Stupid vents

I hate when you order at fast food places, and you order your first item and they immediately tell you the total. No, I wasn't done. Maybe ask me if I'm done before dismissing me.

[isabel]

My dog is whining and keeps staring at me like she's expecting something. It's not dinner time and we're not walking until your dad gets home. Leave me alone!

[vicky]

I can't figure out if the new shoes I bought (highly recommended by veronika on her blog, apparently) have latex in them. The website says they're made out of foam.

I hate shopping for shoes.

I really like taking baths. For about 15 minutes. It is a colossal waste of water/money. I still want to have one.

One of my coworkers keeps referring to Asians as "Orientals." Every time he does it, I say "you mean Asians? Oriental is considered an offensive term." HE KEEPS DOING IT. I mean, he is like 60, but still. STOP IT. (This is the same guy who says "I suspicion" instead of "I suspect.")

Another coworker, upon learning that I am the lone liberal in my office, and therefore support gay rights, announced "That's so funny, because I'm like, TOTALLY the opposite!!" WTF?

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?

[schitzengiggles]

Now I have a ridiculously strong craving for Pad Thai. Mmmmm!!

Thanksfornothing!! Bah !!!

OMG IGNORANCE AND BIGOTRY IS LIKE, SO HILARIOUS!    

I know right?

Also, I am mortified that my accidental use of "loan" instead of "lone" in my OP is immortalized in your quote, lol.

I saved some of my lunch, so when I worked late, I wasn't starving. Now, I am leaving and I am starving. And there is nothing good between work and home and I REALLY don't want to go one second out of my way.

Stupid work.

My dog is being a huge asshole this pregnancy, and I am getting so fed up. Today, he got pissed and pissed next to the couch for no reason. We've gotten the vet involved, and we know that he is basically an old little ass, but I am still at a loss because I miss my awesome dog (the dog he used to be). He's going to be even worse when the baby gets here. Whomp womp.

I'm sorry. My old dog is an asshole now too. He wears a belly band whenever he's not in his crate. It's been a lifesaver (and carpet saver). I put a generic pad w/wings on it.

We tried the ones from petsmart that have elastic on the edges but he couldn't walk with them on. The belly bands are wonderful and not uncomfortable for him.

Why the fuck do fast food places only give you one napkin?

This is unacceptable.

good question - we got popeye's the other day and got nine million sporks but only like 2 things of honey (for the biscuits) and maybe 3 napkins...

This is not the time

I ordered a pizza & 2-liter deal but the pizza place is out of Sprite and there is nothing else I want so they're just comping part of my order instead. I really just wanted somebody to bring me a Sprite.

I have a vent, and I don't consider it stupid.

Last year, DH and I dropped Direct TV. I had done research to make sure I could still watch my shows, but mostly, watch MLB baseball games. I subscribed to MLB.TV, and it worked out pretty good. I was able to see most of the games I wanted using either my Roku or the app on my phone. Now, the playoffs have started, and not a single game is available for live streaming. The subscription for MLB TV is $130 a year, and they want to charge another $25 for playoff games, but for U.S. and Canada watchers, none of the games are live. You can watch the archived games 90 minutes after they are done. And the World Series won't be available online unless you are already a cable/satellite TV subscriber and have access through your provider. I know it's not just MLB that's to blame, I also blame Fox Sports, ESPN, and TBS. 
I'm inordinately worked up about this, even though my team hasn't sniffed the playoffs since 2006.

Wtf.

Considering your screen name, this CAN'T be a new think for you.

There is ridiculous drama brewing in our neighborhood, and I'm over it all. I want to sell my house or burn it down and move to the country where my only neighbors are owls and coyotes.

I'm irrationally irritated with my H right now. He always comes home right at the very second Im putting our 2yr old down. Which means that then the little terror is up for another hour because he's wound up seeing daddy. I NEED A BREAK!! His bedtime is my sanity.

This also makes me a massive asshole because I know my H loves kissing him goodnight and my little guy adores his daddy.

I just hate having an H with a job that works so late every damn day.

End rant.

The dress I ordered for my cousins boot camp graduation is huge. Now I have to wear one of the million dresses I already own.

[zoidberg]

I have been sick since Friday, and instead of getting better I just keep getting more sick. I am not pleased.

[mellymel]

I can't think of anything good for our menu this week. I'm so sick of our usual meal rotation. I just want to say "screw it all" and get takeout from now until forever.

Can't you just peace out and let him put the little man to bed? That's what I'd do! Lol

Once H and I were really thirsty and wanted a soda, but we didn't want to go anywhere. We ordered a pizza just so they would deliver soda. Lazy at its finest.

I wish! As a UPS driver he comes home filthy and hungry. Which means he sits in the kitchen, mows down his dinner and then jumps in the shower. That's at least 45 mins right there.

It blows.

Bummer. I mean, yay for father-son bonding, but I'm sorry it's cutting into your downtime. That is sacred!

In England, Asian means people from places like India or Pakistan.  Oriental means people from China or Japan or the like.  I freaked out the first time I heard that.  So, yes, you can use Oriental if you are in England.

It is five am and I am up.

Whyyy.

I am on day 2 of being sick with a fever, headache and general achieness. I am going to the Minute Clinic to rule out the flu once I drop my kids off at daycare because it's the last day I can get Tamiflu if I do have the legit flu.

[nomad100]

Fucking Fall allergies. I have almost sneezed my brain out my nose more than a dozen times this morning and gone through half a box of tissues and it isn't even 10 am. I look like Rudolph with my red nose.
