Final (?) coup de grace on the freezer meal saga. DH forwarded me the emails from his mom. They aren't even things she's used and likes. There's a link of a set of recipes she found and one that someone she knows made for a new mom. Both are on the first page of google results.

Well, that's fairly helpful!

The movers are coming today to move my stuff to the new house. Yay, new house! (Also, eek, strangers touching my stuff! I have issues.)

Very exciting, Hil! Yeah, I get the people touching stuff, but the alternative of moving every damn thing yourself is really far worse.

Loved the lift video! Very cool.

I have a feeling I'll end up getting rid of a lot of stuff as I'm unpacking boxes. I guess that moving is kind of forcing Marie Kondo's method, where you put everything into a big pile and then pick up each thing individually and decide if you want to keep it.

I remember the first time I was in a financial position to hire movers, and it turns out that strangers touching my stuff is AWESOME.

Well, one of the movers just packed all my obviously religious stuff, then asked if it was "authentic, from Europe," and I said yes, my grandmother's family brought the menorah over from Germany, and now he's all, "Oh, your family is from Germany? So is mine!" and it's all kinds of weird.

Don't forget how saying Goodbye to your obnoxious landlord forever will be Forking Great!

your family is from Germany? So is mine!"

What a shocker in Cincinnati.

Need to vent...

Changes happening at work have me unsettled. My team was kind of "broken up" a few months ago. We all stayed in the same place and were doing the same work. But we all have different managers.

A couple of weeks ago, the 2 ladies I lunch with asked me if I had been offered the chance to work from home. They both have the same manager, but different from me.

Well, everyone on the U.S. Support team we've been on together to years were offered this except me and one other who share the same new manager. I finally asked him if he had gotten the offer, and he hadn't heard anything. So, he asked our manager. She didn't answer him for most of the day, but finally sent him the criteria for the offer. Apparently, he and I don't measure up. But, there are others on the team that we know aren't high in accuracy or productivity.

So, it seems our manager is holding us to a higher standard. And still, my manager hasn't said a word to me about the fact that almost all of the people I've been working with for years will suddenly be gone on June 1st.

I suppose I should have asked her about it, but I kept waiting for her to make some kind of announcement. But, nothing.

So, I'm pissed and sad and don't know how to handle this without getting emotional.

And I'm getting upset just writing about it. I feel like the rug is about to be pulled from under me. Once again I have a reason to regret ever moving here!

Sorry, guess I had to tell someone...
