kleigh , that's a hard situation to be in. I do feel like it's other people's job to confront someone if they feel their boundaries are being tread on. She should be the one to express that expectation. I'm with you, though, it seems like it's an emergency and that not everyone would feel like they are "taking advantage." It's hard when someone really wants you to agree with them and support their side of a situation when you don't want to.
I feel soo bad but this is a never ending issue of hers. She doesn't like her job but doesn't look for a new one, she isn't happy in her relationship but won't leave, she just lacks the confidence to make change and I think it'd be more beneficial for her to Stand up for herself. It sucks seeing anyone (esp a little sister) like this. If anyone has tips on helping her I'm all ears.
I wrote a massive post and decided it's probably a better PM. Sorry in advance for the novel!!
wannabmama If it was me I'd leave early. But that's with the expectation of my last day being sometime soon. Fyi my sister was asked to leave as well. She lasted another year after that. I think it's different than being fired. But it's up to how you feel plus how others are treating you.
Yeah PirateCat and littlelion I think I have an "appointment I just can't miss" today at 4... The assistant for the partner here who has been trying to help just came in talking about the HH and I said I might have to leave early...she started whispering and said she doesn't blame me and all these people can F off, ha. She's so sweet to me. She also did IVF and we talked about that for awhile. Even though we were whispering you can hear everything in this office. I'm sure others heard it but don't cuuuurrr. She orders the food and organizes the HH so I'm glad I told her I planned on leaving and she supported that decision. Looks like I'll be having a very short day today, ha.
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
I was not surprised by Neil but I was really surprised that Sam wanted to stay married! The previews for the 6 month update *almost* made it sound like they are dating. Can't wait! And I loved how Dr. Pepper called whats her name cold. She is so ice cold!
And I don't know what's up with Trey and Vanessa. They should be the perfect couple, but I'm not so sure....
wannabmama I'm glad you reached a decision, actually I was gonna suggest going for the free booze. I don't think you should take it personally that you were asked to find another job, and I don't think you should have to walk around or feel like it's your fault or a reflection of you either!
My husband and I took a walk yesterday and he saw this truck next to our apartment complex and said, "hey, it's so and so company" so I replied with, "cool, what do they do?" So my husband said it was a company that captures snakes. Me:
wannabmama, it's so nice to have an ally at the office. Handing in my sparse timesheets the past few months would have been soooo much worse if my office manager wasn't super cool.
kleigh yeah it's getting somewhat less awkward, I just feel kind of useless. Also...almost no one drinks at them anymore since the two other young-ish associates are KU. They do usually have good food, but I should be staying away for extra food anyway.

I think Vanessa is trying to mold Tres into her perfect husband and he is trying so hard. He's going to snap eventually. She doesn't accept that he still likes to party, etc.
Neil and Sam had a good talk and I think if they could be friends for awhile they could get back together. He just got treated like crap. She was totally trying to get closer physically at the end and he didn't really give back so that kind of showed what he thought.
David needs his own show. Ashley was never in that marriage. He has enough guy friends that they could help pick girls for him. Even if they do it via online dating.
I think they need new experts after the last two seasons.

rooskie, I would love it if they brought David back for another season. He seemed like such a great guy. He definitely tried too hard, but overall a really nice human.

I got a long overdue haircut this morning! I was crossing over into mullet territory. It looks and feels so much better. And way less effort to style when it is super short. I scheduled on more cut and then I think I am going to start growing it out. That is going to suck though.

I just love 1 hour meetings that last 2 hours and cut in to my lunch time. Don't people know I like my lunch?
Thanks for the suggestions on places for work clothes. I think I have been stalking on buying clothes because I hate the size I'm currently wearing and I also keep thinking I don't want to buy a bunch of clothes, GKU, and not be able to wear them. But I need to bite the bullet. There is an outlet mall 45 minutes from me so I think I should go there. They have Loft, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, and Gap. I should be able to find some decent options there!
sleepymonkey, I wear a ton of White House Black Market - it's usually well-made and they have a lot of good sales. I think all my black pants from there are also machine wash/dry.

****** I'm going to put the plug in for poodles here. They're typically low shed (although their coats require grooming just like a yorkie) and they're very smart & sweet. You tend to see a lot more of poodle x's in shelters than yorkie I feel like.
kleigh, ugh, good luck. For what it's worth, I agree that it's up to her to speak up if it's upsetting her. If no one else has a problem with it, and R is just utilizing family support during a hard time, then I don't get the problem. It's great that you have each other to do that.
wannabmama, I would also leave, enjoy your short day! I'm glad you're not alone.
@miawallace Hell no to snakes. Nope nope nope nope nope. Nothing without legs should move that fast. It's not natural and nope.
I'm rocking out to the Broadway station on Pandora today. Making all the difference.
I'm sitting in the Seattle airport waiting for our connecting flight, sipping on a crappy latte. I've been up for over 24 hours now and I don't even feel tired yet.
TTC #1 since August 2013 DX: Endo November 2014: Hysteroscopy, D&C June - September 2015: Clomid + Novarel + IUI #1-3 January 2017: Laparoscopy - endo removed
I'm sitting in the Seattle airport waiting for our connecting flight, sipping on a crappy latte. I've been up for over 24 hours now and I don't even feel tired yet.
You should ditch the airport and the crappy latte and I'll ditch work and my bottled water and we can go day drink together.
We plan to get a puppy soon. I want a little Yorkie. But, I figure we will get a shelter puppy. But it's gotta be a "low or no" shedding to live inside. So it may be hard to find.
Rgwew There are so many little mix puppies available, I hope you find the perfect baby Personally I feel like dogs with more "hair", like poodles, yorkies, and long haired chihuahuas are easier to keep the shedding under control. Brushing is super effective, and you can get a puppy cut to keep it shorter. Jack Russell and short haired chihuahua hair is more of a pain in the ass for me. It is harder to vacuum, especially on furniture, and brushing is not as effective.
July 2013 started TTC 7/20/2014=BFP; CP confirmed 8/1/2014 Dec 2014: Diagnosis = Unexplained IF 12/24/2014 Medicated TI (clomid)=BFN 1/22/2015: IUI #1 cancelled due to cyst 02/17/2015: IUI #2 cancelled due to another cyst 3/31/2015: IUI with Femera, 1 good follie, great sperm count = CP, my December Rainbow became an Angel
I was supposed to go take a midterm for a class yesterday and forgot. Now I'm scrambling trying to figure out childcare so I can get there today, because my professor agreed to let me come in today and take it for partial credit.
I hate that I didn't go to school right out of high school and now I'm trying to juggle full time schoolwork, a husband, 2 kids, & 3 volunteer committees. I'm sinking.
I just love 1 hour meetings that last 2 hours and cut in to my lunch time. Don't people know I like my lunch?
Or when they schedule a mtg at lunchtime. Or when you have back to back meetings but it's frowned upon to eat a sandwich during a mtg. hello, do you want me to faint here?
I love all the suggestions you got for shopping places. I also feel in a wardrobe rut. And just like you I think I should wait because I could be pregnant next month & yada yada yada.

Hey all! I *really* need to get MHs SA results soon. I haven't taken birth control since I was a teenager and now I remember why. I'm feeling very out of control of my emotions.
Has anyone needed to take BC before an iui or IVF cycle? Do they just have to stop in the middle of the pack, or do you have to take all of them? I should've said I'd wait out a natural cycle. If BC makes me feel like this, I can't imagine what I'll be like on clomid and other fertility drugs.
