Evenings Randoms?

[winnied]

I'm in my office waiting for H to pick me up for another hour so entertain me.

I was going to meet H and his guy friends for wings after a work reception I had but it's pouring and I'm soaking so I'm just going to watch Netflix in my office like a loser.

I really, really hope I made a good impression at the reception I attended. It could really help me career if I did well.

I'm trying to decide how pissed I need to be to justify letting the air out of my coirker's tires. B- needs to buy a clue.

If I've been in meetings with the founders all day and otherwise handling IRS issues for a major client, you do NOT interrupt my call with the client about their multimillion dollar issues because you didn't read the directions and f-ed up something minor and not due for 3 months.

You do NOT cop an attitude with me when I try to figure out if your latest emergency is actually more urgent than what the founder of the form pulled me from my other work to handle.

You do NOT give me a sob story about how stressed you are when I've been working 10+ hours days while you cone in late and leave early.

Just Grrrrrrr!!!

H bought me a fitbit last month for my birthday. I lost it today. I'm disappointed in myself, and because he will probably say something like "This is why you can't have nice things" when I tell him.

I remember putting it on this morning, and wearing it. A friend and I went to the movies and to the dollar store today. I realized after dinner that it was no longer on my waistband. I don't see it around the house, and it's not in my friend's car. What are the chances that someone found it and turned it in to the theater or store management?

I really want some seafood gumbo.

Online classes are worse than regular classes. One might think that a person who contributes to a message board for pleasure would not mind doing so in pursuit of an education, but I do not like being mandated to post 235098 times per week.

I am having vodka and cheese puffs for dinner while DH hosts poker night downstairs.

I am amused that the manager at the gym where I teach has no clue what I look like in workout clothes. She has only met me in person when I was hired (not in work out clothes) and has only recognized me since when I've come straight from work before I change.

This seems like it should be the opposite.

I finally did it. I opened a Vanguard account today and am in the process of transferring cash from our bank account. Non-retirement investments here I come! (Mind you, this is our joint money, but DH has no interest in this stuff). I wish I had listened to fuddyduddy when she sent me info on Vanguard funds a year ago... you know before the market went up ~25% in one year... Better late than never, right?

I went to the grocery store for ice cream with no bra on. And saw 3 people I know. Oops.

I'm already at my goal weight. That was easy. I'm really mad I donated all my skinny clothes a few months back after hoarding them for years and years.

I'm rather bummer about this tropical storm and all the rain we will be getting over the next 36 hours.

Then I see SIL post about tornados in Georgia and I feel guilty being just bummed.

But dammit! We finally started pulling crabs out of the creek and I want more!!

Speaking of crabs, I made an avocado and crab meat salad last night. Its 24 hours later and my avocados are not brown. Taste-wise, I went a little to heavy on the lime juice

I am torn between going to bed now or waiting for the ice cream truck.

edited to add- heard the truck down the street just as I finished posting. I had vanilla ice cream with hot fudge and caramel, and now I am going to bed.

I don't know why I never watched Parks and Recreation before. It's pretty damn funny.

I'm finishing a bottle of rose. That I opened tonight.

I love that show.

I am a chronic overpacker. I leave for Germany tomorrow and my suitcase and carryon are stuffed to the brim. I am only going for six days. (To be fair, I need work clothes and casual clothes for each day, plus I have my work laptop, big camera, travel tripod...).

[audette]

I've been reading some of that money mustache blog.

The guy is really a smug asshole.

I am loving my new silver Birkenstocks. I am a card carrying member of the MM ugly shoe club!

I'm depressed that I can't find a decent house in my price range. Wtmf. We could get a mansion three times over in most of the country. Fuck you NJ.

We had to drive through Tropical Storm Andrea to get to the beach, but we made it! The weather is actually supposed to be pretty nice tomorrow. I am looking forward to lying on the beach with a drink in hand. Any recs for beach reading?

[alleinesein]

I just had a piece of bacon fudge. YUM!

[heygrey]

one of the managers from another department got really pissy with me today over a decision i made that i refused to reverse. he goes whining to my manager about it and my manager was all, "did you talk to grey? yes? her answer is my answer. don't ever come to me to undermine her decisions. i will never contradict her." boo. yah. 1) i have the world's BEST boss. 2) i better not fuck up at work. disappointing my boss would almost be worse than disappointing my parents.

in other work related news, i got called a bitch four times today. new record!
