Whines, Vents, Rants go here (WR or not)

MeaghanandMichael · February 2010

Well I am in a craptastic mood this Monday! Any one want to whine with me about stuff?

Right now I am about to rip my hair out over people who will NOT pick their menu for a March 13th bat mitzvah. Can you imagine being that close to your wedding and not have picked you menu? I am having a heart attack for them but they seem to really care less.

Oh I have one: FI's company was acquired by another company. He works for an airline and made base salary plus overtime. Well--new company says supervisors and above can no longer work overtime--so he is making base pay only (which, for the record, is peanuts!). New company keeps assuring them that they will get a new, increased salary with retroactive pay..but its been two months and these bills aren't getting any easier to pay!

ARGH! Happy Mondaty!

jwatts23 · February 2010

oh good, I was feeling like I was the only one about to freak out on Monday!

I know its bratty to even vent about but I guess this is the place to post it. My birthday is Tuesday and I had plans for this weekend that fell through a few weeks ago. Saturday is coming up soon and I cant seem to think of a good plan or get people to commit. I have a sneaky feeling H is planning something but I am so nosey I want to be in on the details. I'm a total brat but it's making me cranky! I'm a planner and I like to have things figured out-- arrr!

jwatts23 · February 2010

And Meaghan- I would be freaking out too. I would want those details pinned down by now- that's just so frustrating because it seems like it will equal more work for in the long run!

Corey- yuck, I hate when people talk and don't act upon it. Waiting for something that big just doesn't seem fair!

MeaghanandMichael · February 2010

Corey - that really really sucks. I will send you guys good vibes!

JWatts - I am the SAME way. But, the last time I threw a little fit because no one was planning anything or caring about my birthday I ended up getting engaged. No one wanted to make plans, or step on Mike's toes since they knew it was coming so they were acting all weiird hahaha. Lesson learned.

jwatts23 · February 2010

hahhaha touché! I have a feeling Mike is planning something but when I was being a total brat last night asking for answers he just kept putting me off. So best case scenario, there is something planned. Worse case, there's not and we will wing it. I think I just need to let this battle go. Which kills me haha. But my sister and good friend asked to do margaritas earlier in the night Saturday so either way Jessie & Patron will be having a wonderful evening together ; )

LexiMS · February 2010

I am also in a crappy mood--I drove all the way out to my morning cliet (1.5 hrs in crappy weather) got there, and they told me the kid was sick and they were cancelling!

I addition, both my car and FI's have problems, I need to take mine in tomorrow and I am dredding it. FI hasn't brought his in b/c we never drive it and are worried it will be expensive...but now with mine out of comission we are stuck. Man, unplanned expenses are going to kill us this month!

Shazzie116 · February 2010

I feel like crap when I know I should be blissful and happy and newly married. Well, it sucks, because we never get to freaking see each other. H has Tuesdays and Wednesdays off, but he literally works all nights and overnights now. We're both pretty "meh" about our jobs right now, so it sucks to be spending all this time apart for stuff that we don't even really care about. It's incredibly frustrating, and I know I probably sound selfish because we've had a number of family tell us we should be "grateful to have jobs in this economy". Well, I understand that, but it doesn't make me hate my job any less.

/end rant.

MeaghanandMichael · February 2010

Lexi - I HATE car issues. We just spent a crap ton on new tires.

Shaz - let's just win the lottery and start our business. Yesterday.

jwatts23 · February 2010

aww Shaz, that is really hard. You have every right to complain. yes, you are lucky to have jobs like you said but you still have a right to feel the way you do!

Boo, any chance for H to change jobs or shifts? Hopefully things will get better but keep hanging in there. Happy vibes going to you, that must be really hard

abilifyme · February 2010

My whine for the day has to do with the scuttlebutt (at FI's company) about potential layoffs. He is in IT, so I am surprised he has done this well and avoided economy-related issues. However, the layoffs are sounding more and more inevitable which really sucks for those of us who have a mortgage (and WEDDING!) to pay for.

Oh and my period started today - 2 days early. Sucks.

coreywalk · February 2010

Layoff rumors are the WORST--it makes everyone unhappy, insecure and generally irritable

Fingers crossed for your FI, abilifyme!

jonchrissy · February 2010

All these job ones make me want to vent too!
FI hates his job and I hate it too, we have a LDR and he lives 2 hours away, he works at LEAST 1 night every weekend and we don't know his schedule until Tuesday. Which means we can't ever plan for anything. It sucks and he complains about it all the time. He's been looking for a job in Boston for over 2 years, keeps getting called in for interviews, second rounds, they call his references and then chose someone "more qualified". i am TERRIFIED our wedding will come and we'll still be living 2 hours apart.

Knottie6cd98948dcce890b · February 2010

Ow love that someone let me rant today as I have many things have are upsetting me.

I have a BM who could CARE LESS that I am getting married and does not want to do ANYTHING re: mck's wedding. Yes, I understand that my wedding is about 17 month's off, there's a lot to do and with work (which is insane), I have to get things done when I have time. I'd like to start looking for BM dresses and spend some time with my friends. Kill me. Also, BM is incredibly fussy when it comes to clothes and what fits her and what she will/will not wear. She'll make it hard, so obvi I want to look early TO MAKE HER HAPPY! UGH!

Shaz, can totally relate on the job front. I'm not the happiest but people keep telling me I'm lucky I'm employed at all. There are positions out there, but who knows...

Thank you. I feel so much better.

Whine - I ordered some vintage shoe clips on Etsy to go on my rather plain ivory wedding shoes, and I got them in the mail today. I ran upstairs to try them on my shoes. I put them on, and immediately, a rust stain appears. There is, apparently, rust on the back side of the aforementioned vintage clips, and it rubbed off on the shoes. So, now I have clips I can't use and rust stained shoes. Irritated.

Vent - The reason I am able to get the mail, find my shoes clips, and run upstairs to try them on in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday is because I got laid off a couple of weeks ago (as did 160 others). I have been trying really hard to stay positive and take advantage of this somewhat 'paid' time off by doing wedding stuff and exercising, but good God is it boring! This is the beginning of my third full week of unemployment, and I'm really starting to lose my mind. It's hard to stay totally positive when you feel like a bum.

And...done.

noodle_oo · February 2010

Oh, I'm sorry for you guys with work troubles! Good luck!

My vent: had a huge fight with FI over save the dates yesterday, which led to fighting about how he's not really helping me with this wedding planning stuff and our wedding is now less than 6 months away. I'm stressed and he was mean. :P

livandrich · February 2010

While I am psyched to be living in LA for 6 weeks doing a show and having a very easy schedule, and even more psyched to go to Disneyland for free tomorrow, I am sooooooooooo tired of living in sublets/show housing during contracts. The place we are in now has the grossest kitchen, and I literally just stopped doing dishes halfway through because I was going to cry if I had to touch one more nasty thing. I want MY apartment with MY Lenox dishes and MY clean kitchen. Wah wah wah.

CCBelle · February 2010

I don't really have any vents for today. Very strange, I know! But it's soooo nice out that I'm having a hard time complaining. It's amazing how good 45 degrees feels in February!

But Meg - I think you should just tell the family that if they don't want to choose their meal, you'll choose it for them. That'll show 'em!

Knottie6cd98948dcce890b · February 2010

Noodle - Feel you on the lack of help from FI

Wishin986 · February 2010

Liv - what part of LA are you in and what show are you doing?

Meaghan - winning the lottery is pretty much our life goal. ohh how much easier things would be with having that much money

fnordess · February 2010

For months now I've been trying in vain to get a decent job in Boston, and still nothing. I had a great job before we moved here in the fall, but I just can't get anyone to hire me. There are certainly ways in which being a SAH fiance isn't so bad (especially when wedding planning), but this won't be sustainable for much longer. Bleh.

Krystalynne21 · February 2010

Whine #1:I am taking the bar exam on Wednesday (round 2) and I am so sick of studying. I failed by 6 freakin points last time, and I am getting myself so GD stressed out, its not even funny. If I dont pass this time, I am about ready to give up. I dont have much of a social life, but I would love to just leave my son at home with FI and go for a drink with the girls.....

Whine#2: I applied for a job at the Disability Law Center on 2/5, and haven't heard anything yet....its the perfect job for me. I am not one to toot my own horn, but I fit the required/desired attributes to a T. I am dying for this job! I love my job now, but the pay is terrible, and like pp....I have a mortgage, wedding, student loans AND a child. I'll be so bummed if I don't get this job. Anyone have any connections

?

livandrich · February 2010

Wishin, I was actually thinking of you when we got here. We're on Weho at vista and sunset and DH is in Puppetry of the Penis at the Coast Playhouse on Santa Monica. Let me know if you want to go!! It is HILARIOUS. I get comps for certain days etc. Any recs for touristy things we should do? We're loving being on the other side for once, isntead of shoving tourists out of our way in NYC.

megandjay · February 2010

Our plans to move back to Boston just got put off for at least 1 more year. I miss my family and friends and I am sick of NYC (at least for today). I just want to move HOME. Stupid FI and his dumb career (I don't mean that, except today).

My Mom is not being helpful at all with wedding stuff. The least she could do is pick out her own damn outfit, instead of me having to dedicate another weekend to going up to Boston to help her, as if I am the parent or something, ugh.

Hope tomorrow looks better for you all too!

MeaghanandMichael · February 2010

Good luck Krystal!!!

NewportBride710 · February 2010

I'm suppose to fly to Boston tomorrow ( I live in Dallas ) and it's suppose to snow here, again! Snow isn't a big deal to me being from Boston, but you put a centimeter on the ground here and school is canceled, flights are cancelled, and people don't leave home! And we're only suppose to get an inch, at max 2! I just want to come home and try on my dress and finalize my wedding plans!!!!

Krystalynne21 · February 2010

Thanks Meaghan!!
