Ugh, yes! I turn it off the second it comes on.    My main station has been 80's on 8 lately.

Yes. What is that? TBH I feel like it's pretty sexist.

S.O.'s mom texts him last night (first time since January). Says they are having trouble affording food and hinting that D should give them money.

I should have known that things had been quiet too long.

A recruiter found my profile on LinkedIn and contacted me about a fantastic job opportunity. The job description reads like exactly what I'd like to be doing, and what I was supposed to be doing in this job. She sent the company my resume and they came back asking for a writing sample. Fingers crossed!

The only potential issue is that a commute to center city Philadelphia would be a PITA, but I'd make it work.

Stupid mobile site won't let me like your post. Good luck!

I am going to be sad when Lent ends this weekend and my signature picture is no longer relevant.

My cat started throwing up yesterday afternoon and would not stop, so I took her to the vet. I had them keep her overnight and give her fluids because she was dehydrated. They did blood work and x-rays. Nothing has shown up, other than maybe constipation. I'm so happy she is okay. This cat is the best cat ever. She is just costing me a fortune!

I have done hardly any work this week. I was exhausted from my quick weekend trip. Then, all the ML stuff provided an easy distraction because I wasn't motivated anyway. I really need to start working.

I have been eating horribly, way too much sugar. I need to get it under control. I think I need rehab for make-up and sugar.

[ChillyMcFreeze]

I had a gyro for lunch and now I think I smell like lamb.

[eponinepontmercy]

My ILs hid eggs for DD to find on Sunday, and she came home with a big bag of candy and other assorted presents. I have eaten almost half of her jelly beans and M&Ms.

Keeping with the music theme, there's a professor in my department who's kind of known for his eclectic music taste (he likes to start each one of his classes by playing a song that goes with his lecture material). I passed his office a little while ago and he was grooving to "Jump Around." It made me giggle inside.

[ajj]

Our phone system is being switched out today. No phones or internet for a few hours! (I work from home, but remote in.) Woohoo! Excuse to not work.

[ringstrue]

The selfie song cracks me up.

I sorta hate my job title cuz it attracts a lot of recruiter attention on LinkedIn. One dude even cold called me at work. He got through by lying to the receptionist.

[pixy0stix]

I can't get it up for all the drama. Watching people flip the fuck out doesn't even do it for me. I had one flare of interest in fake doctor Megan's drama, but now I'm all, "Nope. Don't care."

My give a shit meter is broken.

[pescalita]

If this cold keeps us from our Easter travel plans I am going to be PISSED. It has taken a long damn time for this introvert to be excited to see my in-laws, and I am too proud of it to fail now!

But I might be cats!

I keep thinking today is Friday. Then I realize it's Thursday. Keeps bumming me out. Although Fridays around the office suck ass these days. I found out TODAY the head of our HR department was laid off. Makes 11 total for my little slice of the umbrella. Fucking sucks.

Which is the best thing to come out of the threads.

I realized that I posted this earlier in the early @ randoms. I'm going with the excuse that it's been a long week.

One of my mother's best friends passed away last night. She leaves behind 2 high school-aged kids. We knew it was coming, it's still hard to believe. She is the woman who got me to tutor at my old elementary school, which is when I decided I wanted to be a teacher. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be finishing up teacher's college right now and I have no idea what I'd be doing.

Thoughts & prayers, if you're into that sort of thing, for her kids and husband would be appreciated.

y4m this is how I look playing Draw Something:




While searching for that pic I found discovered that there are a lot of people much, much, much better at this game than I am. I mean look at this:

[2curlydogs]

I have a new project that our strategist kinda fucked up on in the quote process. I took it on last Friday and then he's been out on vacation. So I've spent the last week trying to fix it.

I think I've got it in a good place now to the point where the client's going to approve it today. Which would be awesome cause then I can work from home tomorrow morning to get the SOW put together. Which means I'd have the day to myself. MUAAHAHA

[terpsfan]

One of my friends (we used to be really close but have drifted apart due to busy lives/kids/work/etc) just sent me a FB message to "get together to talk about her new Rodan & Fields opportunity" or something. I can't see the whole message because I don't want her to see that I've read it yet. I'm kind of mad about it. I want to get together with her because I like her as a friend and would like to get back to being friends but I don't want to hear about this. I don't know what to do or how to say it without it coming out mean

I was pretty proud of my mermaid. This is about as good as it gets though:

[Deleted]

When walking back to the office after lunch today, I saw a group of four guys busking. It was fancy, though, their group consisted of a guitar, two violins, and a CELLO! The guy playing the cello was wearing an untucked flannel shirt and a baseball cap, so it was a funny sight.

[eponinepontmercy]

Follow-up:  I have an interview on Wednesday.  They want me to bring more writing samples, including something I've designed and written myself.  Since so much of what I do follows templates, that's going to be a little difficult, but I'm going to see what I can find.

For reasons I don't understand, this is BF's favorite song and that bastard blasts it when I'm in the shower at his house. On repeat. I'm helpless. But first...let me take a selfie.

It's truly awful. My 3yo's reaction was "Mommy, what is that NOISE?!"

Your mermaid was fantastic! My drawings are always stick figures.

Someone just told me I look Nigerian, not American. I thought that only happened to @iammalcomx!

Anchorman 2 is so bad. It's not even so bad it's good. It's just bad.
