Monday Bitchfest

sldp123 · November 2015

It's Monday. Let's hear 'em.

MNturnsVA · November 2015

Ugh!!!! It's a Monday for sure!!!

I have a pile of busy work that I don't want to do at work.....

And the change in the weather and the time change have got to be affecting my temps because my temps have been all over the place and I think I may have O'd earlier than normal......so annoyed. Can't be sure yet, but if this pattern continues......

I've been having major work drama the past few weeks. Basically, I took a new job about 4 months ago and it was a huge leap of faith that has not worked out as planned. My current boss made a lot of promises and sold the position to me in a pretty package with a big pretty bow and it is not at all what I was told it would be. I'm currently waiting to hear back from my old company about going back and I cannot sit at this desk any longer. I have zero motivation and just keep looking at my inbox and heading back over here to TB. Feeling super resentful and just bummed. It's not helping that I'm pretty sure I'm out this month as I'm having major AF symptoms which is making me moodier. I'm a real treat to be around this morning!

My jaw has been having some pressure since Thursday and I have been cracking (like you do your knuckles) to relieve it because I'm dumb. It has been getting worse ever day and the tendon on one side hurts pretty good. I cannot shut my mouth corrects, my lower jaw will barely even align with the upper teeth and feels best in a severe under-bite manor. The molars will not touch and it is making it really hard and painful to eat. Dr Google thinks it is TMJ, if it keeps up for a few more days I guess doc time.

sldp123 · November 2015

I have what I think is a toothache. My wisdom tooth has been bothering me for a few days now. It has bothered me at times in the past, but usually only for a day or so. I'm debating calling the dentist or just waiting for it to go away on its own (fingers crossed). This is the first month we are going to have good timing of more than once during FW, and I should O in a couple days or less, so I really don't want to take antibiotics or worse, have to have something done to my tooth and need pain medication or anesthesia or who knows what. Really hoping it goes away.

WinchesterGirl · November 2015

Yaaaaassssss so many things.

Work has been full of layoff rumors, which is super festive. This would be the fourth tme since last January, so it's not unlikely. Also, there are a whopping three people left on my team, so the chances are high I would be impacted if they do another layoff.

Also, there has been way too much family togetherness the past two weeks, and it's only going to get worse until new year's day. By new year, I'm always ready to move across country to avoid people. Every. Single. Year.

I'm doing a board bitch - I've been here for what...a month? 6 weeks?...and I know it's been bitched about many times, but why oh why oh why-oh are people under the impression that this is Google? And I just love the "well I was just asking what other people's experiences were". No you weren't. You wanted attention for being special.

Sorry - I'm probably being just as annoying posting another rant about it - it just rubbed me so wrong this morning.

End rant.

Also: It's Monday, it's cold, and I can't wanna.

I'm so with you! I'm still pretty new, maybe a month or so and I'm definitely starting to understand why this board has so much snark (which I love). "The wind blew to the north this morning and I may have ovulated yesterday but I'm not sure because I'm not temping and then my dog sniffed at my stomach and I sneezed. Am I pregnant?!" UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

jhems776 · November 2015

Ugh, I have more things to bitch about. I just starting spotting (2DPO), the other time this happened I spotted almost the whole LP. I already feel like I'm out....

Hummingbird125 · November 2015

My boss is a turd sometimes. He thinks it's fun to just "quiz" me; i.e. "What would you do in this situation?" "Where would you find the answer to this?" I get what he's trying to do, but I have SO MUCH on my plate at work lately, that I honestly don't have time to research how I would handle different situations. Just leave me alone and let me work!

I also want to bitch about myself. I wish I could just relax and treat myself! I get StitchFix and loved EVERYTHING this time. H said I should keep it all. My friends said I should keep it all. I kept one item. I feel super guilty spending money on myself.

0SeaMonkey0 · November 2015

This isn't a bitch but I have nowhere else to share. I don't even know how I feel about it. Partly laughing, partly sad and partly annoyed by people who just don't get stuff.

Saw on another board a girl posting pee stick pics and so excited because she had many days of faint lines on DS tests but worried because she was 6 days late and the lines were still faint and her drug store test was negative: the DS tests she was peeing on were opks

Poor girl but at the same time, really???

Bookhousegirl · November 2015

I can't stand moving! We moved 7 months ago and are doing it again because there's an opportunity to save so much money and have a better space but it is so stressful. Trying to get everything packed and still manage all of life's normal tasks is totally overwhelming me. I know it will be worth it in the end, but I just want to skip over these next 2 weeks!

gardeniagirlknits · November 2015

We moved across the country for hubs to take a promotion. He "had" to be here. Fast forward six months.... Now he works from HOME. I gave up a promotion opportunity and quit my job so he could do this. The plan was... We would move, I would quit working and get pregnant and be a sahm.... And now that I haven't gotten what I was supposed to get while HE still gets his new cushy job, I am pretty bitter.

This is so tough. I'm sorry

I'm keeping my FX for you!

KASG · November 2015

I need a new career. I obviously don't have the patience to be a teacher anymore. I'm really trying, but I just feel like no one should have to BEG you to do something that benefits YOU! And you can't continue to complain about not understanding when you don't listen, you don't try to so examples, you don't take notes...

And to make matters worse, this particular course is supposed to be advanced, and honestly, MANY of these kids are improperly placed. But "they" (the higher-ups) want everyone in this class as if there's something wrong with being in your grade level class!

I totally feel your pain. We are making our 3rd out of state move next month. I'm so over moving. It's no fun. And packing...don't even get me started!

RunBooRun · November 2015

Nothing major today, but I'm just sick of work. I start a new job on Nov 30th. My last day here is Nov 25th which means I only have a week and a half left. It just makes it incredibly hard to get out of bed in the morning and give a shit.

I've wrapped up all my projects, so I'm just working on typing up standard work for other things that I do. It's a boring pain in the ass. On top of that my coworker keeps trying to drag me into drama. She doesn't get along with my boss (rightfully so) and its only the three of us. They aren't posting my position, so it will just be her and him. I feel bad for her, but I really don't want to be sucked into the drama anymore.

Next Wednesday can't come fast enough. I had to give myself a pep talk to get out of bed this morning.

People were sending through obviously negative sticks and loads of people were claiming "I see something"!!! When they definitely did not see anything..why?

I feel for you. We've had layoffs this year too and rumors of more coming. It just makes everyone stop caring, which really sucks when you try to do your job well.

I hear you on the family stuff too. We tend to get sucked in from Thanksgiving through Easter (yes, Easter) because about 3/4 of the birthdays in our families are in Jan - March. It sucks and I spend the whole summer trying to stay away from everyone.

WinchesterGirl · November 2015

@RunBooRun Easter?! My heart could not take it.

kaitlink33 · November 2015

i have nothing to bitch about today as I am off for today and tomorrow so I am doing essentially nothing. So the only thing I have to bitch about right now is I wish Dh would hurry up and get home because I am bored and starving....yes, I know that is pretty trivial but I am ok with that as I have had way too much to deal with lately.

PeggyOlsonFTW · November 2015

First world bitch: I need a new show to stream when DS naps but don't know what to watch!

Xstatic3333 · November 2015

My eyes have been stinging and red for the last week and a half since I got new contacts. I'm 90% sure it's allergy related, but also think I'm probably at the point where I should go to a doctor to be safe. I'm 90% sure that when I do, it won't be covered by my health insurance. I know my eye health should come before money, but I'm irritated just the same.

TheTamedShrew · November 2015

DH has a man cold, so the universe must now come to a screeching halt.

MrsDho11 · November 2015

@WinchesterGirl - First of all so sorry, I hope the layoff rumors are false!

For your pic, try adding in the "https://www." for long, boring reasons!

furbabymom2007 · November 2015

Commence whining...

The puppy stuck her nose literally into the mouth of our older dog and (shocker) she got nipped. I am in the bathroom and hear the puppy scream bloody murder and come out to find a tiny minuscule little mark on her nose. Damn thing scared the daylight a out of me. I think she scared the older dog too so hopefully there won't be a repeat of this situation, because I think I almost had a heart attack this morning.

Then, the highway I take to work was blocked this morning so it took an hour and a half to get to work this morning, which is twice as long as normal.

I am exhausted at work and feel like AF if about here which sucks because that might mean that my LP is super effing short and/or I am not as normal after BCp as I thought.

And I stubbed my toe this weekend and it hurts with my work heels on.

And my face is braking out.

And DH might have to stay out of town longer for work.

I want an effing cookie.

Ok, I'm done. Carry on.

My DH has one, also. Two days ago, he said he felt like death. Last night, he admitted he had actually been taking medicine, but not regularly or the same kind. He is a very busy person, so I know getting a cold on top of his regular stress can really take it out of him. I hate seeing him (or anyone) feel bad, but sheesh.

At least I have something to bitch about today. I woke up with a sore throat. Thanks, DH! Ugh.

MrsDho11 · November 2015

@babymish - there is no part of me that understands altering pee stick photos. Not even the tiniest little smidge of me. I just--

MrsDho11 · November 2015

I'm with all you ladies who hate moving. since I started college (over ten years ago), I've only lived in one place for more than a year (we had to live on campus all four years in college, but you had to move all your stuff out at the beginning of the summer then back in at the end, so yeah). And one place we only lived in for 3 months (at the beginning of our cross-country move to SF so we could figure out where we wanted to live). We're coming up on the end of our 1 year lease at the end of December, and I think we're staying. I'm sooooooo excited. I need to call the landlord and ask if we need to sign a new lease or if it will just convert to month to month. I hope she lets us stay!

My bitchfest is just that I have a migraine. I mostly had gotten them from once a week (lasting 2-3 days) to once a month. But this is not the time of the month for that, so this is an extra one. I know I should still be happy that they're so infrequent now, but it is hard to be happy with a migraine!

KASG · November 2015

Yep. H's uvula was on his tongue this morning so, I'm sure I'll have a jolly good time once I get home.

TheTamedShrew · November 2015

@KDHB13 do you watch Netflix? We just finished watching "Master of None" with Aziz Ansari and it was really good.

Lulucooks · November 2015

We were going to go to the fancy pretentious locally owned burger place in town and get a venison burger for lunch, but they are closed on Monday (which I should have known). So we went to Red Robin instead.....

LadyMillil · November 2015

I'm writing my PhD thesis. I'm using a reference manager for the citations, which is great, but I'm close to 200 citations so it takes a couple minutes for the program to insert and update the references, and I can't do any typing while that happens. Which means I type one sentence, insert the citation, wait a few minutes, type the next sentence, insert the citations, wait a few minutes. It really sucks when I get on a roll and have to scribble what I wanted to say on a piece of paper so I don't forget by the time I can type again.

penelope4612 · November 2015

I got 5 hours of sleep last night and had to be in to work an hour early today for 5 hours of computer training because we are updating our computer software. Ugh.

Also, work related - I had when people cancel their appointments, and then ask me to call them and basically want to have the appointment over the phone because they "can't make it in". I get paid for in person appointments and not phone calls and essentially have to use my lunch break and time at the end of the day (when I should be going home) to return calls. So while you can't manage to take time out of your busy life to come in in person, you expect me to take my personal time to answer your questions? No.

PeggyOlsonFTW · November 2015

@TheTamedShrew I do! And I love Aziz Ansari, thanks!

I HATE tweaking. I'm not nice about it either. I could scroll by and not comment, but nope, I post just to say "sorry, I see nothing" come back when you have a line that's visible to the naked eye. Until then, NOT PREGNANT.

Umbr+ella · November 2015

To everyone moving or recently moved, I feel your pain. Moving is the biggest pain in the ass! In the last 2 years I've moved 3 times, to three different states. Now I get to move again in April, but I won't find out where til Feb-March. Yay!

Also agree with the tweaking of the pee sticks, like wtf are you wanting me to see? Before I started charting with FF I used Glow to track my cycles so I still get on there and update things just to have all the info in one place. Every few days there will be a little red dot on the community tab and of course I have to get rid of it by clicking over there and reading the ridiculous posts. It sucks me in every damn time and I get so pissed at people saying they see a line on obviously negative tests...

KarenBeth714 · November 2015

@KASG I hear you about the teaching.. I just "can't" anymore. Today was a particularly brutal Monday. Extra meetings, no prep, one of the worst parts is several people telling you that you just have to do more and more.. If I could just close the door and teach I would be happy. Sigh...

Wishing you all a terrific Tuesday

I feel you on this @KASG! I teach 7th grade and many of my students cannot write a SENTENCE. But they put forth zero effort and the parents don't seem to care. So frustrating.

m6agua · November 2015

Ugh I just had a MC a week ago and now I have a fever/some type of bug. I was just starting to feel like myself again too. Thankfully it's not related to the MC but it still sucks.

KASG · November 2015

@JEMN yea, I have 7th grade now. High school isn't much better.

@m6agua Sorry for your loss, and being sick on top of that
