I woke up at 3am and had a panic attack about my current work project.
I really need to do my job buy no one will make the decisions I need them to make so I can do it. And in the end, the only person who will take the fall for it not being completed is me. Which will be awesome.
Ugh, I've had this happen and it sucks. Here's to hoping you get the info you need soon.
I have found a new trifecta of awful on FB: messy divorce+direct sale invite onslaught+ guilt trip of taking sides because I don't want any lia Sophia/arbonne/scentsy.
After 9 years of living in our home, we decided to finally buy end tables for the living room for our anniversary. I asked DH when and where he would want to look and he told me that he didn't care what they looked like, he just wants some place to put his drink. So I started looking online and found some that I really like. I got a quote and it is $449 for one - we need 3. I'm really bummed now because we can't spend that much money just for end tables. I've looked at so many and I just don't like any as much as that one. So now I'm thinking we'll just go another 9 years without end tables.

Post a pic, I bet MM can find something similar for cheaper.
Blah! I have been on this board for years and apparently nobody knew that I am the most sarcastic person on this planet. Sometimes my humor is missed. It's very dry I know this.

See, a (hilarious) comment like this is why I take the majority of comments on this board as sarcasm or a joke regardless of who they come from. It's all in the context clues, people. Panties need not get wedged.

I think it is because I forgot my happy face at the end of my comment. I should know after 10 years of nesting that it's the only way people know you are joking. ;D

I had this insane dream where Tony was my step brother and we were in school together. I got hurt in chem lab, where my partner was a hs/college friend I haven't seen in years. I got sent to health services to get checked out and they gave me the morning after pill to fix it (I know, WTF?) And then I was telling spouse about this and he reminded me to find Tony and swear him to secrecy and never mention it in front of our parents.

Are you insinuating some people on GBCN don't have a sense of humor!??!!? (I prefer the winking or kissy face when I post something cheeky)

It's like a condom at the end of text, it makes everything safe. (Stealing quote from men at work).
I had 6 or 7 vials of blood drawn this morning. (I lost count, it was a lot for me...)
I'm really glad I convinced my endo to use a lab on base. It'll be a bit more of a pain to get the results to the endo's office, but the two times I've used the lab associated with the endo's office it's hurt badly enough my eyes started tearing up (for only 1-2 vials). Blargh. I hate crappy lab techs. Digging for veins should not be allowed.

Some chump left a piece of fruit in the trash in my office. I came in this morning to find a swarm of fruit flies. Also, I'm doing performance reviews today & need to have the door shut for several hours while I give the reviews. I'm sure my team will be super excited about the flies.
I'm still shaking my head that paying off a mortgage on a house both parties names aren't on, with presumably shared funds is similar to Corndog Gate.
I had breakfast at home. And then a breakfast sandwich at work. Guess that will be my lunch.

We had a little fire last night in the toaster oven. Actually, it filled the whole toaster oven and flames were starting to come out of it. DH had to use the fire extinguisher, and now our whole downstairs floor smells like smoke and fire extinguisher, despite scrubbing, mopping, cleaning and throwing the toaster oven away. It's so gross. Also, thank god for fire extinguishers! We almost got right of it two weeks ago because the date showed it expired. It worked just fine!
Mostly I am relieved we didn't have to call the fire department, because our house was a mess.
I have a coworker who's been here about four months. She took over my former job, and I transitioned into a new role in our department. She's mostly picked things up really fast, but there are some things that just haven't "stuck" with her, even after me explaining the procedure multiple times. It's really annoying when I overhear her telling our boss or colleague from another department that she "never knew" about something I know I've told her a few times before. For now, if I overhear I can jump in and say, "Oh, remember we talked about this a few weeks ago..." and show that it is something we covered. But I'll be out on maternity leave starting in two weeks, and won't be here to "defend" myself. I shouldn't worry, but I don't want my boss thinking I totally neglected to explain important things to coworker.

yes.
I try to include a Ha, lol or with every use of sarcasm. People here are weird.
Let's see, my random is that I have a new obsession with eating tuna salad on cheese it's. I ate a family sized tuna package today and almost opened another can when I was done.
We had thunderstorms from about 1am until 5:30am last night. My dog is afraid of thunder so I barely slept that whole time - more or less dozed. Of course I went to bed late last night (around 11:40 after I was done reading) so I only got about 1.5 hours of uninterrupted sleep last night. I didn't go for my run this morning as a result and I'm supposed to go straight to a festival and concert after work tonight so I'm going to be EXHAUSTED after such a long day.
I wish there was something that I could do about my dog being like this during storms, but I've tried everything - medication from the vet, Thundershirt, Rescue Remedy, snuggles, scolding (to stop the barking), coddling, petting, massaging....nothing works. He barks every time. If he's not barking he's sitting on me panting and whimpering. I'm afraid our only other option is heavy sedatives and I'm not really comfortable with that.

Obama is in town today. This means getting around town is a complete clusterfuck today. The bus routes are all rerouted which I didn't know until I got on the bus this morning. Most of the streets and sidewalks around campus are closed as well so I'm still not sure how I'm going to get to class today.

Personally I would tell cw to write it down in a training notebook. Better yet have cw write the procedure for documentation ;D
My dad just called to tell me that there are 151 (yes, that is not a typo) dead elms that need to be taken down on my grandmother's lot. She passed away and he and I help maintain the property since my great aunt still lives in the house on the property.
It will take 8 days for them to get all the work done. Holy crap! It is going to look so different. Stupid Dutch Elm Disease.
On the positive side, they said that they would cut us a deal on some trees that need to be taken down on our properties.
Does anyone now where you can order those little pine trees they plant for Arbor Day and similar events? I think we will need to plant some next spring to help fill in the woods since it over 2 acres of natural area.

A (male) co-worker asked if I'm pregnant. Apparently my complexion looks different. I'm not, and told him so...but then had to decline our group lunch date because I'm not feeling well. Also, I've been in kinda a bitchy mood for a couple of weeks (due to work stress). I'm sure they're talking about me now and speculating.
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!

That sweater is lame. Guess I am not cool.
We were supposed to go camping this weekend but forecast rain for almost all of it. I am a little relieved because I felt rushed. Now we might go bowling with the nieces instead. Fun!
