I am having a really REALLY hard time biting my tongue when my boss starts bragging about how she is spending $10,000 on Christmas, and how last year the presents in her living room stacked up over 6ft tall. I think it's in really bad taste to shove this down the throats of two of your workers who may no be able to buy their family gifts this year. ( She talks about it every. single. day. People who don't even work with us have heard about it from her.)
I have alllll the mommy guilt this season over not being able to buy the baby presents for his first Christmas, but we are still not back on our feet from H losing his job a couple months ago. Going to work lately has only made my mommy guilt worse when I have to sit and listen to her go on and on about how she has 18-20 gifts for each of her grandkids under the tree right now, and has more packages showing up every day.
Ew-- that's disgusting.
FFFC-- I didn't buy DD presents for her first or second Christmas. She got a bunch of stuff from my parents/ rleatives/ friends and she was none the wiser.
This right here. Get baby a stocking with some bath toys and call it a day. This year is DD's third Christmas and I'm still not buying her anything. Her birthday is tomorrow. No gifts from me.
I am terrified I won't fit in my airplane seat to fly back home for xmas. I have been making little strings to measure how big the seat is and how much seat belt there will be, and holding them against my body.
Okay, is Vivian Soraya too much of a mouthful? Both other girls have at least one name with a familial connection and I'd like to keep that going. Soraya is my aunt's middle name and I've always loved it.
The worst part about it is that she often bitches about how much she pays every month for her daughter's tuition and how she doesn't have an income (they bought the business 3 years ago and haven't paid it off yet). So, no income, and yet this obscene Christmas? Riddle me this Batman....
I can't seem to stop making myself look like an ass in front of our CEO. He just came into my office and I was looking at my phone curled up in a ball in my chair (because I'm fucking cold) and he asked me the simplest question, which I realized 5 minutes later I told him the wrong thing so I then had to run down to his office before he sent out an email to correct my dumb ass.
PSA: Target has all board games B2G1 free through tomorrow. I was thinking on my drive to work that I'd like to get some new board games for family time, then BAM! a text from Target about board games.
Now I'm going to go think real hard about how awesome it would be for millions of dollars to just fall into my lap.
Hi and bye! I read this whole thread thinking I was going to post, but now I have to run out the door. I'm going to work in one of our stores today. It's always fun to get out there and feel really incompetent. Instead of "I'm in training" badges, they should give us "I'm from the corporate office, and therefore useless" badges.
I'm pissed at my husband's work. He's a contractor, and thus is paid hourly. They told him he was approved for overtime a few weeks ago. There was a big deployment this week, so he worked until midnight on Wednesday. After he worked, they told him the overtime request wasn't actually approved and they would only pay him for 40 hours this week. They need him to work a full day today because there is still work to be done, so he will work at least 10 hours for no pay this week. If he was salaried with benefits and PTO, I wouldn't care. I routinely worked 50-60 hours a week when I was working, but this sucks.
I don't think that is legal?

It's also dumb with the Chili's waitress that she didn't notice a BOWL(even if the bowl was empty, just the bowl itself wasn't supposed to be on my plate since I had substituted extra fries in the place of the bowl of cinnamon apples). It's dumb she didn't notice 2 bbq sauces missing, as well as the side mayo missing. It's not that it's dumb to miss something by accident, what's dumb is to miss it by not CHECKING OVER WHAT ARE YOU *********************SERVING********************* since the job is called "SERVING", you have to ********CARE*********** about **********WTF************ you are serving if it **************APPEARS***************** CORRECTLY OR NOT. Like don't bring a bowl if the bowl wasn't ordered. LIKE DUH. I mean if there was one thing missing and she wouldn't have asked what I ordered, that's acceptable, but all of those things wrong(no extra fries even as well) and her asking me to repeat my order because she was *******************************TOO LAZY AND UNCARING TO *********READ************************************ HER WRITTEN ORDER SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO WORK(which once my food has arrived it is not acceptable to ask me what I ordered when she WROTE IT THE FUCK DOWN, she should have a WRITTEN LIST RIGHT THERE TELLING HER. She was STUPID TO BE THAT LAZY THINKING SHE'D MAKE A GOOD TIP FOR DOING ALMOST NOTHING. Then, as I said, she decided to put a smiley face on my check, so she found the time to doodle for her tip money, but no time to give a care if my order was right. That's MEAN, LAZY, SELFISH, AND UNCARING.
She actually just argues in circles about the same things. But it's fascinating to me that she is so dedicated to the cause and continues to go out to eat.
Re: Confessions?
I'm glad you like it! It's on my long phantom baby girl list (I am OaD).
I think the NN Vivee is totally adorable too.
