My whines for the day: 1) office manager (aka The Hag) is out sick. It's like a vacation day in here. 2) I got a sunburn at a swim meet this weekend. Ouchie. And now it's starting to itch. Double ouchie. Speaking as someone stuck in the polar vortex, it serves you right to be sunburnt! Hey, I did invite y'all down for a vacation, yanno. But this early punch of summer just means there's more cold weather coming this way. I still have soup stock in the freezer, so it must be so.

Another complaint.
I got one of those robo calls, asking for my husband and it said to press 9. I did. I always have to. I'm always too curious.
I then got an aggressive woman who wanted to talk with my husband. I told him that I was him. She then went on to say that she was going to finish up opening up a file on me, and I kept asking what file, why won't she identify herself, and she kept repeating that it was very important matter. I hung up on her, and she called right back asking me why I hung up on her.
I googled it and it said that I was never suppose to press 9 and now the calls will increase because they know my number is a live one.
ARGGGHHHH!!!
And there is no point in even reporting them or going on the DNC list, they are obviously foreign call centres. The lady spoke in French, but she had a heavy West African accent. I can't even block the number, because the number changes every time.
And the weird thing is that she knew my postal code (well the wrong one). I often give the postal code for another city when people ask me for it, so since she had my wrong postal code, she obviously got my husband's name and postal code from a business that we've patronized in the past.

Team building thing is over. The idiot, when we were all asked what we could do ourselves to improve, said she thinks she does everything and couldn't come up with ONE thing she could improve about herself. She's the newest member of the staff who was involved in this. She then proceeded to say she does her job and works hard and sometimes questions whether others do the same. I am so bull that got passed over like it did. Even though the mediator guy redirected and said "well you're being asked what *you* can do to improve yourself" she still just threw shit and not once took any responsibility for anything she could improve herself. Can't stand her. I want to quit this shit hole run away and join the circus.

What is wrong with management that this shit always goes on? Are they really that clueless?

I love giving my kids surprises! I enjoy it more than they do.
But back to complaints! This is my first real break in 4 days. I've been working 14 hour days at work, taking care of the kids, cooking and cleaning. I've been averaging 4 hours a night of sleep.
I can probably do it one more day before I lose it.
Heck! At least I'm not working in a mine! Now that would suck. Unless, I was allowed to pocket the diamonds.

So, what do people in Hawaii complain about anyway? It couldn't be the weather.. (That's all we complain about in the Midwest).
Hmmm. Complaints I've heard other parents say: Little Johnny didn't make the traveling baseball/basketball/hockey team. (My kids enjoyed participating in sports, but never wanted to take it to the next level.) www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/23/worst-things-about-hawaii_n_4812566.html
My high school friend who lives in Hawaii posted this earlier this week. Her friends back in the Midwest were not amused.
Sigh, you just burst my dream bubble. And of all the things mentioned it's a bout the lack of concerts there...and maybe not being able to wear heels or boots ever.
