Well damn .... I'm in phase of just not wanting to deal with anyone . Specifically meaning : massage guys who ask more than two questions ( I got 6-7 inquiries and decided to see no one haha ).
Why don't they understand that we HATE slow bookers.
HATE HATE HATE ( just in case any of you are reading this lol ).
To the guy who asked if I did 30 minutes after getting an $80 quote for an hour ( my normal persona not the naughty one ) ..... I am grossed out by YOU the most you cheap bastard. Welcome to the ignore list ( permanent haha, I never unblock ).

Then on the personal dating front ...... same ..... haha! Too much chit chat and not enough smooth arranging in person time.
I'm sure I'll get horny and invite someone for a beverage at some point later in the week but for now it's just me, some snacks, the desert, and the dog !

I guess I'm stressed the fuck out over here at my new place. I take a stress relief bath three times a day. I feel guilty I'm wasting that much water, but holy hell...it's the only thing that seems to be of ultimate comfort. I meditate daily, eat right, hydrate, and read uplifting things however the bath is #1.

I had to call the Governor's office today over the state Transportation Authority. I got a bunch of toll violations last fall when I switched bank accounts and my EzPass didn't auto refill. So I got ~12 citations in the mail for 1-3 dollars each. Fine. Not disputing that I owe these. The toll violations were all from October - November 2018, I forget when I got their mail but I called right away to settle my account. It was 25 dollars. Ok. Great. Paid and done. I paid over the phone and they didn't email me a receipt or anything and I didn't really care because I thought an organization that got their money would quit bothering me. SO WRONG. A few weeks later they sent a warning letter about tolls due and fines. Ignored it honestly, because I thought eventually they would reconcile their own dumb systems! Kept getting their dumb mail and called. Apparently I had to prove that I already paid them. I had to FAX (they don't take email) a screenshot of my cell phone call history w/ their number in my history from December 4 and my credit card statement w/ their charge hitting my card on December 6. And I wrote a pretty cranky note that I never expected to be so harassed over a PAID BILL. They sent another letter that they need more proof of payment. So I called, getting really pissed off because they are only open during business hours and some of us have our own work to be doing. They insisted I still owed tolls and fines so I insisted on the violation dates. The woman I'm speaking with says I have an unpaid toll from October 15. Ok. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is October 15 before or after December 4? Either on purpose or by mistake whoever I spoke with didn't charge me correctly when I called December 4. I finally complained to my local house rep's office, who said they can only help with federal agencies but to call the state Governor's office. So I did that. I called the Governor's office over three dollars (when I called December 4, I should have been charged 28 dollars instead of 25).

I have been a new manager for exactly a month today, and you guys, it is terrible. I had a group managers meeting this morning where our (low level managers, myself and two colleagues) boss brought up negative feedback about two employees (our staff), and I had to state my agreement about the two. One of their supervisors already agrees there are issues and is going to HR. Ok. Fine. The other one got so mad at me and started yelling. Like what do you want from me? Your employee is slow as hell. I am not surprised his projects are complaining. And then I have a bunch of issues with my own staff already, the two newest one weren't charging time appropriately, and one looked bored during our 1:1 which annoyed me, and the third did something today both me and my boss explicitly said not to. I feel like this should be obvious but if your boss explicitly says not to do something, DON'T DO IT. Is this hard??

I have to agree. If you have to resort to this, you have a weak link which needs to be addressed… either find a way to correct their deficiency, or part ways. Making a martyr of yourself to cover someone else’s ass can only bite you in yours at the end of it all. It may seem cold and disconnected, but I’m at work to do a job - my job - to provide me with the things I need in life. I would expect coworkers to have the same incentives. Making friends is no priority compared to that.

I'm sorry too but the situation ACB described happens all the time and it's partly why certain staff, women especially, get dumped with all kinds of work all the time. It's weighs you down and keeps you from getting to higher level work that could get you noticed or promoted faster. Politics can make this difficult sometimes but typically if you notice an issue w/ one person so are others. Part of the reason there was yelling yesterday was because my colleague was so pissed I didn't bring this up with her earlier.

It feels weird trying to talk to one of my good friends nowadays. She's pregnant, (which I still secretly maintain was a bad choice with bad timing), but I feel like I'm always supposed to be like "How are you!? How's the baby? Tell me everything about your appointments and plans and blah blah blah." But I honestly don't really care. I've never cared about babies. But then on the other hand, she'll do the same thing back where I can tell that she feels the need to ask about how things are going with me when she doesn't really care.

I'm not even mad about it. It's like, it's hard for her to care about my drama when she has a pregnancy to worry about, and I have a hard time caring about her pregnancy when I feel like my entire life is up in flames. We both just have our own shit to worry about it, in completely unrelated fields, so it's hard to connect. It's just kinda sad.

Yes, and often they feel obliged to remind you that they’re a parent (or parent-to-be) with every opportunity. My older sister is pregnant with her third, and she’s apt to go on that tangent. And parents at the equestrian center. “So, when are you going to have children of your own?”, they ask me, then impart on me their little pearls of wisdom as if I’d asked for them.

Requiem For a Dream is such a depressing movie OMG I had only seen the ending when I was younger I didn't realize the mom had started out so nice and normal.

I grew up in a Mennonite home, but I went to a secular public school and had the opportunity to hang out with 'English' friends on occasion, and even participate in sports at my school (I played volleyball and field hockey). I watched that movie when I still pretty impressionable at a sleepover with a couple of said 'English' friends, and it really made me wonder if that was the reality of the world they lived in, and I was pretty determined to never leave the Mennonite life after seeing that movie... for a little while, anyhow.

It's really depressing, because it's a tragic story for all the protagonists. Jared Leto and Jennifer Connelly's characters, you don't really ever get the impression they were bad people, just that they were caught up in something which had gotten out of their control. I think the scene where she's getting ready to go to that party and finds out he's not coming back soon, and she proceeds at normal, but has a moment she can't contain her remorse... they really worked hard to humanize the characters and make them more understandable to the audience just to tear them down and make their stories that much more tragic.

Sometimes the stars align themselves the right way in unexpected ways. Got into an argument with a stable hand because I needed her to do something, and she refused, thinking that I didn't have any authority over her. Little did she know, I could've fired her on the spot if I'd wanted to. Instead, I went to the barn manager, told her she'd better call that stable hand in for a little "come to Jesus" meeting, and we handled it that way. Made sure everything was crystal clear to her.

At the end of it, the barn manager asked me if I was going to have her fired, so I told her, "No, I'm not that spiteful". She seemed relieved, but she didn't realize that it doesn't mean that I'm not spiteful at all.

As I mentioned in another thread, there's a horse being boarded here which is at a point of near death - we expect it any day now. And if that horse dies in the stall, we have no way to lift or carry the horse out of there, so I'll be expected to fire up the chainsaw and the horse will be removed piece by piece. And guess who just pretty much volunteered herself to be my little helper with that venture?

So yesterday I get home. I take off my work clothes and change into shorts and a tee. Usually my cat is trying to trip me or jump on me looking for some love and she's no where to be seen. I look all over I can't find her. I peek outside and I see her outside playing by my car. In a panic I fly outside to get her not caring what I look like. The little minx must have snuck passed me when I open my door. She's an indoor cat and everyone around here has these big killer dogs ready to turn her into cat nuggets.

I don't know how I've managed to accumulate so many clothes and so much makeup. It becomes a nightmare when moving places.

There has to be a scientific formula for it, some way, somehow. I'm pretty sure there's a solid ratio like, maybe for every three pieces of clothing you buy, you forget about one you had previously. Especially when it comes to stuff you don't wear regularly. And it's not just clothes. I cleaned and reorganized my toolboxes at work the other day (I have a bright pink toolbox and a bright yellow service cart, because that place benefits from the splash of color and I still like being 'girly', even if the nature of my job is contrary to it), and I found some $17 in loose change I'd just taken out of my pockets, stuck into various drawers in my toolboxes, and just let accumulate. I also found a tool I thought I'd lost, so that's an added plus.

I like saving my energy for willing buyers, not crowd just wasting our time, looking and not spending anything besides on their own drinks. I'm recouping from last night, from dealing with so many time wasters. I made something, however, it wasn't worth what I put up with Or into the night and my feet hurting a lot from walking through that crowd of mostly time wasters. Why deal with that when you don't have to? I don't like feeling burn outed with less money.

The Irish woman is losing her shit. She’s already upset with the “soddin’ fuckery” as she calls it, but we walked through one of the events downtown, someone said, “where’s your green at?” and then pinched her. Talk about a woman scorned. I feel like there’s a good chance she broke his nose. We had to get her out of there, because if she ended up being convicted, she’d be deported.

You'll get tired of picking up the pieces eventually. I know this all too well, both from those I've worked with at my previous club, and friends/acquaintances from outside the club (especially the nine-years-and-counting 'side chick'). Of course, it's natural that you want to be the 'good person' in all of it, but there comes a point where it burns you out and you have to step back and accept that things are out of your hands and you shouldn't drag yourself down for the sake of something which is futile. People need to live and learn.

I think about the three 'refugees' I've taken in (and two who live with me still), and I don't know if I'm going to be willing to take others in after they go their way. Don't get me wrong.. they're sweethearts and I care about them immensely, but it's a huge emotional burden to do something like that, and I don't think I can keep it up perpetually.

I think I'm probably the most boring person today. I don't drink so I'm looking forward to corned beef and cabbage that I have cooking in my crockpot and a mint shake. My daughter and I are dressed in St. Patty's day apparel though.

My hips feel loose and wobbly and I'm in a fantastic mood.
