It's been raining for fucking ever. I live in NC - not freaking Seattle. Yeezus. I need some sunshine and vitamin D!
While this gif is generally a perfectly accurate representation of Seattle, I'd like to point out that it's sunny right now. Which my ducks are pissed about because all the puddles in my backyard froze. No muddy swims for them today.

My WTF is a two part combo; WTF with rando-spazoids who post absolute nonsense threads (you guys know the one I'm thinking about right now), and WTF with the repeat threads errwhere, especially on triggery subjects. I know we all have baby brain, but I think some people are suffering from lazy brain.
And while I understand that sometimes it's easy to get birth clubs mixed up, posting THREE times in THREE threads about the same subject in the wrong birth club just tells me that you are not the brightest bulb. I really have clicked on July 2015 Moms and was like, "why are they talking about sleep routines?!" But, come onnnnnn.
I'd like to dedicate this WTF to the Jimmy John's guy. I put in my order that I want mayo packets, but they usually still forget them, so I have started adding it to the delivery instructions as well. Not only did they not bring the mayo packets today, but instead of calling me from the first floor lobby, they went up to the 5th floor, and the dang CEO's admin had to sign for it and bring it to me. Embarrassing and annoying.
WTF house, clean yourself. We have friends coming in town Friday and I need to clean. Also WTF DH. Why do you have to go out of town for training. I've never been home alone with both kids. The 5 days better go by fast.
SO BASICALLY if I'm away from my desk for whatever reason, I have to have the position covered by someone else in my department. I have an hour lunch, an an hour where I go and help another department manager with some other tasks. So those two hours are always covered by someone else in my department. It just so happens that one of the people who cover for the front desk is our HR manager- since she's in my department. Her boss and my boss are the same person, and so she's not "above me" in any way, shape for form.
This woman, who is older than I am, has made it very clear over the last year that she resents having to "lower" herself to the front desk for the total two fucking hours per week she's asked to answer the phone. She is rude, resentful, beyond demeaning, and extremely unprofessional. She is always late (and we work on deadlines, I'm all about respecting our time), I always have to call to remind her she's scheduled, and today, when she came to the desk, she slammed her drink down all pissy like I've just interrupted the most important time of her day.
Let me be clear that this is something the owner and president of the company has asked of her.
So today I'd had ENOUGH. I went and talked to my boss about her terrible attitude- and she wanted me to put it in writing and email her my concerns. I did, and she then forwarded my email to the owner/president. He then came to me and said my email was excellent and hit all the points that basically everyone already knew about her. Then he told me he wanted her to read my email. (Which was not nice. At all.) With my permission of course. I was very hesitant but my pregnancy anger hormonal brain was just like "WELL WHO CARES."
So my HR manager will hate me forever. WTF. On the up side they did take her off the desk. Thank God.
WTF horrid taste in my mouth. Please leave. You're ruining my day. UGH
I can't remember who but someone suggested pickles to help. @CarrieandRoy Was that you? _--------qbf--------------- I never understood the connection with pregnant women and pickles & ice cream. But if pickles take garbage mouth away, and ice cream helps with heartburn, kinda makes sense now!
@PugsandKissesMaybe order beef lo mein? That'd check off 3 of the 4!
@jlgriff11That's totally awesome! (Not the part about your HR mgr disliking you). I'm sure it was reassuring to have the owner/president validate your concerns, and at least you don't have to deal with her huffing and puffing about having to sit at your desk for part of the day anymore! A little disappointing, though, that everyone KNOWS those things about her and she still has a job... in HR.
@jlgriff11 I'm so glad they are backing you up! Especially the owner! Dude let her read it obviously she needs people/reality check and if she hates you she knows you got all the higher ups on your side so there is nothing she can do about it!

WTF to my mother. I get that you are excited that I am having a baby so you get a little more pull than with my brother and his baby mama but slow your roll!!! You will not be staying at my house for three to four week before, during or after labor and you will not be planning my baby shower. I have not even thought about really thinking about it till the other day and my husband doesn't even know yet. Oh and to top it off she has to make a hand delivery, her hand, of things she has already bought for the baby. I appreciate everything but I need my space. *Background-my mother and I do not have the greatest relationship.

WTF neighbor who left his job at Cheesecake Factory! Didn't you know I'd be pregnant a year later and crave key lime cheesecake everyday? Why are you so selfish??

@DeriveMyPi how long is the garbage mouth gone after eating a pickle? I'm not a big fan of pickles and I'm wondering if it makes it go away long enough to make it worthwhile
@SparkySunshine it usually works until I eat something else. This morning I had a bagel and then ate a pickle once the garbage set it and it lasted until now when I ate some lunch. I hate most pickles but the sweet baby gherkins have been hitting the spot! Hope it helps!

The nerve. I hope you were all like
I texted him an epic rant yesterday. He's also my husband's friend from HS so he just ignores more. Or sends pics of alcohol to tourmenr me more.
I nominate @ButterMyBiscuit for Queen Bee of the Plastics. We should make her a badge or something I watched mean girls again yesterday and all the noobs think we are "mean girls" so hey, own it I guess?
