WTF Wednesday 5/2

Hollyyyyy · May 2018

Didn't see this started yet. What's making you say WTF today?

texas_t · May 2018

I've been in a terrible mood today, so pretty much everything. We have video phones at our office and I should consider turning my camera off because I can't control the eye rolls.

There was a huge rat in the bathroom at work. I can never use the bathroom there ever again.

Hollyyyyy · May 2018

@texas_t Solidarity. I've been so bitchy yesterday and today, I can't stand myself. I am well aware that I'm acting irritable and bratty, but I can't seem to stop it. WTF self.

My paralyzed dog who is confined to a nice comfortable "playpen" with his bed while I'm at work has escaped for the third time in two weeks. It's been 2 1/2 years since we started doing this for his own safety and we've never had any issues until recently. I see him on our security camera lounging on the family room carpet, quite proud of himself.

WTF tastebuds. I love salsa. I eat it all the time (making it or store bought). I bought a container I usually love last week and it just didn’t taste that good. I splurged a little and bought a dif brand- that I also remember liking, and it’s also blah. They taste like watery tomatoes now. Maybe fresh, homemade ones will be good. Gotta wait for my tomato and pepper plants to grow!

@lippy625 How I just pictured your dog

@misfithero that is how I picture my dog every time I talk to him

trucksntutus · May 2018

@ay-eff OMG. NO.

@texas_t I feel you there. Although my office doesn't have video cameras I work in a call center and can hardly contain my eye rolling lol!

trucksntutus · May 2018

As for my own WTF -- I found out today that my roommates new puppy has hook worms. Ughhhh. My SO and I have a GSD and if he gets them he'll lose his mind. Also, my daughter walks around in the backyard all the time with bare feet so we have to watch for symptoms of her getting them too. So, that's been nice today.

PensiveCrayon · May 2018

Having a Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, WTF Day over here. Let's count the ways:

1) I forgot to put shoes on my kid so I couldn't drop him off at hourly care on base so I could write and do groceries on my own. (See "Why My Pregnant Self is Crying")

2) The kid kept yelling and standing up in the cart at the grocery tore

3) The store was out of both boxed spice cake mix and pumpkin puree. WTF? All I wanted to make were some healthyish pumpkin muffins!

4) I tried to drown my feelings with grocery store sushi but it didn't come with a packet of soy sauce and of course I didn't pick one up.

5) Abandoned sushi plan (three soy sauce-free bites in, of course, because at that point I was starving) and decided to go by Panera as was my original child-free plan. Salad didn't come with a fork, chips came instead of an apple.

6) My child has just decided that one one-hour nap is fine for today and completely protested his second nap. (Actually it appears he's just fallen asleep. One minute past his one-hour cutoff. So getting him to bed tonight will be fun, in addition.)

Also my husband is being a doofus jerk today. So. I think the problem is more with my attitude and less with the world around me. That is all. Thank you for listening.

texas_t · May 2018

@pensivecrayon I declare a do-over!

kchiquita20 · May 2018

I typically have Wednesday off, but my coworker is on vacation. We had ONE patient scheduled, but then it got cancelled because our doctor and office manager had to fly to another city to meet with corporate...

And they still made me come in and sit here for 6 hours for NO REASON. I am so annoyed. I even questioned them about the point of me coming in and they totally didn't have a reason other than I can "probably find something to do... like, stock rooms (I do that every day before I go home... already done), or prep charts (only 2 I still need for the rest of the week that takes me 2.5 minutes to do.

hkom · May 2018

@tumbleweed-1 I have been seriously craving a very specific brand of salsa. I've only ever bought it at Sams Club in highschool when my parents were members, and I'm not a member now. I think I can get it at Walmart, but I have no guarantee that the one I go to will have it. I think I'm going to stop tomorrow to find it. Be prepared to see me in Why my Pregnant Self is Crying if they don't have it.

hkom · May 2018

None of my bras fit and the new ones I ordered haven't even shipped yet

AGK2015 · May 2018

Heading home good and late because my boss has decided that the best use of our collective manpower tomorrow is for the two of us to go through every item in my desk together so she can critique my organizational skills. We'll also go over the exact same report we've gone over twice today but in greater detail so that she can understand exactly why I'm overwhelmed ("Because I've got a 50% higher workload than my colleagues this month not counting the multiple projects and reporting duties you keep asking me to push to higher priority and I spent an entire week unable to spend time on anything but one important customer" is apparently not an adequate explanation). I could have gotten a lot accomplished in the extra time I spent at the office; instead I spent all that time making sure that I managed to identify every single piece of paper in my desk and that none of them related to seeking employment elsewhere or were (GASP!) from April, which apparently is taboo now that we're, in her words "almost to mid-May." Sigh.

PensiveCrayon · May 2018

@AGK2015 Wow, micromanage much?

maureenmce · May 2018

@AGK2015 Oh my gosh, that is not only annoying but sounds like an incredible invasion of privacy! Ugh. Also, I don't know why, whenever there are work overload or efficiency problems, the decision is made to micromanage to the point of creating more work and efficiency problems! We just had a similar episode in our office where the big bosses decided they were going to review everyone's work at the end of the day. They kept us all very late, had the first person in review for an *hour and twenty minutes* the second person for a half hour...then they like, abruptly gave up and have never reviewed my work or my other colleagues? And it's been a week and they have never mentioned it again? And we had to stay until nearly 9 pm that night for the pleasure of not accomplishing anything?

But now I'm at least grateful that no one is going through my desk contents. Yikes.

@PensiveCrayon honey you need a quite place and a pint of ice cream. Sending creepy hugs

@hkom haha what are bras..... Im only in a bra if I'm going some where. At home I let these pups swing free.

morgantu · May 2018

Omg work has been crazy busy for me this week, but most of my coworkers are sitting around with thumbs up butts. Hence my total mia from tb. I'll be back someday, I think.

Babe, I'm a G cup, now an H. That's not an option. It's legitimately painful for me to not wear a bra.

trucksntutus · May 2018

@AGK2015
Oh my gosh!!! That's sounds absolutely awful! I mean, honestly they go thru your contents to determine you're not seeking employment elsewhere? Um. Why is that their business? Goodness gracious I'm so glad my employer doesn't do that at my office. Eeeek!

lavenderlisa · May 2018

@hkom aww I'm sorry babes. I'm only a dd so I can get away with it without pain. As long as I don't literally swing them.......

@AGK2015 your boss sounds like a nightmare!

My second graders were supposed to take an online test to show growth (which is a stupid way to show growth, but that’s a different issue for another day) but they moved all of the primary hall’s WiFi ports for the older grades and never moved them back. So, we couldn’t even access it. Then, our whole schedule got messed up and I had the kids all amped for the test for no reason. Plus, I thought I’d have some time to get things done while they tested and didn’t.

kuailanikaleo · May 2018

@AGK2015 what does your desk have to do with your work?? thats crazy!

@lavenderlisa That gif tho LOL

Yeeeep. In fairness to her, I am an absolute organizational nightmare, and I of course need to do something about that before maternity leave so that people can pick up my files where I left off. And things HAVE been slipping on my end (though that's less about my organizational skills and more about how many hours I don't have in the day). This whole scenario is eerily reminiscent of my first pregnancy, though... By the end, I was in tears literally every night because I was just sure I was going to lose my job. I didn't, and I won't, but the next few months are going to be delightful.

Maternity leave is for job hunting!

mischief-managed · May 2018

@hkom I was having a similar problem and in desperation put on a sports bra. It wound up being the perfect solution at the moment. I feel like the y are going to get way bigger and it is a good intermediate step before buying new.

mischief-managed · May 2018

@hkom and I do feel your pain. I am between an F and a G at the moment so, as much as I wish I could, bralessness is soooo not an option...not even for sleep!

Gwyneddlesliegrace · May 2018

First of all. DH bought me this yummy local beef stick. I was feeling yucky when he brought it home, but now I’m laying in bed and want it. I just don’t want to go downstairs to get it.

Also, clothes are so oppressive right now. I just want to be in my comfy granny panties, in bed all day.

Finally, FREAKING BRAXTON HICKS AT FREAKING 7weeks. They’re super low, since my uterus is so low, but are for sure them. Last pregnancy they started at 13weeks, which was already early!
