What are your pet peeves? - Page 24

I like job interviews, too. It's getting them that's the challenge.

As for weight, I used to be 160lbs. Always. For the longest time. And I used to be a size 32 waist. But then I hit thirty and now five years later seem to be at this 168 zone and size 33 waist jeans for all eternity. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get back to the 160 I was.

When I was 16, I worked at McD's and gained a lot of weight. (It was the free food that did me in.) I have the stretch marks to prove it. But I did lose it but was ridiculed nonetheless for being pudgy.

Ralphie used to be like 280 or so when he was in his teens, early twenties. But he put himself on a strict diet and lost almost 100 lbs or so. He went back up a little, and I know he worries about his weight constantly, but to me it matters not. I love him no matter what size he is.

That goes for all my friends.

Graduation day was the happiest day of my life...I never had to see them EVER AGAIN...

I hate it when people use an old food container for something else. Like homemade chili in a washed out cottage cheese container. Its just not right.

Reminds me of the old George Carlin routine: "Ice Box Man."

I hate people who think that the “2 or more persons” rule for carpool lanes doesn’t apply to them; the ones who weave in and out of the carpool lane like it is just another lane of traffic. (Bee-otch in the gold Lexus on the 91 this morning… I’m talking to you!)

My daughters school has the worst communication ever. They've bought some voice calling system. They record messages and then the machine calls your house. Few problems -

1. My machine tends to cut off half or more of the messages.
2. If the munchkin answers the phone she listens to half the message before handing me the phone.
3. If I'm doing something else and the phone rings I'm not immediately ready to receive information.

So I must not have been the only parent with this problem and now they email you a copy of the voice recording as well. Why they can't type out the message is beyond me. So at least I actually get them.

Now here's what made me nuts yesterday. There is a mention in a note from her teacher that Back to School night is Thursday, but no time. So I finally call the school yesterday morning. Phone rings and rings then goes to a voice mail box that isn't activated. OK. Call again and get a person. She tells me the time and I mention that the event is tomorrow and we haven't received any information yet. I get a snippy "we're sending a call out today". Whatever. Just nice to have some notice especially as you aren't supposed to bring the kiddies, parents only. So you do have to make arrangements.

Lastly the schools website has some limited information, all badly formatted. The PTA section hasn't been updated for over two years. They quit newsletters home on a regular basis three years ago. It's frustrating especially if you work and aren't in/around the school daily. You have no idea what's going on.

Oh and I did say, more than once, that I'd be happy to help update the website to the PTA people but they tell me so and so is doing it. Ummm apparently not.

I know we've discussed this, but I really think our kids go to the same school.
Lets gang up on the PTA president.
Obviously whomever is updating the web site doesnt know how to UPLOAD.
