When Farnsworth said they had to go to Robot Hell, I grinned like an idiot.  One of my favorite places in the world of Futurama.

Shop the sales!!!  Or try Anthropologie, if they're having a sale.  I do well with Shop It to Me, too.

Oh.  I'm wearing wedges.  This is happening, people.  I already have two pair at home that could work.

I'm back to say this is the best thread ever.  And I'm so glad other people do it too.

:'(

I've never seen them in the same place at the same time…

My condolences, so sorry to hear.

Because it's outdoors on a lawn, so I understand, but am saddened.  Heels and a dress go together like pb & j.

I will most certainly start documenting.  Brilliant.  Much as I give that advice to others, you would think I'd follow it.

Guess what department I work in?

Ew, that's gross.  They won't even let you take a few days unpaid leave?

I am currently using a toned-down version of what you've described.  It's tough because I'm her subordinate, and she is constantly finding problems with my work, even if I am kicking ass by everyone else's standards.  So the first two suggestions, have been working well right now.  I need to step up my game on those…

She's definitely in category 2 of those two.  Especially regarding the workload part.  When I went on vacation, she apparently bitched to our admin about how I "left her all this work".  Wrong.  That's just the work I do all the time that I am physically incapable of completing when I'm on an island in the Pacific…

I do the zen like zone-out often!  I see the maw going, but I'm not hearing the words.  Then I smile, say some sort of colloquial response, and try to get the answer to the work question I asked.

Love those wedges!

I do this a lot.  A LOT.

Yeah, she isn't well liked.  For a long time I thought people DID like her, but it turns out they were just not saying they DIDN'T like her. I am never the first person to say I don't like someone. Mostly because I don't like not liking people.

Eh, don't be sorry!  We spend a decent amount of time writing comments on a snarky pop-culture website, so that third option should always be thrown out there, no matter what.

@Gjetostbuster:disqus - yes!  This is usually the case with my group of friends, but at 2012's traditional Black Friday Brownout, they all decided to drink red wine because they wanted to be "fancy".  They killed a big bottle at that party.  No leftovers. :(

Loving this as well.  Had something similar in the winter, but served warm.
