I have a job. I work 6 days a week. 8-3 4 days a week and 8-12 2 days a week. I'm so busy I have no internet play time. Good things about the job are that I'm so close I don't even have to cross a street to get to work (I live on a city block). So I get to go home to take Chef D out and have lunch. Somedays I can even take Chef D to work. I can wear pretty much anything I want. Most days I'm in jeans and a nicer top.
What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests. Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

Ditto this. As much as it sucks that he's not seeing a doctor, I'm glad you're not paying. He could have asked his parents. He chose not to. Sucks for him.

And here come ther storms they've been predicting we'll get all day, so I won't be surprised if I end up losing power. In fact it flickered while I was typing this message.
I'm here, I never go out. I swear, 4 years ago I would have never pictured this to be my life now, but I'm totally cool with it.
Aryn, seriously I try not to make judgments on people's FI/H, but yours sounds like a douche who is taking advantage of the situation. I'm glad you put your foot down with the job thing, and with his ankle now. I would be really close to making major decisions if I were in your shoes right now.
Hey there. H is stuck at work, so it's just me and the pups right now.
Petal there's a whole lot going on in your sig pic and I'm not quite sure I understand it all. Is your FI in a cage? What's going on over there?
JK i'm sooooo jealous you're doing that run. I wanted to do the one in MD last October, but I never signed up for it. I'm actually glad I didn't because it was the innaugural run and it was apparently horrendously planned. Some people didn't even get to run traffic backed up so bad.
Thanks guys, we're not at all ready, so we aren't even kidding ourselves that we might "survive" (we won't), but we just want to do all the obstacles and cross the finish line. We have Warrior Dash in a month, so we want to to be in better shape to do better for that.
The dogs have fleas and it's driving me crazy. We have to super clean the carpet in the entire apartment. They've had flea baths and have their flea medicin on them, but they're coming from somewhere.
Aryn I will ditto DNB. I think about you and your situation every time I see you post.
Hey MK! It's more like fence material that looks like a cage. I made a joke about it being a cage and next thing the photographer had FI in it and found me a stick. Just random.
It rained all day today from when I left for work at 6:30 till about 4:00. Even then it has still been sprinkling on and off.
I plan to start the Couch to 5K program this summer, but want to build up my stamina a little before I get started. Since I don't have to be at work until 11 for the foreseeable future I'm going to start going in early a few times a week and walk around campus before I actually have to be at the office.
I work for a small timeshare place. They have 2 locations here in NOLA. One has 19 units the other 12. They do EVERYTHING by hand. One lady says "DO NOT EMAIL ME - I WILL NOT READ IT". She's in her 60's, been there for 17 years, doesn't like change, feels threatened by younger people, blah, blah.
The owner wants to become more electronic. His son is trying to make changes, but everything he touches fails. Which is one reason the no-email lady is having problems.
The bookkeeper is strange and not completely bright. I've caught him sleeping a few times last week. All the sudden I start hearing snoring. It's pretty funny. He rarely takes messages, which means things are not getting done. I think he feels threatened also, as I've been give certain access that he also as, but not the no-email lady.
It's be interesting. I've already starting automating processes that actually work, so I'm starting to win the no-email lady after only working a few weeks. She actually lets me touch her reservation book, which is something guys who have been working there for 2 years can't say - LOL.
I don't think the owner is going to get rid of anyone (been there so long, bookkeeper has a son with downs, no-email lady just lost her husband, 3 year old grandson has cancer, etc, etc.) but there to make sure it all runs smother than it does now.

Hi ladies! I'm going to FI's in a bit, but I'm here for now.
Aryn, I'm glad you aren't going to pay for his ankle. Maybe this will show him he needs to man up and get a real job so that he can pay for things like this when they arise. And yay for the new baby! Is this C's family or S's family? And is it a boy or a girl? How far apart in age are they? How many more questions can I ask?
Yeah we're pretty positive it's from other apartments. It just sucks. We have 4 dogs and I have NEVER had a dog get fleas before. Ever. It's obnoxious.
I hope you find a way out of your situation quick.

I loved The Help. Both the book and the movie.
