Arg.

Things are too slow here today to keep me distracted from my coworker quietly singing at her desk.  Oh jeebus, somebody shut her up.

  • Pansy-ass!

    Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
  • It's true.

    Everything this woman does annoys me so much that I honestly don't trust myself to calmly ask her to shut up.  Getting close to her makes my hands all itchy to choke her.

  • Distract yourself by praying that I don't get fired. I just asked my recruiting assistant if she had time to come into my office for a conference call and she said she didn't want to. Tongue Tied

    To which I replied. That doesn't really matter. You have to. I am toying with burying her alive.

  • I think my sinus issues have officially been upgraded to a cold. I just want to go home and curl up on the couch with a movie and pajamas. Stupid work.

    wtf. Next time my boss asks me to do something I'm just going to tell her I don't want to. I'll report back on how that goes over. Is she like that often?

    I really need to get to the store, but it's cold out and  I don't wanna. 

  • I've eaten so much chocolate today that my hands are shakey.  On my desk right now:

    Mint Dairy Milk

    8 peanut butter cups.

    Chest of chocolates, 150 pieces - 23 pieces = shakey

  • Your assistant has some serious cajones, doesn't she?  Maybe we can swap and you can kill my coworker and I'll kill yours.  No one will ever suspect!

    I'm already annoyed because I don't want to be here today and the stupid lady I'm making a database for keeps bringing me new information that completely alters the design.  So I have to keep scrapping what I have and starting over.  I joked that I wasn't going to do any work on her database until I hadn't heard from her for two weeks and she wigged out.  And I have to spend 20 minutes getting her to stop pointing to a date on the stupid report mock-up she made so she can focus on answering important questions.

    I don't know what I'm having for lunch, but it better be delightful.

    off and on. It's annoying as hell. Usually, I can deal with it but as I have a hangover and am trying to get a shitload of stuff done before I leave for a week, I am unamused.

  • I would love to feel sorry for you, but all of my pity is currently being used up on myself because the whole time we were spending time with my in-laws, my husband was promising me 4 straight days of doing nothing but sitting around in my PJ's, and I've been looking forward to it all.freaking.week.  Now he keeps trying to get me to go run a brazilian random errands with him, and each time he adds 1-2 new places to the list.  His current list would have me gone, out in public and away from my comfy PJ's and cozy couch for the whole day, and probably require that I take a shower and apply some makeup.  It's really harshing my mellow.

    Whoa is me!

    I feel your pain man. Yesterday after going to see The Little Fockers (which I mostly hated) with his parents, Heith made me go downtown to the big, crazy mall to help him get a new phone, and then we stayed there for two more hours shopping for clothes for him because got a mall gift certificate for Christmas. He didn't even end up buying anything besides his phone. *shakes fist*. And then today he was leaving to go to the school to do some marking, and was sweetly all "Can you tidy up a little?", and then texted me about going for supper with his cousin tonight after I go to the store and before we go to the movie. LET ME VEG IN PEACE DAMN YOU.

  • I am strongly considering telling my mother and stepfather to foff off for good.

    Want to share the story behind that? 

  • Its really, really long and I don't have it in me to type it all out. Basically they have decided that they hate Kevin and his family and feel compelled to bring it up constantly, then deny it, then say they don't hate him and precede to list all the reasons he sucks.

    ETA: All in all my mom has control issues and Kevin doesn't cater to her, and her negativity is harshing my buzz. I think she believes I will favor Kevin's family over her and stop spending time with her, so she says awful things about them to make me hate them. It just pisses me off and creates a self fulfilling prophecy for her.

  • Ugh, I'm sorry. You can borrow my voodoo doll if you want.

    ..Does your stepdad prefer to wear light or dark denim?

  • that sucks, Angie.  I'm sorry your mom is being such a hose beast :(
  • I'm sorry, Angie.  That has to be super annoying.  I support your decision to write them off for an undisclosed amount of time.

    On the bright side, your daughter is beautiful!

  • He is of the light denim variety.

    ETA: Hey thanks!

    Instead of writing them off, I plan on a slow distancing of myself.

  • Angie, that sucks!  I'm sorry.  I know very well how annoying mom issues are and I often toy with cutting her out just to avoid the drama and frustration.  I have definitely distanced myself from her since having Miles.  It's made me more sane, but I'm even less tolerant of her crazy when we do spend time together, if that makes any sense.
