Urg! I am so mad at my self right now. At work because I am considered casual, we submit what we are available to work. We submit on the 15th of a month for the next month. So this way we can take as much time/little time off as wanted. (It just affects how much you work)
Anyways for Dec I submitted all the shifts I didn't want to work, instead of submitting all the shifts I wanted to work. So not only did I not get enough shifts, I got 3 I normally get 12-15, every shift I got was for when I didn't want to work! I'm so mad at myself in shaking! After doing this same thing for 5 1/2 years you would think that I wouldn't mess up this badly! Fuck fuck fuck
HoneySpider- the shifts I got are not good ones to switch out of, christmas Eve and such, but I'm going to try. But I can probably pick up 4-5 shifts at least it's just a pain and not guaranteed.

Oh no that sucks awick14 I hope you're able to switch some!
We got a random check from our insurance company for an apparent overpayment. And a letter from our mortgage company saying we didn't have insurance. H sorted it out but wtf? These companies need to get it together! At least the refund is legit so yay random money!

That is so strange, I'm an insurance agent And we just had a very similar situation like this at work yesterday. We fixed it. How bizarre that it happened that close to your situation.
I'm in a pretty good mood today. I'm super excited about the door chimes that I bought. My little one is SN and sometimes she will play in the bathroom. Example: elbow deep in the toilet with rubber ducks . Or her new favorite past time is plugging the sink up and overflowing it with water so bad that it rains in my dinning room down stairs. That has happened like 3 time since we have lived here. We couldn't really install a lock because of how the door sat in the frame. So I got my self a very loud chime/alarm. I will no longer have to turn the water shut offs off and on any time I'm in the bathroom. I also won't have to walk up and down the steps 5000 times to day to make sure She isn't playing on the bathroom.

A friend was looking last minute for someone to help her at a work event tomorrow...she said it was 8-12 and would be a paid gig. I offered to help, she told me thanks but she found someone, then she came back and said other person couldn't do it was I still available? Hours all of a sudden are 7:30-1(ish) now. I said yes, but flat out asked what the pay was (kind of awkward, but I need to know....I can't give up 7-8 hours (including travel time) to volunteer....and I've been burned on these types of things before. "Paid gig" ends up meaning something like "here's a freebie t-shirt!") Anyway, that was yesterday, I still haven't heard back from her. Um, kind of need to know if you need me tomorrow morning as I would need to be on a bus at 6:45am.
I assume she is backpeddling on the paid part and trying to find someone to do it for free. I kind of hope she just tells me she doesn't need me.
Tonight is cooking/baking night with my 7th-8th graders. I'm dreading it. Having to pack up all the ingredients, pans, knives, etc only to go cook in an old church kitchen with squealing, unhelpful girls. I need an attitude adjustment.
awick14 I am So so sorry. That is awful I really hope you can switch at least one bad one out.
estrellita the same thing happened to us!! We just got it sorted out on Monday after we were like, uh, we didn't cancel our policy. Wtf?
HoneySpider that's so awkward. Business is business. It's no big deal to tell you the amount and let you choose. I dont get people.

amaranth Yeah it's weird, I mean she said upfront it was paid but then didn't mention anything again....I mean, I'm doing this to help her out, but I'm also doing it to get paid. If she said it was unpaid I never would have offered. And I'm not looking for a certain amount, I just need to know.
HoneySpider Your friend is definitely being flakey!
I'm in Florida for work. As we were getting off the plane, they were loading a military casket onto the plane. Such a somber moment and a reminder of the sacrifices that men and women make for our country.

I'm feeling really burnt out in regard to the boards lately (not just WC, but GBCN in general) I just feel the conversations are really repetitive, I have nothing exciting to add, and overall it's just not that interesting. I think maybe I need some time away.
Thanx ladies. I know I will be able to work it out, but i can't get over how much I screwed this up. With all the coming bills this is going to put us further behind on our debt payments.
amaranth weird! Apparently it had something to do with the renter's policy we had at the apartment that got canceled. I think they accidentally made a duplicate policy or something. I should also mention the mortgage company also sent us payment coupons with the wrong amount. Unfortunately they were wrong and we still have to pay the higher amount, lol. Ugh. I hope this is the end of the issues!

I know what you mean. I have been checking in and posting a lot less in general. It's been good because I'm keeping up the friendships but reading more books during the day and don't feel like I'm missing much. I think there comes a point where all the topics re surface and short of people constantly bitching about FWPs and life it's hard to always be relevant.

Yeah I definitely find myself checking the boards less, and when I do I'm not necessarily posting much. And I don't feel like I'm missing much.

awick14- I hope you can switch some shifts and add some that you want. Prayers that it works out money-wise in the end and you don't get behind on your financial goals. ((hugs))
amaranth- Hope your cooking/baking goes well tonight. That has to be exhausting so I can imagine feeling/thinking the same thoughts.
Add me to the "not posting/don't have much to say these days" club. I feel like life is pretty mundane and boring right now being in limbo with moving. Also, so much of my life has to do with C and there's really not much to talk about (and this isn't the board either). And since all the crap with my mom I have been pretty negative. I really need to have more balance going on in life and get an attitude adjustment! I know running would help but I really don't have the energy or desire to do it consistently...maybe once I feel better we'll get into a routine. I have a feeling once we move I will love running again...being back in the city I grew up in and ran a ton of miles training for track and XC.

Speaking of my mom...I sent out C's bday invite (evite) today. I didn't invite her. Between that and having to mail her her keys (home and car) this week I had a moment of feeling really sad. I know not inviting her is the right thing for so many reasons (she's made it clear she wants nothing to do with us, I don't have to feel the rejection when she declines, and it doesn't open the door for more confrontation from her) but I think it's finally starting to hit how hard all of this is. I really don't think our relationship can be repaired at this point (maybe after a lot of time has passed and we aren't hurting so badly)...it just sucks with the holidays and C's birthday because I never envisioned her not being a part of all of this (not to mention just every day/weekly life that she's missing out on).
We just found out that one of H's friends is in the hospital right now, and they are doing a battery of tests because they suspect lymphoma. He has 3 kids. T&P are appreciated.

This basically sums me up too. I love seeing what's going on and post when I can but I don't have anything interesting to post about even when I do have time...

Hoping for the best for your friend @moonbeam!
I kinda agree with everyone else about not posting much. I guess I feel like I bore everyone with my complaints instead of getting the help I probably need and everything is pretty much the same every day.
However I did just walk on the treadmill for a while and I'm sitting in the meditation room at work with the happy light on so hopefully that will make me feel a little better lol.

You know, I think part of the problem is that so many of us are FB friends now that we don't feel like posting redundant stuff here is worth it anymore, lol. Like if I just posted something on FB, enough of you see it that it doesn't make sense to post it here too, you know?
I was able to already switch the shifts I wanted to get rid of. so now I have 3 shifts on better days for me! Now I just need to wait to pick up shifts. (They will mostly be last minute shifts which sucks.)
