What have you got?
I'm fighting a stupid cold. But work is hopping so I'm trying to stick with it as long as I'm not scaring people. Although I sound like I'm about to cough up a lung.
I emailed my manager about something earlier today and she answered it pleasantly, and then asked if we could meet at 2:30. I don't know what it's about. A couple of follow-up emails between us were pleasant. I asked if I need to prepare anything and she said no.
Crap. I hate when they don't tell you what it's about. I don't know if I'm getting reprimanded for something, if they want me to take over for someone in our group (one will go on maternity leave soon, another resigned recently and hasn't yet been replaced, so I'm hoping this is the reason), if I'm getting laid off, or if it's something totally inconsequential. Since she made the request a couple hours ago I'm hoping it's not a reprimand or a layoff, since every time that's happened to me in the past it's happened immediately after the manager asked me to see them.
Why can't people let you get off of an elevator before barging in? This has happened twice today alone. I am the one that says something, usually "excuse me...". The lady this morning had no response, just kept walking in. Just now a dude did the same but he responded with an "mmm hmmm". WTF. Let the the person off first you morons!
mbcdefg - I hope your meeting goes well. I don't think you're getting laid off - it sounds like they really need more people.
I can't believe the dust in this house. From Candles, kitty litter, kitties, people....it's nasty and we just changed the a/c filters not long ago. Yuck.

I spent the last half of my lunch hour at my desk so I could quietly study. We have a sign that we put up to alert everyone that we are at lunch. Two people still felt the need to try to talk to me. Why can people not leave me alone when I'm at lunch? If I wanted to talk to you, I would initiate it.

I am working at home this week. Dh is not working.
I am not in the mood to reassure his choices today (babe, should I make eggs for breakfast? Should I fix the toilet? What parts do you think I need? I'm going to do the dishes. )
It is making me crazy--but he is being respectful of my "no talking to me until noon" rule. This is progress
All I have are vents, so I'm not even going to go there!
Go for it. I'm in a bitchy mood and need company.
Lol! I'm sorry.
Well, first of all, DS thinks he knows everything. I had to tell him earlier to watch his tone with me and he kept insisting he didn't have a tone. I said, "Are you annoyed with me right now?" He said, "Can I be honest?" Me: He said, "In a way, because I feel like every other time we've talked this week, you're telling me what I should be doing without even giving me a chance to do it." I said, "That proves my point. You're annoyed with me, I know you're annoyed with me, and the reason I know is because you have a tone." I'm the queen of tone! Don't tell me about tone!
Also, I am starting to think my boss is losing it. That's a longer story, but the short version is, it's not easy working for a maniac!
At my office, we share a restroom with 4 other offices on our floor. So, probably a total of 10-12 women using the bathroom on a daily basis. You need a key to get in and it's cleaned daily. I went to the bathroom today and this woman refused to use a stall because they were out of toilet seat covers. She then acted super grossed out when I went in there and used it.
I'm all for the covers in a public rest room or if it's dirty, but I guess I'm more breezy about it when I pretty much know who uses it. Am I wrong?

We have a similar set up. You're not wrong. Wrong are the following: one lady from another office on our floor who never washes her hands (gross), and grown women (I'm not sure who in this case) who don't flush properly (as in the bowl should be empty for the next person).

What's up with you?
Sorry, I went to bed. I had enough. My bitch was about the kids too, but mine are 4 and refuse to do anything. After a MONTH of school break, I was at my wits end. And my husband told them that we would have a "special" day before going back to school. Quit promising things you aren't around to follow through on!!!!!
