I had to reschedule my oil change from last week to today. The dipshit who ‘changed it’ and wrote me in for a loaner really didn’t do anything. Got there this morning and had to scramble back to my chiropractor in my car, go back to the garage, pick up a clerk, and drop myself off at the hospital for my glucose test. Hopefully the car is done or someone can pick me up after the blood draw.
My twatwaffle this week is the weather. After over a foot of snow, coastal storm surge and subzero temps this past weekend, I’m exhausted from stressing about our pipes freezing, our basement flooding with ocean water, and slipping and falling outside (thankfully none of which happened!). Now it’s going to be super mild this week and I’m thankful for it, but we are supposed to get a huge amount of rain on Friday with temps in the 50s, which means a ton of snow melt and rainwater. Just waiting for our basement to flood. One thing after another, homeownership is the besttttttt.
Another! This might be more of a WTF. There’s an older woman at work who started around the same time I announced my pregnancy at work (13ish weeks). I’m in purchasing and she’s in AP so we have some regular interaction. She is just odd. Like, really odd. She heard I was pregnant like a week or 2 after she started here, and immediately was asking me how I feel every single day, asking personal questions, and telling me she was “really looking forward to it.” This has gone on the entire pregnancy, and had been a little less lately... but today she comes to my desk to ask how I’m feeling again, and asks if I’m getting nervous. I said no. She asks if I’m doing Lamaze. I said no. She stares at me blankly and I’m like... I don’t really know much about it, but I think that’s more of a natural/unmedicated childbirth thing, which I’m not doing. She’s like “OHHH... so you have a due date and everything? Like is it scheduled??” And I was like (WTF) - “yes I have a due date, but nature will decide when it actually happens, I’m not having a planned c-section or anything.... “ Like do you even know how this works?? She concludes by again telling me she’s “REALLY looking forward to it” and walks away. Like, what exactly are you looking forward to? Knowing that I gave birth? Seeing my baby if and when I ever visit work with it? I am so creeped out you guys. And just confused about how people a) think these questions are ok when you don’t really know the person AT ALL and b) don’t know how this works.
Mine goes to the TWO older women at work who have asked me how much weight I’ve gained. I’m self conscious about it as it is. That’s not an okay question to ask.
@frenchiekinplusone, that is a lot to be stressed out about, creepy coworker aside!
@frenchiekinplusone there should be a limit to how many times we get asked "how are you doing?" in a day. I know people are well-meaning, but seriously how do they not know how this works? My real answer would be, "tired, uncomfortable, and grumpy" but I don't think that's what anyone wants to hear, especially at the office. Oh, and I love it when men compare their guts to my belly. Super original joke, Gary.
@peppersmith22 no idea. The way she asked about whether I have a due date “scheduled” I have to imagine she has no children, lol. We honestly know nothing about each other at all so I couldn’t even begin to guess. So weird.
@okayrunner WTF is that!! I could never imagine asking anyone that aside from my very best friend who just had a baby because we share all of the TMI prego details. What do you even say to that?! I always imagine myself being a snarky bitch and answering the question then asking them how much weight they’ve gained this year, but don’t know if I have the balls lol
Mine is also weather related... I am flying back to Michigan this Friday for my baby shower which is on Sunday. I thought I was going to get lucky because the temps are going up a bit Thursday (into the 50's) but I just read that it's going to snow another 8 inches Friday night and be back down to single digit temps by Saturday. Now I'm worried some friends and family may not be able to make the shower if the snow gets too bad. Considering I lived in Michigan for 29 years I knew this was a possibility but I was really hoping I would get lucky! Ugh.
@JJMNO1616 ugh that sucks. Hopefully it will end up being smaller than they are predicting and the roads will be clear by Sunday so nobody has any issues! Also fx for no flight issues for you on Friday. I’ll be sharing the same anxieties for my Feb 3rd shower I’m sure... my dad’s side of the family who all live in the mountains of western MA (2+ hours away) have already declined the invites, I’m assuming to avoid having to cancel at the last minute due to weather. God I hate winter!
@frenchiekinplusone I shouldn't have any flight issues because I am flying in early Friday and then out again on Monday. I have some family and friends (including both of my sisters and my mom) that live on the other side of the state though so I am most worried about them being able to do the 3 hour drive.
