Re: FFF!
When I get a voicemail at work where all someone says is "Hi, this is *name*, please call me at *number*" I take at least twice as long to call them back. Tell me what the eff you want!!!
And I will take even longer to call back if that's all they say, and they're calling in response to an e-mail that I sent. You clearly read the e-mail, so you should have just responded instead of wasting my time on the phone!
my husband is a safety nazi with davis and it drives me nuts, not that i'm not cautious with davis but jeff is just over the top, if he had it his way we would have no furniture and pad the walls
my mil constantly cancels visits with davis and she still hasn't told us of her engagement even though she has a ring - my husband refuses to ask her about it though, we have both seen her FB status stating she is engaged and we are FB friends with her, so hello, ask your mom!!!! i'd do it but i think it is a sore subject with him
i have so much to do next week for xmas, something scheduled every single day of the week - i am over extended and want to crawl in a hole
I feel like I already have way too much stuff going on, yet I always take on more. Then I get behind on everything and feel like I'm failing/disappointing everyone. Despite this, I still can't (and honestly don't really want to) say no. *shrug*
I am the same way! I hate working by phone anyways, I'd rather do email any day!
I am very upset I didn't get a position I interviewed for through this organization I'm in. I never go for anything without knowing that I have it and someone coerced me into it this year, letting me think I was the only one applying and then I didn't get it. Rejection does not work well on me.
I am so mad my FI can't priortize right. We have a zillion things that *have* to be done and he picks the things that matter the absolute least. Seriously! Do I have to plan your house work schedule too?
My brother had his first serious break up yesterday and I'm worried about him.
I spent $20 on our Christmas cards and I'm not sending them. I thought they looked "ok" when I made them (photo ones) but when I picked them up last night, ugh. Dh and DS look good, but I look awful. My expression is bad and I just don't want to send them and have people say "where is her pregnancy glow?" I'm going to attempt one more family picture to see if we can get something better. DH says I look great of course. He smokes crack though.
I'm tired of talking about the pregnancy, all anyone ever asks me anymore is how I'm feeling or how my Dr. appt went or when the baby is going to get here, which is nice that people care and all, but there other things in my life besides the pregnancy. If I want to talk about it I will bring it up.
And if one more person tells me how big I am.....
Hound -- Hugs....
If it helps I had several people this week say "I didn't even know you were pregnant" that I see weekly. Um great is that code for "just thought you'd been hitting up the sweets with that butt".
My other FFC is that I hate the way polyester pants make me sweat.
I had someone say the same thing to me a few months ago, I think that's worse than the wow, you're getting so big comments
I ate candy that I bought my nephews for Christmas while I was in class last night.
OMG Lisa!!
The Heating and A/C is a CONSTANT battle in this building. The landlord negotiated with the atty I work for and the 2 other atty's in the building in the lease agreement that he would be responsible for the utlities.
So he tries to keep the heat at like 60 on a drafty ass 100 and some od year old buliding!!! it frickin' freezin in here!!!!
Im pretty sure i dont work outside - so why is it, that im dressing in layers (atleast 2 pairs of socks) and feel like i need to wear gloves to type this message right now???
i'm so tired of people always asking when j and i are going to ttc.... wtf?!? yes, we've been married for 2yrs and yes, i know that i'm not getting any younger, but i know what our priorities are at the moment and right now it's not having children!!!
if we don't get an invite to christmas dinner at the il's, i won't hurt my feelings.
i (also) feel like i'm behind in everything that needs to be done before christmas. it doesn't help that my mom is having knee replacement surgery on mon and i'll be at the hospital for a couple of hours afterwork all week.
i'm soooooo over these freakin' midnight shifts at kohl's! we know damn well that corporate isn't sitting in their offices until midnight, so why do we need to be open that late all the way from 12/1 thru 12/24?!?!? aarrgghh!!!!!
I resent my husband being laid off. Not just for financial reasons...but I'm insanely jealous of the time he gets at home.
I'd love to sit my butt at home, take care of the house and kids, let someone else take care of all the bills, and cooking, and shopping, and holidays, and watch them try to finish school on top of it.
And then, to top it off, he does an online Christmas wish list...one item under $100.00. One. Everything else averages between $100-$300 per item. Seriously jackhole? Swear to goodness...he's like having another kid.
