Thursday

[Deleted]

Hey ladies. I'm back to work today--was off since before thanksgiving. I am so exhausted because my flight last night was delayed and I didn't get home until 2am. Had to wake up at 6 for work. FML. There's not enough coffee to deal with this shit show today. When I go home, there will be take out for dinner and a date with my bed.
How's everyone doing?

I'm dragging today with allergy symptoms. I just want to close my eyes all day, but I doubt that will be an option.

I'm overinvested in a dating situation and plan to ask on our date tomorrow if things are going to proceed casually or exclusively.

Dr. called in my prescription yesterday, so I'm feeling way better on that front. However, I woke up to a very sore left side of my throat/lymph node/ear. My poor body is going through something.

I think my work's heat just went out. Noooooo!

@bigtowlittletoe that is the worst feeling, thoughts your way that its the answer you would prefer.

I am super congested and my body is achy. I do not need to be sick right now.

I deleted all my dating profiles yesterday. Me and Dallas have very different opinions on deleting vs. just hiding/deactivated and deleting the app. In the grand scheme of things if it makes him feel better that I deleted them now and things don't work out (because I am a realist) its not that hard to recreated them later if needed, so I am happy to do it.

I am recovering from a cold that I caught during Thanksgiving so I am also sniffly. Yay for working from home and blowing my nose as much as I want.

It has been a pretty busy week too. Last night was an office Christmas Party which I felt like blowing off but it was actually better than I expected. Tonight, I'm supposed to go to some networking evening. I don't really want to because the weather is kind of crappy, it's in a far-flung part of town, and I'm still getting over a cold. I will probably turn up for a bit though.

I've been super busy at work. I love short weeks, but it ends up making the week after crazy.

I know I shouldn't care, but Ex has been posting all these stupid photos of him and new girl on Facebook. She's 23! We are 33. I should block because it just makes me feel shitty, but I'm also too nosey. We aren't divorced yet because he's been dragging his feet on agreeing about splitting assets and I am just annoyed at him putting stuff on FB.

I am not working tomorrow!! Meeting new/old guy tomorrow to hangout so we will see. Tomorrow will be the 1st time we have spent quality time together. We have been talking and texting since Sept.

I feel like it went well! However, it was sort of strange because it was only with the team of people I'd be working directly with. The recruiter and HR were not involved. Salary not discussed etc. I've never encountered an interview like this, so I don't t know what to think.

Did they say when they would get back to you?

To help put your mind at ease I don't think it's strange at all. In fact I've never had an interview where HR was involved beyond maybe taking me to someone's office and introducing me if I had multiple interviews. I know your field could be different but I wouldn't think anything of it.

Thanks.    I wish I had enough space here to appropriately gif the emotional rollercoaster I'm riding.

Trying to decide what to do with my hair. I'm sick of brown but I would make one hideous looking blonde. Might go black but I havent decided yet. Im in a hair rut!

I wish visitation was dependent on payment of child support.

Double edged sword, isn't it?

@pdx18, thanks.  I haven't interviewed in years and usually HR was involved. 
1confused1, tonight I actually got a response to my thank you email.  The main interviewer sent a very nice response and stated that I should hear from the recruiter (that hooked this up) early next week.

Maybe some reddish highlights? I'm a big fan of red myself (I'm a strawberry blond myself), and am convinced that there is a shade for everyone. Maybe just a small change will give you a boost.

Added some layers and a few random highlights.  My hair guy will probably do a color correction to strip all the brown after the first of the year.  I've done various shades of red in the past but its been years since I have had any red in my hair.
