As soon as my second alarm went off (I set one at 5 am to temp), AF came in like a b****. Also, the last part (unnecessary conversations) goes out to lazy people who expect everyone to do things for them or show them how. There are these things called Google and YouTube.

@NYTino24 seems we had the same morning. Ugh. Stupid AF, she gets my middle finger.

I don't even know where to start! Other than the 3 (!!) drive-by posters and 4 posts, I have a month and cycle roll-over on the same day, a greyhound bus decided that it was perfectly okay for them to move over into my lane even though I was pretty much even with it's back end and then my sister decides to post a "memory" on fb of 6 years ago when she was KU with my niece, which is just another reminder that I'm not KU yet!! Argh!!!!

@lulu1180 Love the gif. I feel you on the not having kids while nieces and nephews are getting up there in age. I just gave my 12 year niece my old clothes I have recently outgrown.

@NYTino24 I feel like that gif really illustrates my frustration but also gave me a much needed giggle this morning! My oldest nephew is actually 17 and a senior in high school, the youngest is 4 and this particular sister has 3 kids - all of which were completely and totally unplanned. Which makes things so much worse on my end

@lulu1180 and @NYTino24 ... let's drink together. This TTC is for the birds.

Bosses and workplace WTFs.

So it was the long weekend here in Canadaland, so I didn't work Monday. I came in Tuesday (after dealing with yet another car issue) and see that my desk is entirely cleaned off. Apparently bossman and the assistant that thinks she runs our office came in Monday and decided to go through my desk and all my files and "re-organize". Working is like learning - certain things and strategies that work for one person don't work for another person. They've screwed up my entire system an I'm super ragey about it.

THEN. H needs his wisdom teeth out. They're impacted and super painful. His insurance was supposed to kick in at the beginning of July. His boss pushed that back to the beginning of October and said we must have understood the terms of the insurance incorrectly. Fine, we accepted that and booked his surgery for October 25. H checked with bossman yesterday to ensure that the insurance was in place and his boss tells him he won't be getting insurance until he is sure that H "is a good fit and will be sticking around for a while." WHAT. The probation period was supposed to be 3 months (over in July) and now we're not getting insurance at all? That whole job was a fallacy. H was promised 9-5, Monday to Friday, 80 hour guaranteed per pay cheque and health/dental insurance. H works noon til 9 or 10 at night, some Saturdays, hasn't been getting his guaranteed hours and now no insurance? I told him if it were me I'd be leaving that place so fast. It's infuriating.

It just makes me so...

I don't know if this is needed or not but *TW*

My WTFW goes to my pregnant co worker. It just amazes me how her nausea comes and goes seemingly when it's best for her. For example it seems that as soon as her lunch time is here she feels great and goes to Wendys and is OK but then when she is back all of a sudden she doesn't feel well. I honestly thinks she is over exaggerating her symptoms so she doesn't have to work as much.

She came in on Monday bragging about how her appetite came back this weekend and she ate spicy wings, mashed potatoes, macaroni and pie. Maybe I am naiive in regards to what it is like being pregnant but none of the other pregnant people I have been around, including ones with nausea all day, were ever this bad.

and I am with @lulu1180 WTF drive-bys!

RunRestRepeat · October 2016

Bahahha, @lulu1180 your gif game is on point today!

But seriously, wtf is up with all these drive bys? The whole reason I joined this community (and ran away screaming from Baby Bump) was because there is an actual COMMUNITY and not just a bunch of one-off, give-me-answers posts. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but come on, people. Read the damn newbie guide!

lulu1180 · October 2016

hahaha thanks @RunRestRepeat! This board has definitely helped me recognize that I have gif game and made me step it up!

Pinky917 · October 2016

Took a break for a few days, and I can see I missed a real shit-show. The drive bys always make me wonder what these people do during the no posting period when you first sign up. Do they just sit there staring at their screen until they are finally free to post? Is it that hard to look around at how things work?

As for my WTF, the award goes to my body. Come on, can't you just get your crap together and let me start a new cycle already? Really taking your sweet time over here....

ladystinson · October 2016

WTF to the drive-bys, to me for missing said drive-bys (one day I'll get to lay into one of them before the thread is closed), to our lawyer for not telling us until today that we don't need our witnesses tomorrow.... and to me WTAF to me lol I can't even deal with my own BSC SS at the moment. I feel like I'm gonna give myself a freaking anxiety attack over it lol

ETA: and to my temp. yes, I know i started temping late in the cycle, I was only doing it so i saw the plummet to know when to have supplies with me at work but this up and down crap is rediculous

Cats*in*space · October 2016

WTF to people that don't respect and admire the well thought out structure and standards of the TTGP board. I loosely follow a few other bump boards but won't participate on them b/c it's like the wild west - new threads everywhere, no community feel, rando rant posts, etc.

SaphireSweetie88 · October 2016

Today it is my husband and FIL. Long story short:

We need a new engine for his car (we've needed it for 1 year) and finally have the means to get one. Anyway, we were looking at 3 different ones and finally decided on one. We have a friend of my FIL who's a mechanic (let's call him Bob) and is going to put the engine in for us (yay!). Well DH and I agreed on how much we were going to pay Bob. This was about 2 weeks ago.

Fast forward to a couple days ago, DH tells my FIL we're going to pay Bob x amount. Why DH decided to tell FIL is beyond me but oh well. My FIL says you should pay Bob y amount. DH agreed and then told Bob that we we're going to pay him y amount. NEVER was the change in payment discussed with me first before telling Bob. I found out today on the way to work. The new amount is way too much (IMO) and I don't want to look like the bad guy by saying no, we're paying x amount like we agreed on... ugh

zwink1 · October 2016

In addition to the drive bys, my WTFW goes out to my body and chart this cycle. Because OF COURSE when I finally have a Dr appt scheduled and it's actually pretty perfect timing for testing, that's when I get a cold and my body decides to toss one of its short cycles in there. Now I have a disaster area of a chart, no clear idea yet on whether I have already O'd, and this is pretty much how I feel about it today:

This is even more relevant because work is also annoying me and I have off on Friday, so it's my Thursday.

Peedy · October 2016

My WTF goes to my head. I got off of my depression meds (with the help of a doctor) to prepare myself for pregnancy. And now I'm constantly second guessing myself and looking for validation at work.

And I can't tell if it's me, or if everyone at work is being a jerk. It's probably both. End rant.

adirat · October 2016

All right team, my WTF goes to tonight's drive-by. I posted a sarcastic gif about a misspelling and... she accepted it as the answer to her question! This is me staring at my computer right now:

I now have the "First Answer" badge for THIS?

lulu1180 · October 2016

@adirat At least she has a sense of humor! Lol

adirat · October 2016

@lulu1180 Oh man, if the truth is that she ended up thinking it was as funny as we did, I feel like she would fit in nicely here after all! Does she also love cheese?

lulu1180 · October 2016

@adirat I guess only time will tell...

I gave her the benefit of the doubt because she at least made an intro

adirat · October 2016

@lulu1180 Same, I didn't even QFP at first!

lulu1180 · October 2016

@adirat It didn't occur to me until she mentioned trying to delete! I kinda hope she sticks around, if she can take our humor, she'll fit in rather nicely

zwink1 · October 2016

@lulu1180 and @adirat you two miiiiggghhhhttttt just be my favorite.

adirat · October 2016

@zwink1 I'm on mobile now but imagine I posted a gif of @lulu1180 and myself taking bows to roses and applause.

(imaginary gif here)

RunRestRepeat · October 2016

@adirat I mean, that caddy DID have some attitude!

Excellent handling of yet another drive by from you and @lulu1180!

I'd gif, but mobile sucks.
