it's only 8 AM and today can piss off

[irene adler]

You know what's one of my favorite days of the year? Breakfast burrito with the president day.

Those assholes changed the date and sent out the email last night for an event that begins before work hours (which, with union rules being what they are, makes a perfectly reasonable for me not to have checked my email between 5 PM and 7:30 AM)

I am hungry, on the opposite end of campus, and annoyed that I have a Full workload and took time out of my day for this for nothing.

Messing with Breakfast Burrito day is not cool.

[mbcdefg]

WUT. No. You don't mess with burrito day.

Sorry.

You remind me of Pretzel Day Stanley.




Our new CEO eliminated our monthly Bagel Day a while back and I'm still sore about it. And I don't even particularly like bagels.

mbcdefg, Exactly. Although I greatly prefer breakfast burritos to pretzels.

Judging by the long line at the food truck (which, to be fair, also has delicious breakfast burritos), I am not the only one who missed it. If work was a more pleasant place to be right now, this would be a non issue. So bonus points for a frustration outlet so I can move forward on projects today?

Time to dive into the manic.

lol, the job that treated me like utter shit would hire a Mister Softee ice cream truck to visit every Friday. Because a soft-serve cone really made it OK for you to scream at me, Ms. Manager

Me too. I've been trying to psyche myself up for another two hour drive with two four year olds. I am tired of traveling all over with the kids for people who can't make plans. I'm not doing this for fun and I gave you people five months notice. Why can't you make and stick to plans?

Can we use this thread to vent?

The past week or more has been really crap. We have have our entire hvac system replaced (we knew this would happen eventually, but it still sucks), my MIL is in the hospital with some post-op complications, a very good friend has a lot on her plate and my heart is hurting for her. I know things can be a lot worse, but I am feeling very overwhelmed. This too shall pass, but man right now it feels heavy.

I'm sorry raangoli. These things certainly aren't minor. Hugs to you and yours.

[konapoppy]

I would be so annoyed irene adler!
Hugs raangoli. Hang in there. I will think good thoughts for your MIL.

[raangoli]

Thank you mbcdefg and konapoppy. MIL looks like she will get to go home today, so that's some good news at least!
