Confessions.... Vents?

What do you have today?

cnf2013 · August 2012

Confession: I have done nothing work related today so far, except filling out program verifications. It took all of five minutes. I did nothing work related the last two days either other than a few phones calls and emails. I'm so horribly bored.

Vent: FI and I got in a little spat this morning. And by spat I mean it wasn't a fight, but we both copped attitudes with each other. The dog got grumpy at like 3am this morning so FI got up to take him out then chose not to come back to bed. So he was all tired and pissy this morning. Not my fault, you made the decision to stay up at 3am knowing you have a full day of work and meetings. Don't give me your attitude because you made a dumb choice. I'm sure our trip to Lowes this evening will be equally as lovely. He's a horrible grump when he doesn't get enough sleep and we're both over trips to Lowes for deck stuff at this point. The treat I get to look forward to, hooray....

mrsk, sorry about your future-in-laws butting in so much with the house. Doesn't really sound like the best situation. I hope they calm down about everything and realize it's your house soon!

Confession: For the first 1-2 hours at work today I did wedding stuff like typing up address labels for the save the dates and looking at flowers online.

Vent: I had to do an experiment at work today that required some pretty nasty stuff that you're not supposed to be breathing in. Well my boss talked to me and my 2 coworkers about it and we all said we weren't comfortable unless it we were working in a fume hood. So she said she talked to a safety person and that we'd be fine. Well guess what happened next. My coworker and I ran the experiment and now we both feel nauseous and have headaches. Seriously there's a reason there are warning labels all over the chemicals we used that say do not inhale, or work in a fume hood. I'm actually furious that she made us do it and don't really think she got the ok from safety for what we did today.

</div><div>She better hope she asked someone. That's pretty disconcerting and if either of you have any serious medical ailments from this she can get in serious sh!t for not letting you wear the appropriate gear for this. Especially is she lied about asking. That's really dangerous and horribly unprofessional on her part.</div><div>
</div><div>MrsK, hopefully things will work out for you guys. My parents can't keep their comments and suggestions to themselves about our house either. All I ever hear from my parents is how we should plan to redo the kitchen down to specific details like cabinet hardware and backsplash options. It's really obnoxious, but hopefully soon the excitable period of moving into a new house will fade and everyone will back down.

Courtney—I’m sorry you had a fight with your FI. My FI is the same way when he doesn’t get sleep. He gets SOOO grumpy and he normally is pretty even keeled. He wakes up every day for work at 5 am and sometimes has his other job at nights so I’m like seriously, why are you being grumpy to me, it’s your choice to work so much!!!!!!!!! And he gets all grumpy when he has to take the dogs out late at night (which I usually do) but then I told him he has to take them out first thing in the morning because it is only fair to them! So he listened to me on that one, for the most part lol. I hope your FI is less grumpy tonight and pumps himself up with caffeine before you go to Loews!

MrsK.. That is weird about the dog! I never understood why people restricted their dogs to only one room. Even though our dogs have caused some issues (a few weeks ago the puppy peed on the bed, and we had take EVERYTHING apart to clean it), we just can’t say no to the dogs on the bed. We just try to keep them out of the room when we aren’t there. And I have to say that is ridiculous that he told you to train your dog to poop only in one spot! That is just insane. His parents are influencing him. My FI had some things like that with our dogs. His mom grooms our dogs and she always cuts my dog’s fur way too short and he defends her and I’m like, seriously, you barely even can tolerate your mom with 99% of other things! And lately he’s been leaving the dog poop bags on the step of our apt building because he is too lazy to walk over to the dumpster sometimes. GRRR. Hahah ok that’s part of my vent.

Bar—that is crazy about that chemical stuff! You should go to the doctor and have your boss billed!!!!! That is just ridiculous. Seems like people just don’t care as much for others in the workplace these days, it’s just all about the $$$!!!

I don’t know how many confessions I have but my vent is definitely the thing about the crazy expensive electric bill we just got. Hopefully it will be ironed out. But I am also concerned about FI going back to school in the fall because he just found out he has to add another class to get the money from this scholarship he got. It pisses me off that he doesn’t look into these things to begin with. He subtly makes me feel guilty because I told him I don’t want to move back in with my parents when our lease is up, and he wants to so he can go back to school full time. UGH. Issues, issues, issues!!
I feel like such a whiney b*tch now. That's my confession!!

kwebb17 · August 2012

Confession: I didn't sleep at all last night. I got an email yesterday from someone at one of the jobs I applied for asking if he could call to do a phone interview and I've been a nervous wreck ever since. I have no idea why. I tossed and turned all night and all day now I've been feeling sick to my stomach just waiting for the phone to ring. I keep trying to remind myself that if it doesnt go well it's not the end of the world, but I can't seem to shake my nervousness.

Vent: I'm so tired of everyone being in my sh!t. Mainly FI's dad and stepmom - theyre our landlords and our family. Sometimes I think those 2 do not mix. I can't wait until we can afford to move out. We live in a duplex and when we moved in they made sure to tell us that they understood this was our space, but it hasn't worked out that way. His stepmom means well I'm sure but she can be so nosy and overbearing. She always knows about conversations FI and I had in our apartment which means she was listening on the stairs and when we go out of town she comes in and cleans the whole place and then makes comments to FSIL that I dont keep my house as clean as she'd like. She constantly hogs the washers and dryers (we have 2 of each in the basement) and when I ask if I can wash my stuff she insists on doing it for me. I have to wait until like 2am sometimes just to wash my clothes on my own. Lately she's been making comments about my sleep schedule, insinuating that I'm not really looking for work and I just sleep all day - which is not true. The other day I was up late with FSIL and she went outside and peeked in the window and then when she saw us the next day commented that she saw us up at that time. Im just so frustrated and I feel like she can't have it both ways - she insists that she doesnt want me to give them any rent until I get a job even though I've told her my unemployment is enough to pay all the basics and then snoops on me and acts like Im being lazy and not trying to get a job so they can get their money.

Sorry this was long.. I needed to vent today

sssdee · August 2012

Confession - I JUST mailed our wedding agreement and deposits to the church last week (It was supposed to be mailed in June but I misplaced my cheques and I forgot multiple times LOL)

I was trying to keep it on the low away from FI but in the end last week when I had a dream/nightmare that we lost the church due to my silliness, I had to cough up and ask him for 2 cheques for the deposits. He wasn't impressed but meh. I got confirmation this morning that they received it and it's booked so that's good!

Confession #2 - I know I have LOTS still to do for the wedding - even just research wise but I haven't been making the time to organize and plan what I want to work on next. Feeling lazy again but I NEED to get my but in gear

Vent - Not too much really.

cnf2013 · August 2012

Kwebb, what's your field you're looking into? I know how awful unemployment can be. I worked as a teacher in a horrid school district last year and when they cut my position to part time I used the excuse to jump ship. However, since they only write one year contracts for nontenured teachers, they were required by law to provide me with unemployment, which ended up being a god send becasue man, we needed the cash a few times. It's really disheartening being unemployed for a long stretch of time. I was unemployed for eight months and the never ending, dead end searching is really taxing. Sorry your MIL is a crazy helicopter pseudo parent. Tell her to chill her grill and back off. I'd be high tailing it out of there if I was you, even if it meant finding someplace smaller just we could afford to move.

rmp4996 · August 2012

C I still feel like there's so much stuff at work that I don't understand even though I've been here a month. There's so much to learn/remember and I worry I'll never get it all. V I'm still not officially enrolled in my masters program. They require a 3.5 GPA and I have a 3.41 so I need to go through this whole interview process ans get a transcript from 8 years ago and its just frustrating. The school I need the transcript from only takes written requests and its upstate, so I had to fax my request and still havnt heard from them. The woman I've been working with is on vacation and so I have to wait until 8/22 to even get an interview, but there's only 5 seats still open. Ughhh. My 2nd vent is that I've been asking FI mom for the address of her friend to send save the dates for months, asked her 4 times, and still nothing. I'm going to ask her ONE more time, and if I font get it by Fri they won't be getting save the dates and they won't get invites either if she doesn't get it together. I'm not asking again after this.

cadamus · August 2012

Confession: I got in a little accident with my FI's car. but i am paying for everything!

Vent: has to do with the same issue. Went to get estimates today and they want a crazy amount of money to fix 3 freaking dents. all they have to do is pop out the dents, buff and paint! That is crazy. and I had to order a new headlight unit and that was outrages as well. Why do they have to jack all this crap up!!!!!! I can't take it!

ashlidie · August 2012

Sorry about your FIs parents mrsk! Unfortunately it will be incredibly hard to re train your dog to not go on the couch or bed, poor thing will not understand. And unless you fence in a certain area it is tough to retrain a dog where to poop. Their best developmental stages are as ops so I wish you much luck! Bar, what experiment is making you sick (unless it's proprietary) my degree is in materials science so I've been working in chem labs for some time, I might be able to offer you some insight to what might be going on depending upon the chemical. Things like ammonia or ethers can give you headaches but you usually smell them pretty distinctively. That is incredibly wrong for some to force you to work under unsafe conditions especially if you are uncomfortable. I think you can report them for that and they can suffer some serious repercussions.

blferguson1s · August 2012

Confession: I'm also broke. I have not even $20 until my next check goes in the bank which should be tomorrow. I feel awful that FI is having to contribute so much more than I do to the bills, but he makes twice as much and I'm away at school.

Vent: I hate being away from FI. I moved back to school on Tuesday and have been missing him like crazy. I'll see him at the end of next week, but I hate doing the long distance thing again. We were apart for the first year of our relationship, and we finally got to be together over the summer. Now, we have to do it all over again for sixteen weeks. I'm counting down the days to graduation!

ashbeth06 · August 2012

Vent:
I have been "working" the past three days, which I am suppose to be using to plan for my class. I don't have the pacing guide for the math curriculum (which I won't get until the 28th) and was told we'd have different themes than the rest of the preschool/toddlers have with the creative curriclum they use. I feel like I've sat around and twiddled my fingers to get paid this week when my co-lead and I could have started next Monday and done the seminar tuesday and wednesday, setup classroom thursday and friday before attending professional development to learn about curriculum and assessments the beginning of the following week. We basically have two days to plan before the first day after recieving all the answers to our questions during professional development. Very frustrated and annoyed and the FI has noticed my change in mood all week. Thank gosh tomorrow is Friday!

Confession:
I feel like a bad daughter for not checking in with my mom as much as I said I would when I saw her last. I know she is doing fine, but mentally is what I'm more concerned about. I'm upset I can't attend my mom's first oncology appointment (on her birthday of all days) and surgery follow up to see if she can drive yet. I know coming home this weekend for my friend's bridal shower will allow me to see my mom and be her chauffer shopping and hopefully will help calm my worries.

ems27 · August 2012

Confession: This week, I lesson planned my first geometry unit for the fall instead of making up work to do at the job I was at (leaving that next week for teacher orientation). I feel badly getting paid and not doing work for them, but they don't have anything I can work on currently!

Vent: I got my hair cut three weeks ago, and she left it too long... so I already need it done again, but refuse to go twice within a month! Last time I'd gone, I asked for my bangs to be a bit shorter than she'd done and they ended up being too short, so I thought I was having the same feelings with my hair overall this time. Ah well.

ciligirl · August 2012

Confession: My daughter goes back to college next week and I am acting like it is no big deal but I am really going to miss her. Last year she went to school in Italy and oddly, I handled it much better, probably because I knew seeing her would be out of the question. Now she will be about a 5 hour drive away and I have a client only 45 minutes from her school so I will get to see her more so why am I so bummed. I'm not ready for her to go.

Vent: I know this is an awful thing to complain about given the economy and people out of work but I have too much work. I have no time to even think let alone get my daughter ready for school. I can not take on any more work and even when I tell my clients and potential new clients that I am slammed and that they will have to wait, some just don't care. I want to say to them like seriously, I am designing a room, not finding a cure for cancer, I think you can wait. Then one had the nerve to ask me today how my wedding planning is going. Well, if I wasn't jumping through hoops for you it would be going great but I have no time to plan my wedding! And on top of it I am doing so much running around and crap that I don't even have time to bill people. And some people owe me a lot of money.

C and V part 2- so since I have been so stressed about my daughter leaving and my suck the life out of you clients, I have been eating like crap and drinking wine I have gained about 5 pounds and it went straight to the old muffin top. And my FI is riding his bike to work every day and is looking great.

Julie2013 · August 2012

Confession: I snuck into my daughter's candy stash after I put her to bed and snarfed down 4 of her mini Laffy Taffys.

Vent: I was looking for chocolate!
