Thursday Randoms!

[jojoandleo]

This place has been dead. Let's liven it up!

Work brought someone in to give flu shots. I was told they would cost $25. Then work paid. WINNING!

Today is my first full month of billing, and it SUCKED. I am hoping I get a reprieve as it's my first month.

Ha! I just posted a Thursday Random. Deleted and copied here.

I met my ex husband 9 years ago today. 10/1 is an easy anniversary to remember. My life would be so different if I had turned around and walked away. I would have saved myself years of stress and suffering. But I have always been slow to learn life lessons. I would be so, so much more naive and oblivious if I had never gone through all of that. It's a weird dichotomy.

IDK what I'm doing with my life. I need a shoulder ghost to tell me what to do or something.

[glynn]

I guy I have been texting is really doing it for me..... Can't get together for at least another week. This could be bad......

Or it could be amazing!

I had a one night stand during our separation and it was so awesome and empowering.  I really needed it for my confidence as I had been so beat down by my xh.

Have fun!!!

you may recall how long i have been saying that i've been ambivalent about dating, trying out online dating and just getting annoyed. well. i have been seeing this one guy who is rocking my world. at the moment it is predominantly a sexual relationship. he is so gorgeous and our physical chemistry is off the charts. but it's good to be reminded that i actually like sex. i almost forgot, and it had been a pretty long time.

jojoandleo how is the new job going other than the billing of hours?
TR I was leaning toward him feeling it when he said maybe he was just hesitant to tell you, but then ending it on I am very attracted to you seems odd to me. I tend to just say it if I feel it and know its 100% because those are my feelings and he doesn't have to feel them back, but not hearing it back is crushing too.

Today is my first day back at work after my 3 day bike ride and I really wish I wasn't here. I biked 200.4 miles over 3 days with rain, wind and pretty nonstop hills. I pushed my body farther than I ever imagined possible and crossed the finish line each day. I am beyond sore, have blisters in places there should not be blisters, and lost feeling in 5 of my fingers. I know all that pain will go away and I will have the pride of the accomplishment, but today I just want to sleep.

[katieido]

i don't want to speak for tr, but she said he said "attached", not attracted. which to me sounds like he is very fond of her.
i dunno, this situation sounds to me like they are both feeling some kind of strong way about each other.
i think it is sweet but i understand the second guessing feeling.

Attached, not attracted. He said in the beginning something about how he was getting "attached" to me and I think that's a word kind of like love, but not quite love for him.

Sorry, I am definitely not fully with it and my reading comprehension is suffering.  Then I think attached and him saying he was just hesitant to tell you is probably a pretty good sign he is on his way there if not already.

[1confused1]

I'm at the end of my rope.

Work is stressful. I'm exhausted. I have ZERO motivation to work out.

My friend just texted me to ask if I could watch her kid tomorrow night. She has a husband and two teenage step kids, but she asks the single mom and she knows I am swamped.

[1confused1]

bl congrats on your ride!

[jojoandleo]

bl-I LOVE it. LOVE! It's what I want to do!

Girl, eye to eye. My life feels floopy.

I'm devastated by this college shooting in my state. All of these shootings are just too much.

[bg]

Good job bl!

@pdx18 agreed. and i feel like at some point there's going to be a degree of learned helplessness about gun violence. maybe there already is?

I'm so ready for a walk on the beach tonight.

[1confused1]

I have another. I made an appointment to get back on an AD.

@pdx18 it's tragic

[Eureka1984]

I don't want to be an adult today. My day is just never ending.

I'm looking forward to the weekend

[pinkdutchtulips]

I got stood up by my lunch date ! Southern manners/charm my ass !!

[calle28]

katieido I felt the same way after my divorce. Like, oh, this is what it feels like to actually want and enjoy sex again!

Work has been so slow lately! A couple of weeks ago my manager gave my coworker and I a heads up that we might be getting our layoff notice soon. Next layoffs are scheduled for next Thursday. I'm oddly at peace with whatever happens.

Some randoms from me...

I have been training a new girl for my old position at my office. She is 19, and very sweet, but man is she YOUNG. I've worked with her for a week, and so far I know:
- she is overly anxious for her 25 year old BF to propose because he is getting "SO OLD".
- She plans on working for a little bit, but wants to be a stay at home mom...in Los Angeles...
- She is planning on getting her degree in Business, but would like a minor in international relations because then she can work in an Embassy, because those jobs are like, super easy to get.
- She spends a lot of time watching Dash Dolls (is this a new Kardashian thing?)

All I can do is shake my head.

I have a phone interview for a job tomorrow that I am really interested in. The company is very hip and of our generation, which I would really like. It is also a creative-ish job...so I wouldn't be doing much creating, but I'd be managing creative accounts, so that seems like it could be a great fit for me. I've also felt like I have a creative soul, but not really any talents on that side.

[idahome]

So glad tomorrow is Friday. I would love to sit and do nothing except watch football for two days, but sadly that's not going to happen.

I have been oddly disconnected from work this week. I need to figure out why so I can fix it.

I miss my friends.

I got the Botox, bitches. And filler. #nomoretiredmomface

[calle28]

mp I had a 3 first interviews about a month ago, but nothing came of them. I took a break from applying, but I'm back on it now.

Good luck on your interview jigsy!

I know, that's a tease right? I'm having my "after" pics taken next week. The doctors I work for started offering Botox/juvaderm/Voluma injections and I was the model for their training so it was free! I had some deep scar lines in my chin that they injected with Juvaderm and they disappeared instantly. I don't really have wrinkles but they did Botox on my forehead and around my eyes as a preventative measure, and it gave my eyebrows a nice lift and my forehead is smoother. For the first time I feel like I have decent eyebrow game.

The possibility of the hurricane hitting the east coast is kind of scary. I now live in an area that was devastated by hurricane sandy (I was untouched at that time in a different neighborhood). Keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't get bad here. If it does we will have to evacuate, but thankfully my mom's house is outside of the flood zone so we plan to pack up our kitties and important things and head there if necessary. 
Im bummed because J's bday is this weekend and I bought him tickets to a baseball game.  It is pretty apparent that it'll be rained out. 

[calle28]

That's crazy the scar lines disappeared instantly. Can't wait to see the results!

It really is crazy! I couldn't believe how immediate that result was. I had wanted to get them done before my wedding and didn't have the spare cash. The Botox took 5-6 days to see the results.

[starburst604]

@blueeyes623 I've been so busy and out of touch but watched the news earlier, it really is scary. It's a damn strong storm. I wish it would just go out to sea but doesn't look like that will happen. Glad you have a plan just in case but I hope you don't need it.

<) I got a refund check from my health insurance today!  Thanks Obama!  Apparently Blue Shield of CA didn't spend the required 80% on health care last year so they are required to give all policy holders a refund.  It's not a huge amount ($103.26) but when you are unemployed any money is good money!!
