Can we do a WTF Wednesday?
It is Wednesday, right?
Okay - I'll start....
WTF is wrong with my little pup?
I have been working on a project for work for a week and I had it spread out on the floor trying to figure out what sequence to present the reports in and KJ walked over to it (I was sitting at my desk) and promply barfed on it. And managed to hit four separate piles of reports.
Awesome way to start the day. (Sorry for those of you who haven't eaten breakfast yet).
Hopefully my superiors at work will think more of my project than she did.
The best part is that she's running around, tossing her ball to herself, totally feeling better. Damn dog. 
Re: Can we do a WTF Wednesday?
WTF kids?
I'd like to have one week, heck even just a few days in a row, when you are ALL three healthy. No fevers, ear infections, throwing up, injuries/trips to the ER, etc.
DD #2 is home with me today imitating kiahj's dog. We've been potty training her lately, so today I'm going to introduce her to the concept of losing her lunch in the potty, and not on me.
WTF to this weather! the sun/downpours/thunderstorms/possible hail is really not my thing. i'd rather it be unseasonably cold than this humid(ish) mood swing crap!
WTF to 80 degree office temperature? The "chiller" (whateverTF that is) is out in our building and will remain out until further notice. There is no air circulation in my office right now. I'm usually freezing and running my heater and right now I'm about to shut my door and strip down to my cami. But I fear that shutting the door will only make matters worse.
Also, WTF to Boden for sending me a $20 voucher. I like free money (really I do) but nothing in your catalog is under $60. This is basically a bill for $40. And I'll still use it and spend more than that, I'm sure. So, really - WTF, MrsPhil?
That happens with my work building all the time! We get chilled water from the IRS building that cools the air for our A/C - the system is like 50 years old. When IRS's chiller is out, we're baking.
wtf classmate?
you're at least 40 and have been in this program for at least 2 years. by now you should know what is expected of you (ie, to have your homework, that the *entire* class needs to do our final project, done ON TIME & CORRECTLY). thanks to your week late-ness, I'm staying up until midnight every night to finish my final. Because of all the errors in your homework, I doubt that my design would be able to be implemented, but I can't worry about that now.
also, wtf sprout?
You're not even 10 months yet. keep the hands on the furniture. Mommy cannot handle you walking already. Stop growing up so fast!!!
WTF grad school?
In the midst of completing an online final in statistics last week, I pressed the Back button and erased all my answers. With 12 minutes left, I had to fudge the answers I could remember. Though I emailed my professor to ask for just a few more minutes to reenter my answers, he still graded the exam with missing answers and I got a 65% (!!!!) which brought my grade from an A to a B. Thanks a lot, way to be understanding!

Ditto this.
And.
WTF. A girl I used to be close with in grade school is pregnant. AGAIN. with ANOTHER man's baby. there's a lot of back story that I won't get into here, but, just WTF.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
This girl needs to donate me an egg.
She has a couple kids already potty trained - would you rather have one of those? Seems easier...
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
I have a friend I want to give the big W-T-F. You married the only decent guy you EVER dated and then divorced him because 'marriage was not your thing.' Now, you are back in your phase of dating TOTAL losers. Losers. Losers. Losers. And, the latest was a loser back in school and now is a divorced, fat, jobless loser. I might de-friend you on FB because I can't stand the train wreck posts. Plus, your other annoying FB friends who keep encouraging your stupid behavior. They are losers too!
UGH!
Seriously, I might be giving myself the big WTF for writing all this out.
Just the other day I was thinking of families with 5/6 kids. Some kid must be up every night, someone must be sick at any given moment, etc.
WTF random person from France logging into MY account with YahooMobile (I don't use that) and then spamming my contacts list. Especially since I used my home email when on maternity leave so I have all my work contacts in there. I am sure my boss loved receiving an email about sexual enhancement
K, I'll take one of them if they haven't been around long enough to pick up her and the three dad's bad behavior.
wtf closet?
why did you eat my shoe???
I'm cleaning out my closet this morning and switching out my summer and winter clothes/shoes. And I find that I am missing a sandal. It's the most perfect pair of light brown/nude colored sandals. Well, it used to be a pair--now I just have one. They had a little 1" kitten heel and I love them. They were perfect with sundresses when I wanted to be more dressy than flip flops, but not full on high heels. I have turned my closet inside out (and made a ridiculous mess) and I cannot find the other shoe :-(
Seriously? How can one shoe go missing???????
ETA: crisis averted. the shoe has been found. repeat, the shoe has been found! you can all go back to your regularly scheduled nesting :-)
this is a wtf/ bragplaint..
WTF ticker! Seriously only 4 days!?!? I'm all sorts of excited and nervous and excited since I'm finally healthy and well trained coming into a race so I have the potential to meet my goals. Eeep!
Totally forgot this one, which I was going to post separately about...
WTF best friend?
First you slept with ("dated" is not quite accurate, since I think it was just a series of booty calls) the absolute stupidest wrong guy for YEARS of your life, wasting all sorts of chances to meet a nice guy - and now you're sleeping with (again, no dating here!) a MARRIED MAN. With a 12 year old daughter. And you say to me "don't worry, it's not like I'm in love with him, it's not emotional, it's physical." Right, because that makes it better.
In a weird way if you were in love with him and it was emotional, I'd be more OK with it - as in, maybe he needs to dump his wife and marry you because you were meant to be, bla bla bla. But no, no danger of that. It's just physical. I wonder what his WIFE would say to that.
I didn't really react when you told me, and I'm trying not to judge you because I love you and care about you, but W.T.F.
I would be judging that sh!t up and down and around the block. Whoa.
i will ditto this because apparently i get to have the fun of crow's feet and breaking out. WTF?!
Ditto this.
Ugh. It is so hard to watch people you care about doing such stupid, self (and other people) destructive sh*t.
I believe that sexuality is fluid, that people experiment in college, and circumstances and feelings change.
But, WTF is up with my friend who was extremely butchy in college, with shaved head, tattoos, piercings, etc. now being totally femmed out and married to a guy who appears to be a solid 30+ years older than she is? This is someone who had an extremely large pink triangle tattooed directly over her personal bits, and would say, "It's an arrow, directing the ladies where to go!"
It's seriously blowing my mind. I feel a little bit like if someone told me Richard Simmons was married with 5 kids and spent his weekends participating in lumberjack contests and rodeos.
Don't get me wrong, she looks extremely happy, and I'm happy for her. But I cannot wrap my mind around the drastic change.
