Aw, that's a shame, sj.
Laura, that sounds delightful -- both the spa day and the visitors.
I was supposed to have dinner with friends Sunday night, but one had to fly home for a funeral, unfortunately. It's for a birthday, so we're going to reschedule the whole thing, which is fine.
Matt starts his class at the Theatre Lab tomorrow, which is awesome in it's own right and also gives me three hours to myself + travel time + he may have lunch after with our friend Dave, so... peeps, the place to myself for hours and hours! It just never happens, what with both of us working from home. I am practically giddy. I have no idea what I'll do, but... MINE ALL MINE, WHEEEEEE!
Ahem. No other plans except dinner out tonight at a new Thai place.
so... peeps, the place to myself for hours and hours! It just never happens, what with both of us working from home.
Whee! Yes, with both of us at home all day it is a good thing that he does basketball, and then I go north when it gets too hot, giving us both space. Solitude can be a treat.
The sapphire is set horizontally, so I was thinking a trillion cut shape. I'm bad on sizes, so I can confidently say I don't know at this point. (Wow, that picture is from 10 years ago; comparing it with today, that ring really really needs to be related.)
Yeah, you'll want to take it to your jeweler to discuss what the options are.
Exciting, Steph! I look forward to hearing details and seeing peektures.
Now I'm excited to be going to dinner. Good start to the weekend.
Timelies all!
I carried over the maximum amount of annual leave from last year, so I talked to my supervisor about taking time off on a regular basis through the year.(To prevent the end-of-year scramble to use the use-or-lose leave) Yesterday she said "How about tomorrow?" and I took today off. Got my emissions inspection done. (passed)
Only scheduled thing for this weekend is going up to visit Mr. S on Sunday.
Much ~ma, Epic. It sounds like you have a good support system in place.
I’m sorry about all the illness, sj.
Diamonds with a larger sapphire sound lovely, Steph. I agree that lab grown is the way to go.
Whelp, I’m getting a verbal write up at work for a phone convo. The employee has a grievance filed and since I’m not the lead on the situation I shouldn’t have done anything but take a message.
Fuck it.
I’ll be the least helpful employee going forward.
I was hoping to send a message by applying for an open position before I left work today, but there is nothing posted that’s a fit. Next week is going to be a fucking mess. My boss is having someone else do the write up, so I’ll be asking her if I now report to this other person AND if I do, I’d like to move desks.
Well, that's not a fun end to the week, msbelle. Sorry about that.
Dang, msbelle. You job sure seems to like to mix it up between asking you to do way too much for your position and forbidding you to do too much. Your boss outsourcing the writeup seems super weird.
That's a bummer to have all your plans derailed like that, sj! I hope you get to do something the way you plan soon.
Thanks for the update, Epic! Thinking good thoughts your way most of the time, but do remind me when the surgery is scheduled, I'll want to be extra vibeful.
I still think it's pretty amazing that lab grown diamonds are a thing. So cool.
