My WTF is going out to my job today. My previous manager put me up for a promotion last year to the upper level management... and they turned it down due to "lack of experience" even though I'm currently doing the job. My other coworkers quit, so there is literally no other person in the entire freaking company trained on my project.
Now I've got a new manager, who is trying to hire for the two positions on my team. She keeps sending us resumes, and half of them are completely unqualified. Like 5 minutes of experience in something sort of related. Basically, I'm training two completely new inexperienced people, whoever they pick... which is yet another task of the job they refused to give me.
I can't wait to quit this freaking job in February.
@WinchesterGirl that's such bulllshit. My midyear review was yesterday and I basically said "I'm not really pushing myself because I hit my glass ceiling"
our attorneys dont don't believe you should have higher than a manager title in legal if you aren't a lawyer.
Why does HR have to take so freaking long with stuff. I received a job offer last Thursday and I countered the pay. Well it's been 4 working days and the stupid lady in HR just returned my email today. I have called and emailed her multiple times just to make sure she got what she needed from me and she didn't even have the courtesy to reply and acknowledge that she received my email. I have been so freaking stressed over this job offer. WTF!
Oh and WTF won't Facebook open on my computer at work. Normally it opens with no problem but today it just won't do it. I'm so bored.
my wtf is actually uber positive just bizarre after weeks in HG haze. I have walked 10,000 steps, had the kids at a historical landmark, did 2 loads of laundry and cooked 2 proper meals today. 3 days ago I couldn't move without puking. Wtf world?! Thanks! But wtf?! Haha I'm spinning from change!
Hoping "WTF" can be on any topic...I went to Walmart for a few things just a little bit ago. When I got outside i realized my husband left all his fishing gear in the back of the vehicle. Then their stupid cart racks were overflowing everywhere with carts out on the driving lane... then I stepped in gum. I literally exclaimed WHAT THE FUDGE?!? I try to use "nicer" language if I can help it so fudge came out in public. Plus my daughter was with me but I was pretty annoyed by that point. So if it's why the... then why can't people do their jobs or be considerate and if it's what the... then there it is.
@PerraSucia I'm having a one on one with my manager next week, and I plan to do something similar. Why am I killing myself for you people if you have no appreciation?
Wtf mosquito in my bedroom???? I cannot find you, but you ate the shit out of my ankle and arm and got my two year old during nap time too!!! Zika is not something I want to worry about this pregnancy and your asshole hide and seek game is not cool!
WTF Facebook targeted advertising. You've got me sitting here thinking about buying swaddle blankets even though I'm a FTM who has been offered a shower and needs to be saving money to get dental work done on her dog and go to 1,000 weddings this fall. Come. On. I am powerless against this!
I took another sick day today. Ran out of zofran yesterday and my stupid, stupid, optimistic brain decided that since I have been feeling better lately (on meds) and am almost to 2nd tri that I can go a day or two without. Ugh. Now I have to be within arms reach of the toilet until DH gets off work so he can get me to the pharmacy. Also my CBC came back abnormal but I don't have details yet and have been quietly panicking until I hear from the OB office. I know it's most likely nothing to worry about. Still wringing my hands and trying to shake out all the nerves.
Wtf scentsy. Why must you smell amazing. My order just came in and she threw in a laundry sample. So here I am spending another $60 on scentsy and my husband is gonna eye roll me hard
WTF sweaty Subway guy? I looked up from the vegetables while I was ordering and the guy making my sandwich had this giant bead of sweat dangling precariously from his nose. I just stared at it while he finished making my sandwich, and even though he ended up wiping it away with the sleeve of his shirt, I couldn't eat my sandwich after that.
Also WTF me for just buying the sandwich and not saying anything. I knew damn well I wasn't going to eat it. Ugh.
My husband can tell when I'm getting grossed out at Subway. I had a lady cut open a box and then try to cut my sandwich with the same knife. I flipped and almost made a seen. I have to block out thoughts of what people do in kitchens or I can't eat out. I hate cooking so it's a horrible cycle.
We have two sleeping beauties in heaven. Jack gained his wings on 09/02/2016. Kali gained her wings on 07/28/2015. They will be forever missed.
I had a giant WTF moment trying to get blood work. A young (ish) woman was manning the front desk. Normally I just give them my insurance card, they print the stickers, ask for a co pay and that is the end of the interaction. Not this lady. Our conversation was as follows:
Lady: are you here for the *** test?
Me: yes.
Lady: you know you have to get your first trimester screening done?
Me: I already did that a few weeks ago.
Lady: well what is this for?
Me: for an NT scan next week.
Lady: you need to go to radiology???
Me: *blank stare* .... It's an ultrasound...
Lady: who is your doctor?
Me: I haven't met her yet I've only spoken to a midwife.
Lady: was her name *****?
Me: I don't know I can't remember.
Lady: can you call her?
Me: I don't know her name but I'm supposed to have her personal number?
Lady: you have a phone, don't you?
Me to myself: THE FUCK??
Lady: well you need to communicate better with her because you're supposed to have your first prenatal blood work.
Me: I already had that done.
Lady: are you in your first trimester?
Me: yes
Lady makes pointed look at my stomach: are you sure?
I just stared at her.
At this point I was going to walk out but she finally printed the stickers.
@GlitterDragon I felt myself getting angry just reading about your interaction. Puts me in a bad mood. I hate it when people don't just do their job and ask a billion questions like they are the ones in charge. I had an issue with the school secretary asking dumb questions once.
@raptormomma I considered it. pregnancy brain has made me immediately forget her name tho. ETA: if I have to deal with her again, I'll just ask for someone else.
I would go back and look. "What's your name?" All squinty eyed. Have a post it and a pen for dramatic effect.
Hahah no, in my head I'm like this: And in real life I'm like this:
I'm like this about evetything... I then immediately go get my husband. I'm the calm before his storm... people are better off being nice to me. When I get my husband after enough crap, they quickly regret upsetting me.
WTF - I had one little swipey-swipe of brownish-red this afternoon, and all evening my mind is freaking out. Every trickle I feel down there I expect that I'm going to see a gusher. I have to take my own advice and calm my own tits.

So much easier said than done
I know, right? I hate that my mind won't stop whirling in a vortex of negativity! Hate hate hate it!
Ok so I havnt puked in quite a few days. I finally can enjoy summer and...
We got a fishing guide/charter from my aunt for a wedding gift and finally set it up last year to head out this weekend at the cabin. The heat index is supposed to be 105, and super windy on the lake so between the heat and the bumpiness on the water I'm wondering if I can even go. It's starting to irritate me that there's fun things I can't do, yet DH hasn't had to make concessions. WTF DH, he's always been so compassionate but this one has gotten under my skin. He'd "rather not" reschedule for next year and I want to smack him. I get that he's more into fishing than I am, though I still really enjoy it..But it was my damn gift too and instead I get to hear his fishing stories and watch him drink beer. Yay.
My WTF is we're supposed to be closing on a house Friday but we're still waiting for all the paperwork with the mortgage to be done. So right now we don't have a closing date and stuck living at my parents house(which is actually hell on earth despite the fact that I am appreciative of letting us stay with them) 6 people in one house is too many, especially when I'm trying to sleep during the day because I work nights and they're so loud. Sorry, rant over.

Edit for possible WTF to me lol
