I've been on the phone with Lan airlines for like 25 minutes, and she keeps asking me the same question over and over again. WTF
Have you sent your dogs to the states yet? How did they do?
Two of them are in the US with my in-laws, and the third one is flying with me in a little over a week!
The two got there safely, and are currently being super spoiled by DH's parents. We get daily reports on them, and lots of pictures. I think they love it there.
I really want to go somewhere for our tenth anniversary. I haven't been on a bonafide vacation since we stayed at The Ritz in Naples, FL in May of 2009.
Last night I was considering San Francisco -- never been, but I wouldn't mind going back to Costa Rica.

H said maybe Montreal.
Oh good, you're here!
I need to tell you that my parents would get me the exact same food from McDonald's that yours did. And they never sprung for the happy meal, because it was cheaper to buy the hamburger, fries and milk on their own. Sad face. lol.

San Francisco isn't anywhere near as cool as Costa Rica or Montreal, if that helps

Yeah, I hear that. My mom was a no Happy Meal mom. I had a Happy Meal exactly one time that I recall. I think I was in sixth grade and our class stopped at McDonald's and I bought myself a Happy Meal. It was exhilarating really, lol. I was more excited for the toy than the food.
And thanks for the heads up on SF. I've been to Montreal and Costa Rica.
I haven't been to Chicago, H has though and if I remember he thinks it so-so.
I'd like to go somewhere that I haven't been, maybe.
Here's a random for you. I was just thinking about the time I mentioned to the male and female worker guys/ janitors, who came in to fix something in the shower next to mine in the gym locker room (while I was showering), that they really need to warn people if a male is going to be in the locker room. And the man said "yes, I totally agree. They definitely do warn people."
And then I realized that he was a lady. And then I died.

lol, I remember this! I love you, weeble.
haha, it was mortifying! I used to see that janitor around after that, and I'd hide my face in shame.
My Husband has a stomach thing going on, he doesn't know if it's from something he ate or what, but he's at work. And I asked him how his stomach was and told him to drink lots of water. And he's all "it still feels like crap, but hey, I'm being paid to poop."
Living the dream right there, husband, living the dream.
FUCKING VAGUEBOOKING. Man. A good friend just posted that she has a deep dark secret that she wants to spill, but can't. Then there are 40 comments of people trying to guess, and her shutting them down. I want to pm her, but I'm sure she's being flooded with messages.
Random: I helped a friend move into a new apartment today and I'm pretty sure he never cleaned since we helped move him into that one two years ago. I picked up his box spring and a whole slew of his shed body hair from the past 2 years was now all over my arms and boobs...FUCKING. EW. I also was sweating so it took forever to come off.

She's pg.
Nope, she says she's held on to this secret for at least 2 years. That's what everyone in the comments keeps guessing, but I'm positive that's not it.
She's being really serious about it. I'm thinking either she's a lesbian, or some kind of ED/self harm. Or maybe she hasn't been paying her taxes. IDK.

I went to my first ever yoga class tonight. I came home tired and sweaty as hell, but it was AWESOME. I'm totally not good at any of it, but I'm going back next week.
I've had offsite programs at a Girl Scout day camp all week, and I'm tiiiired of it. I just want time to get some work done!
I'm feeling extremely burnt out at work, but I can't really get a break. Bummer.
I'm coming in here just because I feel the need to say that the necklace is a cock. Whether it's meant to be a glove, bullet, missile or what have you, it's still a cock.
I had a pity party for myself and cried today. We went to go look at a local daycare since we are trying to take the first steps to getting E more socialized and my MIL her time back. They refused to answer any tuition questions until after the tour. They gave us the hard sell, tried scaring us into signing up and then dropped the amount on us. I feel hopeless that we will EVER be able to afford daycare. Take that and couple it with having the smallest answer in the "How Much Do You Make Thread" and I am feeling hopeless and fucking poor. I'm just in a really bad head space and feel like shit, like I'm never going to make decent money to live reasonably ever.
*Pity Party of one here!*
{{{peony}}} i get you re: salary. And that daycare pulling that shit is crap. Don't go there. That's fucking ridiculous. Keep looking for a place that will be upfront and honest about everything.
Thanks. In regards to the daycare center- I just don't know why they don't list tuition on their website. Quick and easy. That way I know what I am getting into and if we can even afford it instead of wasting time and resources to know as soon as they tell me how much, it's not doable.
I had a great day at work. It really reminded me why I love my job. On my lunch break I went to a used clothing store. I bought a pair of Rock and Republic jeans, Sevens jeans, a Guess dress and top, and one other fancy top and necklace. It was less than I would pay for 1 pair of jeans new!! I'm excited another great moment of the day is when I realized how tidy the house is. With H gone this week, the house has never been cleaner and I can actually sleep! Good week so far.
I went last week. Waited 40 minutes for something they were supposed to MAIL TO ME but they mailed to the wrong address.
Got up to pay the $3 for replacements, and he scoffed and pushed my paperwork back. Turns out "cc machine has been down all day. Duh."
I didn't have cash.
My head exploded.
It took everything I had not to choke him as I asked why they couldn't put a sign up.
The guy in the line next to me unsolicited tried to offer me advice as my fat pregnant ass was nearly in tears tody. Then he basically called me dumb it took all I had to not scream fuck you to everybody. I also didn't get what I need and have to go back.

I find out in 3-5 days if I got the Geico job. Pllllleaaaaase say that I got the job!
I scheduled my 2nd interview with another company on Monday, so if not Geico, then hopefully this one.
I feel that the other job I interviewed for pulled the bait-and-switch on me. It was my understanding that I'd be doing the same job as my friend but apparently not. I would be responsible for driving up as far north as Escondido and as south to the border just to pick up a couple of clients and drag them to the east county building. I feel that's too much wear and tear on my car for $9/hr. especially when I'm supposed to pick them up and drop them off during prime rush hour traffic. But I'm still going tomorrow to "shadow" a supervisor and get a feel of what the job entails then make a decision if I want a 2nd interview or not.
I can't wait for Friday. I'm going on a girls night out since......ever. My friend is in town until Sunday and her birthday is on Friday and she wants her besties there for a small party/"catch up" sleepover. A night without H? Fuck yeah!

I worked a job in this field and there was a community vehicle that just needed to be checked out in advance. You should ask if they have something like that. I used my car for most things because we had an allowance, but I checked out the van when travelling long distances. Admittedly this was rare because I was usually in an office and would transport a few people at a time, but it's worth a conversation.
Eta: that was meant to address your second paragraph. I worked for a large community and only used the van or my car when there was some extra special gathering. I would still ask for compensation of mileage in your position, solely based on my previous experience.

Unfortunately, no company car. They asked in the phone call to set up the first interview if my car was working and currently registered. At the interview, they asked me again if my registration and car were up to code. You use your own vehicle in this job. My car is just too old and starting to fall apart to be traveling great distances every day. I knew I would use my car, but I thought I'd be more localized like my friend.

I'm sorry. My edit was to include mileage compensation, which I was projecting from my experience to apply from job site to job site. I glossed over the fact that you would have to travel to the work site. Once again, I should just shut up and sit in my corner.

OMG I just did a google search of my user name and just got hits on all sorts of reputable things, but with my avatar on the list of google images. So I'm essentially shaming this name. That I picked for an undying love of Hemingway and alliteration. Sad panda. No google image no!
