People blowing, whispering or making loud noises in my ear. Reason: I have perfect hearing so even the tiniest sound echoes and it drives me insane.

Nearly walked out on my district manager's leader meeting yesterday after she made a crack about with everyone gone (hubby moved to MD, younger son in CT, older boy fixin to go to SC soon; we live in FL), I could "get back to work". Heartless wench. No, "oh, you must miss them" or anything.
And as if shuffling people around, cleaning, packing, having a yard sale, trying to help hubby find housing (cheap, since we're still paying our mortgage here), looking for work for me to supplement my income because the business is in a slump despite best efforts lately and the income is unreliable since it's sales (didn't tell her about the job search, of course)--as if all of that wasn't work. AND I've still been putting in decent orders, despite that I now have to chase them down harder. My "vacation" in CT was caring for my son and my dad while still running my business from there, plus doing a lot of clean-up in my dad's house. It ain't easy spending two weeks sorting through 30 years of living, to pull out the diamonds from the garbage and dust.
Not to mention the emotional stuff--hubby and I will be separated for nearly a full year with him working there and me single momming two teen-aged boys here. My younger boy (who's 12) is spending the entire summer with my dad (who's not even close to 12 )--this is the longest I've ever been away from my baby boy. My oldest will be driving himself to the training in SC, after only just getting his license. My boys drive me nuts sometimes, but I miss them something fierce when they're gone.
Then, there's my trip to ChiCon in mid-August that I'm preparing for. My only real vacation in over a decade, and a part of me is already regretting going this year.

Having a boss try to change something that has worked well for years. Without talking to all staff members..!"What do you mean by 'Oopps'?"
