Your B*TCHFest is now in session!

 
For you NEW KIDS, HERE ARE THE RULES: THE RULES: "B*TCHFest"  is provided as a public service to those of us who have gripes and grievances but who (whom?), for whatever reason, lack a regular forum in which to air them. You are welcome to voice any problems - large or small, important, mundane or ridiculous -  that currently have your panties wadded, your shorts frosted and your gears ground. Don't hold them in and risk future medical issues, wrinkles and/or those pesky gray hairs.

ANY and ALL issues that are plaguing you are open for you to voice; there are no "sacred cows." They say that "feelings aren't facts", so if you're feeling it, it's legit to you. NO ONE is allowed to flame a poster for something he or she writes, however commiseration is not only welcomed but encouraged. Please, no personal attacks against other OH members (at least, not by name) and  ABSOLUTELY NO SURGERY WARS!

I'll start you off with a few gripes of mine, and you all can join in at any time! No limits - come back as many times as you like!

WARNING! Adult content ahead! Posts may (and probably will) contain "adult" content and language. I know that MINE will. Rated TV-MA.



Okay, here we go! Seatbelts fastened, everyone?

- "Broken Record Complaint": who do I have to fellate to get a goddamned job? It's been 2 years, 4 months!

- I'm pissed off that my husband, unemployed  a mere 6 months, has started a new job.

- I'm pissed off that I feel pissed about that, rather than happy for him. Well, I DO feel happy for him, but I'm still pissed.

- Twenty windy, freezing degrees again today. Mother Nature, can we keep the cold (if you insist) and just give you back the wind?

- I love that the snow is finally melting, but ye gods, the piles of black slop by the side of the road are just yucky beyond belief!

- I want to do more exercise, but between my knees killing me and my wrist tendinitis, it's had. But at least I'm doing what I can.

- I'm hardly ever PHYSICALLY hungry anymore, but somehow I ALWAYS find a way and reason to put something in my mouth.

Aw, that's enough for now. I've worked myself into a lather. YOUR TURN!

 I feel your pain. I am reading this great book. It is called the law of the garbage truck. It tells you how to not let the garbage dumped on you and the garbage you create, and how not to dump garbage on others. After a bad situation at work, I had to go to anger management. I was amazed at what I learned, and started reading more. Check this book out. I was angry the first 55 years of my life. This new mindset is such a great way to feel. I mean, I can't think of anything to ***** about.   

1.  Hating my band.  

2.  Hating the zits I get, I have one right on my nose now, almost period time.

3.  See #1

4.  My cat's sick, has enlarged lympoa nodes, and always throwing up, sick of cleaning up after him, but I love my kitty.

5.  I hate people right now ... especially anti-social

6.  I hate the name of my new nephew which will be born tomorrow via c section.  Orion Miguel  WTF? 

7.  My close friend passed away from cancer 2/17.  She just found out end of January and it had already advanced to stage 4.  Pissed at this friend that was too controlling of us friends, wouldn't let us see the sick friend. 

8.  Why are we helping other countries when they have disaters, why are we spending trillions on war, etc etc.

9.  Hate the gas prices   now at 3.65 per gallon

FML FML FML! 

Okay, here goes.....

I am very angry that ONE stinking person, who is as lazy as hell, is making everyone else miserable where I work.  She doesn't do crap, and was looking bad, so instead of stepping up her game, she started trying to bring everyone else down.  False accusations, finger pointing, bullying....you name it. 

Also, I am VERY ANGRY at my metabolism.  I struggle to lose weight all month, work my butt off in the gym and on my power walks at lunch.  Aunt Flo comes to town and puts back on every pounds I struggled to lose.  When she is gone, it's a struggle to lose them again.....it's not jus****er weight.  Or, if it is, it doesn't come off as easily as water weight!!   So, I am at a standstill for almost a year now!!  A YEAR!!!!

Can I just say that I'm ******g stressed out of my gourd and it's reflecting on the scales in other areas of my life?

In the next 90 days my entire life is going to flip upside down. no matter how much I prepare, it's going to be a roller coaster. Hubby graduates in 73 days from Univ. of Idaho....we move no matter what in 86 back to our home town of Portland.  It might be sooner if we get this apartment in our old complex. But in the interim we are trying to buy a house in Portland.

We are taking a road trip to look at a few houses in two weeks and things are getting a little tight with the move and all. Oh.. and hubby wants to throw a graduation party. He deserves it right!!! Does he know that we are financially strapped right now? He already ordered the keg so I guess it's happening no matter what. All these family members are coming and our apartment is half packed up. Boxes stacked to the ceiling in the spare room.

I work from home (idaho) for a hospital in Portland and when I get back, I'm going to be shifting to a new position and all my coworkers are still in the dark. Boss doesn't want me to tell them yet. I feel like I'm being set up for something that is not going to go down well.

Oh and it won't quit snowing here either. 2 feet and counting. More in the forecast.

so lets see.

weight
life
finances
work
Yep.. I'm a hot mess.

hot mess looks good on you!!

your family will understand your packing and you can't host the party as you'd like they are there to celebrate the graduation they can careless how your place looks.. trust.. plus the beer will distract them!!

Tiff just ask everybody to chip in and bring snacks and easy to eat foods. Maybe even put out a jar for donations to the keg cost. I learned when I was young you can have a hella party for next to nothing! Just let him know it's his special time, he really does deserve some kind of party! Woohoo we'll lmost be neighbors!

I'm hoping since its a huge graduation that his parents will chip in to cover some costs. I've already decided that we're doing a monster vat of cheap chili and a limited version of a baked potato bar. Whats a 20# bag of potatoes cost these days? Like $4 at Winco.  

I should tell people when they get a Keg cup that it's suggested donation... LOL!  I'll have to work on a monster piggy bank to hold all our quarters.  

And don't think that the location has slipped my mind. I've got a lunch date all set up that you just haven't been invited to yet. I owe you a hug from 2 Secret Santa's ago.

im a bit *****y that for some reason every sip i take since my surgery yesterday, i seem to gulp air. seems the harder i try the more air i take in... OMG for the love of god... i have never gulped air before wtf is wrong with me!!!!!!!!!!! not a major ***** fest.... but its making me *****y and sore nonetheless!

oh! Oh!  I have a little remedy for that.
 
Its so simple and yet it took someone breaking it down for me too.
When you take a sip, right before you swallow, breath out all the air through your NOSE. Then you won't be swallowing air. Its sounds ridiculous and it takes some getting used to, but it works.

Congrats on your band!!!
