WTF sore throat. I had plans to make it to a bunch of workouts this week but instead I'll have to skip some. Blaaaaahhh. Could be worse, but still bummed.
I have a MAJOR WTF. WTF is this squirrel/rodent/animal doing in my chimney?!?!?! And why did it have to happen while DH is out of town?!?!
I'm waiting on a phone call back from Animal Control, but both my dad and FIL think it's unlikely they will help because it's technically inside my house. I've been referred to either a chimney sweep company or a pest control company as a next resort. Neither my dad nor FIL offered to come take care of it for me - WTF?!?
BTW - while I'm very WTF about this, I also can't help but laugh about it. And just hope I figure out how to get it taken care of as cheaply as possible without the thing dying or getting loose in my house.
@MichelleAG05 ugh...hopefully the critter goes away soon!
My wtf goes to being sick, again...currently laying in bed with little to no voice, virus in my throat, and hurting to swallow. Got the, "do not talk or it will spread down to your larynx" from the doctor. Good times...not.
my wtf, dh told me not to bring lunch today. So i didn’t thinking we were gonna get lunch together. Well i just saw him run out of the office with the manager and construction supervisor to get lunch without me. Ok fine I’ll go get my large strawberry shake without him. And I’m not offering.
@MichelleAG05 what is it with FIL/fathers so quick to drop a damsel when DH is out of town!? Over the summer it was going to be over 90 and the central air was broken, DH was away on business, FIL said you need anything, call. I call to ask if he can put the window unit in after work - he told me to sleep on the couch downstairs with the 1 year old... DH's best friend came to the rescue and put it in
my WTF is my work laptop is 5 min off and it keeps messing me up for meetings. Luckily i'm 5 min early for everything but then i forget again and am pissed everyone else is late.
My wtf is the weather. It is April and crazy winds today plus more snow in the forecast. The winter is never ending and it is seriously making me very upset. I just want to go outside with the kids and actually feel some warmth.
ETA-- after writing this I look out and it's snowing.
The pest control guy just left - we couldn't hear anything in there and he didn't have a ladder so we couldn't check the roof!!! Ugh. LOL I'm hopeful that it got out somehow and he told me to call him again if I hear it and he'll bring a ladder to get on the roof. So crazy!!!
Before fully transitioning into my new position, two other supervisors had to be promoted from the team so that they can take on the extra people. Well one of the them has always been a bit awkward to talk to but it seems to be getting worse since her promotion. Everytime I ask to quickly (like a minute) talk to her, she tells me to email her or put time on her calendar for a chat. Like really??? it's just a quick minute! Today she reached out about wanting to create a new process for projects that need changes before getting permits. Ok fine and it's in my jurisdiction. When I asked her if it involved other certain departments she said "that's not the point" ok...Then I asked what sort of changes are we seeing requested...she said "I don't see how that conversation would be helpful right now". LIKE REALLY?? Your asking another department for support on a process that involves other departments too. Plus a potential new process with one of our partners that I am directly trying to improve. I know that there are other pre-permit processes already in place and I just want to make sure we are not wasting our time. A lot of those who are part of the current communication are people who willingly let themselves fall out of process...You can't ask for help and deny feedback!
Joining in on the sick as fuck wtf. Like yesterday I was totally fine, woke up today and suddenly I'm dying. It can't be the flu since no fever, but I've never been so achy. And I feel like I can't breathe. And my blood sugar has been through the roof, I guess becuase I'm sick. And I have a dam hearing at 8am tomorrow so definitely no sick day tomorrow. Waaa waaa waaa. I hope all the other sickies feel better soon.
I hope everyone gets to feeling better really soon!
@MichelleAG05 I have a funny animal in the house story...right after I got out of college a friend of mine and i moved into an apartment and a bird built a nest in the dryer vent. Somehow it got into the tube and then into the dryer so one day we opened the door and ....BOOM, BIRD! It was terrifying and the damn thing was all over the house squawking. We had a dog and a cat losing their shit and NOTHIGN we did made it go to the door. It took us forever to get it to the balcony and out. Funny afterwards but not in the moment!
@MichelleAG05 I actually had a Bird come through my chimney one day into the house. Flew upstairs. Yeah I called 911 because I was freaking out . Home with my infant child. They sent animal control
My WTF...had an epiphany today about why our toilets have been slow to drain. We are due to have our septic pumped and cleaned and whatever so I called that in and they'll be here tomorrow. Said it sounds like we have a clog, and while not as expensive as I initially thought, still yet another hit on top of the bathroom. WTF HOUSE!?
WTF to my wild toddler today. Two windy rainy days cooped up in the house is driving us both stir crazy. Most recently, before I declared early bed time, he took all of his wooden trains out, dumped them onto the floor and threw them into the air, including the box, screaming “cake!” Why?? He hasn’t had cake in weeks..
WTF to my DH. He was actually being very sweet and blow-drying my hair after I got out of the shower. Then, he looks at me in my robe and states this, "Do saggy boobs go back to normal ever?" UMMMMM.
+1 about weird weather! I do not want any more snow!
@julybabybear ask him if his saggy balls ever go back to normal

WTF my mom's weird cousin who thinks I want her pregnancy, delivery, and baby advice 5 minutes into dinner.
She also has all sorts of opinions on marriage, but spared us from that advice tonight.
Oh, and she's never had a serious relationship, never been married, never been pregnant and has no kids. Is in her mid 50s and lives with her mom. And yet feels like she is somehow an expert on everything. Exhausting.
Ugh, made it through dinner but DH could see I was running out of polite smiles and finally got me out of there.
ETA: Just to clarify, she's not a dummy (3 masters degrees and counting), just a weirdo with opinions on things she has no experience with.
My dad is out of jail and currently driving to Indiana and planning on driving back to New York for his court date on Thursday next week. Fine. I think that's dumb but whatever. WTF is-he keeps researching things trying to justify how out of control he was behind the wheel. "I didn't know I was getting that drunk!" or "My BP meds can exacerbate the drunken feeling that must have been it!" Ok, but even if you didn't KNOW you were getting that drunk you still blew a .21. Even without these meds you were almost 3 times the legal limit. THat's not the meds. THe meds don't raise your BAC, they raise the affect that BAC has on you. so really you were driving as if you were drunker than a .2. Plus you were drinking heavily while operating a vehicle. Just say, " Man I really shouldn't drink and drive. I gotta stop that. I effed up." That would be better here.
Hahaha, love the bird stories @elizabethrn87 and @SmashJam! The flue is now closed, so even if something gets in it won't be able to get into the house. They did say that it's very likely that it's actually between the brick and the chimney shaft, so at some point someone needs to get on the roof and look for an entry point. SO fun!!!
