OMG y'all- I'm sitting at the social security office trying to get a replacement card ... And this woman ( probably in her 50s or so) has pajama shorts on that are seriously up her butt... It looks like she has underwear on without any shorts.... What in the world ?!? I can't help but think the little girl with her is doomed!!

Silly rant..but this girl is driving me nuts!
Last year she won a scholarship that my brother and I had won the previous few years. The scholarship committee called us before the results came out to tell us we were the most qualified applicants academically but they didn't think it was fair to give it to us again so they decided to pick based on need...Okay. That's fine. We congratulated her as soon as we saw her next, but this girl went crazy! She bragged about it every time she saw us and put it all over facebook (which is okay, I can tell she was excited.) Now, a year later, she's still posting about it and said she was so happy that she finally got her well-deserved scholarship and UNLIKE the previous years winners (aka my brother and I) she was very thankful and therefore wanted to say so on facebook.
How does posting it on facebook (where the scholarship committee and donors won't see it) make a difference? We didn't post about it because we knew many of our facebook friends had applied and didn't want to rub it in. We tend to be reserved/humble anyway. Of course we sent thank yous to the donors and thanked the committee in person though! I appreciated my scholarships very much and feel like she's attacking us...I tweeted something about how the bragging was not cool but then deleted it when I decided I didn't want to play her games lol. Oh well...I guess we just have to be the bigger people, roll our eyes and move on...just wanted to get that off my chest!

That's really annoying. I would totally call her out... Congratulate her on the scholarship and say something like "I really hope you weren't referencing my brother and I - we were extremely grateful for the scholarships we received and thanked the donors and committee in person." Most people who post passive aggressive statuses on FB don't expect to be called out on their immature shenanigans. You be the bigger person and remain civil but just be honest. 😎

All I could think of was how much they might charge you if they had to try delivering it 5 times before you answered the door 🙁

Got a parking ticket Saturday for parking (for the last time!) at the same place where I've always parked to volunteer this one place. I park there at least once, often twice, a month with no problems for almost 18 months. It's like a driveway space, but ends at a chain-link fence enclosing an abandoned parking lot and I can pull far enough in that I don't block the sidewalk, and there are no signs saying "don't park here." Gah. Why now!
It's a pretty small fine and isn't a huge deal, but, still, blah.

I am taking 8 credits this summer. 2 different classes; both pre-reqs. They are 8 weeks long 😡 I have 24 days left and I am just dying. So tired, so busy doing lab reports. Ugh. I am so thankful I am able to fly home before fall semester starts and a have 3 week mini vacation but I am struggling this week!

so I ordered a couch online and the estimated delivery date was next Thursday which is awesome and what I wanted since I get to my new place Monday afternoon. got an email this morning that it shipped and is now in KS and due to arrive tomorrow!
uggg, ordered a bed from somewhere different and have to call in the morning to get it delayed also. supposed to arrive friday for this one. hopefully it will be just as easy to fix this time around.
I thought I was doing this the easier way. Why do things have to arrive earlier than estimated...
arrrrg.... and now the one that had had its delivery intercepted and rescheduled says again delivery tomorrow. WHY!?

A woman I volunteer with hates me the most ABSURD reasons! She yelled at me for taking a cat to the shelter I work at - first of all we can't save every animal! We would love to but we cant. Anyways they couldn't place kitty so they let me know, I took him back and luckily existing kitty loved new kitty (after the intro was done). So, the following week she over heard me talking to my supervisor about a dead fawn I saw and I was saying how it was sad, yadda silly doe for bringing baby onto the highway, meh. She is listening then yells at me, "WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP TO CHECK IF IT WAS ALIVE" UHM, I don't know? Because it was mangled on the highway and I'm sorry but I don't trust drivers going 75 MPH enough for me to stop and check a mangled bambi. So, now she won't acknowledge me, won't help me if I need help (no one was available to hold my eastern cotton tails for the SQ fluids and she just kept walking by) needless to say I am really not impressed with her lack of professionalism. You can hate me all you want, even if it is because you were listening in on my private conversations with other individuals - I have an issue with you when your unprofessional behavior is affecting me caring for innocent wild animals who need our help. Nope, nope not going to work. She grabs things from me, like she's just being absolutely ridiculous ! The best part? there is a piece of paper on the cupboard that clearly says "work as a team, be professional, support your fellow volunteers" and she's in her 40's! Shes not even a snooty college student. Just EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I had to rant.

My hip/lower back is killing me. I can barely left my left leg up because of it. I have to use my hands to help move my leg, but I can walk ok. Just climbing into and out of the large outdoor rabbit/guinea pig hutches and then having to bend over and catch rabbits/guinea pigs then climb back out each day is making this much worse. I cringe every time I need to move my left leg and my right hip is starting to hurt because it is compensating for the left. 🙁
Sigh.
And I am super sun burnt and I keep having to remind myself, "Do not scratch that itch on your arm, don't do it, no, it is bad, no scratching." Then I forget the no scratching rule and I am like... 😡

This place I am at is still driving me insane.
Nearby this boarding area for the small mammals there is a goat with a few sheep in a field. And the goat is really thin. So I tell the manager who is around, "hey, that goat is quite thin." And he says, "Well, it is a dairy goat." 😕
I tell him, "well, from where we are standing now, that goat is about 50 feet away and I can count its ribs, that is too thin, I can also see the finer details of the transverse processes of its spine and I can see details of the pelvic girdle. From this position on a goat of proper body condition, I should not be able to count ribs and while I might see some transverse processes, I should not see quite the detail I can currently. Also, the goat has diarrhea stuck to its bottom. It is thin and has diarrhea, I just wanted to make someone aware so that it could be checked out."
He then says, "oh, yeah, she does have some diarrhea there, ok, well, maybe we should worm her, but I don't think she is that thin."
Ugh.
Also today I was told by one of the volunteers who has been there for 16 years that the previous managers were much better and took good care of the animals. She said they always made sure that the animals had fresh veggies/fruit (the rabbits, guinea pigs, tortoises, etc). She said now with the new manager that he will not purchase veggies/fruit for the animals and relies on inconsistent donations which often means that there are no veggies for the animals which basically means that the tortoises go hungry. 😡
ETA: I am only in one small area of this place, I can't even imagine what is occurring throughout the rest of the farm. Not sure I really want to find out either.

Thank you for your good wishes!
He's doing much better now. He still has some stiffness, pain, and uncoordination in his hind legs, specifically stiff hocks, but otherwise is back to normal!

I HATE when store checkout clerks comment on the things you're buying. I know they're supposed to make small talk and all that, but commenting on my personal purchases is just rude and invasive.
Bad one for today: In line with a sheet cake in my cart. Cake has white icing and flowers on it, no writing. Checkout clerk leans over the counter, inspects the cake, and says "Generic birthday cake, huh? Couldn't even be bothered to write the name on it?" To which I had to reply "Actually, this cake is for a funeral service."
Seriously? Even if it was a birthday cake it's none of your business who it's for or why I chose not to put writing on it. Now you've just made yourself look like a jerk and made both of us feel awkward, so thanks for that.

I would've asked to see the manager, there's no excuse for that one.

Is there anyone over there to report those things to? Take pictures(discreetly) and tell/show a professor at school?
That sounds like a terrible place.

Wow, what an a-hole. Seriously. I remember when I worked as a cashier they always pushed us to always comment and make small talk on purchases. I never did because its awkward. I am there to say hi and get you out of the store and on with your day, NOT comment on what you chose to wipe your butt with that week.
I remember I was buying a preg test (take one ever month, just because) and the cashier gets all excited and goes "OOOOO are you hoping for a positive?!" I was taken aback but then decided to respond with (total sarcasm) "well, it depends on who the baby daddy is." Silent, stony, judgmental transaction after that. I laughed all the way to my car. Who asks that?! 🙄

Yes. If I was preggers, there really would be no way for me to know(unless of course I started getting morning sickness, etc.) because things are never....erm....regular.

Not the clerk, but a lady in line behind me saw the baby name book I was purchasing for my sister's first born, and went "You're not keeping it, are you!?!?!?!?" Sheeesh!

If I was with someone and not on BC, I'd have to take one every month, too. Same boat. I would probably end up 3 months preggers and not even know it. 👎 I'd rather know for sure that I could continue drinking the next month.

Happened to my friend! She was nearly 4 months before she found out. And we had done quite a bit of drinking. Her kid turned out fine, but I'd rather not risk it.
Of course, right now I have nothing to worry about, since there is no one. 🙁

You can add me to that boat too. Only I never bothered with testing every month. After a few scares, I went straight for the pill.

When I bartended I always had tons of small bills that I would deposit into my bank. One time the teller asked if I was a waitress or something and with a stone cold face I said, "No, I'm a stripper." She got an embarrassed look on her face, and neither one of us said another word. I left there with her believing it. The awkwardness was worth it.

I hope you're at least getting the tests from amazon or something in bulk! (Yes, they sell them in bulk). Those things are expensive 👎

My BC is still $10 a month. That's fine, though. But I've been on it for uh... oh, next month will make ten years. Ten years straight on the pill. I have yet to ever take a home pregnancy test...

I pay $7/month for mine based on Planned Parenthood's sliding scale. Not sure what it's actually supposed to cost, but I've never heard of it being free before.
