I have been listening to Slow Burn Season 2 about the impeachment of Bill Clinton, and boy howdy, is it enlightening. I turned 18 in September 1992 so voting for Bill Clinton was my first presidential election. By the time the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke and impeachment happened, I was in college and not really…
I’m working from home this week, so I thought I’d get fancy for breakfast and make like multi-cheese grits. Turns out doing things like measuring the right amount of water into a bowl are difficult before coffee. I put too much water in my grits, so I had to put a bunch more grits in there to get them less soupy. Then…
In my continuing campaign to bring you all the important decisions of my life, I come to you for an opinion. I have a new manager and a new team, and one of the icebreakers for our next team meeting is to send a picture/meme to our manager, and then she is going to send them out to the team and we all have to guess…
Who’s ready for more minor body problems with iroqdemic! Gather round...
Today in the saga of iroqdemic’s body is trying to kill her: I have a crick/pain in my neck and left shoulder. Like, one of those where it is obviously from the big knot in my shoulder, but will take two days of heating pad to go away. I had it less hurty by the time I went to bed last night, but I woke up at 2:30 am…
ETA 2: and the winner is bikini # 1. Even with paying for expedited shipping I’m only paying like $32. SWEET! HAHAHAHA!
HOLLA! The summer has just started, but it feels like it is flying by. I blinked, and our vacation is next week. The fam and I are heading to my BFF’s house in Pasadena, CA for a week of reindeer games. Any recommendations on what would be fun to see/do with 4 nerdy adults, 1 ten year old, and 1 eight year old with…
My kid is having 5th grade graduation. The gym is packed. It is standing room only. My husband tried to get me a bleacher seat then wanted to boost my fat ass up the side of the bleachers 3 rows. Um, do you know me? I’m awkward as hell, wearing flip flop type sandals, and you cannot lift me up. Do you even lift, bro?
So. I got gas this morning at the Kroger gas pumps, and I was two sips into my coffee. Threw out my trash bag in my car like I do when I get gas, then went to work.
Just got a call from one of my former coworkers at my old job, talking about some lovely BS that is going down right now in my former department. I mean, upper management is not even hiding how much they dislike certain people, and if you are on the shit list, you best get out. They are picking on everyone that…
Day two of tattoo. Taking off the space age bandage and carefully washing and moisturizing tonight. I am hoping this cuts down on the itchiness. IT IS SO ITCHY AND I CAN’T SCRATCH IT HELP ME 7 LB. 5 OZ. BABY JESUS.
I’m back! Round one did hurt, but just while she was actively tattooing. She said it took half the time she thought because I was way less wiggly than most people when getting belly tattoos. She was impressed with how well I did. I do have a high pain tolerance!
I won’t be around to host the OT thread, but when I get a chance to pop in I will. How are you GT? What’s on your Tuesday vagenda? I am excited/nervous because after I work half a day I am going to my first tattoo session to get my big phoenix tattoo over my gallbladder surgery scar (unlike Ben Affleck, my phoenix…
I cannot figure out how to re-post my post up top, so linking here.
Update 1/4: Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. Seriously, it’s good to know I’m on the right track! So, I talked to the VP, they may have an opening, but that role is kind of undefined at the moment, so we are keeping in touch as he knows more about that role. I talked to a couple of folks today, and…
Apparently, there was supposed to be a white supremacist rally in the area this weekend? Sounds like from the Twitters they got counter protested out.
You’re at the gynecologist, they ask you to leave a urine sample, and you somehow drop the cup in the toilet. Trying to retrieve it I somehow peed all over myself. So now I’m waiting in slightly moist underwear for my IUD insertion. Thank dog I am not going back to work today.
Update: I have my base!
So after another call to HR, I got my new employee sorted, I forwarded the HR person’s info to my boss in case there is any more actions needed, and I gave him one job to do. Even odds that he will do that one thing.
I am on vacation, at the beach, with my family. I just needed one fucking week where I didn’t have to worry about work. Yet my texts blew up today because apparently no one can fucking take charge in my absence. Really? Like, no one there could figure out how to contact the new hire that had an accident over the…
