  I woke up and almost called in because I just don't want to be at work today. I decided to adult and get ready, but ate ice cream and had a meltdown all morning while I was getting ready. This was me...

  

  I am now at work wanting more ice cream.

  The moment I received the email stating my glucose test results were normal I ate almost an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Seemed pretty logical at the time.

  I closed my office door for about 30 min because I was "doing screening". Nope, just wanted a nappy-nap.

  I want to smack someone at work. This person is being difficult for no reason other than to be a pain and just rejected a work item for doing what it was supposed to do. And now I just had to spend 45 mins explaining why they did their job incorrectly. Not that any of that matters bc they sent it back again essentially saying 'sorry, but I'm not passing this'. I didn't even look at it again beyond that and sent it to my lead. I'm not dealing with stupid idiots today.

  I too want to smack someone at work.  Yesterday an employee came to me all upset because he wasn't permitted to sign up for health insurance when he should have been.  So I go and file a loooong appeal for him, because it wasn't right.  I get the response today - turns out he lied about the whole thing.  They offered him the insurance and he decided he wasn't interested because he didn't want to pay for it.  So now I look like a jackass who doesn't know what's going on because this guy decided he would intentionally give me wrong information.

  I've been putting off training the person covering for me while I'm out since I have been doing 2 jobs for the pay of 1 since November. My work is nervous about me going out on leave and forcing me to start training now. And I'm avoiding it to the point that I'm now re-writing the procedures rather than have my annoying trainee invade my space and sit with me today. I don't even feel bad about it. I'm hormonal and I don't have anything nice to say.
  
  Also I decided the baby needed a bagel today with more cream cheese than bagel itself. I ate some fruit too so my baby isn't only getting simple carbs. But the bagel was totally worth it.

  I was just thinking this the other day while browsing maternity tops. I mean, it's just such an unflattering pattern that makes me look about twice as big as I already am!  Unfortunately, maternity "fashion" doesn't seem to have changed significantly in the past several decades (see 1980s ad below). I've seen variations of each of these outfits recently. Sure, there are a few better options now, but I still don't feel "fashionable" in anything I wear these days.

  I have a faculty meeting in 16 minutes. Our dept. head is incompetent and our meetings are pointless. No action items ever. Just a series of announcements. Yet I feel like I should go. Also, I haven't had time for baby stuff, which I am so disappointed about. My FFFC is that in 16 minutes I am going to strategically choose a seat where no one can see my laptop screen and cruise Land of Nod and etsy and find something...ANYTHING...cute to buy.

  I hate when a post starts out "I'm so sorry if this has been brought up before..I searched back 85 pages and couldn't find anything..."
  
  It. Drives. Me. Nuts!! Just start your thread. You don't need to write a whole paragraph apologizing before you actually get to the point. 
  
  This is not to say that I don't find it annoying when there are 3 similar threads on the last 3 pages because that IS annoying. However, if you've searched and didn't find anything, than please don't apologize for it. Just start typing.
