Friday night drinks

[sloopy02]

mustloveerica I once thought I got my coworkers stomach illness because of how I felt at work one Friday. Then about 4pm I remembered how ridiculous book club had gotten the night before.... at least every one at work was very empathetic because they thought I got sick from the coworker my boss shamed into coming into work.. whoops

[sloopy02]

I've had two beers. A coors light and a wernersgruner.

jubilantsquirrel, I got talked to this week too about my phone use at work. So much for TCFing while at work.

Don't these bosses know we have more important things to do during the day than work?!

My boss is so attached to her cell she'd have to come up for air before she could complain about any of us.

It's that whole "do as I say not as I do" mentality.

So now I'm eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch out of the box. I really should not go shopping on my own H usually help me stay away from the crap.

That's one of my favorite snacks.

I should really make some real food to eat. But so lazy. I need a personal chef.

Water tonight. Early morning for church stuff tomorrow.

Question for y'all... I read the TTC length thread and my heart broke for everyone struggling to have a child. How should those of us, like me, who haven't walked that path (at least not yet) behave (as it were) here on GKU? As someone mentioned, I know that the culture has shifted towards more of a 3T lite with the exodus and less fresh blood. It's still a home for me, though, as we prepare to TFAS. TFAS might take us 1 month, might take us 15. I don't know. But how can I, and others like me, acknowledge the pain of other posters while still using GKU for support if/when our TTC journeys are shorter?

You know, to start this thread off on a light topic too.

I like this question. I have a really simple answer for it. 1)Don't overthink your words.
2)Know your audience.
3)Approach conversations and threads just like you would IRL, don't barge in and change topic to suit your immediate need without a proper apology.
4)Remember we are all human and you can't please everyone.

Pretty much. I guess I'm supposed to ignore that both my manager and assistant manager are constantly on their phones. ?

Wallie can be super awkward IRL, and has to remind herself IRL to do these things on a regular basis.

FTR, Wallie does not refer to herself in the third person IRL. That would be weird.

That's not what Mr. Wallie says.

Mr. Floral Arrangement is gentle. There is no chewing or biting involved.

MLM essential oil people on fb are literally the worst. There's one in a mom's group I'm in and I'm practically following her around saying "no, you're wrong, here's why" on everything.

How so? I use some essensial oils to help with headaches when I know it is stress/tension/ muscle related.

I'm a bazillion hours late with this, but both popular EO MLMs distribute a lot of unsafe advice. EOs are good, are powerful, and are effective when used properly. Buut, your average MLM gal is not a certified aromatherapist and just is repeating what she got told in an effort to sell more product. Kind of like if someone was MLM with painkillers. Not cool.
