This may be a flameful response, but I'm glad you didn't offer to foot his bill. I paid for everything in my last relationship and will not do that again (I'm a little more bitter about it then I realized ).

[Deleted]

My boss/man child really did a number on me the other night. We were talking about our last employee who quit (it's actually a good thing). And I said now that it's just the two of us we need to talk about how to divide up this employees' work and restructure our roles/responsibilities as typically he just comes into the fold for meetings/strategy and he doesn't really create any work product. It worked okayish with two people to do that, but now he's going to have to pick up some slack. He totally went off on me about how I always "complain" and I clearly don't like my job and I should start looking for someone else. Ummm the "complaining" I've been doing is asking him to please complete the tasks that only he can do that are piling up a week or more past due for clients. I'm on the front lines and they ask me for these things and it just gets super awkward making excuses. I've ask him to please change and we need this to be successful. I probably spend at least 5 hours just tracking his work for him and following up. He has NEVER delivered something on time.

Anyways, I feel like these are pretty appropriate "complaints" and they are always couched as "we need to met these deadlines for our clients. How can I/the team best support you in making these happen. We try a new system, he fails at that and it starts again. After MONTHS of that I did get a bit exasperated with him a few times. Anyways then he went on and on about how he did me a favor by hiring me, took some low blow at my personality. It was crazy. He did actually fire me of course, because he knows he needs me.

So I'm looking for a new job because I'm not putting up with t an office which sucks! The flameful part is that this weekend he had planned a big party for his partner's birthday including a weekend away. I'm really close to the partner, but because of my boss. Anyways I'm totally skipping both. I just said I came down sick. I can't stand to be around him right now. I know that friendships/business need to stay separate and we have for the most part. But this was just too over the line for me. If i had actually done something wrong I might feel differently. In fact, I just jumped on a call with two clients and he hasn't joined yet. I'm assuming he slept through.

I called out from work so I could bring my car in for service and start to pack. It was a long week and I've been feeling blah--headache, stuffy nose.
I have less than a month left and I give zero fucks about that place today.

Sorry you are having a hard time with work.....

Thanks glynn. It will look up once I get a new job. It's just really stressful right now dealing with someone who has no clue how to run a business and doesn't want to try.

Not really a flameful, but my federal refund was deposited into my account yesterday and it's already burning a hole in my pocket. I have to be smart this time and not let it just flit away on stupid stuff. I am planning on using it to redo the floors in my dining/living room and possibly kitchen too and get a new vanity and light fixture for one of the bathrooms. The rest is going toward debt.

I am seriously contemplating spending $400 for a 24 hour flight to see my bf next weekend because I want to get laid. I doubt I will do it because I already have a flight booked in 3 weeks and want to spend around $900 to renew my Disney and Universal passes and its just not a smart move financially, but I really want to.

I didn't see BF for weeks.  I understand that feeling all too well.

We literally had to check the headboard last night because we were sure we'd ruined it or the frame.  All clear, thank goodness.

I am so jealous of a friend. We both joined Tinder early last summer and she met a guy within a week. He was really funny, sweet, and cute. They ended up dating from then until late January. She ended things with him because he doesn't have the drive/motivation she wants in a partner. Two weeks ago she met a super hot guy at a bar who gave her his number in the cutest way and now they're talking, and this guy is driven, outdoorsy, smart, and basically everything she's looking for in a guy.

How is this so easy for her?! I want to cry over it. I feel grossed out with myself for being so jealous, but at the same time, I want to throw myself the biggest pity party ever.

I read Me Before You after seeing previews when I went to see How to Be Single. I just checked when it is coming out and I'm so upset that it's not coming out until June 3rd.

I need a life.

((glitzyglow))
By the way, it's me that friended you on fb yesterday.

glitzyglow I feel ya 100 percent. I try to remind myself it's all circumstance and some luck, but doesn't mean anything about me. It's way easier to say than convince myself of, but it is the truth.

Thanks, just too much to do and I'm feeling the pressure that I'm running out of time. Plus, new guests arriving at 9am tomorrow and my place is a mess of baby stuff that I was trying to organize - like I couldn't get through my dining room and had to walk around everything in the kitchen, LOL. It's all organized in bins now, TG but still more -I'm going to be up all night! I'm organizing and cleaning one room at a time and trying to also catch up on paperwork that needs to be done by Monday. Oh, and I'm leaving tomorrow once these guests check in to see friends out of state until Sunday so have to pack, aaaaaah! LOL

I'll feel better when it's all done!

Man, that book emotionally traumatized me. I am debating the sequel (Me After You), but am nervous I won't be able to emotionally handle it. I don't know if I will see the movie.

I read the wiki page, to determine if I should see the movie. IT got a bit fat NOPE from me. Not interested. No need to see a movie and bawl in public.

Yeah.  I picked up the book thinking it was an easy read romance.  NOPE!  I mean, I liked it.  It made me think.  And I actually preferred how it ended for the point of the book, but, yeah.  JFC.

I only read it on my commute (bus/subway). Totally cried in public. I'm glad it wasn't a happy ending, but...yeah.
