Ransoms week of 3/5

[thejackpot]

The good: The weather is mild and I have been getting out to walk. I went on my interview last Friday and it felt good to be dressed up and talking about my profession.

The bad: 2/3 kids have the flu. My little spitfire daughter has been spared. Germs know better than coming for her. It's hard seeing them so beat so I hope this passes soon.

The ugly: My toes! I need a pedicure😭😭

How about you guys? What's the 411, Hons.

I'm sorry to hear about the littles. Sick kids aren't my idea of a good time. The only thing I dislike more is taking care of healthy kids when I'm sick.


Today, nothing is coming up mesha. I broke a jar, I missed my bus, I forgot my headphones, I was late for my meeting, this stupid animation won't do what I want it to. I need a cookie or something.

[kicks]

Ugh I'm sorry your kiddos are sick. I'm on inpatient peds right now and feel bad for all the parents.

One of my Facebook friends got in to a car accident and has to have surgery. She asked on Facebook what medication she should take for her reoccurring headaches.

Someone responded "Tylonal"
Lol. Do not take medical advice from someone who can't spell the medication.

[orangeblossom]

thejackpot I'm sorry about the kiddies. Congrats on the interview. Hope you're hear back that you got the job soon.

meshaliuknits. Hope your day gets better. A cupcake perohas?

I managed to get the agitator off enough to remove the stuck curly sheet from the washer = winning

Again I failed at making egg/banana pancakea = foiled again

Oh and I ate at my friend's home over the weekend. We had takeout but she left the salad container open and her cat was eyeing it on counter. I may or may have not stared down the cat. Let's hope he didnt steal my soul!

[childofhiphop]

thejackpot, nothing pulls at my heart like sick kids. kicks, for sure I couldn't work around them daily. My heart would break into tiny pieces. I admire that you can do it! You are brave!

Things are looking up. DH's hand is on the mend. We went across the country for his family funeral and made it back. I survived my in-laws.

I'm feeling determined and motivated to get things done at the house. I'm going to outsource a few projects just to get the ball rolling again. Nothing super expensive but daylight savings this weekend is my internal clock ringing to get my yard together for summer time and lots of cookouts and it looks like absolute CRAP right now.

As for work, the HR director came to my office to tell me that mine was the only process to completely pass the 3rd party audit without any recommendations or changes needed. (Woot!) She also asked about some other comments I reported in the interview (someone/male asked me if I had enough brains to do complete all of my tasks). She ended up staying for more than an hour and I was able to get all of my issues with the BULLY off of my chest and provided ALL of the receipts too. We'll see what steps come to pass. But it felt good to be validated.

[thejackpot]

childofhiphop so glad you were heard! That's great. Glad the other areas of your life are going well too.
barcelonagirl hope your soul is safe 😭😭😭
meshaliuknits hope the day got better. Yikes.
kicks Tylenol is hilarious. Did you see the skit on SNL with the drug company stealing the names of its employee? Tylenol made me think of it.

[meshaliuknits]

I dunno how many of you were following the saga of Netflix's Iron Fist series. Criticisim was mostly concerning continuing the white guy hits up Asia and is better than them at everything version of the white savior trope instead of reinventing it as something... not racist. But that would have been hard, so nah.

But also there is NO WAY IN HELL Misty Knight hooks up with this dude:



Critics have gotten the first six episodes and they are... not impressed. My favorite review was titled
‘Iron Fist’ Review: Like ‘Batman Begins,’ If Bruce Wayne Was an Idiot Man-Child


The tea is pipping hot and I am immersed in the petty.

I am in a funk today. I rearranged and cleaned my health room, which helped some. I need to order supplies, but nothing I want is in stock in the warehouse. So I have to do some figuring out. Paperwork is getting to me today.

One of my co-workers is getting on my last nerve. She made the point that she "is going to work today and not wearing red" and she's holding happy hour today anyway. Happy hour was cancelled because too many said they couldn't/wouldn't come today. It's a group of women (fellow nurses) who are mostly all at work today and many of us replied that we are showing support by not spending money today. Her whole attitude is rubbing me the wrong way. Her life as a upper middle class white lady is rosy and the rest of us need to get over it. I just can't today with her ish. I hope she sits at the bar all alone.

I really need some "me" time for a pedicure or break.

[thejackpot]

bugandbibs she sounds awful. I hope your day is winding down. It's hard having to work and be in a foul mood. Here's to a pedicure in the near future!

[raangoli]

Hugs to everyone who needs them.

It's been a little surreal these past 2.5 weeks without dad. For some reason it hits me every morning as I drive BB to daycare. I guess because I get so sad thinking of how she will never know him.

I have to travel for work again next week. I am over having a travel job but I can't do anything about it for a while.

I'm so sorry. It's so unfair!

Also I bought a new phone but am not using it until my new phone case is delivered:
