The General Rant/Bitch/Moan Thread.

Dude, how can you be posting the correct answers for last weeks assignments when you haven't even graded our stuff from three weeks ago? I haven't even turned in this assignment yet! I know my assignment is two days late, but damn!

I'd better not get a zero, and you better not accuse me of copying from the answers you posted.

Spoiler:

I'm really kicking myself for not fixing up and sending out my resumes the other day. Just when I think things at work are getting better things become even more unbearable. If I could quit this job right now I would.

I just submitted the only essay I have ever written that I am absolutely ashamed of.

Yesterday I decided to peruse the job ads on Career Builder and saw a listing for a vocational counselor position at my agency. There are already four of us there...which means they're planning on replacing one of us.

One of the other vocational counselors asked our boss about it, but she denied having any knowledge about the job ad. So now the four of us are freaking out. There are reasons to get rid of any one of us.

It's possible it's a general posting to get resumes on hand in case someone leaves. I know we just filled positions at my work but they're keeping the postings out there for that reason.

^^That would be nice, but I doubt it.

Exhausted!

Just got a thank you card from Bridezilla for attending her wedding and for the wedding gifts. Um, that was over 6 months ago! WTF?

My sister had a slow go at getting all the thank you notes out.

Six months is a bit much, though. Honestly I had completely forgotten that I hadn't received a thank you note until I got it in the mail. In fact, getting the card in the mail today made me remember how much I hate Bridezilla! LOL By the way, they had postcards made up with some of their wedding pictures. Good Lord, enough already!

Seeing her tomorrow, actually. Our mutual friend invited us to a haunted house. She's going. I must prepare myself for the ensuing awkwardness.

1) This whole being single thing is taking a lot out of me. It feels like I take a few steps forward, and then I take a couple back. Sometimes I'm fine and others I'm depressed or having a panic attack. I've had the worst one yesterday. I literally felt like I couldn't breathe. I haven't texted him or heard from him in four days. I know it isn't a long time, but it feels like it has been forever. I'm not sure if just talking to him would make this any easier. At one point it did.

2) Homework keeps piling up on me. I know it's my fault that it isn't done. I just feel so drained. I've been thinking about starting it for the last three hours. I just couldn't bring myself to start because I feel so tired. I just want to sit around and do nothing. I have some work to do later today.

3) My professor really bothers me. He takes a subject that should be a lot of fun, and makes it agonizing to learn and do.

Went to the new diner and ordered a portobello mushroom burger thinking it would be a grilled portobello mushroom cap and toppings on a hamburger bun, which I must add is how it's been prepared in every friggin' restaurant I've been to where I've ordered it. Instead I'm served an actual beef hamburger with a sliced portobello mushroom on top. It was weird. I was too embarrassed to say anything and just ate it. Wasn't that great. :/

One of my dogs hurt his leg. Hoping he didn't tear his acl, because it looks like surgery would have to be the answer. Going to take him to the vet tomorrow to find out.

Oh no! How did everything go, QueenB?

^He is doing much better, thank you for asking! He was miserable this morning, and had to be carried outside to go to the bathroom. (He's a pit/lab mix, so he's not easy to haul around) I was able to get him a vet appointment fairly early, and found that he has a bad sprain on one of his front paws. He was sent home with pain pills, and have been responding very well to them.

I still can't shake the sore throat from my strep infection I can barely talk now. Had to call to doc and see what else I could do for it. Come to think of it, the lady I talked to never told me if I should pick anything up; just said she'd tell the nurse Hopefully they call me back.

Every time I try to meet up with a friend for lunch, they have to cancel or their was a misunderstanding about the time. I would like one nice lunch or dinner people. Get your crap in order.

Woke up to find that Bridezilla posted a video of her wedding on MY Facebook timeline. It looks as if she posted it on everyone's timeline. Because apparently posting it on her own page wasn't enough. She wanted to make sure that the world could see it. What the f**k?!

Lady, your wedding was over 6 months ago. Give it a rest already!

^^Most definitely! I kept it up for a bit just to show some other folks. I think the video is hilariously cheesy.

I have got to find some way to clean the air in my home because I left some strawberries I bought yesterday out (because I think they taste better at room temperature as opposed to refrigerated) and they are already covered in mold. Fuuuuuuuuuuucccccckkk.

It annoys me when you make plans with someone, but then you can't get ahold of them. I specifically told my friend tim last night to charge his phone because it is almost always dead. I told him I would call when I got out of work at 5 or 5:30. It is currently 5:55. I have tried leaving a message on his dead phone and sending him an email. He has obviously answered neither. Dude, if you would have listened to me we woulld be having dinner right now instead of me waiting around trying to get ahold of you. Now I'm going to the campus, in the rain, to see if he is there. Ugh.

Y'all went out to brunch at the Black Whale and didn't invite me? Fuckers. The best part is the picture taken at said brunch that was posted on Facebook in which I was thoughtfully "tagged". ???

I think they just forgot to add me to the email invite.

Should I say something?

^^ If you weren't there, what did they tag? lol Nutty friends!

Fun fact: My clients use cash to pay for Botox so it won't show up on hubby's credit card statement.

Related fun fact: My supervisor sometimes "jokes" about making off with the Botox cash and the aestheticians' cash tips. Her eyes and her grin get awfully wide when she wonders out loud about this. Related related fun fact: Because I close that cash drawer, I know when $100 disappears. And I know how she covers her tracks. But I also know the boss trusts her word over anyone else's. #lovemyjoblikearootcanal

^^Your job sounds lovely! More delightful than my own where I'm being judged on quantity not quality as if I worked at a factory assembling widgets. My (human) clients aren't widgets! :/
