I have a Tuesday B&M
We are in Victoria, BC at my parents place. My sister who lives just a few blocks away is going to be checking on our house while we are gone. Out stupid freezer part of our fridge resets itself to +1 C, just above freezing, when the power goes out so you have to manually reset it. We mentioned to my sister but figured it wouldnt happen. Well, it's been so hot at home they are doing planned blackouts. So likely the power will go out every day while we are gone. And my sister is also OOT until Wednesday. So now we are calling in favors to anyone we can find who is around. Dumb fridge!!!!
Also B and I are taking the ferry to Seattle on Friday for the night and leaving M with my parents. First night both of us will be away from her. She has been sleeping like crap and lots of times I can only get her down/calm her down if I nurse her..should be interesting.
Re: I have a Tuesday B&M
It's my first day back at work after my vacation so I'm pumped there's a Tuesday B&M...
I was out of the office from 6/29 until 7/9 and had both my voicemail and email messages set which told students if they needed immediate assistance, they should call the general number to the center where I work. Well, I get back this morning and noticed a couple fwded messages from a coworker of mine. Instead of helping some students who contacted her after seeing that I was gone, my coworker just forwarded the emails back to me. Ummm WTF? One student emailed on 7/3 asking to set up an appointment with an advisor. Another asked if she could switch her math class from 8am to 10am. Why would she make the student wait an entire week when it would take her 2 seconds to answer them and fix the problem?! On top of that, she screws up schedules (overrides time conflict errors, meaning she'll schedule a student for two classes at the same time sometimes), forgets to leave folders out that have transfer credits that need to be posted, and overall drives me batty with her negative attitude (which totally rubs off onto me). It'll be another 5 years until she retires...I like her as a person (we chit chat from time to time and she is funny when she's not in a bad mood), but holy God, I cannot handle this work crap for another 5 years.
I hope that M has a good night tonight. Enjoy Seattle though!
Smitty... hang in there and just realize that the last thing you want is to be negative like her. Annoy her with sunshine, lol.
Sorry you have to clean up her errors though. That must be frustrating.
Hang in ladies....
I feel like my BFF is avoiding me like the plague right now.
She's been through the same problems I have regarding previous pregnancies but we both made a promise to always tell each other when we got pregnant so we wouldn't hear it from any one else and we would always be there for each other.
A few months ago she told me she had actually had another MC a month before. I didn't even know she was pregnant let alone that there were any problems. But whatever-it's her news to tell me. She then tells me about how this person said this and this person said that about it. So all those people know before me? If I did that, shiit would get all kinds of real I'm sure.
I called her a few weeks ago to break the good news to her about us and she seemed excited but now she won't talk to me or text me back.
When I saw the heart beat I texted her (LIKE SHE ASKED ME TO DO) and all she said back was, "Congrats." Thanks?
She just posted on Facebook about going on vacation with a girl she works/worked with...who she was SOOO mad at because the girl didn't tell her she was pregnant and she found out through other people.
Um, okay?
I don't know if it's hard for her to be around me right now or if she's mad at me about something entirely different or what...I'm not sure. It bums me out though. I did everything we agreed on...and she's not happy with me about it. I don't know what to do. Bahhh..
I have one too.
I am STILL going back and forth with the rug company on my defective rug. I decided today that I had enough and just asked them to send me a replacement. I don't even care about any kind of discount I would potentially get at this point. The last two times I have spoken with someone at customer service they have told me their supervisor has to approve it, and she seems to never be in the office. Although the people I have actually spoken to have been very helpful, apparently just the higher ups are incompetent. Thankfully I saved the wrapping that the original rug came in so I am just going to re-package it in that and wrap a ton of tape around it.
I have one as well... Lance was asked to switch shifts today, which would be fine except that he now has to work a double shift right in the middle of summer which will mean 2 weeks of non stop bitching about it and not having him home to enjoy our summer for an extra week. He'll also have to find someone new to cover for him when I go into labor (he's had someone lined up since spring, it's not an easy feat finding someone willing to cover during the summer on short notice)... And now he'll get Christmas off, but will have to work 6 more in a row!!! He's already worked it for the past 2 years and would only have this year and possibly next year left to work, so I was looking forward to having him home for Christmas when Wyatt was old enough to understand it. So much for that
That sucks! Can he say no?
Agreed. If he takes the shift, he has no right to complain. It was his CHOICE.
I just saw this, Krissy... I'm sorry. AF arrived for me today and I had severe cramps... not usual for me. Though I have no PG desires or issues... big hugs to you.
I know some people who have had emotional and physical struggles with pregnancies avoid all things pregnancy-related... like they dont even want to be around or hear about anyone getting pregnant. I think this is sad and though I can't judge in this particular situation b/c I've never been or tried to get pregnant. Though after I lost my marriage, I know I needed to briefly take a break from this board, it didn't take me long to get over it and it wasn't like I was going to avoid weddings or anything. I think life has to continue going and your friend might be a little caught up in her own issues. Maybe you should just ask her if everything is ok, that you haven't heard much from her and miss her. If she truly is your bff, hopefully you guys can talk it over. It's so tough when you have something you are ecstatic over and the people around you aren't as much so. I know WE are SUPER excited for you and have been pulling for you all this time so big, big hugs and little squeals of excitement for you from Cali.
He does have a choice, but the run that he's working on is being dissolved so they had to try to put him somewhere... which could mean he would be out of work for a while until they found something for him. We talked about it when he got home and as it turns out he asked about Christmas when they asked. Apparently they are going to try to switch him back to this shift by next Christmas, which would actually work in our favor. The only problem is that we don't know for sure if they'll actually be able to switch back, so it's a risk that we would have to take. The nice part of it would be that he would get a whole shift's worth of overtime when he makes the switch, which we could use at this point.
