FRIDAY CONFESSIONS

MrsJenE · August 2014

Now that I'm back in the country, I can post pictures again...

SPILL!

RevJen · August 2014

I need to think of a worthy confession but I love this week's picture.

Not much of a confession at all, but I start grad school after labor day and I'm equal parts excited and terrified.

@SnShne322 Yay! MBA, right?

I am so ashamed to admit this one, but here goes. A coworker of mine is going to be taking her PMP (Project Management Professional) exam soon. I took it recently and passed on my first try. Not to toot my own horn, but 90% of applicants fail the first time. My confession is that a small, petty, selfish part of me kind of hopes she fails the first time. I know. I am an awful person. She is very nice, but kind of a dingbat and I feel like her passing the first time would diminish my accomplishment. I am awful.

Hooray! That's probably what I'll do one day (maybe Management). When someone will pay for it.

Barnes and Noble hooked up with Google Express. Same day delivery of all the books. For FREE. I'm obsessed. It is very very dangerous.

RevJen · August 2014

I google my former company to see if the CEO has gotten in trouble with the SEC every so often. It's coming. Today, from the jist of the articles I saw, I don't think he's going to be able to deflect it much longer.

I got out just in time.

I do the EXACT same thing with my old company. And every time something terrible happens to them, I gloat a little bit.

I feel bad for most of my coworkers that are left. They're the ones deflecting the questions about the jerk CEO.

Menrandes · August 2014

I got glutened last night, so I've been spending the day in bed in a lot of pain and just generally worn out.
I found out I can link youtube to my tv in the bedroom, so what have I done with my day?
I'm watching review videos of different LEGO sets and getting excited about this year's winter village set.
Totally a good use of my time.
I couldn't be working on writing or anything.

DH is returning from Boston tonight. I'm happy to see him and it will be nice to have someone to help with kids again but the other part of me wishes I could keep doing whatever I want every night. (Mostly just not cooking much and laying in bed reading) Since I've had kids I found out I like my alone time a LOT more.

I'm super annoyed that I reminded him about Mike's Pastry. He was eating dinner across the street so he got a cannoli from there and texted me a picture of it. He can't bring one to me on the plane. I know he meant well but I spent the entire day and evening irrationally pissed about not getting one of my favorite foods. Don't "tease" me about food.

I'm in an overall crabby mood; he doesn't have a choice about traveling a bunch now but I'm the one with major wanderlust and am perpetually stuck here at the moment. I don't feel like I can bring this up without him feeling like I'm attacking his new job that he worked so hard to get in order to benefit our family.

I'm in a similar situation. I took my PHR and passed on my first try. It has like 58% pass ratio and I'm kind of hoping one of my coworkers fails and it makes me feel terrible.

You know Mike's Pastry ships their cannolis now, right?

@cnthrdlywt2bwZ‌ I can totally relate with almost everything you posted, except we don't have kids yet.

The best part about MH traveling so much for work is all of the perks. I get to spend a lot of his airline miles and hotel points because he is too tired to do a lot of traveling when he is home. We take some trips together, but last year I did more without him than with him. I know these things are much easier for me to do without kids, but maybe you can get in a weekend away while he watches the kids or you'll get a chance to go with him soon. My SIL travels with BIL on a lot of his work trips, but her parents have always kept their kids for extended periods of time and I know everyone isn't that fortunate.

@SnShne322 Yay and congrats! I just finished my Masters degree. It was some of the most difficult and memorable times of my life. I enjoyed it even when I hated it.

You had me at cannoli.

I need to figure out how to come up with $5000 to pay off some credit cards that my DH has no idea about. #ashamed

Set up a google alert and you'll get an email every time they make the news.

Yes, I think I've heard this. I might need to get some. I'll probably make it to Boston either later this year or very early 2015. Plan on a quick visit!

I may have more than that.

Actually, I know I do.
