[ct]

Give us your top rant and top rave for today

[ct]

Rant: The weather report keeps changing for the adoption party. Yesterday: beautiful, Today: cloudy with chance of rain. gah!

Rave: Sprout rocked his swim lesson yesterday and we had a nice time doing his summer workbook together last night.

Rant: I am about to roll off the project I am on. I am transferring any remaining work to the real employees. (I'm a contractor). I gave something to one yesterday to do for himself so he could learn. It literally was like a 10 min thing. He spent more time bitching about doing it than it would have taken to JUST DO IT! I'm LEAVING THE PROJECT you numbskull!!

Rave: I'm rolling off my project and taking the whole month of July off!! I have little fun trips planned each week. Oh and a fantastic pool party/fireworks party at our place on July 4th! (It's great living in the country on a lake where we can actually set off awesome fireworks!!!)

Rant: one of my coworker left yesterday and the boss never did a transition plan with him. I suppose he thinks it is all just going to happen.

Rave: Jelly Bean keeps asking for all of the friends she met this past weekend :-)

[Deleted]

Rant: Alila and Izzie have been ungrateful, tattling brats during this trip.

Rave: Ava ate really well yesterday!

Rant: My program is massively expanding the office I used to work in. This means I'm going to get more ignored and am crazy jealous that they wouldn't let me move back without taking a big demotion.

Rave: I actually got thanked today for the first time for the massive amount of work I've done and crap I've taken to make my new office run. A little thank you goes a long way sometimes.

Sidenote: I'm listening to two workers who don't really speak Spanish try to run a family meeting in Spanish...I don't speak it, and even I can tell it's awkward.

Rant: ohdeargod, this sleep regression/dev milestone is going to kill me. N HAS to stand. ALLTHETIME. He can't sleep. HEMUSTSTAND. I caved and bought him a playyard (read: many, many attached gates). We bought so many, they take up his whole playroom so I don't feel to bad about containing him and now he can stand/cruise to his hearts content. He has been walking along it all day, screaming. Is it too early for a beer?

Rave: I can't believe how much he is doing. He is saying mama, pffff, oooo, standing, cruising, showing preference for things.. he is absolutely blowing my mind. He looks like he's strung out on caffeine (sleepless and standing and vibrating from all the things he can/must do), but cute so it's not so bad..

[quinny]

Rant: I just realized he is screaming because he hates the gates. He is screaming, longingly at his toys. Take play yard down = happy baby. Awesome. Mom fail.

Rave: this morning N was crying, crabby and over tired and I put my hands out and he crawled across the bed and into my arms to be hugged. Swoon.

Rant: We are one and a half weeks out to the local Pride festival, which my workplace coordinates. Things are crazy hectic at work which means it's not a good time to really do the transition with the person who will be taking my job when I leave in 3 weeks. I feel like so much is up in the air and it is going to get worse before it gets better.

Rave: I am going to have almost an entire month off to visit family when I move back to MA this summer! Also, both my bosses (different jobs but they know each other) apparently had a long conversation the other day about how much they are going to miss me when I move/that I am irreplaceable. It feels nice to be appreciated.

Rant: I am so sick of my work computer I am ready to throw the piece of shit out the window. They were supposed to replace it TWO YEARS AGO. And it wasn't even new when I got it, it was one that someone else had already replaced; they gave it to me when my old hard drive died since I needed one immediately, as 90% of what I do is computer-based. They claim they're going to replace it soon. I'll believe that when I see it.

Rave: I took my measurements back in January about a month after I started on MFP to get a baseline, but hadn't gotten around to taking them again. Well, I did tonight: I've lost two inches off my waist and two off my hips. Hot damn!
