Wednesday Hangover Randoms

[diamondsndaisies]

Yesterday was WAY worse than most mondays so I am having a work hangover from yesterday. 

What's new with everyone today?

I need some recs for laundry soap. I have been using the paks because I am a terrible judge of how my soap is needed and like being able to just throw one in. I am currently using All and I am constantly finding parts of the undissolved pack stuck to my clothes and I have to end up re-washing them. Anyone have a favorite they use?

So I have been off of work since the week before Christmas and I took a break from this place too. I've been peeking in though and it's been dead around here! Hopefully that is just because of the holidays. Where is everyone??

[gabride2010]

Good morning y'all. So sleepy today...yawn.

I'm not much help on laundry soap @diamondsanddaisies. We use whatever is on sale, and I just fill up the cap some and dump it in.

doodler This place has been very slow lately. Hopefully it will pick up soon.

How is it only Wednesday?! I really thought it was Thursday. So disappointing.

I like the Arm and Hammer packs. I've never had any issue with them and they're cheap.

H came home with a dozen doughnuts yesterday. So much for that diet. I've already had three.

I'm bored and tired and need another vacation from work. I told MrRama I need a week off. The holidays have wrecked me.

I use Tide Pods. I always make sure to put it in with hot water, let it get soapy and then switch my water to the appropriate temp before adding clothes I found the All brand I had to actually poke a hole in them. I buy mine at Dollar General and use their digital coupons.

I'm too lazy to measure and dump.

Ditto.

And I have a cold that is dragging me down, so that doesn't help. But I also don't want to use my PTO this early in the year.

It is supposed to snow here tomorrow night and I am reallllly hoping for a two hour delay on Friday!

Thankfully, we have a really good PTO system (sick and vacation are separate and accrued monthly, thanks, union!), so I have plenty of time off to use on cases such as this. I just always feel bad taking time off in general, but I gotta take care of me too, y'know?

Always take care of yourself first! It'll make you a better person, employee and wife. Totally agree.

Our PTO is all lumped in together, but we get access to it all at the beginning of the year. I'd rather it be separate. I'm more likely to want to use it all for vacation and none for sick/mental health days with it lumped together.

Yeah, this is like how MrRama's work does it. He always puts off taking care of himself in favor of taking days off for things he'd rather enjoy. It's not a favorable system. :(

I want a gyro for lunch but I don't want to go downtown to get one. Maybe someone closer sells them. I should look. Hm.

[Deleted]

I've been sick since Sunday. I thought it was just food poisoning, but after 4 days I'm still lying in bed with no energy, barely getting myself to eat plain crackers and applesauce. I had meetings I couldn't cancel yesterday, and that completely wiped me out. Luckily today I go to just hole up and watch TV and the snow.

[gabride2010]

I hope you feel better soon Rama!

@led Jealous of your doughnuts! Did you get your gyro?

Feel better soon and stay hydrated @bonzo2012!

No. I probably won't for a while. I don't go downtown often.

It's the same for my husband. He will be really sick and getting ready to go to work, and then I have to yell at him to give up a day for his health.

Hi!! Work was swamped today and I'm in a bad situation with a client (my fault, stupid mistake) so I know I'll be getting shit for at least the next few weeks from my boss, great way to start the year

[ohinvrtedworld]

diamondsndaisies, I'm not much help with laundry. Gain always is my favorite smell! But I have no idea if the packs work well and dissolve, I have only used the liquid. Now I use Arm & Hammer without dye or fragrance but I miss the good smells

[bex15]

Feel better Rama and @bonzo2012!

Someone in my office called in with the flu today, really hoping it doesn't make its rounds to the rest of us.

Hi guys! I was just in Indianapolis working and then went up north in my home state for some R&R with other coworkers -- it was lovely with LOTS of snow! Now I am dying at what a disaster my house is. I need to do a better job of leaving in a state that I'd actually be happy to come home to after traveling everywhere 🙄

If you are a beauty junkie: Target had these fun advent calendars with 12 days of (decent-sized, from the picture) samples that are now half off after Christmas, just $12 a piece! I ordered one!

Super cute!  I love little samples.... if it was free shipping I'd buy it, but I do not need to buy anything else.  Trying to save money sucks

I am a nut about free shipping too. Thankfully I have a red card or else there's no way I'd pay lol.

Thanks gabride2010 and bex15, I'm drinking tons of water and weak tea. Hoping everything clears up soon, since I'm now bored of being sick.

ohinvrtedworld, I hate coming home to a messy house too. H never used to understand why I went on cleaning sprees before vacations.
