Tiny Complaints

I tested my VPN a couple of weeks ago to make sure I’d be able to work from home. Came home, and now I can’t get VPN to work. So now I need to deal with overwhelmed IT as everyone is trying to get VPN working.

I’m tired. All other complaints are big complaints.

I have to make changes before people will accept my merge request.

I know that changing it is “correct”.

But also I don’t wanna.

My stupid new Neato robotic vacuum only cleans a small square unless I start it from the charging station. Sometimes I just want to clean a room, and the old versions never had this problem.

Plus, it has WiFi and I really didn’t want that “feature” but they don’t make “dumb robots” anymore.

I think this might be my fault. I just read the manual, and I’m supposed to press once for full cleaning, twice for spot cleaning.

But why couldn’t they just tell me that when I sent in a complaint to tech support instead of sending me a link to “start chat now”?

The female CEO with (adult) offspring at my company is not interested in modifying the maternity leave policy that would result in me getting paid 1/3 of my salary (the max amount for their standard disability leave).

Meanwhile they are working on giving men 2 fully paid weeks of paternity leave, which is somehow meant to make me feel better???

Anxiety re coronavirus. Coronavirus itself is a large complaint; my anxiety is a small one.

My cleaners couldn’t get the key I left to open my front door. So now I have to clean my house before people come over on Sunday. I’m confused as to why the key didn’t work. I am not looking forward to cleaning.

I mis-remembered what day I was on in the Boob Voyage advent calendar.
Today is day 40.

Not day 38.

I feel terrible for complaining about this, but Husband is cleaning house and doing laundry and it is the most distracting thing in the world as I have my first day of working from home.

A friend had her first trimester scan last week and the baby is perfect. That’s the good news I’m holding onto, if you’d like to share it :slight_smile:

Also, social distancing is boring. I like my people and I want to see them!

I had a plumber out last week, but he did not fix the problem. So next week they are replacing the pvc pipes in the basement. It is not finished, just painted concrete, but I think it’s still going to be messy.

More good news for you: one of my grad school colleagues almost got stuck in Europe, where she was attending a funeral. The community came together and raised almost $1000 to help get her back to the US.

Social distancing is stupid and I hate it.

A truly minuscule complaint: store-brand peanut butter chips are not nearly as tasty as Reeses peanut butter chips, but that’s what I have.

I keep debating how much social distancing to do.
Can I invite a friend over for dinner? Is going to the movies completely out of the question? Will I be stuck with only my dog and husband for company until the end of days?!?
