I'm jealous of the great deal of a house my friend's friend got. Hardwood floors throughout, large lot, fully landscaped, great floorplan, floor to ceiling windows, remodeled everything. It did not look like it from the outside, but wow. And the price is amazing.
A bunch of clients (including one that I work with a lot) moved into our office today because their offices in the Financial District flooded badly and will be uninhabitable until at least January, so we've offered them temporary space.
So I guess I need to dress appropriately and behave myself until then
I had an epic texting-while-walking incident while walking from my car to campus this morning. I tripped over something and went flying through the air. At some point I thought I had caught myself, but no such luck. My shoulder is really sore. (Yes, the fall was that epic. LOL)
I need to be more careful when I'm doing dangerous things like walking on an empth sidewalk!

I hope this behaving yourself doesn't include cutting back your GBCN time!
My random: working for many hours on the weekend does not improve my productivity on Monday.
I'm really annoyed with my FB feed. I *hate* the way they've changed things based on who I like. Well of course I'm only going to like the same handful of people when you keep showing me the same handful of people. I know that more than 10 people are updating their statuses. I want to see ALL my friends and the pages I like, not just the ones you think I want to see.
I'm very annoyed with this. I'm trying to not "like" whoever is in my current feed and physically click on pages that I like so I get my news updates and such. I'm starting to hate FB again.
CarolBrady - I hear you. I almost started a new post about my shit issues today, but decided it was too gross. Long story short - H left for work leaving 2 of 3 bathrooms unusable due to his shit. And the 3rd is the cats bathroom and I'm behind on scooping. Not a happy Ruby today.

On Saturday we turned our heat on for the first time. It ran for a minute, shut off, and never came back on. The furnace repair guys just left. Apparently in that minute it ran we committed a horrific murder. They found what was left of a small bird stuck in the fan :-(. I'm so thankful I did not have to see it but now I feel horrible.

I'm pretty sure that's my company! I wouldn't worry, we're kind of a slovenly bunch.
Is your company Australian? It would be funny if it was your company. But I actually know quite a few people from several companies who work down there and who are displaced from their offices still.

DH is a horrible liar. All weekend he's been talking about having to "go out and do stuff" today. Today he was like, "Okay, I'm going to go out. And do some stuff . . .that I have to do."
Dude. You know and I know that my birthday is Wednesday and you're out getting my gift. Please.

Totally agree. How will you ever like those other people if they are never shown to you. My H status updates were not in my list until I requested them. He is my H, probably I am interested, arent I?

My last day at this job is Thursday. I have no ambition to work. I just took a two hour lunch and went shopping. I've been scared shitless to try on a pair of skinny jeans but went ahead and did it today. I actually got to go down a size and they were comfortable! I couldn't believe it. My DH is going to be so happy I've finally got a pair.
I think I have found out that I don't have to pay or file South Korean taxes after DH and I move there. He won't, due to the agreements in place for military folks, but I'll be telecommuting and WFH in the apartment we'll be renting off-base, so it was a concern for my income.
It looks like the agreement that makes DH not have to deal with South Korean taxes also extends to me, so long as the income is derived from outside of South Korea (my company is US-based).
We're getting this confirmed so we can be 100% sure (yay, company lawyers!), but this is very, very good news.

This explains so much. I couldn't figure out why my news feed has been so boring and repetitive.
I've gotten a little obsessed with checking Rate My Professors. It's a terrible habit.
I got this review today:
Dr. Peppers is a horrible teacher, she shouldn't even be a professor! She doesn't know the material that she is teaching and makes the tests harder than what they need to be. She doesn't know the answers to her problem sets so you're left confused. DONT TAKE HER CLASS. IT WILL BE THE WORST DECISION.
I am guessing this is related to the exams I gave back today.
I'm trying not to take it personally, but damn, this is mean.

Aw, that sucks. It's not mean so much as petulant. You can almost hear the whining. I bet you're awesome.
I'm watching She's Having a Baby on Netflix. Elizabeth McGovern is so unpleasant.

Try not to take it personally. Sounds like she doesn't understand the material and is blaming you for not asking for extra help when she needed it. Take it as an opportunity for constructive criticism. Reiterate office hours, my career counselor started doing an online office hour twice a week, or to help coordinator a study group or something.
I've written a review like that and later retracted it. I was upset that *I* didn't get the material and blamed the professor. After nearly passing the next test and chatting with my professor did I realize I was missing a key component of the material. Just a thought.
My random....I'm getting my IUD on the 29th. ;D I'm probably more excited about this than I need to be but damn I'm excited.
