Make it look fun, then. Show some of those "darndest kids" moments. Show the piles of paperwork. Use emojis.
I think the key to enticing a Snapchat audience is to not make something sound boring and monotone. Even with the boring, monotone things. Poke fun. Make them laugh. That's what will make them look.
I like the emojis idea. I should follow some businesses over the next few weeks and get ideas.
your above chat is actually the kind of thing I was thinking about. More videos than pictures, maybe, but yes, like that.
Ahhhhh I just found out that I got on this state appeals panel I applied for, it's super flexible work but in my direct area of specialty and I can do 90% from home. I have to pass a training and do some provisional appeals before I'm officially on (I do get paid for the provisional appeals) but if I get on I can take or leave as much work as I want. I think it will be perfect for when babies come!! I might be able to significantly limit need for daycare, without having to leave the workforce all together! I may now have to celebrate by eating something yummy for lunch.
Congrats!!! Totally deserves a yummy lunch to celebrate!

UPS guy just asked me if I'm going on leave soon. I may be in the minority here, but I love it when people think I look pregnant enough to openly ask me about it. As a plus-size woman pre-pregnancy, my deepest fear is that I just look fat and not pregnant.
I need to learn how to be a better Snapchat-er. I'm doing a Snapchat takeover this month for Way Up, which is like a job recruitment service for college grads. So I'll do basically "A Day in the Life" for what it's like to work at my organization.
Any tips??
Snapchat confuses me...it's the first tech thing that I really can't figure out and makes me feel super old bc I feel like I just don't "get it" ha!
I totally don't get snap chat. Old person here too.

Turns out yummy lunch thwarted by desire to not leave house. Cheerios instead. May have ice cream in a bit, though...
Also the training for the panel is three days, my bday weekend, more than 2 hours from the house when I'll be 25-ish weeks pregnant. So, that's fun. But totally worth it!

I spent like 2.5 hours assembling goodie bags for our new grad residency launch on Monday. Now just waiting on my preceptors to finish whatever meeting they're in because I don't feel like barging in there to join them. lol.
Also, I've totally been that person and brought my yoga ball to the office the past two days to sit on because my tailbone is still killing me. haha
ETA: fix their to they're. That grammatical mistake drives me nuts and I feel like I do it when typing/texting frequently.

ourcrazynavylife, I've been considering bringing my yoga ball to work but I'm not sure I want to call anymore attention to myself than I already do. But it would be so much more comfortable than my chair.
Also, my boss expressed her concerns over who will clean up my chair if my water breaks while I'm sitting in it, so now I have that in the back of my mind stressing me out.
I'm at an 11 with my husband right now for various reasons. I REALLY don't feel like hanging out with him tonight. Like, at all.
But. Our hockey tickets for tonight are literally center ice, like 2 rows from the glass.
Do I...
A) Tell him to take someone else and take the evening to myself to cool down and chill.
B) Go to the game and hope my feelings towards him today don't ruin the evening for both of us.
I've never had seats this good before...
Would you regret not going if you stayed home? Would that make you even less endeared to your husband? Is there anything he can do to make you feel better between now and the game tonight?
If it were me, I would go and try to alleviate the frustration with off-topic conversation. Like...often when I'm royally pissed at MrRama, we quietly exist next to each other still pissed until one of us comments on something completely out of context. Last night when this happened, it was commenting on a show we were watching with dinner. That broke the tension enough to allow us to have a better night. I'm still pissed about what pissed me off and I'm sure he still knows it. We can talk about it later, maybe. But last night wasn't ruined by it, kwim?

Options B) Seats that good are so exciting, you can totally ignore him if needed!
Edit for clarity, you are totally involved in the game that close. ...and if not you are checking to see if you are on TV So not intentional ignoring, just too busy to be bothered.

akraus2015 - Definitely Option B, and I like rama's suggestion.
Also, my boss expressed her concerns over who will clean up my chair if my water breaks while I'm sitting in it, so now I have that in the back of my mind stressing me out.
I really bothers me your boss said something to you about this.
I would have made some comment about "well, guess I should just work from home every day until the baby comes then."

Rama, LadyNymeria, PepperPottsJ, thanks for your input! I'm probably just being a baby...I was annoyed with him last night and we went to dinner and I survived. The game will be fun and hopefully distracting.

I think she was mostly joking/poking fun at me.
But now it's in my head and I can't get it out. I keep picturing co-workers making disgusted faces at me as I waddle out the door leaking... ugh. I wish I could work from home, that would be amazing!
