I volunteer for the local Humane Society. They are doing amazing, amazing things. They hired a new director three years ago, and he has more than doubled the alive rate by introducing new programs and expanding relationships with local rescues and businesses. Literally hundreds, if not thousands, of lives have been saved since he started. I have seen first-hand how passionate the employees there are for animal rescue.
Months ago, they confiscated 11 cats and dogs, emaciated and otherwise in poor health, from the owner of an animal rescue group. They pressed charges, and the situation has dragged out for months. Unfortunately, one of the dogs passed two weeks ago. The owner is now smearing the Humane Society all over Facebook, and calling our County Commissioners, saying that the Humane Society killed her dog. A dog that was literally on its way to starving to death in her care.
I am going to be writing to the County Commissioners, but I am so fucking pissed that this asshole is pinning blame on the Humane Society. Oh, and the charges against her were dropped by the state's attorney. So I'll be contacting that office as well.
Bernadine, I would be tempted to also write your local tv station's "On your side" program or whatever about the slander. Anything to get the word out.
I feel like I'm being pulled in a bunch of different directions and can't prioritize well right now. I stayed late at work and ended up with more problems than anything.
So I'm here, instead of getting anything done of course.
Yes, get in touch with the news. Places like the Humane Society depend so much on donations and you do not want someone spreading lies to impact that, plus she sounds like an asshole.
If they had proof, how were charges dropped? What about the people who rescued the animals from her care? Can't they state what they witnessed?
It already feels like Fall weather here in Michigan! I'm thankful for it though because we haven't been using our A/C because it's about to die and we're worried about running it. Last time we turned it on H had to give the fan a nudge to start turning and then after a couple of minutes it started a high pitch whine. Not looking forward to the expense of replacing it
Morgan's school is closed today and tomorrow - such a pain. I work in higher ed so August is always like WOAH and we're 2 days out from the start of the semester. And the kicker - she goes to school ON MY CAMPUS! The majority of the kids there are staff & faculty kids! I'm all for PD for the teachers, I really am - but the timing of it sucks every year. Thankfully one of my nieces is now old enough to babysit.

My classroom is all set up and ready for the new school year to begin next week. I am now sewing curtains for my classroom (by hand) and hope that I can finish before the kids come in on Thursday.
My school has organized a SoulCycle class tonight as a kick-off to the school year. I like to think of myself as in pretty good shape, but I'm not sure that I can handle this class tonight. I may have made a mistake signing up.
I had to be at work at 7am to set up for a meeting, then the person who organized said meeting, told me after I'd already set up 1/2 the attendees were no longer attending. They then pulled 5 of the chairs out into the Executive lobby and left them there. I am NOT amused, I get that there weren't enough people to fill all the chairs, that doesn't mean you get to TAKE THEM OUT OF THE CONFERENCE ROOM INTO A LOBBY AND JUST LEAVE THEM. Needless to say, I now have to have a conversation about etiquette on the executive floor with them.

Bernadine Does your humane society have a lawyer? Maybe Contact them about suing the owner to at least get her to STFU.
The people that bad mouthed the photographer in Texas got their ass handed to them in court.
That case was crazy because the photographer had done nothing wrong. It was all in the contract and they were being entitled babies. Yet, they pretty much trashed her career. So glad the court ruled in favor of the photographer.
I called a meeting at 3:30 with 2 senior bosses, and told my direct (junior) boss I needed her part this morning so I'd be ready. She won't be in until noon and she neither left handwritten content nor did she update anything in the system. I am FURIOUS. My afternoon will now be a mad dash to get her shit entered, update everything, get it all generated/printed for presentation and then go into the meeting without any time to review. This is particularly RAGE RAGE RAGE inducing because the meeting is about her failure to consistently provide content and my failure to successfully do my job because I lack the content.

Well, if you have a paper trail about this, bring it up as it is the perfect example of your complaint. I'm sorry she is such a jerk.
I am attempting to potty train my 2 1/2 year old today. It started with a 10 minute tantrum about the diapers disappearing lol. She's used the potty lots of times but we haven't really pushed it. I have 2 weeks before I start my new job so I figured might as well give it a go. Hopefully it works. We just need it done by February so she can start where her sister goes before and after school (they have to be 3 and potty trained to be there).
My H and I went to one of our favorite restaurants last night and I left my leftovers on the counter overnight. Sad panda. I'm also starving, have no breakfast so am munching on chips and salsa at 9am.

I've replied to any of her comments that I've seen. I'm not sure if I should post more, because I don't want to draw attention if people aren't already aware of the situation.
On my flight today, I sat in the window seat. The guy in the middle seat reached over me and slid the window shade up during take off and landing. He didn't even say excuse me. Rude!

My sister was just talking about SoulCycle two minutes ago. She went on Tuesday and saw Evelyn Lozada from Basketball Wives there in NYC. I had never heard of SoulCycle before she mentioned it!

I know. If he wanted window privileges, he should have booked a window seat!

You'll have fun! Just remember, the best part about a cycle class is that you control how much torque or resistance you have on the bike.
