It was the monthly birthday celebration at work and I didn’t like any of the cake flavours put out. So the cake I had been looking forward to all day, never appeared. Might need to get cake on the way home.

I was woken up at 3:30 am by my carbon monoxide detector blaring. This isn’t a friendly little chirp like when your smoke detector is low on batteries. This was like an air horn.
I got up and saw the display said L6. Mildly freaking out, I tried to figure out how bad level 6 was and if I could just go back to sleep.
Finally I saw in teeny tiny little print on the detector “Lb = low battery”. Lb, not L6.
And then I remembered that the last time this happened I had the exact same freak out and thought process. But I like to think I’d do better if this ever happened when I wasn’t dead asleep.

I worked so hard at getting dishes done daily, and somehow on the morning the cleaners turn up I’m doing a giant pile of dishes

It’s 58 in my house. Furnace repair has been called.
ETA it was a sensor and fixed in 5 minutes. Tiny victory also!

My train sat on the tracks for 15 minutes for no apparent reason. I got into work JUST in time for the FUCKING daily sprint standup meeting that is at 9 a.m. It was twice as long as usual because they decided to combine sprint retrospective with daily standup and I had to sit through the entire thing WITHOUT COFFEE.
I also REALLY had to go to the bathroom throughout the entire thing.

Still haven’t heard back from doc but the prescription went through, which means he definitely got the email. It never takes him more than an hour or two to respond so…I assume he is pissed off or embarrassed.
Next step is having husband follow up next week to see if I will in fact be able to get this prescription again in three months sigh because people actually respond to him. The worst part is this is the best doc I’ve seen and I was very nice and almost apologetic in my last email to him, all I wanted was a clear outline of what to do next time to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
I just hate that it seems like the world only tolerates my presence when I ask for literally nothing. When I point out something minor, even with a fucking compliment sandwich and an apology, it’s like…crickets, or I get reprimanded for being “too much” or not sensitive enough. Like…seriously? I get such harsh feedback on my work all the time, it’s really not a big deal, you correct and move on like a pro. All I want is the same level of professionalism I offer my clients.
Thx for the vent 
it helps.

I hate that you’re still having to deal with this 
I hoped the move from NYC to Philly would be better in this regard too, sigh
Vent away- this is beyond ridiculous

@Panda The crazy thing is it is way better here!!! Like my experience on the whole has been a lot more positive, but this is the first time I’ve needed something/had something not positive to say. And it looks like the response technique is fairly similar, which now means of course I am way too terrified to see this doc again until I get an email back. I don’t want to be treated by someone with a wounded ego, been there and I’m not doing it again.

It irritates me when “healthy” food is named with indulgent names. Like the larabar I’m eating is called “Peanut Butter Cookie.” This, my friends, is by NO means a cookie. I mean, it’s fine, I like dates and nuts, but stop trying to fool me into thinking I am actually having dessert!
See also nonfat yogurt flavors that have “cake” or “pie” in the flavor name.
One time a long time ago, I bought “Sugar Cookie” flavored tea and OMG, it was the foulest thing. It actually made me angry so I tossed the whole box.

I filled a garbage bag with really nice yarn. There’s enough of a few different yarns to make sweaters with them. Each type of yarn represents a plan I had to make something cool, and a fair bit of money. Now I’m taking my bag of yarn to the thrift store.
I liked knitting. It sucks so much that this chapter is over.

I’m so sorry, Smackster. I haven’t been able to pass on my tin of calligraphy stuff, even though I know I’m unlikely to ever be able to use it again. It hurts too much to let it go.
