Can we have Tuesday vents/confessions, etc?

[Deleted]

My B-day was last week. H gave me a card and a bag of candy. He also told me that he would buy me something I've been wanting for awhile. H sucks at gift giving-so I didn't mind this arrangement. So Saturday, I say "they are almost out of the color I want, so I want to order it." He then tells me he can't since he bought X thing for himself last week. ^o) I went to the store yesterday and bought it myself and now HE IS MAD AT ME.
WTH--I want to punch him. Hard. :@

Boo! We just buy our own birthday gifts - that may work better going forward.

My confession is I can't walk up and down the stairs today. Crossfit kicked my ass.

I'm currently having a small bowel follow through, and it required me to get up 2 hours earlier than usual, drink copious amounts of barium goo, and now I have to hang out for however many hours it takes to work its way through my system. I can't even nap because a) there is no place, and b) I have to get x-rays every 15 minutes. I swear all these fucking tests are probably doing more harm than good, because so far none of them have found a damn thing.

OMG Nonny, that sounds horrible!

[pamela]

I want to punch people at work. Right now, the 2nd most senior person at the site is on the list. One of our 4 platforms is integrity and do what you say your going to do. Senior leadership has decided that what they said they were going to do (and commited to in writing) doesn't matter and they pulled resources from me at the last minute. I have a feeling the resolution isn't going to be pretty. This is the latest in a long litany of things that have gone wrong with my project in the last 2 weeks and my boss wonders why I'm stressed.

As a side note to that, apparently me pulling my hair back is my "get down to business, I'm going to be a hardass look" according to a comment my boss made to my coworkers. WTF? I wear my hair up most days because it goes crazy if I let it down. Today especially, it's "my hair is still wet so I didn't have a choice".

[bliss]

I'm not wearing any makeup this week to give my skin a break. I'm breaking out like crazy and just want my skin to breathe. Even though, I look sickly and frail when I don't have any makeup on.

And my confession, I ordered pizza for dinner last night in lieu of actual grocery shopping. I justified it because the pizza will last me through 2 lunches and 3 dinners.

I'm working from home today. Clearly working.

Oh no. That should not fly. No. No. No.

[ssmjlm]

Flygirl-DH's thing would be going back ASAP. That wouldn't fly for me at all.

I'm regretting starting our bathroom remodel. Thankfully it's the hall bath that no one uses, but seriously I have no motivation to work on it.

[Awkward]

I'm heading to the beach with some friends from high school this afternoon! The original plan was to take tomorrow off to hang out with them, but now that I have a funeral to attend on Thursday and I really can't take off two days in a row when I was on vacation last week.

[cajunmom]

I found a dog last night. A huge dog. He had a tag for a hunting club on him and I got in touch with the vice president of the hunting club and they were supposed to be trying to get in touch with the owners. I still haven't heard anything from anyone and I'm getting annoyed. He's a really nice dog but he's huge and he eats a LOT.

[Brie]

It's too damn hot to do anything here. I am not usually one to bitch about the weather, but going from indoors to outdoors here gives me freaking Braxton-Hicks contractions. My neighborhood looks like a ghost town, and I can't run errands or go to the gym until the sun has gone down because I get so sweaty and miserable.

It sucks.

[karinothing]

I recieved an award at work (yay!) and my manager just told me that she recieved compliments about my work product (yay!)

I jsut found out my claimant committed suicide after our decision (depressing)

[RitzyHeifer]

I'm annoyed by my CWs. We have a stupid union system whereby the only way to get a pay increase is to earn points by doing extra stuff (committee work, leadership, etc.) and you can also get points for having a high workload and such.

They're always on my ass acting like I get all these extra opportunities to do things, but no fewer than THREE of them this week said they had offers to do speaking, serve on committees, etc. and they turned them down.

Meanwhile, they're raking in points for "high workload" - I would have to serve on 7 committees or publish 3-4 peer-reviewed articles to get what they get for showing up. :@

[isabel]

I twisted my knee last night and now I can't really straighten it without feeling some pretty intense pain. I don't have a doctor here that I would consider going to and I don't want to pay for an MRI just to find out I need to rest it. I don't know what to do and I am pissed that this is going to interfere with my workouts.

Also, I got everything done yesterday on my chore list so now I can sit around and be a lazy ass today! Yay!

[Deleted]

I work in a small office and one of my coworkers seriously does nothing. Every time I go by his office, he's reading news articles or watching videos online. Then when he does need to get something done, he's waited til the last minute and asks for help. And then someone has to drop what they are doing to help him. Annoying.

Dang! I can't imagine not calling immediately if someone found my dog I'd be so happy!

It's very nice of you to take care of him.

[womet]

My foot has been bothering me for a bit. At first, I thought I twisted i. But now I think there is something actually wrong with it. When I stand on my toes, it hurts. It was hurting a bit last night in the pool too. I probably need to have it xrayed to rule out a break, but I am so busy this week. I guess I just need to make the time to have it looked at.

[picaflora]

We just found out that the private (large) company I work for is entertaining offers to be bought by a private equity firm. Except... we found out through a news source and not the company itself.

My boss was in a meeting early this am, and posted on fb that she was frustrated. After others asking about her job (after reading the news) she posts that her job is safe, but her dept (my group) will have to take on a different department's work, and they are trying to cut us down by one. She's in other meetings and won't be in until 3pm. WTF?!? A number of us are her friends on fb... don't put this out there before discussing with us!

My mom hasn't been breathing well for the past week and is at the hospital for more tests. They've ruled out asthma, pneumonia, and her EKG came back fine at the time. She went in at 9am, and I haven't heard from her. I'm trying to not freak out about that as well...

I really want to go home and curl up under a rock.

My uncle posted some really stupid stuff on Facebook about gun control and the Aurora shootings. I called him out and we had some words.

He called my mom and told her I'm disrespectful and she needs to "reign" me in.

LOL

I just blocked someone on Facebook for making an ignorant statement (well, one of many). I often bite my tongue to avoid altercations, so I admire your chutzpah!

[Rachael070707]

There's a big event going on here in town this week. We hate this week every year because we can't go anywhere with all the tourists. Normally we try to go out of town for at least one weekend of it but not this year. Driving is so much worse because we have major highway construction going on. They've put roundabouts in everywhere since last year so the tourists can't figure out how to use them. I think I've almost died 4 times since the influx started on Saturday. I have to go through 8 roundabouts a day so I'm Jesus-take-the-wheeling multiple times in a rather short period.

I got put on probation yesterday at work for 30 days for some bs reasons that really dont have any grounds. It was a verbal probation so Im not really sure what to think of it. Nothing was written. Im so upset that Im trying to work really hard but Im scared this is just a move to fire me..... :@

[chessie]

I am very pissed with work. Currently on call for the last 2 weeks, and last night while I was in the shower I missed a call, within that 10 minute window my boss was called and I got into deep shit with them. Apparently I am not suppose to go anywhere without picking up my god dam phone. Mind u they called my phone 10 times within that 10 minutes I was away, and now I am in trouble for being in the bathroom, SOB.

That's ridiculous. If he's that upset can't he return X thing, that he purchased for himself?

My confession is that I screwed up and made a rookie mom mistake. I showed him the Harvard Baseball Call Me Maybe video, and now he is obsessed. He watches it over and over and over again. I have no one to blame but myself

[Deleted]

My friend is observing Ramadan.

So I am literally going HOG-WILD at lunch for about a month.

[jigsy]

I have two weeks left at my current job, I should be busting ass to make sure the next person doesn't cone in with a shit ton of stuff to do while new to the job, but I have short timers and I done wanna. Harumpf!

[StJess80]

I have a $5 gc and a 10% off coupon to Sephora and I don't need anything, but I want to use them!!!

[justjen]

My promotion was announced today -- it was an email in which my manager said all sorts of nice things about me. It seems like the entire company is now emailing me congrats and saying other nice things about me. It's a pretty good day.

Confession: I know that this is an AW, so I willfully ignored the rules of this post.

It sucked but apparently my digestive track is awesome at moving barium "smoothie" because they only had to take three X-rays (so 45 minutes) before they stuck me under the fluoroscope (sp?) and sent me on my way. I was out in under 2 hours and they told me to it could take 3 or more. I got out in time to get a Sausage McMuffin at McDonald's before they stopped serving breakfast. I also tried a chocolate chip frappe, which was disappointing.
