I feel like complaining- FFFC?

I have a lot of them, but need to think how to word them vaguely enough for the interwebz.

Why is it that my H can cut down on his junk food for a week and lose 5lbs and I have eaten healthy and worked out almost every day for the past week and lost 0??? grrrrr!!!!!

My mom is making inappropriate PG comments to me. I don't know how much more I can take. About a month ago, I found out via fb that my hs bf's 2 year old was diagnosed with Rhett Syndrome. I was telling my Mom (she asks about him from time to time) & she said 'See, good thing you didn't marry him. You could have ended up with a baby like that'. WTF! 1) I can't even keep a baby in my belly & 2) wtf kind of comment is that? Inappropriate in so many ways. Today, my cousin announced his wife's PG to the family. My Mom just texted me to tell me the pressure's on. Really? Because I don't have enough PG things to worry about. You telling me about the pressure really helps, thanks.

I was just about to post a FFFC!

I know I've said I'm going to quit my job before. Then I got KU, had DD, and now we have a good thing going on with my work schedule so now is not a good time to leave. But I want to. OMFG. I'm so flipping over it. Done. Wednesday was just the icing on the cake.

It was insane that night. Super sick patients, I'm doing chest compressions, setting up dialysis, charting on a new pt that just came out of the OR. I was supposed to get a pt out of the OR, but they weren't going to come out till 4 or 5am bc it had been so hectic, so I was helping out where I could during the madness. We were really short staffed and 2 of our patients were so sick that they needed 2 nurses to take care of them. One of our nurses was on call and was coming in at 11pm. 2 nurses were leaving at 11, which meant that I was going to have to take patients and we'd figure out who would take the pt coming out of the OR later.

Backstory: I've been at my job for 3 years. Before I got pg I was hounding them about giving me sicker pts. They barely did. Then I got KU and didn't care anymore. I came back from maternity leave and I still didn't care - I just wanted to be able to pump. I was fine with the way things were. Annoyed at times, sure, but whatever. They were really scrambling to find experienced nurses, and here I was, 3 years there, and useless.

The charge nurse asked me if I had ever taken a particular type of pt straight out of the OR (I had taken care of this pt on Mon & had also listened to report on him bc I knew he was coming out of the OR and would be bleeding a lot). I said no. Then he asked if I have ever taken care of the super sick 2 nurses to 1 pt type of pt. Again, I said no. He said I might have to and I told him I was excited about that.

At 11, a nurse that has been there half them time I've been there and has never had those types of pts either was put in to OR pts room. I was put in my typical 2 pt, crappy assignments that I always get. I was LIVID. I didn't say anything at first, but later on when the charge nurse asked me how I was doing, I gave him an earful. He fedme some bull about how he got the impression from me that I didn't seem comfortable taking those types of pts with such little resources available (everyone was so busy). I never said anything like that, and I told him. then he said we'll start giving you sicker pts, blah blah bullsh*t. Whatever.

I have been happily plodding along, then this had to happen. I didn't think I'd get so mad, but seriously, it was like a slap in the face. I'm so over it. And I'm stuck. FML. I keep telling myself that Zoe is worth all this sh*t, and she most certainly is!

Thanks for reading, if you made it this far!

Holy cow, Jen. That sounds like something my mother would say. Yikes.

I don't have anything to really complain about today except that there is someone on my friend's list on FB who keeps complaining about how people aren't paying attention to what's going on in DC simply based on the fact that no one is commenting on his posts about it. It really annoys with when he's all "You people need to wake up!" like he is trying to start a FB revolution or something. Calm down!

StingShark425 · July 2011

I have nothing.

I think one of DH's ex/gfs is trying to creep on my fb.. she is the stalker type.

my papa is driving me batty w/ all his anti-obama comments on FB. I'm not pro-obama, but man give it a rest already. posting on fb about it daily isn't changing anything... but he's my papa and I can't block him.. uhm, and yes, my grandfather has fb and he knows how to use it =p

sara76 · July 2011

I have an Obama hating relative also. Blocked. I'm mostly on Facebook to see pictures of pets and children, and for funny videos and anecdotes. Not for hating. I delete and block people daily. It is my time and I'll do what I want

I don't really have any FFFCs today. Lame.

jen812 · July 2011

I'd also like to complain about my sister. You know I have a hard time seeing eye to eye with her. So, here's her latest... She got a new job & is making a lot more than she used to. She is really, really bad with money. So she's been buying electronic toys left & right. She also has these big plans to buy a house next year which is a nice goal if you didn't have the worst credit in the world. She can't get a car loan. How is she ever going to get a mortgage? Then she has these big plans to go to the next summer Olympics with her DD. I told her how expensive it would be, but she thinks she can do it. That's also a fine goal, but I don't think I'd be telling my 7 year old until I was positive we were going. How disappointing for a little kid. And then my niece is going around telling people she's going to the Olympics. So I try telling my sister my concerns, nicely, how disappointing that can be for a child to be let down by her parent. Her response was that it's going to happen so there's nothing to worry about. Sigh.

I still have knots in my stomach about this. It sucks.

jen812 · July 2011

I told you I felt like complaining. I'd also like to vent about the director at the dance school where I teach. Last Saturday, I met with her to go over my teaching schedule for next year. She tells me she hired a 19 year old with no experience to teach almost all of my classes. Her excuse was that she'll work for peanuts compared to what I pay you. Awesome. So now, I have 3 classes next year & the new girl has 6. Last year, I taught all 9 of them. That's quite a pay cut.

My H and I have not been very happy lately. Having three young children is more work than I could have ever imagined. We are working on things, and I want things to be the way they used to, but man it is hard work. I am looking forward to him being done with a HUGE project at work, so he can be less stressed. I could go on and on but I won't bore you with all the details.

Your cousin and his wife being PG has nothing to do with you. Saying the pressure is on ... what the heck is your mom thinking?

jennifer80808 · July 2011

My H has been traveling. A LOT. I can count on one hand the number of times he's been home since Kennedy's surgery. I know his job is important, and I understand he has to be gone. It's just really hard sometimes. And MIL is back to her games again. Oh wait, she never stopped. It's just worse. AND I'm completely stuck with my inlaws (FIL, his wife, her mother and H's grandma) tomorrow, and then BIL and MIL on Sunday. Lucky me!!! I can listen to them tell me how to take care of my kid all weekend. And if any of them continue to call her "their" baby, I may attack. Angry

Vent Over. Big Smile

Logically, I know. But I still have this sick to my stomach feeling. My mom texted me a little while ago & said you know I was kidding right? My response was 'yeah, well it's none of your business'. She didn't respond.

I haven't been on in a while because more and more is being dumped on me at work. I don't mind, but I'm taking on tasks that other people can't complete. It is just so frustrating.

I hate progress energy. They have a monopoly on the market in pinellas county and their customer service reps are rude. We lost a ton or electronics and appliances last night during the storm as well as having a pipe burst because of a surge that was caused by them neglecting to cut the trees around the lines. They are trying to give us hard time about the claims. Last night they gave us a hard time and didn't put in the live power line down until over an hour after we reported it. One of the reps was so rude he had his croonie call my phone while I was on DH's to ask if my power was back on and then proceded to hang up on me when!

DH is trying so hard to get a job and is getting so frustrated. I just want something to come around for him soon.

nicoleg1982 · July 2011

I just saw my gyn. Everything he said makes me grumble. Hopefully I'll go back in a month and be back to normal though.

"You know I was kidding right?" is not really making it better. She should have said "I'm sorry for being an ass". I'm sorry

I feel bad even feeling bad about things...I know things for me could be a lot worse, but everyone has their own perspective, right? Here goes...

I'm so annoyed that we still live here. Haven't I paid my "dues"? 2 years living with my ILs is about 1 year 363 days too many. Sharing a bathroom with 5 other people is really not fun, especially when 3 of those 5 do little to nothing to clean up after themselves. At least I'm not homeless, right? And I do love my car.

I have other things, but its not even worth bringing it up.

diamondgrrl5 · July 2011

Today my coworkers had a farewell lunch for me and it would have been nice except for I know it was last minute, I oculd hardly eat any of it, and everybody (except 1) coworker ignored me. I got a picture frame as a gift that I found out later only happened because the one coworker that didn't ignore me gave it to me because she felt like I deserved something and even though she doesn't have money to spare she took the time to give me something. I spent almost 5 years working for them and they couldn't even have the decency to have a little respect for me on my last day?! I didn't even know today was my last day since they made such a fuss about me working through part of next week and then I find out after lunch that they were going to let me go. GOOD RIDDANCE!

We are having problems with just 1 ,so I can't imagine what you guys are going through! H and I have been together for so long before Zoe came around, and we are having a hard time adjusting. We're not fighting all the time, but right now I feel like roommates. Blah. I know it will get better, but right now........blah!
