Ah yes, but I would so much rather scoop cat poop from the litter box than pick up warm poop in a bag with my hand. I really love dogs, but I really fucking hate picking up dog poop. We aren't likely to get a dog until we have a yard, and DH will have to take on pooper-scooping once that happens.
Meh. To each their own. I'd rather pick up poop the moment my dog shits than live in a house where my cat's shit sits in a box for hours.
Also, a general GDI because I bought this expensive D&G Primer from the Sephora in Vegas but I didn't open it until I got home. I took it out of the box and it's practically empty! I never check boxes and now I'm pissed because even though I can return to my store here, it's sold out online and it's going to be a pain in the neck to try to get it with my discount. Ugh.
I'm still waiting for the cable guy that I wss waiting for yesterday when I posted about him in the Monday Bitchfest thread. If I'm still waiting for him on the WTF Wednesday post, I'm going to freak out.
I am really sorry if this makes you mad, but I laughed out loud when I read this. That mother fucker!!

The twatwaffles that I encountered today were the fucking tiny black ants on the floor in the locker room at the hole-in-the-wall YWCA that I joined to swim laps.
I hate ants, and when I see groups of them, I get goosebumps and feel them all over me. Ants. JFC.

Home Depot includes removal and haul-away with their delivery + installation package. I think most appliance places do.
I think we're going to go to a local place down the road and hope to negotiate.
If they won't do it, see if there's an appliance recycling shop nearby. We have one here that picks up older, broken machines for a pretty small fee (sometimes free, if it's in good enough condition that they can sell it outright) and they'll either use it for repair parts or they'll fix it and sell it. Or if there's a Habitat for Humanity store, they sometimes do that kind of thing too.
My TW is freaking Mardi Gras. Everyone is off, and since we live right outside of New Orleans, everyone is drinking and partying and places are closed so I'm basically stuck at home with a crabby child and irritated husband. Ugh! And even the weather sucks! It's not even 50 degrees! So unseasonably cold for southern LA. Maybe we'll bundle up and go for a walk.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Blow off some steam on the sidewalk!
My twatwaffle is real estate in my area. H and I made the mistake of looking at Redfin this weekend thinking, hey, maybe it's not so bad out there, maybe we can buy a house soon. The only single-family homes under $800K in our area are teardown-level fixers and 700 sqft bungalows. And those go for about $700K. FML. I'm thinking more and more that I won't be able to own a home here until I'm 40+.
I'm in the same boat, with exactly the same numbers for home prices. Our rental is pretty good so we're not going anywhere yet but when we do, we'll have to make the big burbs vs. city decision. *Cries silently*

At least you have the burbs decision. My city is one big, neverending city-burb, where each mile you move further away from work equals an extra 20 minutes in traffic every morning.
The TW in my life right now is my husband's boss. His hours were basically cut to nothing after he was told they had plenty of work. He had another job lined up but went with this one for stability. We will be fine but it sucks.
Today was going great then I got to my statistics class and then it was a big "fuck me". I had a test last week that I failed. I got a 67. I was shocked to see that grade because I knew all the answers and felt great about it. Well, the test said "round to 3 decimal points as needed" on the front page. I assume that this means when you need to fucking round, round. NO. Apparently not. It means if the answer is 16 you write 16.000. I lost a TON of points over that shit. I mentioned it to the teacher that it seemed pointless because 16=16.000. He disagrees and is maintaining the grade. WTAF!? I would have gotten an A if this stupid shit didn't happen. Thanks bull shit for dropping my A+ to a B-.
Mine is the heating in this building. I get that it's cold outside, but does it need to be freezing here too? I can't wear gloves because I need to type.
I'm really tempted to buy a pair of these and bill my work. Not really, but it would be nice...
I type with gloves on all the time. Usually just thin glove liners. I used to use fingerless gloves. That might work for you.

Talk to your adviser or department head. If your answers are correct and you can prove your work then there is no reason for such as shitty grade. Did anyone else in the class have the same issue? If so, then you definitely have a case for adjusting your grade due to poor wording on the professor's part. I have gotten questions thrown out in the past when over half the class got the question wrong because of poor wording.

I guess he mentioned it in a previous class that I missed that he requires answers to be in that format. The weird thing is he didn't expect it on the first exam or any of the quizzes or homework, so I don't understand. I spoke to an advisor after class and they are going to "get more information" and come to a decision. I was surprised though because this teacher is usually levelheaded and reasonable. Someone pissed in his cheerios this morning or something. And yes, most of the class failed. The average was a 70, but he says someone got a 97 so it "was obviously clear enough". He thinks a 70 is a good average.

Edit: add
I'm surprised that a statistics teacher would be teaching you to put everything at 3 decimal places instead of focusing on sig figs.
Also, if most of the class failed, he definitely wasn't doing his job as a teacher.
Also, seeing as this is a statistics class, does he give you standard deviation and mean, not just average?

yeah, no. Get about 3 or 4 people together and then fight this. It's college. The only way most people pass is because of curves. He should at least curve the fucking thing.

I was also surprised. It seems so pointless to just write random 0s all over the place. The other students I spoke to had the same issue as me. We got the right answers just didn't write 0s all over. lol no he gives up the average and median grades.
Sorry you are having a rough go. I know how all of that feels. I've been feeling VERY shitty about my weight/size lately. I just signed up for some yoga classes this month, and I'm going to start to get back into running once the sidewalks defrost a bit. Negative bank account, I feel your pain! I've been holding back on groceries because I'm afraid the bank machine will say "insufficient funds".
Thanks @erin2021, Since I've been TTC I've really let myself go (stupidly assuming) I'd get pregnant right away like I did with DS. If this cycle is a bust then I'm going to start running again and try to get back to my pre-pregnacy weight. Carrying this extra fluff around has really effected my self esteem and sex life
I went grocery shopping a month ago, had a whole cart of groceries and found out my account was in the red. My account was going to be positive at midnight (paycheck). They wouldn't let me write a check so I had to hand my whole cart over. I was in tears. None of it was frivolous stuff. Everything was for my son. I felt like a failure. I know this seems like an overreaction but that was the kind of day I was having.
Never feel like a failure. Money problems happen to everyone. A year and a half ago, my husband was forced out of a job. Money was already really tight because I had to have major repairs done on my truck. I sat looking through our bills for two days trying to figure out what bills could be skipped and what amounts we had on credit cards so that we could pay our rent, buy gas so I could get to work and still make sure MH, our cat and I had food. It was terrifying but things have greatly improved now .
Sparkly your post sounds exacly like my life a few months ago (DS is 18 months now and is making a lot of sleep progress, so hang in there).
My TW is my sister's boyfriend. I'm really not fond of him (there are a LOT of reasons for this but I won't get into all that). He has zero respect for my rules when it comes to DS and thinks he can just ignore me and do what he wants. Today we were over for dinner and we were just waiting for it to finish cooking. For some reason he decided this was a good time to take out this massive chocolate chip cookie (like bigger than your hand). He proceeds to offer DS some. I say no, he can have some after supper but not before. He goes ahead and gives some to DS. I speak to my sister, she reluctantly tells him not to give him anymore. Next thing I know he is offering DS another piece. Again I tell him no, and again he ignores me and breaks of a chunk which he hands to DS. I really had to restrain myself (this is not the first time he has done something like this). I of course had to be the bad guy and take the cookie from DS and then we left (without dinner). My sister is pissed (at me, not him). Poor DS ended up having to wait to eat an extra hour past our regular dinner time, which resulted in about 30 minutes of tantruming, and I alternate between being livid and feeling guilty.
thanks! I'll take any shred of hope I can get!
Ummm WTAF with your sister's BF though? I would be so pissed! Her response to the behavior isn't appropriate either. Sorry you have to deal with that.

My twatwaffle is getting the flu during my FW. I've had a fever since Saturday and I will never be able to pinpoint my o day let alone do it during my FW. I just bummed because I had high hopes for this cycle.

Tw's! Me for skipping temping the last week. I was doing vaginally but got pisses off with it. Then I got a UTI and went away for the weekend so I was like ehh, fuck it. Now I'm a week off and will try to guess my o date. My fault but still.
Another tw is mh. He gets pissy for no fucking reason and doesn't want to talk about it. Not sure when he'll learn talking about it is better but his problem! If I try to coax it out of him he just gets more pissy. Ugh, men.
