Wednesday's Randoms, Vents and AW's

[Deleted]

I know it is early but I want AW (just a tiny bit) myself because I found my way overdue library book. It was stuck behind the radiator pipes and I just happened to spot it. I was just so excited because otherwise I would have had to pay for the book ($18), not very MM. So I finally got to check out books yesterday for the first time in forever. I know it sounds kinda dorky but if you've misplaced a library book you know the relief when you find it.

Yay for finding your book and being able to check out books. Definitely have been there. Happy Reading!

It's Wednesday, so that means it's Farmer's Market Day, which means chicken empanadas for lunch. Yum!

I'm on my third day of county jury duty, and I'm actually enjoying it. My company still pays when you're out for jury duty, so I'm getting to sit around catching up on all my magazines and books instead of dealing with work. Good stuff.

My supervisor is giving notice today. I'm nervous for what this means for me and our division of the company. I don't feel 100% confident that I could step into his roll, but I know that my company tends to bump people up before they are qualified.
I've got my list of demands ready should they ask me. So thankful that he gave me the heads up before he talked to our big boss.

Hi Blessed!! I thought about you this past week. DH and I were watching shark week, and they have tours of Seal Island (just south of Cape Town) where you can see great white sharks jump out of the water to feed on the seals. I thought it would be an amazing thing to see...

My work has gotten crazy. And my staff has started making a lot of mistakes, so today I get to deal with 2 new problems that I read about last night when I was trying to clean out my emails. Sigh.

I need to get up and go to work, but there is a purring kitty planted firmly on my blanket and I don't want to disturb him. I wish I could stay here with him all day.

I want to murder both the partner and the junior associate I'm working with.

I feel this way on a regular basis. I hate being stuck in the middle.

I was not that grossed out by the peeing in a cup post. I was stuck on a conference call once and considered peeing in my trash can. I can understand not being able to slip away to the bathroom.

I wish I could pull the trigger on a Kate Spade bag. I've never spent over $50 on a bag.

My husband got up an hour after his alarm went off. I have been awake since it went off the first time. We are going to need to have a talk about this.

I showed up at 9 am for orientation, only to find out that the meeting listed on my orientation schedule was for a committee of which I am not a part. WTF, I could have slept for another hour!

I think my landlady wants me to move. When we arranged our set up, we agreed that august would be a trial period for both of us because I had some reservations regarding the location, and she had never rented a room so wasn't sure she'd like it much.
Last night, there was a note under my door that said since I hadn't said otherwise, she assumes I will be moving out on sept. 1, and that's fine with her.
I haven't even been here a week to really say otherwise, and I'm out of the house trying to get a job or enjoying this new city i live in.

So I'm thinking that is her way of saying she doesn't like a roommate, but putting it on me? I don't know, I guess I'll have to have an smears conversation about wanting to stay maybe another month and cross my fingers I land a job in a month.

We're getting busy at work right now. I have been keeping up, however my CW is much slower and also spends a lot of time talking/screwing around with other CW's. My boss asked me this morning if I could help CW. This makes me angry.

[jigsy]

I'm in Alexandria. I'm sure I could find something better, but the problem is that I'm looking for so short term. As soon as I find a job, I want to be able to look for my own place so DH and Jiggles can come out too. Plus, the idea of having just moved, then moving, then moving again makes me sad.

[Velvetshady]

[*poof*] don't really want those details hanging out there forever... I'll leave it at... Suck it the fuck up already.

I needed that.

I had a miscarriage. I took cytotec this past weekend to induce it because it wasn't happening naturally. I was in pain all weekend. My checkup was today, and the cytotec didn't work, and now I have to get a D&C, which is what I was trying to avoid in the first place.

I get the D&C done on Friday, and on Sunday I am supposed to be on a plane for our family summer vacation. This had all better work out!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry for your loss and that it's been difficult. Here's to hoping everything works out and you can have a relaxing vacation. :drink:

I am also in Alexandria, close to Old Town. Maybe we can get a few of us together for a GTG soon?

But seriously, The Hill would be a good temporary fix. My friend from grad school worked on the Hill, paid peanuts to live there, and she always had roomates coming & going. I think living in the "pulse" of the city would be good for you too.

Hollah if you need anything or just need to vent/chat.

For sure, I'd live to meet! I'm about a mile away from old town, out in the even more suburbs where all the people go the have families. Lol

*I start one of my classes tonight. Yippeee! (insert sarcasm font)

*I have the desire to spend tons of money. I don't know why. But I am resisting.

*I wish I was at home in bed, sleeping.

I don't know WTF is wrong with me, but I drove home crying last night from work. I was just overwhelmed and pissed off at the world. Even the smallest issues bother the piss out of me at work.

I really do feel like a failure on a lot of fronts. I am in a super funk and I hate it. Maybe I need to do yoga again? Go to therapy? I don't know...

Hugs. I've been there. Let me know if you need to chat or proofread an angry letter.

AW - I finished my 20 minute run (ease into 5k) this morning!!! And I'm wearing a dress and I think it looks pretty good

The interstate in Baton Rouge is shut down due to a multi-semi wreck. It's supposed to be closed most of the day. It's taking people hours to go 10 miles on the surface streets. We're stuck on back roads right now. Ugggg. I'll be lucky to get to work before noon.

I do not miss the traffic there. At all.

Sorry esquire

I'm about to order a set of colored pens on amazon. I'm not really but I want to. I miss school supplies!

there might be something to this no-washing-your-hair trend.

I spent monday and tuesday sick in bed and thus haven't showered since sunday. my hair looks amazing. lol. it is shiny (but surprisingly not oily) and voluminous. I'm actually sad I have to shower today.

[Awkward]

I need to remind myself that my bitter betty moments don't need to be played out in my responses on gbcn. Take a breath before hitting the 'post reply' button. Not everyone needs to know the ugly thoughts that run through my head. :drink:

[rikki]

Costco has Christmas trees and ornaments up. Seriously, we haven't even gone back to school yet.

[Kore]

Stilllll nowhere even close to work. Whine whine whine whine whine.

Noon is an optimistic estimate at this point. And the interstate may still be closed tomorrow.

:-(

[mmmomof2]

I officially started my Christmas shopping yesterday. I told DH I'm determined not to go overboard this year, but he pointed out that starting early is not necessarily going to aid this mission Hmmm, we'll see. Last year it was like FAO Shwartz moved in.

My first cup of coffee is the highlight of my day. At dinner we go around the table and tell everyone the favorite part of our day. I have to lie since it sounds so pathetic!

Can you turn around and work from home?

You're still stuck in traffic? Yikes.

My SIL is fing crazy. If I never see her again it will be too soon.
