Wedding Woes

Finally Friday!

This week has felt long with all of the training and transition going on at work.  Then, this morning, I have a client meeting that I was supposed to have the boss with me...now it's by myself.  Which is fine, but I have to prep a lot more and I don't know necessarily what for.  Then, I nicely told the other person on this case with me, hey, I think you probably weren't told about this.  Other person is the office grump and she decided to grump at me.  I just said, "I don't know why you weren't told, I don't know what you're expected to do if anything, I'm going into this meeting at 10:30 and letting you know b/c you stated that you were always left out of the loop."  It's a little early to be that freakin' mean and honestly, it wouldn't matter, it's unprofessional.

I left my phone at home this morning and I'm feeling a bit out of sorts without it. I don't think I have any plans this weekend except planning dinner for Tuesday night's dinner and a movie.  Some much needed mental rest after this week.  I do love my field and what i do for a living; at the same time the last 6 and a half years in this field I've spent an inordinate amount of time cleaning up files from previous people who didn't know what they weren't doing through lack of education and knowledge.  It's getting tiring.  I have a massive project to clean up again and I'm just exhausted thinking about it.

Re: Finally Friday!

  • @VarunaTT that sounds exhausting - hopefully once your through the current slog of "rework" you'll be in a good spot to move forward the right way!

    We ordered a fish fry dinner from a bougie farm-to-table restaurant for tonight since it's the last friday of lent! The chef, Grace Goudie, at this place has been on top Chef and a couple other cooking shows and the food is always amazing. We're getting fried fish, homemade biscuits with pimiento cheese and giant chocolate chip cookies!

    H and I are trading time to go to yoga classes tomorrow and Sunday we're going to IL's for Easter. We haven't seen them in a month so i'm actually looking forward to the day! We got the boys easter basket stuff ready and i'm excited - we got them each a new set of paint/brushes, sunglasses, and a tube of mini m&ms. Should be a hit :) 

    I found out my company is no longer supporting android phones and i'm very bummed. I could keep my phone and take my number back (and pay for it myself) but i'd still have to have a company iphone. Silly to me to pay a phone bill if i don't have to so i'm going to the dark side at the end of the month. I've held out for 20 years, this will be a huge change for me. 

    Weekends are starting to get busy and i love it. We've spent too much time in the house the last 3 years!
    That meal sounds amazing.

    Oh man, I'd be so peeved if I had to switch to an IPhone now.  Mainly just b/c of how much "stuff" I've collected and connected over the years on Android that would basically be lost.  Also, I just like my Androids better; exH had transitined to an IPhone and K had one, and I just didn't care for the interface.  It'd be a big move for me too.

    @VarunaTT that's such BS. Like, why be a grump on a Friday? 

    1 hour and 45 mins left of work! Got some errands to run and then off to the party! 

    ETA: not much else planned for the weekend. I'll make deviled eggs on Sunday and we'll just chill. 
  • @climingsingle have a ton of fun at your party! 

  • I hear the switch from the droid fo iphone takes a while, but some people like it.  I hope you’re in that group. 
    Glad it’s Friday for you @VarunaTT!

    i have to get my butt up and moving today. If I don’t get up and workout RIGHT when I wake up, there’s only a 20% chance I’ll actually do it later. Yesterday, I gave my car some love. I cleaned out the inside (after seeing the professional cleaners prices skyrocketed), got the exterior washed and bought a new steering wheel cover. Now, I must show love to my house. 
    I have my IPL today and may go see Scream since I’m in the area.
    Happy Good Friday ya’ll!

    Ma'am, you sent me into a tailspin!  I was like, OH NO IS IT NOT ACTUALLY FRIDAY?!?!  B/c I didn't work from home on Wednesday, so I've been a bit off this week.  I had to check the calendar.  

    :D
  • I got a little snarky without someone at work today; they emailed me a question at 3pm yesterday (not high priority, moderate not high urgency) and emailed at 9:30 to follow up. Umm that’s 2.5 hours later. No. 

    Dinner and the play Thurgood tonight with my bff and then seeing each set of grandparents this weekend. Thankfully they were fine with one on Saturday and one on Sunday!

    That's a valid reason to get snarky for sure. I hate when people do that. 
  • Fri-YAY!  We made it!!

    The neediest person on my team was back from leave full-time this week. They're already making me tired. LOL

    Tonight is Costco. Tomorrow, DH is going to his uncle's house to help him with brakes.  I'm making him take DefConn (which is NBD because DefConn *loves* DH's uncle and his doggos).  I booked a nail appt and need to get all my Easter shopping done.  Sunday is Easter at my sister's.  The weather is only on its way up from here and I'm loving it.  
  • I finally got my pedicure yesterday! I've been meaning to get it all week. Last night I helped with Maundy Thursday service. Today I hit the ground running fixing dessert for Easter (lemon cake) and a fruit salad. I just picked up some bunny cookies from a local bakery for tonight. DD and family should be hear within an hour or so. DS2 gets here around dinner time. Pizza tonight, brisket tomorrow, ham on Sunday. Tomorrow we also have a surpriseish  birthday part for a friend. Not sure how we are going to fit it in. Her daughter is a good friend of DD's. All her kids will be there. DD wasn't invited so H and I will have to go without her. I told her to text her friend and tell her she's in town and wants to see her and her son  (DD hasn't met the baby). Maybe she'd get invited! Next week is my birthday so this friend and I will go out for lunch with another friend. The friend with the party tomorrow and I have the same birthday. LOL I hope that made sense! Have a wonderful Easter to all who celebrate. 
  • Holiday for me today.  It's been so great.  I slept in a little.  Made myself a full breakfast.  Lounging around on the couch with the fur babies, watching my DVR'ed People's Court episodes.

    I'm jealous of the food spreads going on this weekend at @ILoveBeachMusic and @Casadena's houses, lol.

    However, I do need to get motivated and at least get some organizing work done at my house this weekend.

    Especially if the question is posed without a response time and it's knowingly lower priority. 

    If you send me something at 3:30 that "this needs urgent attention" I'll give it the attention it deserves.  Sending me a follow up that soon means you're a nag and I'm going to get back to you when I feel like it.

    My favorite is when the person emails me, "Did you get the previous email?"  The sheer willpower it takes to not respond, "I sure did" and nothing else is far too much.  I'll respond to you when I respond to you, don't send a 2nd email checking.
  • Happy Friyay! I should have taken a vacation day today. Between good Friday and spring break, it's super slow today at work and just boring. I think I'm going to log out pretty soon. @Casadena, that fish fry sounds amazing!

    Fairly chill easter for us. I'm hosting, but we don't do a traditional meal. We'll probably throw something on the grill and I'll just make a big salad, but I will do a fancy dessert of some sort. I'm keeping my sister's dogs this weekend, so it's a little crazy around here today. I'm hoping they'll all be tired and lazy by tomorrow to give me some quiet time to clean and prep. 

    Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
  • I love  my android, but I always get my mom's old phone when she upgrades, and she just got an Iphone.  So .... I might have to actually buy a phone when this one dies, lol.
    Sang with my choir for Maundy Thursday last night, then this morning for Good Friday.  So glad to have the day off - I left early yesterday as well because  I have a lot of overtime.  I just found out that I got my bonus for last year, which is nice, but it was less than last year.
