I'm fuming with feminist outrage today, and it's taking everything else down a notch for me.
We applied for our marriage license this morning. (WOO-HOO!!) There's a paper application you fill out, and turn in, and then they type it all up onto the actual marriage license for signature. So I was the one to print it out, and fill it out, so I automatically put my own name first, as "First Applicant/Spouse 1" with my FH as "Second Applicant/Spouse 2" underneath. Apparently the clerk felt a need to correct me, and listed FH first on the license!
I have no idea why this infuriates me so badly, but it does. I can't seem to get past it. I wish I had taken note and been able to call her out on it at the time.

Oh boo that's super annoying. I feel you. That would super kiss me off as well! Why does it matter whose listed fucking first!

I do plan on changing my last name, so it's probably a combination of feeling like I'm going to be "losing" a little bit of my identity soon anyway, and then made me feel even more inferior by bumping me to second. Stress and all that.

Two weeks notice has been passed in. I will be upset to leave this job since I love the people I work with but I need more money and something closer to home.

Nope. I'm a B, he's S.
The only reason for it is out-dated patriarchal ideals.

Job interview today. I'm seriously considering not going. I just put in for 13 days off at my current job and I know they will give it to me. I don't want to risk starting a new gig and have them deny my vacation request.

I was off Friday so I'm playing catch up at work today. We have a giant certification that is coming up at the end of April and I'm starting to panic about it. Luckily my portion is almost complete. Thank god it is only every 3 years. jorocka Love your invites! I'm more of a silver gal, but both are gorgeous tayliarae - that is really annoying! Every right to be irritated!

I'm a bit cranky because my car a/c broke. I live in FL and its already too hot to not have a/c. Also, while at a home visit today a cockroach crawled on me. Yuck.

Update - someone from the Clerk's office somehow saw my rant about the name thing on my Facebook, and I just got a call from the supervisor of the marriage license department. The employee will be spoken to, and this will ensure that office policy moving forward is such that men are not automatically put first on the license. Win for feminism!
