Friday 'fessions

[Deleted]

Doesn't anyone have anything to excite the board today? SAHM isn't a job? Welfare users are lazy? Alcohol? Oh wait, we already have 11 pages about that. MIL drama? Bliss? Springs1!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!! Ranch dressing? Teachers are whiners? DH is a douche? Jessica Simpson is fat? Fat people should put down the donuts and jump on a treadmill?

[cjeanette]

I had a donut for dinner last night. With a vanilla coke zero. From Quik Trip. Nothing but the best for me.

[madringal]

I was 3 days late and although I hate being pregnant, my youngest is only 11 months, and I still have 30 lbs to lose, I was a teeny bit dissapointed when I got AF this morning.

[chessie]

My brother is on welfare in order to feed his 2 kids, since his wife refuses to actually work. Also not really working since I am studying for a certification in hopes to get a better job.

I had an eclaire this morning or as MM would call it "long john". When I asked for my eclaire I was internally second guessing if I should call it an eclaire or long john thanks to ya'll! lol

Haha. You made the right choice. Learn from my long john mistake :-p

I will be telecommuting for the same company after DH and I move to South Korea. (yay, gainful employment!)

I'm thinking of sending my office phone in our unaccompanied baggage shipment, which should arrive about 3-4 weeks after we arrive in country (unaccompanied baggage is the earliest shipment we will get after moving, it is size and weight limited).

Without it, my office will have a tough time communicating with me (email only without it, basically), but it's bulky, and I only get two suitcases to take with me to Korea, and I need space for yarn. (and, er, warm clothes, winter is a bit cooler there than here...)

ETA: yeah, it's a weak confession, but I'm happy that I'll have about 1.5 months without work calls... (yes, that is the fastest shipment getting to our new place)

I'm sick of parents with unisex names getting offended when I incorrectly call their kid "he" or "she" on the phone. If you don't want there to be confusion that your son is a boy then don't name him Ashley.

I am still pissed that I have to settle for the raspberry filled regular donut instead of a cream filled long john. Clearly, not enough to stop eating donuts.

[liveintheville]

I don't give a damn about a potential royal baby.
This is how my kid left the house today

Confession 1: I miss sex.
Confession 2: I jumped on the Ugg bandwagon. They are hideous, but I love them so much. It's like wearing slippers to work. They are so soft and fuzzy.

[rosetyler]

I have a real problem getting any work done before lunch. Like I can't get my poop in a group until after I've eaten, then I can maybe cram in a few hours of stuff, and then bunk off the last hour or so.

Jelly filled donuts piss me off. I hate when I think I'm getting a cream filled donut and then I bite into some kind of sweet jelly type filling.

Speaking of which, I was at a wholesale food supplier place with my mom a few weeks ago (because she does cakes professionally) and they actually sold big tubes of cream and jelly type fillings.

Now I want to ask my donut place if they make their own because those tubes seriously had a long expiration date and they looked so nasty.

I don't know why I thought any reputable baker would make their own filling from premium ingredients. I'm delusional I guess.

This is just random, but whenever the Pantone color of the year is announced, I always picture that scene from Never Been Kissed when they're like, "The votes are in, and this year's prom theme is...The Millennium!" It's very weird that a color of the year is even a thing, let alone a thing that people get excited about.

I kind of want that pantone metals palette that is on sale at the mother ship right now. I have tons of colors like that though...

I am very happy with next years color.

This is my MO as well. I'm productive from 2-4. Anything outside that window is a wild card.

I think Uggs are like winter Crocs. Gross. Yet at least two or three times a week I'm all like "man, I could really go for some Uggs today!" They do look comfy and warm. But ugly. And too young for someone of my advanced age.

I noticed they're ordering seltzer for our pantry at work, so I've been hoarding them in my office fridge like crazy. I just noticed that the assistant of a new VIP has been grabbing them to stock the Veep's fridge and I'm wondering if maybe the seltzer isn't supposed to be for the consumption of mere mortals like me. Whatever, I'll stuff them up my shirt if I have to.

My brothers house is being foreclosed on. I feel some sympathy, but mostly think he's an idiot due to his choices.

[StJess80]

I have a signed photo from Clarence Thomas on my desk at work. I haven't decided whether or not this would be flammable on this board, however.

It still haunts me the time I went to a restaurant and never left a tip. I can't exactly remember why I went to that restaurant. I believe someone who worked there invited me to check it out. It's a buffet style restaurant. That someone served me while I was there and I never left a tip.

I have no idea where I got the courage to go. I knew I barely had money and couldn't really afford to go to a restaurant. My take home was variable, $500-700 per month. My food budget was ~50/mo. I think I was 19-20yo and broke.

I had a bottle of wine and cheese for dinner last night, mostly because of Alcohol Wars. It was wonderful.

[Deleted]

My original plan was to go into work at 10 am today, but after working late most nights this week and checking in to see that there are no notes, I have decided to take the whole day off and take my dog to the park instead. Happy opening/birthday to me!!!

[rubytue]

More a vent than a confession, but I just counted 14 zits on my face. A combo of my meds and my period coinciding. And I have serious cramps. Not very functional today.

There is a thread over on CEP that I know so much about b/c of my job, but I can't say anything. I don't know how the lawyers do it - see what people say and not just bust out a smack down b/c they are just so wrong.

[rikki]

Happy Birthday, Mrs. Chicken! Your day sounds great!

[Deleted]

I blew the fuse in my office by running the space heater and Keurig at the same time, though it's never happened before. Physical Facilities came in and the first thing they did was scan the floor, point at the heater and start chuckling. If only the campus didn't have 1970's windows and heating systems, maybe people wouldn't be blowing fuses and wasting more electricity.

I've had a lot of sex lately (with protection of course).

This is more a random (@) than confession, but I walked into my 3 y.o. DD's room this morning and caught the end of her song- "Then the tooth fairy gives you money, then you can buy something at... TARGET (with gusto)" Haha. So my child.

[liveintheville]

I keep laughing out loud to myself today.
I'm always behind on the Daily Show. But we watched the one with Stalin fucking a Bald Eagle and we were crying from laughing. And I every time I think about it I literally snort out loud.

I'm not answering Willisaurus's mashed potato poll, because I smell a post title change ala VanillaCourage's failed poll on hair length.

I missed how this turned out.
