My one brother never brings anything (food, booze, flowers) to holiday dinners.

I'll complain on behalf of my DH - his new boss announced he doesn't need to know what his employees do, he only needs to tell them how to do their work better. Then he assigned all the work the last boss used to do to DH, so that he has more time to lecture everyone on how to do their job better. Of course, DH didn't get a raise to go along with the extra work. Yes, DH is looking for another job. Redneck neighbors have had a 16 wheeler and a truck parked in their front yard for over a year because, they claim, they lost the keys. Debris they piled in their dumptruck keeps blowing into our yard.

Not having vacation time off for the holidays sucks.
There's one department at work that think the holidays started late last week, and will continue through Jan 5. I was amused that last week Friday, instead of working, they went around talking to folks explaining what the workflow would be when they were gone.
My DS cleans a mean toilet, but refuses to put the toilet seat down.
I am so tired of reading Dora books to DD2, because that's the only thing she wants to read. I'm starting to talk like Dora.

Mom never treats us like we have a brain, and she loves a good guilt trip.

Finally told my bitch of a mother I didn't care to see her for the holidays. She told her husband (who is fighting cancer at the moment) she wanted a divorce (she has been carrying on with another man in our home state for at least eight months) This is after she remarried her ex husband (now current) left him alone for the holidays to come back to our home state. She got here last Wednesday and didn't bother to call any family so she could be with her boyfriend and calls my grandma today and acts as if everthing is great Her husband found out yesterday that she has been cheating on him (finally!) Mind you that is why they got divorced the first time She sends me a message on FB this morning asking if we could get together and I finally stood up to her! Told her after six days of being home she couldn't bother to call and let us know what was up so I need some time to myself and if she has time to pull herself away from her boyfriend I will see her on Christmas Eve at grandmas. I also told her she needs to go to grandmas and talk face to face with her about her behavior. My poor grandma has been a wreak for days, crying and upset and at 87 doesn't need to put up with her shit anymore. We haven't heard back from her today and her husband has finally stopped calling 15 times a day. I feel kind of bad but she is a raging alcoholic and I have been through hell with her. She has started to treat DS badly and that's where I draw the line! And no you can't bring gifts and try to buy your way back in, suck it lady!!!!! Sorry!

A coworker has brought a rambunctious elementary-aged child to the office for the last two days. Kid keeps running up and down the hallway outside my door. We are generally discouraged from bringing children to work unless it is an emergency or a short "hey look at the baby" type trip.
You make the same amount I do... hire a f@*&ing babysitter!

Neighbors three doors down have a white panel truck parked on their lawn. We assume they are unloading a meth lab. The place is in foreclosure anyway.

The sick people who come in to work and infect everyone else.
The parents who send sick kids to school so they can infect everyone else.
The guy with the wet hacking cough behind me on the train...

Thanks Carl She is now posting passive aggressive shit on FB saying how she is the black sheep of the family, blah, blah, blah I want to post some stuff back but have reached the point in my life that I am done with the head games. I grew up and she still acts like a teenager. I could tell you guys stories that would make your heads spin, lol!!!

The guy with the wet hacking cough behind me on the train... We just hired a new person 3 or so weeks ago. She's in the office next to me. And she has a hacking cough. Sometimes like once a minute. Sometimes once an hour. But, geez..

We are generally discouraged from bringing children to work unless it is an emergency or a short "hey look at the baby" type trip. You make the same amount I do... hire a f@*&ing babysitter! Sounds like you need one of Tskeeter's customized Give Yourself a Hug Jackets. These toddler to 10 sized jackets come with sleeves that wrap fully around the child, making them feel snuggly and secure, and tie in the front. The jackets are available with a silk screening of Barney, or the super hero of your choice, on the front. The back panel is made of fully functional velcro. Just the acessory for the velcro wall you've had installed in the parent's office. Help your co-workers control their unruly children. Give the gift they will remember for the rest of your life. Tskeeter's Give Yourself a Hug Jackets. A unique gift they won't be getting from everyone they know!

I have 8 bottles of wine for the week including three for Christmas dinner. I'm not sure it's enough! Call your favorite Nappa, Alexander, or Anderson valley winery. You can be resupplied by Wednesday. Friday at the latest. And they'll take your order for a follow up delivery now, so that you will be resupplied again on Monday, the 29th. If you call Wilson Creek, Bailey's, Filsinger, or Stewart Cellars, your supplies from Temecula for the week at the cabin can be sitting on the porch when you arrive. Of course, if you needed to do some "grocery shopping" while MIL is at the cabin, you can probably get away for a few (read 6) hours and stock up yourself. And, maybe even fit in a nice lunch at Thornton. Of course, if it snowed, you might have to check in at the B&B and spend the night. Maybe two. You might even be able to pull off a YMer's sleep over with some of the folks from the SD area.
