Re: WTF Wednesday
WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** to my coworker. She sent me an invite to a meeting for today right during lunch time. That's WTF #1 - This pregnant lady needs to eat. Then I look at what the meeting is about and its user testing for a project I was on TWO EFFING YEARS AGO that ended up losing funding and was dead in the water. Apparently it's being dredged up again and she wants my "input". First of all, that was 2 years ago, I don't remember what I did yesterday let alone in 2014 so I have no input. Secondly, I was on a completely different team then and remember nothing about the policies/best practices on that side of things and the project has nothing to do with the team I'm on now. Third, user testing is a months long process and she knows I'm going on maternity leave in a matter of weeks. I brought this up to her and she said she wasn't going to put me on the actual testing, just wanted me in on this meeting because I was involved last time.
It's only an hour of my life but I'm stabby about it. I just need everyone at work to leave me the eff alone until this kid comes out. I give ZERO f***s at this point.

Oh wait, the service club I'm in is doing that!!! They keep asking me for input because I always plan the events. Guess what guys, I'm not coming to our Halloween fundraiser because I will have had a baby 2 weeks prior. I think y'all have brains and can figure out a way to get it together. I've got more important things going on at the moment!! I get emailed at least twice a week asking for my input or to come to a planning meeting. NOPE.

Anyway, I got my feelings hurt about it because I never want anyone to doubt that I'm a hard worker and a team player, but then I got really mad about it because I don't think I should be made to feel guilty about taking time off (that I've earned) just because I have maternity leave coming up (that I'm entitled to take.) WTF.
Sorry for ranting about this twice. I'll try to let it go now.
@ball4786 That would make me mad as well. I'm taking off 2 days next week and I feel super guilty too, even though I've barely taken off at all since being pregnant. I also keep getting the jealous "you're so lucky to be going on maternity leave" statement from co-workers and I don't know how to properly respond. It's not a vacation!
My WTF/work rant of the day - My supervisor scheduled me for a week long legal training class the last week of September. It has nothing to do with the job I'm doing now and *may or may not* be something I need in the future. First, I have the attention span of a fly currently, so don't see myself retaining a bit of info, especially since it's foreign to me and not something I will be utilizing anytime soon. Secondly, I will be 36 weeks pregnant then. I already have to get up to go to the bathroom 977 times during the day and my tailbone & hip pain make it difficult to sit still in one spot for long. Not sure how I am going to make it 40 hours sitting in a classroom.
I went in to pee as usual and she's in there brushing her teeth. She asked me if I would be in tomorrow (which she asks like everyday and it's getting on my nerves). I said well yes that's the plan. She said my baby gift came in (she printed out pictures of outfits she supposedly ordered for my shower last week). Oh great well yes I should be here tomorrow and you can just bring it in.
Long pause. As I am peeing.....
"So I think I'll come to your house once your home with the baby."
"Umm well I'll probably bring him by the office at some point." (thinking she just wants to meet him)
She then starts going on about bringing the gift then. TO MY HOUSE. I told her I'd be in the office another month probably and walked out.
I'm sorry but WTF!?!? We are not friends; I don't even have her phone number. If you want to bring me the gift you "didn't ship correctly" for the shower, then you can bring it to the office. I do not want this woman coming to my house!!!

But I have done that before. I got through 2/3s of a piece of raisin toast before I realized it was completely covered in green mold spots. I was eating it in the dark while rushing one morning. Uckkkk.
ewww. I feel your pain, literally. I'm a hypochondriac, so of course my stomach hurts now, and food poisoning is the only explanation.

DH- we have Roxy this weekend (our friends' dog)... They're coming to drop her off tomorrow after work and are going to stay to watch the game with us.
Me-
I mean, I love that dog and want to see our friends... But can a girl get some notice?! My house is a wreck and we have no booze/food for hosting. On the plus side, we fixed the robot vac issue so at least I can run that overnight.
The last few weeks all they do is fight. My youngest is 2 and asks why constantly and I feel like we just passed that stage with our oldest. Taking them into a store is a nightmare, cause they don't frigging listen to me. I'm starting to feel like people really think I'm stupid when they see how huge I am and have these two horribly unruly kids that really are old enough to not touch everything and run away from me in the grocery store.
Ugh! He NEVER goes to sleep that early. And I could tell he wasn't planning to because the lights and his computer were left on in the office. Wtf!? It wasn't a huge deal because they just sat in the dryer until the morning but it's one of the very few things I asked him to do around the house and it was the easiest thing!
