My sister randomly texted me and our parents to GTG for dinner Sunday. It's not COMPLETELY out of the blue, we do have lunch or dinner or whatever here and there for no reason, but this just seemed especially out of nowhere. In the back of my mind I think she is going to tell us she's pregnant. She just got married in the fall and I think they had talked about waiting a little while but, who knows. It just seemed odd and I don't know... It'll probably be nothing lol.
Not really a confession, but I just keep thinking about it.
I was selfishly happy/ not really happy but smug that my BFs other bridesmaid bailed at the last second on the bridal show we were all supposed to go to.
I don't like her at all, she keeps bailing on wedding plans and insinuating that I should just take sick days to do dress shopping stuff during the week because she works saturday mornings and needs her afternoons to "do other stuff" Here's a plan: be a good bridesmaid or at least a good friend to the bride for once.

I'm also irrationally annoyed at my boss this week. She took a very short day on Monday for her birthday, which is fine, but our department is seriously lacking right now and I think she should have seen that and stayed (plus she was sick for another day and a half this week, which, obviously you can't predict or whatever and I felt bad, but I think it was just cuz it was all in one week I was going a little crazy.) My department right now consists of my boss, a girl that's been there for a few months that never had proper training and really has no clue what she's doing, but tries, a guy who just started 2 weeks ago, and me. I just started back a few weeks ago too after a three-year break so I, admittedly, am good at my job, but the software has changed in that three years which I am still learning. It was just frustrating. It was like the blind leading the blind.
My FFFC: I can't help but judge people who say they don't read. I understand if you don't have much time for it at the moment but just in general saying you don't like reading is so completely foreign to me and I absolutely can't relate.
On the flip side I absolutely don't judge what people read though.

I like reading and there are a couple things I think I would enjoy, but meh. That's a lot of work. I have the internet now. There's reading involved.

I really do not enjoy reading. At all. I will read a sentence and immediately start to feel tired. I also have a hard time focusing on any book. I've had to re-read pages before because I couldn't remember what I read. It's just not fun for me.
But you keep judging. Because something is foreign to you does not mean you get to judge others for not doing what you do. I don't get that line of thinking.

Reading online counts as reading for me. I especially like to waste time reading random links people post on FB that normally get me all riled up and afterwards make me ask myself why in the world I clicked that link.
I'll be sure to consult you in the future when I need to know if what I'm reading "counts".

You mean everyone doesn't enjoy the exact same things?!?

I totally used to side-eye my husband about this bc reading is so important to me. And then he finally explained to me that he had some learning disabilities that make reading very difficult for him - he has to read things three or four times to absorb it, and that is tedious enough for work that he just doesn't get any enjoyment out of it. It still makes me sad, but I have stopped judging him for it.
ETA: The only reason I cared re: him was because of wanting to encourage my kids to read. I really couldn't care less about anyone else. My BIL hates reading and I couldn't care less.
I'm a librarian but never participate in any of the book clubs here. I do like to vote in the polls though. Clicky clicky.
Have you read most of the books and don't like book clubs? Or don't want to read the books? I think I would only do a book club if it was mainly a wine club with books on the side.
I have no interest in reading them. Not enough pictures. <----semi-serious
The other day my H and I went to dinner at Olive Garden. I was starving and are a ton. Well when I asked for another basket of bread (my H ate a bunch too, I wasn't eating it all by myself) the waiter assumed I was pregnant and said "gotta feed the little one too!" And pointed at my stomach. Usually I would be offended and correct him, but I just went with it and laughed.

WTF? We ALWAYS get more bread and if some asshole suggested I was pregnant because of it the only tip he'd get on that bill would be "Never suggest a woman is pregnant if she is not in labor at that very moment."

I guess I was in a particularly good mood that night. I was a little shocked though because I have a pretty small frame and don't look even slightly pregnant. Especially pregnant enough to suggest that I'm pregnant. It did make him bring the food faster though. So maybe that's why I was okay with it.
