@climbingbrideny Is she the one you were telling us about interviewing just like 6 months ago? And she's already calling in more than once? That's not good....I never call in until my 1 year, and even then I do it once per year.

@jenna8984 - I hired her in February or March, I think. It's definitely not good. She's taken a lot of sick time and she hasn't even been here a year. I'm going to have to talk to her, and I hate when my employees make me do this!

If you weren't so far away, I'd totally be your assistant. In exchange for lots of cakes for DH.

I would totally hire you. And send you home with cheesecake every Friday.

Of course, you know I wouldn't get any work done because I'd be Knotting all day, right? But at least I'd show up every day (says the girl who got yelled at for not taking time off work for her wedding)!

I did something similar to you. Two friends I used to be closer with (childhood friends) were in town for the holidays. I made plans with both, they bailed, said we'd catch up later. Since they always flake and I'm tired of feeling like I'm the only one who cares to see them (not the other way around) I decided if they wanted to see me they would. They didn't. I had photos for them as Christmas gifts. I'll be using the frames now for my personal use and I'm done trying.

On similar news. My mom was ranting about how my half sister couldn't be bothered to visit (an hour trip) for Christmas for the third year in a row but she was still sending her and two oldest (17 & 18) kids gift cards. The youngest kid (8) came with my half brother. So I had a heart to heart with my mom. 1. I doubt those kids will ever see the gift cards. 2. If they don't care enough to come see you why continue sending stuff. The last Christmas they were out my nephew got a $50 amazon gift card. He opened it and mumbled "Oh, that's all?". I wanted to punch the ungrateful tool. Anyways, my mom agreed and said this was the last year for them getting anything (Christmas and Bdays). We hardly agree, but I was glad she seems to be taking a stand. People like that, relatives or not, piss me off. Plus the kids are old enough they could make a trip to see their grandparents but they won't.

@l9i Same thing happened over here! My brother constantly tells my grandmother that he will go visit 2 hours away and then blows her off and breaks her heart. I called to thank her for my Christmas card/ check and she said that since my brother never bothers to thank her, she's definitely done with ever giving him more gifts.

It really is sad. My mom is very much the type "Family is family" and you must love them no matter what, etc, etc. I'm very much the opposite. Family is who you make it. If people like my brother (in this case my half sister and kids to my mom) treat me like shit over and over then I have zero willingness to communicate with them, family or not. For me mom my this is a big deal, but I hate to see people take advantage so I'm happy. My dad is like me and would've stopped a few years ago.

I do not feel bad for putting FBIL off. FSIL got him an iPod for christmas. They have a laptop with a CD drive, the cables they need, and instruction booklets that came with everything.

He does not want to rip his own CDs and put them on his iPod himself. He also does not want to learn how to set up his own XBox subscription, on his xbox that he uses every day. Doesn't think he can figure it out.

Motherfucker figured out how to play Destiny with no input from us. Went up SIX LEVELS IN LESS THAN AN HOUR, figured out TONS of shit about the game (we've had the shit for over a month and I'm still like "What are them... balloon lookin'... shooty robot things? Sharks? Shanks? I don't know but I like to punch 'em."), but doesn't want to bother figuring out how to use his fucking iPod himself because he doesn't think that he can. FSIL doesn't think that she can either.

NOTSORRY bitches but I am going to take my sweet time on this and hope that you figure out how to do this yourself, because you're not doing shit else right now.

This!! My whole family does this and it drives me insane! I literally typed all of my brother's papers from the time he was in 7th grade until he got his associates degree in college because he was too lazy to figure out how to type. I still have to fill out his fafsa forms and other things he's too lazy to teach himself to do.

I gave my brother's new cell phone number to a debt collector.

He's constantly running from them, changing his number every 5 seconds to avoid them, and usually I play it off when they call like I have no idea what his number is or how to get in touch with him, but after 3 calls in a row, I broke down. And I don't feel bad about it. Eek!

Confession: I wanna keep these little babies.

I got put into a gift exchange on FI's extended family's side, and FI nor I got any gift or even a thank you for what we gave. We said we wouldn't participate next year. I probably will just spend my Christmas with my family kthanx.

I used to like his family but everyday there are more and more reasons to hate them.

jenna8984 · December 2014

@larrygaga that sucks! It was awkward at my in laws on Christmas. It was just the 2 of them and us and we gave them gift cards. Then they told us they couldn't afford to get us anything and they got in a fight in front of us about how they couldn't turn the heat up because they can't afford it, and they already owe DH's grandma money for filling the oil tank. DH and I were just like wow, this is so sad. Not because we wanted gifts, but because we would have given them money or heating oil instead of gift cards if we had known they were in that situation.

Laaaame. We've switched to random exchanges for that reason - "give one, get one."

FI said my cat lady starter kit collection would be complete. Sophie and Schultz would NEVER forgive me.

Yeah I get that. I don't think Callie and Neffie have forgiven me for bringing in Artie yet.

beethery · December 2014

We're working on getting FI's bestie to take one. He is a secret softie and loooooves cats, so he might be leaving with a new baby. Once he's done helping FI with the truck. It decided to act shitty the whole hour and a half drive home, we're about 20 minutes from home now so more pics to come.
