Re: OL Tuesday
Dear everyone,
I am trying to not get mad or upset... because I feel a little snotty for being that way about this. But, we have a client that sent us a graduation annoucement for her daughter. They had me just write a card out to her, and include a $200 gift card in it.
You know what I got from my company for the wedding? Nothing. In fact, 3 couples RSVP'd yes and didn't show.
And to boot, we have a kid in the office (PT basis) that is graduating this year as well. When I mentioned that, one owner said, "who?" Like he didn't even know who the kid was. We have 23 people in my office.
- Irritated nestie.

Oh, this would burn me up pretty good, too.
It appears your company values your clients more than they do their own employees. I can see catering and 'fawning' over the clients, but without wonderful employees to do all the work - there would be no clients to fawn over. It would piss me off, too.

That's exactly how I feel. And it probably wouldn't even upset me as bad as it does if I'm not the one that has taken on the role of the organizing birthdays (buying cards and cakes), office functions, wedding send-offs, graduations, baby showers... EVERYTHING... and then when my day comes, I got nothing.
Sadly, I am so upset over this, I want to grab my things and just walk out. I've always just thought that maybe they just don't do anything for anyone... but they HAD ME WRITE THE CARD OUT TO HER!

Oh, Brianna, I'm so sorry! I feel terrible not just for you but for your intern and all your co-workers who are too dense to realize that one person can't do it all. Hugs.
Tell the kid that works in the office to send in a graduation announcement. If your boss doesn't even know his name, maybe he can score a $200 gift card too.
I'm sorry Brianna, that's tough.
What if you abruptly resign from the party planning role? Would that make anyone think, "oh crap, we messed up" ?
Ha, nope. It just probably wouldn't get done. And I hate the idea of people not having little things celebrated, because I know how much it means to me.

Well... that's an excellent idea.

Sorry Brianna
I've read that flax SEED is useless because it just passes through your system and has no actual benefits. Instead they suggest flax meal or flax flour...we have some but I don't know the correct name because with it being ground up, it does have benefits. I have no idea how much truth there is to that though but it makes sense to me.
I was going to ask how much their normal session is because I'm getting my grandmother family pics for her 70th bday so I've been researching but now I don't have to ask
There are lots of photogs that do mini sessions, around that price. Or even full sessions for that amount.
Is Lynn Michelle around the same price for a session as McG?
Tiffany,
I hope she does another one next year, the earliest I can get Matt to agree to do more pics is for our anniversary.
Brianna,
That sucks and it sounds like you are in a no win situation. Sorry
Stephanie,
I sometimes put flax or chia seeds in mine. Flax doesnt make it grainy at all but I prefer chia seeds over flax you just have to drink it shortly after its made because chia will change the texture over time.
The last time I paid for a session with Lynn, it was $350. That was over 2 years ago. I don't know what her prices are now.
Dear Leslie-
This isn't you, is it? Police seek suspect in coupon package thefts...
Speaking of couponing, my grocery bill for the last 2 weeks (for generally the same items) has been at least $20 more than normal.
I think the stores are reacting to all of these extreme couponers by driving up prices!!
Dear Brianna, that totally stinks -- what a slap in the face! I honestly don't know that I would be able to hold my tongue in such a situation. You're a bigger person than I. *hugs*
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
I sure hope not. I don't have the patience to coupon.
Because I feel like I'm being whiney and gift-grabby... when in all reality, it's not the gift iteself that bothers me, it's the principle of it.
I just mentioned to my immediate boss about the grad in the office... he said "who" as well. When I told him who - he said "well, he's part time... I think a card is great."
Who are these people?!

I don't think it's because of the ladies who like to buy 40 bottles of mustard.
I've been reading and hearing from those outside of Texas (Can't remember if they live in the north or the east coast) but their grocery prices have been going up since last summer so I figured sooner or later it would be hitting us too. Combine the increase in gas prices and the weather wreaking havoc on some of the crops, it makes each thing more valuable.
Last year at this time I was able to get 10 ears of corn for $1; now it's being advertised at 5 for $2.
I don't know about Tiffany, but I was joking. The cost of almost all commodities and produce has increased.
Good Point.
We usually keep a frozen pizza on reserve, and I went to get a Digiorno last night at Kroger and I kid you not they were well over $9. Um, I'd just order a pizza before I'd pay that much.
I have always been surprised at the cost of frozen pizza but yeah, just go get a large from pizza hut for $10.
Buttercup- I didn't think you guys were serious
I was excited when we went to the store last week because those pizzas with cookies, wings, or breadsticks were on sale! But all the ones with cookies were gone :-(

LOL! Ironically I was out doing some coupon shopping so I didn't see this until now!
Dear Stephanie,
You will be surprised how much senior pictures can end up costing.
Dear school,
I'm excited to finish you up next week so that I can start rotations. Which by the way I am super nervous about.

I lol'ed at this. My friend who is nine months pregnant posted on FB this morning that she got stuck in line at Target behind an extreme couponer (she had an accordion file). She was not happy, although she might have had a more humorous view of the situation if she hadn't been nine months along.
