My dog associates windex and vacuuming with the arrival of visitors because that's typically when we do it.
My friend won't be arriving for another three or four hours but my poor dog has been sitting like this now since the cleaning was finished two hours ago. I can manage to distract her here and there but as long as she can still smell that windex she is going to wait for a new arrival.

I hope your friend brings her noms and makes the wait worth her while. lol
I have plans to paint four rooms before Saturday. I did one today and am getting ready to start #2. Dumbass me is doing the easier stuff first. I'm already tired.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
I had a fucking kickass phone interview for a DigiMarketing director role this morning, which led to an in-person interview over lunch AND I was brought to the office for a quick walk through.
So seeing Elphaba sing Defying Gravity tonight seems like the perfect wrap to the day.
I gave myself sun poisoning on Tuesday and I still feel fucking awful. My shoulders are bright red and wearing a bra to go out in public today was absolute torture. I only feel slightly better when I take ibuprofen. Gah. This has never happened to me.
Today someone approached me at the office while I was heating up my lunch. She knew I had just been out 2 days on bereavement leave, skipped a team building last week because I was swamped, and that I had several initiatives last week pulling me in different directions. She had a spiral bound book in her hand and said, "Last year we reported we had X# nurses but this year when I pull the number it says Y (like 2,000 lower, and we are in growth mode so that doesn't make sense). Do you have any background on where the data came from?"
I looked at her, blinked my eyes and then said, "Can you give me some context here?" (I didn't elaborate but I mean like who is the audience, what are we reporting this for, what question was asked, etc.?)
Now, that was a bit snippy, but her body language came across as exasperated and put out like I should know what she is working on. We get so many requests for data I didn't know what she was working on and my eyes were all red and puffy from crying so clearly I wasn't at 100%.
So she referenced the title of the project she was working on. I helped close out that request last year because her predecessor quit and the coverage landed in my lap as the person who holds random crap together. But again - it had been a YEAR so I didn't know what the specific wording of the request was, which could impact which data set you use to answer the question.
So then I said, "well what data set was used last year?" She said, "I have no way of knowing that." I said, "Well actually [predecessor] left a folder on the share drive under his name and within that is a project folder for this request and within that he has all the data sets he used to answer the question. I'd look at that, compare it to what you are looking at now and see if you can figure out why there is a discrepancy. It definitely doesn't make sense so we will need to partner with [key stakeholder] on explaining how it may have been overstated last year in error or why the number is lower this year."
To that she acted all put out and annoyed. Um, hello - it is your project, not mine. I'm giving you a lead on how to find the info. WTF do you want from me? PS thanks for your compassion.
I had absolutely no inclination to watch the 1st Magic Mike, but when I found out that Twitch and Matt Bomer are in the newest one I soooo want to go and watch it now! If Henry Cavill were also in it I'd camp out.
I work in Cambridge, MA and twice, TWICE this week I've seen people without shoes on outside. One chick was walking around and some jackhole was running barefoot. You are in a city with construction going on every street. This isn't Cabo, put some damn shoes on.
