Can we have a vent post?

Maybe you should let them fire you and then sue. A girl can dream right? Hang in there! You'll be on leave soon!

[raangoli]

That does sound like an awful day and a half. I hope you feel better, soon!

My vent/complaint is that I splashed vinaigrette on my wool suit skirt. I really hope the cleaners can get it out. It's a light grey. And a decent size stain unfortunately. I also got some on my cardigan. Sucks to be me I guess.

ugh thats a craptastic day, sorry

My vent is that my grandma thinks it is a great idea to have off white carpet. In the KITCHEN. So naturally, when I was cooking there I spilled chili infused olive oil on the carpet. You have no idea how long it took me to clean it up.

So yeah. Never put carpet in a kitchen.

Sorry you're having a shitty day. Your boss is an asshole.

My vent is that H has a stomach bug, and he's being a pain in the ass. "Can you go to the store and get me some Gatorade? Can you bring me some soup?" All while I'm trying to finish up my dissertation and get the eff out of here. I really am sorry that he is sick, but I don't have it in me to do everything for him right now.

I am beyond pissed off with the organizers for DH's work event last night.

For part of the event, they make a "grog", and attendees are highly encouraged to drink the grog, to the point of not being able to refuse without it being an issue.

For safety's sake, these events generally have the normal grog, which is chock-full of booze, and a non-alcoholic one that folks can opt for if they don't drink or are not drinking that night (like last night - DH was driving...).


Yeah. Some dumbass Colonel poured booze into the non-alcoholic grog. Thankfully, he didn't add much, and it was sufficiently diluted to not have much effect, but I'd love to smack this guy silly! It's incredibly dangerous, foolish, petty and again, _dangerous_!

Grr. Idiot!

I went to the Thunder/Lakers game last night. After the game, there was a shooting (if we wouldn't have waited a bit to leave, we probably would have been right there when it happened). I got to see police tackle a guy, police running around with riffles, and people that had been shot laying on the ground. The best part was how everyone was standing around just staring and taking videos with their phones. WTF people? Keep walking and just go home! It took over an hour just to get out of downtown even though we were not even a mile from the highway. Why do people have to act like fools and shoot people?

My vent: my car is due for a 60k oil change this weekend, so fine, I set that up. Then over this past weekend, its giving me trouble starting up. SIIIIIIIIIGH. Ossum. Just what we need.

THEN DH got a rock to the windshield this morning and he is pissed. He has safelite coming out tomorrow to try to 'repair'/fill it.

This weekend better be FULL of R+R.

Oh spitfire, that sucks. I've been home the past two days with a sinus infection and am about to leave for the doctor because I think I've now got an ear infection too. I couldn't imagine going to work feeling like I do right now and I get to take the good meds!

My vent is that I'm pretty sure DH thinks I'm pretending I'm sicker than I am. It's so annoying because I feel like shit and have to deal with him eyerolling when I complain about it.

[futurepivko]

My CWs need to learn what earphones are. There are 3 different people playing their ipods with 3 different songs all at one time. It's getting annoying.

[jackpackage]

We had our ducts cleaned today and they just left. We thought it was going to be about 3 hours, but it was almost 8 hours! I guess we got our money's worth, but I have stuff I wanted to do today and no motivation. I haven't even showered yet since they came at 7am and I had no where to go but outside with the dog. I thought they would just be in the basement the whole time, but there was someone working in every room all day.

I am so annoyed by my MIL. She has been such a gossip about the state of my uterus so h and I don't trust her to tell her anything. She was over the other night and I almost went off on her because she was undermining my parenting...of my dog. I don't know how I'm going to deal with her once the baby comes.

[ejpint]

We've been trying to have a concrete patio put in this spring. We started getting quotes in January, and finally nailed down an acceptable deal the first of March. We told the guy we wanted to have him come out right away. Long story short, he finally came out to get started on Saturday. More than two months later. Then he said he needed to come back Monday to finish up. He never came. Still no sign of him today. H called him to find out what the hell's going on - he says, "Oh, I'll be there tomorrow". Duuuude, get your shit together.

I'm so sorry, LS. That sucks. I hate your job almost as much as I hate mine.

I'm in a surprisingly good mood, but my day didn't start off well. I did not sleep well because I was up until about 1am with excruciating lower abdominal pain. When it finally subsided, I was wide awake. When I finally got to sleep, Velociraptor decided his pillow wasn't good enough, so I only got about 1/4 of my pillow. Then I woke up to find cat puke on my flip flops.

My grandpa died this morning. While this is actually a blessing and I should be celebrating his 97.5 years of life, it still totally sucks. Plus I've never seen my dad cry before.

[womet]

Lib, I am so sorry for your loss.

TMI warning... I swear my ute is broken. I have had some kind of bleeding since March. (Yes, I realize that it's May now.) I've been taking metformin to help, but I've noticed no change in my cycles or weight. Boo. I'm about to go on vacation and would love to be able to enjoy the beach without worrying about my diva cup. I called the RE to see if I could get 1 month on the pill. I didn't hear back from her, so I called my nurse again today. Even though I was in there recently (and the ridiculous bleeding is a known issue), the RE wants to see my for an u/s and b/w first. I'm leaving on Friday, so that's not going to happen. Happy Diva Cup wearing vacation to me.

I'm sorry for your loss. No matter how long or full their life, it's still sad when they go.

[Pom]

So sorry for your loss LibGrl. ((hugs))

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the kind thoughts and words.

I am so sorry for your loss but 97.5 years is amazing!

[smiley]

littlespitfire-- I am sorry you are having such an awful couple of days! I hope it turns around soon and I hope you start to feel better.


I had a nightmare last night, and it replayed in my dreams like 3x making it even worse. I didn't even tell my DH about the events in my dream because I am not sure how to wrap my head around them. I can't name the people in my dream because I haven't seen them in years but they look so familiar (from my childhood in NY).
