Got passed over on a job today because I don't have full weekend availability(dh works both days most weekends, can't get a sitter for weekends and have to rely on my mom so the best I can do is few hours a couple of Saturday's a month. The company wants someone who's free both days every weekend), even though I specifically asked during my phone interview if the job was Mon-Fri day shifts and was assured that it was. Why waste everyone's time when you knew my availability doesn't suit what you're looking for?

Mom thinking that cooking indoors on a hot humid day was going to be fine. She keeps doing this at least 2x per week. Can't wait for the temperatures to drop fast enough-Fall, hello.

lol, my 85 year old mother does that all the time. Then opens the windows because it's hot in the house. And lets out all the air conditioning.

Biggest pet peeve. DD was on and on about baking cupcakes last week.
Dear child, Satan is generous enough to scorch me outside, I will not tolerate it inside my house.

In my house, he's in control of the environment. I never have to touch a window or an air conditioner knob: I only have to complain. I gladly give up all my rights for voice command lol.

I just ordered some navy blue velvet from India through Amazon.ca marketplace...I have a fabric store literally a block away from me, and it's a huge Len's Mill, and they had everything else but. The next closest fabric store is 1 hr away. It's like sewing is a dying art and you have to order direct from the third world. I am amazed at how disconnected we are becoming from making things.

2016- YOU CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!!!!

DH was laid off from his overseas jog with no warning.

The new job he had went bankrupt again with no warning and he may not be paid for the last month he put in.

I found out I need 2 fillings and a wisdom tooth pulled and we have no benefits.

i had to have my cat put to sleep

some jerk vandalized our tractor during the night, smashing out the window which will cost too much to replace with insurance. So we will have to find the money somewhere.

now we are playing the waiting game to see if DH has esophaguial cancer. He has a grapefruit sized mass in his esophagus and we are reduced to blending his food.

And there are still 4 months left to go..........

Wow that is a lot to take in, I send good thoughts your way for a cancer free diagnosis.

Too true. Disconnecting cables has become a thing of mine when all else does not work.

I had that happen twice in the last month - first two job interviews perfect - mentioned all through the interviews that I am on call on the weekends and usually work every other weekend. All during the interview they said we can work around it and they mostly needed M to F because students can't work it. Then they hire me, sign all papers saying weekend not available and then they schedule me on weekends only. So then they passed on me because I couldn't work on the weekend. I don't know if they don't read or don't listen during the interview.

i went to use my quaker fpcs, one item was $1.97 and the other was $2.97. cashier took off $1 for both initially, realized her mistake, then took off an additional $0.97 x2. i realized after paying that the other item is $1 more expensive, i told her and she told me to go to CS to fix it. i wait in line only for CS to tell me she can't do anything cause her till will be short a dollar, and to go back to the cashier. (the thing she said she could only do is refund the product, but what about my coupon??) i go back and after waiting another long few minutes and letting this steam in me, i realize i'm probably gonna have to do more waiting for a manager to come, cancel and redo the transaction, all for one dollar, that i just leave. gah!! i wouldn't have bought this product if not for the fpc! waste of time and a dollar.

heh i just needed to get this out i already profile cashiers when i price-match or use coupons. now i'm def going to an older cashier for fpcs, since they tend to take off tax too (i don't correct them if they don't include tax, oh well). the young ones are best for price matching. (i don't do a lot of both in one single transaction to avoid holding up lines or looking like an extreme couponer ._. can you tell i'm overly self-conscious.)
