What pissed you off today?

[Curious_in_Cali]

Hours of dealing with medical insurance referrals/approvals/negotiations. I seriously can't handle any more on hold muzac!

 

[wicked woman]

Almost everything. I've got a headache because I'm so frustrated.


*no not that kind of frustrated *

 

[HeyAll]

Not pissed off, but I was pretty upset finding out that the ABC show Missing was not renewed for a new season. Greats show.

Hugs and hopes for a better day tomorrow.

Some things are going on with the Short People, that have reached a point where I decided I needed to remind their father that I'm still their mother - I kind of deserve to find out things through him, instead of the children, and it would be nice of them to remember that we all love the kids and want the best for them; this can be a team of three effort.

Apparently when I gave him primary custody 8 years ago, it meant I gave up any rights to anything outside of 48 hours of unsupervised visitation every two weeks/up to one week of unsupervised visitation per year. They have no obligation or interest in my expertise, input, opinion, advice or philosophies regarding the children's lives.

All I was trying to do was give them more stability than I could offer...

Noooooo, not the dreaded hold music. I am sure they use bad music on purpose to try to make you hang up.

Realizing how much slack I've been picking up for someone else. Must be nice to do a third of the work and get half the goddamn pay for it.

 

[Scentofawoman]

Marriage.

Yep.

 

[Cattypuss]

Period pain (this too shall pass) and Himself ringing from his office to tell me how nervous he feels about this afternoon's meetings with visiting greybeards as he feels he will be exposed as a fraud. Most of us, if we do anything at all intellectually challenging as a job, spend much of our time fearing that people will soon realise how inadequate we are. Occupational hazard. But when he feels it he REALLY feels it - it paralyses him - and, while I am glad to do it for him, it breaks my heart to have to scrape my lovely, highly intelligent, articulate, learned, hard-working man off the floor.

You are SO right! It was SUCH a strain to NOT hang up...and I eventually got what I needed, but even now I am cringing at the idea of having to call them back. Slimy, sneaky & totally lametastic!

 

[gypsy*seer]

"Full-freakin'-moon-is-a-comin'" people!

(and NOT the good kind!)

 

[Curious_in_Cali]

Somehow being surprised by predictable people doing predictable things and then getting bothered by it again. *facepalm*

 

[laceNlthrgrrl]

Effers at work who seem determined to take everything said the wrong way. Don't bring me down, it's date night!

You're presuming, dear lady, that this ... woman, not mother, was thinking. I dispute that presumption.

RIP Ray Bradbury. Your words will live on long, long after *we* go.

My sis' lack of appreciation after I spent 4 hours doing her deck...saving her 100s of dollars. She was clearly underwhelmed....even tho every square inch, the rails, steps...EVERYTHING was bright white when I finished.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hadn't heard this.

I looked at my Visa bill and got mad at myself--I'm absolutely horrible with money and budgeting. Ugh.

Being told that I should have bought someone a cake for their birthday a few days ago instead of the (more expensive) muffins they had spent the past week raving about.

Silly me, since every time I have bought them a cake in the past, they have made a point of telling me what was wrong with the cake.

Apparently paying attention to what they say and prefer is wrong when it flies in the face of traditions which leave them disappointed.

*sigh*

A capricious printer.

Have you threatened to replace it with a younger, better model? Mine magically behaves when I do that.

Truth be told this printer is an old OLD dinosaur In techy years, so I doubt it would have heard the threats even if I tried annnnd was successfully convincing in any way... but that said, it really did feel like magic to see that test page FINALY print after 3 hours of futzing with it. That would have been worth it on its own, but it also made the owner of the printer delighted and that ended up really made my day.
