It's crazy that shit like this is actually considered "music". But yet I try to subject my daughter to The Beatles, Stones, Elvis and she say's that's garbage. At least she doesn't listen to the Beiber anymore... now if I could just get rid of 1D.
"You're insecure. Don't know what for. You're turning heads when you walk through the do-oh-oor..."
Mornin everybody! I think I'm getting the shingles. Either that, or my right kidney is shutting down. They both start with the exact same back pain, so it's hard to tell lol. (Yes, I'm laughing. It's either laugh, or curl up and cry like a little bitch. So I laugh!) If you have never had the shingles, I can't even describe the pain to you. I had a filling with NO novacane once. I've busted my head open a few times. My auto immune diseases were misdiagnosed for a year and a half, which left me crippled and in severe pain. NONE of that comes close to shingles.
Im highly allergic to the medicine they give to stop shingles. Sooooo I'm a bit worried. Which, btw, makes shingles WORSE. That's how I get it in the first place: stress.
My husband was so sick Saturday, I almost took him to the ER. My mom was so sick yesterday, I almost took her to the ER. My brother called from Hawaii yesterday to lay a bunch of family thanksgiving stupidity on me. Guilt trips, drama, decisions that had to be made yesterday, etc. So hubby took me out for dinner, and on the way home some dude tried to run us off the road for no apparent reason. Too much stress in too short of time = me quite possibly getting shingles, which will throw me into a flare up, which will negate the work the chemo has done...you get the idea lol.
Get it out of your system here. That's what we're here for!
Sounds like everyone needs a "stay at home and sit around the TV with a bowl a chicken noodle soup day". On a serious note, I hope everyone kicks the sickness and gets better soon.
Thanks :) Talked to my mom, and she's a lot better today. Hubby went to work, so I assume he's better lol. Now I just need to calm the hell down and keep myself from getting the shingles!
Buenos Dias Amigo's and amiga. It has come to my attention that I am severly outta shape. I'm 6'3" and teeter between 300-310 lbs played football throughout school, worked out etc. up until 10 years ago. So the Mrs. and I went to our 2nd kettlebell training/bootcamp session and I can barely move... so I got that going for me, which is nice. Should make for a great day.

But you look so spry and chipper in your pic!
Good luck, man. Taking off weight is a hard thing to achieve. I've experienced both success and failure at it, and I know how annoying and frustrating it can be.
So two days ago, the VP of manufacturing spoke pretty strongly to me in a meeting. Cut me off and barked an order at me, sort of chopping me down in front of the whole group. It was to the point that my coworkers were squirming uncomfortably just watching. That or were just glad it wasn't them.
It didn't sit well with me. I was tossing and turning that night.
So the next morning, I went to his office, closed the door, and told him how I felt about how he treated me in that meeting. Lo and behold, he apologized! He also thanked me for talking to him about it, and said, "I hope you didn't lose any sleep over that." (Little does he know...)
Today, I notice that I am still employed. I'm getting the man the reports he wanted, and he now knows I'm not a doormat. Works for me.
That's my boss's boss's boss, actually.
Anyway, this is something I've learned, watching my other coworkers. People who never push back, never say no, never speak up for themselves... People who live their lives that way just get stepped on all the time. And after it happens a few times, it becomes a habit for the person doing the stepping. "This is somebody I can easily push around," the stepper thinks to himself. And you have to nip that in the bud, too. Even though its not easy. Because once they start doing it, sometimes others join in with them. And then it becomes very difficult to turn that around.

Oh well. Enough philosophizing. Back to work!
Good for you man. You handled it like a professional and earned respect, a lot of people in that position would've gone all out crazy mad. I've been in that position too and it reminds me of when your parent used to scold you in front of your friends. It's extremely uncomfortable.

I've kind of made a name for myself here at the company for pushing back. I have been reprimanded on at least three different occasions for acts of reciprocity...usually e-mails that I send to the offender and copy the entire office on (I like to have an audience).The upside to this is that nobody really bothers me at work anymore, but I kind of have a reputation as a dick, which is probably appropriate. I'm glad things worked out for you and you're right about people who get stepped on...let em do it once and it will become a habit.
Used to work on the floor and had a supervisor accuse me, in front of everyone of doing something wrong.
Bear in mind, if I do something wrong I'll tell you usually before you're aware of it ( life is much easier when you live this way), but if I didn't do it, you'd better take a step back. I "explained" his error and never had a problem from him since. Some people seem to have a need to know where the line is.
Now I work in Quality and my boss's boss seems to not have a very fond opinion of him, I think it's why I have a job here.
@ Outcast hopefully the workouts make you feel BETTER eventually!
@ Vix good for you. All of the "yes men" where hubby works have been stagnant and gained no promotions. Hubby speaks his mind (politely lol), and they not only promote him, they keep creating new postitions for him. :)
My back hurts less today. So either it was just a weird back injury, or the shingles will start popping up soon lol
It's may be called the Goodnight Thread but the most common salutation seems to be "good morning." I blame Knight for the misnomer and demand a more appropriate thread title.

Good morning all.

"Don't need makeup. To cover up. Being the way that you are is en-uh-uh-ough..."
You're on a roll today Vix. Lol
Get better Kitty.
Shingles sucks. I had them on my back a year ago.
"Everyone else in the room can see it. Everyone else but you-oo..."
Okay I'm done now! I promise.
Kit - sorry to hear about you not doing so great right now. I hope you figure out what is going on soon.
Get better Kit!
A buddy of mine linked that wacky ass fucked up song on Facebook. I just thank God my daughter hasn't found it!

And you just reminded me of why I need to be a little easier on my kids in front of their friends.
Good morning all! You should never let someone push you around. Not anyone, no matter who they are.

Well shit fire and fuck me running.
I realized yesterday that my new job pays me $5K more than I thought it did...makes me happy.
Dude that's awesome.
You could run a 5K to celebrate your $5K!
Yay Free!! But will it keep you from playing Halo with me?? Missed you and Quad Tuesday night. It's not the same without you guys :(

Oh, and good morning.
