What's annoying you today?
And go.
Re: What's annoying you today?
We're kind of going out.
Ohh no this is terrible, I'm sorry.
My coworker taking way more than his # of allotted vacation days each year and my boss being oblivious to it.
Although the office is way more fun when its this quiet....
Poor Bowies. You win.
The little zit that appeared on the tip of my nose overnight.
Bowies - try a spoon a baking soda with a big glass of water. This always works for me for some quick relief.
Ooo, thanks for the tip! I've got a supply of Azo that's helping me through until I can see the doc this evening.
OMG Bowies. You win. That is awful, UTIs are so painful.
Everything about work is annoying me right now because I only have 5 hours left of it before a super duper long weekend. Everything is a rush, crisis, due today, a mess, etc.
Ow, Bowies. Good luck.
I'm annoying myself, lately. Last night I cried while I was making eggs. Get afvcking grip.
Bowies-- the baking soda thing is awesome as well as pure (not from concentrate) cranberry juice in a vat. You can get the one that is super concentrated from Whole Foods. Also, as much as it hurts to urinate (I'm so sorry. UTI's are really awful), drink lots of water and go as often as you can to flush your system. Hopefully you won't need the antibiotic, but these tips (as pp suggested too) should get you over the hump until the doctor can see you.
What is annoying me today is menstrual-like cramps. I can't tell if I am going to get my period this month or what is going on. They aren't super painful, but they are annoying. My pp bleeding has stopped so I am waiting on perhaps my period. There has been no between-the-sheets action (I haven't been cleared for anything below the belt yet) so I know I'm not pregnant. If I am going to get my period this soon then it better damn*-well get a move on. I will mention it at my 6 week appt on Nov. 29. Le sigh.
Seriously. I just got a new co-worker who talks like the Target Lady from SNL. She sits just on the other side of my cube and she's ALWAYS on the GD phone. For those who don't know her, the Target Lady's voice has been described as sounding like she has egg all over her vocal cords.

Do you get them often? I was getting them literally every time we had sex without a condom until I started taking a daily cranberry supplement. I haven't gotten one since then. I really thought nothing would help. I'm not even sure if it's the cranberry or placebo effect, but you'll have to pry this cranberry supplement from my cold, dead fingers.

My assistant. She is a major hosebeast. She's of the school of thought that she should report any questionable behavior on my part to my boss.
I had my review yesterday, and I was told I had turned down requests to attend early morning hearings because they were "too early for me." What a crock of sh!t! I have never done that! Not even one time! And what really grinds my gears is that all of this is logged electronically, so if I had done it, there would be concrete examples. So what did I say? I said, "Prove it. We have an electronic system, I want examples." Guess what? They didn't run the system to check that information. They have absolutely no hard data corroborating that complaint. Then I was told it could have been the "perception" that I do that. Wait, what? The perception? Somebody thinks that maybe I could possibly be rejecting early morning hearings, and that's enough to address as a problem in my review?
What kind of circus are we part of here? (And yes, I actually DO have a meeting w/ my boss today to discuss this--my review was not with my boss boss, only a supervisor). There are going to be fireworks.
In plain English, please! State your business, what you do and how you do it: KISS -- Keep it Simple, Stupid!
As a potential customer, that's the end of their potential business. See ya.
I don't want to win this contest! Thankfully I only get a UTI once a year or so.
Azzholes that think their lives are more important because they have kids. People are brand new and are all up Coworker BFF's azz about whether or not we get to leave early the day before Thanksgiving because "you have to understand, our babysitter nickels and dimes us". This was the same chick who tried DESPERATELY to convince my boss when she got this job that she should be able to work from home. We're customer support. Our whole job is based on our azzes sitting in the seat and answering the phone. If you can't manage that, maybe this isn't the job for you. So either remain unemployed or suck it up. My favorite is when she complains all the time (because we get out at 6pm) that her kids are eating later and therefore one of them is wetting the bed at night (because he's eating/drinking too late). If this is not acceptable to you, then you need to possibly give up HBO, trips to the Cape, etc. and learn to live on one income while you become a SAHM.

I used to get them so often that I just kept a bottle of cipro by my bed. Thank goodness that slowed down. However, so has my sex life. Lol.
The rain.
Myself for stupidly frying the crock pot (thankfully it wasn't plugged in, but it got water in it).
And DH when he tells me to "work around it" when I express my concern about my tires not being able to make it through the winter. I'm sorry, no. Even if I get the position I am being submitted for, I will have new tires before Christmas--even if they are my present. Thanks.
Joaquin was up from 3 am to 5am last night, up at 7, and hasn't been to sleep since even though her first nap usually starts at 10:30-11.
EVERYTHING IS ANNOYING ME TODAY.
All week annoyance... MIL.
We invited them to Thanksgiving dinner at our house 2 months ago and they accepted. We reminded them last month and again 2 weeks ago, both times she said they'd be over. We spoke with them over the weekend to discuss what time they should come over... they're not. They're going to FIL's sister's kid's house (so, H's cousin) for dinner.
Really, that's fine with me. I prefer to not be around her anyway. The annoyance comes in because she made alternate plans and now she's b!tching...
1. We're making our own holiday dinners as we've discussed repeatedly since DS came on the scene. H and I are both sick of running all over the place to every family members house on the holidays. We have a family now, we're staying home.
2. We're not tagging along to cousin's house. Even if we weren't already making dinner, we still wouldn't "tag along". We were not invited. Der.
3. When you cancel plans, you don't get to complain when we invite other people over instead. I can invite anyone to my house that I want.
4. You did this to yourself. STFU and quitcherbitchin'.

I have a few annoyances today...
1. It's snowing out so I don't feel like going any where. (It's my day off)
2. A co-worker of mine told me yesterday that she is pregnant, with her 5th child. (current 4 ages, 16, 12, 8, 2). This makes me sad as DH and I are a few years off from having kids but I am still jealous.
3. I have a course from 6-10 tonight, and I an so tired today, I may need a nap.
The radio in my car died. No music for the commute. And it's the speakers, so I can't even plug in my iPhone or anything.
