TW Tuesday

Who's being Twat Waffle today?

sandbar517 · October 2017

I'm gonna go with Mother Nature. She's a dirty whore, and should be punished. It was 80 degrees until about last week, and now that my kids want to go Trick or Treating, it's supposed to be in the low 40s. Mother Nature, you're a twat waffle.

My project manager! He's already known for being the office jack-a$$, so that doesn't help things. He never communicates with me on the project schedule then gets mad, like he did this morning, when something isn't done yet. He made me cry Friday and I have a feeling if he keeps it up today, I may have zombie eyes come time to trick or treat. I've gone to HR before and he did better for a while, now he's slipping back into his old habits. I'm one of those people who doesn't like to complain or tattle, so going to HR again doesn't feel too comfortable to me yet. He's run off several assistants and I've heard that I'm his last chance to have one. I work with 2 other Project Managers, too, but this one thinks he's top priority all the time. Drives me bonkers!

@zizzabell523 I'm sorry. I'm guessing talking to him about how he needs to share the project schedule sooner (or at all) isn't going to help? Sounds like he doesn't take feedback too well?

@sandbar517 it's snowing here, so it could be worse...

Im a twat waffle today. I said I wasn't going to worry if we weren't able to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler at my OB appointment but we couldn't and now I'm totally stressed out. And I'm stress eating. And then after I eat I feel terrible. It's stupid.

I second @sandbar517 - Mother Nature is a TW. We are in LA for a week and the temps are forecasted low to mid 60s and RAIN a few days. Rain in LA. What even.

mileswithmyles · October 2017

@MrT723 I am so happy for the rain right now. It had been so freakin' hot and I was over it.

sandbar517 · October 2017

@curleemama32 I'm so sorry you're having a stressful time. FX everything is okay and baby is just being stubborn. Did they schedule an ultrasound or anything to check everything out?

curleemama32 · October 2017

@sandbar517 yeah she gave me the option of waiting until my next appointment in November or going in this week to get a scan and I opted to get one. Just to ease my mind, but she didn't seem worried at all. And I shouldn't either but it's easier said than done!!

zizzabell523 · October 2017

@silverhope No, there's really no talking to him. When he gets in his moods, he's pretty much unapproachable. I can't wait for maternity leave!!!!! 3 whole months without him breathing down my neck!!

Not exactly today, but I'm gonna have to go with the doctor on Thursday after our US who told us there was a 90% chance there was something wrong with our baby. He called us a couple hours later to tell us that he was wrong, it's more like 50%, and now genetics says it's much lower than that. That moment when he told us our baby was almost certainly unhealthy was probably the worst moment of my life and I still can't believe a doctor could fuck up the numbers that badly.

suchaglencoco · October 2017

Mother Nature most certainly is a TW. We legit had hail yesterday with blue skies. How????

sandbar517 · October 2017

@thunderberry Love titting for solidarity only. That's terrible. I recently helped take care of a girl who had come from another hospital because a doctor there had diagnosed her with a genetic disease that almost always has a really bad outcome and very low life expectancy. Actually told these parents that they had approximately 6 months left with their daughter. Then she came to see us for a second opinion (because this is the specialty of the specific doctor she was seeing at our hospital) and our doctor was like, Um, no your daughter definitely does not have that disease. They basically saw one urine test and diagnosed her based on it, with no regards to her actual symptoms or other lab tests that showed she definitely did not have it. Some doctors feel like they know everything, or that they SHOULD know everything and won't admit it when they don't. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, and hopefully you get some definitive (and good) answers soon.

My tw today is the illness that got my DD (16 months old) sick yesterday. She started with a runny nose yesterday morning, turned into a snotty nosed monster as the day progressed, and ending with 8 rounds of vomit from dinner till 2 am. Poor baby is exhausted and I'm exhausted. And DH took the day off so we could do something for Halloween as a family and now we're all laying around the house. Fu cold/stomach bug for ruining our Halloween and making my sweet girl so sick. She's doing better, but low grade fever and won't eat solids.

attorneyworkproduct · October 2017

@thunderberry, that is terrible! I’m glad he at least called to admit his mistake.

My TW Tuesday is that I was rear ended this morning! I feel fine and have a call in to my OB to make sure I don’t need to be seen, but it’s definitely not fun to be in even a minor fender bender while pregnant. I always imagined that I would burst into hysterical tears if hit while pregnant. I was actually surprisingly calm. The impact was pretty light and the other driver took 99% of the damage.

silverhope · October 2017

@attorneyworkproduct That is so scary. I’m glad the impact was light. I hope the OB can quell any worries and check that all is good.

@arteduc8 Aw I hope your daughter feels 100% soon!

Kendrajos · October 2017

Someone told me that pelvic girdle pain is the same thing as round ligament pain... it's not. Very irritating, she also things that supplements will fix it.

melanier26 · October 2017

@arteduc8 That is the worst. I hope she feels better soon

crazyliblady · November 2017

Not sure if mine goes to me or my boss, maybe to work in general. My boss always has "suggestions for improvement" for me-given in hushed tones and with a serious face. Other people at my level are begging for feedback, and she says "if you're doing things right, I leave you alone and let you do them." Then she assures me she is not criticising me, only encouraging. I have my performance review on Friday, and I am pretty sure I am getting straight 1's. That stands for unsatisfactory. Even my coworkers have said that I am held to a completely different standard than they are.

To be fair, there could be a few reasons for this. My boss' window overlooks my department, so she sees all of my day-to-day stuff and none of theirs. I am also the only fresh college graduate in the whole institution, and therefore may be seen as needing the most mentoring. Also, my coworkers are the first to fill their positions, as they were just created when they were hired and I am replacing a 40-year veteran. Still, after a year of being told I suck, I'm not looking forward to rehashing all her reasons why.

My TW today is my sister. She was supposed to get to my mom's house for all of the kids to go trick or treating tonight, and turned off her phone. So J and I waited at my mom's house until after 7, when I have to leave to get SO from work. He ended up staying at my mom's tonight so my sister could take him, and I didn't get to go with him for his first time.

He looks like he has a ball though.

silverhope · November 2017

@ivyvines6 omg. His outfit is so cute.

His outfit is my favorite thing ever! He loves Donald Duck too so it worked out

onesmallcoconut · November 2017

This happened yesterday so it still counts as something to post.

At the in-laws last night to show off DS's costume and we told them we will be finding out the sex of this baby (we were team green last time). MIL immediately started asking about us throwing a reveal party. I said no, I don't have patience to wait and will find out at the ultrasound. She would not let up. Asking if we could just do one for them etc. I got SO annoyed. Eventually I started joking with my hubby that we would just include both colours in whatever manner we reveal so they wouldn't actually get anything from a reveal lol. She stopped after that. I'm still annoyed though. I'm sorry but this pregnancy is not about her. We told them we would tell them the info when we get it but I'm not throwing them a damn party. Uuuuuugh.
