Whiny Thursday

Well, since we've started our Friday whines early, here goes...
I'm feeling down. Probably PMS and I know I have it way easier than some people. I only work 15 hrs a week and we're finally doing OK financially. Not great but OK. But the woman I work for is in such a bad mood most days. It's such a downer. I like to be around positive people b/c negative people just totally drain my energy. I feel bad that they feel bad and then I'm in a bad mood too. At work I have to bring my own computer. Since I prefer Macs and only own a desktop Mac, well then I haul that thing over to the office on Mondays and take it home Fridays. This weekend I'm going to configure my husband's Dell so I can just take his laptop, because I've had it. They expect me to bring my own equipment, which is just, well, so wrong.
Normally, my son goes to daycare twice a week but this isn't working out well with work, so I'm switching him to a new daycare with longer hrs in June. This means that lately I've had to leave an hour early some days so I can relieve my husband of baby duty. Well, today my supervisor was mad about that, and my husband was mad that I wasn't home earlier! He says, "I'm not babysitting for you anymore." WTF!!!! I cried on the way home from work. I told him, first, you're not babysitting, he's your son, and second, maybe I should just quit work and you can support us fully. And you can tell your parents to send us money b/c one salary ain't going to cut it. The nerve!! He's sooo in the dog house right now.
I understand my supervisor needs me to work the hrs I signed up for, but I can finish up the work from home and some days I leave early anyways b/c there isn't enough work! So I'm bored in the office, Adrian is in daycare, and she doesn't give me enough work to finish my shift. Not her fault, work comes in late sometimes, and she doesn't have a child so I'm sure she couldn't care less about my daycare issues. But still...
Anyway, I guess I feel down b/c I wish I was in Florida right now, and my parents could pick up the slack sometimes. And my MIL? She can't even take a plane to see her grandson. Adrian will be 2 this summer and she hasn't met him yet, she's missed his entire infancy! That's just so sad.
I need a break. I want to go to the movies, go dancing, go to a bar and have a drink. And not pay a frikin' babysitter to do all that. I know I should suck it up, but sometimes I've had enough, you know? DH is working his arse off so he's little help with household chores. He hates his job right now so he's in a bad mood too.
That's pretty much it. I know it could be worse but I just had to take a load off. And I don't have anyone to talk to b/c everyone is busy and stressed with their own crap. And my parents? Forget it, they're too judgemental. Luckily, they're coming to visit in a month, I can't wait. They don't visit enough 
Me: 44 DH: 42.

We should all get a BIG glass of wine for whiny Thursday. Here ya go.
I am picking up a bottle of wine (thinking white) on my way back from T's `Spring Concert` tonight. The music teachers have decided to butcher a Beatle`s medley....at least the grade six band won`t be playing tonight...
I really can't believe you have to bring your own computer to work. That's nuts!
Again ((((hugs))))
In high school we butchered Motown...and the Mama's and the Papa's. Our teacher's should have been shot.
