@texas_t Don’t they know I like to munch on samples while I shop? Confession: When I was pregnant with DS I walked 57466 laps around Costco eating samples and hoping I would go into labor
@runrinserepeat I'm sorry this weekend was so rough for you. Part of me wants to offer you some platitude but I know that helps zero percent. Hugs to you and your family.
@katy0990- actually if we're able to get one of the few rooms he'd be allowed to stay overnight in, he'd be sleeping in a hospital bed next to me. According to the hospitals, the average stay is between 4-7 days, longer if you've had a C-Section.
@hannelorre- good thinking, it's worth a shot to ask! I will try anything to plead my case...
@runrinserepeat, I think if I knew MH would come bearing donuts the next morning, maybe I could handle the separation... So sorry to hear that you had such a rough weekend, and that it keeps being brought up.
Ugh, another one. There are inefficiencies in my job. I think everyone probably deals with that on a day-to-day basis. But.. they're annoying, right? Anytime I bitch about the extra work that we have to do or how inefficient this or that is, my officemate is all, "well... here's why you're wrong to complain about that". No. Shut up. Accepting these things doesn't change anything - if we want it to change we have to get angry enough about it that they do something. And besides, if I want to be ornery, let me, dammit.
@runrinserepeat I'm sorry about your rough weekend and the lack of sensitivity/support at work, and especially about your mom. I can't imagine dealing with that right now (or ever, I guess, but especially right now). And I also dislike when people try to justify or explain annoying bs things rather than just let me complain sometimes.
@runrinserepeat Workplace complacency is the worst! I'm guessing that your officemate has never heard my favorite quote from Adm. Hopper (I'm all spoilers this week, gah!).

I just received another call claiming that someone called them from my number. We've had this number for a few months tops and it's already being spoofed.
there are two motivations in sports, which is yours?
@coybig Ugh, I feel your pain. I've had my current number for 5+ years and I STILL get creditors calling for Paula (surprise - that's not my name), and lately my number has clearly been spoofed. Luckily my phone's area code isn't where we live (and hasn't been for several years) so when I see a "home" number calling me I just don't answer because I know it's going to be a person who doesn't understand that I didn't call them.

@runrinserepeat I am so sorry. Thinking of and praying for you
@hkom Great gif for the day as I watched Mean Girls last night. Also, I'm sorry about your GD test being so delayed and then another IV. You're so inspiring with how well you've been keeping your head up. Praying for you!
@Llynde5 I would totally go back or make DH go back for that extra money back if they don't make it right with you beforehand. If you end up having to take that route I hope you end up with a competent employee who helps! You're so brave for taking that outing!
Mine is a minor BF. My coworker took the week off but has been in three times today. I don't get when people do this.. just leave and don't come in! Or at least wait until the end of the week. Someone called for him this afternoon and would NOT tell me who it was and said person was quite rude. Annnnoying.
@runrinserepeat I am so sorry you're going through all this right now. Sending you lots of love.
Today I join the list of us who have gotten into an accident while pregnant. I was in stop-and-go traffic on my way to work today, and when the traffic stopped, the person behind me didn't. She rear-ended me, thankfully not going full speed. I feel fine, baby is moving around, and my car just has a couple scuffs on the bumper. We exchanged information rather than getting police and insurance involved. I will be going to her fiance's auto shop tomorrow to get the paint fixed. Of course my doctor wants me to go into triage tonight for monitoring, but I think I'm just going to pass since I have my follow-up Anatomy scan tomorrow anyway. Frustrated, stressed, shaken, but thankfully okay. Could have been a lot worse!
@runrinserepeat Lots of hugs to you. I'm sorry this weekend was rough. I've been wondering how your Mom was and hoping that she is doing as well as possible right now. @scaredunprepared So glad you are ok!
@scaredunprepared I hate that people aren’t more careful! So glad you are feeling ok and that you already have an ultrasound tomorrow. I’m sure everything is fine but that’s still so scary.
@runrinserepeat I'm so sorry for what you're going through with your mom. It must be so incredibly tough. Thinking of you.
@scaredunprepared Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry about the car accident, though that is good timing that you have your a/s tomorrow to get a thorough checking out of your LO. Thinking of you and hoping everything goes great.
AFM, my bitch is much smaller potatoes than all that, just annoying. Work is basically a dumpster fire today, so I've had no time to post. Too long and complicated to go into in detail, but basically we are unexpectedly VERY short staffed and upper management is in denial because they want to save money and not replace the people we're missing, but we are going to start not hitting major deadlines, and putting off the inevitable (hiring more people) is just guaranteeing the last couple of weeks of this show are going to be chaos and it's so frustrating. Also, hearing your boss say "if everyone just works 10% harder, it'll be fine" instead of replacing 5 very experienced people is maddening.
@maureenmce what a bunch of money hungry butts upper management is being. One of the things I hate most about places of employment in our society and current economic climate is the mentality that everyone should just "work harder" or "put in more hours". We literally are at the beck and call of our jobs at a moment's notice, with email and cell phones. We are expected to take work home with us and basically be on call 24/7. We work harder/more hours than any generation before us and comparatively are being paid so much less. Stop expecting employees to work harder to save yourself money! Hire more people so your employees are happier and can be less exhausted/more productive. Sheesh. Clearly I feel strongly about this lol

@maureenmce Ugh I'm sorry work has been a shit show for you. Some of the management at my company has the same mentality of just dividing up someone's work when they leave rather than hire and they act shocked when the person who has been asked to do 2 people's workloads then decides to leave too.
Really dumb BF for the day but I'll share it anyway. I've got an OB appointment this morning and I've been really good about keeping my weight gain to one pound per week (I'm paranoid and don't want my doctor to reprimand me or tell me I'm having a ten-pound baby). But right now it's artificially up, and I'm 99% sure it's because I haven't had a good poop in a few days!

@PensiveCrayon I was scheduling my appointments on Mondays, but just changed it to Wednesday because my weight is always artificially up on a Monday morning I understand not wanting the scolding! GL!
I was just 3/4 through a 45 min online training and the wifi went out. When it came back, it sent me back to the beginning of the dang thing. *flips desk in rage*
Good news: I passed my 3 hour glucose test! Bad news: I apparently have severe hypoglycemia! There are worse things. At least I have a good excuse for getting so hangry! Gimme all the snacks.
@orangecrush29 yay for passing the test! No bueno on the hypoglycemia. What did they say for helping with that? I assume they don't want you drinking all the juice or eating all the candy all the time, haha!
@morgantu Oh gosh, I'd hate for that to happen! Can you kind of breeze through those 45 minutes and just play on your phone? Haha.
@PensiveCrayon I totally would blame that too! Question: have you tried something like a Squatty Potty? Silly, but bringing your legs up reallllly works! I just have a little stool that I use if I'm having problems and it usually helps!
