Dim witted sh_t for brains people who try to pass themselves off as caring, good citizens. That is my beef at the moment.
My former babysitter refused to continue helping me with daycare when I took a young teenager into my house. The babysitter is one of the local gossips who loved to spy on this young girl's unfortunate household. (We all live within a stone's throw of each other) Fine. Don't want to babysit...what can I do about it, it's her option. BUT DON'T TELL ME IT'S BECAUSE YOU CARE ABOUT MY CHILD TOO MUCH !!!!!!!!!
She tried to force me to kick this helpless girl back out on the street by refusing to provide daycare. That is the motive. To have her idea of morals and self righteousness affect the lives of three people who really do have compassion. I'll be damned if I'm going to let someone tell me what to do. Especially someone who's idea of caring means throwing someone to the dogs so you can watch the feeding frenzy. Who the hell does this woman think she is???? She would be first in line if they still had public executions. I am so glad my child is not in her care anymore.
If she thought there was danger to my child having a bipolar teen in the house she should have continued daycare to keep an eye on her and make sure that she was okay. What a load of CRAP! (Things have worked out just fine without her, thank you very much.)

What is annoying me right now is my younger sister trying to boss me
around like I'm her employee. She's done it for a long time now and
she is getting worse. She needs to be a boss for her work and she's
very, very good at what she does and well-respected but fer CRYIN' OUT
LOUD I sure the heck don't need it in our personal relationship.
I just went up and spent 2 days cleaning my Dad's house to show to
prospective buyers (he's moving to Idaho to be closer to my Mom AND
this sister!) and when this sister calls she starts right in on trying to
orchestrate the whole thing. My Dad was partially teasing her and
partially serious and told her she couldn't tell him what to do from
700 miles away. She asks to talk to me and tries to just NAIL me "Well
what did you do?" I start in listing everything... washed walls, woodwork,
dusted every lampshade in the place, (and with a dirt road out front
believe me there's LOTS of dust!) put away clutter, mopped floors,
vacuumed, I mean all this stuff and what does my sister say? "Did you
clean the stove?" And I was soooo mad I could spit.
To not even
say "Wow, that's great that's a lot" and THEN ask me if I was able to
get the stove. NOPE. So I bascially told her right after I hung up with her
I'd clean the stove... and I did. None too happy about it, neither!
Little dad-blasted tyrant who does she think she is, anyway?
Wow, Lady Cop, that feels better to get that out! Thanks for
suggesting it!

Valerie,
Good for you, doing so much to help your dad!
I would have offered to UPS the stove to your sister so she could clean it herself and ship it back. Seriously, that's what I would have done.

The builder I worked for told me not to complete the job site because the company was going to declare bankruptcy before I would get paid. I went to the site on Friday and there were three crews completing the back houses.
He confided that they would likely get ripped off a total of $6000. Turns out the head of the siding company is another "acquaintance". I guess not good enough to get the "tip".
How can people hire someone knowing full well they will never get paid!!! We are not big corporations in construction trades. We can not afford to do work we will never get paid for. In fact we can't afford to wait for three month holdbacks that are becoming more common. How do some people live with themselves? And when does karma kick in? I hope I'm there to see it when it does.

In fact we can't afford to wait for three month holdbacks that are becoming more common. My son is quite literaly an artist with wood, most of his clients are wealthy, older, and building their retirement homes on expensive pristine lots in "gods country". They want and can afford the best, and most unique, these are "trophy houses" meant to impress, they compete with each other. It's good for business in that on compleating a project, he can expect a call from a neighbor wanting the same type of feature,- but "better". Oh did i mention that these wealthy, succesful business men who are willing to spend thousands to one-up their neighbor, also bully and berate for the lowest possible quote, expect instant gratification, demand perfection [sometimes not possible in the material selected], bitch, whine, rant, rave, are constantly under foot, and literaly will use a magnifying glass to in attempying to find find a defect. Then they drag out payment, but offer to pay quicker for a discount.
An example of their character: Kevin was quietly sanding when his client came in to an adjacent room with a friend. He showed his friend a completed project, bragging about the cost of the exotic wood, the creativity, the perfection, then more than doubled the project's cost. His friend was impressed and remarked that "your guy is really talanted", and said he would like to meet him. There was a moments silence, and the client said " ah, listen, he's working someplace around here today, if we do run into him, i want you to be careful what you say, you can tell him it's ok, but nothing better than that, I keep putting him down cause i don't want him to know just how good he is, that would just make him charge more.
The last job he did for the guy was the attached pic of his entry door, Kevin was invested over $1700.00 in the wood and hardware, plus all his labor ect., the guy was 3 weeks past due, claimed he left his check book at his other house, then offered to pay in cash for a 10% discount, said "hey, just keep it off your books, and oh yeah, make out the invoice for a couple hundred over the full in amount". This tic'ed normally easy going Kevin off, he threatened a "workmans claim" and stomped off. Couple weeks later, the client showed up, offered to write a check for the whole amount if Kevin would start a new project for him next week, Kev was already committed, but he agreed.
He took the check straight to the client's bank, and cashed it. then called the guy and said "you are !@)&^*^#%&%$#**&, and @#$^)(*$%^", and i lied to you, i will not start your project next week", client asked when he could start, Kev replied "never", then hung up. The client ranted, raved, apolagized, offered to pay more, Kev was adamant [old dad was not sure about sonny's business sense, but sure was proud of him]
Now the best par decidedt, Kevin got a call from one of ex clients neighbors, said he'd heard about the flap, apolagized about his own lates, then said that he and another neighbor [both one-uppers] were willing to pay a 10% surcharge on their projects as long as Kev refused to work for the jerk.

Old age and treachery, is an acceptable response to overwelming youth and skill

Your son does beautiful work.
My younger brother worked at a touristy Native art store. He had to quit finally because he couldn't handle the way the owner treated the local artists who she bought her stuff from. They came in desperate for cash and would end up taking a pittance for their work just to survive while she sold it for hundreds or thousands to the clients. These people think it's funny how they manage to steal from the people who butter their bread. Sickening.
Bravo to your son.

That's an absolutely gorgeous door!
Koan, I feel ya...and it's hard to remember that when your neighbor points a finger at someone, she points 3 fingers back at herself. Judgmental interfering witch!
Valerie, I'd have been speechless about the stove. Just furious! Sounds like you sister has a competition thing going with you? That she can't give you credit for anything you do?
Ok....an invitation to rant...Man, I am so stressed out! My company centralized the Finance Dept in 2004. We've hired about 30 new people to handle the work form the other 3 states we're in. This is when I was promoted to a new position. I didn't get training on my new job because the person before me was literally thrown into her new job, complete with travel. So, I've spent months copying what was done before me, trying to figure it out, and feeling like I'm failing miserably. That feeling of failure alone makes me cranky.
We're at year end now. We have some new (and improved?) systems this year which ended up delaying the close by 5 days. This is a crucial loss of time because we have to file 3 sets of specialty financials before March 1. We also had another delay in closing that cost us even more (auditors didn't agree with one of our margins).
The experienced people used to have 22 days to finish it. We new people have 12 days. Well, not much we can do about that, so we plug away.
Since January I have been asking about this new reporting system I have access to. Can it get us numbers we need in advance? Some things are simply not going to change, like enrollment and premiums. My boss would just look at me. Yesterday he told me that next year we'll start in January because we have this new reporting system that can get us numbers in advance, like enrollment and premiums. Argh!!!
Ok, I can live with it. I don't really need to be home and do laundry...I can just buy new clothes on the way home from work - the place I currently live at. LOL
There's been a series of decisions like this, too many to go into. But what's really killing me lately is that my boss keeps offering my time to everyone. I don't HAVE any time left! But he gave me a few audits, very large audits. Then he shortened the deadline on me.
Then he offers my time to my coworkers so they can have their financials finished.
Then he refuses to help me. Sometimes he snaps and says he doesn't have the time to explain certain things to me.
Friday night I threw up my hands and in my best prima donna fashion I declared that I couldn't go any further. So my boss sat down and found a tax problem that I would never have picked up on - which would be obvious since I spent 3 precious days looking for it in vain! After we spent a good 2 hours on it, he asked how long I'd been fighting this. I told him 3 days. He said, "That's 2.5 days too much. You should learn to come to me when you need help."
Thank god I was too tired to punch him.
To give my boss some credit, he does try to make everyone happy. I'm notoriously low maintenance - give me the ugliest problems, challenge my brain, and keep me busy. I've been there 5 years in May, so everyone knows this about me. I'm sick, really. LOL. In a way, he is merely doing to me what everyone else already says about me.
He is graciously providing coffee on weekends at my request. And I know - because he told me so - that I make him uncomfortable. Why? I don't know...but I'm beginning to see why for myself.
But I can only do so much. I HATE admitting that!
They turned off our accounting systems for Sat and Sun (today). I usually track everyone's info for them while I track my own - pestering various departments for numbers we need. Friday I asked a coworker to run 4 reports for me, and he agreed. But he didn't do it properly or completely...leaving me to plug $11,000 yesterday. I'll find it on Monday when the systems are back up - but, as I say at work through gritted teeth, "I never plug!"
So THAT pissed me off - being forced to report an unlocated difference (even temporarily), and having my one request fall through. Am I asking too much?
Argh!!!!! And the real kicker is that it's all my fault. I come off like I can handle anything - self-confident, talented, ambitious, knowledgeable, perfectionist....these are the labels they apply to me at work. I often wonder who they are talking about! The only reason I am liked is because I make a joke of it all, often pointing to how I sort my paper clips by size as a demonstration of how anal I truly am. LOL.
I've just asked for it with my own work ethic/behavior. I keep gritting my teeth and doing it, even when I feel like I'm going to crack. What I should do is throw a bloody fit! A contractor recommended that to me, actually. Be the squeaky wheel for once...but I've no clue how to do that...more prima donna fits? Ugh!!!!
Boy, aren't you sorry you asked? But it feels good to complain. I can't at work, and most of my friends are from work so I can't really complain to them either. Thank you!!! And now, I'm off to play a bit more before I shower and go to work...late today, because it's the weekend, or so I hear! LOL

years and years of grime I ain't gettin off there!!
I don't mind helping my Dad at all, he's hauled a lot of stuff for me over

husband I'm going to start carrying around a notebook and write
everything down. Where I put things when I'm home... what people
say to me that they swear they didn't a month or two later. 'Cause
this is a situation where I'm getting into so much junk from my siblings
I can't even STAND it, and I have always hated those kinds of things.
Ah me. Thanks again for the great laugh.

I feel for all you guys! Here's my load of crap: My car got stolen Friday night. Matt and I were at the clubhouse, in a particularly nasty part of Detroit, but the people in the neighborhood know it's a biker club, and generally steer clear. And, there are surveillance cameras on the lot and I watch them constantly. Well, I was shooting pool, and looked up at the monitor, and couldn't see it. I asked Matt if he moved it, and he said no and came to look at the monitor with me. He points to part of a car we can see on the monitor, and says "There it is" so I said "You DID move it" and he's telling me he didn't. I said "Matt. My car is not where I left it. I parked under that light, right in front of the camera, and it's not there." He thought I was messing with him! We went out to the lot, (I would have already been out there, but the doors are locked all the time, a member has to let anyone in or out) and sure enough, my damn car was gone. We called the cops, and the phone rang and rang, and I was so cracked, I threw my phone down and asked Matt to call someone. He gets through finally, and we learn that they will not come to us, we have to go to the police station. So we go. It's not till we get there that they tell us I have to have my title and proof of insurance to file a report. Which, of course, is at home. Well, it's 4:00 in the morning by now, and we aren't going home and coming all the way back. So we get up Saturday, and go down again, and it takes an HOUR just to file the damn report. Needless to say, I will not see my car again, and I only had PL and PD insurance. So. I'm out a car. Some REALLY brave or really stupid crackhead has my car, and they'll find it a month from now stripped and on blocks. :yh_angry
Oh yeah, and I didn't get the job at the clinic. I've had a wonderful weekend, thanks.

Koan, I feel ya...and it's hard to remember that when your neighbor points a finger at someone, she points 3 fingers back at herself. Judgmental interfering witch!
Valerie, I'd have been speechless about the stove. Just furious! Sounds like you sister has a competition thing going with you? That she can't give you credit for anything you do?
Ok....an invitation to rant...Man, I am so stressed out! My company centralized the Finance Dept in 2004. We've hired about 30 new people to handle the work form the other 3 states we're in. This is when I was promoted to a new position. I didn't get training on my new job because the person before me was literally thrown into her new job, complete with travel. So, I've spent months copying what was done before me, trying to figure it out, and feeling like I'm failing miserably. That feeling of failure alone makes me cranky.
We're at year end now. We have some new (and improved?) systems this year which ended up delaying the close by 5 days. This is a crucial loss of time because we have to file 3 sets of specialty financials before March 1. We also had another delay in closing that cost us even more (auditors didn't agree with one of our margins).
The experienced people used to have 22 days to finish it. We new people have 12 days. Well, not much we can do about that, so we plug away.
Since January I have been asking about this new reporting system I have access to. Can it get us numbers we need in advance? Some things are simply not going to change, like enrollment and premiums. My boss would just look at me. Yesterday he told me that next year we'll start in January because we have this new reporting system that can get us numbers in advance, like enrollment and premiums. Argh!!!
Ok, I can live with it. I don't really need to be home and do laundry...I can just buy new clothes on the way home from work - the place I currently live at. LOL
There's been a series of decisions like this, too many to go into. But what's really killing me lately is that my boss keeps offering my time to everyone. I don't HAVE any time left! But he gave me a few audits, very large audits. Then he shortened the deadline on me.
Then he offers my time to my coworkers so they can have their financials finished.
Then he refuses to help me. Sometimes he snaps and says he doesn't have the time to explain certain things to me.
Friday night I threw up my hands and in my best prima donna fashion I declared that I couldn't go any further. So my boss sat down and found a tax problem that I would never have picked up on - which would be obvious since I spent 3 precious days looking for it in vain! After we spent a good 2 hours on it, he asked how long I'd been fighting this. I told him 3 days. He said, "That's 2.5 days too much. You should learn to come to me when you need help."
Thank god I was too tired to punch him.
To give my boss some credit, he does try to make everyone happy. I'm notoriously low maintenance - give me the ugliest problems, challenge my brain, and keep me busy. I've been there 5 years in May, so everyone knows this about me. I'm sick, really. LOL. In a way, he is merely doing to me what everyone else already says about me.
He is graciously providing coffee on weekends at my request. And I know - because he told me so - that I make him uncomfortable. Why? I don't know...but I'm beginning to see why for myself.
But I can only do so much. I HATE admitting that!
They turned off our accounting systems for Sat and Sun (today). I usually track everyone's info for them while I track my own - pestering various departments for numbers we need. Friday I asked a coworker to run 4 reports for me, and he agreed. But he didn't do it properly or completely...leaving me to plug $11,000 yesterday. I'll find it on Monday when the systems are back up - but, as I say at work through gritted teeth, "I never plug!"
So THAT pissed me off - being forced to report an unlocated difference (even temporarily), and having my one request fall through. Am I asking too much?
Argh!!!!! And the real kicker is that it's all my fault. I come off like I can handle anything - self-confident, talented, ambitious, knowledgeable, perfectionist....these are the labels they apply to me at work. I often wonder who they are talking about! The only reason I am liked is because I make a joke of it all, often pointing to how I sort my paper clips by size as a demonstration of how anal I truly am. LOL.
I've just asked for it with my own work ethic/behavior. I keep gritting my teeth and doing it, even when I feel like I'm going to crack. What I should do is throw a bloody fit! A contractor recommended that to me, actually. Be the squeaky wheel for once...but I've no clue how to do that...more prima donna fits? Ugh!!!!
Boy, aren't you sorry you asked? But it feels good to complain. I can't at work, and most of my friends are from work so I can't really complain to them either. Thank you!!! And now, I'm off to play a bit more before I shower and go to work...late today, because it's the weekend, or so I hear! LOL
Sounds like the boss should listen to you a little more. Doing books can become very blinding when your heart is not in it. Not to say you don't like your work but to say when you are feeling overwhelmed and no one helps you can find the easiest things the hardest things to do. You'll get it as soon as the weight of the world is shifted onto other shoulders in a more eqitable fashion. Atlas you ain't and shouldn't be expexted to be either.

BABYRIDER, So sorry about your car. I don't know if I would have gone to such a place, knowing I would have to watch monitors all night of the parking lot, just to make sure my car wasn't stolen... and it was.
If you needed to be at that particular bar, maybe a cab ride would have been better.. but hindsight is 20/20 I truly hope your car is recovered, and in running order.
Everyone seem to have valid RANTS.. So I will say I wish everyone the best. As for me I glad to be alive..!!

AK,
Be careful. I overworked myself until I got hurt. Your job isn't as physical as mine but there is still reason for concern. Stand up for yourself. There is just as much respect to be had for someone who knows their limits as for someone who can handle it all.
BR,
The important thing is that you went to the interview, telling the world you are ready for something new. Don't give up. As for the car...that just plain sucks. Maybe it means that a better car is on its way?
I feel much better for having ranted. This is a great thread, lc!

Thing about it is, this stove is the original one my parents got right around
the time they had ME 52 years ago!! It's got burner covers that drop
down which is nice 'cause that covers up a lot... but basically there's
years and years of grime I ain't gettin off there!!
I don't mind helping my Dad at all, he's hauled a lot of stuff for me over
the years... but I just wish my sister would knock it off. I told my
husband I'm going to start carrying around a notebook and write
everything down. Where I put things when I'm home... what people
say to me that they swear they didn't a month or two later. 'Cause
this is a situation where I'm getting into so much junk from my siblings
I can't even STAND it, and I have always hated those kinds of things.
Ah me. Thanks again for the great laugh.
:yh_angel
Baked on grime. If only stoves could talk! Memories. Hmm?
I would advise not to carry a pencil and paper around to detail your wonderful, thoughtful and caring work. You'll spend all your time writing and get nothing done. Wait until you have finished. Sit down and write it all out and tell your sister to mail you her half. Check would do fine.
Have a friend who kept every toy he owned. Still in the original packaging going back to the sixties. The wife likes his toy collection just fine. I think mom is feeling less rejected knowing that she let him do it.

Trust Bing Crosby to sway the Italians. Turn up the mikes but watch for the feedback.

You wonder why your husband does it? A little pavlovian theory would probably do the same thing. Kids are doing it too. That absolutely sucks. A voice operated tape recorder is better than a pencil and paper.

Godiva Girl wrote: Bravo LC, I can't even get a date, much less have a guy to complain about. Ok now I am going to vent. This is an issue that really bothers me. Women who complain about their boyfriends and husbands. Not all but a good deal of the complaints I hear they have no reason to complain about. If you have someone who treats you good and loves you and you are still not happy, then leave them. I can't stand it, the whining because he won't take out the garbage or the boyfriend that doesn't call every 2 hours. I have very little sympathy for people with relationship problems- exept of course women who are abused and are having a difficult time getting out of the relationship. I am almost 30, have never been in a relationship, told I am very attractive but am overweight, I haven't had a date in years and the ones I did have I had to practically force them to go out with me. Now, I have found out that due to a serious female condition I have, I cannot carry a baby, I have always wanted a baby girl. And it gets better, all of my family members my age are married or engaged and my female cousins have all had baby girls. I know that there are alot of people that have it worse than me, but don't complain unless you have something real to complain about.
See doesn't that feel better? Now everyone knows tht they aren't going to ever whine about their boyfriends ever, again. Hack. Kaff. Erg...mmm?
Sorry about the child thing but you've heard all the stories I'm sure.
How much overweight? Natural foods do wonders.

NEW RULE FOR THIS THREAD: If you have PMS, are in the 9th month of pregnancy, or experienceing "change of life" symptoms, YOU MUST so indicate at the top of your post. Wulf's are a delicate, and endangered species, their tender sensitivities must be protected. 
Old age and treachery, is an acceptable response to overwelming youth and skill

I feel a rant coming on now. I am sick and tired of people that make up rools cause they're woosys and don't want to face the facts of life. Making up rools as you go along means that you are trying to become the king of the den in the garden. If the plants figure out that you are going after their roots then they won't let you make rools.
If anyone is going to make rools it is me. No more rools and exceptions(except of course my designs) can ever be made without my express written consent and a check made out to me in the sum of $77.41, no taxes.

These are not meant to be smart a$$ remarks. If you see them that way then I apologize for making you feel badly. It is not my intention to do that. I am sorry.

I'm glad you shared that with us. Kensloft was not being "smart". It is hard to know what to say to someone with difficult problems sometimes. I think he was trying to let you know that he heard you and sympathized.
It must be hard to bite your tongue at some of the things that people say in relation to what you must go through. Having a child is, to most women, one of the most important things in their life. It must seem even more so when you are told that you can't. I have heard of miracle healing techniques before. I wouldn't want to falsely raise your hopes though unless it is important enough to devote all your time and money into. The important thing is to find you a partner first. The right man won't care if you can bear him a child or not. The older we get the more likely it is to find a man who truly loves us. That is my firm belief and I hope that you can believe it too.

You want to know what annoys me?
1. Selfish people. Completely do not understand.
2. Judgemental people. WTF? I have opinions, but I try not to make outright judgements about a person's ideas, nature, or personality.
3. People who do not take responsibility for their actions. It's always someone else's fault.
Can I just scream?AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I feel better now, thanks!!
