I actually have one this week!

There is a cw of mine who walks by my desk every morning but never says good morning. I think that's rude. Before you say, well why can't YOU can say good morning? The way my computer is, my back is to the aisle. My computer is at an angle just enough that I catch her at the last minute out of the corner of my eye. So in order for me to say it, I'd have to scoot out of my cube and/or yell it after she's walked by.

Maybe she's just not a morning person? Is she otherwise friendly?

We've had more cancellations for our interviews next week. These people accepted our invitations in November. At this rate, I am going to have to cancel lunch for Saturday because we will be done too early.

And DS1 said he's skipping school (he's not, but he wants to) the only answer I can get out of him is that he doesn't want to do homework. Shit, no one does. He's just tantruming because I made him finish his homework last night. BUT DUDE.

Yes. And we're actually friends outside of work. Maybe she doesn't like talking to people's backs? I don't know. I'm the type of person who would just say a quick good morning as I walked by. Maybe that's why I feel it's rude. And hence why it's possibly flameful.

sweetchix when I am on a mission, like on my way to a meeting, walking to my desk to put my stuff down in the morning, ect I have blinders on and don't really even think to say hi to anyone.

I know kids are all cute no matter how they are and all that. DD has been a little over 2 weeks with her dad and they posted a picture of her on Facebook. She has gained so much weight that you can easily tell. She is going to be in for a rude awakening when she gets back because not only her tennis peers have already had a month ahead of her but with the weight and the elevation of the city we live in.... it will NOT be easy for her.

I just focus on the fun she is having and tell her nothing about it. She was also supposed to be in a diet rich of fiber and fruit for her next appointment with the gastro. I am assuming that is not happening.

I can understand that. But she's only going back and forth to the cafeteria to get water.

I have been took to the office for not going around my office and saying good morning to everyone. I still don't because I think it is crazy to walk around to everyone's desk and say good morning if they are here before I am. My office is the first one coming in the door that we all use. My back is to the door so I do not see who is coming or going. I can hear them. I do not like talking the morning to anyone.... If someone else says something to me I will respond. The complainer goes around and has a 10 min at least chat with everyone except me in the mornings. I am fine with that but it is a  biggggg waste of time. I am not a chatty person either.

I stopped taking my pill 2 days early in hopes that I would get my period two days early so I could have a hookup Sunday night. My period did come early but it was really light and today it is full force so I doubt it will be over in time for Sunday night. And I am definitely not at the point yet where I could bring up period sex with this guy.

Oh god. I can't stand morning people. I don't really why I would make a point to say good morning to someone who clearly isn't in my line of sight.

Oh I totally agree about the waste of time to have a full conversation. I never said I expected that (I know you did not say I did, I'm just making sure that is clear). IMO it's just common courtesy to throw out a "good morning", even a blanket "good morning" as you plainly walk by someone. I don't go make it a purpose to go to everyone's desk to say it, but when I walk in and the woman in the desk next to me is already there I say gm as I walk by to my desk. But again, I did give her the benefit of the doubt and said that maybe she doesn't like to talk to people's backs so if I'm facing away she just doesn't bother? Obviously I'm in the minority.

You're my coworker.  She gets cranky if I don't say hello every morning and goes out of her way to withhold her own greetings to be supremely passive aggressive.  I'm not saying your reaction rises to that level, but she's annoying about it.  I am not a morning person - it's not a personal slight if I'm in my head about work and walk by without wishing someone a good morning.

I have a date tonight! I have no idea what to wear.

This, and also maybe she doesn't want to interrupt you?

Whatever her reason, I wouldn't take it personally.

so I talked about online dating last week and kicked that to the curb. reason being my old flame from college contacted me via FB. we always had chemistry (just dated and but had fun together) but he ended up moving to FL, so things obviously fizzled.
he's back in my neck of the woods and a single man. wondering if I should meet up w him or not..
havent seen him in 14 years!


scerd

Meet up with him, for no other reason than to just see.

My job is bugging me and I am so checked out that I can't seem to care that much. I have been asking for several pieces of information form different people all week now. I can't move forward to do my work on some accounts until I get this info...no one is responding to my multiple requests. I probably should care more because it makes it look like I am not doing my job. But I am covering my ass, making sure I document every request that goes ignored, so whatever. It is so hard to care about work when other people make it so difficult.

I've recently become interested in tarot cards. I watched a reading for my zodiac sign last night on YouTube.

I have a really strong sense of intuition and last year I predicted something that I felt would happen in my life because I could feel it in my intuition. My intuition has proven itself in other ways throughout the years, but last year I started sharing it in detail with my sister and best friend. Even though they totally believe me and are impressed that my prediction came true (I told them before it ever actually happened), I still feel like they must think I'm a bit crazy. I don't even fully know how to process it myself. Honestly, I'm kind of freaked out by my own experiences with my intuition and dreams.

[cuddlyevil]

glitzyglow, where did you find the readings?

Here is my asshole thought of the week. Vegas pointed out his "bald" spot...it's not really bald, but it's thinner...it made the start thinking if this is what I want out of life. His dad and uncles are all cue balls...so...

I am so vain...

[bl]

jigsy Some guys are so hot bald. Exh had HORRIBLY thinning hair, like awful and I was so worried when he decided to start shaving his head bald, but oh my it was the best thing ever.

[pinkdutchtulips]

jigsy bald guys aren't bad

J fell asleep on the couch. I attempted to wake him up before I came to bed. He opened his eyes, looked at me and went right back to sleep. I tried again, same thing. I am now in the middle of the bed with the cat. I can hear him snoring in the living room. LOL. Oh well, I tried.

DH falls asleep on the couch pretty much every night. Most nights, he'll wake before it's gotten too late and go to bed. Some nights, he doesn't wake up before I go to bed. I used to try to wake him up to come to bed with me, but most of the time I couldn't get any kind of response from him. I don't even try any more, I just enjoy sleeping in the middle of the bed and snuggling with the cat, who very rarely sleeps in the room with us.
