Twat Waffle Tuesday 7/30

    Now that we know it's a girl, my mom has now moved on to adding her name as the middle to the first name that she still won't drop. It will never happen. I've told her already that the baby won't take this name anyway now because of how she's just butchered it for me but she won't let it go. I see the name being a problem for the rest of the pregnancy and beyond. She won't take a hint. FML

    @ABabyMarshall Oh no! That sounds miserable, I'm sorry that you are going through that! Maybe if you tell her your naming the baby something that she really doesn't like she'll move on from her name choice to "anything but that"  :D

    That's a great idea actually @BNBT I think I'm going to need a psychological approach to deal with this sitch 😂

    @ABabyMarshall this sounds like something my mom would do. With a heavy dose of catholic guilt heaped on if I made her feel sad when I rejected it. I agree. Come up with something shockingly not your style or hers and be adamant it is the final name. Maybe you will luck out and she will have something embroidered with the fake name and you can have a good laugh later down the road.

    My TW was being at work from 9am-630pm yesterday but only getting paid for 3 of those hours. And I was done at 2 but had a person scheduled at 6. So I hung around rather than going home. Then they didnt show for their appointment. I could have gone home at 2 and had a nice afternoon with my family. Or taken a bath without my toddler needing to be in the room with me. Bah for crappy productivity days.

    @purplefan1 that really sucks, do clients have penalities for no show appointments? That's just so rude ☹️

    @purplefan1 - That so sucks! My husband always jokes that the person to figure out how to do a job without clients is going to be a millionaire. 

    @ABabyMarshall - Annoying.  I applaud you keeping your cool because I would have already snapped at my mother by now for offering unwanted opinions.

    My twat waffle is this heat.  Can we just be at Fall yet?  I need crisp cool weather.  Not this gross sweaty mess.

    @Dancer688 I second Heat being a Twat waffle. My daughter wants to go to the pool today, and I know I should be excited to take her because she loves it, but the heat and I are just not getting along.

    Also, unhelpful customer service reps that don't actually answer your question and just keep repeating themselves like it will magically all make sense.

    They get charged a no show fee but that goes to the agency, not to the clinicians. To be fair, my back felt broken yesterday, my SPD has been awful, and my toddler didnt sleep well the night before. So I need to count my blessings that I didnt have many show. Just wish that 6pm wouldnt have been on the schedule because I would have LOVED to have been home at 2! I usually dont get off til 8 and home til closer to 9 on Mondays. So it would have felt like a vacation day!

    Also, yes to the heat being the big TW. It doesnt feel terrible today so we played in the screened in porch but I dont want to do much else. Also, I am sweating way more with this pregnancy which is causing me to feel the need to shower at least twice a day. I hate feeling sweaty and stinky!

    @purplefan1 ugh that stinks about the no show! 

    @dani_0921 I hate calling people/customer service for many reasons but yeah one of them is that they are often very unhelpful. 

    I third, fourth, fifth the heat! It’s hot. I had to go into NYC today and pick up some stuff and I’m on my way back now. It was disgusting all day, I had two bags with me and BOTH of them had a strap break. When my purse strap broke my bag fell and my water bottle bottom shattered. It was a glass bottle with that silicone “protector” on it. Ugh. Then because I had to stop and collect my stuff from my bag on the sidewalk I missed my train by a minute. I’m on my way home now but I had to wait an extra 30 mins for the next train. Oh and I still have to log into work later since I don’t have a lot of time off and I need the hours. I’m exhausted from all this!

    @purplefan1 That really sucks that you were stuck there all day for a no show, I would've been so annoyed/upset. 

    @creamcheeseplease I'd be exhausted too, that sounds like a terrible time!

    My TW is the company we use for our company benefits. Nothing is clear to me and I've been playing phone tag with someone on the west coast trying to get some questions answered so I can submit some of my maternity leave documents.

    Yes to all those TWs!! Sounds like some type of week for all of us 😖

    I cried all the way home because I just hate my job -my forever TW - and I was there so long today and it’s probably going to be like this until I stop working for the baby. And the AC is broken at work and I’m so stressed. I just don’t know how I can possibly do this awful job AND have a baby. 😭😭😭

    MH and I both got home at 7pm today and I usually try to go to bed by 9:30. It’s just so depressing not having any life outside of work.

    @mc0303 - Ugh that sucks. The no AC part makes a sucky job 100x suckier.
