Work asked me to cancel my annual leave to come in today to be here for the new starter so they weren't on their own. Except they are starting next week and now I'm sat in the office alone all day when I should be at home and I didn't even bring headphones because I thought I'd be busy training all day. I'm in a huge strop about it Grin

Pissing Mondays. Anyone else already been annoyed?

I've got to go to work. It's Monday. It's raining. Other than that it's dandy Grin

GinIsMySaviour · 16/11/2020 09:49

Computer decided to update itself this morning. 48% updated an and hour in. Desperately trying to work on my phone and iPad (clearly failing as an on mumsnet)

Also, DCat is on a diet ... I’m doing IF to lose a bit of weight too. Weighed us both this morning: DCat lost more than me last week

Grrrrrrrrrrrr Mondays.

GinIsMySaviour · 16/11/2020 09:50

Oh and typos (see above!)

TartanDMs · 16/11/2020 09:51

The WiFi signal is playing up which is fine for my phone, I can use the 4g, but for WFH it's not so good. I am supposed to be able to tether my work phone to my laptop but for some reason it isn't connecting.

The only slice of bread in the house is mouldy.

I have a cold despite seeing virtually nobody.

I missed a delivery while I was in the shower.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 16/11/2020 09:53

The dining room smells of cat wee.

TheCanyon · 16/11/2020 09:55

I have an important zoom call later, and raging blepharitis. Might not be a problem though seen as I just knocked a mug of coffee on my laptop. Happy Monday

GwenCooper81 · 16/11/2020 10:00

Dd1 has been a awful shouty hormonal stroppy madam this morning..
Her mum has been the same BlushShock

Mn is driving me barmy. The ads are so ridiculously long to load that my page jumps and I click on some random thread EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's making me reduce my Mn habit drastically though.

Back at work after a long period of illness with covid. Quite looking forward to that I think. until the fuck wit I'm working with grates on me after 10 minutes!

WineCake for us all.

Ddog pissed on my thankfully small washable lounge rug this morning which I've washed and cleaned up but not before she ate her breakfast all over the friggin downstairs of the house.
Little crunchy bits here there and everywhere Hmm

Dd2 couldn't find her script for her play cue running around like a loon trying to find it.
Found it on her bedroom desk after asking her to check there a few times Confused

Road resurfacing right outside the house and it's been noisy since about 6 am

FireUnderpants · 16/11/2020 10:03

I'm fed up of insurance companies and buildrs.

We've had no kitchen for a month. There's no ceiling so no lights. No cupboards so there's food/kitchenware everywhere.

Daily phonecalls, no one rings back knowing anything, emails that are promised are never received. No date for work as the insurance and builders are haggling over price, but no one can tell us what exactly the insurance are agreeing to replace. I was promised a call today. I phoned instead of waiting, and the person I need is not in today. Wtf.

FoxtrotOscarPoppet · 16/11/2020 10:05

I’ve also cancelled my leave to work today. Wish I hadn’t bothered. Sodding IT systems keep crashing and wiping everything. It’s all going belly up this morning and I’ve had a tit-full already.
Up in the night with 3y/o DD who wasn’t feeling well and am generally uncomfortable with ligament type pains as 20 weeks pregnant.

DH is on a day off and moping around whining that he’s tired....... Hmm I expect he’ll break out the dressing gown of doom at some point today and start shuffling around feeling sorry for himself.

Could someone somewhere have a glass of wine for me later please?

YellowEllis · 16/11/2020 10:22

Well some of these made me feel better about my own shitty Monday Grin Sympathies all. I would say the week can only get better but it's 2020 so that would be a total fucking lie.

Thank you @YellowEllis Grin

Mydogisagentleman · 16/11/2020 12:07

I’m counting down until I begin my new job. I’ve got 17 days till I finish then a day off before starting my next job.
My car won’t change into a gear higher than second(automatic) and the lovely mechanic can’t see to it till next Wednesday

OrangeGinLemonFanta · 16/11/2020 12:13

DH started back at work on Saturday after being off for a month with Covid. Yesterday DS developed a horrible cough and has a temp of 38 so we are right back to self isolating again.

TurkeyTrot · 16/11/2020 12:18

My best, most lovely, most capable member of staff has just quit :(

FortunesFavour · 16/11/2020 12:23

I just can’t motivate myself. I’ve got a million emails and a report overdue but I can no longer be bothered. I am both very stressed and very bored at the same time. Also in denial - rather than tackling this issue which will soon get me in trouble, I prefer to muck around on mumsnet making wisecracks.

Justmuddlingalong · 16/11/2020 12:24

The person in front of me in the shop, let someone go in front of them. Which means that me and the three folk behind me had longer to wait. The queue interloper then fannied about with their packing and paying. Is it too early for gin?

HerdyGerdy · 16/11/2020 13:04

My boss is a twat and I’m horrified that they’ve climbed as high as they have in the halls of power he’s painfully thick but talks a good game

confusedofengland · 16/11/2020 14:05

Vodafone cutting me off after 35 minutes on hold & not talking to a human. Also making it very difficult for me to switch from one of their plans to another Hmm

Everybody needing a piece of me so there is not enough left for myself. I can't keep doing this, but I have to Sad

TheySeeHerRowling · 16/11/2020 14:05

Effing Scan and Go handsets not working in Asda yet again grr

GinIsMySaviour · 16/11/2020 18:44

Hope everyone’s day got better. DCat is still smug about his diet ... and I would already have finished work if my computer hadn’t been a twat... BUT it’s almost time for gin and Netflix....

redkenso · 16/11/2020 18:50

After not wanting to go to work I went to have a shower to get ready and a big fuck off spider ran along the bath, fell in the bath and landed on my foot. The shower screen jammed as I rushed to get out. The fucker died, not my fault, if you will fall into hot water.
I got home now and found I have no wine.

Tangledtresses · 16/11/2020 18:55

We also have a spider which has just had baby spiders above the kitchen table, she ate a fly whilst I ate dinner ☹️ I don't have the heart to hoover up the eggs
