The phones and internet went down at work and we got out early as a result. I have a luxurious 90 minutes to kill before my pilates class. I feel like I won the lottery.
I feel like all I think of these days is wedding stuff and that's all people ask me about is "how many more days to the wedding, etc."
I had a frustrating phone call with my mom last night as she didn't get why I would want everyone to hang out in my room together prior to the wedding. She was curious as she was instead thinking of going down to the beach/pool :/ This then lead to a large amount of wine consumption last night. But the evening finished on a high point, DH practiced dancing with me to some of the music for our reception.
Tomorrow I pick up my dress, so I'm excited for that!
Sigh. I can't tell if this job is working out. It is really stressful and I'm considering starting to look again. I've only been here 3 months. I feel like a failure/quitter. But it is not just me, my counterparts feel the same way (they've been here 6 months). Part of me feels like I made a big mistake leaving my last job, even though I know that isn't true.

Hello VT's mom! It's pamper and help the bride time! Sorry she was being difficult.

I 100% get this. I feel the same way.
Thanks, I saw your post about your job and was thinking the same thing. The hard part is that I really like a lot of things about it, but the workload is just insane. And I don't feel like I have help/support to get the work done. I don't know how to make it better and I hate feeling like I'm just giving up. I also am afraid that 1) another job might be worse and 2) how it is going to look if I left quickly. I'm trying to give it another month and reevaluate, but part of me is already giving up.
VT- I wish my mom would have been at the pool and left me alone before the wedding. She drove me crazy! She almost had a panic attack and was shaking because she was so nervous. Fun times!

I'm sorry, noodleoo I know you've been crazy busy but I'm sorry it's been overwhelming. I don't think it ever hurts to look and apply to new opportunities, but try not to mentally give up just yet either. That will make it all the more painful day to day. And you are not a failure--sometimes things just don't work out or employers are not what they're cracked up to be. I hope things get better for you one way or another soon.
Thanks, RNV. Sorry to hijack!
VTD: I'm so excited for you! I spent the morning with my BMs and was glad my mom showed up later. She can be a bit overwhelming. Have fun getting your dress!! I can't wait to see pics!
SCM- Feel better. I fell down the stairs at the Mandarin and all the employees rushed to me. I wasn't sure if that was what I wanted or if it made me feel worse/more embarrassed.
Today's high point: I got tickets to see Paul McCartney at Fenway!
Today's low point: I fell down the stairs at South Station on my way home and now both my knees are in a lot of pain. I'm home now and icing them, fingers crossed its not something serious. I'm the clumsiest person alive
Oh no! I hope you're ok. I once went ass over teakettle down a flight of stairs at work, landed in a heap at the bottom, and my purse broke the window on the door in front of me. (In an historic house no less. Oops.) oh! And last summer, I fell in the courtyard and cut up my hands and knees, and then bled all over a participant when he tried to help me up. So I get you. And I beat you in the clumsy arena, heh.
And we saw Sir Paul the last time he was at Fenway; it was great. We brought my mom, and she was SO HAPPY. I think I could have gotten away with not buying her gifts for a very, very long time, heh.
I am in Denver til tomorrow, and I just want to go home. I am tired and cranky and feeling like I'm coming down with something. And I got room service, (because I am lazy and it is seriously chain restaurant central in this neighborhood), and my hamburger was well done. Who does that? BUT, I did get to feel vindicated today when the 25 year old we interviewed for the fellowship came across exactly like I knew she would. They were all gung ho about her before the interview, and I was all ^o). And then afterwards, they were all "hmm, she might need to mature a bit more before she'd be ready." THAT IS WHAT I TOLD YOU FROM THE GET-GO! Whatever. They picked a solid slate of winners, so I am happy. And gloating.
scm1011 -we also saw Sir Paul last time he was there. Awesome show. Enjoy! Sorry about the fall I've been there more than once.
Today was boring. I did almost no work, teaching for about 45 minutes total, all day due to a combo of field trips and testing. I went to the gym and did a few miles on the bike and then convinced them to lower my monthly fee. MM win!
H and I spent most of tonight putting away piles of clean laundry. Yay for clean clothes, at least?
I am not tired at all, which does not bode well for tomorrow AM. Oh well.

Noodle and Preppy, I'm with you on the job woes. Hugs. VT, a big WTF to your mom!
Oh no! that sounds awful about the stairs. But the good news is that this time you didn't break your leg, right?
