What are you doing to GKTFU? Letrozole, OPKs, EOD sex
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: nothing, just waiting to O
GTKY: What was your first job? (totally stolen from TWW - I think it's such a good one!)
I was a baby sitter making good money for a long time. My first taxable job was as a cashier at a store called party city, which was anything but a party!
Ugh, I can't even imagine working at Party City. I see the employees and feel like it's the place dreams go to die.
True story! We made it our own party (cause that is what teenagers do) but as a job it was the worst ever!
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Pretty sure O will be today, OPK's went back to neg today. Only temps will tell. So glad I brought all my TTC stuff on our weekend away, otherwise we probably would have missed my FW.
GTKY: What was your first job? (totally stolen from TWW - I think it's such a good one!) I worked at a video store in a really small town. It basically meant I got paid to sit and do my homework, since we almost never had customers.

What are you doing to GKTFU? Charting, lots of sex, green tea, red raspberry leaf tea, vitamins and minerals (multi, Folgard, vit e, baby aspirin), meditation/yoga.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Noel Gallagher's new album was released today and I am in love love love. I have an interview tomorrow and I am freaking out and trying to prep for it. And y'know, do my actual job. Basically, I'm all over the place today.
GTKY: What was your first job? (totally stolen from TWW - I think it's such a good one!) First job with taxable income (ie, not babysitting for cash) was in housekeeping at a bed and breakfast. Then I was a National Merit Recruiter, then an assistant to an academic advisor, and then my first real job after college was as an advising/admissions assistant in a college. Scintillating stuff, I know.

What are you doing to GKTFU? Sex with preseed, OPKs, temping
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: FF predicted O today, but my temp dropped and methinks it will be later this week. OPKs have all been negative too. I seriously cannot figure out CM - it really seems like I just don't produce much, thus the preseed. DH is feeling a bit better this week, so hoping that O date is later and we can improve our timing this week.
GTKY: What was your first job? I started cleaning my dad's office at about age 10 and working at my grandpa's bakery at 15, but first outside the family jobs were at 16 - I was a tennis instructor for little kids and ran the tennis facility in the summer, and I also was a passed appetizer/cocktail waitress for a wedding caterer. And yes, they did have a 16 year old delivering drinks to people. So many nasty drunk uncles at those weddings. But one bride did get trashed and decided to lift up her whole dress to show everyone her fancy lingerie - it was special.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Fuck this noise. According to FF, my next five cycles between now and when school ends at the end of June, not a single fucking one will line up with any of my last couple of breaks. Which means H and I will be relegated to midnight sex for the next five fucking cycles because we do not see each other all day and it's literally the only way we can squeeze in any chance at even having a remote possibility of making a baby between now and June. I had all my hopes on cycle four because my FW overlapped with February break. Now we get five cycles of me having to wake up at midnight to try and do this shit. It's not fair. Fuck you body and fuck you shitty work schedules. Go to hell.
GTKY: What was your first job? Local pizza place. I answered phones and did food prep. I worked there from 14 until about half way through my junior year when the $50 a week I made under the table no longer cut it.

What are you doing to GKTFU? BBT, PNV, CM, OPKs, preseed, lots of water, sex
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Positive OPKs Sunday night/Monday morning have faded with no temp rise.
GTKY: What was your first job? Besides babysitting, my first real job was a summer at Blockbuster video. Be kind and rewind!! Then next summer was at Party City like cateyes. I quit after Halloween and we lovingly called it Party Shitty.

Cycle/Month: 8 and climbing....
CD: 4
What are you doing to GKTFU? EOD, OPK, BBT, PNV, CM
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: CD4 and my period is almost done already. I think I'll be set tomorrow.
GTKY: What was your first job? (totally stolen from TWW - I think it's such a good one!) I worked at a youth recreation center where I sold candy and checked out activity equipment. And whenever we had basketball, softball games I was a score keeper and did concessions. I started working that job when I was 14.
What are you doing to GKTFU? Bbt, pnv's, EOD sex, CM, CP, opk's
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I'm using digital opk's for the first time this month. Each previous month I've noted a positive on CD 13 but then I'd get another two days of positives. I'm wondering if I was misinterpreting the first positive. I'm curious to see when the digital gives it to me.
GTKY: What was your first job? I worked in our local library as a "Page"
Sorry to those on CD1/2/etc... @katerli, cnf2013 - sending you vibes for this being THE cycle.
anonymouseliza good luck in your interview tomorrow. I'm sure you'll rock it!
Cycle/Month: 3/4
CD: 2 argh
What are you doing to GKTFU? Drinking AF away.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: We have to be better at timing this month. Last month between travel and my parents visiting, we only hit one day in my FW. Obviously not cutting it. I need to not make excuses and try for EOD this month. I'm going to be travelling for work for my whole FW in April according to FF so I'm thinking we need to take advantage of this cycle.
GTKY: I worked at a grocery store and HATED IT when I was 16. I quit and went to work at an ice cream parlour which was way more fun and way more delicious!
14joa31 - just curious, why don't you temp during AF? I know it's irrelevant but I still like doing it and having that data in my chart. Sparkly, what's a goldenrod girl?

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I O'ed on C17 last month, so I wasn't even going to start ED until last night. I took two OPKs yesterday, and they were both negative. My husband and I had sex last night, because I noticed CM yesterday afternoon. Anyway, I woke up this morning with a clear temperature shift and my OPK at 10 AM was (finally) positive. SHITTTTT!!!! I'm guessing the positive OPK this morning just caught the tail end of the surge, and I ovulated yesterday. If I had known I was going to ovulate so much earlier this month (4 days, really?), I would have made sure we had sex on Sunday and Saturday too. I'm just so mad, because I know our timing this month is not that great. Ugh!
GTKY: What was your first job? (totally stolen from TWW - I think it's such a good one!) Either McDonald's or Burger King when I was 16. It's been almost 20 years now, so I honestly don't remember which one it was anymore!

Agreed! Now that I see how awesome it is, I also need to know - did you get to make the salt water taffy? That sounds like a dream come true.
yeah, no. Just sell it. And stand near the guys making it. I promise, it's absolutely not as cool as it looks. They made us wear fugly knee-length skorts and polo shirts too. No, that's not a typo on the skorts.

I will admit I still love this place and their taffy, ice cream, and waffles though, as much as it's kind of awful to work for them. Hahaha
ETA: and turkey salad sandwiches, and blueberry strudel, and fountain soda, and and and now I want it to be May so they open and I can make H take there again right this minute. #foodporn

GTKY: What was your first job? Local pizza place. I answered phones and did food prep. I worked there from 14 until about half way through my junior year when the $50 a week I made under the table no longer cut it.
I'm sorry to hear about crappy projected FW timing. DH is on nights right now too (and is in a super bummed out/depressive mood today) so I doubt midnight sexy time will be happening which is a shame because I've had the best fertile CM yet. Boo. You never know though, this cycle could be shorter/longer and push your FW back into your breaks
What are you doing to GKTFU? BBT, CM, OPK's, Pre-Seed, EOD
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Positive OPK today plus other secondary signs point to O tomorrow.
GTKY: What was your first job? Besides babysitting, my first job was teaching piano lessons at a local studio. I taught there all throughout high school and it was a great job!

Actually, we just lucked out. My FW falls during H's spring break (he works collegiate, I'm public grade school, different breaks) so he'll be home by 7pm every night. Thank goodness. The conversation with him was terrible though. He is pretty bummed and said he thinks he might go get an SA even though I told him it's not really necessary yet. I felt so sad telling him we were out.

That's crappy I'm sorry for CD1 but am glad that your breaks/fertile window line up a bit better b
