Good Morning Everyone. How are we today? I just hit 60 hours at work this week and I still have until 5:30 to go. I hope taxes don't eat the hell out of this check.

Good Morning Everyone. How are we today? I just hit 60 hours at work this week and I still have until 5:30 to go. I hope taxes don't eat the hell out of this check.
Hello folks, how's everyone doing? I'm racking my brain on what to make for my dinner party tonight! I know, this should have been decided before I invited people. I'm thinking chicken Alfredo calzone's with Caesar salad. Home made dressing and croûtons, bacon bits of course.
Any other ideas? It's a total of 8 (including me) people coming. Doesn't have be too fancy, we kind of take turns and once a month we all get together at someone's house and have dinner, drinks and play cards.
Adam, how's things going at work? I just re read and saw what was happening. So was this a close friend of yours? I'm so sorry for the family and friends in mourning.
Bella good luck with the dinner. I am not good at things like that. I don't do those things. Usually our get togethers are more snack stuff. Or delivery. I am not the best cook so I avoid it when I can.
I start the new job on the 29th. I can't wait! My boss now asked me what I was going to be making there. I didn't want to tell him but I did. Sort of as a slap in the face and it worked. I am leaving for less money. He commented on it. Like how dare I leave for less pay. I commented back everything the job entails is worth more then staying with him. I named my price and got it. Why wouldn't I be happy? I can't wait to start.
Congrats on the new job sunny! I know how much you hate your current boss. I'm happy for you! Celebration margarita's at your house? :D
I ended up making the calzones, they turned out awesome. I found a recipe for Pizza Hut dough. I don't know of it was exactly like pizza hut's dough, but it was goooood. :)
I went into the local grocery store yesterday, and was bombarded with laughing plastic red faced Santa's, jingle bells was being played over the speakers, and I am sure I had an epileptic seizure from all the flashing lights being displayed in the aisles. Wow, Christmas is here eh? I guess I better haul out the old decorations. At least they waited until AFTER Remembrance Day this year. :rolleyes:
Put it in the bank... they way things are you might need it in the near future. Better safe than sorry.Quote:

Smoothy thank you. I agree with you totally. But I am 200% sure I will never work for this boss again. Ever. I have never burned a bridge and have been asked to return to 2 places I have worked at. Usually when I make the choice to leave its for a good valid reason. I have several reasons to leave here. If anything here comes back to haunt me it will be on a more personal lever then professional.Quote:

Your on the same page as everyone here. Thank you. I don't give it another full year to be honest.Quote:

Well the one time I burned bridges... and it was a monumental fire.. (ever see a multipage letter of resignation? And I'm talking more than 3 pages, naming names and incidents?).. I tried to apply there again between jobs during a down economy... and the embers from a decade earlier were still hot... I know because I talked with a couple people I knew that still worked there after I applied and heard nothing back.Quote:

Now that is burning a bridge. What came of the letter did you ever hear? I am on good terms here. Its mostly personal I need to leave. Plus the business is going down. It was a struggle getting paid for a few weeks here. If I ever chose to go back to a job I left it would be banking. Banks were my thing. But I realized its not too much the bank but the numbers. I am good and them and like doing that kind of work. One reason I am so excited for the new place.Quote:

But they didn't know who it was that killed it at that point, just that apparently crap hit the fan after I walked out as a result. I was well known there, and for the most part well liked. Won't go into details (not on the internet)... so lets say... my leaving when I did, caused them a big hardship... (I know this from friends who stayed behind).
Good morning!
Been sick all week. What's up with that? Gah make it go away.
Yeah, that definitely sucks... hope you get over it soon.
Morning Sunny! Get well soon! :)
Rant of today: Another newbie sending a reddie to me... (and I don't think the reason was valid, nor the answer that the latter proposed). Fortunately, I got 4 more greenies today too :p
Oh those newbies what do they know. Good job on the greenies. If they knew you like we do it never would have happened. How dare they! ;)
I don't know if I have the energy today to look in the threads. So sad.
I got a reddie he other day for telling an OP if they had un protected sex, then she could be pregnant. Jeesh!
Hope you feel better soon Sunny! I'm spending the day in bed today. Good day for it, it's cold and rainy today. I'm not feeling so well either. I think I have another sinus infection.
Ah to funny, to funny. Guess you should have said to run out and have a good time. Protection? Don't be silly! What's wrong with people.
The weather is the same way here. I have my heat here at the store on 80 and I have an electric heater on at my feet. I think I am still cold.
Guess what I have to do now if I want to be near the bunny we got? I am so allergic to her I had to use my hubby's inhaler the other night. It was that bad! I had an appointment yesterday for my migraines and told the doctor so he wrote me a prescription for my own inhaler. Most people would think get rid of the rabbit. I say puff puff, come cuddle little bunny! Lol My cats don't bother me as much as the rabbit. I get near the rabbit and bang, I am gasping for every breath I take. Bronchial spasms, I think that's what he called it.
Aww! A bunny!
I hope it isn't the main cause of your sickness Sunny :(
Duh... Aren't that what morning after pills and abortion clinics are intended for? Shirking any form of responsible behavior in the first place?Quote:

Hi Everyone. I've been busy lately on the Accounting boards. Such fun... I've gotten a couple of reddies because I wouldn't do their homework. One actually wrote "This is not telling me the answer." I answered "Of course it isn't" - and then she got a little lecture on why I wouldn't do her homework. Even funnier, she had posted at least 6 questions. CurlyBen merged them all, and her thread became a complete mess. I had to laugh. She got no help at all. Anyway, Unky - I'll go check out your reddie since you balanced one for me. :)
Sunny - I'm not surprised you got sick. There was a lot of stress and emotional upheaval for you in the last week or so between getting the new job and telling your old boss. Hope you feel better soon.
I don't even want to think about the pregnancy questions. I just don't understand these people. Do they think or plan ahead at all?!
Haha good one smoothy! Lets encourage that. But only if your 16. Maybe 18. He will love you and the baby. He will stand by you and you will have a house with a white picket fence.Quote:

I don't want to do that as a new employee. I just talked with our lawyer this morning about getting the darn closing done for this house. Driving me nuts!Quote:

Woohoo! Exams ended today! :p
Yay Unky! How do you think you did?
I ventured out on those accounting threads when I first started, but it wasn't my cup of tea!
Hope your feeling better today Sunny.
Well, I hope I'll get good marks. I realised I left mistakes here and there and I really hope that they will be small enough. But hey, what is done is done, there's no much use lamenting on this now. Time to look forward and avoid such mistakes in the future! :)
Exactly... thats all the rest of us can do as well. The secret to success is learning from your mistakes and not repeat them.Quote:

Either that, or I'm too tired to understand what you meant XD
Yeah... it was meant to balance the incorrectly given reddie.Quote:

Couldn't say anything witty because I've never taken a statistics course. Wasn't part of the Electronic Engineering program I took.
It's okay :)
Most of them don't want to hear the answer they should hear and they are not happy with that and don't face it... -.-
And that attitude is what will hold them back in the future... you have to be able to see and accept as well as acknowledge when you are wrong (everyone is sometimes). At least in cases where there actually is a clear right and wrong answer.Quote:

That's where the phrase "beating a dead horse" comes from.
Thanks smoothy.
No really I am 37. In reality wrong 80% of the time but love to put up a good fight. I am quite stubborn. It was born in me. The whole family is like that. Not good. I am my own worse enemy most days.
Then learn to tame yourself Sunny ;)
Hello :)
Sarah! Long time no see! :)
I know, but I have been coming in and out once in awhile.Quote:
