Oh yeah, I hated the Hotel Circle hotels in San Diego. Bleh.
Idly looking at houses in the new location, and boy, there's a lot of barn and barn-adjacent decoration.
But the real question is, how much ship lap is there?!?!
So the business development guy I was meeting with (and a project manager, to pitch to a prospective client here in Seattle) decided to friend me on FB (he's also a dancer) and he looked at my profile pic and went "oh, the blue hair is so cool, why did you change it?" I was like "uh...I figured it was not business-appropriate for this meeting?" He said "eh, it's Seattle". Dang!
I have a fucking awful day ahead of me tomorrow. At least my pool is open though a good outdoor Druid swim would be nice. Predict working late because of others fuck ups and being bitter.
It's pretty much a nightmare right now. My sister is having a breakdown. And I can't have one publicly or even express my rage and my frustration and basically my helplessness on Facebook. Because that isn't what I am using Facebook for this last three weeks. It's a tool.
This is a nightmare and I just want my whole family to wake up and get group texts with pictures of their first day at school and then have the day spent with phones randomly going off because some people don't realize it's a group text and they basically replied all.
Jesus, Cass - that is a total nightmare. Your poor sister. Those poor kids! Holy shit. I'm so, so sorry.
It's so hard, Cass. Words cannot express how much I wish your family could wake up from that nightmare.
Cass , a so sorry. It is just horrible. too much
Cass, I'm so sorry that your family is going through this nightmare. You and your family are in my thoughts.
It is a nightmare, Cass. Keeping you all in my thoughts and spreading the word as best I can.
Agreed, Cass, that is a nightmare, and I'm sorry you have to be the strong one.
Months ago I sat down with my boss to ask for a raise. It finally came through and is effective this week. 5% is nice, I had asked for more, which my managers supported but HR rejected. I guess there is some company limit.
I'm happy this step is done though in notifying me, my manager forwarded the chain of e-mails with the information from HR and it shows that this all could have been done at the beginning of August, but somewhere along the line the approvals got stuck, as in someone didn't realize their approval was needed, so it sat FOR A MONTH.
Still, still, I have a job I like, good co-workers (in addition to my co-workers at home), and 5% is nothing to share a stick at.
