Tuesday Night

StefffiC · July 2012

I know I whine about work. Alot. But, tonight sucks.

The person responsible for tonight's mess is the usual party. She needs to grow up and learn some professionalism.

[QUOTE]I'm a HS teacher and I have plenty of kids that go by their middle names, so I don't think it's weird. For me, I want my kids to go by their first names, but that's how I am. It's not uncommon for kids that are named after a living relative to go by their middle name.
Posted by JessAndTrav[/QUOTE]

I want my kids to go by their first names too. FI is named after his grandfather, who passed away before he was born, but the name is a little old fashioned, I guess, so his family calls him by his middle name. Basically everyone he met before high school calls him his middle name and everyone he met afterwards calls him his first name because the nuns at this Catholic high school refused to call him by his middle name.

angelstar975 · July 2012

Erin, I'm pretty good! I'm down the shore with my parents and I can't really sleep. I miss FI... haha. I'm pathetic, it's been like 9 hours since I last saw him.

JessAndTrav · July 2012

I'm here. I was distracted by a post on TB.

Posted by pokepoke27[/QUOTE]

I work at least 40 hours from the home office, and the remainder from home.

A newer person in one of our other locations met with senior management for some reason and made some wild claims she couldn't produce data to backup. My boss and her peers are being called on to prove or disprove this person's claims and I've pulled the data, I'm now putting it together so that my boss or one of the other VPs can present it to the Sr management level tomorrow.

The other employee is very young and doesn't realize what she's doing. I think she wants to make a name for herself and move up. But, it's not working.

I expect I'll work most of the night. But, I didn't get my data until noonish, so I knew it would be an all night project. Such is my life. Maybe I can slip out early tomorrow, we'll see how the day goes. Probably not.

ErinG93 · July 2012

A good one, Jess? Link us if it's an interesting blow-up one!

<div>So when we're posting on TK we call it knotting. Do you guys call it Bumping? Because that would be great.</div>

JessAndTrav · July 2012

I don't know that I've ever referred to it as 'bumping' but I vow to start doing so immediately.

It wan't a juicy thread by any means. It was just asking about people that use or have worked in daycares, and I worked in one when I was in college, so I answered an embarrasingly long answer.

But long answers are normal when bumping.

JessAndTrav · July 2012

This was posted earlier and then DD'd, but I caught it before and was able to repost it.

All of my days of knotting have trained me well for my days of bumping.

"My mom quit work almost 4 yrs ago and has kept my son 1-2 times a month to give me a break and was who was supposed to keep him when I go into labor and 2-3days I am in hospital. Well she called me today saying shes decided to go back to work.O joy something else to worry about where will my son will go my grandmother is in her almost late 60s and just cant handle a toddler 3days. My MIL is not good with kids at all. DH could stay home but I don't want to be hr away from home in hospital alone either plus DH has never kept son longer than 1-2hrs alone ever thats when I've been napping and could wake up to whatever crisis DH thinks is happening. I just feel overwelmed O and DH who works 12 hr shifts sleeps 8hrs so we see him 3hrs a day thinks its an awesome idea to have SD here 7-10 days at a time...Toddler-8yr old and newborn all alone all day no help I am going to loose my mind. "

So I responded with something like, "So, your mom did something for HER instead of doing something for YOU.

She's so selfish, right?"

I told her I was happy that she had faith in her husband's parenting skills.

pokepoke27 · July 2012

Ha! I bet she took that well Jess.

JessAndTrav · July 2012

It took her about 5 minutes to DD the whole thread, and one that she posted later on a different board.

angelstar975 · July 2012

What bothers me most about that post is the lack of punctuation in several places and the fact that it barely makes sense.

But yeah, she definitely sounds like an entitled biiitch.

angelstar975 · July 2012

Holy crap, my ticker has officially hit 6 months. I had a small freak out earlier over everything I still have to do.

<div>Just remember, people have planned and put on fantastic weddings in just 6 months, which means you are totally capable of doing the same. :)</div>

pokepoke27 · July 2012

I did the majority of my real planning in less than that Angel - you'll be fine and everything will look fabulous!

LeiselEB · July 2012

Hello, hello. I can't sleep, so here I am again.

Angel, I definitely remember freaking out when my ticker would switch to a new month. But now I'm bummed there's nothing all that exciting for me to be counting down to, haha.

My worst nightmare is being a SAHM. I would be one of those mothers that kills her children and herself.

My husband will be a much better SAHD and probably better parent.

Why have kids with someone you can't trust to watch their own children?

LeiselEB · July 2012

Poke, I love your new sig! I really like your husband's tie.

angelstar975 · July 2012

You know what a big pet peeve of mine is? When dads refer to "babysitting" their own children. No. You're not babysitting when it's your children... you're parenting.

My SIL put on her very nice (from what I've heard, and the photos look nice) wedding in about 4 weeks.

Her husband is military and was getting shipped out due to the conflict in the middle east with very little notice, so they bumped their date up to get married before he left.

I'm sure your wedding will be amazing.
