Monday Bitchfest

mrsschmity · November 2015

It's Monday...Pity Part Bitchfest is here. Got something you need to get off your chest? Go ahead and let it all out.

mrsschmity · November 2015

Ok, I promise this will be one of the last times I gripe about my work/job situation, but I need to get this off my chest before I freak the fuck out on someone.

A little backstory: I'm a Project Manager. My company is making some changes. One of those changes is that my entire team (minus a handful who are getting re-positioned) is getting laid off. As some of you know, on Friday I finally found out an overall timeline. December 31st will be my last day.

Here's the kicker - the new Project Manager (who has been here for 2 months) gets to stay. Tell me why someone who has been here for 2 months with no industry experience whatsoever gets to stay vs. someone who's been here 6 years and knows our product like the back of my hand. I have never had a bad review, have worked my way from the bottom up, and proven myself multiple times both internally and with our clients.

I didn't find this out until Friday night - after I admitted to my boss that I was, in fact, pregnant. I am so effing irritated.

@mrsschmity that seriously sucks! Life can be so unfair sometimes

(

My PPBF is also about work- we are short staffed today, I am super nauseous and I have a 5 minute lunch break to stuff a PB&J in my mouth.

My co-workers SUCK so I feel like I'm doing all the work around here even though I feel like absolute shit.

Mr0616 · November 2015

@mrsschmity perhaps their pay is way lower than yours? Cheaper to keep that person on? This is something my company would do.

Mine for today...I swear my office makes me sick. Within 10 minutes of being here everyday I start getting the chills all day long. I need an air quality test now. Because that's possible. The building was built in the 80's. Who knows what's in these walls.

mrsschmity · November 2015

@laurenm2123 I hope your day gets better!!

Thankfully I get to leave in about a half hour for an onsite visit with a client. They are feeding me Chipotle. I'll be there for an hour, then I'm going home.

Since you mentioned PB&J I'm pretty sure that's what I'm going to have for dinner tonight

H can have all the spaghetti.

mrsschmity · November 2015

@KOR121 Who knows, that very well could be. It's just really shitty all around and I'm being salty about it lol There is nothing I can do though, so I might as well quit bitching about it.

Maybe the building you're in has mold or something in the vents? I would consider bringing that up with your HR department so they can talk to the building management!

jerseybroadwaybaby · November 2015

I am so friggin pissed at my students right now! We are into tech week for our show and they have done just about everything they can to make my job a million times harder! Every thing I do to further the show they throw a monkey wrench into! Like when I put all the bios into the playbill this morning then had to redo it because a fake one was put in there which meant reformatting the WHOLE DAMN THING!!! Now I'm getting call outs for today's rehearsal. Guess what! I show up and do my job! So should you!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr stupid teenagers!!!

colesmom33 · November 2015

I just have to bitch about my mom! Just a little backstory, my parents divorced when I was 6 years old and from that point on, it was all about her and her dating life! Over the last few years, she's gotten a lot better and actually quit dating for years and years. During this time, she was such a loving mother and grandmother to my nieces and nephews. My sister and I joke that they don't know the mom we grew up with. This past summer she got on a dating site and met some guy that she fell in love with immediately. He's had zero interest in getting to know us and never comes to any family things. Whatever, my sister and I have our own lives now. Good for her. Fast forward to this week/weekend. As I posted before, I found out last week that I'm having triplets but one isn't growing as it should. The doctor is concerned about the risks of someone my age carrying triplets. We have our appointment today to find out how the third one is doing and what we do next. I've been so upset all weekend - part of me is so sad that one of my babies probably won't make it and then another part of me feels so guilty for knowing its for the best. I'm having horrible dreams. It's been one of the worst weekends of my life! Meanwhile, my mom broke up with said boyfriend (after dating for about 4 months). She's called me twice a day to let me know how upset she is. Not one word of comfort for me, not one question about how I'm doing. Ugh, she's the worst sometimes!!!

augbride87 · November 2015

UGH can I bitch about DH! I love him but he is driving me CRAZY. He complains that we have only been having sex once a week or so---my drive is non-existent right now which he knows. Yet he wont initiate and then huffs around the house because he is "deprived". I am not a big initiator anyway, but even less right now. If you want sex then initiate it!! Dont get pissed at me because YOU want to have sex but wont start something!! GRRR rant over.

jerseybroadwaybaby · November 2015

I'm sorry @jaceyannie! My moms been really sucky during my pregnancy thus far too. It stinks!!! We are here for you! Lots of good vibes your way

That's so nice and made me tear up!! Thank you so much!! I'm sorry about YOUR mom! I guess as we know better, we'll do better!

crdo · November 2015

@mrsschmity: That blows! I had the same thought as @kor121--maybe the new PM is cheaper to keep? Sorry lady! Vent away.

@laurenm2123: Hope your day improves! Really sucks when people don't pull their own weight at work.

@KOR121: I second @mrsschmity's suggestion that it may be worth it to bring up the air concern with HR. Could be a fixable issue?

@jerseybroadwaybaby: God bless your soul for working with teenagers.

@jaceyannie: Man, that's rough. I hope I'm not overstepping here, but it sounds like your mom is very self-centered, sadly. Her drama is the last thing you probably need right now. If it were me, I might just be "busy" when she calls.

NicknShan · November 2015

@MrsSchmitty sorry your job is being sucky. And I want chipotle... But it's been a bit of an aversion. So sad. I can pity that.

@jaceyannie. I am so sorry. I'll be sending prayers your way.

I am going to have a ppbf at the IRS. We got audited, and it turns out we must not have submitted something back in 2013 regarding stocks, so we owe over 2k. I know they are just doing heir job, and taxes are taxes, and it was probably our oversight that it wasn't included, but I am still going to be mad at the IRS. Merry Christmas.

MillerMama13 · November 2015

I'm a quality engineer and we have been dealing with this quality issue for going on 4 months now. No one wants to take the blame for what's causing the problem. I had to travel to the suppliers shop last week (we suspect they're causing it) and verify a bunch of crap. Of course every part they ran in my presence appeared to be perfect. But the previous night they send us bad pieces and even more today. We now have a total of $40,000 in scrap that no one is taking ownership of. Plus we have shut down assembly because we don't have any good parts to give them.

Plus I forgot to put on deodorant this morning. Thank goodness I keep a back up in my purse.

FutureMrsCAF · November 2015

DH slacked on the dishes this weekend, so now I'm trying to clean the kitchen and something in the sink REEKS and I want to puke. I would just leave it for him but I have to go to the grocery store and can't stand having dirty dishes on the counter when I bring groceries in, and he's getting home super late tonight and won't do it anyways. Ugh. I swear, it's easier to keep the house clean when he isn't home during the week.

goldie987 · November 2015

My MIL. She means well but her excitement about this baby is a bit much. She asks me every day or two if I'm feeling better yet (uh, no, it's not usually a one or two week deal, you were the one who was so excited when I started feeling sick) and then sends me ideas (have you tried soup? Here's what webmd says, what about apples? Are you sure there is nothing at all that sounds appetizing?). I've told her I am going off the list of safe remedies from my doctor and will not be trying anything else but that hasn't worked yet.

She has been sending us pintrest finds for cute announcements. If we wanted to do one, we would be perfectly capable of doing so. You had your time to tell people in a cute way when you were a first time mom, let us have our time now. She knows we're planning on telling our grandparents at thanksgiving and I'm half worried she's going to have a whole big thing for how to do it and when. Ugh.

She started sending us online lists of atrocious "unique" baby names yesterday. "It's still early but..." does not make it okay to start trying to suggest names at under 8 freaking weeks gestation. I'm still nervous about making it through the first trimester with a healthy baby, let alone names and paint colors and whatever else she already has planned in her head.

I know it could be worse, she could be not interested at all, and to the ladies who are going through that, I'm sorry if this comes off as super ungrateful but it just feels like she is trying to be a third member of the "parents" team. Maybe it's because my mom and I have a very different relationship where she knows if we need help, I'll ask her, whereas my MIL operates on a "I'll help unless I'm explicitly told not to".

Sorry for the super long rant. It felt really good to get out though.

We have the same MIL! Mine is the same way. She was not even happy about us being pregnant at first but now she's planning out our trip for when we come visit in Sept of NEXT year! She's buying tickets to Disney which was completely her idea. And she even said "when we go to Disney I'll take DD for half the day and you guys can have the baby, then we'll switch and you take DD and I'll take the baby". Ummmmmm no. I'm going to have both of my children with me the whole time. She seems to do this for every visit. She wants alone time with DD. I think she likes to play Mom or something. And she already expressed her dislike for one of the names that we like and suggested another name instead. I already love the name she dislikes but now I love it even more knowing she doesn't. I'm evil, I know.

JonesBaby0624 · November 2015

My boyfriend told his mom about the baby last night. She said horrible things about me and about this pregnancy. I was not there but pushed him to tell me what she said, so I know he didn't tell me everything and was probably sugar coating what he did tell me. I am so angry!!! She barely knows me and totally trashed me.

TwoBadMice · November 2015

I share an office with 2 guys, one is a fucking sneaky ass mother fucker and I can't stand working with him any longer. We are moving into a smaller office. I specifically asked him about seating arrangements because 1. They are never in the office and 2. I've been here 3 years longer than him and the other guy just started a month ago so I feel like I should have some Say. both are out of town this week and I just found out they fucking conspired together with out asking me and put me in a super inconviement spot in the room that people are walking by all fucking day. I'm so fucking pissed.

Similar boat over here. I've been going to bed way earlier than him. He complains that we rarely have sex anymore, but when I tell him its bedtime for me, does he follow me upstairs and try to start something? Nope. Keeps watching tv or playing his video game

OMG yes!!! DH does that too. Usually during the week its better, but once Thursday hits he doesn't go to bed till 11 and much later on the weekend.

This is my MIL!!! With my first, she would text me saying she picked out the entire nursery! She bought gobs and gobs of stuff, I started to feel like I wasn't able to pick out anything for my own baby! It was so overwhelming! I feel for you!!

staceymwiggins · November 2015

DH has the week off to hunt. Asshole.

Today is dance class for DD and he will be off in the woods having his dang alone time and I will be with a bunch of bitchy dance moms in a crowded hallway.

I just want to nap. All. The. Naps.

Really, I think I'm just hungry.

Signed,

The hormonal, sleepy, hungry, pregnant lady.

matthewsdm · November 2015

MIL/FIL...we have a family wedding this weekend and I hadn't planned to tell everyone beforehand. We're bringing our kids, so I'd have to drive and take care of them anyway and figured it'd be pretty easy to get away with not drinking. Well, we get a card in the mail the other day from DH's grandma saying "congrats on the baby on they way!" Um, we didn't tell her or anyone outside of immediate family. FIL totally told her and didn't give us any heads up even though we just stayed at their house for 3 days! Beyond annoyed as I really wanted to wait until after my first appointment and tell everyone ourselves.

This too is my life this week. My husband is off for the entire week hunting. However, I am not entirely angry though, because he's so f'ing messy, it'll be nice not to be annoyed at his f'ing messiness 24/7 (or with the million other things that annoy me about him lately).

To make myself feel better about his (non-paid week off) hunting, I have made many plans to take elaborate week long vacations sans hubby once the kids are bigger and I think he stands at a chance at handling them for more than a day....

SweetMamaJune · November 2015

Ugh, I've started getting these crazy nightmares, I'm exhausted, and my coworkers just tell me I look tired all day long. How long until I blurt out, "I'm pregnant! Jerks!" : )

satcher08 · November 2015

We told my parents about the pregnancy last night by having dd wear a shirt that says "every trouble maker needs a partner in crime. Mine arrives June 2016." My mom didn't say anything for a long time because she was waiting on my dad to read it. Once he read it he was all excited but my mom literally never said a word about it. I talked to her on the phone this morning on my way to work and she still said absolutely nothing. Then a little later I get a text from her that says "so I guess we will be rescheduling our Disney trip". Wtf mom!? Is that seriously all you're worried about? You can't even pretend to be excited or happy?

jerseybroadwaybaby · November 2015

I'm with the teens RIGHT NOW.....assholes....all assholes

ahernandez16 · November 2015

This weekend my (step) MIL decided to bombard me with the, "Soo... are you guys going to be baptizing the baby into the (Catholic) church?" Hubs is Catholic but doesn't really practice and I'm not and frankly, neither of us feel it's our right to make such a personal decision for our child.

Then when I said, "probably not." She followed up with a, "well we'll at least get the baby blessed in the hospital." Oh, really? I knew it was coming, but really... at 8 weeks!?!? Ugh.

NikiCochran · November 2015

I want to bitch about my MIL. This is her first grandchild and I feel like she's not even excited or even cares. She never calls or texts to check on me or give me advice, I know most women would be glad about that but, I'm trying to make her feel as included as I can. I even brought her with me and DH to our first u/s to see our little nugget. Maybe I'm just emotional because of hormones but I just wish she'd be more excited. My own mom has 2 grandchildren from my sister and her and my dad call every day to see how I am and if I need anything.

splsmama2016 · November 2015

I'm a day late, but oh well.... Lol.

My best friend is getting married in August. I'm beyond excited for her, as we've both literally been planning our grown up lives since we were 9. However, ever since I told her I'm pregnant, she's been acting like I retry much don't exist anymore, unless she wants or needs something.
Also, her wedding is a child-free wedding. Normally it wouldn't be an issue, except I will have a 2-month old that I'll hopefully still be breast feeding. I'm IN her wedding as well, and she needs the brides maids at the hotel at 9am. What am I supposed to do with my kid who's still attached to my boob? DH can't do anything lol. I understand bottle feeding as necessary, but I'm not about to just leave my baby all day. Bestie doesn't understand why. She's actually mad at me, almost like she's saying I did this on purpose just to ruin her day.

NikiCochran · November 2015

@sdLindenberg If she can't understand that's her problem not yours! I feel your pain. My future SIL thinks I'm stealing her thunder by being pregnant at her wedding. No one knows and I made sure to buy an outfit that makes me look fat and not show my obvious bump. Focus on the people that are happy for you. She'll come around when the baby comes.

splsmama2016 · November 2015

@NikiCochran I hope she comes around.... I feel like she's really annoyed with me for some reason. She won't answer my calls or call me back, and when I ask what I did wrong I get the "I'm just busy with work" line, when all day, she's posting about silly things going on that are clearly NOT work related. I don't know why this is bugging me so much. Thanks pregnancy hormones... Lol
