TGIF

Aw, that was so sweet of your fiance Dot.  And I'm the same as you regarding eating habits. 

mehgank

Dot - I'm the polar opposite; I eat between 6-9 times a day. Coffee during my morning commute (0545), breakfast at 0630/0645, snack between 9am-10am, lunch between 11:30am-noon, afternoon snack (usually a protein shake) at 2pm, dinner between 5pm-6pm, and another protein shake (casein) before bed. That's on my workout days 5-6 days/week, and on my non-workout days I just cut out the evening protein shake. I turn into the biggest beyotch if I miss even one meal. I get shaky and don't want to talk to anyone and just want to sleep.

I eat all the time, too Mehg.  I eat constantly.

[QUOTE]Thanks Brandi and it is Seussical Blue. Have you ever heard of it? It's so funny with lots of music. She has a lot of stage time in this one so she is super excited. I'm the cast mom so I spend a lot of time at the theatre feeding kids, fixing costumes, selling tickets, etc. I'm having some major teary eyed mom moments right before her graduation. I really hope she continues in college with the stage stuff. It's so much fun! I would be lying if I said I don't miss it. But t is even more fun to watch her then t was when I was doing it. I know you'll feel the same way as soon as you see your lo dance for the first time.

Break a leg to your daughter and the rest of the cast!  I have such great memories of HS productions, I got to be involved in the musical directing side junior-senior year which definitely had a big impact on my career choices.

Seussical is a fun show, what role is she playing?  Random fun fact - I took a conducting class with Steve Flaherty who wrote the music!  He wanted to learn how to conduct his own music.  Nice guy (and I'm a huge fan because he also wrote Ragtime, one of my favorite shows.)

I'm with AATB and Megh.  I eat several times a day.

[QUOTE]My favorite smoothie is more like a milkshake. I'd love to have it every morning but I'd have to make it before work. It's chocolate soy milk, PB, banabas, ice, and a drop of honey all blended together. So amazingly delicious.
Posted by Seshat411[/QUOTE]

YUM! PB & banana is one of my favorite combinations ever. Jamba Juice has a Peanut Butter Moo'd smoothie that I just love, even though it's horrible for me.

I mentioned this last night... but NINE emails later and I still haven't been able to explain to someone the difference between an email address (dining@company.com) and a website (www.dining.company.com) and why we don't need to include the 'www' in an email address.

I seriously give up.

Posted by Dot Dash[/QUOTE]

First, thanks!! Second, about how I find time to eat, haha it never really occurred to me to make time, I just eat. The protein shakes are new to me, though, that's a recent development over the past couple of weeks since H & I started weight lifting together. A lot of my eating habits revolve around my work schedule since I have to be up so early, and then lately I've been going to the gym as soon as I get home from work (sometimes for two hours).

When I go grocery shopping, I try to take into consideration stuff that packs easily for snacks and lunches and such.

mehg, you should totally try that smoothie. H's dad made it for me the first time we met. it's probably why I like him so much and have no problem staying with him when we visit.

There is a smoothie place at my college campus with this one smoothie that is so awesome. I was kind of sad to graduate because it meant no more smoothie. BUT NOW it's back on. Every Wednesday during the fall semester, Imma have myself a smoothie.

We have a Jamba on campus, in the building next to me. Now I know what I'm getting for an afternoon 'snack'.

I am craving Tropical Smoothie now.  This tuna is starting to look unappealing.

Steph, we have people like that at work. I've been asked "What's a URL?" more times than I care to admit.

I'll try to C&P some of it, but give me a sec so I can change my company website out ;) I might DD this later, in case the links aren't all broken.

I ignored, because it hurt my brain. This was our tech guy's explanation (clearly missing the fact that it was actually an email, not a website.)  Because we're actually '<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dining.company.com'">www.dining.company.com'</a> but like most websites you can ignore the www and do 'dining.company.com' and it works.

OH FFS. I promise all my quotes/unquotes line up. TK doesn't like that many quotes in one post apparently.

Wow you are patient Steph. 

cheeseandrice

Especially here. I mean, 99% of our communication is done through email. I don't get it. Do they try to type 'www.steph@company.com' when they send me an email? DOES IT WORK?

brandichamberlain

I find it amazing that people who work somewhere that has email and a website doesn't know the difference (in the sense of the 'name').

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Our tech people drive me up a damn wall.  Sometimes shiit happens and we get bumped off the air, and this will sometimes happen during non-work hours.  The engineers and techies always rig everything up so the ONLY people who know how to fix anything are the engineers and techies, nevermind the people who actually go on air.  They can't be trusted to fix anything.  And when we call them because we don't know how to fix the problem, they get really really annoyed with us OR they don't answer their phones, so then we are screwed.
