What are you annoyed about today?

My Monday bi*** is where are the pools?! We can’t find one anywhere!! We always have an above ground pool but the liner broke last year! I need the pool companies to get on it! 😂

My b**** is schools that want you to write and submit ESSAYS along with your application, resume, etc.

@photographerwife My ILs are having the same problem!  They're wanting to put in an above ground pool this summer and had planned to since before all this COVID stuff started happening.  They can't find a pool anywhere.  And our community pool is closed this summer because of COVID.  Thankfully we still have lakes/rivers to go swim in, but I miss going to the pool.

I f*cking hate my job. I'm honestly going to start considering positions that come to me from recruiters through LinkedIn. I'm pretty sure this place has become bad for my health because nobody cooperates or puts any care into what they do.

How is it that Dr's are still so late to virtual visits!?! We only have 30 minutes scheduled and I have a meeting right after this sooo. I've done one before and the Dr was literally 25 minutes late for a 10 minute appointment and so far the Ob this afternoon is 10 minutes late.

@krash_ YEP! My RE was super late to our last virtual visit, this time when I scheduled my post-transfer WTF appointment (the appointment you have when your transfer fails ) I took the first spot of the morning, her admin told me she shouldn't be running late by that point Hopefully I get to cancel that one, but if not at least I don't have to sit anxiously waiting!

Covid has f'ed everything up it seems.  It has delayed treatment for so many of us on the IF side.  Not to mention the upheaval with the lockdown and not being able to go out.  And then this recent mess with racial intolerance has tensions at a high.  Black lives matter, and we need to be heard saying it.  It's not about everyone else right now, it's about those who need our support.

@mvt2003 I feel silly asking, but what does "WTF" mean because I always read that as "what the fuck appointment" and I know that's not what it is lol. Although maybe it fits because it's a "what the fuck why didn't that transfer work" appointment 

@SesshomaruMom it is so hard to find anything positive these days!

manillabar

@inthewoods23 that’s what I always read it as too!

mvt2003

@inthewoods23 @manillabar You're correct, that's exactly what it is! It's the "what the f*ck appointment" to discuss what happened during the cycle, what went well and what didn't, and what to do next time. For my RE it also usually kicks off my next cycle too. I've been told that if I do get KU and stay KU, then I'll be cancelling that appointment, but you have to make it before you transfer just in case.

@krash_ @mvt2003 I agree it's super annoying with appointments, especially if it happens every time or if it's the first appointment of the day when they SHOULD be on time!! But, I know that I've been late for virtual appointments with my patients because the prior patient took too long, or had trouble using the technology, or there was an emergency. But agree it's super annoying if the same doc is late every single time!! I used to see a psychiatrist that was always running super late and I ended up switching doctors because it was so annoying and impaired our therapeutic relationship. 

@inthewoods23 I'm so sorry about your job Completely agree that a difficult workplace is bad for your health!!

@mvt2003 is that the official name or just what you call it? Mine were always much more nicely referred to as "what's next" appointments.

mvt2003

@inthewoods23 I mean, my clinic doesn't call it that  

But it's one of those acronyms people use online when discussing IF. https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/3024399/what-does-wtf-mean-in-all-these-wtf-appointment-posts I actually think it's one of the least-discussed parts of a cycle, since no one wants to have the appointment!

@mvt2003 I was REALLY hoping that it was written as "WTF Appointment" on your insurance bill!! 

mvt2003

@emeraldduchess Speaking of IVF bills haha!! 

Today's b*tchfest is that I got a statement in the mail that my bill for my anesthesia for egg retrieval was still due, the only problem is that I paid that well over a month ago with my FSA debit card. I panicked thinking I had paid the wrong people, only to call the billing department and be told that my payment was processed after they created that statement. How long do these people sit on statements?!?!?! 

inthewoods23

I just had a 1 hour long bitch/vent fest with my boss about the incident that happened this morning. Feeling much better, but I still hate that guy who was an ass to us. The whole thing just caught me on a really bad day.

emeraldduchess

@inthewoods23 so many hugs, friend. I'm sorry someone was an ass to you. Clearly he does not know you're a delightful person and deserve better!
