Vent in here

cmkuno

I need a vent thread badly.  Get your troubles off your chest ladies!  Make me feel a little better about mine.

I have a new office mate as of yesterday. It's her 2nd day on the job and she was 20 minutes late yesterday and 1.5 hours today!  It affects me minimally, but I find it SO irritating.  when she mosied  on in this morning she let me know that she has trouble waking up early and she drank too much wine last night.

Am i the only one who finds this a little odd? Shouldn't you conceal your bad habits for at least a week or so?

ETA: She also copies me on pretty much every move she makes...I do not need this much communication.

More like, shouldn't you mind your P's&Q's and be on your best behavior after it only being your second day at a new job???  Wow!

I know there are worse things that could be going on, but I am so freaking bummed that I haven't seen my husband in over 2 weeks now.  And it looks like it will be a full 3 weeks before I get to see him again.

It's a long story, but in a nutshell, he's hard at work testing in his lab right now (he's working on his PhD in physics, and needs to collect some data for a paper that's due soon).  He went back to Ann Arbor Aug. 1, the day we got back from our honeymoon, and I haven't seen him since (we live 2 hours apart).  

He was supposed to come up last night, but called me on Sunday to say that was getting pushed back until tonight.  I was so excited about him coming that I bought his favorite foods and was planning a nice dinner tonight.  Then he just called me 15 minutes ago to say his experiment has turned into a train wreck and he won't be up until this weekend at the earliest, and possibly not until next week.  I had a hard time not crying at my desk.

I know it's not his fault, and I'm not mad at him, I'm just really, really disappointed.  It's hard to go from that high of getting married and spending a romantic week together on your honeymoon to being apart for nearly 3 weeks straight.  I could theoretically go down and see him, but he's putting in 16 hour days at the lab right now, so that wouldn't be much fun either.

<div>I know how you feel. My DH is gone for 2 weeks here, 3 weeks there. Sometime it's only a few days, but this goes on all year long. Right now he's been gone for nearly a week and won't be back until late Friday night. </div><div>
</div><div>I get really bored because I'm not working right now. All my friends are either in grad school or moved out of state for a job. Being a SAHW isn't very fun. I need to find some work. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-undecided.gif" border="0" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" /></div>

Carolyn, that is the worst! I really feel for you. Luckily pretty soon you will start your new job and be in the same city! When does the move happen?

I am sorry you don't get to see your new husband, that sucks!

My vent is I am about a week and a half away from my wedding and I feel just overwhelmed with the amount of things I have left to do. I have just been so busy lately I haven't had the time to do everything I should.

I am so annoyed with myself, because I promised I would be done with everything the week before and I don't think its going to happen.

I typed a super long vent about multiple things, and then my internet shut down on me right after I tried to post.  My laptop, for whatever reason, has been giving me problems from the beginning and I have to use a USB wifi connector thing to get the internet to work anymore, and now the USB thing is breaking too.  UGH.  If only I could afford a new laptop...

I'm sorry to hear about not being able to spend time with your husband!  That really stinks.  I don't know if I would have been able to hold back crying after I heard that he wasn't coming up to visit

That sucks but I'm totally jealous that your DH is getting his PhD in physics. I'd sit around and pick his brain all night.

No vents for me. I'm just exhausted from traveling, work, a law suit I'm involved in, and trying to prepare MY house for MY shower which is just silly. I'm not hosting my own shower, it's a long story. Either way, I kind of regret saying we could have it at my house. I just need a weekend at home with no work so I can relax!

Well my retail job that I'm not so fond of is screwing me...

I've been with the company almost a year and have been at the same store I was hired in at. The store that is 4 miles away is older and very shiesty. They discount things they arent supposed to, send people to our store if they know it will be a shitty sale, and are rude to customers.

Turns out the manager at that store got caught having an affair with an employee so he was forced to transfer. He had a choice between our store and one that was farther away. He picked ours. Now our store is over on our head count so someone has to transfer. This coworker of mine has been talking about going back to that store for awhile because its where she started.

All of a sudden she decides today that she doesnt want to go over there and since im the lowest in seniority I have to go. They didnt give me an option between two stores like everyone else. I have the most sales in the store for this month as well.

I then suggested that i switch to part time since my manager said he needs a part timer, which would allow me to go back to school and then he tells me that he already hired someone and too bad so sad.

THEN to make matters worse, I had to request a weekend off next month and 3 weeks off in Oct for the wedding and my manager approved it special for me even though i dont have enough vacation time for the full time. So now my vacation wont be guaranteed if i switch stores because its a new store, new manager.

I dont know what to do. I've been crying all day and i just feel like a piece of dirt that my store is trying to get rid of..

I work in HR, and just started a new job supporting a new client group.  It was literally my 2nd day with my client group today and we got word that one of the employees in my group passed away....

and now I'm dealing with writing comms and figuring everything out from a process/HR standpoint as to what we have to do...

Talk about being thrown in the deep end without a life vest!
