Bitching

shopgirl82 · Chanel

i hate when that time of the month just happens to be when you are feeling pissy. the worst was when my mom used to ask me. thank goodness my bf knows better because he would get his head torn off.

i ordered something from bluefly and since my name is not listed on our building directory, my bf's is, i have to track it down and change it to his name (usually if it's the normal ups guy they just deliver it).

i am totally off schedule from my job. i went to bed early this morning for a bit. and i have been trying not to sleep all day so that when my bf gets back in town, i can sleep on a normal person's schedule, but i am so tired that all i have done is played on the computer, and threw in some laundry. i should make dinner but i'm too tired to walk to the grocery store and nothing sounds good anyway. would i be a bad gf if i made him eat what i eat when he's gone? cereal, ice cream, soup, or popcorn.

thanks for letting me vent too.

Yuck!

I am sorry to both of you. NCShopper, don't you just hate it when people assume that just because you are female you must be an admin person? (And there is absolutely nothing wrong with being an admin person, but it is so sexist when people assume that you are b/c you are female!)

My only vent is that it is cold and rainy and crappy here today.

I'm PMSing and have cramps. I hate the fact that since I'm feeling pissy and coincidentally am at that time of the month that my mood and my feelings get written off as PMS when in fact they really are how I'm feeling.

AMEN SISTER!!!! This is one of my biggest pet peeves!!! There needs to be a memo sent to all men that if we are angry, it's not because of PMS, but when we have it it just makes us that much more mad and dangerous when someone does piss us off!!

UPDATE: After I posted this yesterday I thought I should tell you about my lovely morning. I have been posting about my utter frustration with the woman I work with and trying to take everyones great advice and try to ignore her. Yesterday was really hard because she was at her worst. So I come in this morning and she asks how I am. I told her I was tired and had cramps cause it was "my time" and she goes ...

"Yea, yesterday I kind of figured that was the case" UM WHAT?!?!?!?!?!? She runs around here like a chicken skwaking and moaning and yelling about ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING and I hold my tounge to not tell her to shut up for one second, and I am the one who CLEARLY has PMS?????? WHAT IS GOING ON???? I am so upset.

P.S. I wasn't even feeling bad yesterday.

I am very glad someone started this thread...I need to vent...

I am soo neasous...I thought it would start to get better in the second trimester....but not yet..

My normal clothes are tight on me and maternity clothes are too big on me...so my wardrob is all screwed up and I dread getting dressed in the morning

To sum it up I am pregnant, bloated, have new zits on my face from the hormonal explosion, I just got a new coldsore, I work everyday and I am sooo tired by the time I get home....I just wish people would realize that it is difficult and I need some help sometimes...

What did you say to that?!?!?!!?!?! OMG I can't believe that lady had the nerve to say such a thing!!!!!!! What a bitch!

My guess though is that you probably weren't acting any differently than you usually do, but she just felt like saying something catty and bitchy to see how you'd react. Don't give her any reaction, it'll just fuel her fire and then anything you say for the rest of the day is somehow PMS-related in her eyes. Geez! This lady has me pissed off and I don't even know her!!! Don't let her get to you--clearly you're not a bitch and it's this lady's opinion of you is not a reflection of who you really are, so try not to take this woman personally.

Can you stick a thumbtack on her chair when she gets up next?

Actually, I was so taken aback, I didn't say anything. So she didn't get a reaction. I just want to cry though. I know I wasn't acting any different, like you said, but it's hard not to let it get to me. Oh well, this just adds fuel to my fire to send out resumes and really look for a new job. Wow, what a motivator working with a total BITCH can be!

Thanks for all your support, like I said on some post before, If I didn't have ST, I would go crazy!

today is better and my day off, i'm actually well rested and can get some things done. but one more....

i hate living in a city that is fun to visit and central because people come to visit ALL THE TIME. since the first of Sept. my bf and i have had ONE weekend to hangout. and we had to spend that weekend running stupid errands. he just told me that his cousin just e-mailed him and is coming this weekend from indiana. it is sweetest day and our four year "anniversary" and we have never celebrated that or really valentine's day, but this year he wanted to, and now we're going out to dinner with her and her friends because he couldn't say no. grrrr. i know i'm being stupid, but i REALLY REALLY was looking forward to going out for it because since my schedule isn't 9-5 m-f, we don't get to spend a lot of time together as it is, and now the ONE weekend that we could spend together (and doing something fun)is going to be spent entertaining people, and doing the touristy things for the second time this month!!

sorry, i'm usually a happy person and i'm going to run my frustrations off on the treadmill right now, but i'm really upset about this since i was looking forward to it for a while.
