The Wednesday Gripe - 11/17/10

[Refugee 7]

Okay, let’s hear it. What’s your gripe today?

[Echosoftom 3]

The Media! Why do they have to harp on something until you're sick to death of hearing about it. Good grief! There's so many things going on in the world. But here we are going on and on and on about Prince William and his engagement. Okay, I'm happy for them but do we have to hear about it constantly 24/7 for the next few months?

I feel like crap but have to get Griffy ready to go to the hospital for his routine G/J tube change. Really wish I could just crawl back into bed for the morning...but is that ever an option?

I hate today. My Dad was taken away from us suddenly 4 years ago today.

Found out my late husband's daughter is trying to get ahold of his medical records with that phony death certificate. Dread to think what she's up to.

My gripe isn't much, but it's still one I don't really like, but gotta keep busy getting things ready for winterizing the house and putting some meat in freezer bags to put in the deep freeze, it's kinda cool today....my hands freeze when I do that!

Thankfully, I have no gripes in my personal life right now, just gratitude.

no complaints, i bought new LED xmas lites for outside and have them up. so today i took all the old lites to give them away. from mini to C7's and C9's with spare bulbs. they all work and i'm surprized that so many ppl came to get them and thank me. i was just gonna throw them away and thought, some ppl don't have them. was gonna give the working sets to charity, but thought, hey i have ppl in town that don't have this, so i gave them to the ppl in my town for a merry xmas. god, that makes you feel so good.

Dear bonehead teacher,

Why is it so difficult for you to give me important information about my client and his schedule ? I'm especially cheesed that you neglected to inform me about THREE fieldtrips and then wondered why I was mad after I drove all the way over to the school, then had to drive back again to the trip sites. I don't get mileage for those trips, ladies. Next time (and I'm sure there will another time, since you did not take responsibility for the last 3 snafus), I'm taking that travel time out of your service time- how'd you like that ?

Put flyers and notes in my client's folder like the other grown ups somehow manage to do in their classrooms, and drop the affronted attitude when I ask for a little professional courtesy. Hey, here's a novel idea... try communicating with the mainstream teacher yourself, instead of making me go back and forth when find out that there's yet another issue because of you. After all, his education is YOUR responsibility, not mine.

^lol, love it.

No gripes for me. My new job is great and getting better by the day and I'm SO thankful to be out of the old one!

so happy for you Lizzie!! You have a lot to be thankful for this season:) My only gripe could be when my in laws come to visit me this week, that I be a good host and not tire of holding my tongue.

(((Patty))) Your dad looked like he was a cool guy to be around..

[Patty Petty 9]

Thanks guys! Yes Emily, he was a cool guy to be around! He really and truly liked (and trusted) everyone! A trait we found fault with sometimes because it did him harm at times in his life, especially as he got older. :085:

[KansasPettyFan 1]

I'm waaayyy late but (((((Patty))))) He sounds like an awesome man!
