Randoms/vents/whatever floats your boat

Work vent:  An attorney that I do not like working with (due to her questionable work product), has asked me to run searches to put together a couple of document collections. 

First, she asked me to do a search that I have already done, and she has been working from. 

Second, she said that she has reviewed and coded "probably about 500 documents."  I just checked the database to see that she has coded 41 documents.  In what world is 41 close to 500?

  • Did they type 500 or say it out loud?  Maybe they meant 50?

    I don't really know what any of your post means so I'll just say I'm sorry that you have to work with a nincompoop.

    My cousins' wedding this weekend was so much fun and unique.  It was definitely a Texas hipster wedding (they drank blooming herbal tea at the alter, there were lots of vests and plaid, the band featured an accordion) but instead of feeling contrived everything was just so much fun and perfectly them.  It was exactly what they wanted and I'm happy that they got it, and happy that I got to go and meet some of the people I met.  And just be there for them.

    I'm not happy that my cousin's step mom and her dumbass aunt felt the need to shiit-talk his mom the whole time and engage me in political debate at every opportunity.

    Nadja is a perfect little ball of sweetness and light.  She makes hilarious faces and I absolutely loved holding her.  Also, Ryker is a hoot.  I had a great time with the Winged clan on Friday and I'm so glad I got to spend time with them.  Talked to Winged meant to much to me.

    I'm sappy for a Tuesday.

  • I wonder if anybody ever bothers reading anything Betty Bookworm posts.  I look at her eleventeen paragraph responses and don't even bother skimming.  I would read 20 Tarpon posts before I ever read one of hers.

    Word, sister friend.

    I see a post get bumped and go to click, but when I see Betty Bookworm, I'm just like, nope, I'll wait.

    She and Silly Goose are on the same level for me.

  • I guzzled a big glass of prune juice for breakfast- that probably wasn't a good idea.

    I had a date on Sunday but he cancelled because he said he got food poisoning from a food cart. I want to believe him, but I don't.

    Im going to a shooting range on Friday. I've never touched a gun before. I am equally nervous and excited.

    This was all via a telephone conversation.  I would hope she didn't mean to say 50, but, I wouldn't put it past this one. 

    I really should have just posted, "an attorney is giving me the rage," and left it at that.  That pretty much sums it up nicely.

    I love unique weddings.  The more cookie-cutter they are, the drunker I get, and the less I remember of it.

    Hmm. I'm not sure I would actually admit this to a potential date even if it was the truth.

    I know this song is like eleventy years old now, but whenever I hear that TI "Whatever You Like" song, I sing it like I have a grill in my mouth and I probably look just like the GERSBERMS girl.

    Well, just in case, I would ask which food cart it was and stay far away from it.

  • I love eating beets, but I might have to start boycotting them. I always forget what happens after I eat them and end up momentarily terrified when I think I just peed blood.

  • Today when I got to work there was a little smidgen of coffee left in the pot.  Just enough for a half cup of extra bitter coffee.  Who was the *** who took the good cup and didn't restart the coffee machine?  It's not that hard!  gaaaaahhhh!!

    (I'm actually not that cranky about it, but it really chaps my ass when I make sure to always refill it if I'm the last person.)

  • I keep thinking of new and awesome things to do at my house and then remember how much these projects cost and it makes me sad. 

     Im having angst over ttc. I want another kid, but I so greatly dislike pregnancy. And yet, I'm annoyed that I'm not pregnant already (and we've only tried for one month so far). 

     Speaking of pregnancy, a FB friend from HS just announced that she's going to be a grandma. Again. It makes me feel old.

  • My wedding dress came in and I want to see it in person (the one I tried on was 8 sizes too large), but my first fitting isn't until may 29th. 

    I just finished my lunch and I'm still starving.  This is not a good start for the afternoon. 

    I had a great long weekend vacation. I missed my bed, but otherwise I want to go back for a much longer duration.  

  • I wish someone would have clued me in to my tragic eyebrow situation from 1998-2003.
  • My Facebook friend who is always asking for prayers needs prayers for her laptop cord.  Someone told her to quit wasting time asking for prayers and just go to Best Buy.

    Yes

    If people are going to pray for you, it's not going to be for your effing laptop cable. "please pray that I can be a lazy cheapass and God will fix my dead electronics because I don't want to buy a new cord"

    I'm not going to ask how old you are, but kind of blows me away. /elitist

  • Okay. Yes, I am elitist generally and i do think a series of 18 year olds getting pregnant is not a good idea. But more, I was like 'wow. I'm old enough to know someone who is my own age who had a kid as an adult and that kid, who is now an adult herself, is having her 2nd kid. It makes me feel old, when I'm still working on babies here. So sue me.

    WHAT IS THIS?  I make regular ricotta pies every easter.  I've never heard of chocolate ones.  I need a recipe now. please. pretty please.

    I'm filled with rage right now.  I want to quit my job and tell everyone to go shove it, and go home and cuddle with my dogs and cry. 

    I need to reschedule a dr. appointment that is a month away.  My OB office is acting like I am asking to move mountains.  Seriously.  I've already called them twice, and now I'm waiting for a call back from them, because the scheduling people can't make the change without approval from a dr. The part that's making me really ragey is that this appointment is on a Friday, and I already have another appointment scheduled for the following Wednesday.  Can't we just skip this one?  Is it really that critical?

    I also had the most soul sucking meeting this morning. I won't bore you with the details, but it ended two hours ago, and I'm still upset about it.

    On the upside, my coworker gave me ice cream. That helped.

  • TTC has been at the forefront of my mind this week since I have a doctor appointment scheduled for Friday.  It's only a consultation type thing (although I would prefer they just do the tests at the same time), but it has me wondering if I should start charting and all that crap.  I really don't want to.  Reading Fallin's comments in another thread about checking cervical position and mucus just makes me feel like quitting.
