Say it here cause you can't say it directly- the get it off your chest thread (Part 1)

I usually like my iPhone, and I don’t mind autocorrect too much, but why does it autocorrect something I’ve entered in the calendar?

On Friday, I have “Fishing” at 1PM. The one thing I’m sure of, is that my appointment is NOT to go Fishing. I have no idea what it was meant to be. Someone whose name reminds Apple of “Fishing” is going to be pissed off when I don’t show up at 1PM. Maybe I’ll be lucky and the appointment was to be at my house, so I’ll be there.

That is a lovely outfit you put together… a hat with a space agency logo, a tee with a defunct biotech logo, and Hugo Boss trousers that have been repurposed for yard work - with a hole and a few paint stains. That is not even Home Depot-appropriate! Hat - saved. The rest went into the garbage can!

I wish you didn’t feel the need to make every thread about you.

Do you ever stop and say it back to yourself, outloud? Maybe try it, then you might see just how condescending it could seem.

Ok, wow, seriously?

Are there new moderators? I’ve seen quite a few posts by people trying to determine what is posted who I don’t remember being mods?

I really really really enjoyed being by myself with the dogs for the week you were away.

What on earth makes you think it is acceptable to treat a coworker in that manner? She was nothing but professional in response to you, but you were on a mission to … for lack of a better term, SPANK her (verbally, of course). You are the CFO, for heaven’s sake. Not only do you lack decency and professionalism, but you bullied someone whose value to the organization is irreplaceable. I suspect you, on the other hand, could be easily replaced. If only wishes would come true.

Ugh, I hate screwing up. :frowning:

OH I really hope I get Co-Op…there is only one company in this year’s CO-OP list that sponsors Chem. E with foreign student visa.

Yes, I’m at my desk, but it’s my lunch time - that’s why my newspaper and book are out. I don’t want to solve your problem at the moment. You not taking lunch doesn’t mean you can interrupt mine.

It’s 5:10 and I am sitting in a relative’s empty apartment waiting for Time Warner/Spectrum/whoever to show up. Promised time between 4:00-5:00. Tick Tock!

Last time I checked 6:15 was not between 4:00-5:00!!!

It’s 2017. Why the hell am I still fighting to make classrooms accessible? I understand teachers with physical limitations are rare in academia, but we do exist and we want to teach!

UGH

I’m so disappointed you didn’t remember. :frowning:

Spending that much on an impulse buy was really stupid of me. I should have done more research.

Seriously? You want us to pick up the coffee the next day? You think I am actually asking for more things to do?
What exactly are your parents doing that counts? Uh, no. Figure you need to be unhappy with me for something
so let’s just make this that thing. NOT going to lose any sleep over it.

While I certainly appreciate the status update on how your broken bone is healing and I’m really glad that things are going well in that department, it would be nice if once in awhile instead of texting, you actually DIALED the phone and CALLED me. And it would be nice if you actually asked how we are doing or what’s new with us. I don’t call you anymore because you never pick up the phone to actually call me…your daughter. I and my family are an after thought to you. You’ve moved on with wife #2 just a few months after Mom died. You are a self absorbed jerk.

On the other hand, scratch that. Never mind. Don’t call. Because whenever I do call you and share with you interesting things that your grandchildren are doing, you throw it back in my face later and accuse me of bragging. Or you twist the facts around and make wild and crazy claims about my parenting that are totally untrue.

How would actually know whether or not your off-base assumptions were true? After all, you never come to see us. You never call. We are just an annoyance to you.

Grandparenting is a privilege, not a right. You’re missing out on a lot, buddy. You know all of those great milestones that my kids are going to go through? High school graduation, college graduation, etc.? You’re not invited. I hope that bed you made is comfortable because now you’re having to lie in it. Best of luck to you.

My screw-up turned out OK. I told everyone the wrong time for the first NAMI class I co-taught last night. I was able to reach everyone so they showed up at the right time. The class went well - my co-teacher is a college professor so he’s comfortable leading groups. :slight_smile:

I am getting a mimosa for breakfast!!!
