Whiny Wednesday
Anyone want to vent with me?
Re: Whiny Wednesday
I am at my freaking wits end with my MIL.
I bought DH a nice Movado watch for a wedding present. A year later my MIL bought DH a watch for his birthday and I swear to goodness it's a knockoff of the watch I bought him.
Two weeks ago she calls, "oh, I bought him another watch." I got a bit miffed. Whatever. Watch comes in the mail and it is the gaudiest watch of all time. It's got rhinestones all over it. Seriously, DH is never going to wear that watch. I'm pretty sure the last one she gave him is in the basement.
Last night, she called twice for him. I told her he was at baseball and wasn't answering his phone. The second time she called she says, "oh I was just on the phone with him and I lost reception and I called the house by accident."
I reminded her, yet again, that it is illegal to talk on a cell phone without a hands free device in Maryland. DH doesn't have Bluetooth and he was driving his massive work van. I point blank told her not to call him when she knew he was driving.
Yeah, she got off the phone with me, called DH and then yelled at him for me having the nerve to tell her when and when she cannot call her soon.
I know I over-analyze these things, but the woman drives me insane.
Vent over.
I have at least one!
What the heck is up with all the crappy traffic on 95 lately? Almost every single day there is an accident that makes me late for work. People need to learn how to drive at a safe distance, stop talking on their phones, etc.
My mother is being a big b!tch lately. I have a family member who is really sick (baby) and all of sudden she's acting like the baby's parents because she knows so much about the illness etc. She was over visiting on Sunday and brought her nephew (my cousin) and was just plain mean to him. I finally just told her that she needs to lay off the cursing in front of him and my children. She got in my face and said that had no room to talk. I told her to get out of my house! Oh she left in a huff. DH is happy that I finally told her off.
She's been calling and texting me, but I'm not answering. She wants to come over to see the girls, but at this point in my life I don't need the added stress she brings.
I know...I'm lucky that in the am I leave early enough to avoid most of what's been going on in the mornings but the afternoon has been so cruddy lately. I feel bad for LLHR...she started her new job downtown and all it's been for her is traffic! Hopefully by next week when the schools are all out it'll get better. I agree though...people need to hang up and drive!
My whine is that I'm tired of people complaining about their jobs (in my office). If you would just worry about yourself and not everyone else, things would get done. It's gotten really crappy in our department lately and while my group still gets along pretty well, I wouldn't be sad to do a lateral move outta here.
I wish I could leave early, but I can't. I drop off the girls the earliest I can at daycare. I hope next week with school out that traffic won't be as bad.
It has been insane! Thankfully the utter nightmares have been afternoon traffic, which stresses me out with getting M on time from her preschool, but at least I won't lose a job over it.
I'm hoping for a vast improvement next week!
