WTF Wednesday!!!

littlemoments324 · March 2012

HAPPY HUMP DAY KNOTTIES!!!!!!

Please feel free to vent here!!

mekiakoo · March 2012

I don't know if I have anything to vent yet. I am off from work tomorrow and Friday.

We're doing a fundraising for our upcoming field trip to a deaf school so my students have been selling lollipops. It's CRAZY keeping track of how much $$ they turn in! The lollipops are 50 cents each. Billions of coins! We need to raise $1,575 to be able to go on the trip. I keep getting different amounts of $ each time I count them. I turn them over to the office everyday and they are also getting different amounts, ugh!!

I'm also "patiently" waiting to hear form the underwriting. We are supposed to close tomorrow but that's not going to happen. We are supposed to hear from them by "late" this week. I consider Wednesday as "late" in the week. I'm very impatient.

Yesterday I had to sub for a one-to-one aide. The girl is in a wheelchair and needs to be lifted to go to the bathroom. Well, I messed up my back lifting her. So now I'm in a ton of pain. Plus I have cramps today too. Basically I just hurt everywhere. Not fun.

ski2play · March 2012

Crappers dramaqueen that totally stinks.

No vent here today, feeling a little stressed about to do's for the wedding but I know it will all work out.

Dinner is in the crockpot for tonight so that is one bright spot in my day, and it supposed to be 60 degrees here in Western NY. Woo hoo!

That is the worst. -_- When doing clinicals in the nursing home about a month ago, I strained my back trying to help a gentleman up out of bed. Even with proper body mechanics - some things just don't go as planned.

I have NOTHING to vent about today. The sun is shining (and its warm), the quarter is winding down so the next 2.5 weeks are cake for me, I have my amusement park interview next week, and I get to wake up with the man I love every morning. I'm just really feelin' positive this week.

AllyG303 · March 2012

Our couches didn't fit up the stairs in our new apartment, so we have to get a new one. Most of our stuff is still in boxes in the garage. Hopefully this weekend we can get it all worked out. All that's done is the kitchen so far.

ceglare4 · March 2012

I have a work-related vent today. We're redoing our website and I've been spearheading the whole thing since last fall. We're in the home stretch now and everything is uploaded to the site and I'm currently going through it, making sure things are in the right spot and whatnot before it goes live. Come to find out that out of the 30-40 documents that I sent our website developer to be uploaded to the new site, ZERO of them were uploaded! Why you might ask did I spend all that time gathering the docs and then sending him 20+ emails with them all attached? BEATS ME! I am so irritated!

colleenm18 · March 2012

I have a few vents today so I would like to apologize in advance!

Vent 1- Work

So my office is set up so that a majority of us work out in the main area in cubical while our two manager each have an office. Well our 1 manager is VERY loud and always insist to host conference calls with her door wide open for all to hear. It can be extremely distracting and she is very difficult to talk to, she gets offended very easily, so noone wants to ask her to please shut her door when she is on a call. So frustrating!

Vent 2- FMIL

So my FMIL pretty much likes to pretend that this wedding is not happening. It's not because she doesnt like me or anything like that, its more because she doesn't want to help pay for anything so instead of just saying that she just ignores any wedding talk at all UNLESS it is about her. First she told me she is getting two dresses for the wedding, whatever I dont care. Then she tells me she cant find anything at all and will have to have two dresses costume made. Again, lady whatever you need to do. Then she tells me she is thinking about wearing light blue. OK now our colors are royal/cobalt blue and Orange. I know that light blue is not the same color but really? I am just not really comfortable with her wearing any shade of blue is that wrong? I could totally be over reacting so please be honest with me!

That is the worst. I feel you :( I hurt my back dragging my dog last year May and I finally felt better maybe in October. I hurt it again a month ago and it's finally starting to feel okay. Take it easy!!

Ally- I'd be super FRUSTRATED if my stuff didn't fit in the apartment!! Last year when we moved in, we had to shove our couch through the doorway and we broke off some pieces of the trimmings from the doorway. Moving large stuff is like doing a puzzle, for real.

bells24412 · March 2012

I don't have a vent at the moment, but it is still early...

It is super nice out today and going to be even better tomorrow (today is 60, and tomorrow 65!) feels like spring is right around the corner. I may actually get myself to go to the gym night, hopefully it will all work out!

I'm not worrying about what either mothers are wearing (i'm helping my mom pick her outfit out - but that's because she doesn't drive and she wants me to be the one to go with her shopping) or what Abuela is wearing. I'm just turning a complete blind-eye to it.

Abuela wears a lot of "pant suits" that are matching extreme patterns - and that's her dress-up wear. They honestly look like pajamas - but I'm ignoring it all.

If you start worrying about what each person is wearing - then I think you'll end up more stressed than necessary. I don't think people will notice she doesn't match the wedding color - or that she choose a color that is close - but not exact. As long as she isn't planning to "upstage" you - just ignore it. I think she's trying to get a reaction from you - don't give her that luxury. :p

YuMMMy721 · March 2012

My vent today is definitely all about work!! Monday morning I walked in to our entire infastructure bassically having puked all over itself. I have been playing damage control and putting band-aids on everything all week. I am the head of our internal database system but since I am not an employee of corporate i don't actually have privalages to the server itself, just my specific parts of it. So I am not the one actually fixing anything, just getting things to "work" in the meantime. We are an aerospace manufacturing company, so everything is super time sensitive. I am getting yelled at from every angle, from people i've never even heard of, and yet i'm not actually the one fixing it, just the go between..... soooo frustrating!!! I almost called out today, but i knew they would just call me at home all day and i'd be more screwed then if i was here....

bridetobe71412 · March 2012

I think I sufficiently vented last night about FMIL so I should really spare you guys, but sorry - you can't control the interwebz.

Vent: My mom doesn't like any rehearsal dresses I'm picking out online. One is too casual, the rest are too formal, etc. I know I don't need her approval, but if I don't find one she likes, there will be comments flying around all over the place. ("Well, you could have probably found something a little more . . . flattering . . . since you knew it was your rehearsal dinner.")

I also have the opposite of a vent, though: I'm meeting my MOH for dinner tonight! I haven't seen her in months because she's in law school in another state, and I am so, SO excited to see her. I miss her terribly!

You're so wise. I ended up stressing about dresses at the beginning so I eventually told all family members to pick whatever they want. My mom's dress is a pretty dress, but it's eggplant purple. FMIL's dress is called "hydrangea" which is a light blue. My grandma's dress is aqua. Our colors? Pink, peach, ivory, champagne and gold. So, it'll be a rainbow in photos, but whatever. I don't really care at this point as long as they're happy!

Posted by colleenm18[/QUOTE]

Honestly Colleen, I don't think that's so bad. I'm not sure what her reasons are for choosing that color, but I think in the end she will coordinate with the WP fairly well without exactly matching them you know? For example, in pictures if the BMs are in cobalt blue and she's in light blue, sounds to me like everyone will mesh well together. I think that's a nice plus. And PPs are right, try your best to not worry about what everyone else is wearing. You'll go nuts in the end. Though I do understand where frustrations can come from.... I can't say I looove the fact both moms will be wearing black on our wedding day.. GL!! :)

I know what you are going through. We're at the initial stages of overhauling our website and I'm also the lucky one in charge of it. However, my company works slower than anything I've ever experienced before in my life so it will probably take a good 5+ years before anything happens. It took them an entire year just to put a team together....

No WTFs from me today other than I miss my FI. I've been so busy this week I won't get to see him until Friday.

But I honestly think it could look weird if everyone is matchy-matchy. Obviously there are extremes - and I understand that fear of the unknown with your FMIL - but I think it'll all be okay.

Have you ever seen a good quality allergist for your headaches?

Even if it's not allergic - there is something called nonallergic rhinitis which can be triggered by changes in temperature and can cause headaches.

Elinetrouwt · March 2012

It's supposed to be spring here and it keeps on raining. The gray skies, oh...

Apart from that, I don't have any patience left for the job interview I have on Friday. I want to know the outcome, now. There's so much that depends on it. I want to know.

Hallanole · March 2012

Omfg, I just got called into HR as my time frame to be eligible for medical and dental insurance is coming up.

So FI couldn't cover my daughter or I as company only covers for Married people. No domestic partners. So daughter and I are on state covered insurance. Well I'm holding out till after wedding to add us. FI is already paying family plan as he has to cover his son. So no cost increase when us girls are added. FI is paying $100 a week for awesome top of the line insurance. No deductibles, they took away routine copays. Wooo!

Well let me say, thank whomever, that I do no have to take medical here. The costs are crazy!

Edit-Side note, when I covered myself and daughter from good job, I paid no more then $75 a week for us.

Just for the record, if I had to cover the family, my pay check would be $72/week after medical/dental and taxes.

If we weren't getting married, I would be covering myself and daughter and the costs for that are Crazy!

So employee +1 HMO 1000 deductible policy is $163.62/week
HMO $500 deductible policy is $175.79/week
PPO H.S.A. is $288.72/week

And also ticked that I'm wayyy over qualified for this job, bored out of my skull, there has been no raises in 4 years, moving up is a Pain plus some, and I'm at max pay and earning 10k less a year then I was for what I'm qualified for. Stupid economy!!!!

MeaganR12 · March 2012

My employer was turned into OSHA yesterday and I'm worried they'll have to close the doors or at the very least let some of us go. Surprisingly I'm at peace with the whole thing in a way since it would force me to get out of my comfort zone and actually do something that I love. But obviously the lack of income is a concern :-/

I'd consider bartending again and would probably make the same if not MORE than I make now, but FI isn't too keen on the idea.

avsfan33 · March 2012

Warning. I might have cursed a lot because I'm beyond frustrated right now.

Vent 1:

My aunt sent my mom a message asking "when that kid of hers" was getting married and gave her invitation and then said "I'm STILL waiting for my invitation". Go to fuucckiiing hell. This woman allowed her son to BEAT me as a child and believed I deserved it. He hit me in the face with a fuckiiing bat because I was playing with a truck. He's also bit me when we were kids. She also has me on FB and could've sent me the message instead of my freaking mother. My mom responsed with "invitations haven't gone out, she's getting married here. It's her wedding so you'd have to ask her. Not my wedding."

She's been online since and hasn't responded or sent me a message. She's not invited and never was on the guest list. I can't stand her or her stupid kids.

Vent 2:

I NEVER EVER EVER asked my dad to help with the wedding. HE'S the one who said he was paying for the wedding dress and that he'd give 5 grand. Yeah, well, I only needed two. Last night he sent the rest of the money saying "I hope you appreciate what I'm doing for you". You can go to fuucking hell too. I hope you appreciated that I didn't drag your ass to court for alll your missed child support payments. My mom's response to this was "maybe it's because you don't really talk to him". I responded with:
"FFS. Why does it ALWAYS have to be me who makes any fuckiiing attempt in this relationship? He doesn't exactly talk to me either and I never asked for his help." Since when did doing nice things become a giant production? If he didn't want to pay for it, he shouldn't have offered.

Now, most of the time, I'd say I was overreacting. But my dad's a fuccckiing tool and I'm not reading "too far into" his comment. He has major control issues.

Vent 3:

My mom hates FI's family (his dad/mom). She has good reason because even FI doesn't care for them. So she's taking it out on the girlfriend she's never met. We were having pizza for the supper but she's allergic. So I asked my mom to ask my cousin who's doing the catering (she works for her) if she could just make up one goddaaammmn thing of chicken for her. She threw a hissy fit about how now everyone's going to want something else. GTFO. She can DIE from her freaking allergies. It's not like this was just sprung on us. I have to carry a freaking epi pen for food allergies so you'd think my mom would be a little bit more accomodating. It's one piece of freaking chicken breast.

I know for a fact if it was someone in HER family, she'd be throwing a fit and making sure they could eat but because it's FI's dad's gf, she can "eat appetizers and salad". When I got mad about it and told her to just ask FI what he thought, she flipped out and hung up on me. My cousin sent me a text offering a solution because she has food allergies and gets it.

I should've stuck to eloping because I'm about two seconds away from turning into a bridezilla and stomping on people's heads and crushing buildings (because I'm like..godzilla?)

<div>OMG yes!!! I deal with that EVERY day... the good ole boy system is in full swing at my office and I am constantly fighting to even be heard let alone believed! It is incredibly frustrating... And the thing is my degree is actually in engineering from the same college some of them went to, you'd think they'd listen to me... but they don't.... so frustrating!! </div>

avsfan....your family situation sounds incredibly awful. like eline said - could you elope? since family is doing your catering, perhaps there wouldn't be too many contracts that you would have to break.....

meagan OSHA is not something fun to deal with

i hope you can keep your job for the time being until you figure out a good alternative!!

my WTF for today is my own darn fault....WHY OH WHY DOES PROCRASTINATION FEEL SO GOOD???? i have to draft a really detailed and intense mediation statement by tomorrow for a potential multi-million dollar liability case.....and i have been sitting on my butt all day and haven't started it yet. yay.

I would but I've already paid for preeetttyyyyy much everything and it's a loss I'm not willing to take.

I don't know wtf is with my mom lately. She's usually pretty reasonable but something has crawled up her ass and died recently or something. We changed the menu so it wasn't a big deal but I did get a text from her earlier being like "You changed the menu?" I was expecting there to be a follow up of bitchy texts when I said yeah but she changed the subject.

I'm used to this crap with my dad, which is why he's not involved in the wedding planning and why after the wedding I don't plan on talking to him anymore.

On the plus side, my flowers showed up at my mom's today and apparently they're really pretty. Like better than the pictures. I won't see them until April, though boo lol.

Two mini vents. I'm a little frustrated with the LED lights I got for our centerpieces. I was excited when they were delivered on Monday. I put it all together today and the LED lights are NOT teal. They are a plain green. The picture does make them look more turquoise than in real life. I'm going to have to send them back and just get blue instead. That is gonig to cost shipping back, a 15% restocking fee, and shipping for the new ones. Ugh! I should have just went with the blue to begin with. Even if the blue is a little off from the picture I have it should match better than the teal.

What the blue should look like.

The other vent is that I still don't have the swatch from the BM dresses. It had to be ordered from the manufacturer. I understand that it will take a little bit for me to get, but I'm stuck on pretty much all of my projects until I get it. That is the frustrating part. We're not going any further with the prgorams or anything until we get that swatch to make sure the colors are the same. Otherwise, everything is going great.
