Random Thought: I just want to let everyone know how much I HATE financing and accounting! One more week and I'm done with it. Yay!
Congratulations, Jackie! I signed up for a whole career of it !!(It's okay, though...)
:)
LOL...I have a new found respect for you then. I'm just so not a math person. =/I'm having a hard time grasping some of the concepts, particularly when it comes to stocks. I understand it when I read it, but as soon as I walk away from the material my mind goes blank. It's like my brain just mentally vomits it back up. ugh.
Is that a class you are taking or are you referring to your job?
It's a class I'm taking. I'm pursuing my MBA and it's a much dreaded required course. I would never take a job in finance or accounting and I don't think they would hire me either, unless they want their books to be messed up. lol.
Today in downtown boston, there was like this "college welcome bus" or something like that and they were like doing some sexual health awareness thing. And they gave out these bags, and as me and my bf started walking away I went through them here's what they contained:1 cup that says "I passed the sexual health challenge"
1 magnet that says "Lets talk about Sexual health"
1 "scratch ticket" for $10 off at planned parenthood
1 Temp Tattoo that says "Sexual Health Matters" in a heart
1 Business card for planned parenthood
2 condoms
1 Designated driver thing so that I can get free soda and bottled water from certain restuarants when I show it to them
1 Bruins bumper sticker
1 credit card sized bruins schedule
1. Boston Globe Pen (I will work for them one day...maybe make them not such a democratic paper...make them more like the Boston Herald).
1. ATT Phone holder thingy
out of all of that, within atleast the next 1 1/2 years, and probably the next 10 or so years, I'm probably only going to use the pen, bumper sticker, the calendar and the designated driver thing.
I think it's great that they're giving that stuff out around colleges. I'm from MA too (just south of Boston) and I went to a Catholic college and we got nothing-NOTHING. A friend of mine went to Simmons and they had baskets and baskets of stuff. Because there is no sex in Catholic colleges? So silly.
My random thought is that since I went to Canobie Lake Park today (my father-in-law is retired from Gillette and they do their family outing there every year) and it rained and rained, I now smell like laundry that has been left in the washer too long before going into the dryer. Despite the sentch, here I sit because it's the first quiet moment I've had all weekend and I can't drag myself away from the computer long enough to unstinkify myself. Gross, I know!!
I have like tons of homework to do...but no motivation to do it....
I just got approval to have my curfew extended on Nov. 4th so that I can follow the voting at the McCain HQ. Now...does my foster mom know what I mean when I say extended? (voting doesnt end until like 8 so once that reaches the west coast it will be 11 here...so yeah....I may just spend the night there, lol)
Mod
Started my new position of Training Specialist at my company today. No more pushing for a number. No more running a department. I finally get an OFFICE with a DESK that has a CHAIR that i am ALLOWED to sit at!!! Yee Haw! Im loving it. ANNNNDDDDDD... I have PROJECTS. this is sooo much more my speed. Being a supervisor sucks the life out of you. I think being a Training Specialist will help me breath new life back in :)
Mod
I will HATE being unable to access goodreads for 4 days now instead of 3... It will kill me, but something tells me you guys will survive just fine! Hee hee
OH MY GOODNESS, Lori, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN!!!
Very cool, Lori! Our training department was just 'downsized' so the workers had the option to transfer...needless to say, of the 3 that chose that route, only 1 is left (and she's counting down to retirement). I'm sure the added day will be filled with glee and you won't even notice it!
Mod
Congrats Lori!!I know what you mean about supervising. I am right there with you. I'm a manager now and only have 3 professional people who report to me but in a previous job I supervised clerks. I swear it was like being back in highschool. It is like they were more interested in fighting with each other then doing their jobs.
It drove me nuts!!
Now you can go in your office, shut your door and put your feet up!
Mod
yay for chairs yay for chairs. hip hop horray lori!!
congrats Lori! Nice to have a chair. Do you have a window? That's what I want is a window.
Lori...Just curious
Where do you work?
Just curious about a place that took so long to give their employee a chair.
I'm so excited for next Monday. The Bruins play their first game...against the Canadiens...so much fun!(well its a preseason game, but it will still be exciting)
Mod
I get an office within an office in the middle of the warehouse, but the window (yes, I have a window with the chair heehee) only looks out into the hallway of the outer office. Hmmm...
Hard to explain, but Im so very excited!
I think my cat just drooled on me in his sleep....do cats do this sort of thing.....
LOL.....This is my first ever cat that loves to cuddle!!!!Its 2:30 am and I can't sleep!!!!
Lori..Ahhh... TJ Maxx. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law love that store.
Sounds like you are moving up in the world girl!
Congrats on the new position, new chair and new window!
I have a chair, an office with NO window. Hate that!
Kristie & Ken
I grew up with cats too. Ours didn't cuddle much. As a matter of fact, some of them were just plain mean!
We did have one who we called "the mighty hunter". She used to bring home dead mice, birds, chipmunks...The thing is, she would do her hunting at night. Once she caught something, she would bring it home and howl at the front door. We actually had to get up, open the door and praise her for her find. Then she would pick it up (whatever was left) and take it somewhere to finish it off.
Cats are a strange species....
My daughter's cat has started sleeping with me and she is 19 1/2 pounds. She sleeps on my ankles so my feet fall asleep. Glad to know this is normal!
My dogs are the one's that bring home dead animals! But they get sick if they try to eat them, i can't tell you how many dead animals i've had to wrench out of their mouths. it's gross! i would rather that cat get them but she is an indoor cat.

Congratulations, Lori! I just got the news, but better late than never. OOOh, you're gonna be able to watch the leaves change, and the snow fall!! Watch people run to their cars with no umbrellas! You are in for some FUN.:)
Mod
Well, then you can enjoy spying on the warehouse employees. Kind of pretend you are in an episode of "The Office".Do you like your new job, though? Is it more or less than what you expected?
Mod
Its weird not being tied down to one department, not addressing my old associates... but yeah, I like it!
Ken I use to have a rabbit she was so sweet. She got along great with the dogs and the cat. The cat actually slept with her until she passed. I don't know if I'm up for more animals right now. I have a turtle and a fish tank too! I end up being the only one in the family taking care of all the animals. I am sure I will get another rabbit sometime they are just so cuddly. Better then a dog & cat!
Mod
What do you do with an iguana?It's not like you can take him for a walk.
He doesn't curl up next you and purr or chase after a ball.
Can you scratch him under his chin until his eyes close?
Plus, they have no fur and they are umm...ugly!
Is his name Louie by any chance?
I actually liked Louie...the Budweiser Iguana
Kelli: Most iguana's aren't very friendly.
My brother had one that would bite. Needless to say I just stayed away from him.
Is your's Lori?
I just cleaned the turtle tank, its a painted Turtle really cute but Oh the tank gets stinky. I hate cleaning the tank. The kids picked out the animals too. Mom's always get the raw end of the animal picking!
My son asked me to get him a frog I told him when the turtle or the fish die. I am so mean.

Hes huge and gorgeous, but utterly terrifying now. I thought he hit breeding season, but that should have been out of his system by now. So now i think he is just evil, posessed and try my hardest to not have him attack me as i clean his tank (usually when he is sleeping and the tank lights are out) and when I feed him....
Oh No!! That is too bad about the tame turned into not so tame iguana.Sorry Lori...
I have a friend that has (or used to) have a life size cage of iguanas. We called him lizard boy.
He would actually scratch his lizards under their chin (no joke)
They were freakin' huge.
I was amazed...
It's just reptiles aren't known for being warm and cuddly....
We watched a special on PBS I think it was in May there was a guy who had a five bedroom house. He slept in his front roomm but his five iguana's had their own bedrooms.
I thought I had OCD.
I thought I had OCD.
Wow, sounds like a wacky dude. Good luck, Lori, shame you can't find a home for him (or set him free in Florida !!!)
I am bored. Just finished cleaning and just bored of cleaning.
Mod
Maybe he will change again and be nice. You never can tell. My brother's Iguana was always mean.
We just watched NIMS ISLAND and I told the boys i want an iguana like the one in the movie. He was very smart.
