To Fridays-eve text from Sd22 Feral Forger to DH. Shes still a b$tch. Sent him a "so?" when he texted her back about a band. Anytime I hear about her texting, my ptsd flares up. Nothing bad about me and no further "your not a dad your just the sperm donor", so thats positive. I just hope it sticks this time.

To my fatigue, and stomach not feeling good. 

Advance child tax credit, which makes it so we have a lower refund. 

EFF off to SS19 still being here.  Fingers crossed and praying to the snow queen to let it be a clear weekend so he can go back to campus on Sunday.

EFF off to having to wear a tshirt and shorts to bed because SS19 is still here.

EFF off to not feeling comfortable having sexy time because SS19 is still here.

Can I just say EFF OFF to SS19?  LOL

F off to elitists who brag about multiple Master's degrees and PhDs while they can't seem to find the unmute button. 

I work with people who are in their 50s and have spent their entire adult lives in school gathering initials behind their names. They never let anyone forget how much education they have, yet, they can't seem to find the unmute function during meetings. We've been working from home for two years and have had all of our meetings on TEAMS and despite spending so much time on their education, they can't seem to figure out how to unmute. 

On a funnier note, one guy has a parrot. During a meeting, it flew across the room and splatted shit during flight and I had to fake a coughing fit and mute myself and close my lens because I was in hysterics. Of course the rest of us were texting one another about it and the guy who had the bird seemingly had no clue that his bird shit while he was speaking. I laughed so hard that it was one of those kinds of laughs that no sound was coming out. 

To girl scout cookies.  I don't want to eat them (SO and I have cut way back on sweets) but they come around like the Mafia each year for their collections.  Always some friend or neighbors kid so it's awkward to decline.  

I should toss them but I hate wasting like that.   Plus I kinda want to eat them haha.

To snow, ice, and cold temps.  

And to all the groundhogs around here that predicted 6 more weeks of winter....not the actually groundhog just what he represents.

EFF off to one more week of insanity at work. There's multiple HUGE reporting deadlines and one of the Insitutional wide items has incredibly long FAQs, Matrix's and multiple emails that go out and I STILL cannot find the answer to a basic questiion:  Do I have to report on X project that starts 4/1/22?  Easy right?  NOPE.  And some of the information contradicts the other information in another source.  Oh, and you DON'T want me to go to my assigned contact to ask questions, really?  Well too bad because I just did again and so far, no answer after two days.  Guess I'm not reporting it.  And that's not even my main job - which is full with deadlines and I'm right now waiting on everyone else because I've done my part and I'm dreading that everyone will be emailing me at one time next week.

This weekend is DH making dinner tonight, me hopefully going to dinner with a friend on Saturday and then me doing nothing on Sunday. YSDalmost16 is here again over the weekend, but no biggie - she never comes out of her room.

EFF off to BM for constantly shoving SD12 at us when she wants to party and do whatever the hell she does, and then expects us to "ask" her if she is availble to take SD on unscheduled days...

EFF off to my stomach, heart, and mind. My stomach has been messed up all week due to stress and not eating right. My heart seems to like to act up due to the insane ammounts of stress that I am under. And my mind just won't slow down, therefore I cannot get a decent night of sleep.

Eff off to my SD12 for giving me attitude this morning because DD13 didnt "wake her up" for school

Eff off to covid all around. I hope that you get some relief soon Aniki <3

Eff off  to my staff.  And I feel terrible for saying that. I love each and every one of  them, but dammit I'm their boss, not their bestie.

When I say that I'm close to getting an off-cycle raise, and a substantial one, for you, that means I spent hours writing justifications and documenting the marketplace and having discussions with my boss and the money people. The correct response to me is THANK YOU. Not, well so and so makes more, or our classification system is stupid. While that is correct, a little appreciation is a better approach than a bitchfest.

I am tired.

Eff off to whatever it is that is making my poor daughter miserable!  She's been sick for a week now.  I kinda suspect Covid but kinda don't know.  I had her tested and it was negative so I don't know.  I just know she's missed four and a half days of school and I dread all the makeup work she'll have to do.  She's been working on it some but it seems like they love to pile on the work in high school.  

Eff off diarrhea. Princess Popcorn has the dreaded mess and I had to bathe her today.  She just loved that.  Note sarcasm.  She kept on biting me but luckily she wasn't trying to really hurt me or she would've taken off a finger.  Eff off to the vet who couldn't see her.  Oh well I'm not that impressed with them anyway.  Poor Queen Squeaky had diarrhea and I'm flashing back to what happened to her.  I gave Popcorn a probiotic and cut down on the veggies.  Hoping that helps or she'll have to see the vet.  I need to find a new vet.  

Eff off to the cold weather and annoying traffic.  Go home people.
