.
Gah.
Financial aid offices, by and large, are completely screwed up. I'll never forget the day I was in talking to financial aid during grad school and I had to take the pencil away from the woman who worked there and correct her arithmetic. My math skills are far from awe-inspiring, so that was really scary.
Stu, you've got PM.
I'm sorry you're angry and having a bad day ... but this is HYSTERICAL! I love when I can read something and hear the voice tone, sarcasim, etc. Priceless, this is!
Has it gotten any better?
I still haven't seen that!
I have a vent now too- so Jay was in jury duty today. He had mentioned he was going to go xmas shopping if he had gotten out early. So I texted him and said since you are getting out so late why dont you wait for me and we can go together...........
So he calls and he's like you cant come. I said well you have other stuff to buy for besides me, we'll just separate if you have to buy for me and meet after the fact, umm no. He's like I dont want to have to go home and then wait for you and then go back out again. I hate that crap.
God forbid we actually do something together! I thought it would be nice since he is home tonight, he works late during the week as most of you know. And then we could have grabbed something out, something we also NEVER do anymore.
He then proceeds to ask what I'm making for dinner. WTF does it matter to you because you will probably just grab something out like you always do and not call me, so guess what I don't want to make anything for you, Maybe i'll have spaghettios by myself!
I'm sorry everyone had a sh!t day! I guess I don't really have a vent... I just hate my job! HAHAHA!
Normally I'm sure that there would be SOMETHING that has pissed me off but I don't think anything did today (which is incredibly unusual for a Monday).
I hope everyone's day gets better tomorrow....
J... Will you tell MEEEEEEEE what Dave's gift is??!!?!
That doesn't mean that my nosey a$$ doesn't want to know J!!!! HAHAHA
I still have no idea what I am getting Kevin!
