Re-entry burn Monday randoms

[butlerfan]

It's Monday again...the weekends are always too short.

[ironbaby]

Way too short.

I leave work today at 1, though, so that's helping the transition.

[Deleted]

I had work things both Saturday and Sunday, so the weekend was definitely too short! On the plus side, I shouldn't need to do any 12 hour days for the next month, so I can regroup some of the energy the last 2 weeks took out of me.

[rooskie]

I got roughly 5 hours of sleep and came into 101 emails from taking off part of last week. Thank goodness for coffee.

I'm so sore today too. H decided he wanted to take all the stairs and skip the escalators in Vegas. So many stairs.

[wannabmama]

Since I was in training all weekend, this is an extra rough Monday for me, too!

And I'm crazy busy this week. I have no idea how I will get everything done...and sleep. I also had one extra glass of wine last night that I did not need.

In an hour or so I am going to the gym to try to shake out the cobwebs a bit. I would much rather use that time to take a nap...

[wannabmama]

how was vegas, rooskie ?!?

[daisy818]

I don't know what I did to my neck/upper back yesterday, but I was in pain most of yesterday and could barely move my head when I woke up today. It's a bit better now (I can almost turn my head to my shoulder on both sides), but ugh. Doesn't help that DH is just like, yeah, that's called getting old.

[butlerfan]

rooskie how was Vegas? Hope you had fun! I would love to go once just to say I've gone.

It was way too short of a trip. We had fun, saw 2 shows, and I got my Shake Shack fix. Didn't win, but we got a lot of comps so that makes up for it. The weather was perfect! It was like 85 and sunny every day. It was cool to be out there with the sports going on now because the tvs all had football or baseball on so we could get score updates.

H is already trying to figure out a way to go back in the spring but for a full week so we don't feel rushed.

butlerfan - do it! There is so much out there to see and do. Even if you don't gamble, there are exhibits, shows, and neat little things to see.

alwayscheese, Saturday was opening night for a play, so while it's technically a work thing it isn't too bad. Plus H gets to go and schmooze with me Sunday I sat in on the first rehearsal for the holiday show I'm working on, so definitely work. Then again, after 2 weeks of crazy hours and exhaustion of getting 2 shows up, sitting in on the excitement of the first rehearsal process reminds me again why I do what I do.

[daisy818]

alwayscheese, I can't really get on DH's case about calling me old, because he's 7 years older than me and I remind him of it regularly. Just getting a taste of my own medicine

[rooskie]

I need to go get my flu shot today. I hate shots, but I want to get it over with.

Mine was done at work a couple weeks ago...H still needs to go get his.

[wannabmama]

I should get my flu shot, too rooskie since I'm between cycles...but I'm so sick of shots, ha! I am glad you had fun in Vegas! I wish MH could go and enjoy it, he just can't...good thing I have girl friends who love it

I'm sorry about your neck and back daisy818 I hope you can get some relief! (I hate driving when my neck/back hurt, turning and twisting to see behind me is always the worst!)

[wannabmama]

I just got a nice piece of feedback on a project I did for my contract job and I totally started crying at my desk...do you guys know how long it has been since I got positive feedback on my work? I am literally starved for positive feedback. My last, full-time, job was truly abusive, I think.

I also love the irony that my old job was critical of my writing and editing skills and literally almost every contract or position I have gotten since I left has been writing and editing (and has required writing samples/tests to even get the position)...so they can SUCK IT.

I here you on the positive feedback. My ex boss is/was an asshole and there were many times I cried at work or came home crying.  While my current job isn't quite what I want forever it's much better for my health and well being. And much better treatment then at previous job.

I had a pretty busy weekend as well. It was my nephew's birthday this weekend so we had a party with him Saturday during the Husker game. It was a ton of fun just hanging with family. Then Sunday I had a girls day with future SIL and my BFF and we went to Lincoln to eat at our favorite restaurant HuHot and gourmet donuts and shopping for Halloween costumes. It was a good time but I am fricking tired today.

It's the worst to know that your job is really affecting your health and well being. I had never experienced that before my last job. I didn't even realize how much it was impacting me. I am making half of what I made before, and this current thing is just a 6 mo contract, so it's not permanent, but it is doing wonders for my confidence and restoring my faith in humanity, ha!

Hey girls heyyyy

Weekend? What's a weekend? I worked Friday-Sunday so I didn't get one of those. I have a day off tomorrow though! And I get out at 3:30 today so that we'll be nice since I usually close.

Also, I might have a date tonight! I'm very excited.

I just have to ask the work nurse and she'll do it for me. They had the flu shot drive last week and she always has leftovers.

I'm just wimpy.

[wannabmama]

ahhhhh rablissful I am so excited about your potential date!! Anything you can share with the class about this lucky guy and/or your date plans?!?! I hope you have a great time (and yay for tomorrow off)!

[rablissful]

wannabmama the only details I have thus far is 7pm. We're both at work so we've been playing text tag. I'm already stressing out on what to wear.

He's 31 and has a 5 year old son. Loves GoT and HP and is willing to binge Supernatural with me

He also texted me good morning beautiful yesterday. That was very nice to wake up to.

So overall a winner.
