Macaulay Culkin looks about 65 now... WTH happened to him?
I just got a call from one of our contractors, during which we had the exact same conversation that we had yesterday about a project they're working on for us. When I pointed out that we had just had this conversation, she replied, "I know, but I didn't write any of it down."

Re: Randoms
!!! Oh Macaulay!
Dude.. wow. That makes me kinda sad. The last time I saw him was a few years ago when he was date Mila Kunis. And he was still skinny and creepy looking, but not old looking.

wow. He's so...pointy.
I am filled with rage today. I am working with an outside vendor on a project. I provided them with very clear deliverables explaining how their portion of work needed to fit into the overall framework of the project. They literally should have just opened the document I sent, and edited to fill in their piece. Instead, they have clearly not even opened the info I provided, and just did their own thing. It makes no sense at all, and is unusable in it's current state. We're now on the THIRD round of revisions for their piece, and despite the fact that I have made the same comments each and every round, they still have not looked at what I sent over, or fixed the problem.
Additionally, they're supposed to be providing us with a custom solution, but the work that they sent over clearly references products provided by one of their other clients - who happens to be one of our direct competitors. So they're obviously just copying and pasting their old work.
My mind. It's bottled.
Baby Boxer is coming! 5.23.12

He looks like he needs a cookie.
Boxer, I'd be beyond annoyed.
It looks like he took his role as a club kid a bit too far.
I have to clean out old files in preparation of our office move this summer. I hate throwing anything away because my boss lady has been known to tell me to toss something and then a couple of months later goes looking for it and gets pissed that it's gone. So, in the past five years I have worked for her, I have turned into a subject for Hoarders - Office Edition. I am saving the email I have from her telling me to toss out certain stuff. Even though I have it in writing, I am having a slight panic attack at it all. Therefore, here I sit on the Nest in a total avoidance of the activity. Productive worker, party of one.
I have another random:
I just got the following email from a restaurant that I go to.
To show you how much we appreciate your loyal patronage, we'd like to offer you a [free appetizer, saving on your total bill, or other offer] on your next visit to our restaurant..
It's our way of thanking you for your business
We look forward to seeing you soon!
I don't get it. There isn't a coupon or anthing attached to it. I think they posted the email before they finished their thought. "[free appetizer, saving on your total bill, or other offer]" Um, okay. Is this like that game show where you pick a door to see if you get a new car or a pet turtle?
Told you, I'm avoiding work like the plague right now.
Ha! Countdown to apology email in 3 ... 2 ...
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
Oh, goody. I will bury this here and probably DD soon as well. So, no quoting.
Douchebag.
Okla, I was trying to ask clarifying questions about your situation, but I can't do it without bascially saying "screw your common sense and post more info!"
So, I'll just leave it at, that sucks dude. Somebody somewhere is a douchebag.
okla and boxer, that sucks.
I am eating tomato soup from my favorite lunch place. When I called in the order, the guy suggested adding croutons on the side because they were amazing. He was so right. Also, he seriously had the prettiest eyes. Like, they totally distracted me. I want a single friend to set him up with. Great food crouton suggestions and amazing blue eyes! WINNER!
I want to marry our new shower tile. I saw it during lunch and it made me so happy. Also, I am glad we do not live in our house. It's a disaster zone.
Vague douchebag details.
sorry okla, that really sucks.
ETA: Boxer, I would be ragey too.
Okla and Boxer, those situations both suck.
A family friend and his wife adopted a beautiful son from Russia this fall. They are overjoyed as they had tried everything to have a child for years. Um...she is pregnant. I know this stuff happens but it was crazy to hear it happen to someone I know. They are so excited they will be able to expand their family. It gave me goosebumps.
At first I thought Macaulay was Edie Falco from afar & that Nurse Jackie was back soon.
I'm hiding in my bedroom. We asked out cleaning people to come every other week instead of every week for awhile to save money. Then the last two times they were here they didn't do that good of a job not doing stuff they normally would do- like fold laundry and unload the dishwasher. We thought maybe they were just in a hurry or passive-aggressive. So b called them to say something, nicely, inquiring if everything was ok because they didn't clean as well as they normally do. B talks via their young daughter because they don't speak English except for her. She told her parents and then she said her parents were freaking out. B was like no no its fine just wanted to make sure all was ok.
SO today they brought the daughter with them to clean which happens once in a blue moon & usually speeds things up. Well I guess they were nervous so they're making sure everything is extra clean and they're here for way longer than normal. I'm starving but don't want to get in their way. I may just go to sleep to stave off the hunger.
Okla, just because he wrote it doesn't mean people will listen to him. But that's such a douche move on his part.
Maggie seems to have sensed that the stuffed bone toy Noisy and Will got her for SS is special because she has resisted the temptation to pull out the stuffing for this long. She isn't keen on playing tug of war with it like all her other toys -- she just wants me to throw it for her. But the cutest thing in the world was the other day it looked like she tried to put it in her food bowl. She had been carrying it around with her, and I think she was just doing her usual check to see if food had magically reappeared in her dish, but it was so dang cute.

Oh my gosh! I was trying to think of who he looked like and you nailed it.
Damn. Maybe he's still sad about losing Mila.

I know I'm late to the party but I'm drinking (such a rare occurrence in and of itself) and am pissed off at my job. I think I am actually so mad I am going to look for another job. This makes me a bit sad since I really liked it until recently.
I was supposed to be visiting my family this weekend. If everything went as it should have, I would be with my mom right now. But I'm not. I am stuck a few states away and have a canceled trip because of work. I effing hate work.
I have had a really bad two weeks. I feel like I am at the crossroads of failure. Buh.

I'm sorry Peony. And I'm sorry Okla.
That's cute, Cali! I'll tell Will when he wakes up. I'm not sure if he remembers that he picked out something for your dog. (He did remember the fudge though, because a few days ago he was all, "Can we make that stuff that we made for my teachers and for your friend? That sweet stuff? Can we make that again?")
That is ridiculously cute.
