Oh, and my H told the kids he'd go to the Veteran's day breakfast at their school next week. My son says "I already told all my friends how you used to be a pirate!" lolol
My H was in the Navy, which apparently to a 6 year old means he was a pirate.

I went to Ulta last night to pick up a couple of things and the lady that works there called me an old gal. Am not well. Um. "Old gal" is maybe okay for a senior pet but dicey even then. Who says that?

I hope he shows up to breakfast with an eye patch and a hook.

I just got a call for a second interview for a job I didn't think the interview went that great for. I am nervous because it is the same job I am doing now for a different area but I would be making much more. Problem is my boss is mega flexible which is working right now with Dd's daycare losing transportation and me having to pick her up/ Bring her to work on days she doesn't have school. do you know that the other position would be less flexible? Maybe flexibility can be negotiated in your favor. Congrats on the second interview! truffleshuffle - what a rude comment! I would not be pleased either, newp.

My campus is not known for flexibility although this has changed some with covid. My boss was a mom who didn't have a lot of help so she is more in the been there done that mode when it comes to me and dd. I am hoping though with the person being remote 3 days a week themselves that they are more open to the 3pm leave and work from home and the WFH on school closures and snow days

What you are asking for is very reasonable and if the last two years have taught us anything, it's that flexibility and WFH can still be result in good employees.

I got another call for interview too. We did like a mini interview on the phone and it’s full time, but also an hour of overtime daily during this season and seems like the potential for overtime is often. I’m nervous because I could not work full time the last time I tried it and overtime on top of that scares me. I’ll probably do the interview anyway if I can figure out how to fill out their application on my phone. Idk why I need to write my work history and schooling on another paper when you have my resume but whatever.

I won $20 on a $1 scratch off Christmas ticket I bought last night, so I’ll be using that to upgrade to the next manicure and pedicure package I’m getting on Friday.
My nails are currently pumpkin orange but I’m all about a theme so I plan on getting them electric witch green this time.

it's wednesday. my son was suspended for a day because he wont stop making inappropriate jokes at lunch (like for instance playing with a hot dog in a rude way) and for obvious/understandable reasons they take that very seriously (and it's not the first occasion). since he's been medicated he's made GREAT strides in the classroom setting, but still gets in trouble during recess time or at lunch time a lot with his halfassed impulse control. I'm just so....... tired.
but now I'm "torturing" him because I told him that since he wants to be dirty and inappropriate he can clean the toilet, and he gets to help his dad clean all day at work today too.

pobre I hope things are cleared up soon. Our local middle school was in lock down this morning after someone made a false report to the police about a shooting at the school. WTH is happening with the schools today?

The last two days have been shitty pain wise, today I woke up and realized that I am definitely in a flare. The worst of my life so far. So I took a sick day and am in bed with my magic bag. I’m hopeful for better days by next week (Montreal trip. I know the weather is impacting my health. I will have to pack super warmly for Montreal. I’m sorry. I’m in the same boat. I’ve missed 3 of the last 8 work days. I hope you get some relief soon. I’m in bed, too.

They are still locked down.
I guess someone was walking around the neighborhood with a gun? It's all hearsay right now.

I am livid. So after a couple weeks of literally on the phone with the appliance store our brand new washer gets replaced. When the installers did it last week they did a crappy job (they didn’t even plug it in) but we didn’t have it in it to battle it. A couple days later after our house feeling like a sauna we realized that they moved the dryer to install the washer and broke the dryer vent line. So now our dryer is broken due to ineptitude. They come out today and they go they can’t fix it they need different people to do it. So we have been without a dryer for a week. I am SO pissed. I took the day and stayed home (DH had to take DD to Philly for her biopsy and because of this I couldn’t go) and now they will call to have someone else come and fix it. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

It's like the easiest thing ever. Usually just a couple clamps.
