Thursday Vent

amonis · January 2012

I don't normally start this thread but I really need to vent so I thought I would get it out there. So let's hear your vents too!

I work nights and didn't get home until about 4am this morning. We opened a yogurt shop and one of our employees called out this morning and FI is out of town for his (real) job. That meant that I had to be here by 7am to open. I should have actually been here earlier but that wasn't happening. Fi just called me and said we have a field trip of 10-15 kids coming in for samples around 10:30 or 11. Well... there is a kids gym next door to us so I walked over and there are 45 kids! By myself. AND they want to eat lunch in our shop (which holds about 20 people. And they want more than one sample and don't understand why we can't give them all free CUPS of yogurt. I'm so tired and grumpy, have to work here til about 3:45 and then work tonight from 4p-4a. I'm gonna lose it!

Also, I am having surgery on Feb 2 and I'm so nervous I constantly feel like I am going to have an anxiety attack. It's a really really tough recovery and I'm just not looking forward to it.

I am sick of people thinking that if you are working out you automatically want to lose weight. I am mostly doing the 30 Day Shred to get back into shape. Losing 5 lbs would be an added bonus, but it is not the focus. I am sick of people saying "well why do you want to lose weight" and looking at me like I am anorexic exercize-aholic. Annoying. Cant I just want to be healthy!?!?!?!

((hugs)) Amanda I am so sorry you have this on your plate. Hope the kids act nice and are thankful that they get a sample. Hope your surgery goes well on Friday.

I HATE how one of my neighbors in my apartment smokes so much that my apartment smells like cigarette smoke. I can't wait till I can move out!

Okay....this is a super bratty vent, so just bear with me and try not to judge too much.

So my aunts are throwing me a bridal luncheon the day before the wedding which I am so excited about. My grandma (dad's mom) had originally said that she wanted to help host it, but I think that 4 people hosting a lunch is a bit ridiculous and that doesn't really help us pay for the wedding. I suggested that she pay for the ceremony expenses, and she said just to let her know.

Well my aunt on my dad's side emailed my mom's sister last night saying that my grandma wanted to help host the bridal luncheon. I'm just annoyed. I know it's nice that she's offering to do this, but the bridal luncheon isn't going to cost very much, especially divided by 3 people already.

I hate this too!!

My vent---I'm a substitute teacher right now and I stayed up til almost 1 am looking for jobs for today..nothing. And then I woke up at 5:15 this morning and stayed up til 7:00 continuing to look. Nothing. It's just frutstrating because there are days where they need a million subs & won't stop calling, so it's very annoying when you look so hard and can't find one.

I called them a couple months ago but I am thinking about calling them again. It's crazy how bad it is.

diamondx423 · January 2012

I'm just annoyed with FIs parents. I did math for the wedding; with how much we owe vs how much we have saved + how much we will save and we're in the black! Which is WONDERFUL, but that doesn't include any money for a honeymoon.
I'm worried his family won't come through with what they promised (which is about 20% of what they had originally promised) and we'll be screwed out of a vacation. I'm afraid to book something and then be royally f'ed right before the wedding because they "can't help anymore". Asking my parents to help is not an option, they're already paying for about half of the wedding.

I really have to vent today

4 of my BMs dropped out ....................................ughhh

gregamywedding · January 2012

So I know some of you saw my vent from yesterday about my mom. Well this morning I was talking to her while I was driving to work. We were talking about different things we were going to do while she was here and she fell asleep. I couldn't believe it. If she was so tired and didn't want to talk just tell me. Don't fall asleep on the phone. Ugh!

kelsey+brandon · January 2012

Amy, I'm so sorry that your mom is being like this!! Hopefully she'll snap out of it before she comes to visit...if not, hopefully she will after y'alls chat!

Juliana what happened?!? I'm so sorry!!

daria24 · January 2012

I got zero sleep last night and when I FINALLY fell asleep this morning around 8:30...the workmen started on the apartment next door and woke me up with lots of banging and crashing. Thank god there is only another week of construction left.

KrisKenny · January 2012

-My office STINKS like fish right now because of the jerk who likes to bring in smelly foods to eat for lunch. We have no windows so it's not like we can just "air out" the office.

-My FI fell down the stairs last night and bruised a few ribs. Now, I know I shouldn't be upset, but I think it was because he had a few to many to drink. We have a sheet put up across the doorway to keep the heat from going upstairs and he "got tangled up in it and fell" So, today he's at home and wicked sore. Sorry, I don't have the paitents for stupidity.

-Another rant on FI: He was supposed to get someone to cover him for Sunday at work. I've been telling him for the last month. Needless to say, no one is available anymore so I will be going to the food tasting with my niece/MOH. Not too bad, but I just wanted him to be involved in something with the wedding.

This was exactly my problem! I either get fifteen calls one day when I already have a sub job or NONE at all. Super frustrating!

My postdoc walked into work 3 hours late. I have him the look of "WTF are you doing?" since we have surgeries to do today and he just said "sorry, I worked late last night so I figured I'd just come in late today." Well, surgeries are now behind thanks to him.

KrisKenny · January 2012

My Vent: My post was eaten!!!! So, I'll type it again, much shorter version this time.

-It stinks in my office like fish because of a co-worker and we don't have windows to air out the office.

-FI waited to long to look for someone to cover his shift for Sunday, so I will be taking my MOH/niece to the food tasting. This was the one thing he would be contributing input towards the wedding (except the honeymoon).

-FI drank a few too many last night, tripped over a sheet we have hanging to cover the doorway and fell & bruised a few ribs. So, he's home from work today. He didn't work (painting) last week because they had nothing lined up and now he missed today. No work = no pay. I also don't have sympathy for his own stupidity of hurting himself. He should have gone to bed when I did.

midgetthemighty · January 2012

Oh my goodness Julianna, what happened? I'm so sorry!

daria24 · January 2012

I have to add another vent-my FMIL just added ten more people to the guest list. We were hoping to have about 75 at the wedding...we are up to 112 on the guest list! I'm just not-so-secretly hoping that since our wedding is a Friday night, many people won't be able to make it!

Shanee18 · January 2012

We were forecasted to get about 4-6 inches of snow today, followed by a rain/sleet mix. Given that I work in a super small school, I assumed it would be a given snow day if the forecast was correct. I woke up at 5AM this morning just because I was nervous that I HADN'T gotten the call about school. Finally at 5:30 it was on the news that we had a delay, and at 6:20 I got the call that school was cancelled. If it is blizzarding at 5AM, why do you need almost an hour and a half to decide to call off school? It boggles my mind. I live pretty close ro the school (20 minutes) so my commute isn't bad, but I know we have employees who drive about an hour.

Poor planning on the part of the school district. And, almost every other local school was cancelled at 5am.

kaitlyn142 · January 2012

I had my performance review at work today. There is a whole lot of my current situation that is an absolute mess beyond my control, but still negatively effected my rating. Plus I was given a number of utterly impossible goals to cover for the fact that a member of my team is completely useless. The worst of it is, we're getting reorganized again this year! I will very likely not have a job after June, so going through all this just feels so pointless.

KOHLS ATE OUR REGISTRY.

Seriously, I am so angry about this. FI and I went to Kohls on Saturday to set up our first registry, and after setting everything up on their computers we had to wait in line for 20 minutes at customer service to get a scanner - and they were all dead!

We carved out time last night to go register, and actually had a REALLY great time. Everything went really, really well.....until we handed in our scanner at the desk, tried to print out a copy of the registry to verify items, and discovered that somehow, the scanner didn't ACTUALLY add anything. It scanned things just fine, it added quantities perfectly, it just didn't send any of it to the main computer.

Don't get me wrong, it was a LOT of fun....but if I wanted to replay the exact experience, I'd have deleted the registry myself. We're talking to a manager when we go in next, and informing him or her of what happened, and that this is the last chance for it to work at all or we're just not setting one up there, period.
