Good Morning!

How is everyone doing so far today? I was doing pretty great until I got to work. I'm wearing a brand new burnt orange top with a brown jacket type thing with brand new heels. The top is not clingy and is definitely more flowy. I don't like to wear clothes everyday that don't outline my body shape or cling to me. Just not me. So I walk into the office, this guy, Dave, is sitting in my chair. There are about 5 other people in the office at the time, and he immediately askes, "ARE YOU PREGNANT?!?!" I replied with, "Um excuse me???" He then says, "Well you're wearing that loose top. Like you're trying to hide something." Asshole. You've got a lot of nerve.

  • 'Morning! I'm getting ready for class (story of my life) I found out last night that I apparently have to start being VERY selective in what I post here, since I have a family member (I'm assuming) lurking, trying to start drama.

    Really?? That sucks. =/
  • Uh huh. I'd love to share more, but I'm pretty sure she's going to be around checking up on me. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeediculous.
  • Dudley, if he's got a paunch, you should have asked if he shouldn't invest in a looser top as his baby belly is starting to show.

    I'm just trying to find a working link to Vampire Diaries.  *sigh*
  • That sucks. I hate it when you feel and look good and some idiot who speaks before thinking opens his mouth and ruins it. I hope the rest of your day is better.

    I am doing pretty good this am. My internet is being crappy (this is the third time I have tried to post this) which means if I can't get my morning fix of TK, that will suck. My allergies are bothering, but I guess that is just life. Took some meds so hopefully they will be better soon.

    I wish this dang realtor would call us back about a rental condo we want to look at. We have to decide quickly bc our apt office needs to know by the end of next week. I hate playing phone tag with this lady.

    [QUOTE]Jill, you should totally make up something just to see if it gets spread around by lurking family. Something ridiculous. Like, you and FI plan to move to Morocco and become snake charmers.

    Ha! No, I was in the wrong about this one. It's something that I really should have thought, but kept to myself about. I was really, truely apologetic until a bunch of other unnecessary stuff came up, now I can't decide whether to be pissed or indifferent.
  • Yeah, she has every right to be angry that I said it, and maybe even about the things I said in anger in response to her, but really? It's the internet. It's not like I specifically identified her, and if I can't vent to a bunch of objective strangers without getting in trouble, who am I supposed to vent to? And the real kicker of it is that the post she's mad about was from a week ago, and another one even further back than that. Which means she's either been lurking for a  while, or she got on to specifically look for my screen name and posts. Grr
  • I'm in a great mood today.  They recently re-zoned parking on campus, and I've had to walk about half a mile every day since, but today I scored one of the best spots for my classification. 

    And my sister is bringing Luke to my office today so I can give him his belated birthday gifts.  I can't wait to see him <3

  • I'm...weird. I'm just feeling 'off' today. This weekend, I started having some pain in my back, coming through to the front of my right breast (not the breast hurting, just going through my body to that area). My diaphram area also hurt. I was thinking it was because I was slouched over pretty much all day Saturday and Sunday, watching tv and reading. Just strained it or something. This morning, it's stretched all the way around where my diaphram is and now is in my abdomen. Still could be bunched up or something. But it doesnt' feel very good :(

  • Good morning!

    LVB, have you had your appendix out?  Or have you ever had issues with your gall bladder?  When I had appendicitis a few years ago, I had pain all the way to the top of my torso.  Sometimes pain travels.

    Good morning all.  I'm sifting through piles on my desk.

    Dudley- He's an ass.
    Arb- Hell yeah for the good spot!
    LVB- That's weird.. maybe a pulled muscle?  Although I don't know if there is a muscle that could do all of that though.  But definitely strange.

    Edited because clearly it's too early for me to make coherent sentences.

  • No, I've never had any problems in this area. I'm just praying I bunched up some muscles while I was all scrunched up. :(

  • Morning! I'm getting ready to drink my first cup of coffee and get ready for a phone advising appointment at 10 (which I'm dreading) to try to get my school stuff for this quarter straightened out.

    My boss called and doesn't need me to come in today, so I guess I'll spend the day organizing more things around the apartment since we're still not totally settled in.

    LVB....feel better! That sounds horribly uncomfortable.

    Dudley...people suck, what an a$$hole.

  • Update on asshole:

    He just came in here to talk to someone, and was boasting to them about how he doesn't want to get into trouble for something. Then, he turned to me and says, "You're the trouble maker." He could tell I wasn't happy with him since I didn't laugh. So I said back, "Actually, you're the trouble maker." He replies, "I was trying to be funny." So I said, "It wasn't necessary, regardless of whether you were trying to be funny or not."
  • When are you making your Nugget lamp shade, Fishy?

  • Morning, ladies! After being at work for 13.5 hours yesterday, I'm not happy to be back here again. At least we get to wear jeans today.

    LVB - I hope you are feeling better quickly. Dudley, I second Fischey's recommendation that you question the ass about whether he's trying to hide his "shortcomings." Fischey, color me jealous that today is your Friday.


    Quick child funny. My parents gave us a gift card to Fogo De Chao for our anniversary yesterday. Since I had to work and he had to work, we are going tonight instead. Mom offered to take the kids for the night, so I don't have to worry about getting back in time to get them in bed for school Wednesday. Younger daughter tells us this morning, "I hope you have a good time, but not TOO good a time." I asked her what she meant by that, and she said, "Well, I don't want to have a baby brother or sister." Yikes.

  • Good morning!  I'll be in meetings all morning today but at lunch I'm going over to the mall to shop the massive suit sale at The Limited.  Hopefully I find something because I'm having to wear suits a LOT more lately and I really only have 1 good one and 2 suck ones. 

    You know what is hard about office dress?  Some days we have to dress up more than usual for a meeting, but not in a suit.  So my partner (he and I are both Directors) will wear a shirt and tie...what do I wear?  What's the female equivalent to a shirt and tie?  I've been wearing button down shirts and slacks but it seems, I don't know what, not enough maybe.

    Anywho blah blah, I'll be trapped in a conference room now for a couple of hours.  Bye!

  • TR -- I'm waiting for Vally to send me the final adjustments to the blueprints of said lampshade.

    Until then, I just like to keep Nuggs in suspense about when her fate....er...date with me is.

  • Good morning, everyone!

    Dudley- your coworker is a douchebag.

    Jill- I vote for the fantastically outrageous MUD to see if your lurking family member takes the bait. What a load of crap. Who does that? And then lets it get out that they're doing that? Duh.
  • Good Morning!

    Dudley-ditto everyone else. Sorry I have nothing clever to say. Too early :(

    I get to do screenings today! Weeeeee! (not really, this sucks)
    *Rafs Girl* Wedding Countdown Ticker
  • tex- What kind of screenings?
  • Distant visual acuity, Hearing, and Health. Not bad just lotsa paperwork :(

    *Rafs Girl* Wedding Countdown Ticker
  • Ick. I hate paperwork!
  • I'm ok. Still trying to get back in the swing of things post-honeymoon!  We stopped over H's mom's apartment on Sunday to check on things (she & StepFIL are back in Georgia for a couple months). Got some takeout so we could sit and eat there and show some signs of life for a bit.  We sat down on the couch and almost immediately swarmed by fleas.  Sooooo grosssssss.  We were freaiking out, packed everything up and got the F out of the house as quick as we could.  Spent 15 minutes outside trying to clear ourselves of them off our clothes. They were up my pant legs, biting me (had like 30 bites on one leg alone). 

    We did the best we could, but knew we were bound to take a couple home with us, so we stopped and got flea drops, flea comb, etc for the cats. Put the stuff on the cats the minute we walked in the door.  I combed the crap out of them yesterday and found a few, drowned the little bastards.  We're going to Pet Smart to get these bug bomb foggers that have gotten really good reviews--gonna set them off at our place in a further effort to prevent them from multiplying. And calling exterminators today to get prices on having Mom's place done. 

    I just can't stop feeling gross, itchy and like there is stuff crawling on me and biting me, even though there isn't. This bug fogger kills everything too--spiders, silverfish etc which is awesome since A) our house is a spider haven  and B) apparently there is a mosquito who finds me attractive as I woke up with at least 20 bites between my feet and knees. Awesome. I hate bugs and I feel soooo icky and itchy right now I just want to cry.

  • TR--yeah, I agree re: pain vs itchy.  Especially when it's heebie-jeebie related, you just can't stop feeling it.  I guess mind over matter, I need to start thinking about something else!
