I've had 3 days in a row of 5 or fewer hours of sleep. I came in today only because a meeting with a faculty member that has not shown up to two prior meetings; but I don't know if it will be worth going home and trying to sleep once that meeting ends around 12 because of the caffeine I need to get through this. I want my bed.
I work in Clayton County. There are signs on all the business telling people to keep their guns out.
I forget you work in an area where there's more reasonable people.
Yes but many of the folks who work here don't live in the reasonable areas, LOL!! My boss is also a super liberal from DC but everyone here thinks all white people are Republicans. It's HILARIOUS.
H is out of town and we have no food in the house. M and I got carry out at a local taco/burrito place last night. I may or may not have gotten extra chopped white onion and cilantro off of their salsa bar so that I can make Dahl and rice for myself tonight and not have to deal with the grocery store.
At noon CST I will be meeting with my boss and my coworker to inform him his position is eliminated. I avoided the happy hour last night. The boss kept me here until 6:30 as it was so I wouldn't have arrived until it was almost over anyway. I think he might know it is coming, because he made another appointment for 2p when he was supposed to meet with the boss.
Ugh. I hate hate hate this. HATE it.
At least he gets 30 days of regular pay and benefits after which he gets 12 weeks of severance, subsidized COBRA and outplacement benefits. He is well networked so he might profit from this.
Sigh.
ETA -
My coping mechanism was to go to a home decor store last night and buy bright yellow patterned outdoor pillow covers for my front porch chair pillows, a yellow and white striped garden flag that reminds you of lemons and says, "life is sweet" and a cute little yellow, green and blue owl to adorn the little table on the porch between the chairs. I will force myself into cheeriness, I tell you!!
Oh and then I indulged in a cup of tomato basil soup at La Madeleine.

my company is too cheap to go through normal channels to hire a receptionist and haven't tried anything but craigslist and are AMAZED that they can't find anyone who isn't a hot mess.
because hiring someone from the same source where you can get a free sofa is a great business plan.

MichelleIIOYmominatrix we are getting sued so I had to send the Attorney attendance files of other employees who have been termed for attendance issues. One of the files was of an employee who went to jail for a burglary charge while working here. She didn't lose her job and we actually worked with her. My boss was LOLing at my reaction to this and the other shit in this employees file. OMG

Did you get any sleep last night?
Not very good sleep. Instead I drafted my recommendation for him for LinkedIn so I can put it up after I meet with him, to show some solidarity in the most appropriate way I can.
eclaires, writers wont be at the con in feb, but a lot of actors will. let me know if you want me to ask anyone a question. lol!!
poor little lizzie will be there. and i kinda want to ask rosita is she thinks her outfit is the result of men creating female characters since it is totally unrealistic in the ZA
Omg do it. Do it!!!!
Ask someone if RK is as much of a miserable misogynistic douche irl as he seems in interviews.
Oh and tell them they suck at life for killing off Beth instead of Carol.

apparently talking later means sequestration in the basement and ignoring me. Oh and I have to initiate talking. I laid into him this morning and now, he said we are not in a good place, that we can't talk to each other and he wants to cancel the overnight trip on Sunday. I am so fucking miserable and upset and he doesn't seem to get that maybe being alone and having to talk to each other might be a good thing. No kids/ no interupptions.
I just went to the bathroom and discovered my underwear is inside-out.
Been there. I also had a day in the last few months where I put a pair of thong underwear on sideways - like one of the leg holes was at my waist and the waist was around my leg. After and hour of squirming and muttering I got things figured out.

My thesis adviser doesn't know what she wants out of my thesis and its really frustrating me since the deadline is so close. I'm really starting to feel like the stress isn't worth it since I don't even need to do it to graduate.

Melissa W. I'm sorry your DH is not open to talking. A trip this weekend, could be good for you, and maybe this is wrong of me, but I'd go by myself if he hems and haws about canceling it and it ends up being too late to do so.
