Wow....individually people can be sooo great. But, also gross and rude. I have to wonder, if we have people like this among us, then how did we manage to discover fire?

All I can say is: Ew. We have a lady who continually misses the seat and drops some sort of powder all over the floor. There are also a few who don't wash their hands. I toyed with the idea of putting up a sign, but my boss said HR would frown on it. So, people are gross, suck and have no manners and we have to be PC about it. Damn.

I know... Now our FedEx scale is missing. These are people who have families, homes, etc...I'm the poorest one here and I don't steal. What gives with people?

It's like saying, "Damn...I hate being sooo pretty. The boys just won't leave me alone." :frown:

Who? Who? Someone please PM me...

I wish I could rant & then boast about being a size 6...

LOL LOL LOL I actually am sitting here laughing at that thought. OMG...that would be sooo great. (Maybe the last day here, before I quit!) Actually...the place is great. The boss is the largest woman I've ever seen, and has no qualms about eating as much as she wants. She keeps saying, "I need to get back on my diet." As she's stuffing her face with the 3rd doughnut that I've seen her eat. Lord knows how much she eats in private. I can't say anything to her, because I get the excuses..."Oh, I know...I'm just waiting until the food is gone in my house....I'm just waiting until company leaves...I'm just waiting...and waiting...and waiting." I've been there, and I know how it is. I feel bad for her. She gets out of breath walking from her desk to mine - just to get another doughnut. I want to scream: GET THE LAPBAND. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

:frown: I like the ladies room idea! But, unfortunately, higher powers than me want them right where they are. At least they are off to the side, so if I keep my back turned and type at a weird angle, with one eye closed then I don't see them. I go over and close the box, though, because I can smell them. The last time (this is a weekly thing) I almost caved. Late in the day, there were still some left and I picked up the box. On the bottom it was wet and soggy and slimy from the grease that had been sitting there. Ugg. No thank you! I just keep that in mind when I start to cave.

Thank you! I just bought clippers and had the confidence that I could do it. :frown: When the bleeding didn't stop I called the vet and she said put flour or cornstarch on it...never had heard of that either, but it did the trick. I wrapped her up and she was fine after that. It just freaked me out at first. Now...I'm biting my nails to the quick because there are doughnuts here!!! I hate that they bring them in...and put them on MY desk. Why, why, why???? I will not eat one, though. Instead, I'll keep one at my desk and throw it at the person who brought them in as he walks by. A powdered one....

Posting to say I suck! I tried trimming my labs nails by myself. I decided I was too cheap to fork over $14 for the two dogs to get their nails done at the vet...I can do it, I said - first time for everything, right? :embaressed_smile: there is blood on floor now and a bandage around her foot, and I feel sooo guilty. Where's that Bailey's Irish Cream I stashed...? I am feeling so bad.

I've never been to In and Out...looks like that's a good thing. I do like Sonic though. But, I pass it over for Jack in the Box. I LOVE their Grilled Chix Alcapulco salad. Yummy.

Well..you do need your protein. And that's a GREAT way to get it. I'm proud of you! Keep on going...I'm SURE you'll be fine.

Ah, c'mon you guys...If I weren't working on my 3rd Big Mac right now, then I'd be hungry reading this thread....

I have a size 24 pair of jeans that fall off now. I put them in the closet to remind me and put them on every now and then. They used to be tight. I can't believe it.

I'm posting to say I hate my BF's cats. They attack my daughter, me and my dogs - mostly my dogs and not me anymore - just the ONCE, which was enough! Now, they're attacking the new living room furniture. I want them either A) Gone, or :cursing: Declawed. He found something online name SoftPaws...anyone heard of them? They're like little plastic socks you glue on to your cat. They're kinda mean cats and I can't see getting that done w/out anethesia....But, it'll be fun to watch. Maybe by the end of it, he'll be right there with me with my option A. And, I'm an animal lover, so for me to hate an animal means they are EVIL.

I probably coulda....and I probably could now after the band. I'd be sick as heck, but I think I could do it. I just don't want to. That's what I don't get. What do these people WANT? The ice cream? or to be thin? Why did they even get surgery? Really? My shrink asked me if I knew and understood what was coming. I nodded, YEAH, YEAH, I GET IT - Now give me my band. But, despite blowing him off: -I did KNOW what I was getting into. -I did follow the post-op instructions. -I do "listen" to my band - sometimes I argue, but a good PB stops me in my tracks... 21? Even though I know that gluttony is in me, it's shameful and appalling. And, HELLO!!!! I'd never admit that in public! Geesh...some people have no pride.

...because I finally broke my plateau!!! Now I get to "bounce" the next set of 5 pounds. And ...because I have a cruise coming up and I want to be smoking hot.

:smile2: Ahhh, yes...that crap was a bunch of drama I wouldn't want to relive. 1 - He's not really the "boss". He's still not! All their talk and he's still not a super yet. He's just the lead because he's been there the longest. 2 - We weren't in the same dept when we were dating. But, because both our depts worked closely with each other, we felt disclosure was necessary. We told his boss (been w/the company 40 years and has good history there). She said, "No problem. If someone doesn't like it they'll have to go through me." We felt safe. 3- The company merged our departments five months later so that he was the lead of me. (But, not the boss of me!!!) 4 - We weren't all over each other, but we did start taking our lunch separate from the group because we wanted to be alone. I think that pissed some girls who have no life off. 5 - People started to complain - one whole year later, and soon HR was involved. Our HR rep said that one of us had to find another job because there was conflict in the department with our dating. 6 - At a meeting w/HR with both of us, we were asked which one of us was looking, because the company didn't want to lose boht of us. I said that was none of the company's business, but it was me that was looking. She told me I had 90 days... I said, "or else, what?" She just said, "or we'll have to let you go." I said, "On what grounds? He's not a supervisor, and there is no company policy." She just shrugged!!! I was pissed. When we mentioned that we had told his boss in the very beginning she said, "But she didn't tell ME." But - I'm online a lot and even though I get my job done (and better than 1/2 the others in that department I might add) I'm sure they would FIND some reason to fire me if they're looking. So, I looked, and found something within company. And the something is much better - it's just fricken far away! Thank you to all who've given advice. I sent off an email for a meeting request and will sit down face to face when she gets back. She is a great person, and I know it'll be tough for them to find someone - again - to fill this position, she won't try to hold me back. Other bosses in the company have denied people. (They have an option on their end that asks if they agree or disagree with this person moving on. I've heard a couple of people being denied because they're good.) Not to brag, but I am good. I take pride in my work and hate being idle. This new position is very idle, so I take care of a lot of things no one wants to, and they like that. Previous employees with my job enjoy sitting around doing nothing...I hate it.

History: I work for a large company...was dating coworker...he was promoted...I was asked to find another position or be fired...found a job in a different location/division. Now, I'm trying to get a job back at the other location, in a different dept. It's closer to home and gas prices are killing me now. (Job is now taking 1/4 tank each day, plus toll road costs. Car pooling is not an option right now - none available.) I've applied online to one job - and when you do that, an email copy goes to the boss - was told I had the job, in the bag, etc...then someone else was hired. The manager there is who hired me into the company way back when, so know him pretty well. I called him when I saw the job posting and he said, Oh, yes - I will hire you in a heartbeat. Go ahead and apply online -you've got it. Then he hired someone else the very next day. The only reason I was/am hesitant to apply online and send the notification to my boss is because 1) she was on maternity leave at the time, had just had her baby and her parents were visiting. They both got deathly ill and ended up in Hospice (they are quite a bit older than she is) and was on "death watch". I didn't want to upset her. She got the notification and emailed me from her Blackberry: Are you unhappy? I replied no, it was an opportunity to work closer to home, and turns out I'm staying put. She came back to work after maternity leave was over, and a week later her mother died. She's currently out on vacation/leave until the middle of the month. There are two more jobs that are available at the other location, but I don't want keep applying and notifying my boss - while she's out grieving. But. I'm doing what's best for me and my family and saving $500/month would be a big help. I'm just torn - I don't want to be a jerk to her (she's really great) but I feel that I need to try. The bummer would be if I keep applying and don't get any of these jobs. I lost out the other one, I found out, to someone who had more pull in the company and had been here for 10 years. She'll be swamped when she gets back and I'm scared she'll push all the upset and stress at me. (Like when my daughter comes in asking for money after I've mowed the lawn - done the dishes - folded laundry and am now cleaning the dogs... :redface: you know?) So...my dilemma is this: What do I tell my boss? How do I approach this? I know I want to wait until she's back and talk to her face to face, but she's under so much stress. What should I say to her, and should I send an email right now, following my submission?

Doh! How could I forget the basics??? Thanks SnT! :biggrin:

YES. I have no idea if it's pyschological or something real, but yeah! I was recently under a bunch of stress and was so tight I couldn't get anything down....well, now I'm not as stressed (last couple of weeks) and am thinking of getting a fill. I haven't lost weight, but I can eat now. I'm worried stress will come back - but I think on those days I'll stick w/my protein shakes. :cool:

Okay - I've switched. I always agreed that going against the post-op diet was a big deal, but thought that this particular case was just a bit "undone". But, you know - that was an a$$y response to Susan and now I'm kinda pissed. $10 says that one won't lose much more.

Sooo....can someone explain the NICE way to say: Don't be an f'ing idiot? Cause I missed that day when it was covered in charm school.

Okay...how come I can see other picture threads, but not this one? :thumbup: I want to see rocking hot BBK, too!!!

Salsa - I agree....LJM's post wasn't harsh at all. That's why I didn't get the tears. I get tired of the validation stuff, too. I just think in *this* case there are some deeper issues that the band is not going to fix - whether or not it slips before she can actually reap benefits from it or not! Either that, or I've been completely conned. :thumbup: Wouldn't be the first time.
