I don't really know what today is supposed to be...but..

What is making you mad today? Rant....

firsttimersluck · October 2011

I have to meet with a group for a group project today. I'm done with classes at 11am and live 30 minutes away from my college.. and they want to meet at 7pm.
*sigh*
That means I am going to hang around campus for 8 HOURS?!?!!? I only have SO much hw people... I'm super annoyed.

YoungDuo · October 2011

My mom is still making me mad. She and I have never really gotten along and now with my wedding coming up, it's been miserable. Between her not wanting to me to have a wedding because in her opinion I'm not "worthy" and me not inviting my brother's gf and her just being a total menopause/bi polar b!tch, she is an unpleasant person. Out of my entire wedding planning experience, she has been what has caused me the most pain and misery. I hate it bcause I want to share my fun and excitement with her but she could care less. Thank goodness my FILs and my BMs are super excited and are willing to talk wedding with me.

AmandaSC1988 · October 2011

One of the other interns sent out a “Thank you” for a interview for a real job email to the whole department. But she forgot that I was also on the department email, she didn’t mean to send it out to me, but it made me realize that they probably are just stringing me along at this internship. I have worked my butt off this summer and I have been super careful about mentioning that FI was in the navy… even making up white lies about how he was getting moved here next year as to not get a prejudice. This just makes me not want to be here...

I am going to start throwing out feelers in JAX this week. If anyone knows anything for an entry level MIS, let me know. I’d like to go with a large corp. so I don’t feel so bad when we have to PCS.

I am also super sad because I missed FIs phone call this morning. He was leaving for training for the next couple of weeks and won’t have any contact besides email. The voicemail message was so sad. =(

young- I am so... SO sorry. Since I just had my wedding two weeks ago ( YAY! I love my husband so so much!) I feel so protective over brides. I was so well taken care of. My sister babied me and kept my mom in check because I had the flu and didn't have the energy to handle the stress and anxiety of standing up in public with all attention on me (I don't like a lot attention, beleive it or not.. hah). Your mom is being a PITA. Mine was too. The whole week she just wanted to talk about her her her, how awful my dad is, blahblahblabh, and I couldn't talk to her about wedding stuff at all. The whole planning process she didn't ask how it was going ONCE. That's why you have fi (soon to be H) you two will now be your own family, you only need his approval and no one elses. You know what you're doing and your H is well aware of your worth and worthyness. Don't let her bring you down. Whenever she gets on it just say, "this isn't your day, this is ours. Stop making it about anything else" She needs to be put in her place. Need me to come over there? I'll do it.

Amanda- that sucks that you missed his call

I'm sorry.. Sad voicemails are awful

prejudices happen when you're military.

It's so crappy. People assume we are uneducated replubican Christians, and while some are, many aren't.
People also hate that we come and go, as if we WANTED to. One school I went to for a year I struggled to make friends and I asked a couple people why they aren't friends with military kids. I remember the exact words, " Why would we wanna be friends with people like you? You'll just leave anyway. Go make friends with each other. " It crushed me because that meant that people were not wanting me just because of a circumstance, not because they know ME. Remember that. It's not that people don't like YOU and your WORK, but that people are jerks about others' situations.

YoungDuo · October 2011

Haha FTL I would love for you to do it :-P I'm sorry your mom was the same way but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with a mom like this. It's disheartening but like you said FI is my family now and he always makes me feel better and cheers me up. My dad has actually been defending me which I'm so glad that he does but I feel bad because after I leave, he still has to be married to her and live with her and I don't.

crownsuperstar · October 2011

First- they need a punch in thre throat.

I am annoyed with people waiting to the last minute to get things done. My motto today is “procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.”

Oh and my pants are annoying me today as well. I am having one of my “fat” days and really wish I was at home wearing my yoga pants and a sweat shirt.

firsttimersluck · October 2011

crown-
TOOOOTALLY wearing my yoga pants today.

I feel you on this one! I hate when people act like what they need to get done trumps everything anyone else needs to get done.

crownsuperstar · October 2011

Color me jealous FTL!

Young- I am sorry about your mom. I am really happy that you do you have some great people that are excited. It is hard being excited and wanting to share things with the people but them not really feeling that excited for you. Chin up and guess what...you are about to be in your Happy Wedding Month in just one day!! YAY!

AmandaSC1988 · October 2011

First - Yea, I know, but it is Sooo so illegal for the company to do that. But to CYA they won't ever admit that it was the reason. Oh I also hate group projects... not because of working in groups but because I can't be at two places at once...I can't be at group project meeting and work at the same time.

YoungDuo · October 2011

Thanks Crown! I'm super excited about this last month! It just needs to fly by because FI and I are so ready to be married

And FTL, I am sooo jealous you get to be in yoga pants all day! It's cold and rainy here and I'm stuck at work!

amh04 · October 2011

My flipping harddrive crashed on my work laptop - so now I'm on my personal one 'termserved' in - which I HATE. I HATE IT! None of my documents are on there - my cheat sheets - reminder sheets - my documents. Not to mention ALL of my wedding stuff was on my work laptop! Our Tech guy said he'd try to save all he could but he didn't know how much it would be!

Ughh..
Not to mention - I've been in a funk lately and a lot of things FI is doing pisses me off to no end. I swear he does it on purpose.
OH! And my flipping bridesmaids are dragging there asses on finding dresses - they know I can't be there and I cant size them and order them here. I gave them 5 dresses to chose from and told them they have to pick and order by the end of this month or itll cost extra and I WONT pay extra. UGH. Magically after that email I got messages back! holy frankenstien!

Amanda - If you want to let me know what your looking for in a PM I can keep an ear/eye out for you. I'm down in Jacksonville so anything I can help with just let me know!
FTL - I wish it were cool enough for yoga pants. I love yoga pants.

CAB1217 · October 2011

Meh, I just wish whatever I have (cold. flu...) would go away. I feel weak and my throat hurts bad. That's all that is bugging me today.

KendallR10 · October 2011

My grandmother is driving me nuts. She keeps calling me about wedding crap.

My old CC is full of people that have no idea what is going on. I've called twice this morning to figure out what I need to do to transfer and they are no help.

And I'm annoyed with some military thing but I can't say because of OPSEC

Rethany · October 2011

I am actually having an ok day so far. I went to take the first exposure of the day and the machine wouldn't let me. It pissed me off at the time because I hate making patients wait. But now I am freakishly in a great mood. So I really can't complain. Young- I hope things get better for you so you can just enjoy the wedding and all the planning you've done!

Rethany · October 2011

Also, FTL- FI has been dreading wedding band shopping so I showed him the website you gave for the free tungsten rings. He totes didn't believe it. He was googling it trying to prove to me that it was a scam. (He failed btw) So we are going wedding band shopping on Sunday and if he doesn't like anything we see he picked some out on the website JIC. So thank you again

CAB1217 · October 2011

Aww, cute sig Spiff!

Ours shipped last Friday I think... so excited!

Rethany · October 2011

Thanks ladies

I got a few pics back from the photographer but won't get the rest back for a few more weeks. I'm excited to see the rest, and I'll make sure to post some.

FTL- I knew they weren't a scam. Can't wait to prove it to FI! haha

Megan0416 · October 2011

My MOH is making me really mad.

FI wanting to push the date back because his brother can't make it.
This sounds mean but his wife is pregnant and is due is March 5th. Our date is/was April 15th and his brother asked us to change the date so he can come. (They live in OR the wedding is in CT). I want him to be able to come, but we are getting a great price because we are having our wedding in April. Hmph!

divinemsbee · October 2011

FTL- I hate group projects so very much. I can count on one finger the number of groups I've been in that actually worked as a team and everyone pulled their weight. Argh.

One day, soon I hope, FMIL will not make me all stabby. So, we got the car back, finally. There's a little damage, some scratches on the dash and inside the top and some tears in the gasket that seals the trunk. She said she wants to pay to repair it, but those aren't things you can really repair, also, she doesn't have any money to do that. I'm fine with her not paying to fix it, stuff happens, we move on, but it's like she offers to pay for it knowing that FI's going to tell her not to worry about it.

She wrote him a thank-you note for using the car and he showed it to me. It was really nice (and she didn't have to write one), but then she gets off into this whole "I see things all the time, or read things and want to talk to you about them." Then CALL YOUR SON. He's the only one with a working cell phone he always answers. It's like she just can't help being all martyr-rific about him being farther away (she's in the same town I grew up in, we've visited 3 times in the past 6 weeks). We have cell phones and internet, just call or write and then you can talk to him to your heart's content. Don't try to make him feel guilty because he's busy and when he does call you, you don't answer. It's just so irritating, but I want to encourage him to keep communication open with his fam. It's easy for us to get sucked into mine; they're loud and loving, with tons of food and opinions, but I don't want him to resent getting sucked in.

Megan, where in CT are you getting married? I just got married in Hartford!

Have you put deposits on anything? I'm a fan of the ol' "life happens, you'll be missed" thing...cant just his brother fly out? One of H's GMs was in the same boat and his wife was missed, but I wasn't about to change anything, kwim?

Megan0416 · October 2011

Ugh We were literally going to put the deposit on the venue TODAY and he said something last night. I am sad because I have emotional attachment to the date. April 16th is our dating anniversary and we were going to get married on April 15th.

Why is your MOH making you really mad?
I agree with irish... If you try to work around every single person, you'll never get married... I undertand that money gets tight with a baby, and flying is complicated, but if his brother really wanted to come, he could, even if it means leaving mom and baby for a weekend. I had a few people ask if we could move our date and I had to say no because H picked and LOVED our date. He was NOT going to budge on that (I'm thankful we found a venue in September that had our date open :o) ) and all those people ended up coming regardless. I'm not saying that will happen here, but sometimes it all works out. Talk is over with your Fi, but if you love that date and plans are starting to be made.... I wouldn't change it. when are they wanting you to change it to? It's not THEIR anniversary that you will be celebrating fo rthe rest of your lives... just sayin'

Divinem- fo realz. This is why I'm in math. Because mathematicians can choose to work with groups or not... I hate being forced to ... uuuuugh. Oh well. Luckily it's a fairly easy class....
