Confessions!

I'm so sick of being in the office alone while my bosses are in FL have a blast.  There's little work to do and they're nonresponsive to me.  I just put that I'm leaving at 4 on the calendar (I usually leave at 5:30).  Just because we (me and bosses) are Jewish doesn't mean my ass isn't leaving at 4 for Christmas biatches!  Smile

Re: Confessions!

  • I'm covering 2 different depts at 2 different facilities and I also have my own work. Why the heck am I working my tail off while others are taking for the holidays? I plan on slipping out the door a little early after I'm done covering the last dept.

  • Hi. I'm here alone in my office too. *waves*

    I plan to take a nap in my boss's empty office later this afternoon... :) Had a little too much fun last night at the bars.

  • I posted a few weeks ago asking whether or not I should still go out on a date with a guy that is still living with his STBXW (she is a SAHM and will be living there until the divorce is finalized, he's buying her out). The majority of the answers were to run, not walk, away from the guy. I confess, I didn't listend and I went out with him anyway. And I'm so glad that I did! We've been out 6 times since then and he is just amazing! I think the biggest thing that was making me second guess dating him was the potential drama with the soon-to-be-ex, but that has been a non-issue so far. At that point, I had already started to like him just from talking on the phone and what not, and I hated to throw away what could have potentially have been something good.  I do usually follow advice when given, especially when it so overwhelmingly favors one course of action, but I'm glad that this time I went with my gut.

  • I  had cookies for breakfast

    I'm still in bed

    I am half dreading going to my dads for Christmas because of his unsupportive comment about my relationship on Thanksgiving. I told him SO was coming to Christmas and he is trying to make me feel guilty by saying, "So we don't get daddy-daughter bonding time this year?" Even though his girlfriend will be staying the whole time anyway.  The rest of my family is really excited I am bringing SO and I just wish my dad would get on the train.

  • I'm pi$$ed cuz I was really lazy and put off a lot of my xmas wrapping (which I do every freakin yr) and so I brought it all into work today thinking it would be dead here and I can get it done... WELL low and behold the grumpy scrooge CFO of our firm has decided to grace us with his presence today.. and he sits in the office next to me..so needless to say I won't be getting my wrapping done... URGHHHH!!!!
  • I was up all last night with DS, who has the flu.  My mom and little brother have it too.  I think it's a short lived bug though because my little cousin had it too, for less than 24 hours.  I'm selfishly hoping he'll be better by tonight (and I don't get it) because all of my friends are home for Christmas and we have plans to go out.

  • I'm kind of cranky today.  Hope the Christmas spirit starts kicking in soon!

    I'm annoyed that it's the day before Christmas eve and L and I still don't know if his family is coming over to his place from Canada, or if we need to go over there.  They seem to always make plans at the last minute, whereas I'm a planner.  If we do go over to Canada, I'm going to have to find someone to watch my dog, so I need to know already!

  • My confession: BF and I said we were not going to exchange gifts (to save money because we took an expensive trip to Seattle this month) and I secretly bought him a bottle of Crown Royal XR ($130).
  • I am so broke it's disgusting, but I feel bad about myself and I hate this time of year so I'm going after work to buy myself a $700 cell phone on my credit card, why? Because I deserve it to be happy, and if my life isn't making me happy then I will buy happiness and ruin my credit score because my STBXH already ruined it for me. Bada bing. Every credit card I own except for 3 store cards are maxed out. This should be fun paying it off for the next 20 years, but it's so worth it to feel happy for 25 minutes while I'm playing with my new phone. Ha.

    I'm totally an idiot.

    Any way the wind blows...
  • I still haven't bought BF's Christmas present, though I do have a few ideas I'm batting around.  Thank God we're not exchanging gifts until after I get back from Texas.
  • I have known for 12 days that my H has had an affair (which I think he has ended). All I have done about it is tell my friends (to develop a support system) and pick out new furniture from IKEA for when I move into my apartment at some point in the future. I have the name of a therapy practice and the name of an attorney and have called neither of them. I have not told my family or my H what I know. I feel totally stuck, in that I know once I set things in motion, there is no going back, and I just am not ready. 

    I know I at least have to call and make an appointment with a therapist to help me get unstuck.

    It's okay to not be able to react immediately.  You've started doing something, which is better than nothing. That first step of telling him is the biggest and most of us struggled with it. It took me about a month once I decided to really set it all in motion.

  • my confession:

    Dinner is at my house tomorrow so we went grocery shopping today and put all the stuff in my fridge.  My mom made a comment about how if I didn't have so much alcohol in my fridge i'd have more room. I wanted to tell her if I didn't have so much alcohol in my fridge I wouldn't be having a family dinner at my house.
