    It's Friday and I'm at work while my FI is home still sleeping so I'm cranky.  So let's all complain! ha ha ha.

    Here are my complaints:

    • Either our hotel is screwing with us because they don't want to give us a free room or our guests are booking at other hotels
    • My dress is TOO SHORT thanks to the shoes I'm wearing to instead of being hemmed the seamstress is having to lengthen it.  Figures.
    • I live where the crazy "pastor" planned on burning the Koran and the whole city is a freaking mess.  Many people including soldiers overseas are still in danger even though it's been canceled. And now this is what we're going to be known for instead of our world renowned hospital, championship winning athletics and hardcore academics.  Awesome.  There's so much fear here it isn't even funny.
    • We've had five people point blank ask why certain people weren't invited and it's grating on my last nerve.  The next person who asks me such a stupid question my response is going to be as follows, "They weren't invited because they are ugly and I don't want ugly people in my pictures."  See if they ask me another stupid question (Please know that is not really how I feel, but I feel as though a question as stupid as that deserves and answer that is equally outrageous).

    You're turn!  Complain away!

    @shaydenise: About the hotel thing.  Your wedding is still a month and a half away.  You'd be surprised at how long OOT guests wait to make reservations!  I thought my guests were booking somewhere else but, no... they were just procrastinating!!!

    @PumpkinSpiceChai: Well I know they booked rooms somewhere because they've booked flights and RSVP'd.  FI's family is one those that like to book months in advance lol.  And a big reason I say the hotel is screwing with us is because back in July they said our block was almost full...  but whatever, I'm to the "I just don't care" point lol

    here's mine:

    yay, its finally friday!!  Can't wait for the day to be over cuz I'm so over my job and haven't been able to find somethign else that am willing to leave this one for. So here's to working too hard for crappy pay....

    I woke up in the middle of the night with a wicked charlie horse in my calf and it still hurts, and tomorrow we will be walking around all day at Renn Fest. I am forever hurting something in my lower extremities right before either going on vacation or doing a walking event

    The Breast cancer walk this year is early, so its the day after my friends wedding. So now, instead of getting drunk with them, I have to stay relatively sober so I can wake up at the ass crack the next day to go walk like 6 miles. Awesome.

    My student loans come due in November, so now I gotta figure out where the hell I'm gonna get $300 a month from if I don't find a new job. Plus, i am trying to get a new car, which would be another at least $200 a month payment. Hopefully the job fairies will be nice to me soon...

     

    Oh and as a better response to your "why isn't this person invited?" you can use either "they didn't make the cut" or its not in the budget". Although I honestly like your response better lol.

     

    Man, now I feel better, thanks for that :)

    @MrsSl82be:  Wow, I'm pretty sure I could have written your complaint about job/student loans/car exactly one year ago!  Luckily The day after I started researching PhD programs I got a job offer and was outta my crap hole of a job that I had at the time!  Keep on looking, something better will come up for you!

    And yeah, those are generally my responses but seeing the look on people's faces with that other comment is almost too tempting to stand... ha ha

    **I just want to add that people wait until the last second to make hotel reservations. That's why our hotel blocks closed 4 weeks before the wedding, to force us as bride and groom to annoy our guests to finally book their room, but of course we didn't since our rooms were free regardless.

    I don't mean to start a political debate, but I am really disappointed that on the 10 year anniversarry of 9/11 the two top news stories are anti-American. And we are all fighting over both of them instead of joining together as a nation. Right, wrong, left, right, we should do what's best for US and focus on becoming stronger but instead we are divided and weakening.

    I am so glad to have moved into our new house, however it is no where near finished.

    I am living in a construction zone with wire hanging from the ceiling, no bathroom door, tools everywhere and just an absolute mess. And my gate still isn't finished so my dogs can't enjoy their new backyard.

    I took almost three weeks off for the wedding and honeymoon which were amazing, but now it's back to reality. I am so far behind at work only to find out that some of the things I asked my boss to cover while I was away was never done and it's a nightmare to fix.

    But it's Friday and I just deposited my wedding checks so all in all it's not too bad.

    yesterady (1 week from when my flowers are to be shipped, wedding in 8 days) I got an email that I need to substitute the main flower in my arrangement. Spen time looking on website to see what will work, talk to the company and of course they aren't sure if they will have those either.

    have to get this all figured out today, this stinks. Happy Friday (oh wait my FMIL decided she has to come visit tonight, we see her a couple times a year.  Not really involved with our children, so I get to have  company on top of everything going on)

    End Rant!

    I'm lonely.  Four of my best friends (two couples) were grad students, and got internships in other states and moved away.  I still have other friends here, but it's not the same.  The four that moved were just so easy to be around and make plans with.  I could call them any time and be like "what are you doing tonight?"  My friends that are still here are so high maintenance.  It requires weeks of planning just to get together and do something, and then one friend in particular is ALWAYS cancelling.  We only seem to be able to get together for an event, like a bachelorette party or birthday.

    @moderndaisy: It's the 9 year anniversary, not the 10 year. It happened in 2001; this is 2010.

    I am currently annoyed that one of my bridesmaids has still not altered her dress, with the wedding 2 weeks away. Oh well, it's her problem if she has nothing to walk down the aisle in!

    • There's a conga party in my sinuses right now
    • I ran out of Kleenex at work.
    • The group's salsa party is actually in another building. And I brought salsa! Grr
    • DH is still working at Target and had to clean up poop the other day at work. Poor guy. Working at Target really gets to him and I hate seeing him like that.

    @beckiesue: Not to be obnoxious (because this is a complaint post) but usually if you can force yourself to work out for about two weeks (and get over the hump) you'll end up with MORE energy with consistent workouts.

    • FH completed zero of his wedding tasks leaving me to do them at the last minute. Instead of coasting into the home stretch as I planned, I'm now furiously trying to find a DJ, book our transportation, and get our hotel room. 
    • The vendors that provide the aforementioned services won't just cut to the chase and say how much they charge for certain things. 
    • Because I work on a new product that gets a lot of interest, work is INSANE right now.
    • I haven't yet had the chance to properly grieve the loss of my mother because all of the above.
    • Wedding guests have the audacity to get smart assed with me when I ask about RSVPs. With pre-stamped, pre-addressed return envelopes and online RSVP available, there are no excuses.

    @hilsy85: It's also Sept. 10th today, so it's not an anniversary at all.

     

    I am also working on Friday morning while SO is snoozing. Lame!

    I'm sad because he is getting paid and has a lot of money at the moment and he had hinted, heavily, that he'd be buying my ring with this money. Last night he said he didn't know how long it would be before he could do it. I feel selfish and guilty, but I really want to be 'officially' engaged. We're planing a DW in May 2012 and we have a small budget. I'm already doing some DIY project so we can spread out the expenses and tackle things ahead of time if possible....but I feel weird telling anyone until it's official.

    I'm a magazine editor and I have a large project due. My material came in, late, and incomplete. Now I'm waiting on my source to provide the completed material. Because I have nothing better to do than sit around and wait, right?

    Back to the non-engagement thing - a friend came out and asked when we were planning to get married and I told her. We're close and she totally understands the situation. I mentioned that I bought a guest book for $4 that corresponds to our 'theme' and as I said it, one of my single (never had a real boyfriend) friends made the 'she's crazy!' hand gesture and a face at another single friend. I wanted to smack her in the face.

    I'm doing an ovarian cancer walk tomorrow and even though the walk is at 9:45 we're supposed to meet up at 7:15. AM! I'm all for charity and such but why the F does it have to be so early? And do we really need 2.5 hours for 'registration?' I already registered online! The ungodly hour means I can't go to the Farmer's Market tomorrow either, and we'll have to wait until Sunday to get our groceries. Why must these things take place so early? And why do we need a shuttle bus to take us to the location? Come on guys, plan better.

    I've lost 19.4 lbs (come on 20!) and NO ONE has noticed. I'm heavy and trying very hard to be healthy and active and I'm not doing fad diets so it's taking a while. But I feel like 20lbs is still significant. My mom, who I feel like is the person who should definitely notice first, has not said anything. When I told her I'd lost 10 she said, "Your sister is down 20. She's doing Biggest Loser at work!" I haven't said anything more to her but this weekend she was proud as pudding because my cousin has lost 16 by not eating any carbs. I know I'm not doing it for the praise of others, but it's my mom. I feel like she should notice and I can't help wanting a little bit of that pride from her.

    @moderndaisy: I don't want this to be a political debate thread at all either, but I did want to share that I don't think there is anything more American than protecting freedom of religion and embracing our "melting pot" of a society- I love it! I understand that the "pastor" has a First Amendment right to do whatever, but so do people who burn the American flag, and it doesn't make either action less idiotic. Just my two cents :)

    Complaints? Only that I need a new job, mine is completely depressing and terrible. But can I be the annoying Pollyanna here and say that I love the return of autumn? Yay!

    @shaydenise: Its true about hotel reservations! I had guests that literally didnt make reservations until a few days before the wedding - I was freaking out!! We also found out that some of our guests were staying close to 20 miles away because the hotel was $20 cheaper than the one 5 minutes from our wedding venue! We called them and told them to change their hotel so we didnt have to worry about drunk driving.

    Im going to complain that my office always has the temperature level at freezing and I have to wear a jacket to work every day!! I hate it!

    To reference the 9/11 comments. I understand the sentiment that moderndaisy had. My oldest brother died 9 years ago tomorrow. It still effects our family daily and with the anniversay coming up it is surprisingly difficult to hear so much negativity about America considering you know you lost a loved one because they were in fact American. I don't feel that WB is the place to bring it up, but since it was mentioned I felt I needed to comment.

    @artichokey: what a fab achievement on the 20lbs! thats progress!! 

    My complaint.. well I quit my job because i was absolutely miserable.. but now people are making me feel miserable because for the first time in 7 years im not working or been unemployed and I feel awkward when people ask what im doing next... I HAVE NO FRIGGEN IDEA!!

    one of my gfs is in her hibernation time of.. i found the love of my life and so blissfully happy that i must race home to see formentioned bf and cancel on our coffee for the third time in a row or cuts things early to go home to her bf. While this is nice and all and i can understand that her bf is important  i really want to just tell her to straight that she can enjoy a bit of indepence every now and again and it wouldnt hurt!  I miss my friend and just want to share a little. 

    thats it for now!

    Oh yay!  A Bitchfest!  I'm in!!!

    • I'm indecisive.  To a fault.  And my mother & sister aren't interested in helping at all.  My MOH will & does, but she doesn't have a lot of wedding knowledge.  And I.CANT.MAKE.UP.MY.MIND! Grrrrr.  This is also why I'm now over on my floral budget.
    • My RSVP deadline is less that a week away and I only have half the repsonses.  Oh, and my mom and one FSIL are part of the lagging group.  Sweet.  Thanks.
    • FI said he'd plan the honeymoon.  But I have done 99.999999999% of the work. 
    • I'm picking up the slack for a slacker at work.  Like I don't already have enought to do???  (Like post on wedding bee, for example)

    Done.  yay Friday!

    Yay! Some place I can complain! My complaints-

    *there are certain people I didn't want to invite in the first place but felt pressure to from family. let's just say these certain people I didn't want to invite are now wanting to bring people who I absolutely did not invite, and I'm almost out of space at my venue. now I need to explain to the original people who I didn't want to invite but are invited that they can't bring their additional "guests" (and it makes me feel like such a bridezilla)

    *I don't know when my dress will be ready. I have been trying to contact the dressmaker and she hasn't gotten back to me. there are about 20 days until my wedding. I will also have to drive 5 hours to pick up this dress. uggg

    And I'm sure there are more things I could vent, but those are the top two things frustrating me right now. If I were having a free-for-all wedding, the additional guests wouldn't bother me as much, but I'm having a smallish wedding and my venue can only hold so many people ( before I run out of seats, food and get charged a $500 fine for having too many people). uggggggggggg

     1. I had a terrible nightmare last night that I cheated on Mr.TKE with one of his frat brothers...and I couldn't sleep

     2. I have a pounding headache

     3. Mr.TKE and I never spend time together bc before work he's sleeping, during work he's waking up and working at home, when I'm home from work, he's still working, and when I go to bed, he's finally done working and is watching TV and not tired.

     4. My car is a POS and to get it fixed will cost me $1200.

     5. I hate having 2 jobs but we can't afford to live on 1 job

     6. I'm about to cry because of #3.

    3.  My boss comes in EVERYDAY complaining and pissed about $$...he makes 6 figures!!

    4.  My honeys ex-wife is a total b- and is making our life a living hell.

    @artichokey: I just want to tell you to march yourself into your grocery store and pick up four, five pound bags of potatoes and tell me that 20 pounds isn't a lot!  BTW if you haven't heard of it, you should check out sparkpeople.  I love 40 pounds that way and it's free and not a fad diet!

    I now have another complaint.  I just got out of a meeting which lasted twice as long as it was supposed to because people ask too many questions at the very end! And now I'm starving.  Boooo!

    These issues have happened over the past two weeks:

    • FMIL saw one of FH's friends/realtive, gave her 2 STDs (1 for her and 1 to give to someone else). WTH!? This isn't some random party, it is a wedding. How are we supposed to invite someone who we don't know or have an address for?
    • FSIL ordered her dress 2 sizes too small and is not really doing anything to fit into her dress. I have a little over 100 days until my wedding, Idk how she will lose that much weight before the wedding. Plus, she is lying to me about the size that she ordered. (She doesn't know that I have the email from the store telling me that her dress was in and what size it was).

    Oh, well. I'm going to try and laugh at this.

    Here are mine:

    • I've been trying to get over the most severe case of bronchitis I've ever had.  This started almost 3 weeks ago and I'm still coughing.
    • I'd like to kick one of my bms in the butt because she doesn't communicate with me or my moh.  I have no idea or not if she purchased her dress and shoes.  I know she selected them but did she purchase them. I've also tried to get her flight information from her so I can figure out if I need to pick her up at the airport or if she is renting a car. I mean...CALL ME BACK YOU PITA!

    Ok, here are mine:

    -My hours got cut AGAIN at work (to like 15 hours this week... Not really my boss' fault-- its due to my school schedule. But I may have to start looking for a new job but with my school schedule, I doubt I'm going to find anything anyway.)
    -Two of my professors have assigned papers ONLINE even though they are not online classes. (I like to ask questions and make sure I'm on the same page with my professors before I write my papers.)
    -FH GOT ME SICK! :( Luckily its just a cold and not the stomach flu or something. But still, annoying.
    -I have to get my oil changed but the people at the dealership are assholes. So I think I'm going to go to a different dealership or take FH with me.
    -My book for one of my classes was shipped on Saturday but still hasn't arrived-- and I ordered it Second Day Shipping. Super annoying and a waste of money.

    Anyway, at least its Friday.

    @stephinPA: Did you go to the doctor? It could be pneumonia. I had it last year at Christmas time and it wasn't fun. At least once I went and starting taking the prescription, it went away pretty quickly.
