I’m sorry you don’t like the location of your vaccine. I’m sorry you like the location of my vaccine better. I have been staying up late and getting up early for 10 days to get this this thing scheduled, only to have it canceled an hour after I scheduled it. So I got another one and you’re whining that yours is too far away. So.... you get up early, and you get on to the pharmacy site, and YOU SCHEDULE IT. I’m not your admin. You’re an adult. Do it yourself.
Girl Friday
Also Dear DH -
You promised you’d adjust the timing of the sprinklers to NOT go off when I first have to bring the dog out. You didn’t. And you went out of town. So by 615 the dog and I are soaked from several trips out to poop. He gets hit with a sprinkler stream, freaks out, and jumps on me. Rinse and repeat. Looking forward to you dealing with that tomorrow.

Dear body -
So... if we increase calories to a normal 1550-1600, while working out and getting 14,000 steps a day, we gain 2lbs? Coooool cool cool. Seems sustainable. Aces.
The management.

Dear DD2 - Yay to the negative COVID test! Sorry you have to keep zoom schooling with me for the rest of the week, but I think we can get to soccer this weekend! so... YAY!!!
Dear self, Hell yes! You're on a roll! 11 days straight of exercise, hitting your water goal, eating healthier, and making time to read a book for fun. Proud of you for sticking with it, even when you have a "Eh, I don't feel like it" moment. Don't you feel good? Signed, Go Team Us!
Dear mae0111 DH, Find your own appointment! Your state's appointment system is a hot mess. Beau had to drive all the way into the middle of the city twice to get his shots. The state isn't that big, I'm sure whatever appointment your wife got you is good enough! Signed, Twinmomma
twinmomma, yes, that's what DH has to do. On Saturday morning, before anything opens... so it really should be fine. I even offered to go with him to live park, but he said no. My sister did the same thing in the middle of the week and she said it was easy - well run, efficient, no soreness or issues after the shot (which, from my flu shot experience, can happen when you have pharmacists giving injections, vs nurses who do it every day).
I'm going to a pharmacy. So... I might be sore, but I only have to go one town over.
I told him if he doesn't like his appointment, he is welcome to book another one. Funny, I don't think he will.
Omg. So the dude who propositioned me via LinkedIn. First, I finally got the nerve to read it. It wasn’t horrific. If we were both single, it actually was pretty awesome. But we aren’t single, so it’s still awful. In it, he said we never had to speak of it again if I didn’t want to. So, I didn’t answer. Yesterday he messaged that he assumed that meant it was unwelcome. Then he said we could travel around Europe and Asia together. (He travels internationally for fun a lot, always first class. We’ve talked a lot about his trips.) Then he texted his phone number and asked me to call. Um, no. So I just replied that I have a husband and two small kids and a pretty great life I’m not willing to risk. He’s a great person, but it’s not happening. And HE KEPT MESSAGING ME. Now more of the “woe is me if only we had met at a different time, blah blah blah.” But I think he gets that the no is a hard no. A “not just no but hell no” kind of no.
mommyatty , is there a block option on Linked in? Also, you probably are a femme fatal LOL.
Dear Management,
No I am not going to watch 2 sexual harassment training seminars to see if it is better than last year when I only need to watch one. Like why is this a question?
Signed- too many webinars and it doesn't take 3 people to make that determination
Dear Friend's husband,
I can't say anything, so I won't but if you are freaking out this much because you have to move and are having a baby then it isn't going to go well for you. I can tell you can't handle stress well. I've been trying to help, and no one wants help, so there is nothing I can do but watch you implode which isn't fun. Please consider getting sober. It's becoming for clear to me that you are using these substances to deal with stress, and that it isn't working because having a baby adds more stress.
Signed- Friend
Dear dad,
Please stop asking me to a plan a vacation. You didn't like my weekend idea, and that is all I feel like doing so deal with it, and stop thinking that asking me 500 times is going to change my mind.
Signed- after 3 days relatives smell like fish or something like that saying
Dear DH-
I do really love you, I do, but you drive me crazy, and I am sure I do too. Has anyone met anyone who was always extra about everything? That is DH. Like not extra in a Karen way. Extra in a let me change the topic back to my job, or lightbulbs, or cars, or my stream of consciousness on these 3 topics and only these 3 topics. Lightbulbs, who knew? Although apparently, my marriage is way better than most in my mom's group. They were struggling anyway, but I think the pandemic has caused 3 divorces in a year. That sounds insensitive, but it is hard to know how your marriage is doing compared to others if no one talks about their marriage.
Dear Mrs D Zoom Class Not having you this week has been amazing. The office is slower than I anticipated so DD could log in but she is so much happier skipping zooms doing your assigned work along with the extra work I have asked her to do so she is still doing school for 3 hours a day. She made the comment that she has learned more this week than she has all of tax season. Mom who is really contemplating pulling her from zooms more often
WPs I'm the mom who is 100% we go to school, we don't skip classes, we only stay home when we are sick and that means a sick day in bed, and I try my hardest to not schedule appointments that interrupt school days. So me saying DD should skip zooms and learn on her own is huge Feeling weird about my feelings
I had my ear surgery Monday. Holy moly my ear is in so much pain. I've never been one for narcotics, like even after my C-section I only had one at night for a few days.
I have been taking meds every six hours to the minute. And I have to do this again in a year.
my ear infection was actually a cyst. The cyst had eroded my hammer bone so they placed a prothesis. Have to go back in next year to make sure it isn't regrowing.

Dear co-worker, I guess you didn't read the client's email because she said she reached out to the branch you suggested 2 days ago and they still haven't gotten back to her. This is a time sensitive issue she's having problems with and your response was not helpful. Signed, I'd rather be busier than to share covering our coworker's emails with you
Dear ex-H, I can't wait to be divorced from you. Figuring out taxes with you is still aggravating. Signed, At least we're separated
Dear beau, Did you accidentally agree to a dog and not realize it? I'm guessing you gave an "uh huh, sure" answer without listening fully. Because your son is 100% convinced we're getting him a dog when he's in second grade. And he's providing us daily updates on how many days are left in first grade as a countdown to dog time. The girls are now in on this countdown as well. I think you need to have a clear discussion with the kids... Signed, Only 44 days left

Dear work,
Training is all good and all but I am getting burnt out on the OT necessary to fit in my commitments around all the training. After this week I am sticking to 40 hours for the next month.
I ordered a piece of cardio equipment in December for delivery in late Jan. After several check-ins and lot of runaround, including promising me 3 other pieces of equipment and not delivering on any of them, I demanded a refund. You agreed, and told me it would take 10-14 days. On day 15 with no money received, I filed a fraud alert with my credit card company, explaining that I was charged several thousand dollars for equipment that I didn't receive. They told me it would take up to a month to investigate. They closed the investigation within a day.
So imagine my surprise when you called me yesterday, totally confused as to why I filed a fraudulent charge. IT'S BECAUSE THIS WAS FRAUD. You charged me for a good, and you didn't provide that good, not did you refund my money. Why are you confused, and acting like I hurt your feelings with this filing and all of my negative reviews? We are not friends. You lied to me repeatedly and tried to steal from me. You guys have done this to countless other people under various company names, which I was able to determine when you CC'd your CEO on my refund email.
I'm not sure what you were trying to accomplish by talking to me, but all you did was get us both upset. But at least I got my money back.

Dear SIL, Your comments about parents needing to take time off work to help at the school have not been well received by a couple of my friends and myself. You should try being nicer. You might get more help that way. Signed, I can't believe you said what you said being a working mother yourself
Dear new client that's already canceling, I'm really pissed that you're leaving. You've been a pain in the ass for the last 2 months so it will be fine in the long run so I'm going to focus on that instead of the lost commission. Signed, please don't call me again
erinshelley21, I had one of those comments. Oh you can't e-learn your kids while working full time? No, can't do that. Then they acted surprised. Eyeroll.

waverly her comments were about an end of school celebration. I'm still shocked that as a working parent herself she even made the comment. At the very least she should have acknowledged the other working parents that repeatedly use time off to help. She said it to the entire school PTO. I'm just glad I wasn't the only one that was irritated since she's my SIL and has been pissing me every few months for the last 3ish years.
erinshelley21 , I had one of those comments. Oh you can't e-learn your kids while working full time? No, can't do that. Then they acted surprised. Eyeroll.
My kids have been back to school in person all year. DD2 has been home this week due to a COVID exposure, and I'll tell you what... I've accomplished NOTHING. It's been a mess, and she's done relatively well with everything. But she can't find this, and didn't hear that, and now it's breaktime, and my class is at gym so we need to go outside and play soccer... And then in the afternoon/evening, she's got a ton of pent-up energy, but can't play with the neighborhood kids or go to soccer due to quarantine. So... honestly, nothing accomplished. NOTHING.
erinshelley21, I am sure working parents have taken loads of time off in the last year due to the pandemic. Most are probably not thinking of end of the year stuff. If they are like me they are thinking I did my part already!
mae0111 my Dh was like that, had been carrying on for months about getting a shot. So I spent a Sunday getting him an appointment first day available. First some reason, they automatically scheduled the 2nd 50 minutes away. He griped and complained. Thankfully my office had plenty of vaccine by the 2nd shot. So I just took him in there.
Dear DD
YAY to getting braces off today!! You look beautiful! Grilling burgers tonight so you can bite into a big burger and not get it stuck in your braces.

waverly exactly. Our lives have been fairly normal school and work wise for for entire year, but I feel like I'm still playing catch up from last March. Not to mention the fact that I was sick off and on for basically the entire 2 months before. I can't maintain a job to pay for the damn school and be at school to help at the same time. Which is precisely why we are going one more year and saying see ya!
