Today I Hate...

Our HR department.  When Kirk got laid off I added him to my insurance.  They haven't taken out the premiums.  Since December.  Ugh, so annoyed.  Makes it difficult to budget when I can't figure out what my paycheck is supposed to be.

Oh, and it makes it hard to pay my bills when I'm down $600 suddenly without notice.  

Hate hate hate.

Who is bugging you today?

Re: Today I Hate...

  • my supervisor.  She screws up and then treats me like I'm an idiot.  She preaches about boundaries and won't pay me for overtime, so therefore I'm not technically allowed to work overtime.  Then tells me (because of her mistake) that I have to take a client somewhere at 1:00 today.  I'm supposed to be done at noon.  I told her this, and she basically said too bad.

  • Sorry Mary, that sucks:(

    I hate.... 

    The fact that I am at work today. My boss somehow neglected to tell me that he wouldn't be in at all today...thus making my presence pointless. I decided to text him at 11:30 which is when I found out. GREAT!

  • Michael's extended "family". They deserve quotes because they do not behave in a loving, supportive way. Not one of them has contacted either of us to see how Michael's been doing after his mother passed away. Michael's an only child that grew up without a father. You'd think they'd care enough to check in on him! My family and our friends are our real family. The ones that care about others more than themselves.

    Instead of consoling and supporting him, they've been attacking Michael on FB over politics. Once again, Michael's respectfully offering his thoughts and they're too arrogant, biased, stubborn and close-minded to consider anything he says as valid. Even when he's making a case FOR their cause! They automatically assume anything he says is wrong because they classify him as the opposition. If they swallowed their pride long enough to listen to him, they'd realize they agree on a lot of things. They blame everything on everyone else and declare themselves the victors. I'm so over it, and I finally spoke up. TBH, I'm kind of hoping they're put off by my comments. I have no motivation to keep a relationship with them.

  • I hate...being a grown up. My best friend terminated her pregnancy today after 3 different tests told her the same awful news. 

    I hate...being sick. I can't swallow, I'm not hungry and I feel like crap.

    I hate...clients who get confused, send me creative, approve that creative and then get mad when I send out their blast but it's wrong. Dude. I used what you sent me. If it was wrong, don't approve it!

    I hate...being cold. Enough already.

  • My husband, because I chose to buy a Nine West bag last week, and now he says I don't need to go to Coach with Stees next weekend and get another bag. Hmph.

  • I have a few:

    I hate Marks family- they are constantly telling us how busy their lives are and they cannot be bothered by coming to a shower or doing anything with us for the baby because they are too busy... seriously?!? I am really glad my family treats Mark like he is part of the family because that sucks. It hurts me inside to see him upset about it.

    I hate being tired. I know its my fault I stayed up too late but I cannot deal with the fatigue today. Seriously body I need a boost.

    Gestational diabetes- it sucks. I am struggling and probably have to start insulin next week. I know the baby is getting big fast, (as am I) but I still hate it. 

  • Riss I must have missed that Michael's mom passed away. So sorry to hear that :(

    today I hate WBC for protesting at the funeral of seven children who died in a fire. well truth be told, i hate WBC every day.

    i also hate when clients talk to me for 40+ minutes on the phone when i really need to pee.

    i also hate cancer. it sucks. it sucks so bad.

  • Riss and firefly, so sorry to hear that news. :(

    Today I hate gas prices. I have to fill up my car after work, and it's making me stabby. We're driving to my grandparents this weekend, 300 miles roundtrip, so I'm going to quickly burn through that gas, which double sucks.

  • Riss, I must've missed that Michael's mom passed away. So sorry to hear that. T&P for you both.

    Beth, so sorry to hear your friend is going through that. I can't even imagine. Prayers of strength for her.
  • Blackboard (the education website thing). it's such a PITA to use/set up. I'm supposed to design a site for my theoretical biochemistry course, and I'm thorougly not enjoying it.

    One woman actually dropped the class because of the Blackboard project, she couldn't figure it out. I think that's a little extreme, but now I kind of see why she did it.

  • Thanks ladies...I didn't make a post about it here...it happened in early January. Neither of us were prepared, and the administrative/estate stuff has been really difficult to deal with. Michael's been all over the place emotionally, we just take it day-by-day.

    my last job was about 50% blackboard set up- all for the general chemistry classes. It was terrible, because everyone thought i knew the answers to every thing, so i couldnt make any mistakes.

    Today I hate... delicious food. We went to the dr yesterday and Steven got really freaked out by the news he received. High blood pressure, they are apparently quite concerned about his risk for heart disease, so they are also testing his blood for high cholesterol, as well as problems with his liver and kidneys. I'm hoping that he was just over reacting, but he is absolutely freaking out and about to go anorexic on me. The dr told him to cut back on sodium, diet and exercise. Steven apparently decided that the rice diet was a good idea and I'm trying to talk him out of going that drastic. Sigh.

  • Riss & Beth: So very sorry for both of your situations.  I can't imagine dealing with either :(

     

    Today I hate that foggy feeling I get after I nap.  I've never been a napper before and I'm trying to sleep when Alex sleeps which I did really well today but I always feel so foggy after I wake up which I do not like at all.
