Wednesdays. (OR THURSDAYS WOW SELF)

Inkdancer · May 2014

Wednesdays Thursdays (wow gj me) are weird.

I've had a tummyache today, so FI made me some alphabet noodles for dinner. (Don't judge, we're trying to eat everything in our pantry before we move.) I took like 3 bites and then noticed that my noodles spelled "SUCK IT". I went to show FI and promptly bonked my kneecap on a piece of furniture. Now it is enormous and purple.

How was your Wednesday Thursday?

smalfrie19 · May 2014

Its Thursday...

AddieCake · May 2014

Well, today is Thursday, and it rocked.

Blergbot · May 2014

It does feel like a Wednesday, what with the three day weekend and all. I'm incredibly bored. Later I will likely be uncomfortable and bored. FSIL is in town for a conference and we have to go out with her and her conference buddies...they talk shop the whole time and act like we're totally uninteresting when THEY are being totally uninteresting. Boo.

Inkdancer · May 2014

...Wow am I out of it. It is indeed Thursday.

Y'all, I am losing my mind being a stay-at-home future-wife.

I am curious about why it rocked? Let me vicariously have an awesome day through you!

HisGirlFriday13 · May 2014

I spent most of today convinced it was Friday. Long about 3 p.m. I realised my error. And I was sad.

amakayeb · May 2014

Second-to-last day of school here. I am exhausted. And I am bored and cranky because FI is on a fishing trip and I can't talk to him or skype him or even text/chat with him until next Friday...

SmileDamnit · May 2014

I was convinced yesterday was Thursday, so no judgement. That said, today has actually been a-okay so far (mani/pedi first & now sipping wine while my hair cooks out the gray at the hair salon). Ask me again tomorrow when I start the 9 day conference work stretch, though, and I'll definitely jump on the sucks band wagon.

I had a doctor's appointment today and it took twice as long as I thought it would. It was just a damn check up.

AddieCake · May 2014

It rocked because I got to spend all day dicking around here and in the Treehouse. And Lia's advice thread was a delight.

afox007 · May 2014

I thought it was Wed as well you're not alone. It's also been a shitty day for me too. FSS told me last night at 10 that he needed cake pops for class; I just got home from work, the store was closed, there was no chance it was happening. So I felt like a shitty fake mom this morning.

Then I procrastinated on my homework thinking it was Wed and now I have to work in an hour so I am screwed. FI line dried my work clothes and they are all dusty and gross, I'm having a bad hair day, and I found out we have to see FMIL this weekend.

I always budget like 2 hours when I go to the doctor even for routine shit because it always takes way too damn long to do simple stuff. Hope everything comes back smileyfaces, though.

That is an actual fact. Anyone who advocates for me eating 150 servings of mac'n'cheese = good in my books!

So yeah, today on the internet was great but today in real life was packing everything and eating weird combinations of food to try to get it out of the house.

Blergbot · May 2014

It's where all the old regs went after the mass exodus. It's on proboards.

jdluvr06 · May 2014

@inkdance I had plenty of time I was just hoping it would go faster. So much for free time. Lol. Like I need more of that.

cupcait927 · May 2014

I spent all day thinking today was Friday so that sucked. However, we got a pretty big new client at work so our boss told us to leave an hour early and proceed straight to the bar. Free drinks ensued. Not a bad way to end a Thursday that felt like a Friday.

Good luck on the conference!

And the bad day is getting worse. Checked the mail on the way to work and the job I really really wanted/needed finally sent a rejection letter. It was a government job and my mom who works for a different county got my hopes up telling me they are fast with rejection and slow on job offers so I figured a two month silence was a good thing.

beethery · May 2014

I have had a stupid couple of days, and I want junk food for dinner. Should I have 5 cheese pizza hot pockets or kraft mac & cheese?

I'm sorry! I will hope for you that this means it wasn't meant for you, and something better is coming your way!

Mac'n'cheese. I am not biased at all.

Mac & Cheese. With cut up hot dogs.

Sorry. That just means something better will come along!

Always mac and cheese.

My day was pretty shittastic at work. I had to actually, you know, work. So that was a bummer. And the developers at a certain major automaker's IT department are pissing me off royally by not knowing how to do their jobs (if you're a programmer, you shouldn't have to ask me what s.code is. Justsayin'.)
Looking up now... went to Kroger for wine and found organic mac and cheese on sale for a dollar (holla!) and just got home to find THREE Amazon deliveries including The Goldfinch. Andplusalso, FI went to the gym without me, leaving my evening free for 'roni, wine, and book clubbing. Momma likey.

I hate my office location, and some of the tenants. I am very annoyed with the new office neighbor we have. He is a behavioral therapist, and he does not give out any contact information to his patients. He also does not have a receptionist.

I know this because if he is not in his office when his patients show up for their appointments, my office door gets knocked on or I get approached in the hallway by people asking if I work for him, know where he is, know what his phone number is, etc.

The patients have all been very nice to me, and I have googled around looking for information on this motherfucker a few times because I feel bad for these people that he blows off. He does not have a working phone number listed, and his website domain is for sale.

I have an upstairs neighbor who is a chiropractor and I fucking HATE HIM. He has some kind of martial arts studio sessions when he's not cracking peoples backs, and shakes the whole building with a bunch of jumping around. It sounds like fucking operation dumbo drop upstairs almost every day from 1-3. Sometimes in the morning too, I'm guessing if he doesn't have any appointments. I have mentioned it to the maintenance guys when they come through and they're just like, "Yup, martial arts thing." They have not been there when he is catapulting elephants. It is frustrating.

Also, after I arrived at the office this morning, when I was walking to the bathroom I was bitchslapped by a really strong pee smell. Someone fucking whizzed in the main hallway and just fully unloaded their bladder in the side hallway that goes to the ladies room. It smells like a fucking urinal, and I guess the housekeeping crew didn't do anything about it because the carpet didn't get cleaned or anything today.

I want to move SO BADLY.

ohannabelle · May 2014

Daughter and her fiancé signed the lease on their apartment last week, and weren't expecting it to be ready till the 10th, but surprise. It opened up today. And they decided they could actually be ready to move in by....tomorrow.

So today was madness. Buying towels, sheets, shower curtain, kitchen things...But not too much, because in 3 months people will be giving them all the stuff they need tomorrow.

She raided my inventory and found a good set of old china and then found a sweet little antique table and chairs, but the tabletop was seriously effed up. Guess who got to tear it off and switch it out? Yep. Me. And the chairs had ugly upholstery, so guess who got to recover the cushions? Me, again.

Aaaand she found an upholstered bench that is now half done, but I just can't finish it tonight. I am done. I can do that in the morning.

My house looks like someone dropped a bomb in it. A frikking fabric and odd dishes and tools everywhere and weird furniture bomb. She must have dragged 8 different chairs up before she found two she liked.

This was just very poorly planned.

(Also, she is actually moving out. And I can't even think about how much I'll miss her. I would rather bitch about missing drill bits and badly cut fabric, or whatever. )

I spent the day side eyeing every third customer.

No you can't return power tools without a receipt for lines we don't even fucking carry.

Yes you must show identification to buy CO2 cartridges.

You have gold paint on your face, you are trying to buy more and you want me to hire you? Huffing has destroyed too many brain cells.

Yes I can kick your bigoted ass out because I like having other bilingual employees, in particular ones who know more useful (Mexican/South American Spanish and Vietnamese) languages than me (Swedish, Finnish, Russian, German, Portuguese), and hey guess what - I follow the damn employment verification, and even more horrifying, I'm first generation American on my Dad's side - oh, you're too stupid to know that term, it means my father was born in another country. Yes, that close. I look like an bigot based American ideal because my father is from Sweden aka Northern Europe.

I'm supporting my employee who is trying to keep your crotch spawn from drinking drain cleaner. Blocking them from grabbing bottles is not being a bully. Or from stopping them from throwing 12" galvanized gutter spikes at each other. Or licking the spilled cement. Actually, the only things he did to pisses me off was keeping your spawn from killing themselves and not throwing their assessment and yours out sooner.

Leaving your infant and now terrified toddler in your locked car while you get a deluxe mani/pedi will result in someone calling the cops, my guy on the forklift just saw it first. The cops don't care about the cost to fix your windows they smashed to get the kids out.

It's a Swiffer. You use them like a broom.

When you and your housemate decide to see if a bowling ball will break your newly repaired window, that's not our fault, you do have to pay for another repair.

If you are going to steal joint compound, try the little quart jar, not the 70 pound bucket that you can't even lift.

Buying full boxes of candy after asking if we sell marijuana plants will result in laughter.

I cannot cut a pretty house key blank to work in your chip key for your car.

Nope, we don't sell hammers. We sell everything except hammers. Just like any other hardware store.

A fender washer probably isn't a good cock ring. Yes, I know it says hardened. That's talking about the metal, not you.

Vinyl bathroom duct pipe won't work for a dryer. Because it melts. That's a fire hazard. It's actually against code.

If you ask me if you can use the cheap PVC pipe for fixing a gas line, you need to stay away from the gas line. No, you can't solder copper with leaking gas valve. Because you don't want to blow up your neighborhood.

If the damn swim team keeps having practice every single day at 5 pm so FI and I can't ever swim together, I may be tempted to do just that.

PrincessOfHavoc · May 2014

Oh I've been tempted a few times. But knowing my luck, I'd be horribly burned but survive. So that's why the store rule is if you ask how to fix a gas line, we will tell you nothing but to call the gas company. If you INSIST on buying, why yes, you do have to give us your name and address. We call the gas company for you.

People are bloody stupid gits if they think they can save a call to a professional for home repair.
