Two things Thursday

[bullygirl979]

Give me two things...any two things. Just post. Lol.

[bullygirl979]

1) There are layoffs happening at P's company today. And of course I have two meetings scheduled onsite so I can't be near a phone or computer. The anticipation is killing me, which is silly as I have a good job and we've already done the math. We can afford our current lifestyle with my salary and his unemployment. Blarg.

2) The laptop I bought less than 6 months ago wasn't working great in the photo editing program I have so I called in to the support team. The guy remoted in to my laptop and fixed it but then asked to see some pictures I've taken. Holy awkward.

1. My CEO is talking today about moving the whole company to a 9/80 schedule. I've been doing a 9/80 for a while, and I like it, so I'm all in favor for it!

2. TMI, but I've had more gastrointestinal distress since being home than I ever did in Vietnam (and I ate plenty of raw fruits and veggies and didn't worry about ice in my drinks there). I think I was born on the wrong continent.

[udscoobychick]

Oooph, that is awkward, bullygirl979. I hope P makes it through the layoffs!

[bullygirl979]

udscoobychick, thanks. I think he's got a good chance as there is a guy in his group so close to retirement that he said he would offer himself if someone had to be let go. And, given P is the newest guy in the group by like 10 years, he is the lowest paid which would hopefully work in his favor!

What's a 9/80 schedule? Working 80 hours in 9 days?

[chalupa]

1. It's my Friday! Woot!

2. I finally changed the locks on the house last night...15 months after we moved in. LOL. I guess all those people who had keys from the last owner are now out of luck, if they've been waiting for their chance to break in.


GL to P, bullygirl979!

Hope your guts calm themselves, udscoobychick.

[bullygirl979]

chalupa, ohhhh I forgot it's my Friday, too!!

LOLOL. I'd say they had PLENTY of opportunity to break in. And thanks

Previous owner had a Viper. I clearly park my 2 year old F150 in the driveway. People probably (wisely ) assume there is less to steal in here now.

Although I really only changed the locks because the deadbolt on the front door was starting to stick, and I figured if I was changing one, I might as well change them all. Lazy approach to security for the win! 

ETA: But now I have to repaint the front door, because the previous handle had been painted in place (WTF, old owner). So one task done, one more to add to the list. 

[udscoobychick]

bullygirl979, yup, 9/80 is working 9 hours M-R of week one, 8 hrs on F of week one, 9 hours M-R of week 2, and having that second Friday off. Having every other Friday off is really nice for weekend trips and for running errands!

[chalupa]

I used to do the 9 hour days/1 day off arrangement udscoobychick, and I loved it! It is so much easier to make appointments when you can plan around your available weekday.

[bullygirl979]

udscoobychick, that sounds awesome!

[neonpink]

udscoobychick, That sounds awesome. I worked 9 hours and had half days on Friday and really loved having that time off.

1. I have an interview with a design firm today. I hope it goes ok. It's been fun having some time off this summer.

2. I am still going to do a car sales thing on the side and officially all my paperwork is in to the state for approval!

3. I've become a car detailing monster. I really enjoy bringing car paint back to life.

[doriswe]

1. I have pretty amazing friends who have really rallied around me this week when I was drowning. I hope I'm half the friend they've all been to me!

2. I'm half convinced bf said "I love you" last night but it was in a weird, quiet goodbye thing followed by "have a good night" all strung together, so I'm all "did he or didn't he?" Or like "was that just a brainless thing like he says to his kids or whatever?"

[bullygirl979]

neonpink, GL on your interview!

[bullygirl979]

So, P's been texting me all morning. They've let entire BUILDINGS go. And entire teams. And, of course, his boss scheduled a team meeting at 11am. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[bullygirl979]

doriswe, how would you feel if he DID say it.

Mmmm....I don't know...like I'm fairly confident it's coming but I also think he's trying to keep things chill until the divorce is official, if that makes sense. I really like him and it's sooo easy to be around him. I'm not like stupid googoogaga but it's like that slow burn sort of thing.

Slow burn is good

[bullygirl979]

And clearly I've figured out how to be near a computer and phone. Thank god no one is sitting near me. The anticipation is killing me!

1. My grandma fell backwards off a bench at the ice cream place I took her to last night because for some reason she stayed scooting backwards. Luckily she doesn't seem to be hurt and didn't hit her head.

2. Being in NYC yesterday was great. I got myself everywhere I wanted to go, had a good time, and really enjoyed being in the city. I miss it! One of these days I might have to stay in the city when I visit for at least part of the time.

[bullygirl979]

tiramisu, glad your grandma is okay.

It is! I think I need to navigate a few more things before I'm there, though.

There's no reason to rush it. Enjoy it!
