Much needed VENT thread

Vette · Owl drink to that!

Along those lines, I'm so SICK of DH and SS having multiple volumes up at the same time, like, the tv is on, plus a speaker with music playing PLUS whatever game they are playing on their phones.

I'm constantly nagging them to turn down one or the other.

Mary Zombie · Guru

I’m sick of people not reading a freakin sign on my desk stating I’m away from my desk please proceed to your appointment and check with me afterwards
Sometimes I have to pee for god sake. The sign is eye level
Once again I come out of restroom and somones standing there yelling hellooooo? Hellooooo? Ok idiot you see I’m not there why yell hello.????
I ask if they saw the sign , oh yes dear we saw it we just didn’t read it. I just stared and gave the dog that heard funny noise look. Then they were embarrassed.
So sick of people acting like they don’t see huge azz signs.
Oy vey

I know that must be annoying. But, if you usually check in somewhere, then that is pretty much what you expect to do rather than just walk back.

Mary Zombie · Guru

These were people that have been here multiple times.
I was in the rest room. The sign clearly said to please go to the appt and check with me on the way out
If no one is at the desk you’re saying hello to
The air. The sign
People. And some people argue with me that they Have never checked in with me
Then at the suite or upstairs. I check
In the whole building so I can’t be in one place , there’s two huge signs saying to stop here
And I’ll go back to their arrived appts and point out I checked them in and collected copay for x amount and you paid with a visa , as
An example. Some of them get mad when I prove it to them but duh if I even know your name before you hit my window you’ve checked In with me first.
I’m not taking the lies and arguing just to argue lol

Yes, mother, even though I've called you multiple times the past few days, even drove out to check on you when I couldn't reach you. Ran errands for you on the day that I was hosting 20+ people, have been in bed since Saturday night with some horrible illness, by all means, berate me because I didn't call you on Christmas until I actually rolled out of bed that afternoon. Saying she thought I forgot about her and that I just didn't care...ugh!!!

Well at least we didn't have to see my sister. First year ever. And hopefully, the tradition will continue...

That really sucks for you. The good thing about my family is there are so many of us that even as mom gets older and more needy we all help out so no one person is stuck.

I was impressed with how my family was this year. As if we reconnected. No bitchiness or PA comments and such. Made for a very nice day.

Divine Geek · Guru

People who tell me they are such a perfectionist/OCD/anal retentive about their work and clearly are not. Throwing out those words does not impress me. Especially when I have to spend so much time fixing your obvious and careless mistakes.

I have very high standards, learned from a boss who has even higher standards. So don’t tell me you’re a perfectionist if you can’t actually live up to it.

Renters, who had to have their arrears paid
by an anonymous donor, outside playing with
the drone his mother gave him! I mean,
don't drones with cameras attached to them
go for several hundred dollars?

And he even crashed the drone in my
neighbor's pasture, where she has cattle
grazing. I'm sure she is NOT amused by
the drone near her cattle. I wonder how
much noise the drones make - enough
to startle the cattle? Renter called me
to ask my neighbor if they could have
permission to enter the pasture and
retrieve the drone. Dingbats ! !

Believe it or not, drones with cameras can be as little as $20.

I priced them before Christmas.

I need to be across the street in 30 minutes. Thing is I have nothing to do until then. It would take me 30 minutes round trip to go anywhere else. Sigh, ho hum.

I am already tired of the freakin cold weather!

A -37 wind chill factor for this weekend and early next week, will make for a miserable New Year. Ugh

Emergency back up heat has already kicked on. :(

Just saw the news and the incredible snow and freezing weather out there.

It's 34, feels 22, here. I hate the cold.

Yea, we bought some for the Lodge Children's Christmas party, on sale for $25.99 with 40% off if we bought 2.

Holding off responding to FH's email regarding the next few days with seeing DD. I have no issue with him seeing her but still seething over his being a f'ing jerk on Christmas when he delayed my plans after giving him a ton more time. If I respond now it will be "f u c k off"

What does your DD want though?

I just told him to f off. I am so done. I wish I could fly a drone into his head and watch the carnage on the drone camera. I am so mad right now.

I hate being the barer of bad news.

Just, shoot me, now! evileye

TrudyML · Guru

Ugh. Jury.

Momala · Great cook-happy wife-superb fisherman

Actually, jury duty can be quite fun (at
least I think so).

Last time I was called (Grand Jury), I met
a descendant of the man our town was
named after. She didn't know how big we
had grown, or that we had an annual Old
Town Day, complete with parade, baking
contests, and entertainment. She attended
that year, and was quite entranced.

Previous time (Petit Jury) in December, I
brought some of my hand crafts, and took
over one end of the only table in the room.
I sold each item as soon as I finished it!

Bring a book, a cushion, and something to
drink. They're getting smarter now, and
allowing prospective jurors to bring food
and drink into the waiting room - gotta
keep the jurors happy!

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Leave it to Momala to make jury duty sound fun!

This is why we love you! smile

TrudyML · Guru

I was on a real crap case. Losers. Anyways, Dad, being a lawyer would come and sit. And I'd wave to him. The clerk went to him and asked if I was his daughter. Yep. Funny. My name got pulled. Didn't have to deliberate! Thanks Dad!

I want jury duty so bad!!!!!! I've only been called once, in 1993, but never got to the box. I would be an amazing jurer! I crave that day!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I did jury duty once. Four hour DUI case. It was summer and the courthouse had a broken A.C.. It was interesting to see everything anyways.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

This really isn't vent since it is post vent. Didn't get the chance to watch my fav Christmas movies when DD an DS were around (they kept me busy and I loved it) So tonight I am binge watching. Can't go out due to the temps.

Ohfour · Hooker

I loved jury duty! Sadly, I won't be on any jury anymore.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

I'm a lawyer. I'd love jury duty, but I just sit there all day, get questioned and never get picked. It's a small town - I know all the lawyers.

Lindley · Guru

I always wanted to be on jury duty, but the few times I was called It was just after I moved out of the county. My husband as a employer would write a letter for a employee who was a single mother and helped them get off.

Fortunately there is a box to check letting them know I'm an attorney so my "summons" never gets very far. But I would still like to serve.

Oh, no. In our area, that's not an option. That would be favoritism to lawyers. We are required to serve like everyone else. We just don't get picked.

Well hell!

2017 is not ending on a good note.

Wayne's brother, tripped and fell. He thinks he broke a couple of ribs. He's having trouble breathing.

His wife, Sandy, has called for an ambulance.

Prayers for Bill, please.

This is not the way I thought 2017 would go out. cry

Darn it! furious

Momala · Great cook-happy wife-superb fisherman

Oh no!!
Have you had any further word?
Prayers for all of you.

Lindley · Guru

I'm so sorry fwm! Prayers for your BIL.

Forever Sunshine · Guru

Oh no! Not a good way to start off the new year. Prayers for your BIL. Hope he's okay!

FNW · Guru

Prayers!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Prayers for your brother in law.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Thank you, Good Geeks!

Bill has 3 cracked ribs. I guess they taped him up and sent him home.

He's in a lot of pain, but he's doing okay.

I guess he'll go back in tomorrow, and they'll check for swelling.

I appreciate the prayers.

That could have been worse.

Momala · Great cook-happy wife-superb fisherman

Do they still tape up cracked/broken ribs?

Yeah, it could have been worse, but pain
from just breathing is awful. And finding a
comfortable position is almost impossible.
Hope they don't have anything planned for
the next couple of weeks. ;(

I'll have to ask him, Momala. I don't know for sure, I just figured they tape them.

It's so cold up there, I doubt they plan to do anything.
