OSHA training is not for the faint of heart. So far I've seen pictures of NASTY electrical burns and read dozens of case studies about people doing shit like getting dump trucks dropped on their heads and accidentally shooting coworkers from 27 feet away through a hollow wall with a powder actuated nail gun.
Did not watch the Emmys. Now I'm tooling on Twitter and discovered Josh Malina's feed. His tag line? "Hi. I ruined the West Wing." I love Josh Malina. lol!
I have nothing to do today. I thought I was going to get more work, but that turned out to be nothing. Sigh. I should just plan what to do at The Big E today.
Two and a half days and I'm done! I'm holding on by my finger nails. I'm less motivated than usual to actually work on work.
I meant to PM you! Did you check out the shoes? How is the packing going?
So your easy spirits aren't local! I went to called two rack rooms and they didn't have them and i was going to srive across the bridge to go to the easy spirit store but I went to the sketchers store across the street from my office Friday. I found a pair of slip on sneakers that are awesome! And I found a pair of flip flops to wear at the pool. My doc would murder me but they have a fantastic arch support plus memory foam. Tapatalk won't let me upload a pic.
Ryan Adams covering Taylor Swift = my day is made!
Favorites? I like Style and Wildest Dreams so far. Luckily flight drama today is giving me tons of time to absorb it.
Style is excellent, and I also like Wildest Dreams. Blank Space is a disappointment. Shake It Off is great. Bad Blood is good. I give the overall effort a B+ to A-.

Well at least he admits it. Netflix cruelly has Rob Lowe as the cover photo for the show. I get this false spark of hope every time I turn it on.

I don't know what is being stirred up by the renovations going on in our house right now, but it's something I'm very allergic to. I'm completely miserable as soon as I walk in the door.
The only relief I can get is to go sit in our bedroom with the door closed and the windows open and the fan blowing fresh air in. I don't know what I'll do when it starts getting too cold to do that (as it was it was in the 40s last night).
let me whine for a second here - we used the last week of my leave to take a vacation to NJ. rented a house on the water with my mama, took the boat, got to see my extended family, went out for crabs, had an early birthday party for my niece, went to the beach a bunch of times, went swimming a ton, went kayaking, went fishing with my grampsy, went for bike rides - I had a delightful time. I even got to go for a run twice.
We had an awful drive home (trailer bearing blew out, then mh didn't hear me yelling and hit the mailbox with the boat) and then MH informs me that he thought it was a waste of money and he wishes we'd just stayed home.
I thought we had a nice time. Way to totally burst the remnants of my happy vacation bubble. But glad to know you were fucking miserable the whole damn time. Ass. Not like you ever suggested doing anything you wanted to do...spent most of the time parking your ass on the couch watching TV. So yeah, waste of money for you.
I don't even know what to say to him about it. I was literally speechless when he said it and just walked off to unpack some shit before I burst into tears. I'm all full of feels because my leave is over anyway. And besides, what am I supposed to say? "how dare you not have fun? or not pretend to have fun?" It just sucks. I thought it was nice. It's the first time we've tried to take a trip with kids and it wasn't exactly a wild and crazy time for obvious reasons, but it was still fun. I thought anyway.
eta: to clarify - he never expressed any discontent while we were on the trip. Which I don't get...he's not shy about this shit. If you wanted to do something other than what we were doing why the hell wouldn't you say so???
I feel like crap. I treated myself to a banana chocolate chip muffin and a hot chocolate this morning.
I'm sorry you feel like crap but that sounds delicious!
wawa That's bullshit. Visiting family may not be the most exciting trip but you got your first trip with two kids under your belt and you're clearly going through an emotional time right now. Not cool.
Yesterday was my birthday so I have some birthday money to play with, including a $50 Sephora gift card. I've been browsing the site trying to figure out how to best put it to use this afternoon. I also mentioned a couple weeks ago that I lost a stone in my wedding ring and, since they're moissanite and not diamonds, I ordered two extra online. Well my two little 3mm stones came in today in a box that must be 9 inches by 9 inches. I haven't torn into it yet but really, how much packaging does it need!? (I also had to pay a extra when it was dropped off since it crossed the border, which sucks but at least each stone was only $24.)
Our wedding anniversary is tomorrow and I'm having a hard time getting excited about it. I'm trying to make a dinner reservation but nothing appeals to me. I also thought about just making a nice dinner at home, but I'm not going to want to do that after working all day.
Our last 2 anniversaries were kind of a bust too. The first year we had to put our dog down, last year I was sick. I was looking at pictures from the day earlier and all nostalgic and lovey so it's not like I don't care. I think maybe I am disappointed because I want it to be something super special but that's not happening on a weeknight and on a budget.
My candy bar hasn't been attracting the mouse yet. DH was just in my office and I was telling him I hadn't heard the mouse again since our encounter and thus setting the glue trap. The he came scurrying behind my desk. Saw him again and found his hole. But I have a huge U shaped desk and can't move it to get to the hole in the wall. Added a pop tart piece to my trap and hope he comes back out.

IDK what the mouse's problem is. Your trap would attract me.
I deeply regret not purchasing the disembodied skeletal arm at the dollar store. Bright side: I got a bag of (candy) blood and I (finally) got the catbug dog tag I wanted.
Now if I can just get my hands on the 40% sexier one, I'll be set.
Ugh. My H didn't get the higher level position he was up for - even though it was intimated that it was pretty much in the bag. He's so disappointed and I wish I could make it better.

I'm sorry. I'm pretty much in the same boat with DH today.

What a Monday-ish Monday. I hope there's something better for your H on the close horizon. Mine too.
