Friday's Rants

So I was unaware of the fact that pictures I posted yesterday, were already posted .. my apologies .. I don't keep track of what pictures are where because I have SOOO many .. 2,000 pictures in your IPhone is normal, right? Anywaysssss ..

Today I feel like having a rant day .. I want to bitch and complain about things .. I would usually vent to my boyfriend, but I feel like he always hears my rants .. In turn, I will use my lovely blog to voice my opinions .. Maybe it's the crappy rainy stormy weather that has me feeling super out of it and super moody .. Or maybe I'm just having after PMS, PMS ..

I've been dealing with a crazy jealous coworker for a few months here .. She's one of those types to smile in your face, but stab you in the back as you walk away .. Me? I'm not like that at all .. Everyone at my job knows I am a friendly, respectable person .. If I don't like you, you know it .. I'm not shy about it and I surely don't mask my feelings .. Will I still be civil to you? Of course .. I'm at work .. I don't come to work to be buddy buddy .. I don't work to make friends .. I work to earn a paycheck to support my family and my needs .. If I make friends along the way, great .. & not to toot my own horn, but I truly believe 90% of the people I work with, like me .. It's very rare that I run into someone who has something bad to say .. I'm a very friendly and outgoing person .. I speak to everyone and make an effort to wish everyone I pass a good morning, a good afternoon, or ask how they are .. Sometimes a simple "hi" and a smile can make someone's day!

Now that my ADHD has kicked in and & I've gone completely off topic, back to the workplace hater .. About a month ago I was at work, on a friday (summer casual days are Friday's) and I had on a short sleeve long black shirt .. It was form fitting but showed NO cleavage and was of appropriate length as to not show belly or back or crack when bending over (lol) .. I also had on bermuda's which were past my knee caps & cute Target wedges .. Something along the lines of these, maybe a little longer ..

 

I walk into my boss' office to get coffee (we have a coffee club) and said employee says "nice shorts" .. Me, being naive, thinks she's really giving me a compliment & I said "thanks, they are a little big which is a good thing, but I got them on sale at Target for only $9.99 and I love them" .. She in turns, flares her nose up, gives me this quirky little smile & says "Oh honey, I wasn't complimenting you, we aren't allowed to wear shorts in the office" .. Oh No You Didn't .. Immediately, my blood boiled .. Not only for making a mean comment but for making me feel stupid to actually believe you'd be a nice person and give someone a compliment .. I'm not one to usually judge, because I am NOT skinny, but this coworker has CRAZY muffin top, wears shirts that show her muffin top, jeans that are too tight, and commits horrible fashion crimes on a daily basis .. To make a long story short, I said some things and made comments out of anger, she then goes to HR and I get written up for her ignorance!! I could've went to HR the way she just blasted that comment to me, instead of doing things the mature adult way, and speaking to myself in private or to my boss about her issues with my "shorts" .. Not to mention, the day before this happened, I had on a long black maxi dress, strapless, BUT had a sweater with it .. Yes, I did take the sweater off for a few minutes due to the 100+ degree heat and our AC not working in the building .. & she decided to make a comment to a male coworker who said he was tired on a call, her response? "Well Brittany's dress will SURELY wake you up this morning" .. Umm, appropriate? I think not .. Cue in yesterday .. Wore the same dress .. Had the sweater .. Still 90 degrees out .. Sitting in my cubicle, not bothering a soul, minding my business, doing my work & my boss comes over to me and asks me to put my sweater back on .. REALLY?!? Again?? Does this woman have nothing better to do than sit around and complain about my clothing? It's so nice to realize that I make such an impact on someone's life just by what I wear .. She made a comment AGAIN to a male coworker about my "lack" of clothing & "where is my bikini for under my cover up" .. Could I in turn go to HR for harassment?? You're damn right I could .. Will I? Absolutely not .. Because I refuse to let someone IMPACT my life THAT much, that she gets her way .. She wants me to act out, she wants me to make comments and say inappropriate things, so she can run back to HR and try to get me fired .. I know that's her intent .. She's envious for some reason & I'll do what my Mama always taught me .. "Kill her with kindness" .. I will smile in her face, I will speak to her EVERY single time I see her & I will keep my negative comments to myself .. If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all .. I know that will really piss her off .. Jealousy is such a terrible disease .. Why can't we just let people be who they want and dress how they want? I looked cute and appropriate .. 

To all my haters! 

I don't think I have any other "rants" .. I know I built it up and made it sound like I was going to bitch and complain the whole time - sorry .. that's all I got .. 

Let's have some Friday's letters, shall we?

Dear Weather : I love how you are BARELY hitting 70 degrees today .. Gives me an excuse to wear LONG leggings and boots .. Fall is right around the corner & it's my favorite because I can cover up my fatness .. 

Dear Body : I don't want to be one of those woman who stays overweight after a baby, until their baby is 26 .. How long can I use the excuse, "It's baby weight?" .. No, seriously .. 

Dear Motivation : Come out, come out, wherever you are .. 

Dear Football : Ahhhh, we meet again .. Can I tell you how excited I am for you this year? Oh you need reason why? Let me just name a few .. 

Yeah, I know what you're thinking .. She's a Redskins fan, and there is a Cowboy in there & a Bear & a Giant & a Panter .. I bleed burgundy & gold - don't get me wrong .. Buttttttttttttttttt -who watches football to actually watch it football? Two words friends, eye candy .. and am I right, or am I right? Oh and the obvious - yes, I love black coffee with creamer .. Story of my life .. :)

Dear Makeup : Are you ever going to stay on my face from 7am to 4pm? Can I please get some extended wear .. Yes, I use primer .. Yes, I use oil blotch papers .. Yes, I use make up spray setter, or whatever .. I just don't get it .. I go to work looking amazing & come home looking as though I just ran a half marathon and was out drinking .. How does my mascara end up on my cheek when I haven't cried? I need Makeup help .. Maybe it's just because I can't afford the good stuff .. aka MAC, Bobby Brown, etc etc .. I do indeed use ELF products and Covergirl .. 

Dear Self : How were you born a girl, but have no girly instincts? I am clean, and I do clean my house on the regular .. I hate baking .. I hate dressing up .. I suck at picking out outfits .. I have no sense in style .. (Thank God for Pinterest and their Polyvore outfit colabs, or I would always have on sweat pants and tshirts) .. I hate my boobs .. I hate wearing bras .. I hate shaving .. I hate blow drying and straightening my hair .. I am terrible when it comes to doing anything BUT straightening my hair .. Funny thing about all of that?? I refuse to leave the house without make up, without looking cute, without my hair done (somewhat) & I can cook my ass off .. I don't have a shoe fetish .. I don't have a purse fetish .. I don't really have a fetish for anything .. I do LOVE to grocery shop .. andddd last but not least, I freaking LOVE being a Mom! :)

Dear ADHD : You've come back into my life full force .. I forget everything .. I lose things .. & I'm so worried about my next move that I forget my own thoughts .. I'm thinking it's time to make that call to the Doc .. I do NOT want to be put on meds, but I need something to help me .. This has gotten out of hand! 

Dear Deep Creek Lake : I am so excited to be heading your way in December with my Boo and our best friends, Jamie and EJ .. This will be my first time there and my first time doing a couple's retreat .. Alsoooo, I will be there celebrating 2 years with my baby daddy!! Perfect location for a ring, don't cha think?? Oh who am I kidding, no reason to get my hopes up yet, I'm sure that will take a few more years! 

Dear age 30 : You are less than 3 years away and according to my plan - I've reached one goal .. I had a child .. I need to start kicking my bucket list's ass & doing things I want .. At least one will be fulfilled next summer - taking my child to Disney!! Thank Goodness for Baby Daddy's grandparents living in Orlando .. Free room & board and GREAT company .. Ugh, i just love them and miss them! :) 

Happy Friday ladies & gentlemen & who ever reads this .. Feel free to comment or follow .. I'll be doing daily updates and getting more involved in the blogging world .. That's another "to do" on my list of 30 before 30 .. I want to actually get followers, interact, meet, talk, send gifts to one another, do giveaways, etc .. I get so envious of the girls I follow and how close they are with their followers and other bloggers .. I want that! :)
