Afternoon randoms ON THIS FINE WEDNESDAY

[cleo29]

This is awesome!

[meggers5]

Congrats

[eddy]

Good for you!

I just cleaned out my emails. Only keeping what I want to pass onto my replacement.

Man that felt good. I might go clean out my electronic folders now.

GET CRAZY

I have so much to do, but the baby has been very clingy since yesterday and won't let me put him down. I guess I could put him in the moby, but it's annoying when I have to bend over to do stuff because he just flops around.

Or I could just sit around and enjoy the cuddles, then rush to get everything done tomorrow before h comes home. He always tells me not to bother because it doesn't matter if the house is clean, but it matters to me. I get so stressed out when it's a mess.

[cuddlyevil]

I didn't wear a coat when I went to get lunch. AND I'm wear short sleeves.

[pittsmcgee]

Awesome! Congratulations Toledo!

2ish hours until I get out of here. The HR manager quit and she's up here tying up loose ends before her last day Friday, and it's really tense. She's not getting along with my boss AT ALL right now. I'm just in my office hiding. Pretend I'm not here. I don't want to get involved.

[FastHands]

I had to eat my lunch at 10:30 so I could fast for 6h before my stupid scan at 5:30. I was so not hungry and it made me feel disgusting, but I know I'm going to be starving by 4. And I'm also paranoid about the scan in spurts.

I have a client that makes me want to beat my head on a brick wall. It's like this:
I need A
Oh ok well here's B
Thanks but I need A in order to complete this work.
I don't understand...so confusing.
*explanation*
Ok that makes sense. Here is C.

This has been going on since November. My boss has stepped in and explained it like they were children. They just sent me completely different info "hope this helps!" No. No it doesn't help.

[MWOS]

the first two weeks of spring make me want to smoke a lot of good pot, drink peppermint tea, and read the Lord of the Rings trilogy. every year I feel this way.

[deanlicker78]

I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow so I have been working my butt off this week. I worked a full day Sunday so that I would only have to use one vacation day. I ate while I worked and skipped lunch the last 3 days.

Even though I'm exempt and salaried, we still have to clock in and out for CYA purposes. The first three months we have to turn our card in so our boss knows we are getting our 40 hours in and then after that the cards are for our own personal use.

Our stupid book keeper went through my card today and added 30 min lunches for the last three days and let me know I'd have to work an extra hour and a half to make up for it. Then my boss let me know there's nothing she can do, it's state law.

No fuckers. I emailed the labor department and got a swift reply confirming there is no such law. Our employee handbook does not require it either. I am so sick of this place and the idiotic fuckery that happens daily.

[bbaggins]

Way to go, toledo!

I have my first date tonight with a dude. I haven't had a first date in forever. I'm excited and have to remind myself it's only a blip of time in my whole life. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I have no reason to think we won't get along well though. I even bought a push up bra. lol Wheeeeeee!

[Deleted]

Hell yeah toledo.


In other news, I ate arbys for lunch today. LOL.



I REALLY want new bedding. I LOVE my sheets. And I love two large throw pillows I already have.

But I cannot for the life of me find something to go with them. I want it to look like a luxurious hotel bed. Right now it looks sad and mismatched.

[malibu]

Way to go, toledo! You are kicking ass!

I had to watch a very boring webinar training this morning on things I already knew. I fell asleep.  My office door was closed, and the heat was on. Couple that with utter boredom and monotonous speech and I was out cold.

I've lost a total of 30 pounds now since January 8th. I have another 56 to go, but I'm pretty excited about the first 30.

[BaliHai]

Congrats Toledo!

I just went to Wendy's and ate my feelings, so... that's how my day is going.

deanlicker78, I'm sorry. That really sucks and I hope you can fight it.
I'm still so sad you're not coming this weekend.

Me too, but I won't be here at work so...silver lining!

[rex]

it's 55 degrees and sunny! my windows are open! winter might actually end.

[riffraff]

It's sunny and 80 here

I had a check at the RE this morning, and I'm responding slowly to med, which means 3 more days of shots, I hate shots.

I also do not want what I brought for lunch, but have no idea what I want.

Sorry Rex

Congrats toledo

Why do people being questioned as potential jurors talk SO MUCH?

NO ONE CARES ABOUT THAT ONE TIME YOU IRRELEVANT XYZ'D OR HOW YOU KNEW SOMEONE WHO DID SOMETHING THAT HAS NO BEARING ON THIS SHUT UPPPPPP.



I'm hangry.

So proud of you! Your progress has been inspirational!!

[LeggsBenedict]

I'm having an off day. I feel like I need to be drugged and take a 4 hour nap followed by a 2 week vacation.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

Billie, my beloved Protege5, is rusting. The winter was not kind.

I am beginning to look around for a new car, just to start my search. I didn't realize that Billie's automanual transmission was a fucking unicorn. THAT'S THE ONE THING I DESPERATELY WANT.

I am wallowing around, needing a fainting couch, because I am so sad.

[sharknado]

I want some cowgirl boots and western cut jeans.

[nahoku]

Way to go, toledo and malibu! You guys are awesome.

bbaggins, good luck tonight and I expect an update tomorrow!

My randoms: I'm excited for my mom's visit this weekend. She's been gone for 2.5 months but I feel like the time flew by.

I'm using an eyelash curler for the first time in my life. Why did I wait so long???

Can I borrow them? 

They aren't made out of cowgirls you nut

I've been wondering this for years, but moreso for the past few days. Who in the what now told Sheryl Crow that she should pursue a singing career? I mean, maybe no one did. I would hope that someone tried to gently discourage her, or forbade her outright.

I guess the real question is how does someone who sings like Sheryl Crow even decide that they should be a professional singer? And that people should pay them and attend their concerts and stuff? It really just blows my mind. She has a big set of brass balls, I'll give her that.

[noodleskooze]

I have another job interview on Friday! And I should be hearing back about the other job in the next few days--best case scenario is both offering me a job around the same time and being able to compare and choose.

[snipsnsnails]

I am playing Scrabble for a charitable fundraiser tonight. While my vocab is decent, I'm terrible at the strategic aspect of Scrabble. My DH obliterates me every time.

We are meeting with our accountant tonight regarding our taxes. I dread this every year, lol.

I had my first new treatment for my colitis yesterday. Praying it worked. DH was nice to come with me, however, I was pretty pissed the nurse weighed me in front of him. She didn't say the # out loud (so no HIPAA issues or anything) but of course DH just kept asking and asking me until I told him.

Why would he do this?

No, I was referring to the thread yesterday about cowboy boots

How did I miss that one?

I wonder this about a lot of singers. I think it must be luck cause it sure as hell isn't because of talent.
