I find it pretty cathartic to vent here.
Op, if you need to vent, we are here.
My vent is that I have a mammogram today. Why has research and technology not come up with a more comfortable way to check out the girls?

My vent for the day is my father. I am so ticked off at him. My dh got Covid and has been really ill. Almost needed to be hospitalized but luckily since his oxygen levels were stable, they thought he would be more comfortable at home. He's been very sick for going on a month now. He is finally doing better but my father has been texting asking how he was doing. I have been updating him and the other day his comment back to me was "I smell fish". I was like huh? I asked him what that meant and he said he's never heard of Covid going on for so long. So like we were lying about his condition. I think he might have gotten that from my brother because he's been making similar comments. Um....well we have each and every test to prove it. He has to test negative before he can be released to go back to work so he's been getting tested weekly. That was the other day and I'm still pissed. Ok, vent over.

I'll bite. My vent is at Target right now. I ordered a few things last week. Today I received the chrome toilet brush holder and this large citronella cement candle. In the same box...with a single small airpillow strip between them...and no other padding or cushioning. The box rattled from broken cement when I picked it up.  Then to rub salt in the wound, I now have to either drive to Target or to a UPS/FedEx location to return it for a refund. Who in their right mind even thinks this is a good way to pack these things? |

My vent! Today my ex and I each received a strongly worded email from my daughters AP Env Sci teacher saying she missed the deadline for the final, midnight last night. Not the AP exam which is next week, during the PROM, but the teacher created final that is 20% of her grade.
Apparently, half the class missed the deadline.
SO my ex who has not been involved at ALL in all 4 years of high school And owes over $100K in back child support Refuses to pay for college. Has the Audacity to reply to me and ask... What do "WE" need to do about this!
Are you f'ing kidding me. You have done NOTHING in the last 4 years and next to nothing for the last 10 and you want to know what "WE" need to do about it.
Nothing JackASS. Not a thing. Your daughter has it handled!!! UGHHH!

My vent is selfish and whiny.
I hate that my birthday gets forgotten. Only one sibling texted me a HB.
I usually never work on my birthday but boss asked me to, so that we could “celebrate at work” with a “wheat free cake or something “. So I broke my personal rule of working on my birthday. I actually changed a hair appointment that I made for my birthday to go into work. He wasn’t there nor was most of the people I worked with, they were working at another location. I worked alone at my desk the entire day, one staff member came down an hour or do before end of day and said “today’s you’re birthday?” He had just saw it on our daily planner that we all check in on—I said yup! Boss texted later and wished me a HB (he forgot) so that was a bummer.
I did receive a gift from hubby/kids, and he said we’ll go for ice cream too. That didn’t happen.
But then it turned to what’s for dinner? And I made dinner and went to bed.
So then my friends realized a day/days after that they too missed my birthday (it does appear on Facebook) and that’s where they wished me bday wishes. Late. I never forget theirs.
Our dog’s birthday is a few days after mine and I always post a picture of dog with birthday 🎂 and I swear to god my dog got 40 happy birthday posts!!!
So then, in my glorious pity party, I was thinking of things that happened recently.
At work, when we have a busy time or will be working nonstop, I always coordinate lunches (like I’ll make mini charcuterie boxes or a bunch of salads) and I pay attention to everyone’s dietary restrictions (we have a vegan, a vegetarian, one allergic to avocado, another who does not do sugars) and I’ll specifically make and tag their food accordingly. I keep 3 gallon dispensers in the fridge filled with tea and iced coffee.
On the one day where another girl does the lunch ordering (I wasn’t aware that they were ordering anything that day), I’m not even asked if I want anything—she orders. (It’s pizza) so an hour or so later, someone mentions to me if I’ve eaten lunch, that they ordered in and it’s upstairs, I ask if they ordered any wheat/gluten free (everyone at work knows I’m allergic to wheat) but nope. It’s all normal pizza. Forgotten again.
And finally, sibling/relative having a little outdoor, immediate family only, small graduation from preschool party and they say they are ordering pizza. I inquire as to where do I can check out menu. Figures. Only chain pizza place who doesn’t do GF pizza. So I have to bring my own food. They don’t want to change places as they love the one they chose.
Gaaahhh. A pathetic whiny pity and petty vent.

I'm sorry your father and brother are choosing to adopt such an ignorant attitude. All they have to do is Google and there are articles relating to the length of time it takes for Covid to run through some people. Shame on them for adding to your undoubtedly stressful time right now. And how disrespectful to you! |

I find it pretty cathartic to vent here. Op, if you need to vent, we are here. My vent is that I have a mammogram today. Why has research and technology not come up with a more comfortable way to check out the girls? About 3 or 4 years ago, when I got my mammogram, the tech was like hey, did you know we have this new fangled technology, it gives a better response, etc., and I got ALL excited, and said Oh My God - is the process different for me? and she said no, for you, it's all the same. But this process gives far less false positives. I mean that is great, but for a minute, I really thought maybe something like an X-ray was about to happen. |
