Our toilet seat covers are in a dispenser outside of the stalls. I always feel like people are judging me if they get one and I don't. Sorry but my hands will not be coming within millimeters of the toilet seat. Idk what you are even supposed to do with them when you are done-flush them? I rather have germs on my butt rather than my hands.
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?
I would just touch the metal handle anyway. But I am far from a germophobe.
Well today was going just fine but now, thanks to this post, I want some freakin' brownies (middle ones). Not so hot for diet I have done sooooooo well on. Thanks a lot.
This is my favorite brownie recipe. Use the Hershey's Special Dark cocoa to make it - the dark cocoa makes the brownies incredibly rich and moist. People inhale these whenever I bring them: www.hersheys.com/recipes/recipe-details.aspx?id=98
I just love getting things at work that people have review that say things like "I don't think we should file both of these here" where there is NO MANDATED FILING SYSTEM, so people are free to throw files into whatever cabinet they think fits online.
So if my boss wants 2 files in one cabinet, but this guy reviewing doesn't think so, who's right, who's wrong? I've been asking for a SOP for over a year!

I will have to try making these! We usually make these:
I have another random/vent. My face is all broke out right now. I have a third eye and everything. I haven't had this many pimples since I was a teenager. I'm pretty sure it's because I rub my face on my cat. Cuz I'm weird like that.

I just touch the handle too. I once had a CW call me out for it, I told her I like too keep my immune system challenged and build up tolerance to germs by exposing myself to the basic everyday germs. I rarely get sick and I think that has something to do with it.

I love the whole pan of brownies. I love the inside and the outside just the same. I am pretty sure that I will now be making a pan tonight, thank you very much for the suggestion.
I am so glad that this week is soon over. Even though I have a lot to get done at home tomorrow. I am feeling so unorganized the last month or so. I really hope things quiet down now that it is almost February. January is always an insanely busy month for me.

Even if it has nothing to do with it, I absolutely agree with you on this. I am not really careful about germs and I cannot even remember the last time I was sick.

I started working on our taxes, and oh my goodness. I knew we made less this year since DH and I were both unemployed for 3 months, but holy shit. Our HHI in 2012 was 35K, and that includes me working 2 jobs at one point, and DH picking up overtime. That's less than 50% of what we made in 2011.
I need 2013 to be better. We can't afford another 2012.
I went to the eye doctor this morning. I wear contacts most of the time, but glasses occasionally. My glasses prescription was super old, so I went online to order a pair of cheapies.
I ended up ordering 3 pairs of glasses--black, gray, and brown--for $83 total, including shipping. Plus, I will get 12.5% back with eBates. I don't need 3 pairs of glasses, but they were so cheap! Maybe I will wear glasses more now that I have the correct prescription and assorted frames to choose from.
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).
This is the reason I never submit anything to Clients from Hell. It is a kind of immature, fleeting satisfaction and a big professional risk.
Are you sure you were very clear in what you asked for? As a designer I often have clients make vague requests and then be upset when I cannot mind read. It is frustrating on both sides, I know, and I'm not implying that you are to blame for the misunderstanding at all. It happens in both directions in my line of work. I have learned over the years to be extremely thorough in explaining what my deliverables will be and reiterating back to the client what I think they are asking for to avoid misunderstandings. Even with these precautions, misunderstandings happen. Honestly I often blame myself when a client isn't satisfied because since I do this professionally, I feel it's on me to clarify the request if I have any doubt at all.
I hope you aren't too hurt and that you end up getting what you are seeking from the designer in the end.

I'm getting my hair did tomorrow morning. I'm super excited! I haven't had a hair cut in almost a year (normal for me). I think I should post a new thread on suggestions.
I know I was bitching about these stupid biographies I have to write for work. I just had a guy call me, and he said "So, I've got a write-up on my dad for you. I'll it over to you on Monday, and it's been approved by our legal team." Normally I might be offended, but I'm thrilled that I've managed to outsource this terrible assignment!

I need to do this too ! Where did you order from?
GlassesUSA.com. My H got his from there awhile back and has been very happy with them.

I greatly oversimplified here But yeah, it could have been a miscommunication. I'm not hurt, I was just pissed. And won't hire them again.
I will say the quote, taken out of context, seems totally ridiculous.
Well I've had two panic attacks in the last 24 hours so I will be trying my xanax this weekend to see what kind of reaction it has on me so I will know if I can take it at work or when driving, etc. One was at bedtime last night, the other while at Homegoods today. I had to go hide in the handicap stall with the stroller til it passed.
Fortunately I've figured out that if I put my head between my knees it seems to help it pass more quickly. Weird.
