Good Morning!
Happy Monday ladies! What are you up to today? I got up at 6h30 to get ready for work (I'm a nanny) after having had the last two weeks off. I get to work at 8h45 only to find out that the family has not yet returned from vacation. So now I'm back home and contemplating what to do with my day.
QOTD: In what inconsiderate ways have people wasted your time recently? Feel free to vent 
Re: Good Morning!
Good morning! ctgirl and ctbaby (and maybe ctman) are coming over this afternoon. I'm looking forward to speaking with adults since that's often not part of my daily life. :-)
QOTD: For an online class through NYU we were supposed to have a live online session on Saturday. Several of us showed up, but the instructor never did. It turned out she had a flat tire and couldn't make it back to her computer in time. I don't think that really counts as inconsiderate since it was hardly her fault, and those of us who were there still had a nice chat about different classes and teachers in the program we're in. So it doesn't really fit the question, but it was almost an hour out of my Saturday without the intended purpose being fulfilled.
Good morning! I?m off to get DD in a bit. Then it?s trying to figure out what she would like for lunch. Hopefully getting in a bit of a nap, but that?s a big maybe.
QOTD: I had client who used to call and cancel just as I was walking out the door. Drove me nuts. Now I don?t work for them. Problem solved, but no money.
Sooo annoying. When she's sick, my nanny calls 15 minutes after she normally arrives to tell me she can't come.
I'm so glad the contract ends in 2 weeks. When we come back in the fall we're getting a new nanny.
Morning. I had to come in early today as the library assistant (who usually opens on Monday morning) said she wouldn't be in until the afternoon. Now I'm tired and staring at the computer too much.
QOTD: in related news, said library assistant just called and said she'll "try her best" to get in today but it doesn't look good. Listen, if you wanted the day off then take it, but give me advance warning. I wanted to leave at 5:00 and go to the gym. Now I have to stay and close the library myself. ::grumble::
Myblueangel, that suuuucks. So sorry! How annoying.
I finally went to the Alliance Francaise for my placement test today and am going to spend this week in an intensive writing class before my slew of visitors start arriving next week and rob me of any time to do stuff like this.
To answer your QOTD, I think the worst was when I returned from maternity leave and they had changed the locks to my office without telling me or giving me a new key. I showed up bright and early to get organized and be ready to go and ended up sitting in the hallway in front of the office door for an hour.
Good morning! I am trying to motivate myself when all I want to do is play around online and think about my holiday next week. My only goal for today is to make it to the gym tonight, I need a good week this week!
QODT: I'm a PA, so pretty much my entire working life involves people wasting my time. My time is always less valuable than anyone else's so I spend much of my day going round in circles with people!

Morning. N woke up crying/upset at 4am and it took me a while to get back to sleep and then my alarm went off at 5.50... Tired now and really not in the mood for work.
QOTD: N has been sick the past week (hence the waking upset at 4am! Today wasn't the first time) and I brought her to the doctor on Friday morning to their walk in clinic (no appointment needed). Seeing the busy waiting room (before they had started seeing anyone) I asked to see whichever doctor would be quickest to see. After 45 mins I notice that some people who arrived after me were getting called before me... The receptionist picked the doctor that was slower (I even knew she would be slower!!). An hour and a half of entertaining N in a bare waiting room later, I get called in to see the doctor... For the last 10 minutes I basically stood by the reception desk with her bag on my shoulder and her in my arms letting her make noise just to annoy the receptionist who did this... Served her right!! And yes, I did point out to her that this was why I asked for the shorter queue... GRRRR....
Good morning ladies. I'm headed to work in a few minutes. It was a tiring weekend. I have to go in on Saturdays for a few hours this time of year, and I'm ready for a two day weekend again! Alexandra fell down on the sidewalk yesterday while waiting for a table for breakfast, resulting in a scraped face and bloody nose, she then got some of daddy's omelette which had hot sauce on it (he forgot), and caught her fingers which closing a basket. So, we are all ready for a new day!
QOTD: Not responded to emails in a timely manner.
Good morning ladies and Happy Monday!
I went to the gym for the first time in a week because I've been sick and it felt really good to get back into it. I have a muffin and coffee for breakfast and I'm in a surprisingly good mood.
QOTD: I work in a clothing store, and a couple weeks ago a woman stayed after we closed trying on every article of clothing we sell. After staying for over 20 minutes beyond when we're meant to close, so bought a camisole. I had already worked my other job all day, then this one, and all I wanted to do was go home and sleep. I was enraged.
