Tuesday Randoms

[Eureka1984]

The Tampa Bay Lightning lost. We were so close to winning and we lost. I'm bummed.


Last night, an old FWB contacted me because he broke up with his girlfriend. I haven't said anything. I want to but I know better. I just need to stay strong and vent that he contacted me.

Looks like I am going to court for DD's schooling. Her dad is being stubborn, lazy and playing the martyr.

[sweetchix]

Seriously? This is a message I got on POF just now. I'm sure there are some women who would take him up on this but, really? No thanks creep!

[winecat]

My crawl space flooded. My furnace is down there. I'm not sure what to do. Do I call my insurance company?

[imalwaysme79]

I'm home from work sick today. It's my first time ever calling out at this job (4 years). I feel like I got hit by a truck.

[lookingup]

I'm two hours into the work day and I'm SO ready to go home. On my agenda tonight is building a resumè. I'm just over this job and ready to get back out there again.

I have another date with the man of my dreams tomorrow night. Did I mention he's leaving Friday for a month in Alaska? It will go by quickly, I'm sure.

I just got the exciting news that I will be going the the WhiteHouse and and a major congresswoman's parties for the fourth of July. I just sent in my paperwork to go to the White House. I'm so crazy excited. I'm a huge political nerd so I'm practically falling all over myself.

Also my boss gave me a 10K raise last night for all the hard work I've been doing. I asked for a certain number, the same I had at my old job, I know, I know negotiate, but I'm working for a friend and I knew at the time the company financials weren't in a place to pay me more. However were now bringing on more clients and he was like you need to be paid more!

OMG best day ever!!!

[lookingup]

Congrats on your raise, @pdx18!

[bl]

For some reason my browser at work is being weird, so I can't like anything. Congrats @pdx18 thats awesome!

[pantsoffdanceoff]

@pdx18 AWESOME!! All of it!

I'm still a little stuffy and I'm ready for this cold to be gone!

I decided that I am going to start seeing a therapist and did some research last night. I've been pretty depressed and my good friend from work asked if maybe I was depressed and I just started crying. I think I try and work so hard to just smile and not really talk about my feelings because I don't want to bore or bother anybody, probably why I haven't been posting a ton lately. The therapist focuses on female issues and self esteem and whatnot. I'm excited to hopefully get out of this funk soon.

I just got home wow what a nightmare. O'Hare was insane this morning. 400 flights were canceled last night. Almost every hotel was sold out and tons of people were sleeping in the airport. I slept terribly last night too (although fortunately I had a hotel room!). Ready for a nap

Yes call! But it probably won't be covered unless you have flood insurance

[Deleted]

I have a boss I've been trying to avoid. If she hands you a project, IT MUST BE DONE RIGHT THIS MINUTE!!! She put a project in my inbox and asked me about the data-entry-intensive project I had spread on my desk. Type-tab-type-tab-enter-type-tab over and over again. Not 5 minutes later, she walks back by and said, "Did you see I gave you the X project?" FFS lady. I have thirty more pages of my current project to complete before I can even gloss over what you need. And it's this way about everything. Every.thing. And this is after multiple Come-to-Jesus discussions and emails about expectations and priorities. I'm going to be blunt the next time she stops by (likely this hour) because her turn around expectations are simply ridiculous.

I need a nap.

I'm going to a dinner tonight and stopped by the liquor store at lunch for a bottle of wine to bring. Odd mix of people in there at lunch time.

My college FWB does this, drunk texts for sex claiming it's okay b/c I'm "grandfathered" in - it's not cheating on his GF if it's a circle back.  Noooooooooooooooooooo.

What?!?  Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo is right!

[jigsy]

In good Jigsy news, I have an offer on the house I'm selling with ex. Full asking price if we pay closing. We countered with paying for closing up to a certain amount. So hopefully that will do it!
Yay!

My random is that I hate UPS with the fire of a thousand suns, and I want to stab the local "customer service" people in the ass with a fiery hot, rusty poker. Figuratively of course.
They lost my Apple Watch, then magically found it when i put in a claim, now it is lost again. Plus the chick who called me to say it was found was a snatch.

Quoting myself. It gets weirder and weirder. UPS called me to say it was indeed on a truck, and I should get it by noon or so. 
Then Apple emailed that since it was missing, they have created an order for a replacement and will be shipping it posthaste. Oh dear. So awkward. 

Hmmmm.....sounds like someone at the local UPS service center has themselves a new Apple watch. Hopefully it's like an iPhone and can be deactivated by Apple.

I'd call them, but flood insurance is a separate policy usually.  I would call and make a claim and ask them to email you your policy to see if it is covered.

[jojoandleo]

I want to just up and quit my job, but I can't. I am so tired of my boss being a total ass. He basically insinuates that I am lazy and never work. I bill 180-200 hours a month. BILL. Fuck you, dude.

THEN, he emails me all the time on these cases to get settlement checks, etc. Well, I can't do that until I have a lien check and the paralegal I work with WON'T FUCKING RESPOND TO MY EMAILS TO DO A LIEN CHECK! I emailed him almost two weeks ago-no response, no paralegal folder even opened yet. I emailed him Thursday, no response, no paralegal folder still. The hearing is in two weeks. I NEED TO ORDER FUCKING CHECKS, DUDE! AND, my boss won't yell at HIM over this, noooooo, he will yell at me. WTF am I supposed to do? I don't know how to do a lien check. I would fucking do it myself if I did, even though I CAN'T BILL FOR THAT SHIT.

I will do that.  I don't think you can buy flood insurance unless you're in a flood plain though. (From what I remember when we had the massive floods here a couple of years ago.)

I had a good day. I visited two historic sites in a city south of here and then visited a 3rd for a professional organization in my field. I met some new people and generally just had a good day!

Tomorrow is my interview. EEEEKKKKKK!

[alleinesein]

I just devoured a root beer float  :beer:

I have an in person interview with an actual manager on friday!!!!  I finally made it past an HR screening.  It's an admin position but it is an international company and in a totally different field than any of my past jobs.  

I am rocking my new sleep shirt that I convinced my mom to buy for me.  I am so tempted to turn it into a fun summer shirt because its just too damn cute!

I think one of my (completely indoor) cats has a boyfriend. There's an alley way between my house and the next house and windows on the sides of the houses that face eacother. I have blinds and curtains--but my cat always sits on window sills..on all windows. However, lately she's been particularly fond of the side living room window. I opened the window last night (there is a screen) and this morning when I went to close it..she was rolling around on the window sill and a beautiful main coon looking cat next door was in his window staring at her. She pushed so hard on the screen the her claws tore a hole!!!
She's been acting a little nutty lately running around the house and maybe this is why!!??
