Confessions

TB and TN scare me. I lurk sometimes but have never posted.

They scare me too. I tried to say hi on the GP board but it was really awkward.

I'm glad kiki! Yeah and the bump and the nest sucks. SUCKS. D&R has so many cool chicks with great ideas though, so I still hang out. Maybe the more I post the more they'll respond to me.

katiewhompus · August 2010

After seeing BPS I don't want to go anywhere near there. Knowing that there are people on the GP board who are actually wishing people infertility or miscarriages disgusts and terrifies me.

georgia_bride09 · August 2010

I posted on the Baby Showers board whilst planning a baby shower, and I occasionally post on D&R and Entertaining Ideas, but I would never post on GP or any of the board with regs (ML, MM, etc).

I confess I just lied to a sales rep about something because I am TIRED of everyone treating me like I am their own personal fuckiing SECRETARY. AND YES I AM YELLING.

So, you won't take minutes for us?

Or get me a coffee? No, you're probably right. I don't need more coffee... refill my water bottle?

danieliza1127 · August 2010

The only boards over there that I even check, let alone post on, are D&R and Crafts. Even the D&R board, I'm often ignored but I post anyway. I've gotten a lot of great ideas over there.

[QUOTE]P2, that is incorrect. It isn't talked about - some people go between boards, some are exclusive to one, and that's it. Nobody talks about it, because it wasn't one.

I had a meeting, so I'm late to respond.
But, every time I go and post over there, someone brings up a "board war". I'e seen it over there when I'm not posting, too.

<div>I'm laughing not so much because it's funny, but because it's true. Last Friday we were trying to scramble to close out the fiscal month which was a monster one for us and the branch president comes over and starts yelling at me that he needs me to do his expenses and make his dinner reservations. Oh, so sorry, here I was trying to make us some money, but you need dinner reservations? No problem, pal. </div>

That's hilarious. It's also the point where I'd make a comment about how much I was being paid to be a gopher...

kikibaby · August 2010

I've confessed a lot today, but I'm going to add this: I feel SO STUPID at work right now. I'm working on an account that I have asked a million questions on already, and I still don't understand it. But I'm afraid to ask more questions. Blargh.

mandysmear · August 2010

manda i can relate to that. oh yes i can. problem is i used to be the administrative assistant, but now i do accounting too. so i don't have time to do those tasks like i used to. frustrating.

akhensley81 · August 2010

manda, I can relate too. My company downsized BIG TIME last year and while I'm technically the Director of 3 different divisions... I also sit at the front desk because I get the most foot traffic in here. And I have 1 co-worker in particular who treats me like I should be the office slave just because I sit at the receptionist's desk. I'll be in the middle of filling 7 different job orders - increasing profit for the company - and she'll come yell at me because I didn't properly screen a call for her. Stfu.

pumpkinpumpkin · August 2010

#1. I go on both boards, because I still have no idea what really happened to cause a split, and I really don't care. But, whenever I come to E someone is talking about the split. SB, not so much. Maybe that's a big fat coincidence, but I feel like I'm going out to lunch with that friend who won't stfu about her ex.

Total coincidence, because it's mentioned over there far more that it's mentioned over here.

I'm done being late to the party.

katiewhompus · August 2010

I thought we let this die already....

georgia_bride09 · August 2010

Oh, I have another confession. I stalk swsmag.net (Southern Weddings), and I pretty much get filled with rage daily when I see all their gorgeous flowers. Of course, these are high dolla brides, but my florist royally f*cked up the bouquets, and I just get green with jealousy when I see flowers that are exactly what I wanted (full peony bouquets, etc). Pretty much all wedding bouquet pictures piss me off.

<div>I'm 100% with you on this, right down to the peonies. Except that it wasn't my florist's fault that I got married out of peony season. So I went with hydrangeas instead. And I hated them. </div>

georgia_bride09 · August 2010

Well, in the small town where I got married, there were two florists (mine is now out of business) and the one we went with had better word of mouth reviews as far as being more "modern" and whatnot. I regret not going with the other guy. I know he would have given me what I wanted. I got married during peony season, and I wanted ranunculus as well, but she'd "never worked with either" (?!) but promised me peonies. I think I may have a couple of peonies, but the majority of my bouquet was AZALEAS. I can only assume she clipped them from the bushes behind her shop that morning. And I thought we'd discussed wraps, but apparently not because I got big gold bows on them. And when you see them for the first time 10 minutes before the ceremony starts, there's not much you can do. Grr. I hate even thinking about it. /rant

But I am glad she's out of business.

mandysmear · August 2010

i have a confession. a very mellow one. but, i happen to love those little bumper sticker/window decals you see on cars... you know the little stick people family ones? yeah. i think they're cute.

temerityjane · August 2010

Seriously, the "oh my god, stop talking about it already" and "can we please just let this die?" is way more obnoxious than people discussing whatever topic they feel like discussing. If you don't want to talk about it, don't.

Posted by mandysmear[/QUOTE]

I like these too......but I hate seeing all the bumper stickers that include the kids names. Like a big pom pom and "cindy". So hmmm, that's easy - I watch you get out of your car and then follow you inside wherever you're going, corner little Cindy and then convince little cindy that I know her from cheerleading and we have ..... whatever it is and lure her away.

They're not very safe. Driving around where Trevor coaches soccer you know who plays for his team, they're # and their name (probably brother and sister names too) from all those decals.

georgia_bride09 · August 2010

I wanted to, Moose. Honestly, when her assistant (husband?) brought them in, I just looked at my mom like, "Are you EFFING SERIOUS?" and she was just like, "You can't do anything about it right now", and she was right. She actually dealt with her after the fact because I was on my HM and she'd paid for it anyway. But I was livid about there being freaking azaleas- FROM THE YARD- in all the bouquets. That's one of the reasons why I am glad to be married but don't get the warm fuzzies when I think about my wedding. I'd have a total do-over.

I used to want to put just one lady sticker on my car, like, "Yeah, I'm alone. Make something of it!"

Yep. I was trying to explain to my H why those stickers are bad and he was like "huh?" and then we watched an episode in the 4th season of Dexter and he looked at me and said "ohhhhh, now I get it."

wadingmoose · August 2010

My bouquet is one of my favorite things from the wedding. Even if I couldn't have done anything about it, I would've cried

I always feel like I'm overly paranoid about stuff, like I'm looking around for ways people can commit crimes easily. Perhaps I should've been a criminal.

temerityjane · August 2010

Confession: I don't know what got into my sister or why she did it, especially knowing I am VERY ANTI, but at my shower, she handed my cousin a camera and said "Get ready!" and then smashed icing all over my face.

I was so shocked and so embarrassed, I just turned my back and told her to get the eff away from me and get me a napkin (really quiet), to which she started throwing a fit about how it was a JOKE and I was overREACTING.

So as not to appear like a huge jerk, I pretended after a minute that it wasn't a big deal, but I had to go to the bathroom to compose myself before opening gifts. I was so embarrassed and hurt that she would embarrass me in front of my family.

The confession part is that while I know I should just let it go, I am still REALLY angry. The audacity to do something like that, KNOWING how I feel about it... she said she HAD to do it since I won't "let" Phil do it at the wedding.

SO. MAD. And I tear up a little whenever I think about it still, too. So lame.
