    Usually my MOH and I chat on gchat all day and can share all our little grievances... but today she's doing weddingy stuff with her parents (yay for her!) which means I've got no one to vent to. Lucky WB! heh. 

    Today, I'm annoyed that.... 

    No one in my generation seems capable of MAKING and KEEPING a plan. I'm so so so sick of "playing it by ear" and "we'll see how it goes" and "maybe." Don't ask me to do something and then be unable to commit to the specifics. Don't make plans and then break them. 47 times. Today's specific instance is my hs best friend who lives in Florida and I haven't seen in a good 5-6 years. Her and her bf drove from FL to OH to see family for this past week and she contacted me to say she'd really like to stop and see me and meet my FI on her way to or from her parents' house (I live about 2 hrs away kind of "on the way" to Florida). I said great! She suggested on the way up. And up until the day of, that was the plan. And then she decided that since they'd be getting in late maybe it'd be better if they came on their way back to florida so we'd have more time. She suggested wednesday (yesterday). I said okay and I asked my FI to schedule his poker night (at our house) to tonight so it wouldn't conflict. Then she changed it from yesterday until today at noon. I said okay since they were only stopping for a few hours, but that FI had a poker game at 7. She said they'd be gone long before then. Then at 11am she tells me that they'll be here at 2. Then at 12:30pm she tells me they'll be here at 4. Now its almost 3pm and they haven't left her mom's house yet (again... 2 hrs away). Seriously? YOU wanted to see ME. Make a plan and stick with it. /vent. 

    Get if off your chest girls.... what is annoying you today?

    I'm sorry!  That would drive me crazy.  I'm a very scheduled person and it does bother me when my schedule is disrupted.  Now I don't mind if a friend calls to change a meeting time, but if the friend was going back and forth with a different time, I would get really annoyed.  Are you going to talk to her about how you feel when she comes over?

    That would drive me crazy too.

    I am annoyed that I bought pepper jack cheezits instead of cheddar jack. I'm also annoyed with a coworker, who totally sandbagged me with an incident that came up last night. I'm annoyed that this afternoon seems to be dragging on an on and I'm not being very productive today.

    lol she just texted that she's on her way (finally). Will put her here about 5. I will not tell her I'm annoyed because its the first time I've seen her in 5 years and I might not see her again for the next 5 years. I don't really see the point in souring what (little) time we do have to catch up. If she was someone I planned to see on any kind of regular basis I would say something.

    Boyfriend who claims to be a homebody is dragging me out to socialize with relatively big groups five weekends in a row, yet he complains if I say "hey, we should go out for lunch because I accomplished (insert accomplishment here)!"  Then he jumps my case about not having enough friends locally, and that I only go out because he does?  Maybe, just maybe, if I weren't forced to hang out with a dozen people every weekend, I (a major introvert) might have the motivation to hang out with my local friends.  As it is, I write during the week while he's at work (which prevents me from going out during the week - he works until 10 every night), then he plans something every single weekend.  If I suggest something to do with our mutual friends, he comes up with some flimsy excuse as to why it won't work - "naw, the laser tag place will be filled with kids" (it rarely has more than one car in the parking lot) "No, we'd need to find a better place for that" "Like here?" "Well, it's warm, so no." ... "No, we went out last night, I want to stay home."  WTF?

    I'm annoyed that FI's RSVP-challened guy friends have 1. RSVD'd 10 days late, and 2. added people to their RSVP that were not actually invited, also 3. one told us today that their fiance that was originally not coming when he RSVD'd 4 weeks ago is now coming. I bet they are going to realize how horrible they are being when they get all their RSVP's in about a month for THEIR wedding. I already made escort cards for everyone, including the couple hold outs we hadn't heard from, thinking that I had all my bases covered. I'm going to passive aggressively fill in the uninvited people by hand, since it's too late to do the Moo card printing. WTF is wrong with people??

    @Miss Snowflake: Oh, you guys aren't melting that much compared to here!  We've had 19 straight 100+ degree days here in Dallas!  Although I think it only made it to 98 or 99 today so no more streak.

    @CorgiTales: OMG!!  I think you and I are the same generation and I Can't Stand when people can't make plans and stick to them.  I'm a very detail oriented, organized person but when everyone around you won't commit to things - I just end up stuck and I hate it.  Our generation is so wishy-washy.

    One of my friends was supposed to come visit me when I was out in CA.  I was there for 10 months and she could never just pick a date that she was coming.  Then she finally said she was coming for my last weekend out there and we were going to go explore the national park together.  The weekend beforehand, she backed out.

    My friends were the same way with my bachelorette party.  Wouldn't make decisions and stick with them and it drove my sister/MOH (who is just like me) crazy!  Then they changed their getting home plans the night before and left my sister and I stranded for 6 hours!  Arrggg!!

    totally agree with the time... it's DRAGGING!!!

    what's annoying me? hmmmmm... phone wouldn't stop ringing, so I didn't get to call my FI back before he want in to work. boo

    gotta get my daughter from FI's parents before getting my son from the babysitter (she's such a manipulative little thing... and only 4.)

    it's FREEEEZING IN THIS COMPUTER ROOM!!!!  Frosty would be VERY happy in here.  Me? No so much.

    co-worker is a lazy jerk who doesn't want to work on the computers; I can't because I've running another co-worker's shift who is out due to knee surgery.

    Corgi:  My husbands friends are totally like what you are talking about.

    Everything is planned last minute, and if you try to plan something in advance, you have no idea how many people to expect.

    I like to RSVP, I like to be on time (early even), and I would never consider just not showing up to something.

    My insurance raised my rate again!! And I didn't even do anything, and I turn 25 this month! I called them and told them I was expecting it to go down, and they said there's nothing they can do. I pay $185 a month on my 6 year old HYUNDAI. It's really California's fault, I hate living in this state! I make what I thought was a lot of money until California has managed to squander every last dime from my paychecks!@!

    We're supposed to go down to Carmel for a weekend away together this weekend, and my fiance emailed me to say he's getting sick.  Nooo - bad timing!

    Also, my arm hurts.  I think it's just tension/soreness from lifting weights, but it is annoying me.  Want massage.

    Oh boy... this is a great thread

    I CANNOT STOP EATING TODAY!!  Okay so I have a guilty confession... when I am in my car, out in the field for work, I occasionally secretly eat and throw away the evidence before anyone else can see what I have consumed!! 

    I am also annoyed that my mother, who did not want to throw an Engagement Party for FI and I- and told us this the day we got engaged is hijacking the crap out of the party that FI and I are SUPPOSED to be hosting.  She is calling all of my friends and writing on their facebook walls to ask if they are coming!!!  The invitations say to RSVP to the bride!!  Not one person from MY family called ME!! ERGH!!

     

    I feel so much better now...

    I'm annoyed at the CEO of my company who sent out an agenda with timelines for a weekend event, then proceeded to arrive 1 hour late to the event. Then he spent all day complaining about getting a speeding ticket as he was driving up to the event. Well, if he was on time to begin with, then he wouldn't need to be speeding!!!

    I'm annoyed that my FI who is the one who wanted a wedding (I would've been okay with Vegas or a courthouse) and agreed to an Adults Only reception is telling kids of his Groomsman that although they are not invited, he won't kick them out if they show up. He tells them this in front of me, immediately after I just told them it was an Adults Only reception. I had to tell them because they asked if they were invited to the wedding.

    I am planning a wedding I don't want and have already paid cash on more than half the budget. My FI has contributed $100. Grrrr....

    Um...do you want to be friends because seriously this is my BIGGEST pet peeve. My friends, some of my family, my fiance, they like to do things spontaneously and it drives me insane. I am a planner. I want to know where to show up, at what time etc. and I want to know days in advance, not 5 minutes before. Making last minute plans stresses me out and makes me super anxious. Fiance makes fun of me for it sometimes but he tries to be accomodating.

    But I just love how our friends get mad at us sometimes when they call on a friday night at 8pm and say "hey so lets go do this" and it's like either we're already out doing something else, or we're in for the night and not planning on doing anything else. Now if they had called/texted/facebook-ed etc the night before maybe we wouldve been able to. ahh!! we're adults people! make plans!

    @mjchexum: I'll take your friends who are spontaneous over my friends who won't commit to anything.

    I offered $5 Aerosmith tickets to friends for a concert in 3 weeks. No one wanted to come. On the day of the concert, I left work early and everyone was asking how come they weren't invited. Ugh...I did invite you, you were just being your non-committal self, always looking for something better to come along. Well guess what?! Nothing better has come along for you. And while I'm enjoying my $5 concert, you are sitting home alone still waiting. Welcome to your sorry life. Ugh!!!

I have one friend in particular who is always on my case that we don't hang out enough, but when I call him on a wednesday to hang out on a thursday he's all like "umm..I don't know..I might do this that or the other.." so then Friday rolls around, haven't heard from him until about 10pm friday night I get a random text that says "come up to so and so's house or random bar!" and here I am already in my pj's sitting on fiance's couch watching a movie and so when I text back "yeah no thanks" he gets so mad and hurt. it's lame.

    Today is FI's birthday and he's acting like a class A jerk for some reason. He mentioned lunch, then we got side tracked picking wedding music, then he mentioned it again half an hour later (he wanted to go pick something up) and I said just a sec, I'm just looking at something online, so he went to the bathroom. When he got back I grabbed the take out menu to decide and he got all mad at me saying now there wasn't enough time to order and he'd just pick it up on his way into the city (he has a meeting in an hour). ummm what?! So the two minutes between you asking and me getting the menu means I don't get to have lunch with you... So I tried to tell him to calm down and be reasonable, I was deciding then and now and it really wasn't a big deal and he said I knew when and where his meeting was (I did know when, but not where) so I should have known I needed to decide a while ago rather than just now so forget it. Oooookay senor cranky pants, how about you leave the house so I don't yell at you on your birthday....

    Jeez louise and he tells me I have mood swings. Ya because now I really want to do something nice for you for your birthday. I hate it when he gets all weird and moody, it's just not like him and he doesn't ever admit he's wrong. Oh and he left for his meeting without kissing me goodbye. That doesn't happen in our house. What a weirdo. It's a freaking burrito, chill the heck out.

    @mjchexum: sure! let's plan something! ;) 

    @baldor1: I really think the two go hand in hand. I hate that "well I might be doing x, y, or z." um... make a f'ing decision! Especially when THEY ask ME to do something and then i try to set a date and they can't commit to one. 

    Similar thing happened last night btw. 5pm I get a text: Last minute rock band party at our house 7pm!!!  

    Um... chicken is marinating and if I was going to go out tonight I would've done laundry earlier. Sorry. But I'm boring for not going, right? Argh....

     

    Today's annoyance is with the court system though actually. I'm a lawyer, but I'm pretty new (2 years in) and my boss is always out of town. So when I have to do something I don't know to do you would THINK I could call the clerk's office and ask right? Especially when its a matter of filing forms. But when I call and 3 different people give me three different instructions....... wtf?!?

    Today I'm annoyed that someone I've never met chose to take their frustration out on me via email this morning. Your day is just not going to get off on a good foot when you wake up to a cranky email. I'm sorry we can't offer services to your area, truly, I am. But we are underfunded and understaffed and until we get some more dough I really can't give you what you want.  Maybe next time try sending me a productive email, rather than a snarky one.

    Today I am annoyed that -

    I had to get up early so that I can take the puppy to the vet (I think she has a UTI)

    People can't be bothered to check the emails I've been sending out since JUNE asking for them to come in and be measured for their costumes, so I show up at rehearsal last night and WTF - there's 5 people I've never seen before!  So now I have to cram them into an already overloaded schedule and because they're all undergrads my entire day has gone wonky!

    Today I am annoyed that-

    My professors knows that his seminar class is made up exclusivly of 12 seniors and juniors. Seniors and Juniors usually take harder classes than freshmen, harder classes mean more work, right? Yeah, he doesn't get that. Over the three days between class and mindnight Monday he has assigned over 300 pages to read and summerize. 300 pages of tiny print and big words on epistemology and the history of anthropological theory. Somehow I'm expected to fit this into 13 hours of class (Friday and Monday), 4 hours of church, 5 hours of freshmen outreach stuff that I had to attend, and all the other homework I've had (hello classical Greek). I need to fit sleep in there somewhere and emailing a review due two weeks ago (gah).

    I <3 this thread.

    Today I'm annoyed that I had to cancel three venue appointments to come into work because I was needed, yet - there's no one here! I'm literally sitting in an empty office, reading Weddingbee, because the people that need me didn't bother to come in early or actually answer their phones to tell me when to come in. I hate my job :(

    I'm only supposed to work part time, but everytime I make an important appointment, I'm suddenly 'needed' at work. My dad keeps telling me I have a year to plan, but how am I ever going to make appointments when they can be cancelled at my boss's whim? I'm kind of afraid that I'm going to cancel too often and people won't want to work with me (and I don't even blame them).

    I completey annoyed that Michael C. Hall didn't win best actor at the Emmy's last night for his roll as Dexter.  Also annoying is that Glee didn't win as best comedy...come on...Modern Family...really?  My last annoyance is that i have never heard of this mini series Temple Grandin until last night.....damnit i'm out of the loop sometimes.

    Oh, also very annoying is the fact that Kate Gosselin is still around....and why is she at the Emmy's?  Her 15 minutes was over a long time ago.

    @Kanebaby: Also annoyed about MCH. He never got anything for his role in Six Feet Under either. He's brilliant. But the Emmys always massively screw up, imo. I should be used to it but I'm not!
