So...SVU is spinning Epstein.

[pixy0stix]

I have an important job interview tomorrow. I'm excited but way under prepared.

[secretlyevil]

pixy0stix - good luck!!!!

[WOT?*]

Good luck pixy0stix !

I just got the DNA results back on my dog. Turns out my Aussie mix is 100% everything but Aussie. 24% American Pit Bull, 21% Boxer, 14% German Shepherd, some Chow and 8.8% "we don't know what but maybe Rottweiler and collie..." I haven't stopped laughing for days now. His sister is SO AUSSIE and it turns out her DNA results were pretty close to his (different testing company), with zero Aussie as well. (Hers came back AmStaff whereas mine is AmPit, we both got German Shepherd and she got Shar Pei where we got Chow, etc. Not surprised at the Pit since the other sister looks 100% Pittie, with George's markings lol.)

My mom is coming for Christmas. Wish me luck, sanity and serenity.

Our city finally passed a non-discrimination ordinance! City council meeting was about 5 hrs long and the vote didn’t happen til 11! It was standing room only with the crowd spilling down the hall.

They have refused to vote on it for 6 months! Glad it finally happened. The 3 bigots that voted no need to GTFO. Which will only happen if more than 16% of citizens vote 😒

[Pom]

Good luck Pixy!

My sleep is fucked up. So I’m laying here planning a trip & a couple of 50th birthday shindigs with friends next year.

[mrsukyankee]

Remember how badass you are pixy0stix.

It's my 40th birthday today (!!!), and I'm at work. I got my free Starbucks and then got a GC from my provider as a gift. We leave tomorrow afternoon to go to a fancy hotel downtown to stay for a couple of nights. I'm so excited!

Also, I made turkey stock with the roasted carcass the other day in my IP - the stock was so amazing! I then made soup yesterday with the pulled meat, and added the wild rice and mushrooms that we had as a side, and it was so good.

[pixy0stix]

It went well! I don't think I could have interviewed any better. Part of it was simulating planning their holiday party, and if I can't do that then I shouldn't be in my current job. LOL! They said I'll know tomorrow.

[aspentosh]

pixy0stix, fingers crossed for you! Glad it went well!

[picksthemusic]

Fingers crossed for you, pixy0stix!!

[rubytue]

Yay pixy0stix!

I am so unmotivated. I’m trying to do this completely mindless task (editing meeting minute). I’ve been working on it all week, and it should have taken my one day. It’s just so mind numbingly boring, and I need stimulation. I’m trying to bribe myself saying if I get it done, I can move to some data analysis fun. But it hasn’t worked.

[secretlyevil]

I have a lot of busy work to get through and I HATE busy work so I am of course doing anything but the actual stuff I need to do.

[ChillyMcFreeze]

Yay pixy0stix!!

I posted to ML for advice, but I was offered a gigantic promotion completely out of the blue today. I had no inkling whatsoever that this was coming. I still have lots of questions I need answered, but I'm so flattered that my boss wants me to do this.

[rubytue]

OMG!! I turned in my meeting minutes! Then reviewed 3 other documents I needed to do. Tomorrow is all fun stuff!

[winecat]

My event got canceled today because of the weather. It was raining this morning when I called to be sure they wanted to go ahead but during the event time it's been clear. It's only 38 degrees so it would have been miserable for me. Rain ruins events here. I doubt people would have come out in the cold but now I'm doubting myself. Hello, anxiety. gah.

**TW**



My 51 year old cousin passed away last night from a very aggressive form of cancer. I am absolutely wrecked.

And, I know everyone grieves differently, but it is pissing me off that people are posting condolences on his Facebook page and tagging my Aunt.

[winecat]

1confused1- I'm so sorry for your loss.

[StrawberryBlondie]

I have exciting news that I can't make public till Tuesday and it's driving me crazy!

[StrawberryBlondie]

I'm sorry for your loss 1confused1

[mrsukyankee]

1confused1, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm so tired. Went to a hockey team social last night at a bingo hall - it was not your normal bingo...they had a live band and one of my teammates won a canoe. Wild. I also ate my weight in fried stuff and had beer. Work is going to be a struggle today (not hungover, just exhausted).

[secretlyevil]

1confused1 - Hugs, so sorry for your loss.

[mbcdefg]

1confused1- I'm sorry

Do me a favor, please, and tell me if you can ID this person:



I need to pick out another silly Secret Santa gift but I’m not sure if this will cut it, if he’s not instantly recognizable.
