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...

The waiting is the hardest part, as I learned from an old Tom Petty song.

This situation sounds hellish with a side of creamed crap. Sorry you have to go through this.

Oh quester, that sounds just miserable. I'm sorry. I'd be more that a little emotional.

2 more working days before the people I've seen every day for years become IMs and disembodied voices one phone meetings. Manager still hasn't said a thing.

I'm sorry quester that really sucks. She's a bad manager.

I havent taken Vyvanse in 4 days. I ran out. It wasn't as horrible as I thought so now I'm trying to figure out a schedule to skip doses and extend my prescription.

Although if I had to work all 4 days it might have been different.

It's been so hot. So on the news this I think 7 days out of the past 9 have been record highs. Of course climate change wasn't mentioned.

My birthday is in a few weeks. Matthew wanted to take me for an overnight trip some where but I kind of want to be practical and spend the money on a new couch. He mentioned Dollywood but I don't really want to do a theme park. Gatlinburg has a Ripley's believe it or not aquarium and various museum type things that sounded fun. And air conditioned. I like air conditioning.
