Ah jeeze. My neighbour has started taking it upon himself to shovel my portion of the sidewalk, and where the road connects to the driveway. That is the hardest part, because it's where the plow pushes tons of nasty, sloppy snow. Oh, and my neighbour has got to be at least 90 years old. It has been snowing non stop since Friday, and I caught him once on Saturday, thanked him, but assured him that he really didn't have to do that, and he was all "well the kids...they will run onto the road". I just looked out my window and he's out there shoveling away again. He's an incredibly nice guy, but it makes me feel guilty!
The shingle delivery guy had the balls to park his giant truck in my driveway, THEN come to the door and ask if it was ok with a form to sign. Our driveway is already cracked and idgaf, but really...? I just looked at him and said "I guess it's a good thing I'm okay with it then, huh...?"
I have jury duty. Literally nothing has happened the past hour, just a big room full of people getting antsy. Now I know why everyone hate it. On the flip side, I kind of hope I get chosen just to make my boss sweat a little. She suggested I try and get out of it by using my work situation as an excuse (I'm the only doctor in the office twice a week and the only one there late twice a week; no patients can be seen if there isn't a doctor there). I hate the fact that I'm so pressured to never take time off for any unscheduled reason, like sickness or child sickness.
Now they just released us until 1:30, lol. Now I have to find something so do for the next 2.5 hours.
Pretty sure we were in the same room. I was so thankful I live only a mile from the square and just went home to take a nap during that lunch break.

No way! I live about 15 minutes from there so I went home too. Did you have to go back today?
No, I didn't have to. As much as I didn't want to go in yesterday, I was glad I did when I saw the 575/75 traffic jam at the normal time I would have been leaving work.

It was so boring yesterday! I guess we're not off the hook for the rest of the week though right? My boss is wondering when I'll know about Thursday and Friday but I have no idea.

I was voted off the island for not knowing why Secret Santa had become offensive after 2015, and questioned what happened and shunned and called a racist for asking questions. When I participated in 2015 it was less than 3 months after my DH ended his life, and in 2016 when I asked if we were going to do it, I had not remembered or had not known there was a significant event that made this a thing of the past, and the board turned on me for asking what happened and not just listening to several posters who told me to not ask questions. Being called a racist and being told I was self absorbed was more than I could handle.
Thank you for thinking of me. I sincerely appreciate it.

I don't remember you being called a racist?
You claimed you had "no idea" that the BOD incident took place but it was then pointed out that you had actually posted in threads about it and talked about it.
People were saying that it was because of the BOD that SS was not really appropriate as a board activity anymore because, obviously people felt violated.
Who called you a racist?
Eta- people WERE upset that it kept getting turns into being about "but presents!" After WOC were speaking out about how it had been used to violate a WOC. Pointing out the tone-deafness =/= you being called a racist. But yes, you were caught a lie that also upset WOC
