WTF Wednesday

mrsschmity · November 2015

What is going on in your life today that makes you think WTF?

Note: Next week we'll try out the AW Wednesday!

-----------------------------------------

****Need some feedback****

So, I've seen some other boards try out some different weekly threads. One of them switching from "WTF Wednesday" to "AW (attention whore) Wednesday" where you basically brag about something happening in your life or something you/someone else did.

What do you think? Should we stick with WTF Wednesday or give AW Wednesday a try?

If you don't care either way, then just put your WTF on this thread

"WTF" just seems to sum up my life today, you know, with three babies and all!

I'm good with either WTF or AW Wednesday.

MillerMama13 · November 2015

I don't care either way. But one thing I will say is that I think AW will give us a different type of thread. As twatwaffle, bitchfest, and UO usually all end up being just a bitch session, which is totally fine by me. Since I feel we deserve to bitch and it's usually interesting.

Why not both? Or is that too confusing? Idk. I'm just rambling.

DeePaddy24 · November 2015

I'm fine with either, really. I do agree that AW Wednesday would give a different type of thread...but, WTF Wednesday just seems to feel relatable to me at the moment, lol. Whatever the majority of the ladies want, is a-okay with me!

mrsschmity · November 2015

I had the same thought track @MillerMama13...the other daily threads give us all a chance to bitch and get things off our chest, which is great, but an AW Wednesday lets us share some good/positive stuff too.

I think it might get a bit confusing, or just too much, to have multiple daily threads. So I'd rather stick with just one, but that's just me lol

hockeyfan42 · November 2015

I like the idea of an AW thread to change it up maybe? But it doesn't make much difference to me as I can put any "raves" in the daily symptom thread if I want.... Eventually we'll have a weekly HDBD thread I'd imagine.

mrsschmity · November 2015

Agreed @hockeyfan42, I think once the majority of us are past the "blump" stage we'll start doing HDBD

Might be good to mix things up until then, but I don't care either way!

ella26 · November 2015

Hey ladies, I looked at The Bump glossary and couldn't find HDBD, what does that mean? Sorry to be a noob.

It means Hump Day Bump Day, basically everyone posts pictures of their bump when they have one! Right now I'm pretty sure all of us are just bloated

mrsschmity · November 2015

And don't worry @ella26 I asked the same question when I first got to the June board. I'm a FTM so I haven't participated in any BMBs in the past! Had no idea what HDBD meant.

ella26 · November 2015

Thanks @mrsschmity

cassy0407 · November 2015

I agree with @MillerMama13. I think the AW thread will give us a "change of scenery". Why not try something new?

ETA: Words. I really overused the word "thread".

mrsschmity · November 2015

Ok, maybe I'll go ahead and change the title of this thread then, and everyone can start attention-whoring themselves

*ETA we'll just continue with WTF Wednesday today, and next week we'll start AW Wednesday

crdo · November 2015

As much as I like WTF Wednesday, I think it might be fun to do AW Wednesday to mix it up a little.

I didn't know what HDBD meant until scrolling through the thread either. Haha!

Since the title today is WTF Wednesday....I just finished up lunch. Went down just fine. Got up to get back to my desk, and had to make a mad dash to the bathroom to throw up. Got there, and the feeling passed--false alarm. WTF! Either puke or don't, and don't freaking sneak attack me either, stomach.

The next few weeks should be fun.

mrsschmity · November 2015

@jaceyannie I can imagine finding out there are 3 little humans inside would be a shock! Wow!

@crdo That sounds fun

My WTF today...my freaking blump. This morning I walked into the bathroom while H was taking a shower. I looked in the mirror and let out a heavy sigh. He asked what was wrong, and I told him it looks like I have a beer gut with all this bloat. He peeks out of the shower and says "That's not all bloat, you're pushing your stomach out". Yeah no hunny. This is all bloat.

The "Oh wow" comment that followed was unneccessary, but luckily he covered his ass with a "You're still beautiful babe, baby bloat and all".

Kballew10 · November 2015

@crdo - The same thing happened to me! I ate my lunch, thought "that wasn't so bad!", and 2 seconds later was leaning over the kitchen sink debating whether or not I could make it to the bathroom before lunch re-appeared. Also a false alarm. Sorry that you feel awful!

I don't mind either thread as long as nobody judges me for AW-ing that I put clean dishes away! I was really proud of myself for that. So that's just a preview of things to come for my daily accomplishments...

As for a WTF, I'll go with all of my co-workers who ignored my first email warning them that we were changing things and then freaked the f**k ut when we changed things and they weren't prepared! So. Many. Questions. I almost hurt myself rolling my eyes at every "urgent" response that I got...

cassy0407 · November 2015

I just kicked 2 people out of my office, slammed the door and puked violently into my garbage can underneath my desk. @crdo, I empathize with those "sneak attacks"

This concludes my WTF Wednesday rant.. for now..

Mr0616 · November 2015

@kballew10 - doing laundry would count as a win in my book

mrsschmity · November 2015

@Kballew10 no judgement from me on the AW'ing. Lately I'm just happy if I'm able to put pants on in the morning.

crdo · November 2015

@Kballew10: Glad yours was a false alarm too! And kudos on putting away the clean dishes! My nemesis is clean laundry.

@cassy0407: Oh no! Sneak attacks are the worst. Sorry yours had such a vengeance....ugh.

You still have pants that fit?! I'm jelly.

mrsschmity · November 2015

I need to add on to my WTF.

I'm at work and we just got out of our department meeting where we learned about the fate of our team for next year. It sounds like the we will all be laid off by then end of the year. They are basically just keeping enough people on to finish out the rest of the existing project before 2016. So now I get to try and look for a new job. Joy.

mrsschmity · November 2015

@candicek15 for the time being, yes. It won't be long before I bust out my belly band and walk around with my jeans unbuttoned every day

Kballew10 · November 2015

@mrsschmity - That's awful! I hope you find another one soon!

goldie987 · November 2015

I'm sorry @mrsschmity, that sucks so bad! Hope you don't have too much trouble finding something.

@cassy0407, puking sympathizer here. Was feeling nauseous, ate lunch, felt better, 20 seconds later I was sprinting down the hall praying I made it to the bathroom.

I'm totally on board with AW wednesday as long as, like @kballew10 and @KOR121 said, mediocre things like dishes and laundry can count as celebrate-able accomplishments.

mrsschmity · November 2015

Thanks guys. Looking for a job while pregnant was definitely not on my to do list.

Mr0616 · November 2015

Ugh that sucks @mrsschmity! At least you have long tenure. Are you covered insurance wise?

mrsschmity · November 2015

@KOR121 thankfully yes, both H and I are also covered under his employees insurance

alsbaldwin · November 2015

That stinks @mrsschmity! I guess at least you have a head's up...?

WTF to my coworker being on death's door sick and still coming in to work. And coughing all over my desk and keyboard.

mrsschmity · November 2015

@alsbaldwin yes that is a positive. Grateful to have a boss who is very transparent with our team and told us ahead of time.

On the bright side, I just got home and my prints from Shutterfly came in the mail

Finally starting to finish up decorating the upstairs.

cassy0407 · November 2015

@sgoldberg247 UGH! Please tell me you made it! When does this madness end?!

Oh no!!! I'm so sorry to hear that! Do you get a good severance package? Do you think you can hold off on looking for something until after your little one comes?

ETA: Words are hard today...

mrsschmity · November 2015

@cassy0407 we should get a severance package. Although I don't think it'll be much, it will at least be something. I don't think I could go the next 7 months without a job. I could collect unemployment if I wanted to until baby is born, but I would rather try and find something before going that route.

Fortunately yes, but half the floor saw me running down the hall gagging. I can only have a stomach bug for so long so hopefully this ends soon!

cassy0407 · November 2015

@mrsschmity Makes total sense. I'm definitely rooting for you. FX that things work out sooner rather than later! Please let me know if there is anything I can do (even from afar)... HUGS!

@sgoldberg Please let me know what your next excuse will be... I'm running out of good ones myself...

mrsb8244 · November 2015

@mrsschmity I am so sorry to hear about your job! T & P with you!

I also agree the AW board will be a nice change of pace and definitely think dishes and laundry should be applauded. I've basically been non-existent all week with nausea I just want to go to sleep when I get home!

Patience7150 · November 2015

Two WTFs here, both related to being on work travel for training:

1- WTF instructor who keeps holding us late. I appreciate your random historical stories, but when it makes me stay longer than your allotted time, my attention to them no longer exists. No, I don't want to stay later, I want to go to the hotel and take my pants off.

2- WTF restaurants on packing your food so full of sodium. I am already naturally struggling with bloat, but when your food makes me blow up like a blimp, I am about 4 sizes larger by the end of the day.

And to combine it with an AW - I'm traveling with a coworker who seems to have no suspicion I'm pregnant...so I've got that going for me.

Agree with PP that a positive day of the week to celebrate even the little things (like dishes @kballew10! Totally an accomplishment!) might be a nice change of pace!

mrsschmity · November 2015

Thanks ladies

Appreciate the support

satcher08 · November 2015

I love the idea of an AW thread next week. For today, WTF team teacher. How dare you come into my classroom and undermine me in front of my students. You are my partner, not my boss and I assure you your shit stinks just as bad as everyone else's. **end rant**

mrsp2213 · November 2015

the head of our department decided on whirlyball for our christmas party this year. i was really not wanting to tell work until the new year but now i'm likely going to have to spill the beans before christmas. and the entire department will know. yay.

ETA: as this is a bumper car type of activity i am guessing i cannot participate, hence the spilling of the beans.

Linsbins · November 2015

AW Wednesday is way better. Plus people usually share pics of what they're bragging about and you get to know people.

My WTF is work. It's getting better...I teach kindergarten and still have a kid who can't write his name. The mom isn't worried. Wtf lady his name is only four letters long! Plus she's a raging a**hole and cussed me out in front of my students last week.

Want a personalized experience?
