pizza for dinner. bubble bath is a must.

[Phil]

Sally Mae is twisted in a knot. That must have been a wicked writhe!

Use double bubbles, Sally M.

[Jim]

Try not to fall asleep with a mouth full of food.

[Lori]

Right now, I'm eating soup for lunch.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Right now I'm cold.

[Phil]

Brrr.

[evie]

I'm chatting with the husband.I think he's about to make me a cup of tea. Right now I'm lazy.

[Jammies]

Lessee, right now I am submitting my receipts to be repaid for a collar and tag for my new foster dog!

[Cynthia]

Woot! Tell us about him/her!

[Jonathan]

Congratulations on the foster dog, Jammies!

[Sarah]

Subsidized doggeh!

That's great! I've always wanted to foster animals, but I rent so I can't right now.

[Heidi]

You're a saint, Jammies! :)

Right now, I'm feeling miserable, possibly with a stomach ulcer... if I can just make it through this Friday and through next week, I'll be okay - every single day, hour, minute between now and 5pm next Friday are going to count in a really big way. Things have to, I mean HAVE to, go well or I may be joining the ranks of the unemployed... Say an extra prayer, send a good thought, or whatever you do if you should think about it... :/

[janine]

Good luck, Heidi! I hope everything goes well and you feel better soon.

And yay for the foster dog, Jammies! Pictures?

[Sarah]

Good luck, Heidi! Fingers crossed for you.

[~Geektastic~]

Sending positive vibes your way, Heidi!

[Cynthia]

Best wishes Heidi.
Right now I am crying. A local family just lost their boy to Neuroblastoma/leukemia. My heart hurts.

[Jammies]

*hugs Cynthia* I'm so sorry.

[Cynthia]

Thank you sister Jammies. It sucks when they are so young.

[Heidi]

Oh, that's so sad, Cynthia. I still cry on the anniversary of my friend's nephew's death (also leukemia - but kicked cancer's butt & was in remission - died from an infection). Sweet baby was only 4... You're in my thoughts, ma'am. It's hard to find comfort for that kind of loss.

[Cynthia]

There are an awful lot of families here in town and elsewhere who are going to miss Eli. He was brave, and funny, and kind. I am finding comfort here with all of you on TC who have experienced similar heartache. Thanks, all of you big-hearted people.

How heartbreaking. I am so very sorry.

[Mary]

Good luck Heidi-I'll send you all my good thoughts!

::hugs Heidi and Cynthia::

[Jim]

Good luck Heiderkins.

Sorry for your pain Cynthia.

::Hugs to Heidi & Cynthia::

[Cynthia]

Thanks, guys. I went down the block and bought six boxes of Girl Scout cookies to distract myself. The Shout Outs are very good. They taste kind of like Teddy Grahams.
Hugs back at you,
Cynthia

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Sending good, positive thoughts to you, Heidi.

[Janice]

Feel better soon, Heidi!

What a sad situation Cynthia. It's hard on everyone in a community when such a young one dies like that.

[evie]

Hope it all works out for you all .

I'm feeling a weird combination of guilt and defiance right now. My current job is offering me a raise, but I have a much better possible job on the line right now. I feel bad that they are (for once) genuinely trying to do something beneficial for me and I'm trying to leave without telling anyone, but I really hate this place, particularly as I find the company to be ethically questionable. I'm being a big fat coward by not airing my grievances, but at the same time they're not really constructive complaints. I don't like the business and the owner makes me want to strangle him on a daily basis. I know for a fact he's a liar and just out for what he can get. Argh, I hate feeling guilty when I know how much I want to escape. I wish there was a way to be fair without risking my meager livelihood or my sanity.

Sorry, I'm venting excessively again.

[Sarah]

Can you take it for now, knowing that you may leave? Try to avoid the guilt, either way, if you can. Easier said than done, I know.

[~Geektastic~]

Yeah, they're going to give me the raise as they have no idea I'm going anywhere, or at least trying to. Most of the guilt just comes from not giving advanced warning that I'm trying to leave, but I can't afford to get fired before something else pans out.

[janine]

If you have to work for a company you hate, I'd say you make sure to get as much money out of them as possible.

[Sarah]

And try to squirrel away the raise money right now just in case?

[~Geektastic~]

Sarah Pi wrote: "And try to squirrel away the raise money right now just in case?"

Good advice.

And to janine: also an excellent point. They're always bilking people out of money, I guess I should return the favor. Except I actually earn mine.

[Jim]

Sarah & J9 both have good points, just because you are getting a raise doesn't mean that you have to stay. They still might not be paying you what you are worth, or what it is worth to you to have to stay and work there.

[janine]

Amber ~Geektastic~ wrote: "Except I actually earn mine."

Even more reason to take the money. Maybe you could even pay off some debt?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

KEURIG!! YES !!!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Right now I'm using googletranslate, from Polish to English. It's surprisingly accurate. Nothing like Babelfish.

[Heidi]

I survived last week (barely).

And then was so discombobulated over the weekend that I 1. dropped off a baby shower gift a week early and 2. went to work on Sunday at The Rep box office only to realize I was locked out... because the box office doesn't open until next weekend.

1 more hell week to go and then I'll be a happy girl again, maybe.

[Jim]

Keep kicking ass and taking names Heidi.

[janine]

Watching Rain Man.

[janine]

Right now I'm eating Coco Pops with my R2D2 lightsaber spoon. I just returned from the supermarket where I discovered, while at the registry with my groceries, I forgot to take my wallet out of my weekendbag to put it into my regular bag. I told the cashier: "This isn't going to work, I don't have any money on me." The guy behind me in line immediately offered to pay for my groceries (I only had a few). Of course I politely refused at first, but didn't want to deny anyone their good deed. I thanked him nicely and while he was paying got the hell out of there just in case he was a creep.

[Cynthia]

Good idea to run, Janine. I remember the time I got hit on in the produce section while holding a fussy, two-week-old daughter #1. The guy started blathering about how pretty the baby was and ended up sharing that he'd always wanted kids, but his ex-wife did not. Saddest. Pickup. Attempt. Ever.

I'm still stuck on the R2D2 lightsaber spoon. Can we get back on that topic for a bit?

Thoughtful of you.

That is a little sad. I don't know, maybe borderline gross too. Oversharing...

[Kevin]

r2d2 spoon? i think i need more info on that too.

as for an act of kindness? awesome. too bad one of your first reactions was to think he might be a creep. might have been but also might just have been a really nice, caring person. i hope no one automatically goes to creep when i do something nice for someone.
