What's annoying you today?

My day has taken an interesting turn.

1) Some of you may remember me complaining about having to put in money for constant bridal and baby showers. The guy we just had one for maybe 1 month ago was talking to another co-worker about to have a baby about all the great gifts he got here. And guess what...no thank you card to anyone. That really bothers me, probably more than it should.

2) We just had one-on-one reviews with the boss. I was told I'm super awesome, the highest producer, fantastic quality. Now, my next task is to reduce my production time. Why? Because it makes everyone else look bad. So I have to write slower and get paid less on the off chance management revises our incentive plan to better meet everyone else's production times. And on top of that, it's been a month since my raise request and I'm pretty sure it's pretty much been brushed aside, a "no" at this point.

  • I'm annoyed that every time our producer takes a day off, he automatically assumes that I'll do his job for him. 
    panther
  • What?  Be less productive so they can pay you less?  And ignore your raise request?  No, thank you, that makes no sense.

    I'm annoyed by my headache that won't go away.

    I'm annoyed that I keep trying to upgrade the champagne for our reception, and they keep saying "just bring a bottle or two of something nice for yourself and we'll serve andre' to everyone else".  I even told them I'd provide the alcohol, if they couldn't get something nicer, and they'd just have to serve it, this shouldn't be a problem for them. 
  • My boss and my job in general. I came to the realization this weekend that I am just lazy. I don't want to come to work, and I get no fulfillment from being here or accomplishing anything. I am not rewarded monetarily, and nothing is ever good enough to be static for any length of time. Once I get used to a certain arrangement of the duties of myself and my staff, the rug gets pulled out from under us. This has been going on for over 4 years, and I'm tired of it. I hate not being able to ever catch up.

    If we didn't have a mortgage and a wedding to pay for, I'd probably just quit. I'm just lazy, and I need a kick in the ass.

    Yeah I'm debating what I should do. I'm so discouraged at this point that I don't know what I should do.

    B-that sucks,. My mom's school constantly does that and they end up there until 6:30 or later.
  • Sarah- I'm pretty sure that doesn't make you lazy.  It just makes you realistic about your current job situation.  That sucks, by the way.  We're going through similar stuff at my work; I think my 'job responsibilities' have changed at least 4 times in the last 2 years I've been working there.  Must be a higher education thing.

    <div>Thanks, I'm all about continuous improvement, but I am so busy training and retraining people that I get behind on my own work, and that stresses me out to no end. I am hanging on to this job, though, because it would be much more conducive to a balanced family life then being a fraud investigator.. or at least the kind of investigator I want to be. Really, though, I just want to be interested enough in something to not get bored with it. </div><div>
    </div><div>Saturday, I was seriously thinking about taking kinesiology classes here. I could get a 2nd degree here for free, but I'd have to take religion classes, and I'm not all about that. </div>

    I'm annoyed because I interviewed for a job three weeks ago and they told me they would have a meeting the following Monday to choose the person they wanted to hire. When they didn't call me a week later I followed up and was told the meeting got moved to the next Wednesday evening, well that was last Wednesday and I never heard anything. I'm more frustrated with the job search in general.

  • I'm not feeling well, but I probaly could have done just fine at work. Now I'm annoyed cause I'm feeling guilty about not going.

    Sesh- I'm sorry. It really makes no sense why businesses do this crap. If anything I would think a good business would be encouraging the others to keep up with you, not the other way around.

    It's raining and cold, and I need to run to the bank to make my truck payment. The only bank I know where you cant pay online. Stupid!

  • I'm annoyed that I still haven't recieved my package from the USCIS, and that it could be up to a year to get my green card, without which I can't apply for school. I am extremely happy that my mother has graciously offered to pay for all of my tuition. That was pretty ridiculously awesome of her.

  • I'm annoyed with myself for eating too much crappy food all weekend at my MIL's house, and drinking way too much diet Coke.  I feel bloated and sluggish, and set myself back on my goal of trying to eat better and cleaner.  And, I didn't want to get up this morning and got to work later than I usually do.  I've got a lot to do, and zero motivation to get any of it done.  Blah.

    Oh I could probably set it up on my banks end to have it taken out on a certain date. But I keep forgetting. So no it's one of those banks that still have the lovely coupon book. And you cant do bill pay unless you have an account there. Not gonna happen.

    I've been getting really bad heartburn the last few nights,Saturday was Mexican, last night was DH's chili. So I've been up for 2 nights, and my stomach hurts. But I'm afraid the only other person in the office that can cover for me took the day off too. Which sucks.

    Yeah, student visa=entering the states in order to go to school. Doesn't quite add up if I"m already here lol. I'm going to ask about it at the interview, but I'm pretty sure I need it.

    That's partly why I am yet to change my name. I really don't want to wait at the DMV or anywhere else in long lines just to change the name on my license.
  • Sun, we have students here who are not on student visas who go to school here. I don't think that is an admissions requirement, although it is usually an institutional aid requirement. Citizenship is a federal aid requirement.

  • I'm annoyed at my cousin.  Hadn't received her response card by the date I had to give a final headcount so I texted her to ask if she was coming and she said yes.  Got her card in the mail two days later...she added her 2 step children to the RSPV...they weren't invited.  No mention of them when I asked her if she coming.  So rude.

  • I'm sorry everyone is having such a suck-ass day.

    I'm annoyed that the weather sucks and I had a ton of errands to run.  I also hate grocery store employees (at my grocery store) and it didn't help that I need dog food and have to make an extra trip out to get it from a different place.  The one we give him had a sale sign, but magically wasn't on sale and, for once, I didn't have the energy to argue.  And I'm still doing laundry.

    You should be alright if you don't go on a Monday morning.  I've found Wednesday or Thursday mid-mornings are excellent times to hit the DMV.

    And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

  • I am annoyed with my endo office. The next available appt was Nov 11. My labs came back really abnormal and need to be seen right away. Emailed my doctor to tell him, he then doubled books me for Thursday and then I get a call today that I have to reschedule for another date.

    I could possibly end up in the hospital if I wait to long. I've been to the doctors about 7 times in the last month. Every time I go I come out with something else wrong. Ugh. Vent over.
  • I hit the DMV at 4 on a Friday afternoon, since they close at 4:30.  I've never seen them work so fast.  To get my new license (I had to retake the picture and all), I was in and out in 15 minutes.
  • I had a bad migraine Thursday and Friday. I came to work Thursday; worked through the day. Friday, I decided if I couldn't last, I'd get my test finished and leave early. I left 2 hours early.
    In the meantime, my supervisor found out that my migraines qualify for FMLA (since they are chronic, especially in the Spring, when they are cyclic for about 3 months), and that will free me up from worrying about pre approved or not pre-approved time.
    Well - I'd put in for 1 hr. sick and 1 hr. vacation on Friday, and this morning, she removed it for possible FMLA and it says "will recreate for HR."

    So my check on Friday might be short 2 hours. But they use sick and vacation times before using unpaid time, so I don't get it. And it makes me grumbly.

    I hate having to make multiple trips to different stores. I need go to the store myself, but I'm feeling quite lazy today. I need to finish cleaning up from last night, too (we had a couple people over) and I don't want to do that either.

    That sucks, dodgers. Any idea what might be wrong? You'd think a doc would take you right away if he knew it was extremely serious. I hope you feel better soon.

    naites--good to know. I have Fridays off so maybe I'll try that, go close to closing and see how fast they work then.

    ETA--Zepp! Box baby! So cute.

    Blegh, I know.  I'm going to see if N can do it.  We were cleaning all day yesterday because we found a tree bug trying to get in and I had to stay home today to be here for repairs, etc.  Plus, I had to wash all my clothes because I was freaked out that we might have a ton of tree bugs all over, but we didn't have any more than that one. 

    On a happy note, my cousin had a baby boy today!

    Yeah, I'm not sure. Like I said, I'm going to ask. I assume you need a SSN though if you're not going through a student visa. And the application has this:

    <font size="1"><p>Are you a United States citizen? <font size="3">q </font><font size="1">Yes </font><font size="3">q </font><font size="1">No </font><font face="TradeGothic CondEighteen,TradeGothic CondEighteen" size="1"><font face="TradeGothic CondEighteen,TradeGothic CondEighteen" size="1"><strong><em>Please note: If you are an international student contact us for an international student application.If you are a permanent resident, please provide a copy of your permanent resident card.

    </em></strong>And that makes it sound like if I'm not a citizen, I either need a green card or I need to apply as an international student. It's not a HUGE deal if I have to wait another year, but I've been out of school for 2 years now and I really don't want to put it off any longer.</font></font></p></font>

    Jayce.  She was keeping the name quiet--I only found out yesterday.  He was about 8lbs.  She went in last night and he was born some time around 11 this morning.  It's exciting because she's my only cousin and I have no sisters, so besides my close friends' kids, he's my "nephew".

    I've been diabetic for 6 years now and I have had<span class="mw-headline">Hyperthyroidism(w/ Grave's disease) as well. I recently had labs done and on my results my general doctor told that I have now become <span class="mw-headline">Hypo.

    He wanted me to see my Endo doctor to adjust the levels of medication since I am still taking my Hyper medication which lowers the level. Normal range is like 0.5-1.5 and I am at 8.30.

    My thyroid being so out of whack is causing a lot of issues with my diabetes. My sugar is all over the place. One minute I am high the next I am low. It's also affecting my kidney's. I recently gained a lot of weight and I thought that was simply because I have not been on my best behavior food or exercise wise but since my levels are so low it lowered my metabolism.. </span></span>
  • Damn, Dodgers, sorry to hear that. Hope those doctors get their acts together.
  • Wow, that sucks Dodgers. I hope you get in soon. I don't know anything about diabetes or hypothyroidism but all that sounds miserable.
