Friday Confessions

I don't call it So You Think You Can Dance, I call it "So You Think You Can Sparkle"

I have to avoid talking about it in public or people will think I'm craaazay.

 

Re: Friday Confessions

  • I don't want to be here today! Last day of work before 2 weeks off :)
  • We are going on vacation with the inlaws starting Saturday.  I have been devising plans in my head of ways to not have to spend the whole week with them, like extra naps for DS, etc.  I do love them, but they drive me crazy very often

  • Even though our plant is shutting down for two weeks, I somehow have to work even though I won't be getting paid and can't go into the office because there won't be power for a period of time.  Oh and my daycare is on vacation (home) so I have to manage to do all of this with DS around....fun stuff.

    Thank you boss!!!

  • I put eggs on to boil this morning and completely forgot about them for 25 minutes. Oops. Can you burn hard boiled eggs?

    what the heck? what will you be working on? that doesn't make any sense... will you be answer customer phone calls or something?? Will you get flex time for it at least? Hopefully you won't have to do much. There is actually an on-call policy, if you're on call, for each 24 hr period you should get 1 hour of your regular pay (which isn't much, but something). Your boss has to enter that into your timecard though. I got on-call pay at Christmas when I was doing QN's (and didn't actually have to do any, phewf). Hopefully your time off is still OK though!! At least your daycare is on vacation the same weeks you are "on vacation"!

  • I miss working... I don't miss the crazy and manipulative co workers but I am bored at home!

    I am not looking forward to returning to work as I will be working with a new group of staff (i know them but have not working side by side with them) So I am a little aprehensive!

    After next weekend it is August! Yea... to "having fun"!

  • I am procrastinating at work because our plant is shut down right now until the 1st week of Aug. So...although I have work to do (office staff sill working) I don't want to do it!
  • I?m using a Dr. Appointment as an excuse to leave early today?I just done want to be here ? I have a sale to go to! lol

     

    I now know how seriously ill I am with Facebook. Tongue Tied

    Our home computer had a virus so we re-built it and the internt isn?t connected, a few more steps to finish it. So I have to wait until Saturday [tomorrow] to have access! It?s been 1 week and I?m going CRAZY!!!!!!

     No such luck.  Customer Support = Overhead = No timecards = No real flex-time policy.

     I'm handling customers and working on a time sensitive project that can't go on hold for 2 weeks due to supplier issues.  Fun stuff!

  • We found a Licks under construction in Cambridge and I almost pee'd myself with excitement.

    Jeez - now you made me go look at their website because one just opened near us and of course I want it.  I've only been once - forever ago.  Seems like it's about time to check out the new location. 

  • We got so used to have one near us when we lived in Oakville. Moving here was a shock to our system. I used to walk over to it after Joey's ball games and get him a burger, fries and shake. mmmmmm nom nom nom
  • I just woke up at noon. Yay for summer holidays, boo for wishing to get stuff done today and sleeping the morning away.

  • Two Licks locations near me have closed in the past year or so, but thankfully there's still one fairly close by. I loove Licks homeburgers.

    My confession: I'm still a lousy housekeeper even though I'm home all day. The baby is sleeping quite well lately, so I don't even have exhaustion as an excuse anymore. I guess I'm just lazy, and I'm afraid my husband is going to start resenting me soon. :(

  • I was hearing things last night and was convinced that someone had broken into my house and was going to kill me. DH keeps a big honking knife on his side of the bed, so I grabbed it, and sat in the dark with it and my cell phone. Yes I am neurotic.
  • I'm getting irrational paranoid on the internet since I've joined sites like theNest & facebook.  I spend half my time on those sites tightening my privacy levels and making "limited profile" options.  Ugh, it's making me want to just delete my accounts!

    Jen, there's a Licks in Guelph too, just in case you wanted a fix beforethe Cambridge location opens.  It's exciting to see them popping up all over the place!

    My Friday confession...I so don't want to put any effort into anything I'm currently doing at work as I am hoping I won't be ther emuch longer...

  • What is Licks? It's not on the west coast. Never heard of it.

    It's a burger joint. It is pretty good - but my opinion it is not as good as making burgers on the BBQ at home!!!! A little bit $$ though. But their vegetarian burger is excellent, I would say the best I've had. The one near me went out of business last year.  They also have ice cream.
