What's up guys?

[liveintheville]

I'm getting my new sofa today! Supposedly in 15 minutes!

[konapoppy]

We have our holiday party today a the team is going to a movie. I am being lazy this morning since my parents have the dogs. Tomorrow we go on a mini vacation to LA!

I'm listening to Hamilton Mixtape and trying to get work done when all I want to do is go home and snuggle with the pugs.

For the first time in my entire career, I am not going to be able to complete all my work in time for opening (mostly the trim and finishing). I'm not enough of a martyr to work 8am to 11pm 4 days in a row (I would have had a better shot had I stayed past 5 last night)

I'have mixed feelings about this, but not guilt.

We finally decided to apply for a joint credit card. I found one that had decent rewards - the Chase Freedom. I go apply. Except stupid me wasn't paying attention and I applied for the Chase Freedom Unlimited. Derp. I wanted to get the one with the quarterly cash back categories, but no. Now I just get 1.5% unlimited cash back. And they won't let me switch card types. Sigh.

What would you tip a pet sitter for the holidays?

We have a cat sitter who comes to feed and water our 3 cats, clean their boxes, and play with them a bit. Once a day for about 20-30 minutes, $22/visit. She's coming for two days while we go away after Christmas, so $44 total. We've used her three times so far this year (first time was 10 days, second and third times were 2-3 days). 

Would you round up to $60, $75, or $100? 

[UnderProtest]

Home with a "sick" kid. He puked twice last night but is fine today. This might be a LONG day.

mbcdefg I'd round up to $60. If you use her a lot more this upcoming year, do $75 next year.

Here's my randoms. We were able to move up closing on our house to Tuesday! We're about to be first time homeowners!

We have a million projects planned for the house and I am so excited.

Also, this afternoon I'm meeting with my boss and her boss to discuss my request for a raise. Eek!

[audette]

I have a business trip to WA that I leave for on Monday. I'll be gone until the 16th.

So, goodbye spare time to get anything done between now and Christmas, basically...

[nicechicken]

irene adler, I'm glad you don't feel guilty. You're too hard on yourself, and considering your boss is kind of a nitwit, and you have a co-worker who comes and goes as she pleases...
Yeah, I think that's all that needs to be said.

Why?  Lack of interest or lack of funds?

Lack of available people.

Boo.  Are they doing anything in the New Year instead or just canceling altogether?

Omfg.


I went through our daily list, and highlighted shop priority items in yellow.

My boss comes through and highlight her part of the list in the same color. Now I'm looking at an obnoxiously highlighted list with no decrement over which jobs are which . Who the fuck does this ?!?!

[hamster]

Ugh. I have a health fair tomorrow and just now realized my poster board is totally wrong. Nothing I can do about it now!

[followyourarrow]

Last night one of the kids I was coaching told me that I smell like her grandma. She told me it was okay though, because her grandma smells good.

[glynn]

Weekend with my house all to myself....

[Deleted]

So, no raise. At least not yet. But my boss's boss explained the raise process and I should get something at the time of the holiday bonus in a few weeks. There's still hope.
