Annoying co-worker please stop coming in my office every five minutes to take a caramel out of MY cabinet. Either take a handful of them or BUY YOUR OWN!!!! I have to hide my snacks because she helps herself to everything that isn't nailed down. One day I hade a small pile of dark chocolate M&M's on my desk. They weren't in a dish just a little snack for me. She freaking at every last one. She was trying to grab them all up in one swoop and knocked my phone off the hook!!!!! I just sat there shocked that she did that. I am throwing the whole bag of caramels out on the conference table so she will stay out of my office. One more annoying thing, if I am on the phone please DON'T stand in my doorway staring at me while I talk on the phone. Take a hint that I am busy and come back later. Seriously this woman has no manners. God help me get through this week and not snap and go off on her. She is the sister of my boss so that wouldn't go over to well.  |

Okay, I'll play. I have three college degrees, one as recently as December and nobody will friggin' hire me because of my limited vision. Yes, I have a service dog but I can still do the job and I'm so tired of my classmates getting jobs that I'm way more qualified for but yet sit here most likely to never be employed again. I won't give up but damn the rejection gets really hard sometimes. If you would just give me a shot you will see that I'm very qualified and can do the job. Please give me a friggin' chance. Thanks world! My son is legally blind and has a guide dog. Have your tried your state's blind services? My son got a paid internship through the state that ended up full time at the VA. He ended up getting a masters degree in mobility assistance. He was just hired as a case manager for the state's blind institute. Sending you positive thoughts! |

Update:
Son went back to urgent care after a little black sliver oozed out of wound.
Different doctor, young not much older than son. The doctor was disappointed that the boil broke at home. He told son that he would have liked to poked it! Ewww gross. My son said he was really sad that no pus came out when he pushed on it, again Ewww gross. Then he cleaned it up a bit. Then he told son he would have loved to have been able to cut it open. I am thinking the doctor likes gross infected things.
He gave son a script for a really good antibiotic and told him to keep trying( gently) to drain the thing.

My niece is now a special Ed. Teacher and is great at her job! |

My boss (Director) is on maternity leave. We have no VP. Our Accounting manager will work her last day tomorrow. So my only resource is the SVP. I feel lost.
And all these 10/11 hour days are going to need to stop. I'm exhausted.

I am so damn tired of doing it all alone and by myself.
I wish life would give me a fucking break. Car issues, dog issues, water heater issues, plumbing issues.
I can't afford ONE MORE FUCKING THING TO GO WRONG.
I am tired of working my ass off, and you NOT letting me do my job, and then we don't hit our goal... and I don't get a bonus. It feels like you are setting me up for failure.

((HUGS)) to all. I'm going to be harsh. You'll have to trust me it's deserved.... Your son is a piece of fucking shit. And guess what? It's your fault. No really. It's all on you. Because you enable every stupid fucking thing he does. You were told by your lawyer that he really should get a job and help out and there wasn't anything the lawyer could do to help you (said in the hallway so we overheard) so now you're going to help him get disability?! WTF AND don't you dare go on Facebook and trash talk my DD. My DD who is a single mom, working full time and going to college full time and would simply like your piece of shit son to pay for half of daycare. That's it. $60 a week. But it's $60 she just can't do right now. She doesn't live extravagantly. For crying out loud I paid for her to get her hair cut last week and she hadn't been there since 2014. She works her ass off, goes to class, studies until the wee hours of the morning and gets up and does it again...happily. Because she has been told since day one that SHE is responsible for her choices. So she's doing something to fix the poor choice she made to have a child with your piece of shit. But NO. DO NOT go to Facebook and start posting shit. You have just brought out my mama bear bitch. Although, if he does get disability, ( thru SS ) they can take child support out of his benefits and pay directly to your DD. It's not mega bucks BUT it is reliable, very very reliable. |

Your indecision, procrastination and half-truths created this mess.
It is wrong for you to play "victim" when others call you on your behavior. Stop pouting and feeling sorry for yourself.
Put on your big-girl panties and help find a solution.

I am annoyed at the selfishness of others.
My friend died while on a cruise to Antarctica and there has been a legal/ financial nightmare trying to get her body back in the country- in fact today it has been two weeks since she passed but she is still in argentina- although one step closer to home. Today her husbands best friend phoned me and had the nerve to complain that he has scheduled the funeral for next saturday (19th)
because; 1.hopefully the body will have arrived by then ( 3 weeks after her death) -
2. so that no body would be inconvenienced and have to take a day off work ( which i think is very considerate- more than he needs to be at this time)
He is upset because he is scheduled to leave on a golf trip and doesn't want to have to make any changes to his plans- so he may just not go to funeral- I was like HUH? This is your best friend and that will probably be one of the worst days of his life and all you can think about is golf???
It is soo... not about you!!1

Dh lives in another state. Since June I have seen him for 1 week in September, 1 weekend in October and 2 weeks over Christmas. I miss him and I'm tired of dealing with everything myself. He is arriving tomorrow for two weeks to spend ds's 18th birthday with him, spring break with the kids and help me get the house ready to list so we can move as soon after high school graduation as possible.
My vent, he is arriving tomorrow, with his parents. We've lived here for 3 years and MIL decides now that she needs to visit. Dh has a to do list a mile long and now has to also play tour guide. I'd be mad at dh for allowing this to happen, but he has to spend 24 hours in a tiny car with his parents. He will have suffered enough. But I didn't even approach my boss about time off. It's better I spend my days at work.
They are only staying 5 days to dh's 2 weeks, so I do get him to myself a little bit. I'm just shaking my head over the whole thing.

I'm 38 weeks pregnant so I realize a lot of this vent is hormones.
But we are hoping to do a remodel of our lower level in the next couple months. Currently all our bedrooms are down there. I have been trying to convince dh for months that we should just move up to our upper level where we will be living during the remodel. He kept saying no lets just wait till we have a remodel date (which we still didn't have). Then a couple weeks ago he changes his mind and decides we should do it before the baby comes. Since then he has gone to Colorado for four days to ski, he did take dd(almost 5yrs), but I had ds (3yrs). Then he spent Mon-wednesday in Tahoe on a with ski trip. I have been doing as much as I possibly can, with lifting restrictions and such. But there is still a lot to be done. As party of all this we needed to get ds a new bed, finally got dh to go look last weekend and the mattress was supposed to have been delivered this week. After no word I tried calling today, was told they should bed contacting me tomorrow. I just want the stupid mattress!!
And tomorrow we are supposed to pick up our new car (that was delayed because they decided due to chipped posting to give us a new hood). The car delivery is almost an hour away, especially with traffic. I get to drive everyone to work and school in the morning and then pick them all back up do we only have one car and then due to the car delivery. Then from there dh is taking fil to a warriors game and I get to drive the kids back home in the dark, in probably stormy weather in traffic. Once the kids are in bed I need to make dd's cake for the party.
Dd's birthday party is Saturday which I have also done everything for, dh smiles and nods when I try to talk to him about it. My parents last minute had to go out of town so they can't help with party set up and when I mentioned it to my mil she told me that she has a pedicure scheduled for right before the party and will probably be late to the party.
Dd's actual birthday is the 23rd- my due date is the 27th. And it pisses me off to no end that's my in-laws have decided that they should take a standing vacation to Cabo every year the week of her birthday. Especially when they make a huge deal out of having to always be with the oldest granddaughter (this baby will be grandchild number 9) on her birthday. But the other kids they could care less.
And to top it off this will be the third time they have scheduled themselves to be out of town on my due date. Yet with their daughters they were at their houses (out of state) for two to three weeks surrounding the births of all six of their kids. Yet we live 15 minutes away and do all kinds of crap for them and they go out of town. Dh jokingly said something to them about it and his mom's response was well have the baby early before we leave.
And to top it off mil's birthday is the end of the month, she is already trying to plan when we can take her out to dinner and I refuse to commit to anything because I didn't know when the baby is going to arrive!
Good Lord pregnancy hormones!!

(((hugs))) to all those with struggles. OP, huge (((hugs))) to you. Being a mom is tough, almost never getting the credit we deserve, and always having blame laid at our feet.
My vent: Some guy decided to hit & run my car on the way home. Thankfully only broke my driver's side mirror. But damn, scared the heck out of me. And now I have to pay to repair the mirror. It's not fair.

Oh, and it's now been raining on and off for 6 days, and my pups are seriously desperate for a walk. Wili is a real mope! UGH this sucks! |

Hugs. Our usually calm easy going small PTA (usually 10-11 per meeting) had a brutal meeting last night where about 25 teachers who never show up to meetings ever, showed up and voted down something that would not have passed anyway (because it did not get 10 votes) and caused everyone a ton of stress and drama. Our PTA president was crying this morning when I saw her, and while I usually love our school, I am very annoyed with our teachers and their taking what our PTA does (which is every program at the school that is not during school hours, and 4 fundraisers a year) for granted. Then, we have been saving money for this huge project for YEARS, and the teachers took a poll and want to spend the money on something else (which is ridiculous and is not why what we fundraised for). UGH! Too much drama… That sucks. Our PTO didn't let anyone vote unless they were on the PTO and attended all (most) of the meetings. If teachers wanted money that the PTO raised, they had to write a letter and ask for $. Then they were put on the next month's agenda and the PTO voted (not the teacher). I have to wonder what would make 25 teachers show up for a PTO meeting. Honestly, our PTO was fantastic. They raised a bunch of money. I didn't always think everything they purchased was needed, but it wasn't all about me. Ours is the same. In my dd's elementary school the PTA, which I was a part of, could get out of hand sometimes though. They decided one year that every teacher needed three more computers in their classrooms and made it a goal for the year. Which required two more all-day fundraisers. Which in turn required two more Saturdays that the teachers had to work without pay. To chaperone or man the carnival booths. We had a new principal and a returning PTA president. The teachers had to dominate a general meeting in order to shoot down the plan. Feelings were hurt, but no one was listening to the teachers when they said thanks but no thanks. They didn't need nor have room for more computers in their rooms. What they needed was much more simple and cheaper. Eventually everyone got back to a good place but that project was an experience for sure! |

Gosh some of you are having just horrible times, sympathies to all! My whiny selfish first world vent - we're getting a new car today, DH is picking it up very soon, I am at work. We are selling our (10 year) old car to a friend, who was going to take it on Sunday, but DH decided it would be more convenient for him to take it today. Which is fine, except that means that our friend will get to go in the new car before I've even seen it. My semi serious vent - day 3 of a migraine  Also - how on earth have I still not reached 500 posts? I mean, I know the literal reason why, but it doesn't seem possible. Even though I'm limiting screen time (see previous vent above) I'm determined to get there today. I am WAY behind my posting rate on the old board. |

i work with sybil. seriously, day to day, never know who is gonna show up, personality-wise. we work in a small office (3 office staff and roving salespeople pop in periodically but they work in the back). if she is just gonna be horrible, it would be easy to ignore her but then mary sunshine pops up again and she is pleasant and charming.
i realize i am part of the problem because i should just ignore her when she is bitchy AND when she is nice but i cannot ignore someone who is actually being nice... if that makes sense.
plus, sales are down and i suspect i might be laid off... i have asked my boss to let me know if that is the plan for the summer BEFORE i drop hundreds on summer camp. last year there were a couple of weeks in the summer it actually *cost* me to work (camp dues for 2 kids was more than i made those weeks). just a little head's up would be nice....
