NWR - For the love of Pete, help me keep my job...

oceana919

I am seriously thisclose to verbally b-slapping a kid that insists on responding to repeated (yet appropriately spaced-out) requests for information required for him to go on a weeklong trip to a tropical island by sending me snarky emails and CCing my boss on them.



Please, for the love of Pete, post some funny videos or jokes or stories or I-don't-care-what to make me laugh, before I start throwing office supplies at his head and lose my job.

Thanks ahead of time...

She left early on tuesday because she had several appointments with DJs

She left early on Wednesday because of a dress fitting



The funny part is this girl is such a tomboy, she's being completely forced into OMG PRETTY PRINCESS day god help her when she gets married.

and Button...I like the new button! hehe

PaigeMcC

For cereal? This woman really needs to find an outlet for herself.  And planning a sweet 16 for someone who isn't so into-it probably isn't the right one

Button5807

Thanks Paige.
It's her only daughter and from the way she talks she wasn't very privileged growing up (though her and I have vastly different definitions of privileged) so I guess she figures this is her chance, I keep biting my tongue to ask her if she's wearing a tiara to the party.

A cake tasting - for ANY reason - is obviously a valid reason to leave work early. Seriously. Cake tasting for ANY reason.

OK here is something funny for you, and all the other etsy lovers out there

My mom decided today that she is going to become a seller LOL

oceana919

...of what?

ps. The mental image of you beating down a beotch at your bach party this weekend is giving me way more giggles than your mom becoming an etsy seller.

rickylee244

Afgans - she knocks them out for everyone for everything in like a week, something for her to do and she can make some money lol

I had suggested for my brother who makes jewlery but she jumped on the bandwagon

What?!?

Edit: Oh ok, so this didn't happen (yet)?

rickylee244

Saturday ... we'll see

Short version: we were out for our friend's 30th B-day and I was pretty drunk
This girl (who we know) who is obsesed with Oceana's FI was all over him.  Well apparently I told Oceana that I will beat the crap out of this girl for messing with my friend .... Oceana can fill in the details (I dont really remember but heard about my overprotectiveness the next day)

So I promised her if she invited the beotch who is stresisng her out to my bach i will make sure i'm drunk enough to take her out LOL

OH and these two people making Oceana's life miserable work with FI (one was actually a really good friend of his til he met the girl) They make him miserable too

I would agree with this if she wasn't the queen bee of BSC

Button5807

oh BTW Oceana I was wondering if you'd clicked my new button and if you approved.

Ana_2985

Ricky - Haha oh okay.  Well good luck with that and have fun this weekend!  You're almost down to 1 month - yay!

oceana919

LOL...ah, alcohol-induced memories...

So, as I was the sober one and my recollection is probably a little clearer than rickylee's, here's how the story went down...

We're out at a bar for our friend's 30th birthday. A girl is there who I was friends with at the time, who had a raging crush on my FI (then-BF). She proceeds to drink too much and start hanging on BF. When BF disregards the clinging, she goes up to the bar and starts hitting on some random guy at bar, who very obviously is wearing a wedding ring, and manages to scare him off. She then stumbles back to me and tells me point blank that she doesn't understand why he wouldn't hook up with her. I point out the wedding ring, and she replies with, "What do I care? I don't know that b*tch. I have no problem being the other woman." Given this girl's rather flaky approach to friendship (one minute she's your best bud, the next minute she has zero respect for you, etc.), that statement set up loud obnoxious alarms in my head, especially given the fact that she then returned to hanging on BF and whispering things in his ear.

It's time to leave, she's still hanging on, BF is trying to procure himself (he's a bit tipsy himself at this point) and I'm getting pissed, but my mother raised me not to slug other women in the face, so I step outside bar for fresh air. rickylee promptly stumbles out after me (after having downed more drinks than I can count) and announces to the entire bar and all the passerby on the sidewalk that she has no problem throwing down and that she'll "beat that b*tches a**!" I'm trying to shush her (but laughing too hard), she's getting louder and more adamant, and eventually we just shuttled her off to the parking lot and pretty much threw her in the backseat of my car.

Needless to say, it was pretty amazing.

Best. Story. Ever.

Haha!  Awesome.  Good for you for not freaking out and good for Ricky for sticking up for you.  That girl sounds lovely.

She couldn't have made these appointments later in the day? Like, when she wasn't at work..or maybe on a day off?? I don't think most DJ's wake up until after 3pm anyways..

I never had a Sweet 16, first real boyfriend broke up with me the day before valentines day so needless to say, it cramped my birthday mood too. I don't even think I wanted a cake that year.

I spent my "sweet sixteen" visiting my grandparents in GA, reading a driver's manual.  I had to wait until we returned to get my learner's permit.  A party was the last thing on my mind.

Many thanks to Button for making a mean person button, BF style.  I had thought I needed to get engaged to add the other version, now I have my first button!  File that under "Stolen"...

Button5807

Not a problem :-)
