I may be reaching my breaking point with this job. I started messaging some old collegues that now work at a competitor. I need out. GL! I really hope you find something more fulfilling.

Oh it's really hard for me to get a close-up of my eye that shows the white lashes and isn't blurry. Like I'm surprised how hard it is. Maybe it's just me. lol

Is today over yet? I'm patiently waiting for work to be over so I can go to the liquor store. I was sick for almost the entire month of July and I'm finally feeling well enough for a drink. It's cold here today (56 degrees, brr) so I am thinking about a nice glass of red.
I highlight my hair every 10-12 weeks. I'm too cheap to go more often. My stylist is on maternity leave so I'm stretching out this last round until she gets back.

There are lots in this area and I've been casually looking. This would have been nice because it's my old manager and he could have hired me quickly.

I did a bad thing.
I know the allergist in town. Before she and her wife adopted their daughter we even used to go out to dinner with them on occasion. She and I talk on occasion and she's been having me send pictures of M's rashes and keeping her in the loop of feeding her high allergen foods. When she had the egg reaction again last week she told me she agreed that she needs thorough testing and to call the office.
I finally heard back today... October 11th. Soooo far away.
So I may have shot this wonderful woman a message letting her know I was able to get an appointment and I couldn't wait to catch up with her knowing she'd ask when it was. And knowing she'd move it up when I said it wasn't for another ten weeks.
Her appointment is now the 18th at 9 am.
I don't even know who I am anymore.

Oh goldenlove I am so ready for you to land the perfect job opportunity. I really hope one presents itself to you soon. I feel like your talents are so underutilized and so much of what's done to you and around me has me saying WTAF frequently. I'm so sorry you're in this position.

jubilantsquirrel I look at Indeed sometimes. I'd be happy to switch to another field actually but it's the whole stupid money thing. sophiegrace Nothing wrong with using your connections girl!! And thank you. I feel so lost with my career path right now. A huge part of me didn't expect to come back from maternity leave so that doesn't help the situation. Every negative thing that happens feels 10x worse.

sophiegrace would do. My mom used every connection he had to get me seen quicker when I was younger and we were still trying to figure out my issues.

Hi! I WFH most of the day until I started getting kicked off my remote desktop because someone was logging onto my desk computer in the office trying to fix some issue with the Outlook calendars. I was...not pleased. I'm here now and pumping. Everyone is heading out in a few to go to a local place for drinks and dinner because one of our paralegals is leaving to go to law school. Should be fun. CP might even make an appearance. Of course I got prettied up just in case. kleigh you get wine when you get your hair done?? Do I need to start traveling to CT for hair appointments? I get mine cut every 5 months-ish. I haven't colored my hair since 2006 because I'm cheap. Luckily I don't have any gray yet; once I do I may change my tune on this. Actually, I have a hair appointment scheduled for my birthday on the 31st and I'm thinking about getting bangs and TBH maybe some color as well. I feel like I need to freshen up my look. I will post a thread, don't worry

Who here is breastfeeding? Anyone else's baby constantly trying to latch on to EVERYTHING? Like even stuff not nipple-shaped? I remember C did it as an infant, but not at like 9 months old. I have a huge bruise on my arm from H trying to latch there (plus all the bruises on the side of my boob from him getting me when I'm half asleep). He's currently trying to latch onto a toy. That is flat. Like there's nothing to get his mouth around, but he's going mad at it lol.

How funny though!
