Payday with a little extra for selling a little vaca time back to the company

You need to be using your time, girl!

 

[Lilianna23]

Wait what it’s Friday?

IKR?

 

[Lilianna23]

I got white cabinet paint on my black barefoot hardware.... I have tried gentle steel wool... picking with my finger.... what solvent would be best...or do I get a black sharpie and cover it up...

Nail polish remover?

 

[Lilianna23]

I am feeling much better as I watched my wonderful granddaughter, then a lunch with my GF and then a nap.

I am ready to watch the amazing Tigers.

May you have a relaxing evening!

I'm so glad your day improved!

 

[Lilianna23]

I got an email that test results released the 18th....one week away...what is is this

Long time to wait!

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning diners. Wow a great sleep, as nothing other than great sex.

I have been going through emotional swings as I come up on the third anniversary of my wife’s passing. I am making it thanks to all of you, my GF and my children and friends. Thank you!

We're all here for you, B2!

 

[Lilianna23]

Well I sort of have to do it politely in this case. It’s the company chief underwriting officer and our uS operations CUO. They thought they had an agreement. It’s very political: control, fear of loss of control, who’s more important and who is subservient.

Total horseshit.

But it’s time for an alignment meeting. Sadly the company culture is all nicely nicely and sometimes ya gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette.

It’s the weekend now, so so I don’t give a mother fuckin goddam!

Bring in Wat as a consultant!

 

[Lilianna23]

My tools amaze me. The firearms are a close second.


Fishing isn't on the radar.


Yet . . . .

If you decide to get into it, just be prepared! I had a fisherman boyfriend at one time. Our fish cost thousands of dollars per pound!

 

[Lilianna23]

You can lean on us!

Sorry it’s so painful. Use your network. Be aware of your feelings and treat yourself well (and with grace).

My wife still gets this around the anniversary timeframe of her husbands passing too.

Those anniversaries are hard. Hugs for @Mrswonderer!

My Silverado has a Detroit Locker.

Do you think my Avalanche has that? And is it a good thing or a bad thing?

 

[Lilianna23]

It was like when you are short staffed and they say they have positions posted... that doesn't mean they intend to fill them. Why would they hire someone new when 4 people can do the job (even when they are killing them) human resources supports the business not staff

Exactly!

 

[Lilianna23]

Rip to that toilet seat you mean

Dying here!

 

[Lilianna23]

Super C. I find it amazing that many of us survived those years. Yup 8 was about right we could sort of reach the peddles if we slid slightly off the seat lol

My husband told me about driving farm equipment when he was around 8.

 

[Lilianna23]

They are addressing it all right ...in their favor not mine....

I have a saying .... my employer is not my daddy.. I dont expect them to act like one

Right now I have 5ish projects ...for one of them the client just that I am responsible is 14 ish practices with about 150 providers..... another is 19 practices with about the same.... I see myself coming and going....

Anyone ever try to get doctors who have been doctors for a long time to change a process.... it is like banging your head on a metal pipe.... or stepping on a Lego x1000.

I can't even get them to send a fucking read receipt toban email I sent them. I resent having to Molly coddled grown ass intelligent educated people when they whine like witches how hard their job is. You chose it, these are the rules suck it the fuck up.....

No more work talk...raises the blood pressure

I got that constantly as the head of Quality. I would go to their department meetings and listen to the whining and moaning. I simply told them they could do as they wished. The consequences are...

I got traction only when their bonuses were affected.

Document EVERYTHING!

She’s on Ambien? Not sure if she can take that for the first week or so? i have the Sleepy Time tea here at the house so will take some over today. I’ve heard of Valerian but not sure where. Between me you and the fence post, I think she’s addicted to the Ambien…

Yard work, Yard work, Yard work. Preaching to the choir in this Spoon. Going to tidy up a couple of loose ends and finally get on the water. I hate going on the weekend. Too many Yahoo’s but I know me some out of the way places. Our town has quadrupled its size in the last 30 or so yrs but they haven’t added anymore boat ramps…that’s what happens when all 7 of your county commissioners are real estate agents…and oh yeah, the mayor and his wife.

Enjoy the weekend my Spooner compatriots! Your Morning Z, Scottsdale style——

Ambien is good for short term use. I'm not at all sure it's a good sleep aid for the more geriatric population. Ask her PCP about Trazodone. It's an old drug that has few side effects for the elderly. Certainly fewer than Ambien.

 

[Lilianna23]

We’ll have to change that Laddie! Between Greylag, Crankbait, Boat, and myself…possibly Wonderer, we’ll show you the road to eternal bliss!

And spend thousands of dollars on boats, motors, trolling motors, fish finders, depth meters, rods, reels, lures, nets ... oh, and BEER!

 

[Lilianna23]

My normal sleep is about 6 hours and I can function on that much. But when I get 7+, wow I have so much energy.

I am thrilled to get over 7 hours! It doesn't happen that often for me.

 

[Lilianna23]

I can bait the hook and catch the fish but I can't pull the fish off the hook...grosses me out

Same! I won't touch the fish until it's cleaned and filleted.

Beautiful!

 

[Lilianna23]

Nap vs paint pantry

Nap it is

Sound decision! I approve!

 

[Wonderer67]

I ended up letting my helper mow while I pulled weeds. We worked together in the yard for 3 hours! And completely filled the yard waste bin!

Sounds like hard work, lady.

Hopefully cabana boy did the heavy lifting.

 

[Wonderer67]

Bring in Wat as a consultant!

It’s not that I can’t…. I just wanna stay employed!

These last few weeks have seen my more IDGAF side come out…

 

[Wonderer67]

Those anniversaries are hard. Hugs for @Mrswonderer!

And right back atcha, hon.

 

[dkak001]

It was awful this morning! I missed something really important today because I couldn’t breath in it even with an n95 and carbon mask.

We're back down to 185 AQI. Not that that's much better.

Looks like most of the upper Midwest is about the same.

Guess it's going to be a hide inside day again today!

Grief has no set timeline... it will mess up your calendar faster than you can say, "What day is it?"

No truer words said.
