Tuesday ransoms

[tacom]

Back to the grind!

I'm on a bus heading to my first NY in person interview and just realized I forgot a pen. I have my SS card, degree, reference letters, resume, extra paper for notes, etc ... But I forgot a pen.

Hopefully security lends me one bc there is no time to stop at a store.

[sfy]

Good luck !!

I don't want to go back to work today.

[v]

Good luck and don't worry about the pen

[cajunmom]

Booked our house for our next Disney trip

Said Disney trip is a year away

[dreamcrisp1]

Good luck tacom.

[irene adler]

Good luck tacom!

Iit is amazing how much I can get done if I have a good audio book. Although I'm keeping pace with my workload I'm on the verge of overwhelmed

[Deleted]

Good luck tacom!

It's a dreary day here and it's making it really difficult to get excited about being back at work. The long weekend was so nice!

I'm wearing new shoes today and I can see they already gave me a blister I hope they just need breaking in.

[hamster]

I have the day off!

I thought you were already scheduled to go?  Good luck, that would be an amazing match to watch!

The company who gives us tickets only gave us one set this year, which my boss took. They called this morning and asked if we wanted tickets for tonight too. As long as there as the NYC office doesn't scoop them all up for clients (unlikely) I'm headed down!

This is made a little more complicated by the fact that I (physically) lost my license on Sunday, and will need to make a mad dash home for my passport.

Fingers crossed that you're able to make it!

And if you do, I'll be a speck up in the nosebleeds  

Am I the only one who thinks that if Venus wins,* Williams Thanksgiving will be super awkward?


(*and she better not, because I'm going on Saturday with my niece and want her to see a woman making history!)

[tacom]

Thanks everyone! It went well and a very nice security guard let me borrow his pen.

Scm hope you make it! If you ever have a spare minute in NYC I'd love to meet for a drink!

[tacom]

Sounds great!

Wait... You need your degree for an interview?...

This is why I always keep a pen (or 4 after the last clean out) in my purse. Never know when you'll need one.

There's a heat advisory warning here, likely all week. Just when everyone says goodbye to summer, SD says hello to summer & goodbye tourists. Lol.

Whoever on this board suggested I read "The Kitchen House" I am mad at you.  Maybe it's the PP/BFing hormones, but I have cried at least 5 times, I'm all worked up over the plot and some of the characters and I'm not even finished yet.  There better be some semblance of a happy ending or I will just lose it.  

And yes, I know the strength of my emotions is a sign this is a meaningful, incredible book but ugh.  What a heart wrenching story.

this interview did not specify, but I'm meeting w/ a staffer later and need:

• photo ID
• SS card or passport
• prof license
• prof reg
• prof cert
• degree
• CPR cert
• immunization records
• recent physical
• 3 letters of ref
• TB test (1 yr) or CXR (2 yr)

I try to bring as much as I might possibly need, but apparently no writing utensils!

I'm not sure which is more ridiculous this morning:
- the building A/C being temporarily out of order on a day with a 102* high, or
- IT having enough issues with coworkers screwing around on the internet to have to lock out time wasting sites and IRS.gov ending up in the time wasting list somehow (even worse because I'm an accountant and need it for my job).

[dreamcrisp1]

I had such an amazing weekend in NYC. I'm sad to be back to reality.

[v]

dreamcrisp1 -- what did you do/see/eat?  I love trip reports

[UnderProtest]

I am sooooo happy that school started again. Now what to do with myself for 4 hours every day?

[tacom]

v is NY always this unbearably hot and humid? I feel physically sick waiting for the subway sometimes.

[steph96]

I feel like I'm on the verge of a panic attack. Score release will happen at some point on the 10th. I'm so freaking nervous. I'm sitting at my desk trying to take deep, calming breaths but it is not working. If it's this bad today, I can't imagine how bad it will be tomorrow or the day of score release. Ugh. I need Xanax.

August can be rough and the subways are DISGUSTING in the summer even when it is not *that* bad out.  Believe me, I am thanking my lucky stars that I've only been in the subway like 3 times this summer!  You may want to get to know the bus routes around you so you can see where you can avoid the subway when it is this hot out. 

It should be lovely soon.  September and October tend to be really nice.  November and December will not be nice, but still 40s-50s.  And while I hate January/February/March, they'll probably be nothing to you

[tacom]

50s (and sunny) is perfect weather. I cannot effing wait.

DH got a nail in his tire (he swears it was me when I drove it ONCE on Monday) but luckily the shop patched it free of charge. MM score!!

I discovered a new term "Pank"... Professional aunt no kids. This is horrible. Lol.

SIL was basically threatened in an work email. H was ridiculously breezy about it.
I was freaking, MIL was freaking, H was all "Eh, he's talking about his ex-wife, he's not going to hurt SIL"

Backstory, it was a work email sent to confirm court dates-SIL has nothing to do with crazy guy.

H didn't read the freaking email that claims that he isn't going to jail for what he's done, that he will have to make sure that he does something so much worse (ie murder) so he'll never get out and then ended with "You might be on the news! Make sure you tell them I was demonic and spoke Gallic (sic) and levitates!!!!!"

I would not take this lightly in this climate. All these crazy random and/or mass shooters, no way would I be playing games with some wackadoo telling me I might be on the news. The hell? I might have a slightly different opinion of your SIL thought this guy was joking, but the fact that you, your H and MIL know about this email says to me that she is unnerved.

Oh, she's terrified. She forwarded it on to Police/County Attorney (she works in their office) and wasn't home all weekend. I'm fucking terrified for her. 

I'm pretty sure this guy could be arrested for making that type of personal threat toward her and ex-wife. I surprised no one from the police has followed up with her yet. I wouldn't blame her for being terrified. To put something like that into writing is all kids of crazy.
