I somehow managed to snap an underwire in half, and didn't notice until it was poking me in the chest and I was bleeding. So I pulled the broken one out, and now I feel like I'm walking around looking lopsided.
Grab some scissors and snip out the other underwire!

DH was asking me questions about DD's field trip today, mostly regarding things he should either have known or asked about earlier than 20 minutes before they have to leave. I reminded him that one of my anxiety triggers is having to be the knower of all things (which has been happening a lot lately). He got annoyed that I was annoyed and asked why this incident specifically was stressing me out. Like, kept asking as though I had time or inclination to explain AGAIN generalized anxiety.
Well, if I could give an answer on that, my life would be much easier. As it is, his lack of ability to retain information is literally keeping me up at night.

Can you believe a pair of scissors is like the one thing I cannot find in this office? LOL!
So why do I have managers who are bitching about approving ONE PERSONS TIME-SHEET, their proposal??? Make them exempt from OT ^o). I told them they can have a good time explaining that to the DOL.

H and I are having a disagreement via text as to whether or not Sailor Moon is a superhero. My last text was "Her song says 'Fighting evil by moonlight, finding love by daylight, never backs off from a real fight.' Two out of three are superhero moves."
We have the DUMBEST arguments. But I still have a burning need to be right. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm right.
I finally bought a full sized head to toe mirror for DH's and my bedroom so that I wouldn't have to stand on the toilet seat to see whether I'm dressed like a grown up or not (this was inspired in part by my experience wearing shoes to a conference that were a full size too big and left me stumbling around like a goddamn drunk in the parking lot - I'm going to start trying to dress like an adult). This conversation with DH followed:
DH: What's that huge mirror in our bedroom for? Me: So I can see my outfits from top to bottom. DH: Why do you need that? Me: So I know if everything goes together. DH: But it's really big. Me: It has to be, y'know, so it reflects your full body. DH: I don't understand why we need this.
I swear to god we had this same conversation when we registered for an iron and ironing board when we got married. I feel like DH had parents... but didn't. Y'know?

Sometimes you have to laugh at ignorance to keep from saying/doing something else.
My classmate and I, both black, and two young black males were on the elevator today. Some white female students were all ready to get on (and I know they were, because the elevator takes a long time to come), and as soon as they saw us, they decided to take the stairs. Um, okay.
Now, they could have just thought it was too crowded, but I seriously doubt that was the case. All of us in the elevator just laughed and shook our head.

honestly, I hate approving time. It seems so redundant.
But the answer is not to illegally reclass someone. smh
Tell them "suck it up buttercup - that is why you get paid the big bucks."

Could they have fit easily? If they were a whole group together it may not have been personal.
But I can see how it would feel that way and I would be irritated. And then think to myself, "i didn't want to be crowded with your stinky white ass anyway."
H and I are having a disagreement via text as to whether or not Sailor Moon is a superhero. My last text was "Her song says 'Fighting evil by moonlight, finding love by daylight, never backs off from a real fight.' Two out of three are superhero moves."

Does she have super powers, do most people around her lack super powers? If so then yes.
I should probably turn in my nerd card, I'm not really familiar with Sailor Moon.

Wait, what? How is she not a super hero? I mean, she transforms and everything.

Sailor Moon wasn't everyone's cuppa. You get a pass.
She can amplify her scream and had a staff with a crystal that did magic biz. Once she fought off an attacker with a hair pin. She's actually from another planet, like Superman. But, superpowers aren't the end all of superheroes. Batman and Iron Man get the moniker and mostly use money and technology.

I'm impressed that you just shook your heads in understanding. Stupid stair-climbing group!

Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying. Not that this would have made me cry, but you know what I mean. It was just comical/sad to me.
H is in a conference this week. So he goes to work with me in the am and then leaves at lunch. My instructor then apparently wants to spend the rest of the time talking in English, just ranting about things. It's amusing. Not teaching me anything, but I don't care since I'll never end up in country.
But, for an introvert, 2 hours conversation, nonstop, can be taxing. Usually I make H speak, and I can just tune in and out. But 1 on 1 is just too damn much. I did mention my favorite job may have me speaking to no one all day. Think she'll get the hint?
Upside, some of my conversation time was making fun of H for talking too damn much. Apparently all instructors have noticed. And are sympathetic.
I (heart) my CEP family. I got so much love from PMs and text messages last week when my car got broken into and my purse stolen. And iammalcolmx wins the award for most awesome because the thing I was most sad over losing (and lost a tablet, glasses, and a decent amount of cash) was a postcard she made from a pic that was taken at the Chicago GTG. iammalcolmx rules!
