Yeah, that's not fair. It's not your coworker's place to scold you.
I busted into the Halloween candy last night and OD'd on Twix lol. But it was worth it! Today I'm making something healthy to make up for it (butternut squash soup).

Uh yeah, your coworker needs to get over it. I don't even pay attention or question if someone walks in late or takes a long break/lunch. I figure they cleared it with management or they will deal with it, not me. Ridiculous.
I'm sick of my cats waking me up at like 5 (I usually get up at 6:45). Then our smoke detector was beeping for a low battery. It was far enough apart to ignore it for a while, but then it was like every minute. H got up and just took it down temporarily, lol. At least I have tomorrow off to catch up on sleep!
Basically I'm pissed at my friends. BFF is so wrapped up in her own stuff that she only calls when she has 10 minutes to talk about her/her problems and barely asks how I am. Honestly, she has a lot going on right now, but she can be selfish and I just wish she would at least ask.
Also, our roommate that lived with us for 5 years (never paid rent/utility costs, we would frequently pay to eat out or invite him to eat something I had cooked, etc.) has been flaky. He is working a job with required overtime and I completely understand he is totally busy, but last week I text him to ask for his help on Saturday at the house. I told him DH has been completely stressed out and was back in the ER and we just need help to get things done. He waited until 11:30 on Saturday to text me back and say he couldn't help for a completely legitimate reason. I was upset but understood. Well, found out yesterday he lied about said reason and now I'm just pissed. This is the first time I have asked him for help at all because we NEED it and he blows us off. I just am so disappointed because I thought he was a better friend. I get he has his own thing going on, but damn my DH was in the FUCKING ER WITH CHEST PAINS and you still can't give me one Saturday's worth of help?!!?
I just kinda hate my friends right now. And I'm hardcore missing our own really good friend that lives in Montana. I swear he would drop everything to help us in 2 seconds.
I hate coworkers like that. I'm sorry you are getting this much back lash from something they do daily.
bk1- ((hugs)) I am so sorry you are struggling. And I'm sorry your friend doesn't want to help you. We have a few friends that we have helped out and they would never do anything for us either. It really sucks. I wish DH and I could come and help you.
bk1 I'm sorry your friends are flaking out on you. My sister is a bit self-centered these days too. She calls me when she has a lot of news to share and doesn't even ask how I'm doing. She can go on for an hour while I listen, and if I try to talk about my life she just grunts and then launches back into whatever she was saying.
She also doesn't want to hear about my H AT ALL. The longer I've been married, the more she resents the fact that I'm married and she's not, since she's the older sister. But what am I supposed to do about that? I try to be considerate of her feelings on this, but now it's like I'm censoring myself. I avoid saying "We" and instead say "I;" for instance, "I went to Red Lobster" when clearly it was both of us. It's really awkward. She liked my H when I married him and was supportive, but her bitterness is eroding our relationship.
Here's my confession: I don't think she's been able to meet someone yet because she's shallow. Like she's incredibly picky about their looks and will be super rude if a guy doesn't look like Mark Ruffalo or Simon Baker. Imho that shallowness is really keeping her from giving some great guys a chance.
It feels like Thursday. This week is moving so slowly!
I feel you! I normally go into work on Tues and Weds...this week was Mon and Tues. I'm all messed up now and am sad every time I'm reminded that today is only Weds. Hope the rest of the week goes by much faster than the first half!

Huge ((hugs)) bk1! I'm so sorry your friends are not being there for you right now. I wish that I lived closer and could help you guys out (although not sure how much help I would be these days). You deserve so much better! I can totally relate with you on your BFF...I'm having the same issues with mine as well and it's really annoying me lately, almost to the point of not wanting to see her and be there for her (confession: I have ignored some of her phone calls lately because it's always self-absorbed drama...which I totally get but I need a break from it at times!). Sending you LOTS of ((hugs))! Hope your friends come around and you and your DH are able to get things completed without too much stress.
anyastroud That's SUPER annoying. What a double standard. I'd be pissed too
bk1 ((hugs)) That sounds so frustrating. I wish your friend would smarten up and just help since you guys do SO much for him it sounds the least he could do was help you guys out especially given your circumstances! If I lived close I'd help with what I could!
I can count on my hand how many horrible beyond horrible days at my job and today marked #3! Is it to early to take shots
Do we work at the same office? Seriously call my office and about 98.9 percent of the time you will talk to me first because no one else knows how to answer a fucking phone.
@emtmissy- that is one of my biggest pet peeves at work. It's a hard job as it is, I don't want to add the lazy ass partner to take care of to my list of stuff to get done.
