Tuesday's randoms

We need a random thread today.

[diamondsndaisies]

I agree. I think I shall gif.

Ok I think I am done now.

Normally we know what we are doing for Halloween and have bought everything to make/elaborate on the costumes. This year our budget has gone to crap with everything else needing to be done to get licensed. And we thought we would be trick or treating with two little ones and dressing them up.

Now we have to figure out what we are doing since we normally enter (and sometimes win) costume contests. I'm thinking of reusing our Mad Hatter and Alice in Wonderland costumes since Through the Looking Glass came out this year. We won the year we did it.

Good Morning! My day is filled with networking events, ugh.

Today is rough

DH got some crappy news this morning so he's a little bummed today. The brother of one of his good friends died yesterday from complications of a stroke he had recently. DH hung out with the brother a little bit and I got to visit with him a couple of times and he was a nice guy. And he was only in his 50s. I feel really bad for DH's friend. There may be a trip to Oklahoma in the near future for us to attend the service.

Sending hugs to your DH badwolf. I'm sorry for your loss.

Yesterday at work was a complete shit show. I worked from 11:30-6 and never got a break. On top of that the store leader and I were the only people in the store for nearly two hours. So much fun.

I really do not want to go in today but money.

Andplusalso one of my favorite co-workers is putting her two weeks in. I'm so sad. But at the same time she's got full time status so I'm going to attempt to get that while I search for something better. I'd like health insurance again.

[butlerfan]

badwolf so sorry for you husband's loss.

[diamondsndaisies]

badwolf, sorry for your loss.

My boss looked at me this morning and said "So this is your senioritis day".

I still have packing to do. Urgh.

rablissful if you don't find a job with insurance, can you get on the marketplace and get an obamacare plan? Our state has the Medicaid program and after so many months on the state program, younger autoenrolled into an obamacare plan. And the coverage on it is WAY better than my company plan!

I mean, I'd have to do that because MA kind of doesn't like people being uninsured. My store is SO understaffed right now though so they'd be insane to not give me full time.

Like, we're down to three managers right now because they never replaced the one that quit and the assistant store leader is out for surgery.

This is almost literally the store right now.

Literal LOL @ the gif rablissful. Then a sympathetic sigh because hectic work environments are not fun.

I bought pants online this morning and I'm really nervous about if they'll fit or not. I've never bought pants online before. At least they're stretchy pants and not dress pants or jeans, though. So there's a better chance they'll fit. But still.

No, that's a lie. I bought those yoga pants that Whitney recommended last year.

Still nervous.

It really doesn't help when some co-workers do the least in the department then bitch about how much needs to get done before a big walk through.

[diamondsndaisies]

I've worked entirely too much today. I have too much left to do.

But on the plus side. Tomorrow is the last day I have to deal with CW for 2 weeks! Whoohoo!

[butlerfan]

It is a gorgeous fall day here today. If only it stayed like this all winter.

I hear ya. I try not to buy pants online if they have a structured waist. I just bought a skirt from amazon for my Halloween costume but I will definitely be wearing it again and I just realized that it is structured so I pray to goodness it fits.

I think DH and I might just recycle our costumes from last year - we went as Trump and Hillary. Maybe he can just lurk behind me in a menacing way all night.

What did you buy? I've also never bought clothes online because well I rarely buy clothes haha but I'm too afraid they won't fit.

I just did a mini spree yesterday though and although I felt very overwhelmed in the mall at first, I managed to get some good stuff

Re Halloween: DH and I are going to wear old-style 3D movie glasses and F will be popcorn. Because I'm lazy like that lol

They're stretchy work out type pants from JCP. I have a pair that's similar that I got a few years ago in a smaller size, so I'm hoping they haven't changed how they size things. But even still the smaller size still fits, but they were out of stock in that size so I sized up and I'm hoping for the best. Lol. But I like them because they actually carry short sizes.

But don't do anything Trump would do that could get him arrested!

I planned on making this cauliflower dish tonight but now I'm craving Pizza Hut. Decisions, decisions.
