My boss told me the day he's going to let my coworker go. He's been completely obnoxious since day 1 here. He is combative, tries to make himself look better by making others look bad, and is incompetent. I am positively gleeful that he's getting fired. We usually have a company happy hour where beer is served on Fridays, and on that particular one I think I am going to add in some champagne. I feel no guilt whatsoever about taking pleasure in his unemployment.
I'm drinking wine from a wine sippy cup because there are stupid fruit flies in the house still. I thought I found the fruit and got rid of them all. NOPE. Every few seconds a new one would fall in my wine. GROSS...
And I think I'm out of apple cider vinegar...but now I know wine works! But I don't want to waste it on the fruit flies...Life is hard.

Hisno told me to put a drop of dawn in the vinegar/wine. That worked pretty well.

My coworker, whom I like very much outside of work, is getting chastised by our boss for openly bashing another coworker. This isn't the first time she's been talked to about her attitude. I think she wanted me to be outraged with her about it, but I'm not, even though we are friends. I'm smug, because I'm the best leadership material in our small office, and any time she screws up makes me look better.
I thought DS had MSPI, so I cut out all dairy and soy. It was hard, and it sucked. But, I lost a few lbs in a month or so.
I added dairy back in, but DS was fine. I guess he didn't really have it to begin with?
Anyway, my flameful/confession is I wish he did have it because I don't have the willpower to diet on my own.
I hear you! I cut dairy and soy for DS, too and dropped down to 15 lbs below pre pregnancy weight. Then I added it back in and stopped nursing and yeah...not the case anymore. But I am still going to eat all of the cheese.

Pour some bleach down your kitchen drain, they may be coming from there.

I have watched an embarrassing number of episodes of Undercover Boss over the last few days. The stomach bug hit our house hard Saturday evening and I haven't felt like doing much of anything. I have totally went from disdain for the program, to being moved by the human interest component to now questioning how unfair the program is to the other employees in the business who didn't get to work with the "boss." I may need an intervention soon.
I just realized DS2's 2nd birthday is one month away & I haven't even started thinking about a party. I've been so caught up in our buying/selling a house fiasco all spring & summer that time got away from me.
I won't do anything big, but I feel like crap that it hadn't even crossed my mind yet!
My confession is that I do not like my new sister in law. I tried. I fake it for my brother. but what my true confession is that I am blown away by how much my sister just loves this woman. And when I ask my sister to do something and she says she is doing something with SIL it makes me ragey jealous.

Confession to add something to the thread: I took sick pleasure in seeing the dead gnats in the cup.
When I was little we always had ants in our house. I loved to squish them and make a big pile of dead ants. Then when I got home from school they would all be gone. I guess ants collect their dead buddies and give them a funeral. It was so weird!

Eh, you remembered in plenty of time. HIGH FIVE!
Except that the moving truck comes July 10th! I'd just outsource the party, but with two mortgages, they're $$$. If we're going to have it at a park, we might as well have it at our house (big open lot).
The month of July just got a little busier! Unpacking with a quick deadline is probably a good thing for me, even though it'll be stressful.

I got overly invested in this show when I was home sick too. Good luck to you!
I caught L in a lie today, and while it wasn't an earth shattering lie it was enough to make me call it quits. 2.5 years in, and major issues surrounding the progression of our relationship and his anxiety and well one lie was one more lie than needed to happen. I can tolerate mental illness as long as the person is seeking treatment.
I'm not sad, I might be later but right now I'm still riding that high if I KNEW IT!
Why do people get into relationships and then tell fucking lies about small shit?
Are we talking about eating ice cream vs the salad he said for lunch or I was at my friend's house vs. ex-girlfriends house kind of lie?
I had a shit day at work yesterday. Horrible, I want to quit level. I came home and was RANTING AND RAVING. MH was very cool about it, but then he tried to put moves on me later and I was like, "NO TOUCHING JUST LET ME DRINK MY WINE AND WATCH FUNNY INTERNET VIDEOS." And he did.

I'm sorry, this really sucks. I would feel really hurt if my sister was passing me over for someone I didn't even like. Hopefully the newness will wear off and she'll see the light.

We went to the local amusement park over the weekend and after six hours of walking around in a skirt (which I vastly prefer over shorts), my thighs were so chafed I had red, raised marks that are still healing three days later.
Normally I feel pretty good about my body, but damn, that's a blow to the old self esteem.
I hate my job so much. It is dead slow right now but in September/October it will get insane. I'm desperately trying to find a new job before then, even though it will leave them in the lurch, because otherwise I think I will totally lose my mind.
I've taken over approximately 95% of my co-worker's duties in the last few months because she is never in the damn office and can't keep up. I did so initially under the guise that it would not come with a raise just yet, because State Government and limited budget, but I am starting to get bitter that I am here all the time, doing about 95% of the work for our section, and have nothing to show for it. This particular co-worker is 3 (3!) steps above me and has been here 5 years less than I have. But I'm also very comfortable where I am at and am scared shitless of change so other than working with my supervisor to try to get another review of my job classification done, I have done nothing about it other than stew silently.
I can't figure out what the trust is so he says he lied because he felt guilty that I oculus the go.. But I dunno. He never asked if I could go.mi was strapped for cash at the time I think but fucking still. If that's the reason it's dumb as shit, if it isn't I don't even fucking know.
Thy typos here are hilarious. I can't figure out what the truth is, he said he lied because he felt guilty that I couldn't go.
Not justifiable.
I'm sorry. It sounds like you're going to be fine, which is awesome, but MEN. Jesus.

Government?
I HATE end of September/First of October. HATE. And I'm not even government! We just have a client that is and makes our lives hell!
My brothers longtime GF has been posting all sorts of racist, homophobic, Fox News shit on her Pinterest lately. I saw one today and I had to seriously bite my tongue not to say anything to her or my brother. I know she and my brother are on opposite ends of the spectrum politically, but I always wonder if he knows how far. He's probably never seen her pins.
