It's Not Friday

Thursdays suck.

Where is everyone anyway? How is it nearly 10 on the east coast?

Last night our client pulled something really shitty on us so even though I've been putting in a shit ton of hours and work and literally working through sickness, it was all basically for nothing. I really wanted to go home and drink all the wine but I couldn't because I'm still fucking sick and I can't mix alcohol with the medication unless I actually want to die/destroy my kidneys and liver forever.

Anyway so today it's basically all picking up the pieces and having to be a professional bitch to the right people so they can know just how frustrated we are at all the behind our back business that was happening. Tonight I'm going home and using some of my farmer's market produce to make Creamy Mushroom and Leek Chicken. The recipe sounds delicious!!

@labro that's awful of them! I can only imagine how pissed you are because Matt's had client situations that were similar - last minute changes that ruin a huge amount of work.
Hopefully you can kick this soon so you can have all the wine!!

So when it's stupid levels of hot, you really don't want to do anything. Luckily there was some cool air outside, so I flipped our window fan and our bedroom was much cooler.
I'll be glad for moving. Even if we get a heatwave before we decide to get central air, hardwood is better than carpet. You can legit feel the heat radiating through the floors. It's gross.

Tonight isn't much. I might try to get a couple boxes packed up.

This weekend is pretty low-key also. Since I'm off early on Friday, I'm meeting my mum at the mall to look at dresses. I saw one and hoping it looks as nice as online. Then we're seeing "Suicide Squad" Yayyy!!
Saturday is food truck rally and my mum said she may want something, so we'll see what they have.
Sunday is nothing. I think just packing and watching movies.


edit:
Another mall opened up a new wing today and I can't go yet
H&M Home, Zara Home, NYX, Simons, etc

@labro UGHHHHH so frustrated for you. They totally suck! I wish you could seriously drink allllll the wine. I wanted to drink all the wine last night but we only had beer which I get zero buzz off of.

So yesterday after work I went to CrossFit and came home to put Callie to bed while DH left to go have dinner with his mom. He said his stomach was in knots but felt this had to be done in order for us to move on. So when his dinner finished he called me and said that his mom started off the dinner again like nothing was wrong....just chit chatting trying to have normal conversation so DH had to blatantly bring up the topic. He told her how we felt and how we feel things need to be going forward and what it's going to take for things to change. She didn't respond well at all. She asked him what they needed to do to change things...and he asked her what she thought she needed to do. It's like...it shouldn't be that difficult of a question. I would think maybe apologizing to start would be nice. Of course it wouldn't be a heart felt apology since they really don't care much anyways. Even if they did apologize I still don't want to have a relationship with them since they are both toxic individuals. I think over time...like A WHILE we may be able to be in the same room together but it's going to take a longgggg time for me to build back up the trust I had with them in order for us to spend time together and talk. They really screwed up. 

Anways...DH feels better now that he had this discussion even though it didn't turn out on a positive note...at least they know now where we stand.

Tonight I'm going to my Mom's night out event and we are going to a karaoke bar!!! I'm so excited! I love watching people do Karaoke but I hate doing it myself unless I've had a few shots in me lol.

@southernpeach89  congrats to your H for doing! At least things got out and they have at least heard the situation. Hopefully a better outcome for everyone's sake! *fingers crossed*

LizzyTish88

@labro WTF client!! That sucks, hopefully you can have all the wine soon!

@southernpeach89 Sorry things didn't go that well with H and his mom. Hopefully a night out will help you to feel a little better! Hugs!

I am still feeling crappy but overall better. Yesterday and this morning have been a shitshow. Work is insanely busy and I can't catch a second to breathe.

Yesterday it was raining and no lie, at least 9 different people contacted me on/through text, call, email, FB, Instagram, and Snapchat asking if cheer practice was cancelled. I started telling them to contact the coordinator and ask her, but it got to a point that I just started to ignore everyone. 

At 4ish the coordinator texted me asking if we were having practice. I said back "IDK you tell me cheer coordinator." It's not my call!! It ended up getting cancelled and when I sent that out to people I added a note saying to please respect my time because I work full time and can't answer x/y/z methods all day long. So then my phone started blowing up with people apologizing. Between that and the other coaches not stepping up when I outright asked for help, cheer is on my short list right now.

Also my old boss is haunting us even though he is gone. He sent an email to the Supt basically saying I fucked up his last check and he wanted it corrected. I didn't, and the Supt had my back so we sent an explanation and hopefully that will shut him up. 

I need all the alcohol and I can't because of meds. Booooooo

labro

@LizzyTish88 Seriously they need to invent effective meds that don't get fucked up by alcohol. End of story.

At least I finally got a full night of sleep last night!

@southernpeach89 I'm glad your DH had the opportunity to be up front with your MIL. Even if it didn't go the way you had hoped, at least your position is 100% clear to them. Have fun tonight at your Mom's Night Out!!!

@labro – It’s when bullshit like that happens that you kind of want to go all Office Space on your job, amirite?

@MissKittyDanger – Hard wood floors are amazing for so many reasons.

@LizzyTish88 – I’ll have a drink for you, if it helps. Which I know it won’t, but I’m a good friend so I’m going to try anyway.

---------------------------------

My interview went FANTASTIC!! At the end he made it clear that IF I got an offer it would come from HCM and not him, but then eventually the "IF" started dropping off of his sentences, so I'm really hoping that means I got it! I'll keep you guys updated, and you are ALL INVITED to my epic celebration party.

I spent over an hour dancing in my living room last night. It started with Destination Calabria, which you should all listen to because it's ridiculously hard to sit still, and then I kind of just kept choosing related videos on YouTube and found a lot of good stuff! I really also like Hideaway by Kiesza. I was trying to do all her moves.

I am also aware that these songs are years old....... But I've been in a Broadway hole for a few years and need to catch up. I know I'm lame....... I also think that some techno music videos are a lot dirtier than any hip hop ones I've seen.

labro

@AlPacina WOOHOO!!!! I'm sure it's a for certain thing! SO EXCITING!!

I definitely told H last night that he needs to get a new job in CA so that I can quit my job gracefully and tell everyone at the client they can fuck off forever.

@AlPacina Everything crossed for you!!! 
@labro that client sucks.  I'm sorry that all the headaches and extra work have been for nothing.
@LizzyTish88 sounds like your old boss is bored, hopefully he goes away for good soon.
@MissKittyDanger do you not have AC at all?  
@southernpeach89 enjoy your mom's night out!

I have 100 invoices that I need to do today.  In 4.5 hours I've gotten 6 done.  That's all for my excitement...

MissKittyDanger

@AlPacina  hardwood > anything else. Also basement would be lovely if hot too. And *crosses fingers*

@speakeasy14  nope. 5 fans and all the afternoon sun to cook our place It's brutal.

LizzyTish88

@AlPacina WOOHOO Fingers crossed you get the job!



@speakeasy14 I hope he's just bored! You sound like me right now at work!! 

minskat30

@labro I'm so sorry about work. That sounds terrible and I hope you are able to bitch a few people out.

@southernpeach89 hugs to you and your H. His mother sounds like an incredibly toxic person you are better off without 

@lizzytish88 why does everyone keep blowing up your phone?!? Seriously...not cool at work 

@alpacina Everything crossed for you!

Can't move ...trapped under a baby...she had her shots today poor thing. She's 12lb 4oz though at 10 weeks tomorrow and 25 1/4 inches. 63% for weight and "off the charts" (per her pediatrician) for height. Going to be a tall one I think.

FLEE, @speakeasy14!! Run for your life!

@labro, ick. Good luck cleaning up the mess.

@southernpeach89, sorry the conversation didn't go well. At least your DH brought it up.

@alpacina, glad the interview went well! I'll keep everything crossed!

Oh my god I'm grouchy. Beyond all rational thought grouchy. I overslept this morning, there's drama llama in one of the gaming groups that for some reason I'm getting to deal with, one of my students from last spring is still managing to be a thorn in my side, and the fast food restaurant got my lunch order wrong.

H and I are having supper with my parents. Then I'm planning to not talk to anyone else as much as humanly possible.

eilis1228

@AlPacina I didn't even know you were interviewing for anything. I AM SO BEHIND ON YOUR LIFE, WOMAN! Crossing all appendages that you get the job! PS: I totally blame you for the Hamilton black hole I'm in.

@labro I hope you feel better ASAP! I hate meds that don't let you drink wine. How do doctors expect you to make it through the week?!

@lizzytish88 Ugh, sorry cheer has been such a pain for you lately. I hope you feel better soon, and I hope cheer chills out for you!

@speakeasy14 Girl. I feel you. That has been my predicament recently too. "Oh, lots of work! I will totally get X done before lunch and finish everything else after!" Then 4pm rolls around and I'm 1/4 of the way through everything.


@KeptInStitches I'm sorry you had a grumpy morning. I hope your day improved!

@southernpeach89 Big hugs! I'm sorry everything is so terrible with the ILs, but I love that your H laid it all out for his mom like that. I hope she listens!
