WTF Wednesday!

Happy Hump Day!! Please vent here!!

I want to be healthier. Or just healthy.

I had to call in sick this week again, due to ongoing bladder issues. I am so tired of the pain, but I've been turned upside down over and over by specialists, and still... Ouch. And on top of that, a blood test just came back with bad results.

I just want to go home and go to sleep.

@Eline- Hope you get answers and feel better soon!

Ellie- I'm sorry you're sick I hope your bladder issue will be resolved soon!

I'm irritated with all the waiting we have been doing. We sent in our request to the sellers after the home inspection and they came back saying they'd do some of this, not that, etc so we sent back 2 more simple requests and we haven't heard from them since Sunday. I feel like we've had to fight for every single thing even though we feel that our requests/offers have been reasonable. And it doesn't help that our realtor is in Michigan for a snowmobile completion all week long.

I slept through my alarm this morning, was late for work and now I have a pounding headache! Grrr...

AllyG303

Eline--I'm sorry that you're in so much pain!  I hope you find relief soon!

No wtfs for me today!

Elinetrouwt

Thanks all!

Waiting is so annoying. Way less important than your stuff, mekiakoo, but I'm waiting for replies from some vendors and I really don't like that.

I don't think anybody likes to wait, regardless of what they are for! I'm not a patient person either. I'm actually waiting to hear from 2 of my vendors too. AHH!

eline - hope you feel better soon! i will be sending positive vibes your way!!!

i shouldn't complain about my vent...it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have the super bowl in my hometown and everything that is happening this week is amazing.....but a few things about it.

first, i had plans to work out, go to brunch, and go dress shopping with my MOH on saturday. i was PUMPED about it....but she cancelled on me yesterday because she was asked to be an escort for LMFAO (yes, the band) who will be in town for the super bowl. she already cancelled on me once so even though it is a good/cool excuse, i am annoyed about it! i want to order the dresses ASAP! and we already had store/brunch reservations which i now have to cancel...

also, people are driving like PSYCHOPATHS - i came within about 3 inches of getting in a wreck this morning. and i really want to bump into a celebrity and i haven't yet. boo. i am volunteering tomorrow, friday, and saturday, so maybe i will meet someone then....

Today has been the crappiest day ever at work, I got yelled at by HR for not wearing my safety glasses 2 feet past the stupid sign, then got handed a brand new pair of safety glasses, which is all great, except i promptly got a piece of plastic in my eye! Then I got asked by an employee on the floor if i was the new secretary (I've been in my engineering job for over 3 years now!)

And on top of all that I am exhausted! We went out with FI's family last night for his birthday and then get home and get ready for bed, one thing leads to another and we somehow get on to talking about babbies, and then have a 2 hour discussion on breast feeding vs not (he's for it, i'm against it) and he bassically ended up saying that he's not sure if he wants a baby if its not breast fed, he will resent it! WTF!!

Can I be nosy and ask why you're against it?  Just curious is all.  :)


My WTF is that I'm letting work really get to me today with stupid little things like... I got stuck having to deal with ordering printer supplies for the printer in my area.. and more and more people are asking to be hooked up to it because I'm the only one in the entire building who takes care of a printer and makes sure it works (I do a lot of printing myself).  It's fvcking annoying... take care of your own shiit and stop mooching off of mine!  I'm convinced that engineers are the laziest people on the planet.  (1st world problems here...)

I also applied to another school district that is in a bad area and I don't even care at this point I NEED a new job.  :(

Also, my ex is back to haunt me (again) and I really wish he would just leave me alone forever.  YOU dumped ME... why are YOU making ME feel guilty that you're alone and I'm getting married??  (Long, complicated history...)  Why do men always want what they can't have?

UGH

<div>It really creeps me out and the thought of having my child latched on to me in that way is gross in my mind. I can't see myself ever being happy doing it. I don't like watching people do it in public and there is no way that I would be able to do it in public, which means I would be hitched to my house, and no where else for however long I did it for, and my life involves a lot of traveling and on the go. </div>

Well that makes sense to me. 

Also, I wasn't breastfed and I turned out perfectly fine, so I don't see what the big deal is if women choose not to breastfeed (and some women/babies just aren't able to do it anyway)  :)

FI and I have had those discussions too. In El Salvador, I guess formula isn't even an option. ALL babies are breast-fed. He has this concept that if you don't at least try to breast feed your child, then you aren't really trying to love them or some ridiculous statement.

I wasn't breast-fed, I don't think my mom ever thought about it. And at this point, I have no idea which I'll do - but pumping the breast milk and then bottle feeding is totally a very fair compromise for us personally.

My WTF is - I emailed a professor about a test question that I didn't understand why the correct answer was what it was and she responds with "That question was easy if you attended class"....I've never missed a nursing lecture. You have no idea who I am, and there are 80 people in that lecture..how would you know if I missed? Snot!

StephanieToBeKeys

Eline- I feel for you. Being sick is no fun. I hd bladder/kidney issues for awhile so I know the pain. I hope you feel better soon.

macfam- You could also tell your FI that even if you did decide to BF it doesn't guarantee that the baby would end up being BF'd. I tried with both of my kids and it didn't work either time. With my son he wouldn't latch properly so his weight dropped too low and we had to start formula. Some people also just can't produce enough milk. Would he really resent it for not being BF simply because it wasn't an option? He might want to think about that a bit. I did want to BF because of the nutrition and boost to the immune system, but it just didn't happen and there's nothing else we could have done.

My WTF for the day is my FI is wanting to spend all of our tax money and we haven't even gotten it yet. He wants a new phone, free standing dartboard, car, computer, and he wants to move. Plus, the rest of the wedding is being paid for by our taxes and the car we do have also needs a lot of work done. Some of the stuff he wants to get I'm fine with, but we can't afford all of it. On top of all the stuff, he also wants to get his mom's car fixed or buy her a mattress. Ever since we found out how much we're getting he's spending all the time. I've tried talking to him about it and he agrees that he is just spending because we have this big check coming in. Well....stop spending! Grrr. If I make a big deal about him wanting a good looking car instead of a cheap yet dependable car or about spending thousands of dollars on his mom I get made into the bad guy.

<div>WTF indeed! If he's so keen on it, let him find a way to get milk out of his nipples. It is your body, and him not wanting a baby because of this is ridiculous.

</div><div>FI wants me to give birth in the hospital where his mom works in the nursery.

Oh - I'd be so with you on that one. I want the doctors and FI in the room when the time comes - no one else. Well - nurses and such - but yknow..not  other family. It's not a feature film, people! Personal opinion for myself.

I hate the breast feeding police too. It has health benefits for mom and baby - but it's really not the end of the world if you choose not toor simply can't . It's funny - so many people are all about reproductive rights for women - but a lot of these same people don't back up the option of choice for BF or not BF. :: Jumps off soap box :: ;-)

Hahaha! Mental picture. I whole heartedly agree. BTW you will NOT want to drive 45 minutes while you are in labor. The 3 minutes car ride when I was in labor was torture!!!!

dramaqueen91087

To jump on the breast feeding thing. I'm not even sure if I'll be able to. The breast reduction means that there is a strong possibility that I won't produce milk/have the ability to feed. Would people rather I be in such pain that I can't function (as I was before the suregery) so that I can breast feed?? It is your body, do what you want/can do.

As for WTF, I've been calling Rabbi's like crazy all week trying to find one to officiate. Can someone tell me why they never answer the phone? Or why the people that do are super rude? One women told me they couldn't help because I wasn't a member. I asked if they would perform the ceremony if I was a member (my FI isn't Jewish) and she said she didn't know! BS, you just don't want to talk to me. I think I found someone but he didn't answer the phone either. What is with these people.

<div>I totally feel your pain!! We were in the same band wagon once our minister said no. I called and called and called. and sent e-mails upon e-mails. Finally I found a minister that would do it and we booked them right away. The ones who want to do it will answer, the others you just have to shrug off and move on to the next one! It is very frustrating though!! Good Luck!</div>

dramaqueen91087

I wish I could just move on. Unfortunatly there are only like two Rabbis in the area who will even consider performing an interfaith ceremony. So now I'm waiting for them to call me back. The one I'm really looking at sounded like a home number though, so I'm hoping he'll call me back tonight.

My WTF is that I'm so busy at work that I keep forgetting to eat/don't have time.  It's great that I'm losing weight but I know I'm not doing it healthly.  I'm worried that after tax season I'm going to gain tons of weight .
