Nephew is 6. The in laws aren't going to change. They've been like this the 20 years my sister has been married. We are just expected to take the high road and play nice. Which we do. So instead, I vent here.

It's not about plans changing, it's about thoughtless people who don't consider other people may have already made plans. I guess my lasagna will wait until Friday.

I learned a long time ago, if you're always putting off plans for a more perfect time, you'll never do anything.

And now the dog just peed on the couch. WTF Corgi??

THIS. So much this.

I love spending time with my boys. I had ONE THING that I had to do yesterday: drive a close friend to the airport. Running errands, etc., those things could wait.

DS2's birthday is tomorrow, so we were going to dinner last night. What time? I don't know, Mom.

Really? You can't give me a "window," like a delivery guy?

hmm

I have big hair today. It's cool out but 99% humidity. I had the best hairstyle going for me after I dried my hair. It has grown big over the day, I look like a throw back to the 80's.

No, sometimes Corgi is just a little jerk and does stuff like that.

I always seem to have the most care-free, awesome hair on the day I'm scheduled for a cut and frost.

I know! It's the same as when your car stops making that horrid noise when you pull into the mechanic, so then you have to act it out for the mechanic. TTHHSS-FSSST-FF-BOOM!

Someone who was on call last night texted to tell me the ac is out and the department is an inferno. Let's hope the docs hold off any non emergency cases until it is fixed.
Second vent, the cat vomited on my keys. I'm just glad i saw it before I had to dash off to work.

Poor kitty! Is she feeling better? Glad you saw it before you touched the keys. At least it washes off

So a friend of mine emailed me and a few of her other friends to give us a heads up. She and her SO went away for the weekend on one of those time share sales things. They got all kinds of free stuff. And more if they provided contact info for referrals to the sales teams. Her heads up? I gave them your email, but not your phone numbers. And she went on to praise the deals they were being offered. I am somewhat livid. Sure, I can block the sales emails, but why would she do that? She was so taken in by the sales spiel plus probably was given an extra night in exchange for the email addresses. I am just sitting here in disbelief.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I remember getting those.

My parents took advantage of one trip.

I went to a spiel once.

Told them I had no intention of buying and was just there for the free trip.

I was shown out the back door.

I stopped for gas on my way home from the nail place. I stubbed my toe getting in the car and chipped my polish 😡 My cousin said I should go back and demand a refund. For what? Being a klutz? That's not their fault.

No need. I bruise, but rarely actually hurt myself wink

I wouldn't demand a refund - but most places would fix it for you.

I'm sure they would have fixed it, but I wasn't driving back across town to do that. Luckily, I chose a light shade and it doesn't really show.

Trump is due to speak in Columbus about the time we land. I really wanted to get tickets, but no way does the time work.

Kinda pissed and upset at the same time. Just found out on FB that my oldest cousin passed today. I had no clue she was even that sick.

I'm sorry, SB. People do that b/c they don't want to burden others with their illness. They mean well - it's just misguided.

My condolences, SB.

I have a sinus infection that piggybacked off my allergy attack yesterday thanks to the change in weather. My face hurts. I have a z pack though so I'll be feeling better shortly. DS has another ear infection and is on amoxicillin. Poor kid. He was complaining that his ears and throat hurt so he went to urgent care with me. I can't wait for him to outgrow his ear infections.

Oh, and I could've done without the doctor palpating my sinuses. She found the sore spots on each of them.

I SWEAR my youngest is going to drive me insane!

Good thing I love him.

When I call, it's because that's the time I have to do business.

I don't want to leave 10 messages at 10 different places and hope I'm available when you call me back.

I have bronchitis on top of the sinus infection now. When I get sick, I do it right :P

Ok so here is the situation. I made plans with friends to go to a concert. One friend said she wanted to go and I said that I would get the tickets. I bought 4 tickets, one extra just in case someone else wanted to go. One of the friends now tells me she totally forgot and can't go. So I said ok, but don't know if I can find anyone to buy your ticket and suggested she find someone. She responds that her 18YO son will go. Ummm no, this is a girls night out and so 18YOs are not hanging around. I've offered to her two of the tickets if her son really wants to go with a friend.

My vent? This ticks me off! We've had this planned for 5 months! Every year for the past 4 years or so we attend this particular summer music series in a local city, so it is not as though this is out of the ordinary. GRRRR

I hate hypothetical threads! There I said it. On another forum I visit, someone will post a hypothetical situation and a lot of responses they will say they were talking them or a family member and they are hurt by the advise, and then people will say "oh that's different" and the advice changes to suit them and not them upset the OP. I have actually gotten to the point where some of us will post and ask if it's about you/your family? I wonder how some people manage to live on a daily basis without asking for advise about how to answer the phone?

I don't want to work anymore. Like, I REALLY want to retire. But I can't. ~sigh~ I hate having to get up and come to work in the morning. Hate. Hate. Hate.

Me too, but once I am there I am fine because I do like the work I do. But do want to slow down, just can't until DD is out of High School.

Oughttabeworking · Regular

It's not the work per se, but I'm over it. Apparently you can't retire at 38, though, unless you are rich. Ugh. I've thought about changing jobs--that will usually keep me interested for a year, maybe year and a half. After that I get bored. But, I don't really want to give up my seniority and perks just because I'm bored. Especially when I know myself well enough to know that I will be right back in this same position before long, even if I do change jobs.

It has crossed my mind LL. I even considered rear ending the car that cut me off hoping I'd need front end repairs.

Have you gone to the car wash and gotten the ultimate under body wash?

Also - I'd change the cabin filter, the stench has probably ruined it.

No - I've never heard of this. I will google & see what it says. I thought about calling the dealership & seeing if they could pressure wash the engine. It seems to be coming from the engine compartment.
