Insert random grievances here.

Goddammit. I decided to shop on modcloth which is like a fucking PROJECT. I finally have my cart together, the rest of the damn house is nestled all snug in their beds, but I in my kerchief can't get goddamn modcloth to recognize any of my damn credit cards. The web help lady is all awkwardly like "ohhhhh eeeesh, so you're poor and they must have canceled your card because it's all roses on our end! Is there anyrhing else I can help you with today?" NO STEPHANIE (that was f'real her name) THERE IS NOTHING ELSE. So I grab my phone to call stupid chase to stupid verify, just in case there was a fraud hold on both of my cards at the exact same time despite my just having used one earlier. But the customer service line isn't even ringining, let alone being answered. So I look up a different number, and that won't ring either. So then I try calling my office just to test (since No One I Know Would Call At This Hour), and it doesn't ring. Except then I notice that all of these calls are connecting to like... something... the ISS? I don't fucking know. But they all have call times of a few seconds, not call failed or whatever. WHO DID I PISS OFF? IS THE NSA BLACKBALLING ME? IS THIS BECAUSE I MADE A HAMILTON JOKE EARLIER?? Omg. I just want to order some shit I'll probably end up returning anyway and go the fuck to sleep.

Why does my sound bar start going haywire only when I want to watch HBO Go?

The IV that was supposed to be more comfortable and fix my arm motion issues ended up messing my arm up. Now, when I get discharged, I am going to look like I have track marks everywhere.

H interviewed for a job he REALLY wants 4 weeks ago. It went awesome. He feels really confident he is the strongest candidate (internalish job so everyone knows everyone) etc etc. He has still not heard back if he is the candidate. It has been 3 weeks sine the last person interviewed. They said yesterday no news continues to be no news.

WTFFFFFFFF- We have always worked in higher ed at state institutions. We know searches take a long time. This is just insanity though. And so of course at this point he thinks he isn't the candidate. It is a total mind fuck.

I feel like between applying, interviewing and now waiting we have been waiting around since fucking April to see if this job is going to work out.

Dude. That sucks I'm sorry. Have they called his references/spoken to his current boss? Anything?

The waiting blows. Hopefully he will hear something soon

Elsa, I thought of you this morning. Are your mornings going any better these days?

I finally broke down and bought idealshape but haven't gotten to the store to buy fruit, almond milk, etc. to make the smoothies so it is wasting away on my kitchen counter. I am so not happy with myself.

This is FWP right here.

I ordered tickets in March for a concert that is next week (7/20) through livenation.com. I still have not received the tickets. First it was 'we need to verify that you are real' or some shit. Then it I was told they did a 'delayed delivery' for the event. I called Monday 'oh you should have received them on 7/11. Nope. I did not. On 7/12 I received an email that they are printed and ready for shipment. SEND THEM OUT ALREADY FUCKERS.

I get that they want to make sure that I am a real person so that, I assume, I am not going to turn around and sell the tickets but my goodness this is frustrating. I am not a person who can patiently sit and wait especially when the event is NEXT Wednesday. I am not all breezy 'oh they will get here in time'. I am going to call to have them at Will Call if I don't get them by Friday.

Yes, but I am pretty sure they referenced checked all candidates. He also emailed the person who is in charge of the hire and she continues to say no news is no news. Last week she said the HR part was taking longer than expected and they were not at point of making an offer.

H has a theory that they are trying to do two hires. They lost a position a couple years ago and he thinks they are pushing to rehire for that position. It really is the only thing that makes sense at this point, so probably isn't true.

DD hurt her finger yesterday at camp. I thought it was NBD, but when I removed the bandaid for cleaning last night, it was no bueno under there. Went to urgent care and the doc bandaged her up. But we're leaving tomorrow for a family beach vacation. DD can't be in the water for 2 weeks. UGH. I can't be mad at the situation and we live near the beach, so it's not like our lives are forever ruined. I just really wanted to veg on the boat and go swimming all weekend.

Surprise, surprise, Target's new website has ANOTHER glitch.

I ordered diapers the other day and got an email today they were delivered. To an address in FL that I had added FOUR years ago and had 1 thing sent back then. My friend doesn't even live there anymore!

Why the fuck would that have been my default address?

They sent me a refund but then I tried to order the diapers again and thankfully looked at the default address this time and it was going to my SIL's old house. Get your shit together Target.

I really wish I could quit them, but what's my alternative? Walmart

I'm trying to shop the Nordstrom sale and the website is experiencing heavy traffic and won't load. Rude.

I'm annoyed with my day care provider. She is BEC with me and so every annoyance is overblown in my mind. In June, DS's last day of school was Tuesday. So he had before/after school care on two days and the rest of the week was full daycare, which of course costs more. But we didn't send him on the full days. We are responsible for paying whether he is there or not, and I don't have an issue with that, so we paid for the full week. Now she's after me because I paid for a full week of before and after school care, not full day care, and she wants the difference. The monetary difference is small. I just don't like her.

Out of the goodness of my kind and beautiful heart I took all the night feedings last night- allowing H to sleep NINE glorious hours. When he woke up I asked him how he slept. He said "OK, she was pretty fidgety last night."

I just noticed I have a zit right in my nostril, and it hurts like a bitch.

This is doubly upsetting because I ONLY get acne when I'm about to get my period. I'm 4 months pp and EBF. I don't wannnnaaaaa get my period back. Waaah!

[fluffernutter]

I am sick of being sick. The only choices I can make in regard to my health are unpleasant or REALLY unpleasant. This sucks.

I think I'm coming down with a head cold. I don't have time for this right now.

Yes! Dd has slept in the swing the past two nights- it's wider than the RnP and I guess more comfortable with her harness bc it allows her legs/hips to spread a bit.
Last night she slept 11-330, and I really couldn't wake her up to eat. Then she slept 345-630. I think if I hadn't been so fast to respond to her stirring at 330 she might have slept thru. But the swing appears to be magic

Thanks for asking!

My baby boy Archer turned 1 today. This is not acceptable.

[blondemoment123]

I'm waiting (very impatiently) for news on 2 huge life changing events. I don't do well with "hurry up and wait".

[Deleted]

For whatever weird reason, my mil is obsessed with making sure kids take their diapers off outside. Idk. She thinks they need to air out or something.

Anyway. She was over today and took Ilya's diaper off. He came inside and shit on my clean floor. Stop it!
