I have quite a large number of payroll forms that need to be in and perfect by Monday. Some are complete one-offs with baffling permutations I don't know how to deal with and a couple are probably going to be invoices that don't fit the mould of the systems run by the one person I have to get them to. This person has called us "serial offenders" (ok, outing self potentially) and there is nobody else responsible for processing or bothered enough to do anything about it on our behalf. Paranoid about any tiny error or phantom thing that means a non-perfect submission. Result is that a small sample of the people whose forms I have won't get paid (possibly won't get paid AGAIN) but will have to wait for the end of the month to find out which and start the fun campaigning against that seemingly throwaway decision. How can you be Payroll and not recognise the contractual agreement to pay people?! Hate this person on many levels. But always have to be jovial as making it worse will make it all the worse for everyone.

My toddler has reached the age where hurting me and causing localised devastation is hilarious to him, but is too young to understand why he should stop.
Yesterday he poked me in the eye and burst a blood vessel. Hahahahahaha.

Why do some folk always have to change arrangements (made previously by more than one person) to suit themselves? Is it just bloody mindedness? Does the thought of someone else organising something (pleasant) fill them with such horror that they have to tweak the details in order to enjoy it? You've got six people looking forward to something and then one person decides that things should be done differently... always the same person!

Control freakery makes me want to scream.

My not so 'd' h has picked out all the cookie dough from my ben and merrier cookie dough ice cream...now it's just vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips in it [anger]

I want to stab him in the eye with a rusty fork.

DH - I moved country for you, gave up a really good career from a misguided sense of loyalty to 'family,' nearly broke myself raising toddler and 5 month old in a new country without support and now when I ask for an hour to myself to prepare for an interview, you say "maybe" because the baby screams at you. There's a reason for that, you self-centred twat, and a reason that I think i might need to be financially independent in the future. And sigh. . .

NorahBone · 07/03/2015 19:13

Flowers Dovahkin hope your interview goes/ went well.

ThatsHandy · 07/03/2015 19:22

Oooh usual what have you done? Grin

MissAMinton · 07/03/2015 19:34

I was inwardly shouting 'oh fucking boo boo boo' when my Mil was telling me how SILs labour was unusually protracted and painful, much worse than any other woman in the world ever. Amazingly the newborn also wakes at night to be fed! Who would have fucking believed it!

MissAMinton · 07/03/2015 19:35

I am a horrible cow as SIL is very nice in fact

msgrinch · 07/03/2015 19:58

in my head "you're 18 and only work Saturdays. Don't you dare boss me about, complain you're tired and generally act like a stroppy cow. Oh and I heard you slagging me off to other colleague, when you grow up you'll realise what tired is!"

AND you still owe me money! God I hate that silly little girl spoilt princess

AbiBranning · 07/03/2015 20:07

As work decided to let me work til lunchtime on Tues, before telling me they would only pay me til lunchtime on Mon, I have had many, many (in my head) Screaming rants at my Team Leader. She's ignoring me completely, so no idea why she decided this, so I'll probably keeping bitching about her for the foreseeable.

LadyDeadpool · 07/03/2015 20:08

I think I'm probably the recipient of a few people's complaints this week Blush I have P.M.T and am switching anti-depressant so on a lower dose than normal and I am fucking unbearable I don't even want to be in my own company.

ahbollocks · 07/03/2015 20:08

I cannot be fucking bothered seeing miss perfect tomorrow. How is anyone so perfectly perfect?! You make me feel like a goblin faced cowbag you nice nice girl.

jeanmiguelfangio · 07/03/2015 20:12

Why on gods green Earth did I have to go to another bloody country to get the diagnosis, medication and help for my 2 year old when the drs who have seen her before could have done this and prevented it?
Jean, pissed off in France, 2 days after we were supposed to come home, with child in hospital!
Also lady at hotel, it's not because she is too young to travel ffs

ahbollocks · 07/03/2015 20:13

For all the parents, particularly fathers who refuse to believe their kids have additional needs or don't want them labelled, you all ought to be faced with the stark truth. Your ignorant arse behaviour is less than helpful to your partner and particularly to your child(ren)

Look and learn, that behaviour is part of your dc's disability and as you are the parent it's up to you to find out everything about the condition and any co-morbids and advocate for your dc at preschool, at school, with family and in any other setting and particularly to create their homelife so it's as supportive as possible, a place where they can relax.

It is your job to know what behaviour is caused by which condition(s) and how to provide interventions to help and support.

It is not your job to be a useless obstructive arse Angry

I got buggy rage and might have rammed a man in the back of the legs for stopping infront of me for the FOURTH time in a row.

Bitches of the year are the women who ruined my chance of returning to my old career (I was very ill and stepped down to take a less stressful job, hoping to return to my old career once I was better. Now I am stuck in the less stressful job unfortunately MORE stressed because it's a lot less money.) I don't think these women even feel bad about it.

I saw one of them (one of my managers) for the first time since the meeting where she told me I wasn't going back to my old job; and she said, ''how's life with you'' - I really wanted to scream at her but I just took a deep breath and said ''it's all fine''...

Salmotrutta · 07/03/2015 23:23

Latara - I understand. I really do.

Have been shafted myself. Some people are just very good at manipulating.
