Sorry about your work @thebanich. 

My work has been weird for a while but lately it's been making me want to scream instead of cry.

Only if you want to see me being hilarious. Otherwise, nope no need.

Hmm, can't seem to find any pictures of buttered babies.   )

How long does chocolate stay good/when does it expire?

Small AW - it's my birthday today, I'm 30!

Side note, I really don't understand FB congratulations. I'm getting a bunch from people who literally work 30 feet from me. Some of whom I can see from my desk. You can't get up and come say happy birthday in person?? I don't get it.

I'm embarrassed to be in public with these bruises.

@triple598 we are leg twins. Knee bruises and all.

How can you hold on to chocolate long enough to need this information?

It wasn't/isn't really mine to eat.  It was intended to bribe people to come to my training sessions.

I'd say chocolate is good for maybe 4.5 months. Then it gets that weird white color and tastes like shit.

@NeneCakies‌ how did you get yours? I tripped and fell in front of a Shipley's trying to get a donut.

Ouch @triplea598! I hope the donut was glorious and helped soothe the pain. Mine are from playing on the hardwood floor with DD and running into low furniture. All. The. Time. eta fixed tag

I'd like to scream too but really I just took offense to something someone said even though that person isn't worth my time.

 And it has just been weird around here anyway. We have a new COO and no one knows what her pupose is. The budget still hasn't been approved and there are major changes coming that no one wants to talk about. I may have a pretty large project coming up but I won't know until they approve the budget.

Sometimes working in HR is awful.

Welp. I just ate way too many cookies. I finished off the package...oops.

I am SOO freakin' hungry.

Day 2 of Weight Watchers. Ugh. We are going to a BBQ tonight, so I am definitely trying watch what I am eating during the day.

I wish I could just suction 30 pounds away. 

Needs motivation.

I think they've turned off the air in my building.  It is hot.  HOT.  I don't work well when it is hot.  And I think it exacerbates my headaches.  AND, I've realized recently that NSAIDS give me hives.  So no advil for me.  Tylenol is worthless. 

I've got all kinds of problems over here.

The calendar tells me there might be a pee stick in my future. :!!

I kept apologizing after telling Cute Dad all that stuff from my background and he kept telling me not to apologize, but I couldn't stop myself.

It was like... a Canadian Twilight Zone nightmare. 

Aka me

I just don't know how to stop those words from coming out of my mouth sometimes. Why are we the same person??? Are you my long, lost twin????

He gets serious bonus points, though, because he didn't get angry or agitated about it (which a lot of people do). So, at least I never had to apologize for apologizing. That is truly the worst.

we're conserving power due to the extreme temperatures in the area, apparently.

***hugs*** @tripla598

May I offer you some ice cream?

Three of my friends Like Facebook on Facebook.

1) how meta

2) that's kinda embarrassing for Facebook as a ratio

what is going on in the UO/FFC thread?  The last time I was in there, it was getting a little NSFWish so I haven't been back.  I've challenged myself not to click on it, but it is hard.

Did she forget about work? Isn't this the job you want?

Yes, this is the job I want. Apparently she emailed my boss this morning, but boss was offsite all day and forgot to tell me. OM's mom did finally get ahold of her as well.

My AM just bought me the most delicious sandwich. I did not need to eat an entire sandwich just now, but by golly was it amazing.

Boo i was hoping for a no call no show for you once we knew she was ok. @PeanutButterFox‌

So do the managers get a cut of tips?

I feel ripped off I'd I'm not rewarding good service directly

Sigh. At least I got a free cookie

I feel like I should give back one of my degrees today. I tried everything and the only thing that finally calmed LO down was when I put on Frozen.
She's not even 6 months old.

Teething. It's always teething.

I know I'm new here, but I'd like to drop some heavy WTFery if I may.

Long story short, my 9 year old stepson has a super rare cancer (less than 100 cases worldwide), and his mom (my H's ex) set up a "Team" Facebook page for him for support. That's all fine and dandy, but she is displaying his entire life on the internet, and he has no say in it whatsoever. She posts extremely dramatic, detailed and exaggerated updates to garner sympathy and money, and posts horrible, blurry pictures of him looking awful. The kid doesn't even know what Facebook is, but 2000 of his closest "friends" know his whole freaking medical history! Instead of being there for him when he is transported via ambulance or getting his port accessed, she's taking shitty pictures.

That's not even the tip of the iceberg, but this will go on forever if I continue. I wish I could take him and my girl and move far, far away and take care of them both by myself.

Today might turn into a pity party for guiltypleasures day. I'm trying to turn it around without using food, shopping, or drinking.

I'm so sorry about your SS.  I am from a blended family as well.

You have to let go.  Be there for him as much as you can.  You being wrapped up in what his mom is doing/not doing is doing nothing for you but adding additional grief.  

I hope for the best for your entire blended family, especially your SS.

I actually really needed to hear that. I spend a lot of time being angry about it and angry at H, who is so passive about everything that he never says anything to her. It just makes me sad that some day he will probably see that his entire horrible ordeal was displayed for thousands to see. We all know that nothing is ever really deleted from the internet and the picture that she paints is just not indicative of the actual situation. Thanks for the well wishes.

Man, sorry to be a debbie downer. Back to buttering babies!

I think we need a guilty pleasures day where we do all of those things, minus the pity party.

This is something I would not be okay with and I would call a lawyer ASAP. IMO that's extremely sensitive information that should not be public/shared with that many people. I think a judge/mediator would agree.
