Late night vents?

[80sjunkie]

My first day of class is on Wednesday, so in two days. I just received an email from a student asking me to change the day/time of said class (its a seminar so its a small class). After my first nice email explaining that other students schedules would then conflict, this student continued to push me on changing my time asking if I could teach at night. I never would have thought to ask a prof to change the day/time of class. I am juggling several schedules along with... MY OWN! There's a thought, the professor might have her own constraints and preferences. :@ :@ :@

OMG. Kids are so entitled!

You've seen my vent. LOL

[vanillacourage]

Omg. I weep for the future.

I am semi-watching "Gallery Girls" and lol-ing. True exchange:

"so, how's work?"
"ugh, it's like, so much work."
"omigod, I know!"

It inspired me to post mine. It's academic night on MM.

ETA: DH couldn't believe it so he read the email himself.

I'm PMSing hard and saw that my friend from college who met his gf 2 years after I met SO proposed to her over the weekend... I started crying immediately and feel like such an ass, because I should only be feeling happy for them and not pity-partying myself. I know why we're waiting, but it doesn't make me feel any better right now.

I tried to make microwave popcorn (just kernels + paper bag) at our beach house we're renting and burnt it twice. The first time I was on the phone but the second time it was still popping but was burnt. Now I'm hungry bc I gave up, I still want some damn popcorn and it smells in here bc I burnt popcorn twice (I immediately took it outside). Damn stupid microwave.

Since we are talking about what we are watching, we just watched Top Gun. Still shocked over Tony Scott.

hugs. I burst into tears when BIL proposes for the same reason. I felt like an ass too.

I'm staying in a fancy hotel but can hear when either of my neighbors flushes and it's really loud.

WTF. That is crazy.

I feel emotionally done with pregnancy. Intellectually I know I need to keep going for a good bit longer but this reflux and constant movement in my stomach is driving me crazy. OTOH I'm also not ready to be a parent so...

I absolutely lived being pg even though I was on bedrest for 6w. We are one and done so I don't get to feel everything again. I wish I could surrogate or something. I have horrid baby fever now though and even though I am 100% on our decision I am aching for another one. Six fb friends had babies this week and I have several more due and my sister is due in Nov. unfortunately only one of those is someone I am close to and lives close enough that I will be able to 'mooch' off of.

Mine is pretty lame...I'm out of beer and I don't want to walk the couples block to the liquor store. I really wish I had a car because driving would be much easier.

Instead, I'm ordering pizza (don't want to grocery shop) and drinking the half bottle of wine I have left.

So really I'm just annoyed I don't have a fucking car. And may have to wait another month. Ugh!! I want beer!!!!

Do people have to follow leash laws on their own property?

I was just walking my dogs and not that far from our return home there was a guy with 2 big dogs out in the front yard without them on leashes. I purposely walk my dogs after dark because one of them can't handle other dogs and will bark if he sees them. I was afraid to keep walking that way because I figured if my dog barked, the 2 dogs off leash would take off toward my dog and the owner would be unable to stop them. Unless they are just exceptionally good dogs, I guess. I didn't want to risk it so we turned around and walked the way we came - so the walk was almost 2x as long as I'd intended.

I know it isn't their fault that my dog is an asshole, but I don't think dogs should ever be off leash in a neighborhood unless there is a fence involved. And I know for a fact these people have a fenced in yard so IDK why they need to play out front.

I could have written this completely word for word! It would make ZERO sense for us to get engaged right now, but dammit sometimes I'm bitter. You are not alone. ({)

My vent is I have the WEIRDEST song stuck in my head. "If Ever I Would Leave You" from the musical Camelot, as sung by legendary cheesy crooner Robert Goulet. It just keeps playing in my head over. And over. And over.

Hopefully if I can put it in someone else's head, it will leave me alone!

I sold about 50 books at half price books today.

I got $15, dayam.

I spent $25 on about 6 books for G. Corduroy, peter rabbit, frog and toad, some other classics.

I saw a dude get hit by a car tonight. It was fucked up. He's not dead and doesn't have life threatening injuries but his head went into the windshield.

Holy hell, that's terrifying.

I have a migraine and my mouth is throbbing in pain from my dentist appointment earlier and I've taken everything we have to try and help one of them and nothing is touching it. On top of it my son is screaming and keeps hitting me in the face and making my mouth hurt more. I finally had to put him in his crib screaming because I'm in so much pain. I know he just wants me to play with him but I just don't have the energy to do that right now.

I love Corduroy!! That was one of my favorites when I was a kid. I found a Corduroy video at the library that DD loved and wanted to watch over and over.

I am sick. I have been hacking, coughing up green stuff achy and chilled for two days now and it sucks. Luckily Dr tomorrow. Being achy all the time is the most annoying though.

Now THAT'S balls. Damn. Oh yes...just rearrange your whole life for that one student. Sheesh.

I got an email last week from a student where she first lied about me calling her name in class that morning (not possible), and then a second email where she outed herself in the lie and said she needed me to let her into my section so she wouldn't have to take a harder section of another class.

Um. Ok. Let me get right on that for you.

I'm really tired of my boobs. They need to pick a size and stay that size. I went from a C to a G in a 2-3 months. Now they are shrinking. My G bras are a little too big. F's are too small. I can't keep buying $50 bras every 2 months.

I just got my auto insurance renewal in the mail. The premium increased 33%. I haven't had any tickets, accidents, or claims. The only thing that's changed is that the cars and the people are all one year older. WTF? That is not cool....

I wish boobs wouldn't fluctuate either. I went from a F to a FF to a GG and now I'm an H. I'm tired of buying bras.

I have all sorts of family drama. My grandma is dying of cancer and I've been trying to spend time with her. My grandpa on the other side of my family hit his head a couple of weeks ago and has been in the hospital. He was a racist asshole before getting injured and I cut him out of my life a long time ago. My dad is all pissy because I have been spending my time with the grandma on my mom's side.
