Happy Tuesday, J15!
Please tell me I am not the only Bumpie feeling a bit PO'd this morning...
So if you have a rant or a complaint, share it here and we can fume together and hopefully we'll all start feeling better.

    Yay! So glad this is here! Why does every single damn customer service call center ask me to leave a message and call back during business hours EVEN THOUGH IM CALLING DURING BUSINESS HOURS! And my insurance reimbursed me twice...didn't make good on one of the deposits because of the mistake AND THEN CHARGED ME FOR THE RETURNED CHECK!

    Lol I'm loving that GIF! Sometimes I think they do it just to make you mad and then turn around and act like you're an irate customer that can't follow simple directions. Also insurance companies are inherently evil, I'm convinced after all of the issues I've had with mine during this pregnancy.

    @frankengibbs that is so inconsiderate!  There is no reason why they couldn't have warned you ahead of time so you could have weighed the pros and cons of going to work to make sure you were doing what was best for you and LO
    @mrswigglewaggle don't even get me started on insurance companies and answering services.  We're trying to get pre-approval for a mortgage and if I hear one more electronic voice telling me that I'm an important customer and they appreciate my patience....and insurance companies are the WORST! 
    @mellymar I'm so sorry you're still sick!  I just got the sick bug really bad today that DH and DD have had for the past week and now my throat is burning, I have no voice (which is difficult with a customer facing job!), headache, and a runny nose.  Hope you feel better soon!

    My awesome colleague I usually work with is off on holidays now I'm stuck with a disgruntled employee who does the bare minimum and refuses to do anything however comments on every fucking thing I do. He disappears for hours at a time falls asleep and has a terrible woe is me attitude and whinges about how everyone does no work! He doesn't do anything!!!!!! Drives me absolutely insane. If the phone rings, he looks at it and waits for me to answer. Another colleague is pregnant and we sometimes talk about our pregnancies and he'll chime in about his pregnant cow and say how he hasn't felt the cow kicking. This post makes me want to kill him.. Argh!!!!!!!

    And maybe it's because there's only a few small weeks to go but god damn am I uncomfortable. Only the last 2 days have I felt so uncomfortable and the acidic stomach blergggghhhg.

    I am annoyed that my DH husband insisted on having a "Diaper Party" because even though I said that I would not plan any of it, here I am frantically putting together invitations and an invite list for him since it's a month out and he has not started doing one thing. Even though I am excited to (hopefully) get a good start on diapers, I know the only reason he really wanted it was for a night of drinking with his buddies... Men! 8-|

    @mellymar I'm sorry you're still feeling crummy! I have a little bit of a scratchy throat and sniffles this morning. So annoying. Hope your doctor can get you fixed up soon!

    So I mentioned this last week, but one of my girlfriends decided she was going to come stay with us at our apartment following my baby shower. It wasn't a huge deal, just tiring to entertain after such a long weekend. We also have a small apartment so she has been sleeping on the couch. It was nice to have company and help hauling all the loot home, but my shower was on Saturday.... It's Tuesday. Not only is she still here but she gave the ok to another one of our male friends to come stay with us last night as well. AH! They are both leaving tonight and none of the help with the nursery that was offered ever happened. Don't get me wrong I love them both but MEH.

    This would definitely get to me. I love having guests... But there definitely is such a thing as overstaying your welcome! I have a cousin who does this and I've learned that when we make plans I need to state a very clear end date AND time, or she absolutely will stay for days longer than I expect her to!

    Right then all the people who lurk hit that crap up. I eventually open them just to see and I know no one that's commented. I stick to symptoms and weekly reg here lately.

    ETA I'm not sure what that hahgah is up there??

    @frankengibbs I can't believe the mom of the kids you watch. It blows my mind that she wouldn't have given you a heads up about illness in her home. Maybe she was worried that you would choose to stay home today, which would be a totally valid decision IMO. But even if that were the case - what's she gonna do if you are unable to watch her kids because you've caught this bug? Makes no sense.

    @devyns2nd you MIL is a trip. Good grief. Some people just baffle me

    ETA - you staying home to avoid illness is a totally valid decision, I mean. Not her keeping an illness a secret

    @frankengibbs I can't believe they didn't take you off work completely. You need to sit around and fatten up ;) you need to come to my house and I'll give you my MILs plate. I still don't fix hers and it always makes me think of you lol. I recently found her hidden stash of canned chili. DH died, she's a big lady and it's killing her to not eat homemade food. We purposely made chili last night and she hasn't eaten any yet.

    She deserves it too. She told me I didn't belong in her family because its shameful for people to know DH is 16 years older than I am and thus baby will ruin his life. All because I won't clean the microwave with bleach.

    Your MIL sounds like a piece of work! From what I've gathered, you and your husband are both adults - who cares if there's a bit of an age difference? Good luck keeping your temper, I think I would've lost mine by now!

    @frankengibbs I hope you stay healthy!

    I think I have a legit rant. I've mentioned before how I live in a small town, and there is really only one pediatricians office (its a kids clinic in a wing of the hospital). This office has 2 drs - Dr N and Dr F. Well, I find out Dr N is leaving (in June, even), but Dr F will be staying, and they will be adding another Dr onto staff later in the summer. So, briefly, Dr F will be a one-horse show. So I'm asking around about how people like Dr F. And everybody hates her. Everybody. They all *love* Dr N. But this other Dr has somehow earned the ire of every person I know with kids (which, admittedly, is not many people). One gal told me that she took her daughter to this Dr at 4 days old for a hematoma on her head *that was noted as being there at birth* and this lady called CPS on her.
    So basically, I'm going to have to work with this lady who I'm probably going to dislike and not trust, at least until the other Dr comes at some point later in the summer. Or, use a family practice doc, which is probably what I will do, but it would be nice to have an actual pediatrician to lean on during the early days.

    I plan on giving this lady every benefit of the doubt, but still... This is not a very optimistic outlook, here.

    This does not sound fun! Good luck @mellymar, I hope Dr F ends up being better than expected!

    @frankengibbs I'd be pissed! @mellymar I'm also losing my patience with the ridiculous posts. I personally don't care to hear a single word about anyone's mucus plug, ever.

    But wouldn't it be SOOO much nicer if we all braided each others hair and shared pictures of our mucus plugs while sipping on our organic placenta infused juicers?! ;;) LOL

    Ugh...I'm so mad...if I catch whatever the kid has I'll be stuck in L&D until I have the baby because I already have the issue of IUGR and it sucks because baby has made so much progress already...
    haha! Oh, totally! Unicorns and rainbows! ;)

    Seriously, I hope you don't catch the bug. Inconsiderate people suck!!!

    What angers me is when people speak before I hope they think. One of my regular patients who knows how far along I am in the pregnancy asked me "How's fatty?" And then was like that wasn't nice was it? Heck no it wasn't nice. I've only gained 9 pounds this whole time and I already feel so huge, I didn't need what body confidence I had left to be crushed. I almost started crying. People can be so rude.
