@gonetothesea OMG Brilliant! I need to make my husband a powerpuff girl!! Except our husbands must look eerily similar because I could just steal your powerpuff husband and pass it off as mine. I also have a brunette, bearded, glasses-and-flannel-wearing DH!

Embarrassing confession of being punked on April Fools Day today and just taking it too hard:

So I sit next to the copier at work and as a result get all sort of copier-related inquires like "do you know how to scan? Why is the printer offline?" Even just making copies people will chat with me about the copier as like a weird small talk and it's disruptive and annoying. 

So today is April fools day and my coworkers got a dozen people from regular partners to division managers to come up to me asking how to use the copier. By the third person I had guessed it was an April Fools joke. But then the copier legit broke and people kept asking me questions. So at that point I assumed it was just a shitty printer day and I had the bad luck of sitting next to it and even more senior people were having issues with the printer so I couldn't be like "stop punking me!"  Well it was still a joke. My coworker was recording how I was visibly trying not to be annoyed by each interaction and politely engage in copy banter about how it's broken. People were like guilting me about why wasn't I calling in a help desk ticket. They told me at the end of the day, and I kind of almost wanted to cry cuz it I felt like it turned into a thing where I was being laughed AT instead of laughing with me. 

So now I'm home and DS was a terror getting picked up where he refused to put shoes or coat on and he finally fell asleep in the car 2 minutes from home and I'm sitting in the car crying cuz I've just kind of had it with today.

Perhaps they are brothers from another mother?!

@Megzb510 That's really crummy, I would have felt picked on too. Sorry you had such a rough day. I hope your DS lets you relax tonight.

@Megzb510 I'm sorry. That doesn't sound like a very nice April Fool's day prank. I can understand how you'd feel like people were laughing at you not with you. 

To make you feel better here is a gif of an adorable chicken hug:

My FFFC is that I don't look at baby/nursery stuff because I'm honestly not interested in it.  I've always hated decorating and picking out clothes and it transfers to any future offspring too.  That's more my DH's area.  But I definitely look up everything on getting pregnant.  So I more than make up for it.

******TW. Ds mentioned


Me too....compounded with the fact that my son never had a nursery, he slept in our room until8 months or so, then we just set up his bedroom a if he was already a preschooler with a floor bed and low shelves. 

******TW over

@Megzb510 The car nap is the worst. Hope your ds went to sleep like normal and let you get some shut eye

My confession is that I feel so bad that I mobile bump and it's too hard to do the massive feedback posts that so many people do where they respond to everyone in WTO/TWW. And now I feel like I'm not the only one worried about this cuz people are preemptively saying "so sorry I gotta post n ghost". I love and appreciate the massive responses but I just can't do it on mobile! It deletes when you switch pages and that drives me mad. 

Ugh yes I feel the same.  I have no other way to access the bump and I feel like such a jerk when I can't respond to everyone.  I've done it a few times by typing my responses into a word document when I have been able too at work and then emailing myself and copying into TB app but that's a lot of work and I can't do it all the time.  I do try when I am able though.

I only really respond if I have something new to say @Megzb510 ; it is too hard on mobile. I think everyone knows that the app is frustrating and no one holds it against us.

I honestly think it would be really annoying if literally everyone responded to everyone on every post. Respond if you have something to say, and one or 2 people doing a bug roundup works, but everyone doing the big round up posts would give miles of stuff to wade/read through every day
