Today's Peeve Of The Day, Wednesday 9th May. (women, how to, people)

[Jezer]

Good morning peevers.

We're in for a real soaking today, and I was hoping to take a study group round the gardens at work. Plan B I think.

Ever had the situation where someone plans something that only you do but doesn't actually consult with you as to how it will work in practice?

Well let us know, because the POTD is;

Poorly thought out plans that affect you.

[wit-nit]

Spouse does that to me quite often. Then I have to disect it and figure out how to implement the idea.

Jezer old chap... I'm in the British Army. My life is permanently affected by poorly thought out plans.

LOL! Well us guys seem to lose our authority later in life and the women seem to take over.. So...I'm blaming them for all my woes!

This kind of ties in with yesterday, my appt in Manitowoc. Somehow I missed the news or maybe just didnt hear, that there would be road construction and the 151N (the only two lane road between here and there) was closed off! So.... I had to follow detour signs that would point me about 10 miles out of my way, to other back roads, to my appt. Bottom line is, I barely made it on time to that appt. Ugh!

My cousin always does this to me, she never thinks through anything and somehow it always involves me because I'm the only one with a car.

Hmm, yes that seems to happen to me too!!

Drives me nuts! If you have plans with a friend at 5 PM, don't offer to have dinner with me at 7 PM. You're going to end up having a good time with them and staying way past 7 PM, and then I'm going to be there wondering where you are. Just wait till the next night! Lol. If I spend an evening with someone, I spend the whole evening with them (or several people together) but I don't split it up.

I also don't like mixing up languages. I have a lot of deaf friends and hearing friends. If the hearing friends know sign language, it's fine and doesn't matter if we hang out in a mixed deaf/hearing crowd. But it gets really awkward when we mix deaf friends with hearing friends who don't know sign language, in a group, because I always end up being "the interpreter", and there is no way I can keep up with both sides. (In professional settings, they have two interpreters for group situations so they can handle overlap in conversaton and each one can catch anything the other one missed.)
