Do not engage this co-worker in social conversation again. Because she WILL try to sell you shakes, no matter what, until she wises up. You’re going to have to nod to her and say hi, but don’t speak to her except on work related subject. Though you might mention, once, that the shake made you feel sick, so you’re never drinking another one.

There’s another soft, large pillow, so if you want - pillowfight!
Are you having the depression treated? I hope that part gets better soon. As for the rest, reviews are one of those great ideas which tend to suck mightily - congratulations on passing this last one with flying colors!
(I once got a negative from an internal customer for “refusing to participate in a celebration”. My boss was stunned when I was able to tell him who that came from: the dude who’d refused to believe me when I said gastrenteritis and pizza do not mix; everybody else knew I hadn’t eaten solids for the last two weeks).
Point taken…I do recall my son at about 4yrs old dumping out his lego bin, every morning at about 0530 or so…it was a large bin and he took his time emptying it
:smack:
psst! – it was the high school science teachers who turn into unicorns if you feed them after midnight, so when they want to fight crime they meet at the corner diner at 12:01 am and they eat blueberry pancakes and then they all rush into the men’s room quick before they start to change and they become fluorescent unicorns with wings as a bonus and fly out this one little window in the rest room in proper spectrum order with CGI sparkly streaks behind them and off they go to fight the megalomaniacal doctor penn sylvanius and his twenty-first century style death ray and that’s just book one.
I had the same dream!
February sucks, and it cannot possibly end soon enough. In addition to the toe I broke on Friday, I got a screw in my tire last night and it was flat this morning. Just the thing to be dealing with with my foot in a boot. Of course my husband was out of town again and I was on my own with two kids and a flat. At least AAA hadn’t expired yet.
I didn’t see any kind of “bitch about taxes” thread, so I’ll put this here.
Fuck taxes.
I mean…I’m getting a decent refund, but I hate the process of doing them, especially through TurboTax with it’s MASSIVE “bait and switch” scheme.
I KNOW that I clicked on the “Free federal tax filing!” option, but obviously at some point in the process, I clicked on something, or attempted to claim some sort of deduction that made it switch to the $60 version. Does it tell me what this was? Nope. I don’t even have many deductions, just the standard deduction, and then student loan interest deduction, and a small health expenses deduction. I think it was the health expenses one, because I had thought that student loan interest deduction was part of all the “Free federal filing” packages out there.
At this point, even if I remove that small health expenses deduction, it won’t “flip over” back to the free edition. I’d have to remove all my info, log out, and then start back and just enter everything all over and see if I can keep it as the free edition. I decided that if I was going to enter everything over, I’d try H&R Block’s system, just to see if they could get me a bigger refund, or if they stayed “free” like they promised.
Well, H&R Block’s online system sucks ass. I entered the info from my first 1098-E just fine, but when I go to add a second it gives me this dumb error:
THERE ISN’T ANY SPACE TO PUT THE BORROWER’S INFO, YOU JACKASS!
When I entered the info for the first loan, that never came up. I had the exact same screen, put in the lender’s name and the interest paid, and then it sent me to a second screen where I entered the borrower’s (i.e., my) info. But no matter what I do, any time I try to enter info for a second lender, I get that error.
Looks like I’m paying TurboTax $60. :mad:
(Yeah yeah, I’m getting a decent refund, so I still come out ahead, but it’s just the principle of the thing.)
It had cats in it damn it. That’s all I remember.
In other news weather forecasting apparently has as much accuracy as flipping a coin and guessing:
I’d sort of like to know if we’re in for a blizzard or just a dusting. That would be nice.
(At my current job) people assume I am new because they have never seen me. I have been with this company 9 years. Pay attention dickwads!!!
Oohhh taxes. Ugh. I attempted to use the free H&R Block version. I made $100 more this year than last year, paid $100 more in taxes, bought a house… went from a refund last year to owing big time this year. The only thing different, really, was that TheKid turned 19. She’s in school FT, still dependent on me. The program also irked in that it provided no where to add the house buying costs. I logged out, cried for a little bit, will try TurboTax this weekend.
My car crapped out. This, less than a week after getting it out of the shop. Went to look at beaters last night - I can’t even afford a beater. Feh.

Ugh. The other day, a cashier was taking a while with the customer she was serving, so another cash opened up. I got there first, but a stupid idiot woman rushed in front of me and proceeded to buy about 5 or 6 lottery tickets. :mad: Damn fucking gamblers!
My wife and I are sick. First me, then her. We both try and sleep, but cough and hack and snore the whole time. Apparently my wife got sick of hearing me snoring so she started repeatedly poking me in the face so i’d wake up and stop snoring. Then she fell asleep and I couldnt sleep because SHE was snoring. I didnt know why she woke me up at the time (I assumed she was still angry at me for an arguement we had earlier) so I got my grumpy ass up 4 hours earlier and killed time on the computer till it was time to work.
Once you have to face that decision, you’d be surprised what you can handle. Seriously. Besides, they numb up the eye and you look up and away. I’ve heard numerous patients say the betadine cleansing solution was the worst part.
I’ve even had patients prefer the monthly injections over 4-times-a-day eyedrops as the alternative.
I use TaxACT (no I don’t know why the caps) It was under $20.00 for filing federal and state online, and I believe I could’ve gotten it done for free if I went for the non-efile option.
To the people who pick up the recycling:
When you are done, could you put the box and bags back where you found them rather than in the middle of the driveway?
Thanks everyone. Your support was a bright spot in a gloomy day.
So mini rant… Uhmm… Oh! I wish my pregnant friend would quit complaining about pregnancy related things. It is definitely TMI. I’m afraid to have babies now.
It took longer for them to numb him up than it did for the actual injection. He says that either it’s starting to work, or he’s getting used to the blind spot! I think the sclera is clearing up a bit; it was completely red the day after.
I didn’t want to make two trips into the house with groceries, so I carried them all in one go. Now my left hand has a big knot on the back and I can’t use it for anything that needs any strength - crap. That’ll learn me. 
Huh…I’ll look into it. TaxACT always seemed a little “ghetto” to me.
Like…TaxACT is to TurboTax what Liberty Tax is to H&R Block.
Well, you know what they say… snow is like sex. You never know how many inches you’re going to get or how long it will last.
