- I dumped a LARGE cup of iced coffee in my lap about 2 hours after I got to work today. My pants are still wet. I've been to busy to swing out and buy new pants. And really, most dress pants have to be hemmed anyway, so I probably would have ventured out for nothing.
Ugh, sorry.
I did that once at work, too. I sometimes bring iced coffee from home in a mason jar. I had it on my desk, took a swig, and put it down and began to work on something. I absentmindedly picked it up a few minutes later and shook it to swirl the milk up ... except I had neglected to put the lid back on. Yeah. At least I smelled like yummy caramel coffee all day?
That, plus the endless Pants Person conversations on ML, led me to pack an emergency bag in my car trunk that includes extra pants and underwear.
I just got a voice mail saying "We have you down for an interview this afternoon but I realize we may not have informed you of this. Please call to reschedule."
1) No you never contacted me about this. 2) And now I don't think I would even be interested in an interview.
WTH?
Yeah that was kind of my thought on it as well. The last I heard from them was an email stating they would see if they could find a date that worked when the first date they suggested I had to turn down because I was travelling.
Is it possible bras have vanity sizing now? I have 3 bras, same brand, same style, same size. The oldest of the 3 is the tightest, which seems strange bc bras get stretched out. Ugh.

I hope not. Maybe that brand changed manufacturers?

I want to strangle my husband. He randomly decided to pay our credit card bill earlier this week. He hasn't paid bills in YEARS! Like since we got married almost a decade ago. And he managed to pay an enormous credit card bill an entire month early in a month where his paycheck is going from bi-weekly to monthly (which he also neglected to tell me about). I don't know what possessed him to do this. Its fine and yeah, I'm probably overreacting since we had the money, but really? We have separation of duties for a reason (he paid it out of a weird account) and dude, this isn't your duty.
I've been having trouble sleeping all week. I'm tired.
Last night, I even went to bed early, although I still ended up tossing and turning for a couple hours.
_just_ as I was about to drop off, DH got a work call. And then another work call. And so I spent the next two hours with DH getting up to handle the phone calls, and getting back into bed.
I think I got about 3 hours of sleep last night. I am now so tired I am nauseous.
Financially it would be a very prudent move due to taxes in 2015, but I'm just not sure I'm ready to pull the trigger! As much as I can't wait to be back in WA, the thought seems so abstract and the idea of making it concrete kind of terrifies me.
Of course, I bawled like a baby the night we moved out of our condo for our REMODEL. My H was like, 'Uhhh, you know we're moving back in here, right?' I hate change.
Would you rent? What is the timeline for the house to be completed?
@sfgal530, change IS hard . What is making you lean towards the move a little earlier (taxes obvi a good reason) - anything else? SF is great but man, Washington......drool.....MOUNTAINS

Just taxes and the fact I know I'd love it back there. The savings is pretty substantial between the loss of a state income tax (~13% in California; no state or short/long term capital gains taxes in WA) and the fact we'd be able to write off the sales tax on our house build which we can't do in CA (because you can only write off income or sales tax, not both). It's a win/win both ways on that front.
I'd actually think I'd be happy moving because we couldn't rent our condo out for 2015 (couldn't have the income) so we could come back to SF often... but I don't think H wants to do it. And it's just so SOON!
Also, personally, I would like to go back because right now I feel like I'm in limbo. I don't want to get too involved in anything because I know I'm leaving, but I shouldn't be complacent while I'm here, ya know?
Still, all I have ever really known with H is living in CA, so part of me is like, 'Well, shoot, what if we go back to WA and he's not happy?' I know I would be sad to leave CA the days I leave but man, once SF is in my rear view mirror I would be nothing but super happy about being back in WA.
These are total non-problems. I fully realize that.
I equally love both Seattle and SF, so I'm no help there, but I think your reasons for going to Seattle sooner rather than later are very logical and sound.
I wanted to address the bolded, because I had the SAME issue when DH and I moved here to So CA. I grew up here, DH had never lived anywhere but NM. I was so worried he would be unhappy, or that it wouldn't be as magical as I painted the picture to be. I should never have worried! DH has adjusted here even better than me- he loves it here. Just wanted to give you a positive boost.
MH just texted me to say that he upgraded our cable package to include, among other things, HBO. And FXX, which has recently acquired the rights to all Simpsons episodes (excluding the current season, which sucks anyway).
They're running an all-series marathon in August, and the FXX app will allow subscribers to watch any episode at will.
I am ridiculously excited about this.
ARGH. Now MH is telling me that, since we have Verizon FIOS, we can't watch the episodes online/on the app for some reason.
WHY DID YOU NOT CHECK THIS BEFORE YOU UPGRADED THE CABLE PACKAGE
So he just got done whining about that, after a couple hours of complaining that the Jawbone Jambox I bought him in 2012 doesn't work. He called their customer service to explain what was wrong and they were basically like, "And ... ?"

Maybe they aren't problems, but I totally hear why you're going back and forth! It must be a little limbo-ish for you (though not terrible, obvioiusly) to not really be able to dig in with any of your volunteering, for example, knowing this is not your forever home. Keep us updated! I hope you move sooner . Will you have to change your screenname if you move??!
