I was approached about a job months ago. FTR, I currently have a job that pays well and I don't want to stab my eyes out on a daily basis. This process is getting long and annoying and is making me doubt myself. I know they aren't interviewing anyone else (at least currently). I know the hiring manager wants to hire me.
But the hoops! OMG, the hoops! I want to cry.
My job search has not only made me doubt myself -- it has made me feel like an all-out unmarketable loser.
Job searching sucks.
So it's not just me that feels like I will never, ever find another job and that I should be thankful for what I have since I'm apparently an idiot?
Why are receipts from Walgreens filling you with rage?
Every single time I go to Walgreens the receipts piss me off. I stop in a few times a week for a bottle of pop or a prescription, magazine, etc, and I always get a 1 or 2 foot long receipt that they had me with my change. I feel so awkward holding up the line while I separate it from the dollar bills because I can't fit this giant receipt in my wallet. It's wasteful and just clogs my purse with crumpled receipts. Sometimes they have an option on the card swipey things to have a receipt emailed, but no matter how hard or how many times I press that button, I always get the printed receipt and then I get even more frustrated, like the option is just taunting me.
Did you see this Halloween costume photo that got passed around Buzzfeed, Jezebel, etc. a few weeks ago?
As part of insurance, they want us to do a wellness exam, which involves a blood draw. I also have to have a fasting one that my doctor ordered so I figured I'd do it at the same time. Logic, right?
Wrong. They won't do the employee one before 1 pm even if I'm already there with a needle in my arm! I called a different location and they will do it,but I'm already at work, without coffee for the day and hungry, and all for nothing.
eff that noise, Hamster! That is absurd.
My doctors' office lets people come in for first-thing-in-the-AM blood draws no matter when your appointment is, so you can avoid this. Of all the things that annoy me about the office, this is one that I appreciate.

I think it's just the legal profession, I feel the same exact way.

I'm with you, except the having a job part since my job is temporary so even that will go away at some point. It's horrible.
And incredibly unmotivating. I know I won't find another job unless I apply, but each rejection (or hearing nothing at all) makes me feel less like applying since it feels like a waste of time.
Hosting the holidays always puts me in a funk. I feel like my house isn't good enough, dealing with the IL's all in my house is exhausting, and it always ends up with DH and I in some sort of small fight.
I really want to move to something a bit bigger and that is better for entertaining. It makes me so mad that my MIL has her kids and grandkids close and never hosts anything. I just get so depressed b/c I'm reminded of my maternal grandparents and everything they were involved in. It's also so weird to be in a room and my parents will interact with E, play with her, etc and the IL's just sit and sort of stare at her.
DH told me he wished we could move away. I've never heard him say that. He's always felt guilty for all the years he did live away. He said he hates how they treat E and that they aren't good grandparents.
GAH, the damn holidays. Making me feel all the feelings.
"I's" is never correct. "The family is coming to Bryan and I's house" No. Ugh.
Wary =/= Weary
Man, those bother me. Glad I got that off my chest.
I's? That's awful. My sister now says 'him and I' and it makes me cringe. Since that's not something she used to do I always wonder what horrible habits I've developed without knowing.
I would like to state for the record that I love Costco. I went there today to order a cake for DS2's birthday. His birthday is on Friday, and instead of having my usual low key family party, I am bringing a cake to Thanksgiving dinner.
Why did I feel like I was ordering a cake in communist Russia? Only one size (half sheet) and either white or chocolate. And I had to choose one of the dozen decoration themes (flowers, balloons, etc.).
I didn't end up ordering one and instead went to Publix.
Can you guys just stop hosting? The holidays are supposed to be happy and you're supposed to be making good memories with your kid, not feeling crappt because your ILs suck.
If we don't host someone will end up alone. Last year MIL hosted, but FIL refused to come to her house even though they get along post divorce.
We probably do need to scale back, but it's hard bc other family rarely steps up.
Mashara I just wanted to give you (((hugs)) losing a pet is horrible. Give yourself some time and eventually you'll be able to get another furry friend. (heart)
