    Okay this is petty.. But... whatever.

    A while ago, my co-workers stole pens off my desk (nice ones). They are the ones that clicked, and I had a bad habit of clicking the pen when I was on the phone. Some people doodle.. I clicked. So, the GIRLS decided to take all my pens that clicked (ones with no caps) and distribute them out to the CSRs that already had the same pens as me. Okay great.. Didn't make too big of a scene of it, well besides putting my stapler down a little harder than normal, or click it a few extra times, or clicking my nails on my desk a while....or typing a little louder than normal. No pettiness here.

    Our accounting clerk decided to tell me that she cannot order those pens anymore. I didn't even as the lady too. I told my boss and she agreed how freaking petty it is and sad. I didn't do anything more, because technically the owner bought them for us, so company property. So, I told her that I am going to buy my own pens, and she said that if anyone takes any of my property off my desk, she will take care of it. (Which is what this whole thing was about, that they took something out of my area out of spite.)

    Anyways, had to give the book above to get to the reason I am a little upset today. The Accounting clerk that purchased these pens in the first place for the CSRs and whom told me she was not allowed to purchase special pens anymore, turned around and purchased a bad *kitten* set of pens for the two co-workers by me. What?? Pens are Pens, I am not upset about that.. I just don't like the sneakiness and favoritism to certain co-workers there. The funny thing is these same females talked so much *kitten* when I first started, because my boss was my ex-sister in law (married to my brother that passed away) and I've known her since I was 12. However, she has never never shown me favoritism, I always busted my *kitten* to make her proud.

    (I know there are grammatical errors above.. I don't feel like fixing it, you can if you want.)

    easy solution

    buy one of these.

    place it on your desk and then walk away

    let nature take it's course

    I have an ant infestation in my CAR. And I keep a clean car. A much, much cleaner car than average. I vacuum and dust often and I clean and treat the leather. I don't leave trash in my car and I get onto the other people who DO. This is who I am as a person.

    But last week, we were leaving on a trip and our daughter drove us to the airport. I'd been sipping a Coke Zero and in the hullabaloo at the airport drop off, I forgot to bring it with me. It was almost empty, so that shouldn't be a big deal, right? An almost-empty coke zero can in your cupholder for a few days? She picked us up on Monday and I threw the can away when we got home. But Tuesday, I discovered those teeny tiny sugar ants around the console. I squished about 7 or 8 of the little suckers. Cleaned out my car again, put in an ant bait. But I saw another one this morning, so they're still not gone.

    This is BS. I know a lot of people that keep messy cars and they've never gotten ants. Shoot, my own husband drives a giant 3rd row SUV and the danged kids leave food back there in the third row all the time that we don't find for weeks. Half-eaten kolaches, candy wrappers, you name it. HE'S never gotten ants. My ex-husband's car always had a million Dr. Pepper bottles floating around in the backseat. HE never got ants. The ants are unfairly targeting me.

    Whaaat?! Ants in your car?! I would be so pissed off! This calls for a full blown car detailing!

    I woke up 48-hours out from my meet (so I'm low on carbs, low on food in general, can't train at all after training 4+ hours daily for the past 3-6 months) hoping to prep for my guests coming this weekend for my event - you know, clean, make food, etc. Well, our land lord decided, after trying to get a water issue fixed since MARCH, that today was the day that the contractors would start construction. So not only is my house not clean, but it's literally in shambles with dry wall dust everywhere and furniture disheveled, all items off the wall, etc. So the two days when I need the absolute minimum of stress to keep cortisol levels (and in turn weight) in check, I get bombarded with the most stress.

    This is a thread I really needed!
    Hubby was getting frustrated with iCloud and the Apple ID, we were sharing one because it was easier when we first got our iPhones. He couldn’t log in because his fat fingers obviously kept pressing the wrong key on the password and he got mad and annoying because he lost his contacts and photos. He went to bed and I snuck into the room, fixed his phone, reinstalled and backed up all his *kitten* for him, removed my apps from the Apple ID and put it back and had to create my own Apple ID and download all my apps again. Then I decided to sleep on the couch because by that stage I was mad at him for being dramatic over nothing and not listening. He text me this morning and now I’m ignoring him. I’m very petty. He can make me a coffee and say sorry before I speak to him again 🤣

    This morning I noticed my fridge stopped cooling, then found all the food inside was warm or spoiled, including my half & half. I threw out a garbage bag stuffed full of food, and had to drink my coffee black. But on the bright side I got to take half the day off work while the appliance guy fixed everything.

    Where do I start?


    We had a Major plumbing issue in our home. The solution: Re-pipe the entire house

    That means, ripping out huge sections of drywall and routing new water lines everywhere. That is, all the bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, new water heater, new R.O. etc. etc. (not a cheap date either).

    This will ultimately lead to new dry wall and paint throughout the entire home and also the remodeling of a bathroom and a new master bedroom addition.... probably another garage too.

    ..... also yesterday, I had our roof repaired. good timing too, because yesterday we had a storm of Biblical proportions.

    The garage roof had a leak (thank God not the house itself) and we had a micro burst that uprooted one of our trees.

    The tree is (was) about 20 feet tall. the same micro burst took out one neighbor's palo verde tree & flag pole and another neighbor's block wall came tumbling down.

    What area are you in? We got sandblasted mainly and some water but missed your ordeal...
