Frustration at its finest

One thing that has been consistent from pregnancy to pregnancy (and even part of my normal "non pregnant" life is my patience and tolerance for things, or lack there of. It does appear to get worse during pregnancy, and I honestly feel bad for some of the people I work with (a little bit at least).

One thing that I don't understand is why Blogger doesn't understand what a RETURN is. I enter returns in my blog post, however, they don't seem to appear when the item actually gets posted. Case in point - the 20 week 1/2 way pregnancy post. There was probably 15 paragraphs / returns in that post, and do you see a single one? Me either. It frustrates me to no end why blogger insists on making me look like an idiot by not acknowledging my returns. Oh THANK HEAVEN!!! I figured out what box needed to be checked to fix this!

Second point of frustration with Blogger - the information at the bottom of my blog site. This is all of the crazy mumbo jumbo that is necessary to make my blog look as cool as it does. However, it didn't used to be there. When I changed from (1) theme to another, this suddenly appeared. I would like it to go away. So far, I deleted it, and my blog layout has stayed the same.... we will see how this goes...

I work with (2) young men (neither are married), I like to call them the millennial twins....
If you have never heard of millennials... check them out here: http://www.abanet.org/lpm/lpt/articles/mgt08044.html

Here is a little paragraph that I found interesting:

All Millennials have one thing in common: They are new to the professional workplace. Therefore, they are definitely in need of mentoring, no matter how smart and confident they are. And they'll respond well to the personal attention. Because they appreciate structure and stability, mentoring Millennials should be more formal, with set meetings and a more authoritative attitude on the mentor's part.

Personally, I think this is the nice way of saying they need to be babysat.

I have no patience or tolerance for either one of them. My boss put it nicely by saying that one of them is a "dry sponge", unable to retain anything that you give him. The other one, well, yesterday, I lost it and told him to stop talking. I explained that by talking constantly, he wasn't listening, therefore, he wasn't learning. I also explained, that really, he didn't know what I was going to say, so STOP finishing my sentences. We are not equal. SHUT UP. OK, so I didn't tell him to shut up, but I wanted to. Needless to say, my bosses have given me a vacation from mentoring the (2) millennials until after I have a baby. This may be reason enough to get pregnant again immediately following the birth of Baby #2.

Fortunately, my patience with Ellie is really growing. I realize it doesn't help to argue with a 2 year old. What does work you might ask? Bribery, threats of certain death, and more bribery. We have found a new method of bribery - this would be the "Gummy Donuts" as Ellie so kindly refers to them. The rest of us, know them as Gummy Life Savers. She savors those (5) little life savers for hours. Until she forgets she has them, and Cammie eats them.

So for all of you innocent people out there, I am apologizing in advance. If I happen to snap at you, bite your head off, or give you a look that makes you turn to stone, I am sorry, but really, don't get on my nerves :)
