Friday randoms

[sweetchix]

Happy Friday!?!

I'm in a bad mood this morning. First of all, I woke up with the same headache I've been battling since Wednesday. Then, I had to drive DDs out to my mom's for the day, so I had to be up at 6 (an hour earlier than normal). Fine. After dropping them off, back on my way in to work, some a$$hole in a big white truck starts moving in to my lane. I hit the horn to let him know someone was there and then he flips me off and continues to cut me off  Ummm... no dude. I am not the one who deserved to be flipped off, you are. So then he turned left shortly after and I was still pissed, and shaking, so I layed on the horn again and flipped him off. Fucker! Then I get stuck behind 2 different construction vehicles going 15 miles under the speed limit. I was mentally thinking of other streets I could take if they continued to go the same was as I was. Fortunately they turned into a park. So, rough start to the day. Boss lady is off so it should be a fairly easy day, unless I just jinxed myself.

How is your Friday morning so far? Any plans for the rest of the day?

Nothing good or bad, I am in a rut these days.

It stormed really badly last night for over an hour, so I'm feeling tired today. On the plus side, my cat snuggled with me during the storm instead of running under the bed and hiding. He would get a little freaked out during big thunder booms but he let me pet him and he calmed down. I have to buy him his special cat food this weekend which is kind of pricey, so the pain of the price is somewhat eased by his cuddles last night, lol.

I have nothing planned for my weekend, which is kind of bumming me out because I was alone last weekend, too. Hopefully I can find something to do.

Today is or would have been our 10th wedding anniversary. I'm feeling...weird.

Today is a travel day for me. It'll be a fun trip but first I need to finish packing.

(((hugs))) It gets better. What would have been my 12th was on Father's Day. I did mention it to my dad and then we carried on with what we were doing. It just feels like any other day now.

I am worried to see what is the fallout of the Brexit decision. I know it will affect me as I work for a British organization.

I worked pretty late last night and I have class tonight and tennis tomorrow early and then class. I am planning to veg out tomorrow in the afternoon.

DH and I are going out of town this weekend for a pirate fair that some friends of our are setting up a booth, we'll go to hang out and kind of be marketing for them. It's a really fun fair, especially for how small it is. There's a bigger one that we used to go to that happens on the same weekend, but it's been going downhill for a few years, and now some of the people that we know are starting to come to the smaller one instead. Last year there was a group that was dressed up like old-timey British soldiers, and one of the guys was CUUUUUTE. I'm hoping they're all there again.
I have errands to run before I pick DH up from work. He's taking a half day so we can get on the road. I have things I need to do, but I just want to take a nap!
Our local YMCA is holding a marriage enrichment course starting next Tuesday. I want to have DH and I take it, but I don't know if he'll go for it. At some point this weekend one or both of us will be drunk, I should just wait until then to get him to commit to the class.

I had to be to work early because I'm manning the front desk alone today...and I didn't manage to make it early enough to grab coffee from the breakroom before phone duty. It's going to be a long time until my break!

Today is my one year work anniversary! I love my company and am so glad I found it.

Tomorrow I committed to going to a brewery event with my neighbor and now I really don't want to go! It would be the first Saturday at home in weeks and I'd rather stay home do nothing. Also, I love my neighbor but kind of regretting befriending her because now she wants to socialize every night. I'm LAZY.

I just ate waffles at my desk. YUM.So good. I put frozen waffles in a container with pats of butter and drizzled with syrup. I just nuked it in the microwave. I am not opposed to slightly soggy waffles. I forgot my coworker has a toaster and I would have used it but I put syrup and butter on already.

I don't even own a toaster at home... or a coffee maker. Since most of my stuff was in storage for two years I don't know if the movers lost a box or I gave things away like my coffee maker and toaster. Who gives away a used toaster???

There's a dude in my apartment complex with a bigfoot decal on his car. I want to be all "I believe too!" at him but I try to hide my crazy.

[Linie]

I'm dead tired because I watched BBC news on Brexit the entire night. I will leave the office in 10 minutes or so and join my Scottish man to have a drink and commiserate about what the F* happened yesterday. There were some parties tonight and tomorrow, but we might hide under the covers...

[glitzyglow]

@lemonlover, I've been craving waffles and finally picked some up at the grocery store; the kind I bought suck!

I wish I could lay in bed today and read a chick-lit novel. I haven't read one in a long time and I think I could use it.

I just found out my coworker has been out "sick" for a week because her boyfriend broke up with her a week ago. After 3 days of illness we have to produce a note from a doctor. She called teladoc and she used her phone records as her "note". uhhhh...

No.

[redredwine]

Someone on my FB feed just posted that people shouldn't vote AT ALL if they aren't happy with Trump or Hilary.

NO.NO NO NO NO NO.

I responded with a rant about how they can actually write in a candidate and in our state, they don't even have to be a registered candidate.

by NOT voting, you're part of the problem!! VOTE PEOPLE!!! IT's a HUGE privilege to be able to vote.


Also, I can finally zip my jeans all the way up today and not use the rubber band pregnant trick (I'm NOT pregnant, I've just gained weight and am now on a sort of meal plan/workout plan)

Oh! I forgot my most random random. Recently another board member changed her display name to the same thing as my user name (bb). Since you have to tag someone by their user name and not their display name, I keep getting tagged in posts that are for her. Everytime I get excited thinking I'm part of a conversation....and I'm not. Lol!

[Deleted]

redredwine I'm so glad the program is working for you! I know you were disappointed earlier this week. Results are awesome!!!

Were you bbgirl (gurl?) on TN back in the day?

[doglove]

My date last night was not really great, I'm bummed, but I feel like it's par for the course.

[glitzyglow]

Oh no doglove, I'm sorry.

So I talked to the other manager, in confidence, about me not getting the management position. She told me that boss lady did actually consider me (1 out of 3) but it came down to the fact that the other 2 had managerial/reports to experience, so she didn't move further with me. She also told me that a department reorganization may be in the works that would promote me, and another coworker, to supervisory positions so we can gain that experience. My fingers are crossed so tight for this; however, I'm not withdrawing my applications for the HR Data Mgr positions. I don't want to depend on something that only "may" be. But I do feel kind of silly now for being all upset over it. All in all though, I do feel better and not ticked like I was Monday night into Tuesday.

No no. I was Cant_Wait! On the knot/nest since 2006, and then Boing when we moved to Gbcn. I deleted my Boing name after some board drama because I was never coming back...and then I came back.

There was a bbgurl on military nesties. She got flammed a bit over the years and had a fear of american cheese. 

RANDOM. I had numbers in my name on TN and just dropped them when I came here. Sometimes I imagine other people dropped bits of their name when we migrated.

[doglove]

I had a really good date last night! He even brought me coffee this morning when he picked me up to take me to my car I left at the bar we went to. We went out a few times a few months ago and reconnected. I've been on the go for a few weeks and am planning to most hibernate this weekend. The introvert in me is like no people! Just sweatpants and tv. I'm exhausted and need to go so my workout. I do really love it but I'm being lazy. I'll get up and do it right after I finish this show...

My marathon of a work week finally came to an end. I worked more than 20 hours of overtime this week, plus working through lunch every day. It was raining when I got home from work today. I just woke up from my 4 hour nap.

Aw. what happened?

I'm c&p from TIP because there were a lot of things that were just not right. 

We met for a baseball game that is about an hour away for me. One thing I have been watching on the dates is that he's always talking about money and finances (like there's a lack of it for him, but I can't figure it out because he drives a beater, has an old phone, I've googled his house - not fancy, he's not extravagant) like he's cheap. He has a job in scientific research for a well known private company. Over half the conversation last night was based on how expensive things were and money. He didn't eat dinner (this seemed weird to me, he made a comment when we were in line for the hot dogs that he didn't want to eat when he wasn't hungry and so he'd wait to eat until later, which never came.)



He kept bringing up the same stories/topics that we had previously discussed on earlier dates. I don't know if this is a product of only talking once a week over the span of a few weeks or what, but I don't like having the same conversations, no new information was really shared. I do get the sense that he's very rigid in terms of how he does things and how he thinks. For example, we took one entry way from the food area to our seats and when we went to get food another time, we took another exit and this kind of upset him. When I went to put a picture of the stadium on FB, he made a comment about a girl in front of us taking selfies and he joked she was probably checking in on FB and didn't understand why people posted all these things/pictures on FB that no one probably cared about. Definitely a huge gap between us in terms of that - I like to share what I'm doing and pictures with my friends and family.



So about half way through the game it started pouring/thundering and lightning. We talked until the rain eased up and they cancelled the game and then we left. I walked him to his car (this part is odd) and he gave me another kiss on the cheek (still no kissing or any type of affection other than these kisses on the cheek) and got in his car and left - so I walked to my car alone. I got a text from him when I got back after driving in the crappy rain conditions home for an hour that said he had a nice time and that going to a game was a great suggestion and that he'll talk to me next week when he gets back from his trip. I didn't respond because it was so late.



This morning he texted again (unusual for him) asking how my ride home was last night so I responded and just said it was kind of rough, but I made it fine. He said said sorry it was a crappy ride home and then again cut the conversation short by saying he'd talk to me next week.


I don't like speaking to him 1-2x a week. The money stuff is kind of weird to me and the lack of thinking about me is off putting. I'm not sure he knows what he's doing? I guess he likes me if he wants to keep going on dates with me, but he doesn't express it in physical affection or words so I have no idea. Blah.
