Thursday Randoms

I'm super tired.

I went to the gym yesterday for the first time in almost 3 weeks, and suprisingly ran 4 miles.  I was expecting to be pooped after 2.  Must have been all my pent up energy. 

Little things have been annoying me at work lately.  My boss asked me to close out of a spreadsheet so she could modify it, but I didn't even have it open.  I hadn't had it open for 10 minutes, and told her so.  She said, "well you were in it just a second ago"  Um....no I opened it to check ONE thing 10 min ago and then closed it right away because I know it's a shared file.  It really annoyed me for some reason.

Re: Thursday Randoms

  • Congrats on going to the gym!  I hope work gets better.  I think the week after a great long weekend makes me a bit grouchier too.

    Our old mailbox, the one that came w/our house has been falling apart.  It's all rusted and it got hit by the snow plow last winter so the post was busted too.  We had jimmied it with zipties but it had lived its life. 

    So, we had a $10 off card to Lowes, and then we got $50 gift card to Lowes from the points program on our debit card. 

    Our total cost for the new mailbox?  $1.34.

  • We've had the garage sale open for 54 minutes now and have only had one person stop. I really hope it picks up soon!

    If I wasn't at work I would stop by!  I think it's still kind of early in the day.

    There is a farmers market at Metro Health plaza on Thursdays from 9:00-1:00.  I would love to go, but I'm working.  Why can't they be open past 5:00 or open on a Saturday?  Another stupid thing that annoys me.

    "Ok"

    "That order is on hold with the accounting department."

    Rant rant rant rant rant...

    "What do I need to do to get it released?"

    But I'm sure their situation is different and they deserve special treatment and anything that's wrong is your company or someone else's fault.  Eh?

  • So, question.  My flight leaves at 6:25 tomorrow morning out of GRR, I already checked in online and have no baggage to check.

    What time would you get to the airport?  It's honestly taken Andy and I about 10-15 minutes max to get to our gates at GRR.

    Hmmm I don't know since you already checked in.  Security will probably only take 10 minutes, if that.  I would probably get there at 5:45....I'm assuming boarding starts at 5:55.

    That's what I was leaning towards.  I didn't know if that was cutting it too close or not, but I hate just sitting around too.

    I just sent my friend a long email about the responsibilities of having a dog.  Her and her husband just bought their first house, and she told me her H wants a dog and wanted my thoughts on it.  They both work full time, he goes to school full time on top of that, and they both have very active social lives.  Oh, they're also doing some work to the house too.  Not at all impossible to have a dog, but difficult IMO.  And she's never had a dog before, only cats.  I'm afraid that they'll get one and realize how hard it can be, especially for someone who has never owned a dog.  I hope she doesn't take it the wrong way, I would just hate to have them regret getting a dog and seeing the dog suffer because of it.

    I think it's good that you were honest with her.  She asked for your thoughts, so it's not like you were just randomly going off on a tangent on her.  Hopefully now she can take all of the information in and make an informed decision.

  • So I got the depo shot a few days ago and man it looks weird right now. It's red and a bump where they did the shot (normal), but it's quite red and irritated around the area. Is that normal? Sometimes I bruise, but this is not a bruise unless red can be a bruise.
