Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Jesus, msbelle, that's unfair. And complete asshattery.
ANd then I got a you have been in a mood for 3 weeks what is the deal talk.
'You owe me $40 and a half day that's what." And next time anyone tries to stop you leaving "family obligation" is true-you are family too and you need to make sure you are taken care of. Too often, we all will give non-nego for kids' stuff, but somehow not for us. I wish my bosses on everyone-they believe self care and cannot-deal-meltdown days are legit unplanned sick leave.
And of course, today was one of those days I should have indulged (I was really uncomfortable and it made me snappy) but because there was shit I wanted done so I can forget it, I was in. Broke even, I guess.
Oh msbelle, your bosses do suck. I'm sorry.
My poor wee girl had an epic melt down before bed tonight. Not sure why. Maybe its the anticipation of culmination?
There was stuff I hadn't done he had asked me to do, but then other things were asked to do and other things and then the normal time deadline things and and and. I am mostly packed now. the dog is at his sitter and I have dropped off the key and written instructions for the cat sitter. mac is packed except for toiletries.
I am sure I am forgetting 10 million things and at least 3 of them are important enough to exasperate someone. That will be my tombstone, she was exasperating, when she was just a disappointment. bah.
No, your tombstone will say "The Nicest"
Insomnia. In som nia. Insomnia.
This has been a late night musing from my bed.
Right there with you, Pix.
I am sure you are all happy to know that a) pig legs defrosted perfectly and b) I somehow actually got to work at 7 am, which doesn't sound hard, but I have a hard time getting there by 9 usually.
ETA- and my office does not smell like pig, which is good!
I AM happy to know that!
Boo to your job, msbelle! But yay for getting away?
A pig smelling office at 7 AM would be a hard thing for a day to recover from.
I am awake because my insomnia likes an early wake up, apparently.
So stinking tired, but today is graduation. Last night, we were out with the kids way later than normal or necessary, because it was Noah's last baseball game (THANK GOD).
Before I go to work this AM, I have to find the grad gown and hood I wear, plus appropriate shoes etc so I don't have to come home and change and go back. Though I think I might.
No swim for me today.
Not that your job does not completely suck, msbelle, but I misunderstood you yesterday and thought they weren't letting you got to New York! I'm glad that's not true, anyway. I hope you and mac have a good trip.
Sara's fifth grade graduation is today. I could swear she was an infant *yesterday*.
