Sorry I need to add something then run.
I hate Office politics and drama! Honestly, I thought we were adults or maybe this is just how adults behave. I'm just glad to have a 3 day weekend.
Re: AYG Friday??
Completely agree. I have distanced myself from many people over the past couple of years just because of how they behave here at school.
Also, if your only rebuttal to my school leaving the Big 12 is to make comments about Bonfire, then you're an idiot and I'm glad that I'm classy enough to not bring up 1966 and a tower.
Lastly, dear students, learn my name. I even let you call me by a nickname. Two letters. Do it.
On a positive note, I know we've said it before, but I think many of you girls here are better friends to me than others that I've known for longer periods of my life. Kind of amazing.
Because of my real life and online life being pretty fully integrated, I can't air grievances about anything of importance. I don't have a ton to say anyway, but in that regard, I kind of wish I had started an AE or something. Oh well.
My minor Flame is that my body is falling apart. I'm too young to have to pop my shoulder back into socket using a door frame, a la "Lethal Weapon". But it totally happens on a weekly basis. Ouch.
This is one of the reasons that I'm glad to have a break from working in an office.
Moving day is tomorrow! And I have to work, so DH is managing all of it. I feel guilty, but am kind of happy to miss most of the chaos.
And our 2nd anniversary is Sunday!! No plans yet, probably just going to enjoy our new home...and DH's new grill! (he is WAY more excited about the darn grill than our house....)
Happy Friday!
Crap. That's what the "AYG" means. Argh. OK, well my post aired no grievances. I'm sure I'll think of something. At some point today.
Have you gone to a doctor for your shoulder? I had something kind of similar, and it ended up being an overstretched ligament in my shoulder.
I have left Bill with some pretty awful jobs to do while I go do something else--at least you're doing work. Hopefully, he's okay with it. Congratulations on the move!!!!
It stems from a car accident in 2008, but because carrying cameras and bags puts so much pressure on the shoulder, it's getting worse. I've been told that it can be fixed surgically, but I can't really take the time off for it. Fun situation, huh?
It's worse than normal today, so I must have pulled another muscle in there somehow. If I'm still hurting like this on Tuesday, Mack will most definitely make me go. He takes no BS from me on that front, and I'm a habitual doctor-avoider.
I'd like to air a TK grievance. I've had one knottie that's been trying to get me ousted and make me leave. She has sent 4 different girls to offer themselves up as the next mod when I step down... all 4 of them were told by this particular girl that I wanted to leave but didn't have a replacement. In addition to so many other things this person has done, that was the final straw. I am officially over her.
And to clear the air - for the TK lurkers (yep, you too Kendall) - I will be on TK for a while... I love the boards and the ladies on there. But, I also love TN and there are no rules that say I have to pick one board or the other.

Isn't it sad that one person can do all that? We were a fairly tight little board here in DFW in general and one person made some seem so unwelcome and unwanted.
Word.
Thanks! he's definitely ok with it. I've done most of the prepping/packing etc while he's been traveling - so I think he's really excited to finally get involved.
Amen!
That is one thing I really hated when I was working in the corporate world. I really sorry you are dealing with this. It sucks!!
Ouch that sounds so painful. Maybe you should go to the doctor.
I couldn't have said it any better Deepthi.
Wow.
Bio Good Times
I had to venture over to TK to see what you were talking about.....
It's really a shame. The experience that I've had with you ladies so far has been great. There's room for everyone on these boards.
Not necessarily a greivance, because it's my own fault, but I am hungover today. I met an old coworker - the one who was my favorite here but was a contractor, and left a month or so ago - for dinner & drinks, and we focused a leeettle more on the drinks side of things. Since I've been watching what I eat, I've been drinking a lot less (as in, hardly ever), and man my tolerance is low! So this morning I'm a little miserable.
Happy Birthday, BL!
I am still in awe over the TN/TK dramafest. I am glad that I never go over there anymore - I don't miss it! I like that this board is free from pettiness and cliques and all of that. I have enough drama in my real life, I don't need it online too.

Hopefully its all done now.

Happy Birthday BL!! Are you doing anything special?
I totally read "AYG Friday" as "Anything You Got Friday," and I thought, hmm, that's new. lol.
I have no grievances. DH's good friend is coming in town for the weekend, and I'm pretty excited, we haven't seen him since May!
I keep pronouncing it in my head as a word, rather than the letters, and it sounds like choking on phlegm hahaha.
I have no idea. I kept telling Matt I didnt want to go back to east tx but apparently that wasnt a dead set no, so he thought we were still going until last night, therefore he planned nothing. As of right now the only thing on the calendar is lunch with Wendi on Monday.
I had a bad dream last night, and broke an egg on the floor while cooking my breakfast this morning so my day is off to a rocky start.
I got defriended last time and I still think it was digusting to make grape cupcakes with Jello. Hater's gonna hate Bri, you do what you want.
We are visiting my grandparents this weekend and my cousins have decided they are coming and "have a special announcement." They were talking divorce a few months ago so I am sure she is KTFU.
Woohoo!
I find it very frustrating that my dad doesn't realize the phone (and the visits as well) goes both ways. I just realized that I don't think I have talked to him since our visit in July. This is not new news either.
I'm really tired of having to share the spotlight with someone regarding work tasks when they don't lift a finger and I'm actually the one doing everything. I could say something but, oh yeah, our suggestions aren't welcome.
Summer shows are coming to an end
YESSSSSS! This is a barter system I can get behind!
