I'm ready for work to be over for today. I need to go home and finish the Halloween decorations I've been working on for my work area. Decorating commences today for the decorating competition. I'm more excited than I've been in a long time.

I'm tired and my office is freezing! 28 minutes until lunch maybe a nap in my car with the heater running.

[ellabee]

I brought my lunch to work today. Leftover bbq pulled chicken with mac and cheese and the mother of all biscuits. Cannot wait. Will likely need a nap shortly thereafter.

Pull up a chair starbuck27!

This sounds amazing.

Its chilly and overcast here today, which is doing nothing to help my mood. I'm feeling especially pessimistic and grumpy, I also feel like I could use another 4 hours of sleep. Anxiously waiting for DS to lay down for a nap so that I can too.

I brought left over pasta today but I realize I have at home this almost exact meal for left overs and now I want that.

butlerfan I may have missed it because I've bee sporadic posting/reading lately, but how are you liking your new car?

[rooskie]

I'm going out to lunch today with a friend but we have to go at 11 because she has a 12:30 meeting. I hate eating before 1.

Its raining here too.

I like it. I googled what is like a Saturn Vue and Chevy Captiva is what they have. It is very similar to my Saturn which I love but has some updated features. I'm having fun using the navigation system just because and remote start for the same reason. I am still getting used to looking for a blue car and not a red one though so I am like....where did I park? sometimes.

I am loving the fact that I can actually get into the driver's side though .

LOL. Def a plus being able to get into the drivers side! Glad you're liking it!

We're carving pumpkins tonight. H wants to take a stab at making pumpkin pie. We'll probably roast the seeds too.

[cheshie6]

Lentil soup for lunch for me. NM is going on with here. Just knitting Dh some socks.

Chilly day here too. I had a doctor's appointment early and the frost on all the farms looked really pretty on my drive there. I picked up breakfast and a few groceries on my way home and now I just want to veg out. Snuggled on the couch under three blankets because I'm not turning on the heat and way too lazy to start a fire.

[littlelion]

Leftovers for lunch too. Not looking fwd to it, I'm sure it's too spicy. But I hate buying food when we have enough at home. & I brought fruit for snacking. I'd rather have a brownie.

[pismoduo]

So quiet here at work today. The boss isn't back from PTO yet, and I've got two projects waiting on his review before I can continue on them.

Need to write up two articles for our compliance newsletter today, too. I should probably work, instead of hanging out here.

Uuuuugh it's month end. I've been trying to reconcile this one account for over 2 hours now and I just do not understand why it won't balance. It's all my A/P department's fault because they suck ass and have so many voids and reissues that it Fs everything up. I'm usually so good at finding their errors but this is killing me.

At least I have a good lunch in a few minutes- leftover buffalo chicken tenders, fries & fried pickles. Hopefully they will crisp up in the toaster oven!

Sometimes walking away and coming back allows you to find the error(s)....usually it work for me at least. Has a number been transposed?

I love Tuesdays I love having the day off.

Hi ladies. I'm bored. I have a slow week at work and should be catching up on my lab notebook entries but I just don't want to.

The board is so slow lately and I want to start a fun discussion thread but I can't think of anything good. Any ideas?

It has been really slow! Where is everyone?! I never have good ideas for starting threads so clearly I'm not helping the slowness lol.

That's what I'm really hoping! Usually I do come back the next morning and be like bam- got it! I feel like I've looked as thorough as possible but we'll see!

Ugh. I just asked my principal if she was ok with me swapping around my prep time on Remembrance Day so that I can compose myself after the ceremony (thinking I am thinking ahead, being proactive, problem-solving etc) and she basically said in a nice way that I can't just avoid situations and I need to learn to suck it up and deal with it.

Really she said that "avoiding difficult situations isn't the answer you really need to learn some coping strategies" but it feels a lot harsher than it sounded

That day is going to suck.

People love talking about themselves....how they met their S/O? Their proposal or engagement story? A good drinking story? Favorite vacation spot or one they are dying to go?

I was feeling sad this morning thinking about how a lot of people just disappeared from the forums. Sure, some people got KU and moved on to BMBs, and some others have moved on to 3T/IF. But others have just disappeared. I hope they didn't go back to TD.

I was thinking a thread about favorite 90's movies/TV shows would be fun. I've been listening to the 90's music station on Sirius XM in our new car lately and have been feeling nostalgic.

[jamjoyful]

I've ate the best donut this morning. Then, I ate a half of another. I'm currently trying to pretend I don't have the second half.

All good ideas!  We've done wedding/proposal/SO themed threads in the past but I guess it's been a little while, so that might be fun to do again. 

Also, new people should feel welcome start fun discussion threads themselves! If you want to talk about something, start a thread!

My belly is full of Mexican food.

Now I have to balance the budget at work for 2016. It's looking like we won't be doing much repair work......
