Something must be in the water today, or maybe it's just asshole day.
First, I like to think I'm a pretty generous person. I donated to several families for Christmas this year. One being my deceased cousin's best friend, I knew she was hard up for Christmas. Her daughter likes dinosaurs, so I bought her 3. I had casually asked her in conversation if she liked to do nails and stuff. She said she did. So comes the time to give her the gifts, she made it a huge hassle for me. She asked me to drive all the way to her area instead of meeting me. So I do it, go to a gas station 20 min away and she blows me off. Then when she said she'd come get them from me, she still asked me to meet! I put that baby NO to bed right then. She actually texted me and said "dinos and nail stuff right?" Seriously? You are going to verify what I got instead of just being grateful and picking it up? Then I felt obligated and took a nail kit for my niece and included it, which I replaced later that day. Okay, so same girl. Sees my facebook post last night about trying to get healthy and purging my cupboards and fridge of junk food. I get FOUR texts this morning at 6 am asking if I had thrown the food away and if she could have it. It's kind of sad, but the fact that she texted me that early just makes me rage. Plus, she has NO shame for asking for shit. She posted on FB asking to come bring 5 loads of wet laundry to anyone willing's house to use their dryer. She's asked for people to bring her eggs and milk. Wtf.
Next, a 'friend' from work was venting to me about her sister in law this morning, and how she won't get daycare vouchers for her kids. She told me she says she can afford it herself, and she's a moron. Saying how she's not married and she would be eligible, but she's one of those "dumbass proud people". Then she asks me the extremely personal question of do I get food stamps. I tell her no, and she starts ranting about how much money I'm wasting when I could get most of my food for free. I'm not married so I should be taking advantage of it. All I could do was slow blink.
Last, an old friend (we barely speak anymore, but we used to be close) posted about how she does not understand women who throw $100+ down on Michael Kors bags, said they are not even special and basically why would you do it. I commented, saying I'm not into MK but I have bought other bags that are expensive that I genuinely like. So she starts commenting about how she's a single mom so she would buy her son anything but doesn't want to spend that kind of money on herself. So I said well Alex (my son) is beyond spoiled so it's nice to treat myself sometimes, but I also ebay a lot because I'm cheap lol. So then she says (her bf had passed away 6 years ago) "The difference between us is you are fortunate enough to have your sons father and his fathers family to help out as much as possible... me not so much. I have my family which I'm forever grateful for but thats the extent of the help I get". #1 It seems like she is jealous because she can not buy these things and wants to make me feel guilty. #2 We get NO help from FI's family OR mine. We work and pay for the shit we need and want ourselves.
OH and my supervisor told me today if I take off Monday they will cut my 2 week notice short. Yet they wont work with me and let me have like 2.5 - 3 hours off to go get my physical done, even though I told them I would work over same day or any other day to make it up.
