TW Tuesday

[summergirl1211]

Anyone have any TWs they want to vent about today? 

[cbear]

My house for not cleaning itself! I'm going to have to do major cleaning after I'm off at noon- or maybe just me for being a bum this weekend and not cleaning more!

Also, my car door for getting in the way of my head

The weather.

I know...I live in New England. It's winter. We are going to get snow and ice, and freezing temperatures...

But shit...I have four foot (at least) snow banks surrounding my driveway and with the last two storms over the last two weeks I have been cooped up waaaaaaaayyyy too much with Henry. Not to mention the fact that we have subarctic temps so even when it's not snowing we don't want to be outside. I was actually excited to get us in the car, drop Henry off at my sister's, and go to work today. As much as I can't stand my job right now, Henry and I needed a break from each other.

Our neighbor for backing into DH's car last weekend. We were getting our driveway pressure-washed so DH moved his car and parked it across the street in front of our next door neighbors. Well idiot neighbor pulled straight out his driveway and right into DH's car. He wasn't apologetic at all and tried to blame DH for parking his car there. Umm how about you check your rear-view mirrors??

The kid who slammed my car with their door this morning. I get it, kids just aren't as aware as they should be. But damn, she hit it so hard I felt my car move. Some days I wish I had an old beater car just to take to daycare so things like this didn't happen.

laurski81, I'm sorry. You guys have really taken a beating the past few weeks! It's so weird that we only have about 2 inches here in MN but everyone else is overwhelmed by snow.

Just think though, less than 3 months until you can drink wine again!

My boss. She got "stuck" in Miami for three days and doesn't have a flight back yet. She's emailing half stories and has no idea what is going on but wants to be involved in every single conversation there is. It's annoying. If you want to go fucking play with your boyfriend and stay a few more days on vacation, that's fine, but don't try half assed to keep up with email and act like you know what's going on.

She is the most self centered person I have ever met. When I was out sick with the flu, and the with Tyler, she was harassing me saying that I needed to be on email (no I am on PTO with a sick kid and I have the flu). Every conversation gets turned back to her and her dog. She is 37, single, parties every weekend, and any time a conversation is not about her, she changes it to make it about her. She is so annoying. I even have a meeting with her boss today because I need to give feedback for talent review coming up, and I don't even know what to say. I am so annoyed with her right now.

This. I just want to go out places. I was all set to venture out today and go pick up dog food and DD decided screaming was a better choice. Sad that my life has come to being upset about not going to buy dog food.

Reflux
If you try and hurt by baby I will go momma bear on you. I am hoping her random large spits have been a fluke. Way to make helpless little babies feel bad.

[mrsplaydoh]

Weather here too. Annnd i just heard another 4-6 inches on Thursday. Awesome.

My project manager. There is a conference call that just started at 10:30... I didn't know what the meeting was really discussing until I called in. And she wanted us (2 designers) to start the meeting by reviewing the overall design changes since our last presentation.

Thanks for telling me that AS I CALL IN, so I'm not prepared for the meeting. Of course I'm in MN, so the other designer, in VA (who was brought on the project when I moved) has taken over presenting my stuff because the PM is there and asked her to share her screen and is directing things from there... whatever. I'm done.

I know she (other designer) doesn't want to take over, but I'm so done being treated like a secondary designer just because I am physically in another office. I've been left off numerous emails in the past few weeks even though I'm supposed to be the lead designer now.

[trixi282]

Ugh can I also add clients. We're on a call right now... discussing our last submission as we head into final documents (like for construction) and someone started asking about changing the plans... like really changing them - REARRANGING A CLINIC!

Seriously people?? You've been seeing these plans for almost a year, we just did a huge re-design a few months ago, and NOW someone decides to bring up changes. NO. Absolutely not.

Thankfully someone told her no (on the client side) but really? Why in the world would you not say something before we head into construction documents?!?! I hate people sometimes.

I'm going to nominate a random comment on facebook. One of my friends from HS had her baby at 27 weeks. He just turned 1 month and she brought a stuffed animal to take a photo with. One of her friends (i think it was her SIL) commented that she shouldn't have done that if her older boys take that stuffy to school because viruses can live for 24 to 72 hours on the fur. She said that she washed it over the weekend and the nurse approved it. The friend wouldn't let it go, she responded with I dont know why the nurse would allow it. I felt so bad for my friend. I wanted to jump in with a response because you could see that the animal wasn't touching the baby and what does this girl think that the viruses are magically going to jump from the stuffed animal into this baby's body? I didn't say anything because my poor friend is already in such a stressful situation I didn't want to make it worse.

[trixi282]

Ugh, somethingcleverer, I would just respond with something generic like, "I don't see a problem if the healthcare providers approved it. I'm sure they know what they're talking about and wouldn't approve anything if it was a risk." And then add some additional cute note about the baby.

People are so clueless and rude sometimes!

I will friend her and say something. What a twat. People don't get their whole bodies sanitized when walking into the nicu, visitors have more germs than that bear.

My mother!

She hasn't talked to me in over a week because she is mad that I signed up to do a St. Baldrick's fundraiser and will be shaving my head on March 14th! Get over yourself lady it is just hair and MY hair at that. She refuses to share or comment on any of my links and has been having my dad tell me what she could very easily pick up the phone and tell me.

My FIL. When DH was deployed (before we met) FIL opened several credit cards in DH's name and put himself as an authorized user. We thought we had closed all of the accounts, but I just discovered we missed one. It has a sizable balance. DH and I are both pissed. We told FIL we wanted all the accounts closed. Now that we're house hunting our credit rating is even more important. DH is going to drive the 90min to confront FIL and close the account.

Whoa, I'd be pissed sarahandeddie! That is so shady! GL to your H. I hope he tells your FIL off.

So she's mad because you decided to cut your hair and she doesn't approve, even though it's for charity.... I realize a shaved head is somewhat drastic, but who cares that much?!

And I also wanted to make a stupid comment to say "Hey, you'll look like your avatar after you shave your head!"

Seriously I don't know why she is so upset about it. That's pretty childish. It's hair, it will grow back!

Thank you ladies, I completely agree and yes it may seem drastic to most but to me it's not a big deal. People pay more to see a woman shave her head and it's for childhood cancer research. We are honoring the 3 year old daughter of a fellow law enforcement officer that my husband went to the academy with and it's very close to my heart!

Haha yeah I can't figure out how to change it on mobile and I haven't logged into this on the computer

Thank you, we are honoring the daughter of another police officer that my husband went to the academy with. I am excited to see the turn out, my husband is shaving his head as well for her!

I'll continue the theme of my lyfe with my TW father.

The man who couldn't be bothered to call us for 6 weeks and is never interested in interacting with Lillian--this man--has just "called dibbs" on visiting for her birthday this year.

He wants to be here for her birthday, I'm guessing so he can ignore her until he's leaving, take 20 photos in 5 min, and post them all on FB to show how awesome he is.

[MissMusic]

candcmommy you go girl! A very brave move for a good cause!

F that noise. I foresee lots of birthday plans in your future. Ones that involve zoos and parks. All day. Want to join? Fine, keep up. Want to split off and do your own thing, Dad? Fine, not calling to let you know we're leaving.
He makes my blood boil for L.

Yep I agree MM, let him know that you guys have plans and he can tag along but he will not run the show!
