    I just taught the ladies in my office (they are my parents' age) about 4/20. It was pretty funny.

  • I'm lonely and bored at my new job.  I asked for a slower pace and I for sure got it but it makes me nervous if we ever get in a layoff situation.  I'm sure it will get better but I want to learn things.  I'm sure it will get better as this is the slow season.  I don't regret leaving my old job but I miss the people.

    HA!

    I came in at 7:30 to work and at 7:31 I decided to take a half day today so I can go home and clean our house and have some wine.

    I am actually excited to see the twins tomorrow and I plan to be that annoying aunt who takes tons of pictures of them.

  • # 1 - My boss gave his notice a month ago and I have been having a hard time with it as I'm not really sure I want a new boss, I have been secretly looking for a new job but feel totally guilty that I'm not giving my current job my full attention...

    # 2 - Josh's birthday party is less than a month away and I am getting no help from Rick with the planning.  I asked him questions last night and he just said "I don't care do whatever you want"...WTF he is your kid too, I need some help!

    # 3 - My birthday is next Tuesday (4/24) and Rick has done nothing...How do I know?  He just asked me what I wanted and what I wanted to do if anything...Ugh we have been together for 5 years please for the love of god use your imagination and do something for me that I don't have to plan/buy myself.

  • I hate Andrew's job (my old employer).  They effing suck.  That's all.  There's way too many things to complain about to list here but this whole situation with MIL is making me re-realize how sh*tty that place is.  He needs a new job.  I've complained about that issue as well but yea maybe one day he will get some d*mn motivation to quit.

  • I'm super crampy from my "womanly" exam yesterday and I have never noticed this any other time. I'm miserable and want to crawl into bed... However, today would be the one day this week I could come into the office. ::pity party for 1::
  • I have three research papers due in one week plus two homework assignments.  This is in addition to my full time job.  I really just want to do nothing this weekend so I'm working on one of them at work.  Embarrassed

    I did this some. I also took "sick" days to do homework. 

    P.S. How are you? I haven't seen you around for a while.

  • I'm kind of mad at DH.  We've been planning on buying a camper to actually DO stuff this summer and now he's not into it.  He says that the only nice ones we can't afford because we're poor.  Really?  I mean, not to get into it but we're not poor and we're talking about spending like $4-5k on one certainly not breaking the bank (and not financing it).  It just makes me so mad because I work SO FRICKIN hard and I feel like I don't get to spend the money I make.

  • FFC #1 Had a happy meal today as I was a little hung over as I had a liquid dinner last night with DH, the cheese burger tasted sooo good

    FFC#2 I'm so scared to give my notice on Monday... I really like my boss and hope that he understands I'm making a life decision. It is going to leave my team in a lurch as its heading into busy time with everything moving into production etc... BUT i'm so excited about my new job I am going to rock at it.

    FFC#3- I bought a first day of new job outfit yesterday even though I'm on a budget...

  • One more.... It's kind of an awe... I trashed my credit in college, trashed.... I think one if the 3 scores started with a 4.... 6 yrs ago I couldn't get approved for a car my dad had to buy it for me... Today I was approved at the best level of financing at the dealer for my car...I worked hard at restoring my credit

  • With the reading I have been doing lately, I have been thinking I wish I could write. In school I was always in honors english classes and did well and liked to write. I don't even know what I would write about, and it's not like I would ever get something published. So yea.

    Mary this is so me it is rediculous!!  I have always wanted to be a good writer. I don't have the gift of language or the creativity though. I took a creative writing class for fun a couple years after college and I loved it. I got a good grade in the class but I think it was more because of the effort I put in. It makes me sad that i won't ever be a good writer. 

  • Ditto Mary, exactly.  I've got a few started but I can't finish them.  I actually think I had a good idea for a book the last time I attempted NANOWRIMO (national novel writers month) but I never finished.  

    I've actually found a few of my 'to do' lists from when I was younger and they've always included writing a novel!

    420 at my college was like a national holiday. There were fireworks at midnight, 420am and then hundreds of students would gather on the common to smoke at 420pm. It also happened to be a day of no classes for most of my time there. It was hilarious.

    When I was younger, I was always writing stories, intending to make them novels. In high school I did write a children's book (illustrated and everything). I kept it for a long time, but I have no idea where it is now. 

    I don't think I'm creative enough to do it now, but I also have that pull. I really think it stems from my love of novels, like Mary said.

    This is pretty awesome, actually!
