Example 1:
I'm looking for a different job. I have been working on finding a new job in my spare time for the last year and it has been getting really frustrating. Job searches are meant for the short term because they are stressful and are not healthy to be participating in for long periods of time. It's gotten so hectic that yesterday I went to work, got out early to go to Gordon Food Service, stopped to make a return phone call that turned into a phone interview. And then drove to a regular interview I had scheduled for that day. Ended up having to put off stopping at Gordon's until after the interviews. Also had a phone interview last week and a skills test. I just feel like I have been talking about my work experience and waiting to have judgement issued on me a whole heck of a lot lately.
Example 2:
My boyfriend is going to be taking over custody of his two kids in about August. He has a just turned 12 year old son and a soon to be 13 year old daughter. Now we've been told that after you turn in the paperwork for custody it will take about two months before you can get a meeting on it because of the back log. Well the kids grandma has not turned in the custody paperwork yet. Now she wants us to have them as soon as possible, and the plan was the end of July, but now its almost the end of June and the paperwork hasn't been turned in yet. So last weekend I had to put my foot down and say we can't have the kids start living with us until the paperwork is turned in and everything's cleared for my boyfriend to have full custody. So hopefully it'll all be done by September when school starts.
Example 3:
We only had until June 23rd to enroll the kids in schools. Since I'm quite a bit Type A I have gotten all the documents online and printed them out. Made my boyfriend call the school to see what we'd need, had the grandma send us the kids birth certificates, and set up a time with the school to enroll the kids. That time was last Friday. My boyfriend called on tuesday to set up the time and make sure the lady would be there. We get to the school on Friday and guess what? She has left for the day but we can leave the paper work and have somethings photocopied and hopefully everything will work out. I was so mad. My boyfriend did call on Monday and talked to the lady and she said we had all the right paperwork and that everythings set for the kids to be enrolled. But still how frustrating is that.
Example 4:
My boyfriend and his friend/neighbor are all set on us moving into his half a house at the end of July. They have a list of things that need to be done and continually talk about it. But they never do anything on the lists. And they keep coming up with excuses. As soon as his sister moves out. As soon as all her cats are gone. She'll move out in the middle of June. She'll move out at the end of June. She'll move out the first week in July. Are you kidding me! The guy had the nerve to stop by the other day to tell me that he is planning on painting sometime this week and he hopes that eases my concerns. I just gave him a look because I have nothing nice to say to that. Oh your still talking about doing something at some point in time. While time to do things is just getting sucked on by but why don't you just hang out and talk about it all the time and that should ease my concerns because I believe that all this talk may lead to something, someday, sometime in the future. GRRRRR!!!
Then the guys, being guys so they must have small brains or something, think it would be a good idea for the 12year old boy to have a bedroom in the basement. The basement!! Our half of the house is on the second floor. Why the heck would his room be in the basement? I'm fighting them on this one because I don't care what he says I know he doesn't want his room in the basement. When he asked about his room the first thing he said was he wants it by the bathroom. There's no bathrom in the basement. He'd be no where near a bathroom. Poor thing. So yeah that's not happening. I guess their concern is where they are planning on building a room for him there is no electrical outlet. This is the first time I'm hearing about this and it is too freaking late. They're just going to have to figure something out. The basement. Are you freaking kidding me.
Well that's about it. Sorry to rant and run but I'm sure some soon to be catastrophe must be headed my way because that's the way that things have been going lately. If I have a chance I'm going to try and do a grateful post this weekend to make up for all my complaining.
What is currently driving you crazy?
