I have 45 minutes left! We used to get a "golden handshake" from our senior manager where he came around and said "have a good holiday" and we were free to go. Our senior manager is new and he's on vacation this week. I guess technically we could just leave because no one is here to stop us but I'm gonna try to wait it out the last 45 minutes.
I always thought a golden handshake was a sweet severance package that executives get when they are fired... no?
That's a golden parachute
Also my boss is not letting us leave early. Jerk. I'm leaving 15 mins early just to stick it to the man (no one will notice or care and I have nowhere to be).

Her: Excuse me. I need you to find him for me. Me: Hm? Her: (sigh) I SAID that I need you to find him for me. Me: Um... well I can't leave the lab. I'm sure your husband will be back soon. Her:...not him. I want to know where the fucking thing went for typing.
Oh well, excuse me.
oh I'm sorry! They both sound awful! But this conversation did make me laugh
It made me laugh too, although I managed to keep it in. LOL

*sigh* H and I were going to meet at 11 for lunch, but I forgot I had a meeting at that time. So when he called me at 10:30 I said let's meet at noon. Then I called him at 11 to let him know my meeting was cancelled and he said he had to finish one thing and he'd call me when he was ready to go.
That was just shy of 2 hours ago. He just called me to let me know that he was having lunch with his team instead. They're already out at the restaurant and everything.
Like, seriously dude? I've been sitting here waiting for you to call me, and you knew it. And then he's like "Oh yea, can you also call the friends that are supposed to be coming over tonight to see what the plan is, and can you pick up the stuff for dinner tomorrow?"
SERIOUSLY. People are out to piss me off today. First this thing with H, then I get a private FB message from the crazy bitch on the HOA FB page. I tried having a rational discussion with her last night about her concerns over the HOA's decision to allow members to light fireworks off in an open area down near the lake. I was SUPER FUCKING NICE. But because she used the term "errant gust of wind" and I then also used it, she's decided I was mocking her. So she sends me this message:
"Hi (my name)... I guess you liked the phrase "an errant gust of wind" because you used it twice... Mocking? If you prefer me to use sarcasm and smaller words, I can do that easily. If not, glad you learned something. Have a nice day."
I shouldn't be upset with this, but instead I'm sitting here shaking with rage.
I was sick last month and never saw a Dr. Now I'm kicking myself bc my chest hurts like a bitch. I went and saw the dr. today who prescribed an inhaler. I have no clue what I'm doing. Even watched youtube videos. I've never inhaled anything in my life...totally doing it wrong.

Are you on the HOA? If so more power to you, my husband and I draw straws to see who has to go to the meeting each month
I'm on the board of directors this year. I figured I'd get involved and help out. Most of the time I enjoy it, but sometimes I just want to quit and give the finger the majority of the community.

Just take a quick, deep breath at the same time you're pushing down on the inhaler.

Am I supposed to feel it on my tongue? It keeps getting in the way lol.
Help me buy a bed! (We inherited our last bed frame, so I am not up to speed on how this all works.)
We have a pretty nice boxspring + mattress set we bought 5 years ago. I don't necessarily want to get rid of the boxspring and I like a higher bed, as opposed to low to the ground. When choosing a frame, what style should I buy? I see a lot of "platform" frames - are they meant to take the place of a box spring? Or would they accommodate the whole set?
I think platform beds are made to not take a box spring, you just set the mattress on it. They are normally a little lower to the ground.
Im a big fan on upholstered beds, I think they make a nice statement without being too busy. We bought something like this (link) for our master. Both our guest rooms have wrought iron beds, one black and one white, since I figured they would be able to transition into kids rooms one day
Thanks! I am eyeing an upholstered bed like the one you linked to, but it is a light amethyst color and DH isn't crazy about it. We have a big room, so something that takes up visual space is helpful. Plus, I like that it is fabric. We have too many competing furniture finishes in the room right now - two mis-matched brown wood nightstands, a birch closet, a painted wood dresser - and I don't want to introduce a whole different wood finish to the mix.

That was my struggle as well. I really wanted to go with navy, but chickened out and got an off white. I kind of regret it, but I like changing up our sheets with the seasons and I feel like navy would make that hard to do
Thoughts? Too loud? I fall into the trap of always buying neutral furniture and am trying to avoid it. My living room set is beige, our dining room set is brown - I want a little color in my life! DH said it was a little girly, but if I like it, his "penis won't fall off."

What a fucking bitch. So what if you used it twice? Especially since that's the phrase she used.
Thanks! I love it, too. We have a golden-yellow rug with a lattice pattern in the same room, which I think would go really nicely with the purple. Everything else in the room is white or wood. The price is crazy good, too. Everything else I've liked has been at least $700.

Do it. The purple is seriously awesome. Are you doing new bedding? If so, maybe keep it clean and more tailored to keep any potential "girly-ness" balanced?

Exactly! This same person accuses people of "bullying" her if they ask her to provide proof of her crazy ass claims, or call her out for being a raging bitch to people who didn't do anything but ask a question.
We are getting "new" neighbors and they are gutting the house. I went home at lunch and the contractors trailer was parked on our lawn. This isn't the first time and I about lost it.
Clearly I need to win the lottery and move to a private island.

Thank you!! Our bedding is also very neutral - sheets and comforter are a brown sugar color. Our pillow shams have several colors in them, including purple.
I'm getting excited - thanks for the feedback, ladies.

I hadn't ever heard this one! So if the $ is in the employment agreement it's a handshake, but if you're shown the door without a contract but "kindly" give you a bunch of money to land on, it's a parachute. I like it.

Haha. Either way, it's not in my employment agreement so I don't really have to worry!!

Mine either...and I have a feeling my boss would snip the cord on that parachute on my way down.
