How many stitches? I am kind of giggling that you have a pain in your ass.
I have a bad case of the sleepies. 3:30am wake up with PF. Luckily, my mom gave me her Aerobed over the weekend. I got a better doze between 3:45 and 5:30 than I would have if I was sharing the couch with the kid.
Sorry to hear that PS. I admit my mind also went straight to some joke about a pain in your ass.
Tonight is graduation at my work. I'll be at work 2 1/2 hours later than usual, but I'm looking forward to it despite having to do some public speaking.
I am buying my colleague a Dr. Who item as a thank you for letting us use his bathroom (since he's never here and his works). I am betting he will a) laugh and leave it in his office of b) laugh, put it on and go back to his other office.
DH & I are getting a date night Saturday night! Not sure what we'll do yet, maybe see a movie and get dinner.
I'm at work today. My director and the VP of my department decided to come in from CA today. So much for working from home. Dammit.
Work decided to do some damage control and told everyone that [waves arms around] all this shit is standard protocol whenever someone from a management or executive role is fired or let go. I've worked here for 12 years and we've never had this level of security. That includes the time the CFO got fired. Dudes with AR-15s is not standard security protocol for a goddamn insurance company. Try again.
I have bad cramps and don't want to run. So Muddled and I will be at the corner Cold Stone instead. Don't come looking for us, dl!
The interview yesterday was awesome. There's a second round of interviews next week that she pretty much told me I was going to get. Top 2 candidates only. The position would morph into one with more responsibility over time, since the HR manager for the campus is beginning to head up a new location. So basically get used to all the systems and the company style and be groomed for more of a leadership role in the future.
If Muddled and gault don't run today, I won't feel guilty that I didn't exercise yesterday. I'm going to be a bad influence and say they can take it easy today, mwahahaha!

Sorry your butt hurts, PS!
Good luck, Gault!!
Muddled, I actually thought about getting up this morning and walking. But it was raining, so I went back to bed.
I gotta be honest with you guys... Something happened last night that I'm not dealing with very well, and I'm pretty upset about it... I'm still kind of processing and I don't really feel ready to talk about it. But I could use some virtual hugs today.

Creepy internet zombie hugs... (hug)starrieskies (hug2)
I have been slammed at work for the past 6 days. I feel like I can barely catch my breath. I'm about to go on vacation and have a guy here to help out with what I do. It's weird. I wish my boss would have had him come in next week. I have way to much stuff to do instead of teaching someone the ropes of my system.

I'm really sorry. I wish we could all take you out to dinner with lots of booze and talk it out.

I am in intermediate sewing. I am on the higher end of the experience level in the class but I am still learning a lot. There is one lady in my class who compliments me a lot on my skills which is really kind of her, but I get really shy about my sewing and I really don't want to be attention whore-e about my skills. I am sort of bad about accepting compliments about sewing and I realize it. She just gave me a lecture about how if I am not properly accepting compliments than I am insulting the compliment giver and it is really rude/bad manners to say things like "oh, I am not that impressive, I just practice" or "oh, I've just been doing this for a while"
I am annoyed at her now. I appreciate compliments but I am shy!

I don't know how to accept compliments either. I use to be terrible at it. I'd freeze and wouldn't say anything, which is so bad. Then I tried what you do, which is downplay it as best I could. Afriend finally said to me "you are so bad at taking a compliment. Can't you just say 'thank you'?"
Now I just say a quick "thank you" and leave it at that.

I suck at accepting compliments too. They make me uncomfortable. Here at work, I try to keep my response to a minimum--so I say "thank you" or something of that nature. That way, I am not downplaying the compliment or risking upsetting the person giving me the compliment.
What should DH & I do for our date night?
a) Dinner and a movie b) A movie at the drive-in c) Dinner or drinks somewhere

I get shy around people I don't know very well. I also am mostly annoyed that she hardly knows me and decided to lecture me on my manners.
