Vent Thread: It's Monday, isn't that enough?

[rubytue]

Ugh! That would make me really cranky!

My vent is in a whole thread of its own (check clearing...). I don't really have another one right now, other than a couple people at work are annoying me, but too many specifics for that.

[Deleted]

It is graduation day at my university. Another graduation day that I am not part of. I thought I would be ok with it this year since I have a job lined up, but alas, I am depressed and irritated and feeling inadequate yet again.

Graduation is at fucking 7:30 am or some shit like that. If you want to park on campus, you have to get there by 7 am. I had a psychologist appointment at 8 am that I didn't think to reschedule, so I rolled onto campus at 9 am, just in time to see the parking attendant put up the "lot full" sign. At that point I was so irritated by all the intruders clogging up my campus that I just turned around and came home. And now I am GBCNing and wallowing.

Why the fuck is graduation on a Monday anyway?

[countthestars]

It's raining outside and cold inside.

H's estranged father has been reaching out to him lately and it makes me feel frustrated and helpless.

And why the fuck is at 7:30 a.m.? Sheesh - we had kvetching over our 4:30 p.m. Saturday ceremony!

My vent is I have to spend this afternoon "team building" with CWs. Okay, it was voluntary but it was in my best interest to volunteer to put on a good show for my College but - ugh. I've done this team building before with my former department and it blows (I don't know if there are any non-blowing team buildings out there). And the shit of it is, no team(s) will be built. No one wants to play nice and going thru this course in the woods isn't going to fix that.

I got stuck in the traffic for that. WTH has graduation at 8am?! It took me me an hour to get to work this morning. ARGH!

Zombie Hugs RBP!

And why don't they save some parking spaces for non-graduation visitors? Assholes.



Oh, and it's raining here, too. I hate getting wet. At least I have cute wellies. Shoes make bad things ok.

I'm not even a visitor! I have a parking pass for that very lot! But they open the gates to all comers on graduation day, never mind that some of us lowly students may still have some work to do.

I live two miles from campus. I could have just parked at home and walked, but I feel like wallowing. LOL

I called my mom yesterday (for Mother's Day) and was reminded why I don't call her very often.

DH's grandparents are getting senile and their newest thing is giving gifts to people and then forgetting and accusing the recipient of stealing. Of course the solution going forward is to refuse to accept stuff, but it kills me that my 3 year-old was accused of stealing a toy truck.

[chessie]

As much as I wanted a puppy, I guess I wasn't prepared to give up sleeping completely. At least prior was able to sleep until 5- Now I dont believe I will ever have any sleep for a few months..its making this day drag though.

[crazygame]

I am not motivated to work. I should not have asked a younger associate to handle a settlement conference today, because I could be sitting in the courthouse, billing hours with little effort, as my client doesn't really have a stake in the settlement and won't even be there.

[thatgirl2478]

My vent of the week is already it's own thread... stupid renters.

[raangoli]

I ran over a curb last week since I was lost (don't even ask how) getting to the off airport parking. When I came back from my trip, I realized thanks to my off-road adventure, there was some sort of cover hanging, broken under my car. Take it in this morning to find out that from the stupidity of missing my exit, getting lost and hopping the curb, I now have to pay close to $500 to get my "engine splash guard" replaced.

Getting lost is not MM.

[Brie]

I am annoyed that I have to save all my PTO for maternity leave. I want a freaking vacation. All my CWs are taking long weekends and/or traveling right now and I'm jealous.

(I COULD take vacation now, but I am trying to be MM and save it for later.)

[je55]

I have a one-on-one with my passive aggressive, bully of a boss today. I can't wait to be done with this bullshit. I have a new job lined up and am planning to give my notice next Monday (after I use up the last of my vacation time and then some towards the end of this week). Can't wait!!

Just realized that was kind of a bragplaint. Not my intention because my boss is such a jerk off that I could complain about him alllllll day!

[Mrs.Beagle]

I start my practicum in August. It's 15 hours/week on top of the 40 hours/week that I'm already working. I told them I absolutely need a placement that can be done on nights/weekends. They told me that's difficult.

The reason I chose this program is because they assured me that I could do a work-site placement (which they then told me I couldn't) and that it's accomodating for people who work FT. If I don't get an evening placement I'm going to flip out.

[vtdiamond]

It look me forever to fall asleep last night, went to bed at 10:30, still awake at 12, then woke up at 5:30, blah.
And, I spent almost an hour trying to add an avatar picture to my profile here and couldn't get it to work despite uploading the pic to numerous sites and sizing it appropriately. I give up!

[explorer2001]

I have new windows and a new sliding glass door installed this weekend. The installed messed up the door and broke away big chunks of my stucco by the windows. Now the company rep who is supposed to fix things just call to day he'll be half an hour late. Which will make me even later for work this morning, thankfully work doesn't care.

[futurepivko]

I can vent to the Monday thing.

It's been a year today since our dog died (he drowned), and I'm ready to move on and get another but H still isn't. I think it's because it was more of a tragedy and not a "oh he was sick" kind of thing.

[biogirl21]

I'm having a horrible day. I keep dropping shit and I'm rearranging a department today and I keep reading the book wrong and having to re-do the fucking thing. My co-workers aren't helping with push and it's really pissing me off.
Also, it's really humid in here and my hair is fluffy.

[theintended]

I'm sitting in a random hospital waiting room hoping this is where my parents are. I really wish my mother would learn how to use her cell phone. : /

You should definitely do this. If anyone mentions it, just say that maybe the chairs got mixed up when the night janitor was cleaning the floor or something.

What happened? Hope everything turns out ok.

I start a job today! I've been a SAHM since my son was born and am having a really hard time already! I am excited to go back to work and am sure I will be fine once I am there, but I am already sad. He is sleeping in this morning because he didn't get a lot of sleep over the weekend and I am sad to not be spending time with him right now.

[definitelyO]

I went to the dentist on Thursday and my mouth and teeth STILL hurt!!! and I swear my teeth weren't that bad...

[Deleted]

Sorry ShiseidoRed. That is sucky.

On my trip to Charleston (back in March), I wanted 2 cameras for the 10K (yeah, no fancy camera phone here). I ran with mom's since it was smaller and tossed my memory card in it. I gave my friend mine with my mom's memory card (the one that came with the camera that holds maybe 4 pics). The memory card my mom uses is full because she is stubborn and refuses to let me download the pictures to the PC. She just wants to take it to the store and print the pictures off there. Yeah, I know.

My mom wants to buy another memory card since she won't clear off the other.

I got an email from my dad yesterday saying he needs the memory card for mom's camera so mail it back. I told him he has both of them. The one I took only holds 3-4 pictures anyway and mom has always had the other one but it is full. My dad emailed back saying he was confused because it should hold hundreds of pictures. I had to send a very detailed email to dad explaining there are 2 memory cards with what each will hold and what I took and that he actually has both at the house. I still haven't heard back from him.

Sigh.

A new person started working at my firm maybe two weeks ago, and he's stationed right outside my office. The chair they gave him is RIDICULOUSLY creaky and, like a normal person, he moves around quite a bit. It kind of gives me headaches and makes it hard to concentrate.

I've thought about switching it out after he leaves the office one night. He's really nice but kind of timid so I don't want to mention it to him lest he think I hate him for it.

Just drop by his desk and say 'Wow, that's a pretty sad chair they gave you. There are more in the conference room if you want to trade up. People do it all the time.'

[theintended]

Thanks, RBP. Just a consultation before his surgery--hopefully the last step in the cancer treatment suckfest. I'm meeting them for moral support and to take them out for lunch-- if I ever find them!

[theintended]

Also, thanks for the old school zombie hug. Made me laugh : )

It might be bugging him too.

I was training an employee and it took months before he finally came to tell me his chair was broken. I felt so bad for him but he didn't want to be a trouble maker.
