Good morning, and welcome to Monday!

I can not sleep! Yay migraine meds, and excessive worrying about work shit!

I fucked up at work and I now can not sleep. It is not a world-ending thing, just potentially going to be an inconvenience and I will look like a total fucking dumbass, which is well-deserved. All is well. Appointment guy had totally righteous and correct judgment in his voice, but nothing will need to be rescheduled. I am a fuckin dumbass, but at least the potentially omnipresent being in charge was on my side today.

GOODY. What are y'all doing today?

Inkdancer · September 2014

I would like to be sleeping, but I woke up hungry at 4. Hopefully I will get back to sleep soon.
The plan is to laze around the condo and then go get my wedding present (necklace from my favorite jewelry shop). Also there is probably a bubble bath on the docket.

You better put up a damn picture of something from the wedding goddammit! Even if it's your necklace! I wanna seeeeee it!

I don't get to go to sleep. I have been awake since 8am yesterday, did life, and then realized my shame a while ago. Feels like 100 years since I last slept. Weeee!

Soon!
Do a guided sleep meditation with headphones on, if you can. At the very least, the person's voice will give you something to focus on other than worrying.

beethery · September 2014

Nope. I'm 45 minutes out from phone calls. Gotta stay awake.

Watching Willam's Beatdown in the meantime to try to keep from the worry. It ain't working.

I want deets of FILs speech lol

anjemon · September 2014

Morning! I'm surprised to have other people up and posting at my ridiculously early work time.

Glad to hear the work thing ended up okay.

Sugargirl1019 · September 2014

I'm at work already! Its 6:40 here. Early birds. Trying a Starbucks iced frappuccino this morning.. Let's get through this day!

I have a headache. It sucks. Had it since last night!

And inkdancer - go have sex with your H, what the heck are you doing here?

wandajune6 · September 2014

I woke up at 4 for work. I finished the time-sensitive stuff that I had to do and am now playing. I should finish the project but really just want to crawl back into bed. Trying to decide if I should work the rest of the day from home or go into the office.

I also just remembered that I need to send a check to our photographer today. I can find my checkbook and his checkbook but I can't find the checkbook for the account that we opened specifically for wedding expenses. I've been searching all over with the idea that I'd mail it on my way to work. And now I'm annoyed.

cupcait927 · September 2014

Good morning everyone!

@Beethery Stressing about work sucks. Even when you know that the mistake isn't earth-ending or life-shattering, it still sucks and still weighs on your mind. Hopefully the feeling will pass soon!

My monday has already started out with me doing my slacker co-worker's job for her. She is out on vaca this week and forwarded me a bunch of stuff that she "didn't get to" on Friday while she was hanging out in our other coworker's office half the day. It's going to be a LONG week. Thank god I had a fun weekend though.

I also have a billion wedding things to do this week. I'm freaking out that I have less than 2 weeks to make this all come together. I'm worried that it's not going to look at pretty and beautiful in real life as it does in my head, because I have zero crafty or decorative bones in my body. Sigh.

climbingsingle · September 2014

Beeth, I literally feel your pain. I get the absolutely worst migraines, sometimes even with aura effects.

Holy fucking shit, I'm getting married in 12 days!!! <--- this is pretty much the only thought going on in my brain right now. I cannot focus on anything else.

We're submitting payment to the venue today, and hammering out the last of the details. I'm still waiting for the DJ to call me. Our rings aren't ready yet. But we're in good shape!

beethery · September 2014

BTW I'm going to own up to my fuckup on the boards now. @viczaesar PM'd me with a 100% correct WTF message.

I closed a zombie thread (if you want to read it, it's here), praised the advice of the necromancer, and then shut it down.

There was a box issue on it that I didn't notice, because my stupid ass skimmed when I should've read every. single. bit. of it. @Banana468 gave perfect advice (4 years ago when the shit was new!), and it got stuck out of the box when the necromancer commented on the thread.

I read that, thought, "yaaaaay someone I have never heard of just gave good etiquette advice!!!", skimmed the rest and got a tl;dr story about being in a rehearsal dinner that she had to pay for her dinner on out of it.

Told the necromancer "good job I agree 10/10/ would recommend, PS don't open old threads" and then closed it.

I FUCKED UP Y'ALL. I apologize

btw Vic thank you for catching me on that, I owe you one!

LadyMillil · September 2014

I'm really dragging today. I went out for sushi and bowling for a friend's birthday yesterday and didn't get home until 11. I had to be up at 4:30 to drive DH to work. I came straight to the lab after dropping him off because no traffic that early. I am now going to spend the next 3-4 hours weighing lab mice. Funtimes

Aunt Flow decided she was invited to join us on our honeymoon. Until I can find some softcups, no nookie for me.

Jells2dot0 · September 2014

I'm waiting for my home health nurse to call. They can show up anytime between 9-5, so it monopolizes my day. After she does show, I am going to pick up some prescriptions and candy!

chibiyui · September 2014

I had an awesome day of food and shopping with a friend yesterday.

Today I woke up late, missed breakfast, coffee and had 3 construction zones to go through.

Our DM is on vacation, so my next coworker doesn't come in till 4, which means I'm eating lunch at my desk.

And there's a crazy guy wandering around.

Fuck it. Imma get a soda.

JCbride2015 · September 2014

Hey everybody! I drove Fi to work today because we made 72 mini frittatas last night for his work potluck. Veggie, chicken sausage, and pork sausage. I was really proud of him because we went from me cooking, him learning on Batch #1, and then by Batch #3 he was basically doing it himself and just having me check in on him. He has a lot of anxiety around cooking so I'm really happy he was able to pull this off (cooking for his job no less) successfully.

I'm excited because my high school bestie is coming to town and staying with us tonight! And extra excited, because her reason for being in town is a job interview! Her H is established in their current city and I know it would be a PITA for him to move, but selfishly I really hope she gets this job and they become our neighbors.

Today, I have to chase down some paperwork for the NJ bar, start my NY bar paperwork, and probably do last year's taxes which I never filed (whoops). I don't want to have outstanding tax returns when I apply to the bar, even though I'm owed a refund. I just had a lot of anxiety around doing that year because of Hurricane Sandy and not even wanting to look at my finances. But finally getting that refund money will be nice.

chibiyui · September 2014

Dear taco bell. I love you. The decision to serve breakfast until 11 a.m. was brilliant.
Love, chibiyui

Hey everyone! I am feeling under the weather today, so boo. It started yesterday at church, and I felt crappy all night (body aches, sinus pressure, etc).

So here was my big wtf moment of the weekend. We had several couples over on Saturday night for board games and wine. One of the couples was my brother and his girlfriend. My brother is 32 and divorced. His ex-wife had become one of my close friends (she was a bridesmaid in our wedding), and all hell broke loose when they divorced. So, I'm very hesitant to get close to his new girlfriend. I've met her twice before. She's very nice and warmed up well to our friends. But here's the thing. When she came in, she gave me a big hug and said "hey, sis!". DH said she greeted him with a similar "bro" comment. When they left, she said "see you later, sis!" Ummm, no. You are not my sister. Apparently when she met my parents, she asked my dad if she could call him "Pop." Dad was like "you can just call me by my first name. " This girl is an interesting one.

lurkergirl · September 2014

@beethery was that the thread I reported? Because I think I had the same thought you did when I read it. Damn boxes!

I am having one of the worst periods I've had in a long time today. I'm grumpy and crampy and tired and not feeling bad about sleeping in and spending a couple hours on a Netflix/TK binge!

sarawifenow · September 2014

Good morning, all! I just got into work. I had a teeth cleaning this morning. Of course now all I want is coffee. FML.

Simky906 · September 2014

Just spent an hour at the Social Security office getting my name changed- and did so with a growling stomach as I forgot to eat breakfast first. Stopped at home to grab and bite and now it's off to the DMV. So thrilling!

It sure was! I am a dumdum.

I'm also so tired that I feel like I'm going to start hallucinating soon. Maybe I'll have FI pick me up at the end of the day so I don't have to drive my ass home tripping balls on no sleep.

SBmini · September 2014

@Beethery don't let forum stuff get to you. There's enough stuff to worry about IRL to let the internet bring you down!

Keep calm and get some sleep girl.

I have the day off. It's my official day of unemployment before I start my new job tomorrow. Pretty excited.

hanging out on the couch now. I may hem some curtains and mow the lawn... not sure what the day has in store. I had a very lazy weekend which is very unlike me, so it's shaping up to be a really nice three day staycation.

gladyscf · September 2014

That is all.

slothiegal · September 2014

Count me in as another Knottie who's feeling not 100%. DH and I went to Vegas for the weekend to celebrate my cousin's birthday and we're both feeling it today. We brought back some nasty ass cold and we both have a shit ton to get done this week, so we'll be working late. Blah.

I'm currently wrapped up in my Wall-E blanket at my desk, sitting with the lights off in my office. Judge away, coworkers.

beethery · September 2014

@SBmini I'm not like... wearing a hair shirt and wandering the desert lol

Just wanted to put it out there, I fucked up and then I fixed it, in case anyone had thoughts on it. NBD.

theycallmelinz · September 2014

This has been the day from hell and it's not even lunchtime here yet. Most of you know I'm a therapist and I see kids that are referred through the court system. Which means that I don't get to be a therapist, 90% of the time I'm the mean lady who's going to lock you up for misbehaving (which I'm definitely not able to do) or I'm the good-for-nothing court lady who won't help you lock your kid up.

One of my kids tried to stab someone over the weekend and has been kicked out of her placement. Guess who has been given the responsibility of finding somewhere else for her to live? Even though my agency has NO way of placing kids. All we can do is recommend options.

Can I just go home already?

I am THRILLED today. Thrilled is the only word that describes me.

I spent the weekend at the Writer's Conference, where an agent asked for my whole manuscript because she liked my sample.

Okay so in relative terms, it's not a huge deal. It doesn't mean I'm getting published, but the fact that she asked for my manuscript because she loved my sample really exciting.

that is fucking RAD!!!

falsara · September 2014

I'm on my second cup of coffee today after I spent ALL summer getting my morning kick from green tea in an effort to lower my caffeine intake.

DAMN YOU COLD WEATHER AND STARBUCKS!!! I was doing so good, From May till this morning with no coffee and then last night kicked my ass.

I'm also in class till 12:15 and then I have 6 hours of work after that. Then I get to take the hour long train home and eat dinner alone since FI has a big comedy show on Tuesday and he has to go to three different open mics today to double check his material.

lyndausvi · September 2014

Good Morning. I feel like a Mack truck hit me. It's clear I lost the ability to work on my feet for hours on end. I use to work 12+ hours in bare feet for years, and years. Now that I have a desk job, these banquets are killing me. I guess it's time to get off my feet more. Maybe I should look into those treadmill desks? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm off to NOLA for 5 days tomorrow. So today is getting things ready for my business trip work wise. Then I have to packing, running errands, etc. DH has most of the day off, so maybe I can talk him into cooking dinner.

beethery · September 2014

PSSSST. Y'all! The 'Wedding Crashers' thread in etiquette got featured in today's newsletter.

There is a post in there that is so messy and hilarious I just.... oh my god lol.

Good morning, and welcome to Monday!
