Twats!

Who in your life is being a twat and serving it up for breakfast with maple syrup and a side of bacon?

More tales of the self absorption of SIL. She attended her best friend's wedding and posted FB pics in an album called S&H's wedding. I know this friend (but not close enough to be invited) so I clicked because I love weddings. What I found was 7 selfies of SIL kissing BIL, SEVEN. And 3 blurry pics of the bride. Gross. I actually said that out loud.

My body, because seriously. Fuck.

And the parent of one of the kids I watch. He showed up 30 minutes early this am, no warning or anything. I hadn't even had my coffee yet! I really was not ready to face the day yet (

What an ass. Can you charge extra?

My father for more reasons than I can enumerate now, but mostly for the way he treats my mother. He is so negative and complaining constantly that I hate being around him. I think my poor mother has made her peace with their relationship, knowing he cannot or will not change and she doesn't want to rock the boat.

All of the thermometers in my house.  Apparently I didn't think ahead and get the ones that scan the forehead or go in the ear for a second (maybe I'm the twat here).  So, every time I've had to take my kid's temperature in this past week, I've been met by angry, inconsolable crying as a result of holding a digital thermometer under her arm for a full 60 seconds.  Gah!  Be quicker, thermometer!

I nominate the 8 teeth that have decided to torture my poor child 4 days before we leave for Disney. Seriously? 8 freaking teeth at once with 102-103 fevers...Ain't nobody got time for that crap!! I just have to say that I so feel sorry for the people that are on our flights!

Myself. Since moving back to Indiana I have been staying at home with DS. I have been keeping an eye on job listing though with the intention of being very selective and only applying for things that would be a perfect fit. I have applied for exactly 1 position. They extended an interview hours after I sent in my resume and portfolio. Half of me is excited at the prospect and half of me is dreading it. Make up your damn mind self do you want to stay at home or do you want to work?

Work.  They cut hours over & over again yet it is our problem when the work isn't completed (or we must be doing something wrong).  Since I'm salaried I have the "luxury" of staying late to finish up.  So a great big thanks to the corporate douches for having me stay late every night and missing DS's bedtime. 

<---looking for a new job.

I nominate my landlord. He failed to inform me there was mouse poison under the radiator. Holy shit. My car found it and was pawing at it. If she or my kid had ingested any....I can't even...

::off to scour the whole house::

That would be my cat...

For the second week in a row I nominate the New York State department of education.  I just left a three hour psychologists' meeting.  My job has become a pathetic maze of graduation requirements, Nit-picking IEP's, handling messed up registrations, and just general paperwork and malarkey.  Forget seeing actual students, completing my re-evaluations, or doing any meaningful consulting.  My position has turned into a very unfulfilling job, and I feel like I am complaining so much more this year.  I am drowning with no sign of it stopping.  Its sad because in general I really love my job and the people I work with, but the direction it is taking is scary.  I know most teachers feel like this

With you, BPT!  I spent 6 years in charter schools and loved every single minute of it.  Then I came up here and took a job with a large school district.  My day is just a series of repeatedly banging my head on the desk because of paperwork, red tape, bureaucracy, weird district and state requirement, mandates we must follow with little direction, and more.  I miss being in a small school that controlled itself.

Holy shit! I would cut someone. That's too terrifying to even begin to think about it. Thank goodness you found out about it before anything bad happened.

I'm still so pissed. Also, those sonic things plus a cat do way more than a little poison.

@BakerBride - we moved into our current house and the previous owner neglected to mention the rat bait scattered in practically every room in the house.

Our dogs ate it and 7 days later (effects take about a week) we were at the er vet. One dog was bleeding from her eyeballs and gums. The other was whimpering in pain, refusing to move. They got treatment and are okay but WTAF!

People be crazy.

Oh my God, I would have been livd. Poor dogs. I've always lived in old buildings and once I was above a restaurant and once across the alley from a grocery store. I can tell you the poison doesn't even work. All that happens is you get blue shit all over and new mice are attracted to whatever is in the poison to entice it. A cat and sonic plugins (admittedly expensive but vital IMO) are all I need. They came, they saw, they left. Problem solved.
