Vent thread... Add yours!

There has been 45 work days this year and you haven't shown up for 13 of them. That's a lot. Unfortunately you are aware that we need you to finish our certificate program by the end of the month.
I'm not sure what to do tomorrow when you say for sure your coming in.
Do I talk to you or do I wait.
You are a good worker when you show up. But this is getting ridiculous

Oh definitely! Around here it seems to be a total lack of understanding about simple words such as "yield". 

Same same same.... i live in very very RED west texas... you can see trump flags, dont tread on me flags, come and take it flags and confederate flags... horrible!!!

But i am constantly being told... look at how much gas is thanks to your president... look at this is, thanks to your president... it is soooo frustrating... and when i try to have a decent conversation, i get talked over interrupted and dismissed... its really hard right now!!

I got a jury duty notice and it is for 3 long weeks right when I have medical procedures scheduled and a girls extended weekend out of state, and I watch my 2 granddaughters. I do not understand how they can just take almost a month out of your life without even asking you anything about your availability. Makes me feel very frustrated.

I bought three small tape measures, one for each of the living levels of the house. They are mine. I use them all the time.
I shouldn't have to go down the basement and look through your toolbox to find them all, where you have 4!!!! of your own.

My BIL was diagnosed with lymphoma and just got out of the hospital after 3 weeks. We are all pitching in the help him, as he lives alone. I stopped by yesterday with a covid test for him, since he is coughing like crazy. I asked him to take it, even though we are pretty sure it's fluid from lying in bed so long. If by chance it's covid, he needs to get antiviral meds.

I asked him to call me with the results, then I'd come back over and do a couple things for him.

He did not call, which means he did not take the test. He's like that - won't disagree, will just go his own way, often getting mad in the process.

Well screw that. I'm not going over there until he tests and calls me.

I've been caught in this too. And both my DH and I were hourly employees at the time, which meant those 3 weeks were potentially unpaid leave. The response when I stated this as being an undue hardship was too bad, it's your civic duty. Really? Is that going to fly with my mortgage company when I can't make the payment because I don't have an income for 3 weeks. I was NOT happy, and thankful to be excused when I faced it only loosing a day of pay.

I had a co-worker who was sequestered for several months. I'm sorry, I can't just go on unpaid leave for months at a time I'll loose everything.

To my not so DH, get some f#@&%*g glasses. You haven’t had your eyes checked in at least five years. I am tired of cleaning up your messes because you don’t see them. I wish I was single more often than I’m glad I’m married.

Read the damn email!

I sent a sister a link to a story about her HS friend. I began the email with "I know the pay wall will not let you
in, so here is my account long in and password.
I then sent the link.

She responded with, "I am not a subscriber, so I can't read it." So I responded with, "That is why I sent you my
log in." ........to which she responded, "Duh, I should have read the email."
This is about the 3rd time she has responded that way, even though I send the sign in each time, so this time I decided to point it out. She can leap into "intense anger" at the drop of a hat, so I have hesitated on pointing that out before...

People being angry at "loosing their rights" by having to wear a mask and not wanting to follow simple rules that are made for everyone to gather safely during this Covid-19 pandemic WHEN there are people getting killed for living in a country next door to Russia.  

My vents:

#1: He's been a complete ss to you all year, don't let him call the shots now. It's NOT an emergency.
#2: shut up. just shut up.
#3: stop yawning. It's all day, every day. You have sleep apnea, stop denying it, and blaming you being tired on everything else.

ahhh....

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

I am a night owl. Usually not in bed until about 1:00am-ish, asleep by 2:00am. I sleep about 7-8 hours, often in increments (have to get up and use bathroom + tossing and turning -insomnia).

If you call earlier (more than once, during the 9:00am hour) and leave a message and I return that call after 10:00am-11:00am, it's NOT because I have been sleeping ALL DAY. I am sleeping 7-8 hours, outside of the "normal" deemed by society hours and parameters. 

Keep your "must be nice to sleep all day " comment to yourself!
For years my standard comment is "Actually, if I am lucky I sleep 7-8 hours in a 24 hour period". 

One day, I may just call them at 1:00am or 2:00am and say "must be nice, to sleep during the normal society deemed hours and parameters". 

my dh is lefthanded. he always puts his dirty dishes to the left of the sinks. I ask him to put it in the sink or to the right of the sink. never does it. drives me nuts. I do all the dishes. (it would be hard for him to do dishes). I am right handed.

As much as this might open me up to criticism, I've got to get this vent out.

My kid doesn't get it. He just doesn't get it. We've been seeing doctors and specialists and therapists and everyone under the sun for 6 years now and we're worse off than we were before. We've evaluated for autism three times. Not on the spectrum. But they want to try it again - to the tune of a couple of thousand dollars out of pocket for us. He's definitely ADHD. He's definiately ODD. Meds help for a while, and then they don't. I'm so very, very tired of living the same fight day after day after day after day. Suspensions, loss of previleges, exclusion from activities...on and on it goes. Token societies, PCIT, time outs, natural consequences, supplements...doesn't matter what we try. Nothing works to change behavior longer than a couple of days - at best.

And now, they want to do a 30-day in patient hospitalization. I was shocked. I don't know why. But I can't bring myself around to this is where we're at - even if logically I can talk myself into maybe this is what we need? I feel like such a failure.
