Spill your secrets, air your grievances...it's confessions and vents Thursday!!

Meghannsix · March 2013

The only thing I'm irritated about today is that I have a meeting at 1pm. Night shift nurses hate midddle of the day meetings.

Wedding-wise, I've turned the corner and I'm over my little pity-party, for the moment. FSIL is coming over to work on wedding stuff this weekend, my first real knock-down, drag out DIY extravaganza, and I'm starting to get a little excited about it. Possibly because I know she told Fi to trim his guest list, and he hasn't, and she's going to read him the riot act, and I won't have to.

Confession: I'm pretty sure I bombed my stats exam last night. I was pretty much in tears when I left because I felt so horribly about it. But I got myself 2 tutors today and I'm hoping that between my homeworks and the final I can at least pass the class.

Vent: My co-op contaminated 7 out of 16 flasks of cells last week so now my experiment is set back by at least 2-3 weeks. I'm super annoyed about it because we've gone over sterile technique many many times and she still contaminated things. These cells grow super slowly and it's taken me over 3 months to get where I am now. Ugh that will teach me to have her do anything like that for me again.

I haven't been sleeping very well. I can go to bed at 9:30-10:00 wake up at 7 and still dragass. Which means I'm cranky and want nothing to do but take a nap.
Maybe it has to do with me hating my job and dreading coming here everyday.

aaaand? I have to go food shopping and I'm broke as a joke.

blueikaos · March 2013

Oh and one more thing!

Now that my wedding is getting closer I'm getting extremely aggravated at the "rustic theme" fad that is "in" right now.
I had planned on doing stuff like this for yearrrrssssss! I grew up with a country state of mind in Jersey. All my friends tell me I was born in the wrong state. HAHA.
Now everyone and their mother is getting married in cowboy boots, and burlap accents and it ticks me off to no end.

Whew.

mrsjmwolfe · March 2013

Confession: I'm skipping classes today. I also cheated on WW last night. Don't tell anyone. I made pistachio bread and dyed it green for St. Patty's... it was too cute not to eat a slice!

Vent: I'm sick and I haven't been sick in forever. I work at a restaurant at night and am constantly picking up people's shifts to help them out. The one time I need coverage and everyone is magically busy? Oh, convenient. I hope they come in to eat, sit at my table and realize I'm going to cough all over all my customers. Very sanitary.

P.S. I'm bitter and cranky today. WATCH OUT!

P.P.S All is well in wedding world.

blueikaos · March 2013

The vents just keep on coming:

For the 3rd day in a row I was called from my pt job that they don't need me to come in. I JUST finished all the computer training and need to train on the floor. I guess the store is slow so they've been calling all seasonal/part time help and telling them not to come.

3 days in a row! That's over $100 I'm missing out on! I got a part time job for a reason! *sigh*

APherber418 · March 2013

No cofessions but I so need to vent!! Our budget is just barely there and I am still trying to figure out ways to cut conners and it's just not possible anymore. FI gets paid the day before the wedding and we may have to use that check. UGH!!

[Deleted User] · March 2013

confession - i haven't really been paying attention to my "wedding diet" so all the working out won't help out all that much. and i mostly don't care - but i probably will after the wedding if I see the pictures and i look bad :-(

vent - FI doesn't seem to understand that we are now in crunch time and he needs to start making decisions quicker (like what he is going to wear!)

Miss Esa · March 2013

Confession: I didn't make a lunch today, and I told FI I was just going to order Jimmy Johns. (He is pushing the healthy eating) and I'm sitting here trying to decide if I'm going to order Chinese food or Portillo's for lunch.

Vent: I'm so fed up with the family drama involving my wedding right now. I'm ready to elope, but we already have our downpayments paid for.

montanabounding · March 2013

I only did half of my yoga today. I find it incredibly boring. I hate going slowly.

I hate explaining something to somebody, but they don't understand what I'm saying/think I'm saying something different, and then they basically call me an idiot. When I'm trying to explain something legal (I work in the field) or technical (FI does web design/coding for fun when he's not working his other job), I can pretty much guarantee that I know more than the other person does. Sorry, if I'm trying to explain a legal procedure to you, and you insist that I'm wrong and I'm an idiot for saying that x is y, but you are the authority because you've seen one episode of Law and Order... No. Just no. Shut your mouth. You have no idea.

That, and then a friend of mine going on a rant about, "I hate people who believe in xyz! They're so intolerant! I hate them!"

Um, sweetie, I know that you're a dear friend, but I don't think that you understand what the word "tolerance" means...

Not that I'm perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but holy cow, the running-off-a-cliff stupidity of people (and the people who jump on the bandwagon to cheer them on!!!) is really getting to me this week. Not sure why I even bother trying to help others with their issues or putting out general PSAs. 'Cause clearly, they know better. Head. Desk.

cnf2013 · March 2013

I have a two hour program tonight for work after business hours and I'm stomping my feet about going. Granted it means I can take a half day Friday, but still. It's a parenting program at a Head Start and we don't usually work with kids that young, so I have to modify an existing program and try to force fit it to these kids and parents. And I always hate doing parenting programs since I don't have kids of mine. Makes it kind of hard to be an authority, ya know?

sopraffina · March 2013

Confession: I told my sister last night that I don't want a bridal shower. She was just in the preliminary stages of planning, and she called to get a guest list. I get an anxiety attack whenever I think about it.

Vent: My boss caught me with my confession on my screen. lol. I have plenty to vent about but no time. Can I vent about venting?

ETA: Another confession. I got my wedding jewelry in the mail today, and I'm sitting here looking like a dork in pearls.

blferguson1s · March 2013

Confession: I've been registry stalking like it's my job. In fact, I've been registry stalking instead of doing my job. My shower is Saturday so I'm expecting a big chunk of my registry to disappear tomorrow night.

Vent: I have absolute no emotional control, and I get offended very easily. I'm often misunderstood, and I get really upset when people call me out. Then, I get harped at about how I need to toughen up instead of always having my feelings hurt. I can't help that I'm so emotional!

Also, I'm scared to death that I'm going to be embarrased at my shower. I'm very private, and if sex is even mentioned or there's anything inappropriate pulled out of a box, I might lose it. Even my mom tells people that I'm modest, but I'm really worried somebody is going to say or do something Saturday that upsets me. I don't want to be that girl who ends up crying at her own freaking shower. Ugh!

lovefuzzies · March 2013

Confession: I have a little work to do today but the boss is out on vacation so I'm reading TK instead, LOL.

Vent: I like my pastor a lot but he irked me a little on Sunday during our final meeting when he said if I was going to have a blessing before eating at the reception I needed to find someone else. I told him early on that I wanted him to do it because it would allow me to get the type of blessing I wanted (which wouldn't be overly in your face religious) while avoiding family drama (who gets chosen to give the blessing). I feel like an awful person for being irked about this because he and his wife just had twins a couple of months ago and I know that's the only reason he said to find someone else (the poor woman is staying at home alone with their three kids while he performs our ceremony). Now I have to figure out who else I can ask. I know my mom's side of the family would be happy to do it but they're a completely different religion and very in your face about it. Ugh, this is something I never considered to be on my stress list but now it is.

[Deleted User] · March 2013

Confession #2: I pushed it WAY hard at boot camp last night and my legs are crazy sore. Despite my intention of getting up and walking around every once in a while at work I have instead been sitting scrolling through all the posts on TK and facebook. So - when I just went to the bathroom I felt like an old lady hobbling down the hall and I was lucky I was able to get back off the toilet without crying.

cadamus · March 2013

Vent: I am over this snow!!!!!!! I just want to be able to go out the the store and not have to wear 1,000 layers and then sweat my ass off walking around the store bc it hot in there! Plus summer is my favorite season!

confession: I feel so bad for Fi. He is super stressed out with it being his last semester in law school and he doesn't have a job yet. So he has the school work stress and not having a job stress. He also needs to pick what state he is taking the bar in. He is torn. He woke me up at 2:30 in the morning bc he was crying. He feels like he wont be able to give me the life i deserve. But to me as long as he is in my life thats all that matters to me!

erinlin25 · March 2013

nothing to confess really, but my vent is FMIL planned a weekend trip for the family without clearing the dates...and it is this weekend. She talked about it at Christmas time but never said hey I want to book the trip, is such and such weekend work for you? Or even telling us she booked the trip so we had time to plan around it. She dropped the bomb 2 weeks ago-- I originally had plans to work out of town, but she was upset when her other son and DIL because they bailed on the trip (they had plans already), so FI and I feel obligated to go...but we do not want too! We've had a super busy week at work and its making it more stressful that we "have" to be done with everything and close the shop early tomorrow-- which we do not like to do (we cleared appointments, but it just makes us feel bad that we have to tell people we are unavailable). We have to work in the am and FI will probably stay late tonight to be sure everything is able to get finished before we leave, so I just now FI is going to be stressed out

Hopefully its a fun weekend--could be hit or miss!

I'm a little sad I had to take myself off the competition I was supossed to judge--I hate being a flake, but I was totally put on the spot with the trip and FMIL complaining about FBIL/SIL. Plus FSIL is at least my savoir on family functions, so not having them there is a bummer. Hopefully FI and I will get to at least have our own agenda at some point (which is probably unlikely since FMIL and his sister like to plan things and get mad when they do not get there way...) should be fun!

sorry, vent over

niemand88f · March 2013

Confession: I work FT and grad school PT and it's spring break for school this week. I've been so lazy at work - there isn't much to do right now, but I should be working on some scripts that I've been putting off for too long instead of playing around on the internet.

Vent: We need to rent or buy a lot of plants for our weddings. We asked all these different florists who said each fern would be $40-50- we want 15-20 to line a hideous metal railing at our venue. I asked if there was anyone they would recommend, they swore that no place would have ferns for less than $30 each. I drove past a generic decor place today and decided to stop in... guess what, they rent giant ferns for $15 each and that includes dropping them off and picking them up! So it's a vent that I've been panicking for weeks about what to do instead if I couldn't get enough plants, but now I'm happy in the end.

ciligirl · March 2013

Vent: watching the bruins with FI is so annoying. He is sitting here mumbling to himself and getting all worked up. I can just imagine what his blood pressure is. He plays hockey so I know he knows what he is talking, I mean mumbling, about but it is even more annoying that he does! And I am missing Greys! Confession: I know I am a 100 times worse when I watch the Pats!
