Wed randoms

It's 1 am.  But you're probably reading this when the sun is up, so good morning!

Willa had a dentist appt this afternoon.  The hygentist noted that one of her baby teeth is a little wobbly.  Her eyes got HUGE - she's so excited now.

WOP, how are the back pains?

Re: Wed randoms

  • Good morning!

    That's so crazy that Willa is about to lose a tooth.  All sorts of milestones for her lately... 

  • This is the first morning I got up before 7 in awhile.  Lots of stuff to do...

    I'm drinking a mug of coffee made with beans from my favorite roaster.  It's totally hitting the spot.  I skipped coffee altogether yesterday and paid a big price.  Other failures to take care of myself were also involved.  I won't make that mistake twice and I learned a cheap lesson that it is way too early in the semester for that kind of stuff.

    GRSP, my campus bookstore rents textbooks!  I have found, however, that the prices for renting aren't always much less than buying used on Amazon.  I'm also not sure what the rental policy is regarding writing/marking.  If I am able to sell back most of my books on Amazon or at the bookstore, I should come out at least even with renting. 

  • They just announced that my company has been bought by a company in England.  CryingCryingCryingCryingCryingCryingCryingCryingCryingCrying
  • Oh wow, Molly.  Do you have any idea what that means for your facility here and for your job?

    My former was owned by a group in England, too.

    No.  They say they aren't going to change "much" but they ALWAYS say that.  Crying

  • We've been family and locally owned for 63 years.  I'm so pissed.

    I'm sorry! Hopefully any changes that are made don't impact you and your coworkers too much.

    Oh, wow, Molly.  I'm sorry to hear that!  That would be really difficult.  I hope everything goes smoothly for you and your coworkers.

  • To cap off my crummy day yesteday, I left my phone at work and then got in a spat with B. 

    Today has GOT to be better.  Fingers crossed.

  • Yay for wiggly teeth! I was wondering about WOP too, after yesterday! Kasa, hope you have a better day!

  • I had a really craptastic day yesterday as well.  Early in the day I found out one of my former students had passed away.  11 years old. Sad  He had a pre-existing heart condition and was jumping on the trampoline, passed out and died.  Makes me just sooo heartbroken for his family.  Also, just makes me question "WHY!?"  But that is a whole other conversation....

    Yes, you probably do since I noticed you live in Kentwood.

    I think the grandfather works with my hubby. Because his grandson was 10/11 years old, had a heart condition and just died the other day.

    I decided a long time ago that nothing good happens on a Tuesday.  Today is bound to be better--if only because it's not Tuesday Stick out tongue

    I have also felt since high school that Tuesdays are the worst day of the week.  On Monday, you're at least somewhat refreshed from the weekend. 

  • I rushed into work to be on time for an 8am meeting and it was cancelled as I was sitting down to my desk :(   I have heads down work to do today, I'm fighting to get it done.

    Are there relocation opportunities? That would be AWESOME!

    I know that's not your perspective, though. I hope for your sake, the status quo remains.
