Vents/confessions/randoms? (TUES edition)

[audette]

DH is super stressed at work right now. He's getting dumped on, and he has an important qualification thing going on, too, so it really sucks.

We've barely seen each other since August - he was gone, then home, but working crazy hours, and then gone again, then I was gone, and now I'm back for a week before I go again. We'll have another week until he's gone again, and then after that another week until I'm gone again.

Whee.

He'd completely forgotten about my next trip, and when I mentioned it this morning he damn near started crying. I feel pretty crappy about it.

I really like the new Ke$ha song "Die Young" ::hangs head in shame::

Morning sex isn't my favorite. I need coffee before I can get that active, plus morning breath is so icky and we're both too lazy to get up, brush our teeth and then climb back into bed to get it on. I like afternoon sex much better!

I thought it was bad last night.

Agreed.

It's been bad for a while though. I'm also not sure why I keep watching. I think I'm just determined to find out who the mother is.

People who pay way more attention than I do have concluded its going to be Barney's sister by the dad he recently met. I can't remember all the evidence to support it, but there was a fair amount there ...

I feel like I'm in a weird life place right now. Like I'm in a holding pattern while waiting for change. Which I both want and don't want to happen.

Makes sense. When Barney went to his dad's house to first meet the family, his dad mentioned that they have a daughter who is away at college. So that could be the girl in the economics class.

Ted meets The Mother at the train station on the day of Robin and Barney's wedding. They've never said that she was AT the wedding, but when she gets on the train platform she's wearing a dress and fancy heels so she could've been a guest. But she's also carrying her bass guitar, and why would she have that as a wedding guest ... maybe she's in the band playing at the wedding?

And Future Ted calls his friends Aunt Robin and Uncle Barney, so Barney could actually be their real uncle if Ted marries Barney's sister. But he also says Aunt Lily and Uncle Marshall. My friends tell their baby I'm his "Aunt MB" and I'm not related to them in any way.

I dunno. I'm sticking with it to see how they end it (PLEASE let this be the last season) but it hasn't been good in a long time. The last episode that really impressed me was the one last season when Robin finally moves out of Ted's place.

I love morning sex. I do not require coffee or teeth brushing. In fact, I prefer it while I am still sleepy AND to go one step further. I like it when DH wakes me up this way and I often don't even open my eyes from being asleep until it is over.

Me too! Except my DS sleeps in so we get to do this fairly regularly. I am ever so thankful

I have office hours right now. I just left to go to the restroom, and I left my office door open. (My purse is locked in my desk.) When I got back, a student was sitting INSIDE my office waiting for me. Hello, creepy creeper! I guess I should close the door in the future.

Vent: trying to evict my renter is a headache and NJ makes the process so painful for good landlords stuck with horrible tenants. i only hope my house sells.

All of the drama with ML over gypsy/Kore makes me sad. I just don't get the hate being thrown back and forth.

I ate too much at lunch today. I wish my pants had elastic in them. But dam, it was good.

[lanyac]

My cells are contaminated, and I have a big 12 hour experiment tomorrow. Bleh.

I hate morning sex (well, sex in general) and coffee! Maybe I'm such a bitch all the time because I'm un-caffeinated.

Exactly. Also, ML moves waaaay too fast.

Oh man...I went to Atlanta for a wedding a few months ago and the rehearsal dinner was there. Totally had that chicken. Was one of the highlights of the whole trip.

Vent:

We (partner, another associate (D), and I) are filing a motion for summary judgment today.

We met with the partner at 6 last night to discuss changes. D and I put the changes in the document, and sent it to the partner at midnight.

At 8 this morning, partner replies to an email from the client asking for another copy of the draft. Client is in London, so he's 5 hours ahead of us. When I get into the office, partner is behind closed doors in his office (I think reading the draft). D and I proofread again and take care of administrative stuff.

Partner finally opened his door and came into my office maybe 15 minutes ago to ask when we'll have something for the client. I'm like "I'm proofreading and am about halfway through the draft?" He gets cranky at me about how the client is 5 hours ahead, the clock is ticking, blah blah blah.

So just now he walked by my office again, again being cranky. I ask if he had any comments on what we circulated last night. He said "Did you send me something last night?" So he hadn't seen the draft, we were waiting on sending it to the client, etc. And when I told him that yes, we sent something at midnight, instead of apologizing, he was like "I didn't see it. The client wanted it hours ago blah blah blah" as if it was our fault.

ETA: and this is the second time he's done this this week. Yesterday a client asked if he could see a draft of an affidavit, and he forwarded the email to D and me with a "Good question. I'd like to see it myself" We had sent it to him on Friday morning.

I had a boss like this. I would go in my archives and send the original message with RESEND in caps in the front of the message title line.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

OMG.

We thought about walking across the street to get some dessert to go from Alon's, but my friend needed to get back for a conference call.

All of this. I wanted to get involved on ML, but it feels like it would take a lot of work to get in with those girls. I'm not even really "in" on this board as it is, I think.

Pregnancy hormones have made me want so much sex lately, but the thought of morning sex is still gross. Morning breath and laziness trump sex. Even though I got turned down the other night when I tried. Sad.

I am teaching the ideal gas equation this week, which includes a lot of discussion about P and V (pressure and volume). Every time I say "P and V" I giggle to myself because it sounds like "P in V."

[phunluvin82]

I'm NOT a fan of morning sex...or mornings, in general. Don't wake me up, don't touch me, leave me alone in the morning.

Speaking of waking up, DH is often awake & internet surfing at night long after I'm asleep, and the other night, he woke me up to tell me that Breaking Amish is all fake. I'm irrationally upset about it (the show being fake...not the waking up, though I could have done without that as well...).

[kcd0531]

I miss having sex on the regular; but DH and I rarely go to bed at the same time - especially now that DS is here - and I'm getting kind of resentful that he makes such a big deal about how 9:30/10 is too early for him. He says he is job hunting online after I go to bed but I think he is really watching TV, playing games on FB and/or the Xbox. I should probably say something but I'm too damned tired.

Also, I sent out my resume and a cover to a company that I adore and I'm trying not to get too excited about the position but it is so up my alley and in an area that I would be over the moon happy living in. Ring, phone, ring!

However, DS has killed morning sex, unless we want to have it at like 6am on the weekend...and even though it is fun i need sleep.

Waking me up by trying to have sex with me is a good way to get yourself stabbed.

I am not a morning sex person.

Same here.

I'm sincerely regretting ever suggesting attending a local GTG today :N:

I'm a little sad that we've received so many "no" responses for the bean's party this weekend.
