^^^ I hate the laundry situation at college! At my school you better go down within 2 mins of your washer/dryer ending because people will take your stuff out and put it ontop of the washers which are covered in spilt detergent (not to mention there's a table where they're supposed to put them...). Is there a camera in your laundry room, because that could help them track who it was. It's ridiculous that someone would even consider taking your stuff

^^^ No, Jen there are no cameras. It's an old laundry hut - poorly lit with a floor that stays covered in water (heaven help if it rains b/c then it floods) and with machines that decide to cut off in the middle of a cycle which trips the breaker for all the other machines on that wall. It's horrible - they need to remodel, rewire, and get new machines.
***EDIT: Talked with student services and they asked if I called the police about it. WTF!!!!!!!! Seriously? I'm supposed to call the police because I had some bedding stolen out of a public (albeit on campus) laundry facility? That would have gone over real well - I would have been laughed at and nothing would have been done. Gah!!!!!!!!!! I hate this school!!!!!!

That's so frustrating And who would have called the police over college bedding? Some people just don't have common sense...

Not really a rant, but a Woe is Me...
I am busy sulking over my lack of friends in Memphis. I want to go to the Southern Women's show this weekend but can't find a single person to go with me. It sucks not having any friends down here.

This is me being more annoyed than anything. When I got accepted to grad school, my mom told me that I didn't need to take out loans because she had money in some sort of insurance account that could be used for that. So, for the year it was approx. $13,000 (I still don't completely understand what the account is). My mom still gets my taxes done and I asked her today when she was getting them done because I was wanting to know what my refund would be this year because I worked a ton last spring and summer, and some during the fall. Apparently, I'm not getting anything back and owe more than anything. This $13,000 was apparently in an account in my name and it's considered income and now taxes have to be paid on that. She said that my dad said he would pay the taxes that are owed on that - not like she could have expected me to pay that when I work 3.5 days per pay period. When I got upset about it (because I was expecting $$ back), she yelled at me and said something like, "Well, tell me now if you want me to keep digging the bottom of the barrel and putting money into this account!" My whole thing is - I'm 23 - she should have told me that this would have had an effect on taxes and such. And just let me know what she has in my name and everything. As much as I appreciate her helping to pay for my grad school, I can't wait to be done with school and be financially independent from her.
On top of that, according to the woman who my mom gets to do our taxes, my place of employment is apparently not taking out enough in taxes? Though it seems like enough to me. I'm extremely frustrated and now worrying about money and crap. I'm regretting buying my first Coach bag. Ugh.

Ok. I'm starting this one off with an apology because she did the right thing, just kinda pissed at the way she did it. I've had this obsession with Peacock for forever. I think its the most beautiful pattern ever made and would be fine if VB stopped with that one pattern. lol I found on the FB board someone selling a EEEUC peacock tote. I asked how much she wanted for it and I got her response this morning. I gave her my pp addy and told her I would take it. She then messaged me back with someone else asked about it before I did and she gave it to the other person, which was the right thing to do. I'm irked because she didn't tell me this on the front end. That started my bad VB day. I went to the sig store to get a jazzy clutch, and was hoping they would be putting the summer stuff out. No luck with the summer stuff, and the staff was a little snippy. I asked about a party and was told it was private, by invite only. WTF? Since when? I've always gotten stuff in the mail from them in the past, but the invitation or whatever wasn't totally necessary. So know I don't know whether I want to keep the PF clutch I got today, or hang on to it and take it back and exchange it for one in N&D. On the upside, I did get a quickstep wallet, and I think I'm in LOVE!!!

This may be petty, but it's still my rant! lol
Yesterday when I was at work, on the busiest day of the year so far since the weather was GORGEOUS, one of my friends from undergrad (who graduated last May & moved back home) texted me. She was in town and asked if my bf and I wanted to go with her and her bf to Cafe 210, which is a local bar that gets packed and it also has outdoor seating which is always packed on nice days. I was going to be way to tired to go anywhere so I texted her to tell her that and invite them to stop by our place. I never heard back from her. Instead, I got a phone call from a mutual friend who was basically trying to guilt me into going out with them because we don't see the other friend very often and that she's tired too (I'm sorry but her tired isn't the same - she only works - I work & do school...and working kills my feet and knees, which I have yet to find out what's wrong with them). She got all pissy with me about it and it's just really annoying. If the other friend had contacted me before coming into town, maybe I could have prepared myself to go out - I don't do well with last minute plans.

I am SO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW!!!! some of my roommates are looking for subleasers...who does my one roommate find to take her place but this guy that I HATE. he is unstable, a psychopath, he used to date one of my friends and was controlling, was physical towards her at one point, he's especially unstable when he gets drunk...he came to my birthday party and proceeded to run out into the street and try to get a car to hit him. and I have to live with this guy. I don't feel safe with him because he's completely unpredictable. but of course my roommate doesn't care how I feel, as long as she finds someone to take her place.

My MOH stepped out of my wedding last week and I was totally bummed. Now I'm getting mad about it because I feel she's acting like she never wanted to be in it in the first place. I've lost a lot of friends since graduating HS (due to different colleges, getting married, having kids, the typicall yreasons why people's lives change). I've always considered her a good friend which is why I asked her to be my MOH. I asked her about 5 months after getting engaged to be in the wedding. Three months later she tells me that she is stepping out. I have one other bridesmaid and the three of us looked at BM dresses a couple months ago and, I guess it's good they didn't order them yet. I'm really hurt and upset by her leaving the wedding. She said she was leaving because she's worried about her future (she's in grad school in social work and doesn't have a job yet which means no money and she doesn't know where she'll be in October when the wedding is). I understand not having money, but it's not like I was asking them to buy $200 dresses or have some crazy thing to do! Ahhhh!!! I really do not know what to do!!! I know this is kind of childish and HS, but I made a post on facebook that said "I've tried so had but I get nothing in return, I thought you were better than that"..kind of putting it towards the situation, and she had a post (that I'm assuming is towards mine) that said "two can play that game, the gloves are off!" Seriously?! This girl is so sweet and dear to everyone she knows. She's so caring and everything that I sort of don't understand why she doesn't want to be in the wedding, I truly feel there is something else going on as to why she doesn't want to be in the wedding. I really need to get over it and let it go I guess, but it's hard!

I'm annoyed with a co-worker who continually asks me to "work for" her on my Saturday off. I'm never able to because my Saturday's off are when I do a lot of homework I can't get done on my weekends working. It may be different if she ever asked to switch a shift with me but that's never the case. And until she does, I will continue to say no because while school is in, I can't handle an extra 8 hours of work. What I work now is enough - I can barely handle it!

Sarah-I have a coworker who has been doing that a lot lately. The first time she asked, she had something she "absolutely couldn't get out of". I might have worked for her, had she not been scheduled to work with someone that I can't stand..so in that case, I declined because I try to avoid working with this person as much as possible. :-P But last weekend, she texted me begging me to take her shift because she couldn't find a sitter for her kids. She kept saying how she was stuck and had absolutely no one to watch her kids...and that if I didn't take her shift, she would call off and they would call me anyway to have me come in. First of all, it's not my fault you don't have a sitter. That's not my responsibility. and second, I intentionally asked of the entire weekend so I could go home for Easter. since I asked for the day off on Saturday, they weren't going to call me to come in. I hate when coworkers try to make me feel guilty because I can't take their shift. there's a reason I make plans for days off...they're my days off!

My rant: Sweet & simple...wearing this damn immobilizing brace for my knee that's apparently had an unhealed fractured patella for like 3.5 years. I hobble around. I used one of the scooters at the grocery store today and felt like an old lady. With the brace on, I have trouble using the bathroom because the brace comes halfway up my thigh and therefore, with it over pants, my pants will barely go down. I just got it yesterday and already I feel defeated. I have no idea how long I have to wear it. I'll be getting a bone stimulator to help with healing, but who knows how long I'll be using that. Ugh.

Sarah, I can feel your pain. 3 years ago this coming August, my graceful self missed a step in my bff's parents back yard coming down from the pool and broke my foot. I had to wear one of those boots that won't allow your ankle to move. AND it was my right foot so it took me forever to go anywhere. I had to put the boot on to walk, get in my truck, take it off to drive, put it back on to get out of truck, get back in truck and take boot back off to drive. It drove me absolutley nuts! I hope you don't have to wear it for long!
