Rants anyone?

Zimsgirl

So I'm bored and in a really shiity mood from being sick. 

People on FB are irritating me tonight so I'm on TK lol

Anyone got any rants?

FI and I are bickering.  It's a rarity recently, and it's nothing serious, so it's okay.  But I'm in a pissy mood because of it.  He gets preachy sometimes, and usually I just, "Yes, honey" him but tonight I told him that he can only speak for himself and not to tell me how others feel who he has no idea (I said I was making brown sugar chicken wings for Super Bowl, and he told me he didn't like them and no one would eat them, so could I make buffalo wings instead.  So I said I'd make both, and he insists people don't like the brown sugar wings.  I know for a fact that's wrong, but I have no problem making 50/50 so he can get what he wants.  He then said that I shouldn't bother making the buffalo wings for him, but I'd see he was right and no one would eat the brown sugar wings.  Which is bull, but who cares?  Why can't he just say he wants buffalo and doesn't want the brown sugar?  Why does he have to speak for everyone else?)

So then he got bitchy about something I didn't do that he asked me to do, so I got bitchy about a bunch of things I had asked him to do that he didn't do.  Real productive.

And my skin has cystic acne going on all over my chin.  Sucky.  I'm going to go to Whole Foods tomorrow and try CAB's suggested Oil Cleanse Method.  I think I'm going to get Caster Oil, Tea Tree Oil, and some EVOO.  I don't want to make it too complicated to start, but I'd like to add Almond Oil or Avocado Oil or Sunflower Seed Oil later!

That stinks Cal! I'm sure people will love your wings!

I'm just annoyed with work. I really love my job for the most part but it is a student newspaper so the people aren't full time. People will miss their quotas and not care and for the big special section I sold recently people's laziness fell on my shoulders. I had to call on their accounts bc they didn't then when I didn't get a sale bc it was so last minute my boss was disappointed.

As for my FB annoyances, I hate when people try to start arguments on statuses. If you don't agree, don't comment. Also people's etiquette amazes me. A girl I kinda know is posting about her baby shower and posting on people's walls asking for addresses to invite to the baby shower she's planning for herself!

calindi

I see a crapton of rude Facebook stuff all the time.  Girls posting about their wedding updates, when it's a fact that 95% of their Facebook friends aren't invited to their wedding. I don't care if you're going to have "the most amahhhhzing cake evuhhhh" if I'm not going to get to eat it, you little twit.  Or vague-booking - UGH!  "People need to mind their own business and not tell me what they think I should do for my wedding because it's MY wedding and not YOUR wedding."  Thanks sweetie, you really sound like a peach.

Any FB status that starts with "People really need to..." is just preachy and obnoxious usually.  Unless it's funny.

Zimsgirl

I totally admit I post too much about my wedding. I'm actually gonna go through and delete my dress albums I think. I get too excited and put more up than I should lol. 

I'm friends with Kendall on FB and you would've loved her last status lol. About to go through and clean some friends out!

I sort of have a rant about my  work.  I looove what I do, it is exactlythe job I wanted when I graduated.Wonderful  work enviroment and a great company to work for. But,I'm just not being put on very many projects at all lately. Ny supervisor has been out for a week for knee surgery, but I should have work backed up to do. My job has even offered to let me telecommute until i find a job in FL I love. but I'm having a hard time believing they are going to have enough work for me to make it worth it. 

AmandaSC1988

Oh, and about people posting too much wedding information on FB,  a friend posted on FB a few weeks ago 'just so everyone knows, the BIG fancy wedding is off....we are now having a small wedding of only 100 people'

ughhh that IS a lot of people!

I'm sure your friend has NO idea how expensive 100 people are when you include dinner, drinks, cake and anything else. 

Zimsgirl

We wanted 75, 100 tops but there are 140 on our guest list. My guess is 110 show.

We wanted 75 - ended up with over 200! My mom had a bad relationship with her MIL and didn't want me in the same boat, so the more she pushed, the more my mom and I gave. And the ILs didn't pay for squat. So, to me, 100 would be a small wedding, but still too big. It's all relative.

No rants here, at least not today. The training exercise ended, and while it may not have ended well in the big picture, my flight did awesome. So today is the last day of 12 hour shifts, but we actually get a lunch break today.

Oh, and does the Register still publish the weekly Ames Tribune? I think it came out Thursdays. That was one of the papers I interned on and then helped with when I went full time. But I wasn't advertising (which it sounds like you might be, but could be wrong). I was pretty much everything else.

I think it's really relative. I've never been to a wedding with only 100 guests. That sounds small to me. I wanted maybe 240 people, but when you have divorced and remarried parents, and your FI has a large family, that doesn't happen. Right now we are inviting 325 people.

My rant is that I am a big, sick, grossburger. Dry throat on fire, dry mouth, watery eyes, runny/stuffy nose, nasal inflamation...And of course, it's worse at night. I woke up four times throughout the night. So on top of being sick, I'm also exhausted.

My rant for the day... I hate having to get all dressed up at 4AM, just to walk a mile from the VA to the main hospitial in the rain, and then have to sit soaking wet for 4 hours listening to "Surgery Education Day". Also, I understand that normal people don't have to show up to work until 8-9 AM, but when you have a hospital that is run solely on computer programs, wouldn't it be smart to keep at least ONE IT person in the hospital 24/7?

LetsHikeToday

We had exactly 99 people at our wedding. We had two no shows. It was perfect :-)

crownsuperstar

We invited about 200ish (give or take a few) but thanks to training and other Army stuff we ended up having about 140-150ish.  I can't remember correctly.  Some of the guys and their families could not come because of far travel, training or last minute Army change and some of my family becuase of travel.   It was perfect though since we invited more then the room could hold based on the numbers of no shows that we would have.  Glad that worked out in our favor.  I did not like living that close to the edge.  HAAA

Yes, It is relative. I can;t imagine inviting 300 people. How would I visit with each person... not to mention pay for them! I think 135 (which is our number right now) is too much. But my friend who is getting married 2 weeks after me is having a casual wedding... and she is having over 300... where 200 is JUST family. Talk about huge family (Both her and her FI have over 10 kids in their immediate family)

calindi

Our guest list sort of ballooned a bit, but still manageable - we have 165 adults, 6 under 21 young adults, and 15 children under 5 (don't worry, we're having a babysitter the whole time for any parent who wants to drop them off - I just can't imagine my wedding without kids, though!).  I'm hoping to have no more than 150 adults (including young adults) come.  I think we'll be fine!  Nearly without exception, our guests will have to get hotels, and probably about 40% will have to fly, so I'm sure we'll have a lot of declines.  If we have under 140, I'll be thrilled!  I really wanted a small wedding, but there's also a lot of people I'd really like to invite who we can't (family friends, neighbors from when I was growing up, etc.)

Yeah, the Trib seemed more of the paper for people who stayed there after graduating and got old. The Register had three small weeklies I worked for and then they took over the Press Citizen and I was given one of those regions to control. I loved that! Sometimes I really miss that job, but I needed a change and the industry is slowing dying. The three papers were individual staffs when I worked there and now all three pretty much share one smaller staff. It makes my heart sad.

Do you just sell or do you get to do any of the design as well?

Yep. The last time I did a facebook friends clean-up EVERYONE noticed, simply because facebook would advertise me as "people you may know" to them. Damn you facebook. I was trying to be sneaky. :P

I can't imagine what things I will hear now if I delete people....they do tend to get all butt hurt about it. :/

Well, here are my rants.

1- My stupid tire light keeps coming on after every few weeks. I believe my front left tire has a leak in it. I have the worst luck with tires, and invested in the most expensive tires for my car to keep from having these issues, but obviously, that didn't work. Hopefully I can just get it patched. Stupid tire.

2- Back in the beginning of December, I purchased some nail skins online. We are now in Feb., and still nothing. They said once that they couldn't deliver it to my house (which is stupid cause I haven't had a problem with any of my other mail) and they said they would be sending it again 2 weeks ago. So, I sent an angry email this morning. I don't even want the stupid things anymore. Soo annoyed.

I'm with you Binx, disgustingly ill. And I feel even more awful about it because FI leaves for his TDY Friday so I feel like I'm not spending enough quality time with him before I don't see him for 4 months. Blerg. I had my huge ugly I'm-gonna-miss-you cry last night, which is something I generally don't like to do in front (of course I'm a crier, so it's not like he's never seen it, I'm one of those cry at Hallmark commercial types) of FI, but we'd had a really nice night of doing nothing special and before bed it just hit me like a ton of bricks that he's going. I hadn't even really been thinking about it, and 4 months isn't that long, but I got all upset, which in turn upset him. I'm going to not do any more of that until he leaves, he doesn't need to be worrying about me.

Yeah, it's one of the things I would worry about if we had our wedding in my Mom's hometown, it could add half as many again to our guest list because we have so much family there.
