Yesterday I was in the breakroom it was 12:00pm. My employee Stinky Rick whom I've mentioned before was just finishing up his lunch and heading back to our warehouse. I receive a phone call from my boss on my cellphone at 12:02.
Boss: "Where you at"
AOJ: "I'm in the breakroom"
Boss: "Why doesn't Rick know you're on break?"
AOJ: "Rick literally just left me in the breakroom, he knows exactly where I am"
Boss: "Not according to him, I need to see you when you're done"
AOJ: "I'll be right there."
I get into her office
Boss: "What's going on with you, you haven't responded to any of my emails"
AOJ: "I've responded to all of your emails"
Boss: "We talked about them on the phone, but you didn't reply to the email"
AOJ: "We talked about them, the issues were resolved, there didn't need to be a reply."
Boss: "I'd appreciate it if you replied to my email"
She reiterates that somethings off. I talk to her about a couple issues that were bothering me.
Useless Manager becoming a Director, how I'm a supervisor that has to enforce operating procedures to managers who question me at every turn and go over my head with everything which totally demeans my position.
And she responds with "If you're so unhappy, find something else."
And that's when I blurted out "I did."
Her retort "Where do you think you're going to get a job working 8-5 monday through friday with weekends and holidays."
I said "Actually, I'll be getting even more holidays like Columbus Day, MLK Day, 1/2 day on Dec 23rd, December 24th and 25th off, oh and I'll be off at 430 every day, and in the off chance I'm not I'll be getting over time"
Her eyes got huge.
She locked herself in her office for 2 hours after that.
Congratulations! I am sure that felt fantastic. The reply to my emails after a discussion was just nuts. Definitely time to leave.0 -
Sooo very tired this morning. I didn't want to cycle in to work but it's supposed to be mid-70's today and I knew if I didn't, I would regret it, so I did and I am glad but it's def going to be an early bedtime for me tonight.
Good for you for pushing yourself to do it! And enjoy your early bedtime.
Thanks!

Husband is out of town and we have no kids, so meals are pretty easy and quick this week. Well yesterday after I picked my dog up from the vet some really weird magnetic force pulled my car into taco bell. Then I proceeded to pound down 4 tacos and a 4 piece cinnabon bites. I got my punishment at approx. 2 AM this morning. Lesson learned. Back on track this morning.0

What really gets ME is when I see someone use 'than' instead of 'then'. Poor grammar in general bothers me but I do admit I am a bit anal about it.
Oh, that one bugs me too!!!
The worst I've ever seen is "thoughs" instead of those. I'm just like ?????????? - Where does that come from?
I'm a huge spelling/grammar freak. lol The lack of spell check from people these days makes me so mad.
"Allowed" and "aloud" is one I'm seeing here more often. That one annoys me, too, but that is one of those that spell check won't change because it IS spelled correctly. Instead of spell check we need "proper grammar and sentence structure" check. Or, you know, just learn how to write the English language. (vent, sorry, not direct at anyone specific!)
So just a random question, but... that is a pretty big mistake between those two words. Maybe English isn't their first language? We do have people from all over the world on here. I can imagine if I was trying to participate in a forum in French or Spanish or Chinese or Arabic I would make some pretty basic mistakes.
Yes, I completely agree with you. And I do remind myself of that fact and that is why I learn so much from the other posters here. If someone mentions in their post that English is not their primary language or I look at their location in their profile and it is another country then I don't pay any attention to grammar and typos. It was more of an example about how you cannot rely on spell-check, but I have seen those words interchanged incorrectly.0 -

I agree with this 100%. I've been in better shape post-kids than before. Yes, the shape of your body may change, but there's no reason that a mother needs to stay overweight and be satisfied with that.
I have the same opinion of that stuff going around about how women are more attracted to the "Dad bod". Um, no, no I'm not.
I dated a guy a few years ago that kind of had a "dad bod". (in other words, he had a beer belly). Being 26/27 years old and having a beer gut isn't attractive (if anything, it signaled a problem).
Note: I don't expect every guy to be ripped or anything, and I'm attracted to all kinds of body types (just not beer guts...)0 -

I feel like I should do the jennamarbles food confessions youtube video.
I feel better now that I confessed.
Glad you feel better after confessing! Jenna Marbles is pretty funny.0 -

Welcome!
How could you read so far and then give up lol
Confession #1: Lol I was ignoring my children too much trying to catch up whoops!!
Confession #2: Our cat passed two weeks ago and I've been riding the grief train to cake town. I'm not grieving anymore, I just like cake!
Confession #3: I've finally been reading other threads and its scary out there!!
It is scary out there. Better to stay in the safe house and wait for someone to post something in here to check out, then you just look...if you have any questions, come back in here and ask. Asking out there could result in you being eaten alive.0 -

An hour later I went to a meeting with people I had never met before...and passed out. So embarrassing! I then decided I needed to "get my blood sugar up." So I ate chocolate, ice cream, and more chocolate. I logged it all and ended up 1007 calories over for the day. I am going to have to work hard through the week to mitigate that!
Surely the good deed of donating blood & helping others cancels out those calories?
I hope so! 0 -
No, I think it's just that a lot of people don't read much, so aren't used to seeing words written down. That sounds really harsh. Oops! I think it's quite obvious when someone is ESL, because of syntax issues. I would never judge those people harshly. I can barely order a coke in any other language.pofoster21 wrote: »Italian_Buju wrote: »I can't handle people on lots of these threads don't know the difference between "your" and "you're"...I apologize if I sound like a snob but it really grinds my gears.

I also notice that sometimes North Americans write things like 'Congradulations' because that's how they say it. I saw a long post on a forum where a woman kept talking about flower 'pedals'. I wondered how she could not know that was wrong.

UGH! My pet peeve is their, there and they're. My niece is graduating high school in a week and the other day we were texting about concert tickets she wants. This was her text verbatim "I just wanted to know so I could bye them. I just want to make sure their are enough for everyone."
I wanted to reach through the phone and punch her. Bless her heart, she is going to be an early childhood education major. LOL

My daughter's stupid dog attacked a baby bunny in our backyard this morning. I'm SO over that little a-hole monster. If she didn't love him so much, he'd be gone. Mind you, he's a Chihuahua/minpin mix and he's far more vicious than my pit has EVER been.
Any chance of hiring a dog trainer? I did that as a gift to my son when he ended up with two untrained dogs within a short time frame and unexpectedly and was going crazy. It was pricey, but if you find the right trainer (which thankfully we did after some searching) they train the human to train the dog. That way you have the knowledge and skills not just for this dog but for any you may have in the future. It was well worth the price. Just a suggestion. (He and both the dogs are very happy now!)
That's the thing. We had a dog already when we got this little effer and she is an amazing companion animal. He was a product of my husband's parents dogs which are bonkers. Not only that, but he was with my SIL for a while and her youngest daughter did nothing but torture him (not actual torture, but close enough) constantly.
We were hoping that he'd follow our other dog's lead (she's incredible) and pick up good habits and obedience. That is not the case AT ALL. He basically refuses to poop outside unless someone stays out there with him, which we don't always have time to do, so he's been using my basement as a toilet.
He barks and growls and even nips at my husband constantly, he has terrible separation anxiety from my daughter. We even bought him one of those Thundershirts that are supposed to help with all kinds of stuff, they even have a 100% money back guarantee and he ate the side of it. He chews on anything, just completely destroys almost everything.
This sounds terrible, but I feel as though we've already spent enough money on this little demon even though we didn't pay for him, we spent A LOT at the vet and on supplies, not to mention all the things we've had to replace that he's destroyed, I don't know if I want to put anymore money in him. I never wanted a puppy in the first place.
That's a tough situation. I get it. Does it respond favorably to treats? One basic training technique is this small, hand-held clicker. Try googling some training techniques because all of your family members can do them. It's so frustrating to not have them listen to you at all, so I understand what you're saying.
No, he's a total a-hole. We've tried a lot of different things, and he just doesn't care.

Seriously. I read an article yesterday about loving your 'mommy body' and all I could read in the comments were excuses from moms who don't 'have time to exercise' (which I get, but that doesn't mean they have to eat junk all day).
And I confess that I'm a total hypocrite because I was in their shoes before (ok I never gave birth, but you get the idea).

Isn't there quite a big calorie allowance for donating? It takes a bit of energy to build the blood back up.
I can't give blood for the same reason here. I was seriously upset when I found out... figures I can't be an organ donor either.

I agree with this 100%. I've been in better shape post-kids than before. Yes, the shape of your body may change, but there's no reason that a mother needs to stay overweight and be satisfied with that.

Note: I don't expect every guy to be ripped or anything, and I'm attracted to all kinds of body types (just not beer guts...)
My husband had it when we met... We met online though so I already liked him before meeting, or it would probably have put me off a little bit. It's worse now too, and I admit that it does put me off. I'm a horrible wife... And obviously I'm worried for his health when I see what he eats on a regular basis in the evening (let's say my ice cream pints have been disappearing one at a time).Italian_Buju wrote: »Confession: This was the first thread I opened when I joined MFP, it was at 9.5K and I've been lurking for weeks!
Got up to page 397 before giving up and skipping to the end. It's been most entertaining, though I feel like a bit of a stalker knowing all this stuff about people without contributing heh
Welcome!
How could you read so far and then give up lol
Confession #1: Lol I was ignoring my children too much trying to catch up whoops!!
Confession #2: Our cat passed two weeks ago and I've been riding the grief train to cake town. I'm not grieving anymore, I just like cake!
Confession #3: I've finally been reading other threads and its scary out there!!
Sorry about your cat
Ok I think I'm caught up...0 -
I am finally caught up...for now. I have several confessions to make so bare (just kidding) with me.
1. My step-daughter (the one that lost the baby) and her boyfriend broke up on Mother's Day, so she will be living with us for the time being. The being may be several years because she's wanting to go to college and can't afford to do so living on her own. I have all the emotions about this.
2. My cat that I've had for over 10 years has been missing since last week. We live in kind of a wooded area with coyotes and hoot owls along with other creatures and I'm afraid he became dinner for something. The confession part; I'm not as torn up about his possible demise as I rightly should be. I feel terrible about that but I think it's because of all the other "stuff" I have going on right now.
3. The flight is booked, resort reservations are made, and rental car is reserved for my husband and I's 15 year anniversary trip. We are going to Siesta Key, Florida for 7 days and I am super excited and terrified simultaneously. I have only flown once, when I was 5, have never been to the beach (live in Kansas), am extremely pale (see above) so I'll probably be horribly sunburned, and it will unfortunately be during my TOM, so that's going to be horribly uncomfortable.
4. I have spent the last 3+ hours catching up on this thread as I was terribly behind because of having been so busy last week.
I'm sure there are a lot more, but I really should attempt to do some sort of work today.

What really gets ME is when I see someone use 'than' instead of 'then'. Poor grammar in general bothers me but I do admit I am a bit anal about it.
Oh, that one bugs me too!!!
The worst I've ever seen is "thoughs" instead of those. I'm just like ?????????? - Where does that come from?
I'm a huge spelling/grammar freak. lol The lack of spell check from people these days makes me so mad.
Confession: When I was six months into MFP, I did a 6 month progress post and I spelled it progess. Didn't even notice it at first.0 -

When I first started my current job as a Food Buyer, I received a fax (dating myself I know) from one of my vendors Celebrating 99% "Accruacy" in orders filled complete. I still rib that dude about it every now and then.0 -

If there is tons of traffic and a car had to stop to let you pass, hurry the heck up. Everyone wants to get where they are going, not just you.
I so agree with this! If a car stopped to let me cross the street, I always hurry across extra-quick. It's my way of thanking them for stopping just for me. 0 -
I feel really hungry again today. Lunch is still a couple hours away.
Lunch, dinner, and after dinner snack are logged which now leaves me with just 64 calories. Bummer ...
I feel really hungry today, I had my normal breakfast and then also had a bacon and egg breakfast taco and then ate my banana (supposed to be my afternoon snack) all before 9:30am. I am eating my lunch now but feel like it's not going to be enough to stop the hungries.0 -

At our first base I got pregnant, had a baby, got pregnant 9 months later, and had another baby. I've been in a total of 4 years now. We have PT (run, sit-ups, and push ups) tests every 6 months (1 year if you excel - I never do) and I've never failed a PT test. I have gained a lot of weight and lost it over the years as a result of those pregnancies and even before the military (I lost 100 lbs in college - not the healthy way).
Confession: I have NO sympathy for active duty (AD) military moms who fail PT tests. I also don't really respect moms who get out of the military and become stay-at-home-moms. I feel really bad, but when a woman tells me she "used to be AD and now stays home with the kids" or "takes care of the house", I think "no one cares". Military life is really hard, especially if both a husband and wife are active and I know not everyone is cut out for it, but don't tell me that you used to work hard for your money and defend the constitution and now you just sit on your butt all day and spend your husband's money.
It's something that I struggle with all the time. I know I should respect anyone who puts on the uniform and recites the oath, but sometimes it is hard.
Please don't hate on the military for my shortcomings!! I swear I am a very respectful person and I would not confess this feeling to any mom out there.
Here's my harsh military related post: I was raised in the military and it upsets me how little military families talk about the impact on the kids. You always hear about how the wives suffer during deployments, but if you bring up the kids everyone falls silent. The wives signed up for this - they knew it would happen. The kids were born into the situation. I feel bad for them, not the spouses.
I don't blame moms who get out - I can't imagine if I was deployed at the same time as my husband and had to find a family member to care for my kids (maybe permanently, lets be honest). My family is nuts. There is no way in hell I would leave my kids alone with any of them for a week let alone 6-9 months.
My husband deployed the day before my second son was born. He didn't meet him until he was 7 months old. I understood what my husband was doing and where he was. My kids had no idea. My two year old would wake up crying most nights and I would rock him it let him sleep with me. Many people would even criticize me for "babying him".
It is MUCH harder for the kids!!!0 -
So, I went online to check on some things for school and found that since I failed two classes this semester, I've lost my financial aid eligibility. Meaning, I'll have to sign up for 6 credit hours, pay out of pocket, and pass them with a C or better before I can get aid again. I'd had a feeling something like this would happen, but it's still a bit of a bummer.0
