What's your beef? (Rant Thread)

My rant - I am sick of this damn backache and restless legs every day.  Also, I'm hunnnnnnngrrrrrrrry (on day 2 liquid diet).

My heart is with you sister!

If it's restless leg syndrome, my sleep doctor told me that low iron can be a factor with that.  something to think about!

That would be great if it was as simple as that - had blood work done in Sept and levels were good, but I also have my PATs next week, so I am sure they will recheck :)

How good is good? I get RLS when my ferritin drops below 30-20.  Some people may see that with with ferritin under 50.... just make sure they checked that. Also - D, or Mag levels may be important.

I'm not sure.  I just know they were all within range.  I will find out more Tuesday.

I am going on phased-retirement June 1 and will retire full-time in May. My boss, who is usually just a jewel, has become this dictator -- do this, do that, must get this done, etc. I'm a responsible employee, have been for over 15 years. I've provided her with a detailed list of the work that absolutely needs to get done from Jan-May, and her "dictating" is coming directly from that list. Wait a miniute!!! Didn't I say I'd do the things on the list? Don't I know how to do them? I know she is very nervous about replacing me; it's nice to feel needed. But, really, take your anxieties out on something/someone that really needs your "pushes."

My drug addict boss comes back to work tomorrow from a two week vacation in Mexico.  He is a functioning addict but his use makes him very abrasive, rude, and hard to work for. He feels all his employees should be thankful that he has graced us with jobs, and he regularly threatens us that he will fire us.

He gives raises to his employees that supply the coke for his parties.

He doesn't acknowledge the dedicated hard workers.

I can't stand him and I won't even say what I wish for ;)

I plan on quitting after my procedure, regardless of the good wage :) and Leave him a nice F-U note on my departure

 

Is there a limit to how many beefs we can post?  No?  Ok then ...

1. My surgeon's office takes forever to schedule a surgery.  And when they finally come up with a date, it is a date I already told them I couldn't do.  So, back again to the scheduler - to take another month and a half to come up with a date.  I want it right before or after Christmas, so they better hurry!  Ugh!

2. My husband.  We are currently separated, and let's just say it is irritating when he "doesn't know" what he "wants in life."  Too effing bad - man up, dude.

3. The holidays - there is too much to do and not enough time to do it!  Aaaahhhh!!!

4. People who tell me, upon hearing about my upcoming surgery, about their friend/relative/neighbor who had the surgery and it was not good, so many complications, didn't lose the weight, has a terrible time, can't eat as much cake as they want, etc.  That's nice.  I don't care.  Please shut up.

5. That's it for now.  :)

Dear Coworker: You, sir, smell like Friday night at a French *****house. Ease up on the cologne. My sinuses are burning. Also, see a doctor about that cough. It is one of the worst I've ever heard. I find it extremely disrespectful that you come to work so obviously sick yet brag about how much time off you have accrued. Lastly, stop going on weird political rants/diatribes with our customers.

Dear Daughter: You will continue to lose privileges until your behavior is up to snuff. I will not allow you to act like a brat without corrective action.

Dear Husband: Please quit buying yourself stuff before Christmas. Sirius satellite radio and an enclosed trailer so far, and we are only six days into the month.
