Grumbles and Gripes go here
Mostly because I want to moan and whine. My employer decided to close our building today and keep us from coming into work. Should have been great. But I had a candidate fly in last night for a full day of interviews today with a bumch of muckety muck bigwigs. I spent my morning from about 6am to 11 rescheduling this guy's meetings and finding places for the people to meet him.
I was supposed to fly to Denver at noon for RomCon the romance novel convention (how hysterical is that?) and there was no way I was going to make it. But my flight was delayed until 1pm according to the airline. Great news for me, I should be able to make my flight. I just went to call a cab and check in online and discovered that they had moved the time back up to 12:30, I might make it if cab shows up immediately but if I don't it is a 6 hour wait in the airport. Sigh, so I have rescheduled and won't get in until 10 pm and will miss all the silly stuff tonight.

Re: Grumbles and Gripes go here
My gripe is that I just typed out a work gripe and a stupid Nest hiccup made it disappear. A summary, my gripe is work. I wanna go play outside instead of in here doing boring, tedious work.
That super sucks that the airline bumped your departure earlier.

That website made me feel funny in my special place, mod. It's going to be a great time for you.
Burmuda, how's the twin pregnancy coming along? Do you post on the Multiples board? I was lurking there last night (I have no idea why) and I saw a post from this poor girl who's like 30 weeks and on her feet 8 hours a day and wanted to ask her Dr. to stop work soon. Some chick told her that was wrong for the Dr. to do. Dude, if I was 30 wks with twins there is no way I could stand for 8 hours straight everyday.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
And why is Target's website one of the worst things in the world to have to search through? A company that big should have better navigation.

My grumble is I hate my last haircut. It's getting worse as it grows out too. To "fix" it though I'd end up looking like Shiloh Jolie Pitt and I'd rather not look like a little boy.
And with that a confession: I totally took the scissors to my own hair last night in desperation and actually did some fixing...but not enough to make me 100% happy about it.
I think I'm going to have to break up with my stylist and that bums me out a bit.
I will post over there randomly but it's really only if I have a specific question. I do read a lot of the posts, though. I'm surprised her doctors are even letting her work at this point if she is on her feet so much. Every time I see the peri he asks what I am doing at work and if I am behind a desk all day. When I tell him I sit all day he says "Ok, you can keep doing that for now but that might change." The pregnancy is going along great, thanks for asking. Other than some regular pregnancy complaints, nothing bad has happened. The swelling is totally random and only happens once in a while. It's not even after being on my feet a lot. Last weekend I spent 4 hours at the zoo and there was no swelling. Today, behind my desk, swelling.
I start internal exams in two weeks and I'm not exactly looking forward to that!
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
Add to that Lowe's and Home Depot. Browsing their websites is a nightmare. I JUST WANT TO SEE SOME PATIO FURNITURE!
The new leather one by Amazon. I looked and it seemed like a better set-up than the ones with the straps and I like that it has a band to keep it closed now. Do you have any suggestions for a better one?
1. I am sitting in Starbucks, and between the guy pretending to play the drums and the teenagers canoodling in the window seats, I'm getting really annoyed.
2. I worked out with a trainer this afternoon and my legs already feel like jelly.
3. My iced coffee is gone.
I'm pissed beyond measure that my husband's boss is a big giant dickwad that deserves to be run over by a car and then dragged through a cactus field and dumped in a lake of acid.
Zane has been miserable at work for over a year and looking for a job. He just can't find anything, but at least he had a job, right? That's better than a lot of people out there.
His boss has seriously gone off the deep end the past two months or so. Today, Zane told him Good Morning, and he shoved his hand in his face and told him to Shut up. Then, when Zane was trying to fix something the boss screwed up (and of course has no memory of doing even though the sales rep and several employees heard him do it) he told Zane that he was stupid and his dead grandmother could do the job better.
Nobody should have to work in conditions like that. I want to go up there and punch the guy in the face. I want Zane to quit and just get out of there, but we really can't afford for him to be unemployed with a six week old baby and hospital bills that are about to wipe out a large chunk of ours savings.
Can't Zane speak to someone higher up about this? His boss's behavior is appalling.
Eek! Was it orange at your wedding or did you get it fixed?
Hmmm...did you see Anne Hathaway or Kate Hudson sneaking around the salon with orange hair dye in their hands?
I think that one looks great. I have a personal prefernce for cases like this, either flip of book style, because I think they look better and might offer more protection. But I seem to be one of the few that really likes that type of cover.

Nope, that's the guy that owns the company. I'm honestly concerned that he's going to get fired because I don't know how much longer he can hold his tongue, and I certainly can't blame him if he does say something. Every employee in the branch is currently looking for a job. The guy is toxic.
I haven't seen the new Amazon, but I love the M-Edge. It comes in a variety of colors and has another version that flips to form a platform that stands up to be read.
Buddha, that's awful. It sucks when the a-hole is the owner and there is nothing you can do. I worked for a guy like that. He was bi-polar (literally) and would often not take his meds and abuse the staff. When his wife broke down and told us it all started to make sense. I hope he can find something new soon.
Thanks dawg! I am excited for their arrival but not ready for it in the least! ha!
