Monday Drinks/Randoms

[rablissful]

So there was no randoms today and I feel lost, even with all the interesting threads that have been posted.

What has GKU been up to today?

[rablissful]

I'm drinking some watered down Pedialyte, still not feeling great.

My interview is tomorrow and I'm so nervous.

Our 2 year wedding anniversary is on Sunday and I'm at a loss as to what to get. What's a good cotton gift that doesn't involve clothing?

New sheets? A sweet throw pillow? Plush blanket (or an nfl team snuggie)? A hammock? A nice new bathrobe?

I'm drinking a pumpkin spice latte. First of the season. Kinda making me feel better but not 100%. The double chocolate cookie helps too.

[GOmamab15]

Good luck tomorrow rablissful

Go Hammock!!!

[wannabmama]

rablissful good luck!!!
easilyunamused that's tricky...what's he into? Could you do like nice bedding or something? Kind of girlie gift...but MH loves super nice sheets, ha. Or you could stretch the sheets idea to a night in a nice hotel...that's a tricky one!
I'm having wine and trying to figure out what to do with my life, ha.

[akraus2015]

H made me crab cakes, shrimp, and sweet potatoes for dinner because I had to work late. Now we are chilling on the couch with a glass of wine and the windows open. Loving this cool weather!

[rablissful]

I did so much adulting today. I'm exhausted.

Grocery shopping, four loads of laundry, cleaned out the litter box (even wiped it down), and re-did my resume so it's more appropriate for the job tomorrow. Plus got a bunch of stuff together for the interview. And picked out my outfit

I think I have one unisom left, so I'll be taking that to make sure I sleep tonight!

Work has been crazy. Our team lead who has been there for 10 years is leaving and her last day is Friday. This week will be spent frantically trying to learn all of her tasks. I haven't even been there for 90 days yet and I'm being given responsibilities that are way above my level of knowledge. I'm so scared that I'm going to just royally fuck up everything.

I just asked H, "What kind of gift would you like that was cotton and not clothing." His response: "Does lingerie count as clothes??"

[GOmamab15]

My H wants to get rid of all the baby stuff we've been given.
I'm like But. No. The idea is we'll have a kid and we'll get to use it. We're giving up?
Blegh

Breathe. I'm sure you will be fine and rock it.

Will you make mistakes? Probably. But that's how we learn. I highly doubt you will royally fuck anything up.

It can get depressing having baby stuff but no baby.

I put our stuff in storage. We had already purchased a car seat, a bunch of cloth diapers, and some clothes. Some things I felt belonged specifically to Emmett, so I put those things in a memory box, and put all the other things and my maternity clothes in storage. I don't have to see them, but hopefully will get to use them someday.

Edit: words

dis she announce less than two weeks ago that she was leaving? I don't understand how they expect team members to learn the team leads task in one week. That nonsense.

Transitions are nonsense.

Thank you. it's just an overwhelming amount of responsibility to be given whe im still pretty new. But I guess they wouldn't give me that responsibility of they didn't think I was at least somewhat capable of not ruining everything.

She gave notice the Friday before Labor Day weekend, but management didn't start dividing up her workload until last Friday.

Taking on new responsibilities can be overwhelming, but it can also be exhilarating. Ask questions when you need to, and write things down until you start feeling comfortable. Best of luck to you!!

I think SO is getting a cold.

I feel like we work at the same place. Does Cargowise mean anything to you?

Not at all. Unfortunately I think this kind of thing is fairly common with large corporate businesses.

[jubilantsquirrel]

And thanks for helping with my confidence you guys!

I just had some hot apple cider and finally finished PLL. Not at all what I was expecting but I'm glad they wrapped up that story. I need a new binge show!!
