Confessions/Vents

Let's hear 'em!

I'll start...I mainly have a confession: I am scared outta my mind right now! Here's the story...

So FI and I have been unhappy with our jobs for quite some time now. I should re-phrase that: we both love what we do, but have been pretty disappointed with our place of employment and such lately. After many discussions and weighing the benefits/consequences and such we decided it would be best for us to start looking for jobs elsewhere. The first opportunity that came up was Monday-FI interviewed at Spectrum in GR. The cardiac surgeon that came in to talk to him during the interview offered him the job on the spot! I have never seen FI so animated and excited about something job-related. Again, after much discussion, we've decided that he's going to accept the position. I am so happy for him...and for us. I think it's going to be great for us. The scary part? Reliazing that within the next 9 months we will be starting new jobs, moving to unfamiliar territory, buying a house and getting married! It's just kind of an overwhelming feeling at this point.

I suppose I do have one vent: It's kinda frustrating that since FI's job is much harder to come by than mine, I have to wait until he's locked in with his new job and has a more definate start date before I can start looking for myself. I'm kind of a control freak and so much of this move is out of my control. I feel helpless.

Wow Amy! Talk about starting a new chapter all at once. I can't even imagine the stress.

Good luck with everything!

Mine is more of a vent. My boss just started me on a new program that I have to run by myself. I don't know how to use the CAD system very well and the job entails a decent about of knowledge using CAD.
The person that I'm taking over for is not being very helpful. I have had enough of this already and just wish some one would help out.

Confession: I seriously need to get a grip on my emotions. We are 3 1/2 weeks out, and every.single.thing. that I see makes me cry. I'm fine; I'm happy; I just tear up at every instant possible.

"Ooh, look; those flowers are so pretty!"
*sniffle, sniffle*
"The cake topper is set to arrive on Friday!"
*lump in throat*
"That guy's wearing shoes! I'm going to wear shoes at the wedding!"
*dashes for Kleenex box*

WTF???

FI's brother got married on Saturday, and I cried from the moment the first bridesmaid's first foot hit the aisle until the moment we exited our pew. At this rate, I'm going to be hospitalized for dehydration before the wedding day ever arrives - and god knows how I'm going to make it through the ceremony....

Me too, Melissa. FI calls me "Ms. Sappy-pants".

I don't have any confessions or vents today. I'm confession/vented out.

VENT:
My shower invites went out on Saturday 8/13...
Only a handful of people have called to RSVP there is about 65 invited..

Long story short my FMIL and my mom are giving me the shower, both of their names are on the invites.

2 of the people who have called, CALLED FMIL to DECLINE...Who does that? Your my aunt!! Total bull-crap! It's one thing to call and decline,but another to call my FMIL and decline, instead of my own mother...
Other than that...life is good:)

vent: the effing post office lost a few of our invites and I think some feelings were hurt that people "weren't sent" an invite. Dude, seriously? I mailed 140 of these suckers, the post office was bound to lose a few, get over yourselves! and RSVP already, since you clearly knew when the wedding is and knew to reach out to us about not receiving an invite.

confession: I'm dreading doing the seating chart. Like, the second I start thinking about it my stomach flip flops. hopefully it will all come together.

I feel ya larzhope. My shower is this Sunday and since only some people ion the church got an invite theres been an uproar. Im more then a little annoyed, partly at ken since the church people where his responsibility I was just doing the mailing and partly because of the people making the problems. Um hello WE ARE BROKE people, we invited a certain number of people that we knew we could afford. Some of my extended family had to get cut of for that reason, so just get over it! But of course I can't say that because it would be rude. Sometimes I just want to hit people to knock some sense into them.

Mrs0toBe · August 2011

this is a silly vent but it's bothering me.

I can't find the invitations I want. I've looked at hundreds. I know I don't need them yet. I just can't believe they are not out there. I want something classic and elegant - with a plain bold/wide border. How hard can this be?

LOTON01 · August 2011

I am beyond stressed. I can't even begin to explain it on here because I would have the longest post ever. To name a few things though we have to move, I hate my job for the first time in 10 years because of new people working with us, and of course wedding stuff.

The stress is keeping me from sleeping. Now I am one sleep deprived crabby stressed person.

emilynnp · August 2011

Vent: I had to leave town mid-experiment for a last-minute interview (which went very well!) and went over the instructions twice with the undergraduate in the lab who said she would help me. Well, she missed something pretty important and now that I am back for a few days before leaving for more interviews I have to figure something out with my boss on how we're going to finish these experiments. Ugh!
