Tiny Complaints

I signed up for a thing that requires I wake up early. I was unable to sleep for multiple hours in the middle of the night. I can’t skip because I want to be an organizer for this group, and last minute cancellations don’t look good.

It was my night on duty with Ewok (we try to alternate) and he woke up TWICE needing cuddles both times to get back to sleep, and still woke up at 5am.

He was coughing both times he woke up, so now I’m paranoid he’s getting sick again.

Intrigued by that last one…

I’m frustrated that I always have to “be the bigger person” at work when in conflict with my dysfunctional co workers. I have two coworkers that are particularly difficult, and are allowed to act in a way that is completely unprofessional but overlooked in the industry that I work in. I should honestly be used to it by now, because it has been this way in every job I’ve had since college, but I’m tired of being the understanding one who is always trying to change the way I communicate to cater to what these two people need.

So…

What if you stop catering and trying to change? Still be professional, but just carry on as you would with an actual sample co-worker.

I know it is easier said than done.

Airbnb guests stole all the dishcloths but bought a second set of plates for the apartment, and want to bill us for them.

Also they were utterly filthy while they were here

I’m in Hawaii and I want to do All The Things, but I’m pregnant and have to keep doing wimpy things like “pacing myself” and “avoiding heat stroke”. eyeroll

This Tiny Complaint is about the Tiny Disease Vector that passed his head cold onto me. I can’t be certain of exactly when he did, but I have a suspicion it was while he was ‘flying in the sky like a birdie’ and a drop of snot fell directly into my mouth.

I got soaked on the walking leg of my commute to work. Blergh.

Purchased reciprocating saw and metal cutting blade to cut striker bolt on my truck door as it won’t open from the inside or outside. Saw stroke is too long and I can’t calibrate a good distance to cut the bolt without beating the saw to death on the door frame. So it goes. Looks like I’m taking it to the shop.

Aw, that’s the worst! When best laid plans with the purchase of necessary tools still falls through. My sympathies!

I have the very same problem! It helps that bf would go 9 days a week if he could (actually like 5…) so I can always say “well I’m going because I should but I’m only doing easy ones!” And then I get into it more and challenge myself. But sometimes I have to hold myself back from trying something hard that will mess up my motivation. It’s a delicate balance. Anyway I feel you. Yes.

Was supposed to have call with client at 3, client pushed call to 3:30. It is now 3:53 and still no call. Huge pet peeve of mine.
