One more: I brought lunch to work today, but I didn't really want it, so I was at my desk daydreaming about walking down the street to get something even though I shouldn't be spending money on lunch when I brought my own. I finally decided I was gonna do it... I was gonna give in and go get some yummy delicious chicken when the time came.
Now the time has arrived and it's like freaking Noah's ark outside, man. Full on rain, really dark, lots of lightning and thunder. Uuuuuuugh.
So here I am at my desk, eating my stupid frozen meal and my stupid bottle of water, still daydreaming about chicken nuggets and French fries and sweetsweet Coca-Cola goodness while the heavens roar down.
Mondays. Blah.
I pout about it everytime I feel thirsty and only have my water to drink. Waaaaaaah.
I may not go until tomorrow morning. But we have nothing for dinner and hubby wanted Coke for his mixed drinks. I may just do a CVS run for an emergency bottle of soda and takeout.

Why are all the gliders I find that I like made of microfiber for the material. I hate microfiber with a passion.

Got a call this morning finally saying that they performed some more updates and everything is fine. Great! My husband goes to pick up the car and the technician flat out says the issue was their fault (duh). No charge. We are going complain about the supervisor who refused to accept fault.
The service advisor then proceeds to make fun of me to my husband because I had to be on their asses about whether or not the work was being done. This, the guy who couldn't be bothered to return my phone call from more than 48 business hours (obviously not including his day off, but considering we couldn't get someone to speak to us, let's call it 72.)
I will be happily driving to a dealership further away to not deal with this crap in the future.
We do not have a clear room to become the nursery, and my shower is this weekend.

1. Been awake since 9:30 yesterday morning
2. Today was my first day back to work- in a teacher
3. Spilled my large Starbucks frap after 3 sips as soon as I got to school
4. School breakfast didnt look awesome- it's always been awesome
5. Faculty Meeting ran over so we had to eat our provided lunch (cold subs) in 10 minutes while they talked
6. Drove to another meeting- walked at least .5 mile to gym where meeting was. No seating, no AC, loud music
7. Got overheated and nearly fainted in meeting. Co-workers got me out of there and I went to my school where I could relax and rehydrate.
8. Just overall made me question being back at work which only annoyed me more.
SO and I have been together: 5 Years+

@ibabyloveb87 that would annoy the crap out of me! Hopefully your bosses see what's going on soon!
@emmaaa I'm telling you, Check out the Transit Damage Freight location near you. We ordered a brand new Best Chairs glider/recliner and picked our fabric from the gazillion swatches they had available (so it's made to order). They also had some ordered and out on the show floor at our location. The stuff you order is brand new and the stuff already in stock is typically the transit damaged stuff (though you typically can't tell)
@books&icecream Those are such hurtful things for them to say. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. You look great. Only worry about how you and your doctor feel about your wait gain and tell the rest where they can shove that opinion!
@von1976 ugh... So annoying! But not surprising. FX for a quick and successful install
@bnsmith85 Well, so far they've only have to cut three holes in my walls to get the granite to sit properly. (Walls are apparently not square, unsurprisingly.) So I guess it's going well? Haha.

It's going to be stupid hot this week - with humidity it can reach 48'C (which is 118.4'F for my American friends). I know I've bitched in the past about the current place I'm working this summer, and how it doesn't have AC - but with this heat coming this week I'm actually concerned, especially after @sportiegrl1213 trip to the hospital. I emailed my bosses to express concern, and so they're going to buy a portable AC unit to put into one of the rooms, so I can go there to cool off if I start feeling unwell. This part is awesome! I never expected this! My bitchfest is why didn't I say something 5 weeks ago?!? There is 4 days left in this week, and then I'll be done! The goal is to get the AC in tomorrow, but Wednesday latest, so they're spending $300 for 3 days of relief. Stupid stupid me for not saying something earlier!
TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year.

@books&icecream That's seriously uncool! My husband tried to stop me from making brownies the other day - I threaten to divorce him, so he went outside and didn't say another word. A woman I work with gained 110lbs her last (and only) pregnancy, which is crazy. She looked so uncomfortable 2 weeks before she was due, but I would have NEVER said anything to her. She's not blind, her doctor has a voice, so if she wanted my opinion, she would have asked, but no, that's why she sees a doctor and not me. But ya, I agree with @SpaceBurger I don't get why people need to mention another person's weight.
I can't get over why anyone thinks it's okay to comment on someone's weight, pregnant or not! Worry about yourself!
My bitchfest: It's my MILs birthday, which means we had to go over there and play nice for awhile. That was rough in and of itself. But no I reek of smoke and I'm pissed! Why do you smoke in your house lady?! I'm pregnant, I don't want to smell like cigarettes all night! I feel like I'm gunna hurl.
