Surfnshannon Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 hey guys. well i probably won't be posting for awhile. i'm in such a depressed mood i am not even in the mood to post. i will come back. i'm just sad right now. i hope it is just hormones. i am really sick and also tired of being on graveyard. physically tired. of course nobody at work understands that being pregnant and working graveyard is horrible and they give me more work than ever to do. so i have to do that at night instead of post. this sucks. hope you guys have fun.

Rogue Nine Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Yet another utterly pointless post. You didn't even offer sympathy. Shan, if even you need to talk, you can catch me on AIM as Xanthiel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 alright, my hands were freezing from the cold weather....*shrugs* whenever i'm in a depressed mood i load up some good techno and drink energy drinks and attempt to beat levels in some of my games...i'm kinda depressed right now, in fact. tomorrow's my bday and i wanted to party today and my stupid so-called friends [read: users] aren't even contacting me. so, **** them. and also, **** lititz as well for not having any places for me to go have a good time at.

Artoo Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Dangit, there goes our resident female, why would they give you more work when you are getting closer to delivery anyway? It's just wrong... Hope you get to feeling better. You're engaged to the love of your life, and you are going to bring a new life into the world soon. Hold onto these precious thoughts, and maybe that will make you feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratmjedi Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 At first when I read just the title I thought that you were going to say that you wouldn't have any more time for us with the baby on the way and that you would have to be spending more time doing motherly stuff. I still feel sad about you leaving and cause your depressed. I hope that you stop feeling like that. Like Artoo said, you are going to be married soon to the man that you love and you are also going to have a child that you and your soon to be made out of your love. I am guessing that it is just the hormones and that is why you are feeling like that. We will certainly miss you and we hope that you start feeling better and that you come back soon. Just give me the address of the place that you work at and I'll be there and I'll have a little talk to your boss. It is only like 40 minutes away from where I live Hope that you get better soon and that we hear from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherack Nhar Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Ack, I'm so sorry to hear that Do what you think is best... but we're going to miss you! If you ever need to talk, just get on MSN and we will. Good luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Yeah that sucks. You need to move where people know how to treat pregnant women. Geez!! Around here if a pregnant woman is standing up for longer than 5 minutes they ask them if they want to sit down. Hopefully you'll get over it soon and be back.

Darth Homer Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 ok, sorry I haven't posted in here yet...I've been busy...STTCT, you'll be happy to know that I have used my authoritative powers in a highly secretive society, that I cannot reveal here to place the Curse of Dragonbreath onto everyone who has taxed you recently...I'm not going to go into the particulars of what this curse does, just suffice to say that Listerene should be very pleased with their sales figures this quarter p.s. you may also want to stand a couple feet from these people when talking to them...

Surfnshannon Posted January 22, 2003 Author Share Posted January 22, 2003 I'm sorta back. I'm not as moody today . Monday was awful at work. My boss gets days mixed up since he doesn't work graveyard. I requested Wed night/Friday Morning for a vacation day because Of that Ultrasound I had. He says since I asked for Thursday off - he thought I meant Friday. I know it doesn't make any sence...he confuses me. So I was frustrated. The other thing was that we werre supposed to have a meeting on Tuesday and I was supposed to stay late for it. He changed it on Friday to Monday. Since I wasn't there to get the "EMAIL"..duh I'm gone after 8 am on Fridays...what am I supposed to have ESP when he sends an email at like 2 in the afternoon? So, then he expects me to stay until noon on Monday for the meeting. The meeting proceeded to be about how my department is so worried that I'm leaving and they will get stuck doing my work. They want to know when I'm going out on my leave...and the thing that determines that is the Baby! I can't tell them a definate date! He's due March 12...what else is there? So they are stressing me out. My boss is also giving me extra work. I've been asking for some extra work for over a year. It gets boring on graveyard. Well now that I'm 8 months pregnant (7 weeks to go) Maternity Leave is anywhere form 4-2 weeks before. That gives me roughly about 4 weeks before I leave. So now...I have more work to do.. I have to train someone else to do my job....I have to get everything organized so that people can find what they need while I'm gone...etc etc etc. And my boss is stressing the fact he doesn't want me gone long. Well too bad huh? My fiance is still awaiting the call from Edison (he had an interview last week). This will determine a lot financially. We can make it without but I would have to go back to work sooner. He is upset because if he gets the new job he won't be able to take the time off to see the new baby. I'm frustrated with his entire family!! His mom started picking on the items we had chosen on the Baby Registry. You know for the shower. We registered at BabiesRus okay? Well she thinks it is too expensive there. She thinks the diaper bag isn't cute enough and she is telling her side of the family to just buy whatever they want to. So now I am worried I'm not going to get the things we NEED and end up with a bunch of outfits *which I have plenty* or useless things like Baby Books. I'm sounding really greedy aren't I. I will love whatever I get...but I was really depending on the Family's to help us out. Then my best friend's mom got Breast Cancer. This friend was supposed to help me with the shower. I understand about her mom and I'm sooo sad too! So my mom is doing all the shower stuff and his mom kept bugging me that she wants to help. Funny how before she told me that I didnt' need a shower! Now that we are engaged..she wants to help?!?! I really don't want her to because all she does is get controlling, bitchy and insult me and my mother. His parents are also stessing us about NAMES. They refer to our son as the "nameless grandchild". God forbid we haven't commited to a name! It never fails, we get lectured about how the baby doesn't have a name yet, what are we waiting for. She, my future mother in law, told my mom what kind of food would I like at the shower because I'm too picky. I AM NOT a picky person! Especially about food right now . And my mom said...no shannon's not picky about things like that. And she made some comment about me taking to long about the name and being picky. ERRRR. I could go on and on and on...you see my frustration. I need some encouraging words here! Thanks for letting me *rant*. Love Shan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Wow. That's a whole lot of ***holes you have there. I'm sorry you have to put up with such a seemingly stupid boss and your future husband's family that is apparently controlled by a very arrogant and selfish woman. If you ever need a break there's always Iowa. Nobody will find you guys there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmjedi Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I feel more bad for you now. *Hugs Shan* That boss is really one incompitent son of a bitch. I don't know how a guy like that would not be able to do simple things like a know when you work and stuff. He seems like a real idiot. And he also wants you back real quickly? I understand that but that is just being so shallow right there. Your going to be a mother for God's sake. He should know that you are going to be more busy now and all that stuff. The least that they could do is atleast give you more days off instead of actually making you come back to work sooner. As for your husband getting that job at Edison, I hope that he got that job and I'll pray for you guys. As for you mother and mother-in-law they just need to stop being so bitchy and acting like that. There acting more like it is there child instead of yours already. They just need to realize that it's your child and not there's and listen to you more instead of talking about not naming the kid yet and what food is going to be at the shower. There are alot more important things like being financially off and being able to give the kid a good life. As for registering at BabiesRus I think that was a good choice. As for the baby bag not being cute enough they really have some problems and issues that they need to address. It's a bag that is going to be carrying around a bottle, and some diapers. It's not like he is going to meeting or something like that. I feel for you Shan and I'll pray for your family more and for you cause I can tell that this is really getting you frustrated and that is something that you just don't need right now. I hope that everything turns out better and that your family finally stops being so picky and actually start becoming more supportive of you.

Sherack Nhar Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Ratty pretty much sums it up... I'd just like to add that it wouldn't surprise me if your step mother starts bitching about the name once you finally settle down with one. Just expect a reaction like that, so you won't be affected too much by it :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagobahn Eagle Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Really sorry to hear that, STTCT.. I really don't know what you should do.. working late in a dark yard of dead christians with a baby in you.. my God, not my perfect way of spending the evening. Keep talking to your boss. That's my only suggestion this time around . Be brave, STTCT. PS: What's a "shower"? I know the water-based one (I keep clean ), but I haven't heard it in baby terms and anyway I assumed you didn't need your parents help to take a shower .
