This is so cool & crazy all at the same time, I too had a day of securing the site and making sure it was winterized, weid we haven't set the clocks back & I am getting ready for snow!!!
I still can't get over the snow warnings! It's going to be 80 degrees here today. That's unseasonably warm for us. I guess I do remember a few Halloweens in the midwest where it was flurrying. Enjoy the snow & stay warm!
Sorry VS, I worked retail in high school & college, no fun, but I think midnight is just plain rude, Old Navy was the 1st to do it here in my area, and I never shopped there since, nor at the Gap, I don't shop on Black Friday, I remember what it was like working that day. As for you boss, be yourself, I don't know too much about her but, she may be jealous, maybe she is older then you and sees how happy you are & your whole life is just starting, maybe she is bitter sshe takes jabs at you, maybe she is intimidated by you, the way you are on the boards so friendly, stand for what you believe in, maybe she is threatened by you, or maybe she is just plain mean, just because she is. What I am trying to say is that there maybe things in her life you may not know are going on, I am not saying she is right, by no means, but maybe if you can do it, just brush it off, she isn't worth your happiness or health, remember all you have & the feature you have planned, feel pity for her, it will help you past her bad attitude. Be strong, stay strong, you will come out ahead.
Great advice, LB. I tend to agree about the jealousy part. What else could it be? Really too bad that some people are so unhappy in their own lives that they feel the need to take it out on others just to boost themselves.
My stitches were removed from my shoulder today. I only had to have four "holes" for the doctor to do his surgery. I am SO far behind, but I am looking forward to catching up on all the posts. There's not a lot I can do physically, so this will keep me busy. I am just giddy with excitement about all the posts, the upcoming holidays, the new cookbook, the gift exchange and all the other exchanges, and, yes, my upcoming surgeries. My eye surgeries will be done on November 2 and the facelift on December 14. Oh, how vain am I? I will be returning to work on a limited basis. I cannot believe how it is getting harder to bounce back. I am sure it has NOTHING to do with my age!!! I had to take a three-hour nap the other day! I hope to finish all my catching up right after my eye surgeries. Note the use of the word "hope." And a HUGE congrats to Dawg for being MOM. It is a great honor, and the green banner is an added touch of recognition. My eyes are slowly closing, so I better get to bed. I really miss you guys.
Great to hear from you Seawaters! You have been missed! Hope your recovery picks up the pace, and you feel great again soon. Thinking of you, and sharing your excitement for the season! I went out & picked up some cards for the card exchange. Can't wait! Take good care of yourself!
Thanks for your advice on my boss. A little more info...she's only maybe 7 or 8 years max older than me, I don't think it's a jealousy issue but she does tend to be a little aloof as it is and I know she's had some marital problems lately. The thing that gets me is that anyone else can talk to her and she's all easygoing, but if I try, she doesn't even look at me while I'm talking and it seems like I'm bothering her. And I get a little self conscious and wonder what's wrong with me, why am I the only one she treats like that...but I will drive myself crazy worrying about it all the time. I think the only reason it's REALLY bothering me today is because the last hour+ of my shift today, I had to call nearly 40 people to come in for holiday interviews, and after just ONE phone call, I said something to one of the girls in the office who is a good friend of mine...I maybe said like 10 seconds worth of conversation and my boss yells from her office, "Hey maybe you should stop yackin' and get back to calling people!", and not in a joking way. It was just a real wtf moment, then the whole thing at the end of the shift when it seemed like I was bothering her...I dunno. Maybe I'm just weird.
There is nothing wrong with you, friend! Sounds like it's her & her own issues. Maybe she's just really unhappy and sees that you are in a great place in your life. Maybe she's jealous of your positive attitude. Who knows. Just be yourself, and keep doing what you're doing :grin: Hope the situation improves for you. If not, kill her with kindness & lots of smiles! Maybe even a wink or two, that'll drive her bonkers, lol.
