ahhh the afternoon lull

shellydiane820

It always gets dead around here my last hour of work.  I'm assuming because everyone else is on the way home.

Who's got one more hour?

Celles

I've got three more, so respectfully -- shut up. 

Stackeye210

I have 15 more minutes.  I have a serious love/hate relationship with these 4 - 10 hour shifts.

I do   The longest hour of the day...

laurenclaire1386

I'm gonna stay a little while longer at work, but not quite an hour. I am a lazy ass.

Brie2010

Meeee.  I've been doing godawful boring CLE credits all day.  Thank goodness I escaped to a private area with wireless halfway through the morning session.

I'm jealous of everyone that has one more hour - I'm looking at 1.5, and that's if I'm a bad girl that leaves early.  Blah. 

But at least I've got the FF/Grey's/Practice thing tonight.  )

shellydiane820

oh celles, i'm sorry

This last hour kills me, all my work is done, and I have nothing to do but dread the traffic I'm going to be sitting in.

Ew.  My condolances, I HATE those.

I've been sooooo sleepy all day. I really want to go home and nap, but I'm sure if I nap, I won't be able to sleep at all tonight. There are just some days where I can't wake up, even if I've had a decent (8 hours) amount of sleep the night before.

shellydiane820

LC, that was me yesterday.  I was so tired.  I fell asleep on the couch around 8:30, went to bed and then got up at about 7:45.

I don't know why, but I just want to go home so I can go work out.  I think its because i wore my spanx today and they always make me feel fat.

I seriously thought I was going to fall asleep.  And now my boss wants me to do another 7 hours with her tomorrow.  DO NOT WANT.  Especially because I don't even HAVE to do any this year (besides ethics) because it's my first year of admission to the bar.  Lame.  At least they'll roll over to next year.

You can help me pick something out for dinner!  I have to run to the store after work and H works till 8 so I need to grab something quick for dinner.  We haven't gotten groceries yet so basically anything I make needs to be picked up tonight and I'd like it to be quick since it's a late dinner.  Also, healthy is best.  I've been sitting here thinking about it for awhile now and nothing is coming to mind.

Ughh I have three hours left. Thursday and Friday are my late shifts 

I've basically been looking at invitations aaaaallll day long and still have gotten nowhere with deciding!

I've made this before and it's super quick and easy. Serve over pasta, whole wheat if you're really serious about healthy.

shellydiane820

I had chicken tacos the other night, those were delicious.  I cooked the chicken in this black bean/cilantro salsa.  It was tasty.

Or stirfry, that's always a good choice!

We're having turkey burgers tonight, but I'm kind of wishing we were having pizza instead.

wcvsb3b5

I feel your pain, LC. I am so ready for a nap but even if I was out soon I could definitely see myself falling asleep for a nap and not waking up until the morning!

Celles

That's so funny.  I was just about to suggest turkey burgers with baked fries!

emilyinchile

I have another hour too. We have our company end of busy season party tonight, which promises to be a shitshow, and I'm excited, so this hour is of course feeling more eternal than usual.

Whaaa?  How long is your reporting cycle?  Ours is 30 hrs in 3 years and I still think its pretty miserable.

samurai21

I wish I didn't have a lull while waiting for FI to get home. Otherwise I wouldn't have logged into facebook and seen one of our friends status as saying "transvaginal ultrasounds hurt! no fun!!!"

Some things are not meant for facebook. Ew.

shellydiane820

Sam that's gross.  I had to block status updates from one of my bridesmaids who was expecting.  She was always giving us updates on her vagina.  Not her baby, but the vagina.  The mucus stripping (I don't know what that is and I'd rather not) and how dialated she was.  It made me want to throw up.

[Deleted User]

Thanks girls, either idea would work fine.  I didn't lay any meat out so burgers are out but we haven't had stir fry in awhile so that might work.

LC- that sounds so good, I will probably stock up on some main ingredients and do that tomorrow!

15 hours a year plus 2 ethics.  First year of admission you just have to do the ethics. 

I am also debating whether to go shopping after work.  I am kind of panicking about my half on Saturday and for some reason I think a new shirt to wear will help.

Celles

I just remembered that Mark Martin is going to be doing some kind of event at work this afternoon.  That should help the three -- now two hours and forty minutes -- go by a little more quickly.

samurai21

She's not even pregnant or trying. From all of her facebook status's I guess she might have a cyst. I feel bad for her because she got married and then a week later her husband went into basic and I know she's lonely, but really? I don't need to know that a probe went into your vag and you didn't like it. I don't want to block her because she does update on our buddy, her husband, with new addresses and stuff.

Vagina news does not equal facebook news. It should be a community rule.

AmoroAgain

I've had a shittastic day that started with being heavily jetlagged, then found out that my BFF is sleeping with a married man, and it's just all kind of gone down hill from there.  Round about the time I told her she should have a little pride and class and not help destroy someone's marriage, she stopped talking to me.  Today is awesome.

shellydiane820

oh if you like turkey burgers, i have an apricot glaze recipe to use.  Its awesome!

missy68

I have 2 minutes left - then 15 before couch and Imitrex.

Brie2010

This thread has it all--infidelity, turkey burgers, lawyers AND vaginas! 

Sorry, Amoro.  That sucks.  Sorry your friend's being a hosebeast.

[Deleted User]

We do like turkey burgers Shelly, send that recipe over!
