The woman in the cubicle next to me is a grumpy geezer. She constantly swears and says things REALLY loudly like "COME ON! THIS IS BULLSHIT." I'm thisclose to saying something to her.
I wore a hat last night. It was a fun time. We almost won trivia...almost...
Might I assume it was a thinking hat?
I'm stupid, lol.
LOL. Actually it's a hat someone got at Oktoberfest. It looks like a witches hat or the sorting hat though. I asked my friend to bring it with her and she remembered. wowhead was jealous.

My child is breaking my heart. I'm trying to get him to pick a Halloween costume.
But he won't. He literally broke down crying this past weekend because "I don't want to be something else." ::sob:: "I want to be me. I want to be Bubby."
Wth do I say to that? I don't think he'll be dressing up and TOT this year
I just needed some time away, I've been mad crazy busy with work and the rescue. I had a puppy for a while and I've just been asked to replace the main foster coordinator who recently stepped down. I'll be in charge of approving all fosters, communicating with them to get them to their dog coordinators and also training them on how fostering works. I've also filed for divorce and am kind of/maybe seeing a new man.

He can dress up in his Bubby-est outfit and help you pass out candy to TOT'ers. And snack on candy bars while he's doing that. A night in with Hocus Pocus is never a bad time, right?
I told him he can stay home with daddy and I and pass out candy, but he tells me "no". I told him he can't TOT without a costume and he gets all pissy. I don't make the rules!
I swear, I wasn't pressuring him. We were just walking down the costume aisle and I pointed out a few of his favorite characters. We left the aisle and he starts sobbing about wanting to be himself!
If he ends up not going TOT, so be it. I'm just perplexed.

That's awesome that they asked you to be the foster coordinator! Kudos to you! Are you going to accept their offer?
And...spill about this man! I kind of wondered, based on your FB updates

Yep - I have been thrown into the ring already. I showed up at the meet and greet on Saturday to see my former foster be adopted and they already had me training people! I do my formal training this week and then I'm going to be set to go. I'm nervous because it's a huge responsibility, but also it's an awesome honor and it'll give me some other way of giving back other than just taking in foster dogs.
I've been seeing him at the pool all summer with his girls - he's a little older than me with two daughters - 10 and 13. He gets them half of the time. One day about a month ago we were at the pool and no one else was there and just started chatting and kind of hit it off. I don't know if it'll work out long term, but it's been nice to have a little fun and company with someone who (seems) really genuine and nice. Stay tuned! I'll text you some pics.

doglove, that is awesome!! I'm glad you are excited about your new role and I know that you will do a kick ass job! Although, I won't lie, I was kind of hoping you adopted the puppy, lol.
YES! Send me pics! And that is a great attitude about it; you seem really content with how things are right now.

Oh fu@k no, there was no puppy staying around my place. He was only supposed to be a week foster that turned into two and a half weeks. He was a little devil, no thanks! Although Buddy was a little sad when we first left him with his new family. Once we got home, he forgot all about him.

It's doglove! Love the story about how you met new guy!
My mentor at work is apparently on the chopping block...she has been told she needs to find more project work or she will be forced to take "voluntary" early retirement. Which is bullshit, as she's in more of a managerial-type, business development-type position, and she can't exactly develop business when she's spending all her damn time on project. It's upsetting, both because she's one of two people at work who I actually consider friends and because all my project work is for her, which leaves me in a very precarious position if she leaves. And the other person at work who I consider a friend is retiring in October (voluntarily). It feels like a really toxic environment here at the moment, and it is frustrating to still not have heard anything from my potential new place.

Screw the rules...if he doesn't want to dress up, take him out and cheerfully tell people he's dressed as Bubby.
doglove!!!! It's great to see you on here and the updates are awesome! Congratulations on the new position! That's quite the honor. And congrats on the new man! I hope, whatever it ends up being, it's exactly what you need and deserve right now.

:heart: I'm really torn on this. I don't want to be all "special snowflake" about it and let him TOT sans consume. But I feel bad he might miss out.
