My dad was my boss at my company but no one knew he was my dad. Well Friday they laid him off saying they "couldn't afford him". I feel horrible for him because my parents just renovated their kitchen, put in new hardwood floors and just booked a vacation in May to New Orleans. Now he is telling me to prepare to lose my job because they company is tanking... I have two kids to feed and an unemployed husband. FUCK!

Sorry your dad was laid off and your job stability is rocky but I'm just wondering how was the bolded is possible. Are you saying not even HR knew you were related or your co-workers didn't know you were?
FUCK! My aunt died on Saturday, and I have a cracked tooth which has lead to a swollen face! I am in Super Bitch mode today and can't even hide it.
I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt!!
I've never had a cracked tooth but I can only imagine how much pain you are in
Is it too early for booze?!
Depending on what the dentist says, I might be heading home for a drink early today! It was bothering me on Friday, but I was too focused on trying to catch up with the site wide drama thread that I didn't call and get it taken care of.
Thanks, it has been a quick battle with brain cancer. She had been in remission for 5 years, and it came back about 6 weeks ago.

The owners knew. They needed help when the company first started and my dad told them I was able to start right away. So they hired me, but we didn't tell the rest of my co-workers, just so I wouldn't get treated any differently. They knew we knew each other, but didn't know how.

Wow. I'm not sure I could work under my dad and not have people know about it. Sorry again about your company.

It was hard to keep from people, but I only saw him once a month at works so it wasn't too bad.

shemarie82 I am sorry about your Aunt. And Ow! to your tooth. I hope you can get it taken care of quickly!
@erin2021 I am sorry to hear about you dad and now your job situation! Do you think this will end up bumping up when you guys are thinking about moving? Will that work for you guys?
My bitch... rude men. I drove DH's truck to work on Saturday night because he took my car (which is a whole other story in itself) and then it snowed alllll night. When I left in the morning my client's dad was giving me a hard time because the truck is two wheel drive, high center of gravity, no weight in the back. All valid points I know; but I am also not a moron. I have driven in the snow all my life. I even used to drive a truck in the snow all the time. You don't have to act like I'm going to be in danger on the road.
It took me a while to get home but I made it just fine. I texted him when I got home and said "It took me this long to get home but I didn't die. I really do know how to drive in the snow."
He texted me back "Well I never questioned your driving skills but the old saying is women drivers no survivors."
The librarian wants me to move my website from GooglePages to the main library website. I can't deny he has a point about it all being consistent. However, most of my students are computer newbs, I'm lucky they can find the current site. And I don't think he understands how much time it will take to transfer everything over.
Compared to some of you guys, this is nothing more than a minor annoyance though.

Jerk.
My husband has an interview tomorrow, so we my fingers are crossed it all works out! This wasn't a permanent job, but it was something for right now. It definitely gives us the push we need, but it's still pretty scary!
P.s- I'm a pretty recent driver because I loathe driving, but I am by far a better driver then my husband! lol! I hate when men say women are awful drivers!
Oh my fuck nuggetrn "women drivers no sirvivors" You're better than me, I would have lost it!
I was pissed. I texted him back and told him he wasn't helping his case any. In general I actually rather like him so this was sort of unusual for him. I was cordial but he definitely knows I wasn't impressed with his attitude. I am at work again this morning and he is being extra nice, lol.
I'm pissed at the world today for no good reason. I slept like shit, and alternated all night between waking up from nightmares and waking up having hot flashes. It's been almost two weeks, the fucking hormones can settle down any time now.

shemarie82 I'm sorry about your Aunt, my sypathies. I hope the tooth feels better soon.
I had a rough saturday night, though I tried to smile through it, we were invited for dinner at a friends house for their birthdays. I didn't know we weren't the only ones invited (we often have dinner just with them) and they had a few friends come over after we showed up. One of them had a 2 month old baby. Gut punch. I wish my friend would have at least warned me, I know she knows we're doing ok since the loss, but a heads up would have been appreciated. Though I did get to cuddle him for a while, which was nice.

My tailbone hurts so much from falling on ice last night. Sitting at my desk really sucks. My coworkers are all sorts of nutty today. The past hour has been completely insane.

I did the same thing last week. I got out of the car after yoga feeling amazing, and fell hard on my knee. I stood and swore at the ice like a maniac for a good 5 min before I realized my neighbors were watching.
@wallflwr926 Sorry you fell, hope you heal up quickly.
Just got water bill from before my new tenants moved in and apparently our toilet problem when the house was vacant used a lot of water. $950 fucking bill. Holy shit! Now I have to pay the whole bill and try to get an adjustment after proving maintenance problem. I am not putting a lot of faith into the city of Houston.

Oh no! At least he gave you a heads up and can try to start finding another job! I hope your dad is able to get another one soon!

Sorry all you ladies are having shitty Mondays.
My bitch today is my head. I've been fighting a migraine since yesterday. It's not unbearable yet and I am working through it but come on brain, I'm sick of you hurting. I also have a huge document to format and edit and no motivation to do so. Is it wine time yet?

Thanks! Ya I think I have a few weeks to prepare, but I'm watching the door to my work like a hawk waiting for someone to come by.
Unfortunately it's the city we live in. I live right across from Detroit and it just seems the worse Detroit does, the worst we do.
I am seriously so sick of DH telling me that I am not pregnant yet because I am "doing too much" by temping and tracking. Yesterday, we hung out with our friends and their 4-month-old baby, and they both took his side. One of our friends said she got pregnant the month that they stopped trying, which is fantastic, but mind your own fucking business. It was like 3 vs 1 and I found myself trying to explain to all three of them why I needed to track my cycles. DH has been on this rant ever since they left because obviously one couple's experience completely proves your point.

My DH and friends were saying the same thing. My cycles have been longer the last few months and everyone keeps saying "stop stressing". My husband said I was getting obsessed with temping and tracking, but all I do is check in the morning, and that's it.
TTC has been stressful, but it's not taking over my life right now. Unfortunately not everyone knows about temping/charting and how important it is when TTC.

That's sucks, I'm sorry. How long have you been trying?
Just our luck, our garage door broke on Saturday afternoon (which included one of the windows shattering out as it tried to close on one side while the other side was stuck) and cannot be closed. So yes, we've had our garage door just sitting open for the last two nights (luckily our neighborhood is quiet and pretty safe and it hasn't been in the single digits temp-wise). So there is a lovely unexpected $1300 to get a new garage door. But the garage guys are coming to at least close it today and installing the new door tomorrow, so I guess my bitch will at least have a quick resolution.

What a horrible Monday, ladies! So sorry to hear all this stuff.
Especially very sorry to hear about your aunt & tooth, shemarie82. (hugs)
My very mild MBF is myself for waking up so early the past few days, instead of when I set my alarm to temp. I'm sure that it won't kill my chart, but the little open dots annoy me. I wanted to take it again at the right time, but I was too sleepy to wake up just an hour later again.
