Wednesday Whatevers

[doriswe]

The weird date guy sent me a message that says "I kinda miss you" lol...oh honey!

I just sent my boss an email and then went over to explain "it's just to demonstrate the general level of asshattery." Then I told him I have to go work and air quoted work, lol! I love that he's cool with all the weirdness.

[tiramisu]

Oh wow doriswe, weird date guy definitely seems to be a bit much. LOL at your interaction with your boss!

I didn't go to dance last night because I was feeling exhausted and had a headache. I kind of wish I had, but I'm also glad I relaxed and did a lot of nothing. I acknowledged out loud yesterday that I'm pretty close to burnt out right now. We're all counting down the days until spring break. I have jury duty two days before it starts and then the day after that I'm attending a conference, so it'll be like an even longer break. I think I need to set aside some time and money for a pampering day during the break.

[chalupa]

doriswe, yay for an awesome boss, and weird date guy is "kinda" weird, indeed. Who says that?

tiramisu, it sounds like a day of relaxation and pampering is in order

I got out of an all-day training today, so I am happily working from home AND my calendar is blocked off for this 9 hour training session, and I'm not going to update it.

[doriswe]

Also, does anyone have a memory foam pillow? I just bought one and am wondering what the adjustment period should be? I have been struggling with headaches and I know my old pillow sucks so I got one over the weekend but now am feeling it in my shoulders/neck. Will it get better or does this also suck? I'm also looking at a memory foam mattress and this is making me wonder if that's a good idea?!?

My mattress is memory foam and we both love it (it's a costco one - Novaform or something).

My pillow is memory foam + some fiber fill (from Nest bedding) and it did indeed solve my neck pain. I think finding the right pillow height to fill the space between my ear and shoulder was probably more important than the fill material, but I like that it doesn't go flat during the night. I thought it was a ridiculous price to pay for a freaking pillow, but it had a guarantee on it, so I figured I might as well give it a try. I did not send it back  SaveSave

[bullygirl979]

doriswe, oh, lol. Poor guy.

chalupa, I will have to check those out! I just bought new pillows a month ago and they are already flat!

[udscoobychick]

doriswe, I bought this one back in 2017 after looking up best pillows for side sleepers. It does seem to make a difference, although it's a tiny bit high when I'm sleeping on my back (I switch throughout the night). I like that it's not just a memory foam pad, so it's still somewhat shape-able.

I'm back to work today. Thank goodness Wegmans delivers! We ordered plain bagels, soup, saltines and gatorade yesterday, ahahaha.

I had one that I loved for years. I got rid of it after the accident because it was making my neck pain and headaches worse, but now I wish I'd just stored it in the closet to try again as I healed. I haven't loved any of the pillows I've tried since.

I just tried to look for it and it doesn't seem to exist anymore. This one appears to be the closest:

I'm going to be collecting recommendations from this thread too! I think I need to get a new pillow.

[doriswe]

This is what I got. I'm currently not loving it. They were hella cheap, so I should acknowledge you get what you pay for. I'm going to give it a week to see if it is just an adjustment period.

I tried that pack a few years ago and demoted them to the guest room after 1 night, lol. SaveSave

I am geeking out that Andrew Johnson (a meditation app coach recommended by tiramisu) requested to follow me on instagram. I listen to his app every night to fall asleep. How cool!

Wegmans delivers now?!?!? Wonder if they'll deliver here LOL.

[cuddlyevil]

doriswe, weird guy's weird.

Not sure if you will remember, but the guy who told me that he had a crush on me while he was out of the country for 8 months has been messaging me again. I am not sure what he's up to. He knows that I am not interested in him. It's just odd timing.

Yes, it's through instacart, which we finally have. I wouldn't use it routinely, as the deliver charge was $9.99, plus a service charge, plus a tip. However, being that neither one of us was setting foot out the door, it was a total lifesaver.

Ugh, WTF to that dude.

[idahome]

Why do coworkers find it so difficult to have direct conversations? Instead of coming to me about an email I sent, my coworker went to his boss who went to my boss who came to me. I can’t handle people doing that.

I’m boycotting work tonight. Looking forward to going to bed early and reading.

We have a service called shipt, it's like prime in that there's a membership fee after a trial period and there's free delivery for orders of $35 or more. It's really nice on busy weekends.

You can sign up for a membership with instacart, too. Or just pay the delivery charge. I got free delivery on my next order plus $5 off, so I'll definitely use it again. After that, though, I probably won't. I can see where it'd be awesome though, around the holidays or if you are hosting an event or if you're sick. P and I have never been sick at the same time so we've never been in the situation where neither one of us leaves the house.

[cuddlyevil]

I used shipt when I was housebound because of the flooding, it was great.
