The same person just told me I should not procreate. Which was immediately followed by a loud angry gasp by all of the females in the office and a couple of males. Just completely ----ing inappropriate...

 

[that_someone_special]

That is SO inappropriate at work!!!!!! Can you do something about him??? omg! I am so sorry you have to deal with that D BaG

Unexpected side effect of breaking up with M: losing all sense of home I had in this country. He anchored me - we had defined places that were *ours* and I felt comfortable. Breaking up with him is essentially breaking up with those places - they never held much meaning to me, but he cared about them so much that I adopted them as my own. I guess over the past month that faded away, and now I'm adrift. I should have enough practice with that to be okay with it, but realizing suddenly that my anchor is gone and the only thing I have even resembling a "home" is half a world away is a major wake up call. Realizing I'm in this place that makes me horribly uncomfortable and makes me feel almost two dimensional - like all the depth I have that I'm used to exploring and exposing doesn't exist, and I'm barely more than a photograph - without any more reason to be here than to be anywhere else in the world (less reason, actually, since I don't *want* to be here and never really did) is terrifying.

I need to remember how to float.

oh Princess, I'm sorry. Things will get better. You will find your feet. You're strong- and brave.

He's an a$$. I don't know how else to describe someone like that. Is he clueless or just purposefully mean? You could *almost* forgive it if he's clueless. Purposeful makes you want to run over him with a car.

I think he's confusing you with his own parents.

He sounds like a putz.

I purposefully came into work at 4am today so as to get done by noon and not have to work with the guy; how pathetic is that
But if anyone asks, it is because today is dh's day off work so I want to spend the day with him

 

[April20]

I had a really, really awful day yesterday at work. Everything that could blow up blew up. I really hope today is better. If it's not, me and the general contractor I've been working with are going to get a divorce. They can't run my blood pressure that high again.

 

[princesss]

Oh, no, April! I'm sorry to hear that things have been so stressful.

 

[packrat]

I hope today is better for you April!

The breeder has a litter of puppies coming in November! We'll be sending them money along the way so we're ready this time. We're already thinking of names haha!

 

[random_thought]

Today I found out that mr. inappropriate/obnoxious will not be working here much longer. Today is a good day

 

[dragonfly411]

April - I hope things get better


RT - YAY


I'm missing the first game of the season. BOO.

 

[princesss]

Nothing fills you with more faith that things are going well than hearing the contractors argue in the other room about things they should have figured out a few hours ago.

Also, NEVER do anything to even possibly risk a hangover when you know you have people coming in to install hardwood floors at 9 the next morning. Owwwwwwwww, my poor head!

This weekend was sucessful. I had the BEST reunion weekend with my 3 best friends in Missouri. Broke it off with my stage 5 clinger and am looking forward to seeing my other bestie this weekend as well as my favorite band, Dave Matthews. Oh, and next weekend it is off to Vegas. Could I ask for anymore? Probably not..well, maybe the lottery?

I mean, too much?

OK we drove to Vancouver BC on 9/5 to see an exhibition "the modern woman" (drawings by French artists from Musee d'Orsay). We planned something nice for the Labor Day, like seaplaning or something similar, so we stayed in Vancouver overnight. Comes Labour Day, the weather is rainy, and parking lots around all entertaining centers are virtually jammed with cars. So after a long drive and many deliberations, we ended up in a bowling. I never tried it before. Then we went home.
So... driving almost 4 hours + time at the border and then back (in the rain) for 2 hours of bowling. I scored well, though. And expositions from Vancouver museums never come to Seattle anyway, so it was worth the drive!

 

[dragonfly411]

I'm frustrated, and I have to figure out what to do about my family, which is stressing me out.

 

[princesss]

I registered for Race for the Cure for next month. I'm giving blood next week. I'm feeling helpful today.

 

[tyty333]

Bravo Princesss I commend you for donating your blood and hard work to very worthwhile causes!

 

[princesss]

Thanks, tyty. It's actually kind of rough on me emotionally - my grandmother passed away from breast cancer last October, and this is one of the first times it's really hit me that she's gone. I love these races, and I love giving blood (as much as a girl whose scared of needles can be), but today this is just bumming me out.

I always wanted to, all the more so that I have a rare blood type. But they may not allow due to medications that I take. I spoke to my doctor and asked if they at least could use washed blood cells, but he did not advise me to do it, either. Too sad, because it would probably be needed.

Oh, that's so disappointing, crasru. It stinks to *want to help and not be able to.

 

[Strawdermangrl]

I just had the worst lunch ever.

Worst part about 'worst lunch ever'? I ate it. All.

Oh, I love being a woman.

 

[princesss]

Yay! I'm taking my friend C out for drinks tonight to celebrate her promotion. She's been working really hard for this, and I'm super proud of her.

 

[Clairitek]

I defend my PhD tomorrow. I am ready for this week-long adrenaline rush/butterflies in the stomach feeling to end. The anticipation is killing me!

 

[zoebartlett]

Princesss -- I think the more you give blood, the less afraid of needles you'll (says the girl who isn't able to do so herself ).

C-tek-- GOOD LUCK tomorrow!

Can I just say how much I love my class this year? They're awesome.

 

[princesss]

C-tek, you'll be great. I know it. You know your stuff and you've been working on this forever. It'll be fine. Pinky swear.

 

[that_someone_special]

I'm having an awful fricken week.

I even made 2 of my very talkative friends speechless with the stuff I had to tell them. Never happens.

Today I am rewarding myself with a cut and color
