My manager again is being a giagantic TWATWAFFLE. I just estimated a project for him and based on our estimation system it will take between 7-12 hours to complete. He wants it done by noon tomorrow which is 8 hours, I'm now trying to make my email to him sounds nice, but basically say his expectations aren't realistic and that if you want to be realistic I can get it to you by EOD tomorrow. It pisses me off that he is setting me up to fail on this, but giving me this deadline. BS!!

Everything is a twatwaffle today. This nausea, this rain, the NYC subway, people. I hate everything today.. I even hate the fact that I'm being such a grumpalump. :-(
My boss. Definitely caught him changing my times to get rid of overtime (which I have permission to work). This is just another shady thing on a loooong list shady things happening here. My job sucks.
Co worker is being a twatwaffle. Don't call and ask me a question about something you don't know to only call back and say I'm wrong when I know I'm right THEN call back and say you "found" the right one. To be fair it's MY job to know what chemicals are used for what and your job to work on tires and sell what chemicals I tell you too!! Let's add I'm also the youngest employee in our company and often second guessed even though I have a bachelors degree and have worked for this company for 3 years. Sorry just needed to rant!!
DH. We've been waiting for the internet company to come bury our connection line for a few weeks. Yesterday he runs over it with a lawnmower -_- They can't fix it until tomorrow and we have a limited data plan. Grrrrrrrrr!
This is technically a good thing but we have a community table at work that is always filled with food. Today there are two bags of chips, donuts, Dove chocolate, a tub of pretzels and then there was a breakfast for a conference this morning with fruit and bagels. Plus, I bring my own lunch and snacks from home. I can't stop eating. I literally snack all day. So, I am the twatwaffle who can't control herself!
Tiredness and nausea. My 3-year old hasn't had an accident in months and wet the bed last night at 2:30 so I'm a total zombie today. And yeah well just want to fast forward through the next few weeks until the nausea clears.

Ds watched over the hedge twice this morning while I was cleaning and all I could think about was Pringles afterwards. I have since eaten half a container and will probably finish off the rest. I was so good until that damn movie!

Do you have a way to prove what your actual hours are? I would totally go above him and bring this to his boss and your HR department. I know there are a lot of factors that go into labor-related claims but I'm fairly certain that's illegal if you're eligible for overtime.

My ex-close-friend. She came to the BF'ing group where I volunteer today. She used to volunteer there too, and she got upset about something related to that and blames me, which if she would hear my side of things instead of assuming shit, she would learn that she is mad at the wrong person … but that's not why she's a twatwaffle today. With my last baby there was a girl we were both friends with who wanted to be pregnant and wasn't getting pregnant as fast as she wanted (it ended up taking her one cycle longer than me, so 3 months). When I got preg, she refused to acknowledge or congratulate me, even though we are good friends. My twatwaffle friend made a *huge* deal about this, trying to get me upset with the girl, even though I kept telling the TW that I totally understood her feelings. She insisted it didn't matter; that since she was my friend she absolutely sucked for not saying congrats. She was pregnant a month later, and TW said I better not say congrats, which was ridiculous - of course I did; I was super happy for her. Fast forward to now, and TW refuses to even acknowledge this pregnancy. She's not struggling with any issues - she just had a baby and is totally done. 8m ago, I had a MC (something she also experienced) while she was pregnant with her new baby, and she was practically heartless when she found out ("oh sorry - maybe you shouldn't have been trying to have another baby already" (my baby was 8m old). Anyway, today the way she ignored and loudly changed the subject every time anyone started talking to be about the baby just really ducking pissed me off. She's such an argumentative always-has-to-be-right twatwaffle, and i can't believe we were ever friends. She also told someone that I "wanted my son to have autism so I could get special services for him" UH F YOU, no. X(

Sorry for the überlong rant; I don't like to blast her to anyone in our small town, bc i do volunteer several places in our community, and I don't want to be gossipy, so I don't really have anyone to vent about her.

My boss for sure. He requests something by EOD today but then calls a 2 hour long meeting...um no. Holla at me in the morning.
@MrsBroughton15 this is one of my all-time favorite gifs and your post reminded me of it. This is what goes through my head when people at work ask me for stuff when I'm busy

My sinuses! On top of having hormomal headaches for 3 days in a row (panadol is stupid) i now have a headcold and cant take anything! DH says suck it up - so he is a twatwaffle too.
My husband's grandmother. She somehow managed to find out that we are expecting-a long story but neither my husband or I have told anyone in the family except one person (and it wasn't her) and she decided to call and tell everyone on his side of the family. Thank you for telling news that isn't yours and taking the excitement out of being able to tell his parents and mine. Ugh rant over...I feel bad for feeling this way but it's just rude, especially when she was shady in how she found out.

The horrible dream that just woke me up from a perfectly beautiful nap is a twatwaffle. So is the teacher who waited until the week before school to retire, causing my class schedule to change. Hello three new classes I've never taught before!
These dreams. All of them. I'd rather not have them. For days now it's been nothing but 3 a.m. waking up in a panic. And also, this Texas heat. I felt like I was gonna pass out today after walking up the stairs. Can't wait for second trimester, hopefully all these irritants will pass.
My dh is also a twatwaffle today. My ms has been back the last two days and basically I am hungry and nauseous all the time. Today at 1030 I got that hungry but feel like I'm going to throw up feeling and asked him if he would make me a grilled cheese. To which his response was "are you sure you want to eat something so fattening. You said you didn't want to gain too much weight" ugh! Which of course made hormonal me cry because I have been worrying non stop about how much I have been eating and didn't need to hear it from him too. So now I'm hungry and nauseous but nothing "healthy" appeals to me and feeling guilty about the Pringles I ate earlier too. I know dh only had good intentions, but seriously this ball of hormones cannot handle it!
The ridiculous cold I have that I can't take anything for, and the fact that my brand new four plex has a waterbreak that had to happen in my bedroom..... right after I get back from my vacation. Was look forward to coming home and sleeping my cold off and the musty smell and loud fan(to dry out the carpets an repair them) is enough to drive a pregnant women MAD! Oh and my land lord for barging in at 11 am after we just got home at 530 from a 15 hour drive. ~X( (:|
The spiders taking over my in-laws basement that we're living in right now! Last night we found a wolf spider on the stairs. I am seriously afraid of spiders. There are so many this year!!!

I started suspecting something was up with my punches a couple weeks about so I started taking screen shots. Really long story short this is one of many shady things that has been going on. I asked him about the descrepency nonchalantly (the time was changed by two minutes causing it to revert to 15 minutes later- it's a weird system where it rounds up or down depending on the exact minute your punch is received) and he tie to brush it off blaming the system and changing the subject until I told hm I have a screen shot of my punches from Friday. You can be the changed it back really quickly all the while acting like he's trying to figure out the glitch in the system.
I'm actually kind of scared to go to hr because I feel like I have a target on my back due to all the other weird stuff happening. There is SO much more too it. I work for a really large corporation. I know that the facts that I've never had any warnings or documentation of any issues (I've actually made a good name for myself here) and that I'm pregnant help me but I'm still really uncomfortable. I also don't have much faith in our HR here. So yeah, I'm just trying to do my work and fly under the radar because I don't know what else to do.
Alabama. I was looking forward to having a midwife, birth center or home birth since this will be my last pregnancy. I found out all of those are ILLEGAL here in Alabama. I am so disappointed.

Fuck that backwater hillbilly state! Sigh... that was harsh and probably not entirely accurate. Their medical system sounds backwards as hell though. I bet they have a high c section rate. Have you looked into using a doula?

@lindscnn1 I'm here in AL with you - I actually was on the committee for miles 4 midwives (not this year though) and 4 of my friends have recently (this year) had homebirths with midwives. There *ARE* midwives willing to do it, you just have to find them. I was going to with my first, but ended up not (for several reasons). I'd consider it again with this one, but I have a super natural-birth friendly OB now who was amazingly supportive of zero interventions with my last babe, and I just want to use hospital's tub and him again.

Seriously praying I can do a tub birth in the new hospital we're going to this time. Our other one would only allow you to labor in the tub.

ah yes, i also had a friend drive up to the Farm in TN for her first, but she doesn't want to do it with her second bc now she has a toddler. i had talked to my husband about doing that the first time, and he wasn't comfortable with the 3hr drive while i am in labor. (good thing! something we didn't know at the time - i have FAST labors.) just start asking around - do you have any "crunchy" friends (i hate that term LOL)? i will ask mine that had HBs if they are willing to share hteir midwives' info. back with #1 i had found one in b'ham that my doula had used with her 4th, but after a phone interview with her i knew she wasn't the right mw for us, and i'd rather have a hospital birth than a mw i had no confidence in. not sure if she is still around, but i *may* still have her contact info. we would have had major personality conflicts, but it is entirely possible that she is a decent mw. i could tell you more about that in a PM. i know at least one of my friends had her mw come over from GA (and maybe two of them); we are an hour closer to GA than you. i'll find out what i can
