    My boss.  He was in the office all day yesterday. Not just in the building, in the office next to mine. And he is already here today. Way too early for him.  Yeah, it shouldn't bug me since it's his company, but since he is such a PITA, it bugs me that he is here so much lately.

    Knowing what I know about your boss, I'm bothered for you.

    OMG, and he has a friend today. Some old guy that we have delt with before is here. He is an old friend of my boss.  My boss offers him a latte and the guy said he has never had one before. I sort of made a "huh" sound at that. Old guy then says, "Better than sex, huh Latte5". Tongue Tied Gross old man.  I have met this guy maybe 3 times.  I can't deal with two of them.

     

    Tongue Tied

    Gross.  At least his son isn't there as well! (Or is he and you just haven't mentioned it? Sad)

    Not today. He was here the other day though. Annnd my boss tried to pimp him out again to some random sales woman he had just met. For real.

    What is WRONG with him!?!? Indifferent

    What's bugging me is DH's lack of a regular schedule.  I'm sure it sounds petty, but I'm annoyed that he can sleep in as late as he wants (sometimes he's still not up when I leave at 8:30), has time to go to the gym for an hour, showers at his leisure, and in general take his sweet time getting out the door because he doesn't have to be anywhere!  Then at night, I pretty much get home at the exact same time every single night because I ride the bus.  If I take a later bus, I text him to let him know.  He could totally just be home when I get home so we can eat together, but he doesn't.  I always have to call him and tell him to come home.  And he always acts surprised, "oh is it time for dinner?"  UGH!

    I am RIGHT there with you on that.  My DH can set his own hours to go into the office (he's a youth minister), so while I'm getting up at 5:45 a.m., he's sleeping in until 10:30 or so on some days.  And then doesn't get home until WAY after I get home.  And, most of the time that I talk to him about coming home earlier, he gets mad that I don't think he has a "real" job.  I know he has to go into the office, I wish he would just get up and go in earlier so he could be home when I get home!

  • And, I'm annoyed that I bought what I thought was sticks of butter, but instead is just a big 1 lb block of butter.  I didn't even know they made butter like that.  I have no idea what I'm going to do with it... I guess I'll just be eyeballing things for a while?  It doesn't have any of the lines of the wrapper to show how much a Tbs is.  Grrrrr.

    I'm in a similar situation. Some days DH opens the store at 5:30, other days he doesn't go in until 11:45, which means he's there until 10:30pm. And every week is not the same. It's annoying!

    Could you cut it in fours and put them in Ziploc bags for storage?  1 lb of butter is one cup, so each stick is a 1/4 cup.  I believe there are 8 Tbls in a 1/4 cup.  If you can quarter the large block, it'll be easier to figure out how much a Tbls is.  HTH!

    I'm annoyed when people get my hopes up. Don't lie to me and tell me you have something for me when you really don't. Or don't say you're going to get me something, and then get something else. 

    I'm not a needy person BUT if you say you're going to get/give me something, I get excited. Don't tease me like that. 

    Yea, I know that feeling!  I'm still waiting for my wedding card and gift from my sister (She didn't come to my wedding- that's a whole other issue).  So I've been waiting for approximately 5 years and 7 months Indifferent
    *I should add that she told me my gift was in the mail on my wedding day- which I had to call her on because she didn't 'think to call me'.  Ugh.  I'm still bitter, can't you tell?

    Good call!  I'll have to try that

  • Today is bugging me. Sad

    Thankfully, my husband recognized that it was going to be one of those days and volunteered to skip the gym to give me some time out tonight.  Now if I just had something to do... (I have to say this is the worst part about moving here so far. I know it will change as I meet people and get to know the area but still stinks)

    Brain damage. It just has to be brain damage. I don't know, but I wonder everyday how he can be that way. He thinks he is so funny and so nice.  It's amazing to see that kind of delusion.
