WTF Wednesday 3/11

[littlemissmarla]

...and go.

[littlemissmarla]

WTF group of people at the gym. Why do you come together and never leave each other's side walking in a pack.

Also, why do you race to the equipment and engage in buffoonery? You are adults. Engage in buffoonery in the privacy of your home.

[sararl07]

Wtf car... My battery decided to die on me today and I was late ... Thank god it's spring break and most people are on vaca

That pic is super creepy

Wtf DH and I: why have we lived in 4 different states in 4 years and have moved 6 times soon to be 7? Who sells a house, builds a house, and then sells that house is less than a year to move cross county only to move back to where we were?

I feel like I would be so sad to build a house and then sell it.

WTF self. Get out of this funk. Such a busy weekend ahead but I cant seem to get motivated to clean/prepare/decorate for Q's baptism.

[isolemnlyswear]

Wtf self. When you bring in a sleeping baby in the car seat do not hit it on the crib when placing into the crib! You've ruined your own lunch with a very wide awake baby....

[dawnfire]

WTF boss. Someone from our admin office sends out info to tell people to sign up for the March of Dimes Blue Jeans for Babies, then when I just kindly remind people about it you tell me not to so I "don't make people feel bad about not doing it." Really? A reminder that it exists is not the same thing as begging them to do it.

[jnnfrrose6]

WTF work? That woman is not capable of being controller, assistant or otherwise.

[liziz]

WTF Boss - Why did you need to pick a week that life was really stressful already (H out of town, mostly) to remember that my "agreement" for pumping and not taking a lunch break expired. I was really hoping you wouldn't notice. I have no plans to change anything until she's done nursing.

So thankful for my advocate in HR, but I'm also sharpening up my resume. Things are not feeling very family friendly around here.

This is shitty. Is your company big enough to be covered under the laws?

For sure. The pumping (and the letter of the law) is no problem, because our company is freaked out about being sued.

It's more the working 7-3 with no lunch break and leaving at the stroke of 3 every day that is the issue. We have no WFH policy, so I can't say that I'll finish up with 30 min or an hour of work later in the evening.

The most depressing part is going from a $1600 mortgage to $3500 rent for 1/2 the space and no yard.

My jaw just dropped!

Is buying not an option?  I know that's as stupid expensive, if not worse, but just curious. 

[Leapinglizards]

WTF DD can you please keep your poop in your diaper just once. I am tired of changing your clothes multiple times a day. Also stop pooping six times a day. It's just not normal.

[soon2bmrsn]

WhyTF won't you sleep through the night, son? You are 3.5 years old. Stop coming into our room and refusing to go back to sleep until I lay on your bedroom floor.

WhyTF do you invite yourselves over during the week, ILs? I know part of the reason we moved was to be within 45 minutes of you but what's the point in coming down at 6pm on a Wednesday? I'm running on fumes at that point, counting down the minutes until all three kids are tucked into bed (usually promptly a 7:30). So not only do I have to drag everyone to the grocery store to get something suitable to make for meat & potatoes FIL's dinner tastes, but I also have to ensure the house is presentable, make and clean up the dinner, and then deal with three super cranky kids who will be kept up past their bedtime because you came to visit. Can't we just wait till the weekend to get together? Sheesh. I just want dinner, wine, and The Americans with DH tonight...not a visit.

[stellabunny]

WTF fellow gym goers? WIPE DOWN YOUR MACHINES WHEN YOU ARE DONE! At least 90% of the people at the gym I go to don't. It's disgusting. And then I get weird looks when I wipe down a machine before I get on it and after.

[rlb]

So tired of being super-everything. Part of me feels like dropping the ball in every aspect of my life to have people realize just how much I do.

I'm wearing out.

I've felt exactly the same way since I went back to work from maternity leave. There aren't enough hours in the day and I'm worn out.

Such is the bane of being an overachiever and having high expectations of ourselves.  I consider myself a Type A- personality, and at times the Type B+ part creeps in and wonders if I'm being too busy to enjoy life, and is it time to sell seashells on the seashore with my little family and just eat coconuts and smoke dope. 

[lucanjo14]

Wtf work, I'm tired of working for 12+ hours without any kind of break to eat or pee. We work our asses off every day and never get any thanks or help. Hire more docs if you want the wait time to be less.
Also wtf baby why are you sick again? Just when you start sleeping better, so I'm sure this virus will screw up any sleep progress we made.

So much this. Not liking that you feel this way, but commiserating. I am not an over achiever, but I am exhausted of everything falling on my shoulders.

[anotherdreamer]

WTF DD1, why the sudden sleep regression this week?! It seems like EVERY time we get adjusted to her STTN, she decides it's time to stay up until 2/3am again. Meanwhile, DS is up at 8am every day barging in our room yelling my name.

Also, WTF kids? DS decides to nap today (a rarity), DD1 was napping too, and JUST as DD2 falls asleep DD1 sits up in the PNP and wants to play. She is content playing with her toys right now, but... seriously?

I used to constantly get sick when going to the gym until I started doing this. People are so gross.  At this one gym I was going to this couple came in and had this own stuff in a bottle that they brought in to wipe the machines down with.  I don't know what it was but it was rank, I complained and the gym got onto them for not using the provided cleaning supplies.  

I also use the hand sanitizer at the gym as I am leaving and then use my towel or hoodie to open the door on my way out. 

[jnnfrrose6]

@iheartmyshiba, I definitely understand the difficulty of the choice. We're not in a HCL city, but our home is still at least double what we'd pay if we were in the burbs for the same size. We're at least in a neighborhood with a good elementary school, but will have to do private for middle +. Also, the "public transportation" here is a joke, so we don't even bother factoring that in. Just straight to vehicle prices, maintenance, and gas.

[dawnfire]

WTF dude. You come in and act all helpless and claim that earlier when you were here "some man" helped you do everything you needed on the computer. News flash: my staff is all ladies, so it wasn't one of us. Read the directions on the screen like a friggin' adult.

Also, to the same dude, WhyTF are you interrupting me when I'm speaking to someone else who's asking me a question. What are you, 4?

[liziz]

rlb I know the feeling way too well.

I told H last week that it felt like I was a manager and he was my employee, and I needed him to be the co-manager (or at least the assistant (to the ) manager)

[surfmama106]

WTF DH stop patronizing me on the "tone" of my voice!!

Example: I go upstairs with DD to put her to sleep but I forget the prescription rash cream down stairs so I shout down..."James?" He responds with "what? What? WHAT?" He thought he was in the clear for the night but no I need one thing from him. Annoyed at his irritate tone I walk downstairs, boob out, DD in arms, grab the cream and walk back upstairs. He's like "what's your problem? If you need something don't yell at me just say 'James?' (Sweet lovey voice)"

How about you just help me out on the off glance I need it and STFU about it

[Lola]

Wtf SIL. We had to cancel a vacation we had planned with my BIL and SIL because I used up my vacation time when DH was in the hospital. In spite, they are deciding to not come to DSs baptism this weekend. It's no big deal to me, but she thinks it's a way of hurting us. And even more wtf she deleted both of us on facebook but then re-friended us. Why be so petty? And seriously, was I supposed to go to work when my husband was in the hospital having no idea who he was just so I wouldn't loose the vacation hours? She's crazy.

SILs be srs cray.

So my Operations Manager just called out my Type A personality in an email...eerie timing. I think that's a definite sign I need to kick it back to Type B...and hope that she's not lurking PB. lol

[rlb]

For sure. We run the world!

I think of you whenever I get exhausted with my one. I have no idea how you do it
