Tiny Complaints

I don’t think it puts a person at active negative risk. I think it asks a person to carry more than they should be asked to. The second thing I am aware of makes me worry that the person is already carrying more than the others are considering. I do believe the person is capable of carrying it. But then it comes to a discussion of capable vs. being weighed down - which is another type of risk, one of not thriving as much as otherwise would be possible.

Which is the approach that the others might be able to hear. Thank you for helping me get to a better articulation.

I think I swallowed too much pool water.

My tiny complaint is that people don’t take responsibility for their pets and whereas I did have a break in my schedule today where I was going to relax, now I have to use that break to hang these flyers.

I have a not-so-tiny nepotism work complaint. It will not change, and I need to just get over it, but honestly it’s hard. I thought maybe getting it off my chest here would help.

My boss’s 26 year old daughter has been working here for about a year full time. She is still training, so not selling and not being paid commission. Basically she has been her fathers assistant. She got paid 61k for this as well as getting her house remodel bills paid for at about another 10k. She also took at least an extra week of vacation, maybe two. For reference, in my area a non-family member would probably make 27k doing this same (simple, not physically strenuous) desk job. She made WELL over double simply because she’s the daughter.

Am I jealous? Yep. Is it unfair? Yep. (I am well aware life is unfair, but holy cow is that a crazy amount of money for what she actually did.) I am also aware that it is not her “fault” that she’s getting special treatment for being the daughter, and I need to not “blame” her as hard as it is for me. Definitely won’t be feeling sorry for her when she complains she’s poor though!

For a comparison… I do get paid on commission for my sales, (and have to pay back any mistakes I make,) and I made 40k last year at 50 years old. My highest year was probably 53k a couple years ago, and that may well never happen again as it is all sales-based. I mean, what’s daddy going to pay her when she actually sells and starts to make the company money? 90k? Sheesh.

Rant over.

I am clumsy and now there is shredded cotija everywhere. Does anyone have a dog I can borrow?

There were pancakes on my plate a few minutes ago and now they’re gone but I still want more. I do not want to make more, I just want them to magically appear on my plate.

(I’m so happy this thread exists.)

I figured out how to latch. But not unlatch. At 45/55 minutes on the left, I was deeply uncomfortable and needing to poop. And some internet triple feeding guide days feeding should take no more than. 45 minutes. But if each boob is 30-55(please never a full hour again on one side)…and then spoon and cup is another 5 minutes… we’re so so far past it.

Next week is Mardi Gras already and I wanted to preorder paczki from the bakery by work but you have to order 4 of the same flavor if you preorder and I only want 2, one for me and one for Boyfriend. And, different flavors for each of us.

Also, unlike the bakery near where we used to live, you have to CALL to place an order, there’s no online form. WTF, what year is this?

I don’t think my current work schedule is conducive to standing in line to buy 2 paczki. Last year I was in line for more than an hour, not counting the walk to and from. BAH. If I do not get paczki because of my stupid meeting schedule I am going to be angry.

We get paszki year round. I just got to SO 8 of them for Valentine’s Day because he loves them. One store I get them from if it’s on my route bakes them fresh daily and has carts full of them to pick. So good! But not good for my waistline! And can cause tummy aches if you eat too many at once when pmsing!

No one has brought me coffee. No one has even made coffee! All signs point to me having to make the coffee if I want coffee, JUST LIKE YESTERDAY. Why is my life so hard?
