The receptionist came in sick this week, the 1st 2 days she really shouldn't have been here. I think she called in sick today. And now I'm coughing. I hope it's just from all the dust I've been enhaling from old files we're moving and NOT that I'm getting sick. Crossing my fingers.
I have a love/hate relationship with Fridays. I love that it's the last day of the work week, but I hate that it's one of my busiest days of the week. By the time I get home from work, I just want to be a sloth. Then I wake up Saturday morning all bummed that I didn't make better use of my Friday night! DH and I need to try to make Friday nights more fun at home. With a 20 month old and another on the way we aren't all that exciting these days. But I hate to waste away my weekend.

I have a favorite stall in the bathroom and today when I went in, the toilet paper dispenser was completely gone. Guess I need to find a new fave until the TP comes back.
I bought Jillian Michaels' "Ripped in 30" DVD. It's a good change of pace from the 30 day shred. I did it Wednesday morning and this morning and was even sore today!
Unfortunately, while doing push-ups I realized how much do hair has accumulated under my couch. Puke! Time to move the furniture and vacuum!
The women's restroom in our office has three stalls. I think the people who go straight for the middle stall are totally weird. I get it if both end stalls are taken, but otherwise there's no reason to take the middle stall. And yes, I know which people habitually choose the middle first.
I found a quote I uttered on a page where designers were making fun of stupid things their client said. Based on the quote, timing, and issue? I'm 99% sure this is actually about me.
I'm pretty pissed. Especially since the designer didn't give us what we asked for initially (think we asked for chair, they gave sofa, then made fun of us for giving feedback that the sofa should be a chair).
I got an email for the state department of education and it asked me to forward the message to all of our common core teachers regarding a conference. I did, and included our principal on the list for good measure. The principal called me in and yelled at me for sending the email without his permission. I am trying to derail his common core plans, etc. WTF. This has never been an issue before. I've never had any guidance on this. Today needs to be over.
Okay, I know I have over used this board to bitch about my FIL, but one last story...
He is diabetic and bitches about everything during meal times affecting his sugar. But while he was here, every single time I looked at him, he had candy in his mouth or was eating peanuts and stuffing them and his candy wrappers inside the lazy boy chair in the living room. I swept up an entire dust pan of shit from under the chair (luckily I found this before he left and he saw me cleaning it up...busted). I am still finding candy wrappers 3 days later...I found them in the wash..he had to have stuffed them in the pillow cases, outside in our patio furniture cushions, under the couch, in my indoor plants, in a candle holder. WTF. He does not do this at home. So he definately does this to disrespect our house. That f*cker.

I need to organize my house (especially my desk) but I can't get the motivation to do so. I blame in on the filing cabinet being in a space accessed only through the kids room. The time I would try to organize is when they are sleeping, so I just don't do it at all. I feel bad about being lazy, but my husband doesn't notice anything so he doesn't care.
We have bad weather here. It started earlier than expected so they sent students home shortly after they got to school. Now I'm at home getting ready to take a nap.

Sadly I have a lot of thoughts about the bathroom. I'm not sure what this says about me.

I am not a germophobe. Also, I have never seen anyone leave the bathroom at work without washing their hands first. So many people take paper towels after they leave the bathroom to open the bathroom doors with, so they don't have to touch the handle. If that's what makes them happy, that's fine. But then it makes me feel like they're probably judging me because I'm clearly walking out right before/after them but not using a paper towel?
In that circumstance, would you use paper towels so they don't think you're dirty? Or just touch the metal handles like you would anyway?

So what's wrong with using the middle stall? I don't know why, but I tend to choose the middle for everything. Pick a card? Middle. Pick a brownie? Middle.

An unexpected day off is the BEST.
I feel like the university where I work and the college where my kids' day care is are the only two places still open in the area. I want to go home and get my weekend started.
I feel like I am getting a cold. Part of feels better about it being on Friday because then I can relax over the weekend. And then part of me hates it because then it is over the weekend.

If someone else comes in, they have to sit next to you. The goal should always be to give the next person to come in the option to not have to sit in a stall next to someone.

Love the comparison between brownie and restroom stall.
I just like having a buffer zone between me and another person using the restroom. If someone goes straight to the middle stall, leaving the two ends open, there's no buffer zone. I know this is irrational, but at least a couple coworkers agree with me.

I'd do what you do. FWIW, I am one of the paper-towel-door-opener people. I only do it because I know some people just do a faux-wash (passing their hands under the faucet with no soap), and also the trash can is right by the door anyway, so I can open the door and immediately toss the towel. I have never given a thought to whether other people are using PTs to open the door.
I do definitely judge the faux-washers, though, and assume they only do that because someone else is in the restroom. When they're alone they probably don't even bother pretending.

Well, except that corner is clearly the right answer for brownies. Picking a middle brownie is crazytalk.
I love free wifi in doctors offices. I'm sitting here in the waiting room while DH has an MRI. Still trying to figure out what is causing his migraines, and they need to make sure he doesn't have anything wrong with his brain. He took muscle relaxers and xanax, so I get to be his chauffeur today.
But on the bright side, at least the board looks normal on my ipad.

No way. The corners are always the most over cooked. I love the gooey under-cooked middle brownie.
Agree. I don't want crunchiness on my brownie -- I want soft and chewy. I once saw a pan in the Skymall catalog that was designed to ensure that every single brownie is an "edge" brownie with crunchy edges -- WHY???
