Have you asked for help? I haven't offered my sister's maid of honor any help either because I'm out of town, and don't really know her. But I would throw money at things if asked.
I've asked for help, but the problem is none of the girls know each other. For example: I ask the girls, "do you want to buy custom made shirts for the bachelorette or make them?" Half say they want to order, the rest say they don't care. So I decide to custom order them because it seems to be the general consensus. Then I get a bunch of msgs saying they can't afford that. THEN FUCKING SAY THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
It's like they are afraid to say what they want, then msg me privately when they don't like something.
So this is exactly how things are going with my sister's wedding. Her maid of honor post pictures of dresses or asks about a date for the bachelorette party, people chime in with some positives and some negatives and she shuts down and nothing happens. I don't consider those conversations to be an ask for help and I hate that they are happening in a facebook group. It makes me feel like a bitch when I have to say things like halter tops give me migraines, and I can't fly in the weekend before the wedding for a party (but I could do it earlier), so I kind of understand why people are being quiet.
But I also don't think these things work well by committee -- I mean some input on the dresses, sure (please don't make me wear a halter top) -- but I keep saying, you can have the bachelorette party when I can't make it, it isn't a big deal, and she just waffles more. Pick a date. You will lose some people with any date. Move on.

My boss said that mani/pedis are the reason that women can't break through the glass ceiling. I am going to assume that she means that women are too concerned with their looks...but I really don't know. She said that they are a pet peeve of hers. Maybe because we aren't allowed to wear open toe shoes so she doesn't know how gnarly some feet can get.

What do mani/pedis have to do with the glass ceiling? I'm so confused.

Sounds like someone needs to pull the stick out of her ass. I know some men who get their nails done. I also see at least one in the chairs when I'm getting my pedi done.

Um. I don't even know what to say to that.
It was by email, so I couldn't really even get a feel for what she was saying. I just responded back about the issue at hand and left that alone.

She is very put together and is the VP of the company, so it is confusing.

Wait, what?
Oh dear. How did you respond?
Our parent company gives a $200 bonus to all hourly employees if they have perfect attendance each quarter. For the 4th quarter of last year, just over half of the people got the bonus. I am working on a list of things that people would spend their money on if they had an extra $200. Being able to get 5 mani/pedis is on the list along with a Fire HD, 77 gallons of gas, ect.
So, when she said that they were her pet peeve, I just asked her if she would like me to take that line off. She said no, but in my opinion it is the reason women can't break through the glass ceiling. To which I said, I will have it ready as soon as Q1 numbers come out...

An exec at my company once told me that women who have enough time to get their nails done aren't working hard enough. Hmmm....OK.

I think it's sad that you have to bribe people with money, outside of their normal salary, to show up to work.
DH has history degrees. We have 3 book cases that are mostly him.
I just spent 30 min typing items into a report and went to save it before running it and I lost everything. Now I'm sitting in my car on lunch listening to maroon 5 "sugar". It was needed.
Time to buy a neti pot!
I feel this so hard. H gives me crap for my books, but then I point out that mine only take up more space because they're bigger. He has more in sheer numbers, they just tend to be smaller/slimmer. He has an entire bookshelf, I have half of one and a few shelves of a nightstand.
Damn history degrees. Then when I complain that I have nothing new to read, he's like "Read one of mine." He does not get my love of fiction. Not that I don't also love non-fiction.
Is it bad that I get rid of books right after I read them? I am like the opposite of a hoarder. When I lived on the east coast I used to be afraid people would judge me for not owning enough books, but now that I live in SoCal.. let's be real, no one reads here.
There are SO MANY check ins on Mondays and Tuesday. I don't think I ever really noticed it before, but it's like, half the first page right now.
I know WTDS had been on Monday for an eternity, but I'm pretty sure 3T/IF used to be Tuesday or Wednesday? I don't know when all the check ins got shoved into the first two days of the week.

Right? I mean, not that it matters. It just makes me realize how many check ins this place really has. It's crazy.

OMG, I am freaking out (in a good way). DH got us tickets to Noel Gallagher in May (whom I LOVE AND ADORE IN POTENTIALLY UNHEALTHY WAYS) as an early 10th anniversary present. We saw him live in 2012 and it was one of the greatest experiences ever. I'm so stoked about this. I just looked at the setlists for his recent concerts and if it stays the same, he will play 2 of the songs I was super sad he didn't play last time, including closing with Masterplan. Y'all . . . that song . . . it like, helped save my sanity. I mean, Noel's music was one of the things that brought me back to normality after Gabriel died. And that song was always special to me, but when I was pregnant with Viv and freaking out all the time, I played it over and over and over. And everytime I played it, she would move. I'd be so worried because she hadn't moved, pop on that song, and there'd she go. It's got such a special place in my heart. And he may be playing it LIVE IN FRONT OF ME IN MAY.

I have no idea who that is but I'm glad your happy about it!
I think I need to go to the doctor. I still can't hear anything properly. Hopefully we can get in and out fairly quickly so we're home before our friends show up. Sigh

I hope you're able to get it sorted. Ear problems are awful.

Have you ever worked in manufacturing? We have 1,800 employees. Don't get me started on FMLA abuse.

I'm pretty sure I just need to get them flushed. The same thing happened a few years ago. I'm hoping that's what it is.
I wish my period would just start already. I'm at 17 dpo (I think, that or it's a weird anovulatory cycle) and there's no sign of my period starting. I can't schedule my saline sono until my period starts and I want to get this going! Ugh.

GASP OF HORROR!
No, really, Noel Gallagher was the lead guitarist and chief songwriter for Oasis. I assume you've heard of Oasis, but depending on your age, perhaps not. UK band, HUGE in the UK, mediocre in America, except for one break-out album in the mid-90's, which featured the hits Don't Look Back In Anger, Wonderwall, and Champagne Supernova. Most people have heard one or more of those.
Oasis split up in 2009 when Noel quit one day right before a concernt. The rest of the group (Noel's brother Liam and the rest) stayed together under the new name Beady Eye, but were mediocre at best and they split up in November. Noel went on to solo projects under the name Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and they just released their second album at the beginning of March.
My favorite song off the new album, if you want to check Noel (who is a fucking genius) out, as well as a good interview by him because he is equally good, if not better, at interviews: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jKUf3ppgnA

REAAAAAALLY stretching here, but maybe you O'd on CD15, so you're only 11DPO?
Probably not, huh? Yeah, probably not. Hope your period shows up soon!
