I hate being part of (or not apart of) drama in the workplace. I usually stay out of the drama because I don't have time for it but department head is so horrible. She talks about everyone behind their backs and Yesterday, I asked her to do something for 3 students who are very behind. And she did it but had very negative things to say to the other teacher and therefore, didn't really rectify the situation. (The kids will be left behind) and then she ran off to another teacher and told them. I'm incompetent for asking. Arg/ugh..
Okay maybe mine is a vent but I needed to get it off my chest
I woke up to a dream that I was making lasagna and the Italian lady selling me the cheese was showing me how to stuff pillows (apparently laying against pillows is integral to enjoying lasagna) to the tune of "I See You" by Luke Bryan.
I'm supposed to go to a Halloween party tonight but I woke up feeling like I'm getting a cold. Blaming my date because he was coming down with one according to his text Sunday. Womp womp

She sounds horrible. I'd have half a mind to be all, "I heard you had a hard time lending your time for me yesterday. Is there another person I should ask for help in a pinch with these trailing students? I'd hate for this collaborative environment to go to waste." but since she's the department head I'd probably just come up with these things in my head and thank her a little too brightly.

Sounds like you two need to have a sick date, stay in and have soup together. Do you have plans to see him again?
I can't wait to get my hair done Saturday, I feel so blah and drab. I need a little spiffing up. I also need to shop for more maternity stuff, I'm gonna check out a store at the nearby outlets.
Still waiting to hear back from the courts about xh. Fingers crossed they give us a date for the emergency order soon. My old county is SLOW. Xh thinks he has a visit on Veterans Day and technically he does. Yikes.
I'm pairing with another young advisor in my office to present a proposal to a prospective client today. She and I are so excited to work together on this account and future accounts. I think it's going to be a very good thing. We both bring a lot to the table!
I had lunch yesterday with one of the guys who helped me move that I know from back home. For now we're just friends but we've been texting daily and I really enjoy his company. He's a cowboy with a masters degree. He is also hilarious but his divorce is recent so I'm really comfortable just being friends for now. I adore his personality.

I'm getting my drab hair done on Tuesday!
Yup we have plans Saturday I think-not set in stone yet. We talked about my infamous Freedom Crawl to which liu can attest is really waking through the Common along the Trail to Bell in Hand and finishing up at Beantown Pub. This would be followed by an apartment tour of someone's place

I had a hollow day yesterday and ate everything I saw! I expected to weigh a million pounds this morning... I weighed the same as the day before! Time to actually pay attention and eat healthy again.

I was really sleepy yesterday but I assumed it was just work related stress. This morning I woke up feeling like I have a cold - my throat is sore and my head is stuffy. Hopefully I will be better for Halloween, even though I don't have a costume finished yet.
This morning is my annual performance review, yuck.
I woke up in the middle of the night last night all "Oh fuuuuuuuuuuck! I forgot to do something important!" Then I was all, "Pshhh, it's Saturday! You can sleep in!" Then realized, nope, it's fucking Thursday. I feel like this week has been two weeks. I was at work for 14 hours Tuesday and 12 yesterday. Kill me.
I think I may be a bit of a people pleaser. Not people in general, but my friends. A friends pleaser. Other people I don't give a shit about. But, I feel like I can NEVER say no to plans and I end up over booking myself on weekends. I feel like I need a weekend from my weekends. BLAH! I need to learn to say no.
On the friend pleasing front-I am driving to Tulsa after work tomorrow to go to a Halloween party. Granted, she is my BEST FRIEND and I rarely get to see her, so, I am excited to go. BUT, I have to drive home EARLY and go to work in the morning. THEN I have ANOTHER PARTY of my other LOCAL BEST FRIEND (I give out that title to too many people, I fucking swear) that I feel like I HAVE TO go to. Her H had emergency surgery to remove his appendix a few weeks ago, so she was unable to attend any of our usual Halloween traditions (The friend who throws the over the top party-talking liquor bar, candy bar, their costumes and makeup professionally done; frightfest; and Scream marathon). I would feel bad if I didn't come to the ONLY Halloween thing she will be at. I just want to catch up on laundry and watch trashy TV.
I slept deeply but had a lot of vivid dreams so I am really tired.
I came into an e-mail telling me something I should have been told three weeks ago. If I see the parties involved, I may throw my broken stapler at them or shout "FUCK ALL Y'ALL!" then leave and go get a pitcher of margaritas.
I cringed this morning. The art teacher was out supervising drop offs and she was talking to another mom who is hugely pregnant. Art teacher said, "You know, we adopted my son and I have to say that carrying him around in that infant carrier was the WORST. It's so heavy!" Pregnant mom said, "Yeah, but imagine the weight of your husband on you every day for a month and then lugging around 30 pounds on your body for the better part of the year. You had it so easy!" The face the art teacher gave was heartbreaking. Pregnant mom waddled on. It's a moment where you want to rush in front of the lady and start shoving the words back into her mouth.

This is why I try to avoid her at all possible costs she doesn't usually bother me but this year she has gotten all uppity because she has an intern. This year she has been leaving her intern and just walking around campus for gossip. I feel like she will hang herself but it just sucks and blows my mind. I wonder how she can be an educator.

Noooooooooooooo. A-the bolded? OVERSHARE! B-adopting is not EASY! WTF? I don't know art teacher. She may have tried for YEARS to be able to lug 30 extra pounds on her body and not been able to. That is not EASY. I want to punch the pregnant lady. Is that wrong?

OMG what an ass that art teacher is! At least she will raise compassionate children.

I woke up with a horrible headache this morning. I drank some coffee and took some Advil so I'm hoping it goes away soon.
I missed a call last night from the guy that I'm actually excited about. Is this a thing now, them calling you? I much prefer texts.
Well I texted back and we are still on for tonight, but I don't know where or anything. I brought my "getting ready" stuff to work so I will just get ready here.
I finally fired my horrible divorce attorney and got a new one. She chatted with STBXH's attorney and today I'm meeting with her to see what her impressions are. I'm ridiculously nervous. I have no idea what STBXH might have told his attorney. So far there haven't been lies; I really hope I'm not going to hear a bunch of lies about myself today.

What an ass @bigtowlittletoe!
Yay for Thursday! I went to a basketball game last night with my mom so I didn't get home till late. It is going to be a multiple cups of coffee kind of day.
I decided that I am going to be super lame tomorrow and not go out or dress up. The thought of my couch, my pajamas, takeout and catching up on the DVR just sounds so nice. I have a busy rest of the weekend so I REALLY want a relaxing night. Lame party of one over here.

Wow. Although I should say nothing surprises me anymore. What a horrible bitch.

I have class tonight, but I actually like this class, so it should be a good time.
We're hosting a Halloween Party this weekend. We've come up with games and prizes!
I don't plan on dressing up at work tomorrow. They sent us an email saying that costumes are encouraged... I'm not sure I'm feeling it, though. I might just dress up tomorrow night when I am handing out goodies to the kiddos.
Speaking of, what times do kids normally Trick-or-Treat? 7-ish to 9:30-ish? FI and I were trying to figure that out last night and he thought that 9:30 seemed a little late, but the kids don't have school the next day, so I was actually thinking 10?
I'm still not feeling that great but had to get up early to go into work for ebola training. Fun times learning how to put on and take off the hazmat suit. Yes I feel totally prepares now that I have watched a 5 minute video and have put the suit on one time. Sarcasm.
Excited to take DS trick or treating tomorrow. He's going to be such a cute little Olaf. He's never been trick of treating before but he's getting the idea and seems excited.
I have been several times and while I definitely recommend that you hit up Bourbon Street, I actually prefer Frenchman Street.
As for food, I recommend The Camellia Grill, Domilise's Po Boy and Bar, a lot of people recommend Cafe Du Monde (while, I am not a fan, everyone else loves it). There's another place I ate that I loved, but I can't remember the name of it! Shoot. I will try and remember later. The mall there serves beer and I took a Haunted Ghost tour when there I was there for Halloween. It was your typical tour, but still a ton of fun!
Thanks! When you went for Halloween, did people just dress up on Halloween or did they dress up the day after? We are bringing 2 costumes for Friday and Saturday night. Not sure if it'll be needed.

I think people will be dressed up Saturday, as well as Friday. I would definitely bring two costumes. It's kind of a free for all there, and people dress up all the time. HA.
@bigtowlittletoe I want to punch that woman. How insensitive! Pregnants that think they're the first person to ever procreate irritate the shit out of me.
I have a job interview today! I emailed my cover letter and resume yesterday at lunch, and the owner of the company called me back an hour later. I'm really excited, I looked at their Facebook page and I really feel like the company would be a better fit for me. For one, they celebrate Christmas, which makes me incredibly happy (I used to run the adopt a family program at my old job and i've missed it). For two, I would get to manage social media. YES. Pay is the same, but that's a-ok with me. I just want a place where I fit in.
@stpete, I don't think anyone will get annoyed that your posts are about your bd...because it is a really HUGE deal!
WinterIsComing you can rest on Friday, we will TURN IT UP on Saturday.
Cleraly, I am in a RANDOM CAPITALIZATION mood.
I am excited that I am getting my hair done tonight, I am bummed that I will be wearing a wig tomorrow, so I feel like all the glorious professional styling will be wasted.
