Sometimes you just need to scream!!!

My fiancé failed to let me know yesterday that the kitty had knocked over a picture frame in the bedroom and broken the glass on its front until AFTER I got a very small shard of glass stuck in my foot. It's still there.

 

[leggo PE]

He swore he swept up all the broken glass, but I beg to differ. And this is a very tiny piece of glass, in a really awkward place for me to get out. His services may be enlisted.

Like the back of a Volkswagon?

Like the outer side of the sole of my foot. I'm not a terribly flexible person to begin with!

Well smack my ass and call me Nancy!  The new manager will be starting on 12/18.  Counting down the days!

:bananalama:

Please, Lord, take pity on me.  Please allow this to be my last day onsite as the Maintenance Manager.  Allow the new permanent sucker manager to arrive Monday morning safely, on time (preferably early), and ready to soak up more wet sh*t than the Bounty paper towels shown on TV commercials.  Have mercy on him, too, as he knows not what he has done... but only after he comes onsite, because i don't want him to get wise before he's here.  Thanks.  Amen

One more day... one more day... one more day...  :holyness:

New guy is here and I am OUT of the deep fryer.  HFS!

I hope there's a sawzall with a pineapple on the end of it waiting in Hell for the asshole of whoever programmed MS Word's list/autoheading features.

Ditto.

Well today is off to a good start - stepped on a nice shark's-tooth shaped piece of glass (point side up) this morning!  Remnant's of one of Mrs. Supe's decorations that vibrated off the shelf from repeated cabinet door slammings (guess who was tasked with fishing the other broken bits out of the bottom of the toilet.)

Sorry to hear it Supe.  A cut foot isn't going to help racing this weekend.

 

[Supe]

Thankfully I didn't put all my weight down before I felt it.  It was stuck in this sort of shaggy looking rug by the back door that's supposed to help dry the dogs' feet, so it somehow turned on edge instead of flat and was propped up by one of the carpet "fibers".

Today I've been really preoccupied with what I need to do to move ahead in my office/career, so of course today coworkers are asking me WHERE ARE THE BABIES?  I've been married for two months, can we chill a bit with the baby questions?

You should take to berating your male co-workers about having more children, and/or asking them "when they're due."  If you get reported to HR, just say "Oh, I thought it was accepted practice since I have been facing such harassment."

Just wait, it only gets better.  Just a couple days ago one of my coworkers said, "It makes me so sad that you're not having kids." 

 

[vee043324]

^^^ that's fucking ridiculous.

OMG!!! That's ridiculous. Why is it even any of their business?!

How rude. It's one thing to hear it from my mom, I don't mind. But that commentary really has no place in the office. Actually, it has no place in the public space at all. Unless you are really close to someone, it's actually pretty cruel to assume that everyone CAN have kids. Fertility is not guaranteed, plus it's pretty crude to make assumptions about people's private family matters.

Yeah if it's a family member or close friend, that's one thing.  But it's so jarring and rude to hear it from anyone else.  I have some friends who are going through a divorce because ultimately, one person wanted kids but the other didn't. They were still newlyweds, and were always getting "Where are the babies?!" comments on Facebook. I have another friend who has fertility issues.  I would never ask anyone about their plans for a family.  None of my business.
