Twatwaffle Tuesday 01/05

nerdymama15 · January 2016

Holy guacamole Batman! It is 2016! How many have gotten the hang of writing/typing that one yet? lol

Anyway did not see one started, so Happy Twatwaffle Tuesday!

Mine are: this cold.... will it ever go away. Feeling better but being sick all weekend I did not go to the grocery store and now I'm going to have to scrounge around to find something suitable for lunch while I'm working today. Ugh.

This weather! If it isnt hot, it's freezing. I just wish it would stabilize and be one or the other for a longer period of time than a week or two. Christmas was near 80 degrees and now it is 28 degrees outside Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Other than that I have no Twatwaffles for today. It's a bit early yet though.

jessiedee13 · January 2016

My cold and the weather are so being freaking Twatwaffles too! Ugh.

Dare I add the terrible twos? Oh.My.Lord. 2 boys going through them at the same time and this mama is losing her mind! So maybe it's me being the Twatwaffle. Idk. Either way something is being a freaking Twatwaffle and I'm going crazy.

AdorkablePixie · January 2016

The weather is my twatwaffle. It's so freaking cold outside when I go out I've been wearing two pairs of pants. Ugh.

countrygrl5533 · January 2016

I've typed something multiple times but all of it ended up just feeling unprofessional. Let's just say, owning a small, handmade business can be hard and sometimes people suck.

Today it is my boss. He knew I was pregnant, but when I announced to the office at the team meeting, he immediately said "I was wondering when you were going to announce because you are definitely starting to show."

ugh.

Ugh. Comments like that are sooooooooooo not necessary!

JennyS86 · January 2016

AliciaD39 twat-worthy! not cool boss.

Mine are the BH contractions that started to intensify over the weekend and are a bit better now. Why do these things only happen on the weekend?! With my preterm labor history, I'm a mess. 19.3 weeks, but who's counting?

Also, the twins' colds turned into coughs. I just hope it doesn't turn into pneumonia. I don't think we're leaving the house this week

yogahh · January 2016

I second my boss...

We work in an open environment, and she just likes to scream things over to me. Just got on my case for asking an agent for costing, which is part of my job. Then tried to tell me there was no need to "push them", even though this morning she told me to follow upon it. Maybe its just my hormones, but I want to cry. And go home. And stay home FOREVERRR...

H0neyC0mb · January 2016

My coworker is a tw. She's felt the need to "put me in my place" twice so far today. I'm pretty proud of how calm and polite I've been in response but I'm raging on the inside. Planning on talking to my boss when she gets back from lunch.

sarawifenow · January 2016

Mine is my complete lack of energy. I had gotten used to my 2nd tri energy when all of the sudden the 1st tri fatigue came back with a vengeance. I'm having trouble staying awake!

valerie4786 · January 2016

My twatwaffle is my client who keeps talking about the boil on her butt. She called me this morning to let me know that it was oozing all over the place and through her pants. She had to get into my car this afternoon. I'm so grossed out. I wanted to make her sit on plastic, but luckily she changed and dealt with it. Then she's talking about all the shots she has to get into her butt for her boil. EEEEWWW QUIT TALKING ABOUT IT!!! I literally can't deal with it today. I want to throw up then curl up into a ball every time she mentions it.

dsmith211 · January 2016

TW is now work. Earlier was good, but now I'm just irritated. I was asked about the progress of something I had literally just received, told them it was being looked into, and they respond 'Oh. Ok. Thank you.' Not 2 seconds later I receive an email saying it's been escalated to higher priority bc it's been sitting.

Just bc you make something high priority doesn't mean I'm going to get it done faster. It's complicated and takes time. Now if it doesn't get done by end of day it's on me. And I know it won't be done by end of day. And it's bc the last person who worked on it completely messed it up not accounting for something else. Over today.

Haha! EXACTLY!

yogahh · January 2016

Update- I bought myself a dress to make myself feel better. Everyone should do the same...

Side note, but after not getting dressed in ages and living in leggings, I am ready to rock this bump! I want ALL the dresses!

kbrands7 · January 2016

I think the twatwaffle in my life is me today. I'm so over work. I'm trying to not let it show though, and I must be doing a good enough job because a student commented on how he was surprised that I still had this much energy at the end of the semester (not sarcastically). I just feel like it takes so much energy to put on the show. I'm ready to go home, eat, and hang out with my boys. How am I going to make it another 16 weeks until maternity leave with this attitude?

gorgeousariel · January 2016

Long rant-
The nurse at my OB office. When I got my BW back from 12w, over the phone she tells me I am anemic, need to be put on iron pills, get the flu shot and I am not immune to chicken pox so I need to get that vaccine. OK. I do not have a GP so I had to go to the county health department to get the chicken pox shot. When I called them to make an appointment the lady's response was " oh you don't need an appointment for that shot, you can just walk-in. " I waited until the new year in case I had to pay it would go towards 2016 deductible. I arrive there yesterday at 9am - there is ZERO parking so I have to circle around 3 times and then finally park across the street. I walk in let them know why I'm there and she tells me to have a seat. Theres probably 8 people in front of me and I wait 1.5 hours to finally talk to them again to confirm which vaccine I am there for. At this point I am next, but do they call me? NO, they skip me and go to the next... ok weird. Next person called- NOT ME. So I go up to the counter to ask them what is going on because I have been skipped twice. Her response "well they had appointments but you're next" ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I am next and the nurse asks if I am pregnant, yes, " well you can't get the shot because you're PG and its a live vaccine. You have to wait until after you give birth" I told the nurse my OB office sent me to get the vaccine b/c I am not immune. I call my OB office to confirm everything and she says" yes thats correct. you have to wait" Well that would be nice to know before I spent 2 hrs at the health department for absolutely nothing. I should have yelled but all I could go was pregnant lady cry.

Bluejay3030 · January 2016

@pooputtette OMG. I would have cried, too, and probably flipped out on someone like a lunatic.

Bltbear82 · January 2016

My tw is the managing agent for my building. I submitted paperwork for our planned (and hopeful) renovation in early December after confirming that the total process (application submitted, board review etc) takes 3-4 weeks total. I figured with the holidays it would take at least the full 4 weeks, so I let our contractor know we should be looking at a late January start. When I sent everything in I noted I had questions, if she would answer them I could sign everything and get it back to her asap. Radio silence, this lady won't even respond to my emails asking her to confirm she got my original email. So I finally copied our board president to put some pressure on and voila, I get a response. Seriously, you can't respond at all in 3 weeks without me escalating the issue? And now we are behind before we've even started, thanks a lot for all of your help.

dsmith211 · January 2016

@pooputtette Omg. I would have had a nervous breakdown. It would have been nice for the nurse to include the little tidbit about waiting till after having the baby to get the vaccine the first time.

Errr muh gerrddd. I have that problem on a daily basis over here. I work at a hotel gift shop, and you would swear the women I work with have no lives the way they nit pick about things that obviously dton't matter. They're super competitive with me here, for no good reason, and it's started to cost me work hours. Even my boss thinks they're ridiculous, but she doesn't want to put forth the effort to tell them to chill out. So I basically just have to deal. Lol it's a flipping wonder I've yet to unleash my preggo rage on the bitties.

They're basically a clan of TwatWaffles.

KyllieCharney · January 2016

My twatwaffle this week was the a-holes at the airport that take up a whole row of seats with their carryon baggage and coats. 3 people took up a 6 person section of seating. One woman at the very end had a seat for her bag and another for her coat, and then a young couple at the other end with the girl taking up two seats with her legs!! I am clearly pregnant walking around looking for somewhere to sit for the next 30 minutes, MOVE YOUR SHIT! You looked right at me and then went on not giving a fart that you are preventing a possible 3 other people from having a spot to sit in! RUDE!

PYLWhammy · January 2016

My tw is my dog, who just ate one of my cat's new Christmas toys. And now I'm worried she'll get sick from it.

LadySamLady · January 2016

My H is a tw. I just discovered that he finished the ice cream and didn't get more.

khochanadel · January 2016

My TW is the agent for the sellers of the house we're buying. Yesterday she rejected our offer saying the buyers wanted X more. Why not just do a counter? She made us submit a whole new offer instead, and this was after we waited a day and a half for her to respond the first time. All's good because we found out last night we got the house (yay!), but now the other agent is just freaking incompetent. It will be a long 45 days...

wsgjmw1 · January 2016

This damn cold!!!! I'm so over it ! The worst is being a mouth breather 24/7 because I can't breathe through my nose , ew! I hate this and wish it would end now !

AdorkablePixie · January 2016

@KyllieCharney I would have asked them to move their stuff. I hate when people do that crap. When I am at the airport my bags go on the floor and if I have a coat, that rests on top of my bags or in my lap!! There is no need to take up all that space.

@kbrands7 THIS! I think I overcompensated and was a little too cheerful yesterday because the SLP whose office is across from mine poked her head in and said "Someone had a nice winter break, huh!" I just rolled my eyes at her and started singing "Give 'em the old, Razzle Dazzle!" (we are both musical theater nerds) and I think she understood that while I am being all chipper with the students and teachers, I am internally screaming at the top of my metaphorical lungs. It is so hard to "put on the show", but we can do it!

ETA: Why don't gifs work anymore?

Charissadeats · January 2016

The lady at the Tax office today who sent us back to the office to find some form we missed. Only to hear from our accountant that because of the type of company we are - we don't have that form. Never will have such a thing. How can the Tax lady not know these things?!
So we have to go back tomorrow and wait in the blerrie line again!

Kjochase · January 2016

I have two! I walked into work last night and a regular customer made the comment, "You need to hit the gym, you got a gut on you". (Ya...he's hilarious.) And two seconds later the worst woman ever to work with says "What's wrong with your hair? Did you even try today?" People are just too kind.

JoMunson · January 2016

I know it's Wednesday but I have a few...
The fucking custodian at my school who, when she saw me for the first time since break said "that jacket is getting a little small!" Fuck you, it's the only jacket I have that fits still.
Also my principal who suddenly has decided I NEED to find a sub for my maternity leave in April...like I haven't been asking her since November about how we do that and she hasn't been brushing me off every time.

kp90 · January 2016

And I know it's now Thursday but I feel the need to post and vent this here so it doesn't come out elsewhere.....

So at work I keep track of every employees birthday. When its their day I have all the other staff sign a card for them and I decorate their door. For a select few some even join in on a little gift or cupcakes for that person. So last year when it was my birthday they did the same for me and did the whole 9 yards. Mine is usually planned by the only other nurse here in the clinic but we started having issues and the tension has grown over the last year... so today is my birthday.. I had a small little sign on my door that said happy birthday but that was it. I feel like she did this on purpose by not telling anyone. I am by no means a selfish person but I guess my feelings have been hurt that she didn't take it upon herself to do what has become 'the norm' here in our work place. I'm trying not to be bitter but I guess it sucks when you're always the person who goes above and beyond for everyone else to make them feel special yet no one returns the favor for you. Am I alone on this? Maybe I'm just being moody but whatever. It is what it is!

That does suck. I had that happen my senior year of high school. I made a big deal when everyone in my group of friends turned 18 (made them cake, talked teachers into parties, etc). No one did anything in return for me.

Glad I'm not the only one who gets offended by things like this. I really just want to say F it and not do the birthday thing anymore! But then my adult me tries to take over and tell me that's not the right thing to do. Pffff. I will keep debating this.

salbb · January 2016

@kp90 @countrygrl5533
Me too the do-er for birthdays and events at work, with added benefit that other people then do the 'did you like the such and such' without ever giving a dime! So I am out of pocket as well!! Be funny to see how it all stops when I go off on mat leave...

salbb · January 2016

My late TW is people who feel like commenting on size of me/belly... RUDE!!!

salbb · January 2016

Oh and @kp90 happy birthday!!!
(Stuff them!)

kp90 · January 2016

Thank you!! @salbb
