I bought a snack size container of Ben and Jerry's at Stop&Shop for an afternoon snack.  It's depressing how little ice cream 230 calories will get you

I love Candy Crush but refuse REFUSE to link it to my facebook account on principle.  I thought about making a fake account to link to so I could get tickets to advance, but then I would have to link the fake account to my phone, too, which I don't want to do.  So, I pay the 99 cents to move on.  Before I do that, I make myself beat each level with 3 stars, or wait a month, so I don't charge more than 99 cents/month on my billing statement.  These rules are entirely self-imposed and a little bit crazy.  Ideally I would just not play the game because I hate they way they have it set up to move on, but I enjoy it too much.

I think today is not nearly as nice as everyone keeps saying it is. With the breeze I actually find it chilly out and am glad I brought my fleece jacket to work with me today. I've been debating over whether to turn on my office space heater or not.

Duplicate Post.

I had lunch outside and it seemed warmer out there then in my office. My building has the a/c blasting so it's freezing in here!

[pinkroses]

I think it's nice out but I still needed a medium weight jacket and a scarf.

I haven't put away my office space heater for the season yet.  I think it's more laziness than anticipating a need for it.

Are you guys closer to the city? I'm on the 128 belt and we just ate outside in the sun. GORGEOUS! I kind of wanted to just stay out there all day. One of the best things about this office is the outdoor patio. I'm kind of sad we'll be moving to a new building in August.

One more day till vacation!!!! I so cannot wait for a break from work, although it hasn't been that bad lately. I feel like I'm being lulled into a false sense of security...

*I haven't left the building since I got in at 8:30 this morning, so I have no idea what the weather is like. It looks sunny, though.

*I have a doctor's appointment in an hour, and I am dreading it. The last time I saw her (like 6 weeks ago for an eczema outbreak), I burst into tears in her office. I'm sure she thinks I'm a freaking basket case. Plus, I really hate the staff there - they keep effing up my prescriptions, and I can never tell if it's them or CVS that can't get their acts together.

* Yesterday marked one-year since H got laid-off, and he's still having no luck. As a bonus, we found out that he runs out of unemployment $$ in two weeks. When he told me, I spent 10 minutes trying to decide if I wanted to cry or throw up. Thankfully, I went with crying. We'll be ok, but it's going to suck.

* I had to interview someone first thing this morning, and I didn't sleep last night. I was SO off my game. And everyone else liked her, so I bet we hire her, and then she'll tell everyone that I'm that weird girl she interviewed with, heh.

noodleoo, I'm in Boston.  Not sure if we're getting a sea breeze here or what.

5kcandlesinthewind, I hope things turn around for you. 

Another random.  I love it when I buy something online and the shipping confirmation email has a direct link to the tracking page on UPS or FedEx or whatever.  I HATE having to go to the company website, enter my order number and email address, then get the tracking number.

5kcandlesinthewind that sucks that your husbands UE is running out.  I will keep my fingers crossed for you guys.

scm1011 that's awesome about the phone interview, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

Oh man 5kcandlesinthewind, that's all pretty rough, especially the unemployment running out. What field is your DH in?

My random is that I've been all "fuck it!" about my job this week because I have a phone interview for a job I really want next week (thanks to RockNVoll!). Like having a phone interview means I have the job already or something. I need out of this place BAD.

Ooh, good luck!  And I've totally been there: I had a phone interview last week, and before I even talked to the guy, I was writing my resignation letter in my head.

He's in finance, and does client reporting (something like that, he's on the operations side). He's been busting ass this week contacting all of the jerky recruiters who fell of the face of the earth, so hopefully he can pick up a temp job at least.

Oh man, 5kcandlesinthewind, I hope things improve soon.

And good luck, scm1011!

I passed up a chance to see Iron Man 3 today for free, because I hate Gwenyth Paltrow that much.

[elfinia7]

Good luck with the phone interview scm1011!

I just looked at the clock to see it's only 3 when it feels like it's 5.  I think my lesson has been learned about doing 7:30am workout sessions

Oh, I'm sorry 5kcandlesinthewind. That sounds tough. How's your H holding up? Extended unemployment is so demoralizing.

Good luck scm1011!!

liveintheville, aww man! I'm dying to see IM3. Although I saw a preview where Gwenyth was in an Iron Man suit and it looked pretty dumb. I love RD Jr. though!!! We might go see it in FL if it isn't too nuts for opening weekend.

I sent Tony in my stead. I'll let you know what he and Dave think of it. I do love RDJ but can't stomach gwenyth. Her 2 minutes in Avengers even annoyed me.
