Random Thoughts the 13th: Jason Takes RTT

Two things

1) I honestly barely know any of the bands in the concert thread.

2) Why do these nutjobs argue politics in responses to articles that have nothing to do with politics. Read an article about a Lakers game, get an Obama trump comparison. Read something about a concert being delayed. First response is about not enough healthcare. I know it's my fault for looking at them, but some people need to give it a rest.
I know what you mean. Most of us want a break from it and people just insist on bringing it into everything.

I'm going to risk something here, but I saw this posted somewhere the other day and I could not agree more...


"Political parties are a farce, a device used to divide people from human interests. I am sick of the whole false dichotomy and loaded debate."

If this rankles any true believers in here, then please just message me and I will delete the post.
 
Baby has another cold. This one appears to be more serious than the brief runny nose last week as he protested within about 45 minutes of being laid down last night. Oy. Three wakeups by the time I went to bed at 11, DH said there was one at midnight, then up with me from 2:45-3:30. Tried to put him down three times. DH took him and I think not back asleep until 4 something. Woke up again shortly after 5 and DH took him to the couch where they slept til 7:30. Poor little guy just gets so cranky when he's got a stuffy nose. Wonder if we should try elevating one side of the crib mattress tonight and see if that helps.

Typed up a big work rant that I'm just going to skip. TL;DR I'm feeling apathetic about a project that is a mess and people in charge don't seem to realize they need to get their **** together. And I don't know how much more I care to try and get them to realize that. Then another project where after freezing me out when I should have been HEAVILY included in on, the person now wants me help after getting their ass handed to them when presenting their findings that were just, full of holes. I'm diving in now but it's annoying.
 
also, I mentioned Mother's Day to DH and that I had gift ideas and he's like what, Mother's Day isn't a gift giving holiday.

Booooooooooooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I know you didn't just say that to me.

Rule #1: The man is always wrong.

Rule #2: If you think the man isn't wrong, refer back to Rule #1.

Sounds like DH needs to be referred to the previously stated rules. He's got some learning to do.
 
Someone mentioned Ames People the other day so I joined to see what it was all about.

I appreciate the information about construction & new businesses, but yeah - most of it is a cesspool!

Young padawan has much to learn.


I'm even like dude, your mom is excellent at the mom guilt and likes receiving gifts/cards/etc. There is no chance in hell that you weren't expected to give her something. Also, your mom has a gemstone ring for you kids. Don't act surprised when I was like hey I think that's a nice idea. Mostly because at least on this first one, I nailed the best birthstone, IMO. If I had an August or November baby I'd be like pass.

And yes, I'll be asking for Father's Day ideas. Though 100% he's going to be like you take all the wakeups and he gets to sleep in.

A six pack of Mt Dew and some gaming time should do it for him. This did just remind me of an engineering manager I work with who recently had a wedding anniversary. Apparently the agreement for gifts was she got some ring or jewelry that was like $1k and he got an entire day to just game.

euphemism?
 
Apparently people think lots of conference calls = planning
This project was supposed to happen last December and now again this weekend and it seems like this is just a cluster **** in waiting.

Maybe time for games would be good.......don't think he's had a Mt Dew..........probably since college? He's not a big pop drinker.
 
There are 2 types of Father's Day requests I have noticed in my relatively short fatherhood experience and I've done both depending on what has been going on around the time.
1. Spending quality time and doing something fun with the kids.
2. Getting a break from being a father.
