I had the same thing happen to me. I hate the upgrade, but you can't go back without some very complicated teching, and you run the risk of bricking your phone.
Although, the update made mine almost useless, so it was almost worth the risk. Mine is SO slow now.
Ugh. This sucks. I'm due for an upgrade at the end of the month and am seriously considering ditching Galaxy after this. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but I had my phone set up perfectly and the new calendar options mean I need to change around the layout of my home page to get a calendar widget to fit.
I hate the new look - I feel like they tried to match the colorful cartoon-ish feeling of the new iPhone look and I hate it. It's really the calendar that's pissing me off the most. Not to mention when I press the power button, the menu that pops up no longer includes the mute/vibrate/sound options which is how I put my phone on vibrate.
I admit it's a silly thing to be mad about, but I'm beyond pissed. I've been using the same set-up for 2 years now.
My H works for Samsung, and neither of us owns a Samsung phone. In fact, a lot of the people he works with don't own Samsung phones. If that tells you anything at all.
Thanks. Yeah I was basically a shell with Zoloft. I didn't feel my lows anymore but I couldn't feel happy. Sounds strange but a really odd sensation to feel.
That's like exactly how I felt. I've tried describing it to people and they never 'got it'. There was like no motivation for me to do anything because I like... didn't feel anything.
It's difficult to describe this kind of shit to others. It's like describing Albania.

So I have a question: I'm a writer, and I'm wanting to pick up more freelance work, so that one day, hopefully, I can be a work-from-home mommy. Any ideas/suggestions on how to pick up more freelance writing/editing work? I currently take assignments from CopyPress, but I'm looking for something more substantial and consistent.

I'm irritated that I called the RE office this morning to schedule my progesterone test, they said they would call me back in a half hour and it's been 3 hours now. People! I'm on a time crunch since I'm leaving town for work and I don't want to wait until next cycle!

I absolutely loved my phone until this morning. Amazing how fast this has changed.

I'm interested in hearing any input on this as well.
I do quite a bit of freelance writing. Most of mine is through a website called BlogMutt. I love it. It takes some getting used to but I make quite a bit of extra cash on it. I was actually going to attempt to do it full-time last summer but then I ended up getting my job at the library. So I never got to 'test' it out.

I have not been happy with the direction Android is going. They are making things LESS convenient. The calendar is useless. I want to see a month view with my events listed, not stupid dots that I have to click on. I use the Samsung calendar now instead of the Google one. I hate the updates to Hangouts. They removed the swipe to go back to your message list. On my tablet, the latest update removed the one click button to close all open apps. WTF?

Agreed. And it's the calendar that's my biggest complaint too. If they had left the calendar alone, I don't think I'd be as annoyed as I am.
But I don't even know what I'd do for a phone at this point if I jumped ship. I don't want an iPhone or a Windows phone. There's not really anything left at that point is there...

That's annoying. I'd call them again and bother them.

REs office finally called back. The nurse kept saying I need to get my progesterone bloodwork done today because I'm on CD23 and she says it needs to be done on CD21. So we had this long conversation involving me convincing her that ovulated really late this cycle and I know I'm only 3DPO and she kept arguing that I couldn't have Od that late. So finally I convinced her and now I have to go Friday or Saturday. Fuck. I'm pretty sure I should not be more knowledgable about this than the freaking nurse that works at the FERTILITY CLINIC! Ugh!!!!

I work in advertising and marketing so I work with a lot of creatives, a lot of whom freelance on the side. What kind of writing do you do? Technical? Grants? Copy? A lot of them just network to get work. Some use LinkedIn and tap in to other social media. I've gotten short term writing jobs right off Careerbuilder and Indeed. Do you have a website that features your work? You could optimize that so when people search for freelancers, your name or site will show up. I'm sure there's more you can do, but that's what I can think of right off the bat.

Yikes I am sorry you are dealing with that. They should definitely know that its possible to O later in your cycle. That is really annoying.

I'm currently a marketing copywriter. Previously, I was an e-commerce copywriter. I do some travel writing on the side. I'm also a strong editor.
I don't have a website. I know I should get one, but it's hard to get samples of my writing in one place since the site I previously worked for is now defunct. I could link to sites I've written at my current job, but that's about it. Unless I'm going about this all wrong.
I have a couple of personal connections that I'm working right now, just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions. Thanks!

She kept asking when I got my positive OPK and I kept saying I stopped taking them because I ovulated late but I got my temperature shift so I know now when I Od. And she's all "yes but when did you get your positive OPK?" Geez oh man.
ETA: also I've never gotten a fully positive OPK so I think that's a terrible method of determining when to do progesterone tests. BBT FTW.

I think I've read others REs preferring OPKs to BBT but I can't remember why. Sounds like she needs to do a better job of listening. I'm glad you were able to push it back and get it closer to 7 DPO.
Today I wore sandals because it's spring and my feet love to breathe. I just looked down to notice that I apparently have not shaved my hairy toes in a while. Damn it. I hope no one notices.

I hope the rest of the staff is more knowledgable than this girl. Wow.
