Feisty Friday (Fun) 10/22

cranegirl · Oct 22, 2010

Morning...OCD. Gotta start both. Last day of our awareness event to prevent violence against women on campus. It's been exhausting. I keep reminding myself that it's needed (very apparently) but, WOW are people tough on events like these. We've been trying to not make students feel defensive about the issue, but trying to be welcoming and open-- I still was surprised at the amount of negative reaction we got overall, though.
 
I thought this would be a topic everyone could agree with. One of our counseling interns made a comment that if we had a "don't hurt cute kittens day" it may be the same--defiance is a built in mechanism in humans.
 
I got a new phone. My age is showing...I had no idea how to answer it for the first 1/2 day. <img alt="wink.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//wink.gif">

Nice job on the campus event Craney. Those sorts of things are tough and the college mind is an interesting beast to say the least.
 
Fun today - it's Friday!
 
Not fun today - I have to give a formal reprimand to a student. Blech, she's a crier.

 That sounds like the potential for a lot of drama. 
 
Working from home today. DW left to go visit my brother's family down on the Miss Gulf Coast, so it's just me and my kiddos for the weekend. DD is spending the night with a friend, so DS and I will have a guys/Wii night. Then both have early soccer in the morning before we settle in for a full plate of college football and junk food. Oh yeah, I do it up right when DW is out of town. Tomorrow we'll do burgers or bratts and nachos for game food.
 
Not fun: I have two hours on conf calls starting now. 
 
Happy Birthday to Theia!!!!!

NCRG71 · Oct 22, 2010

Yum...I want nachos now...
 
Happy Friday!
 
And HBD Theia! <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/occasion13.gif" style="width:81px;height:26px;" title="">

Happy birthday, Theia! I hope you have a lovely day!
 
I just signed up for the Hypothermic Half in Halifax on Feb. 6. I'm gonna try to break the 2 hour mark on that sucker. I need someone to come on up and pace me. Any takers? : )
 
Mom's food drive is tomorrow so I'll be busy helping out with that. I'm excited, it's always an interesting day full of stuff that warms the heart.

Beaker · Oct 22, 2010

Morning folks! 
 
Happy Birthday Theia!!!
 
DH is gone for the weekend, going to the mountains with his brothers to winterize the house. So it's just me and the boy! Tired him out at the park yesterday but mother of the year that I am, didn't consider how much colder it would be there, it's right on the river. So we needed to do some extra running around to keep warm <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""> 
 
Ok, gotta get my rump back into the lab, too much to do for a Fri!! I have 5 vaca days I have to take before I head out on maternity leave and I am getting major resistance on scheduling them. So I think it might be an F you situation, and I will just take every Fri off till the baby comes!

Timr1 · Oct 22, 2010

Yeah, me too. And I make Nachos with lots of stuff on them. Not just some chips with a little cheese, we're talking guac, sour cream, salsa, jalepenos, tomatoes, meet (beef or chicken), onions. Yum!

Morning, folks! <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wave.gif" style="width:25px;height:15px;" title=""> I am supah fiesty today. And I have some cool boots and long socks on, which = fun + feisty. I had an awesome run this morning too. But it was 27 degrees. Oooof.
 
Craney - ignore the negative folks. You are doing a very good thing for people.
 
<h1>Theia - HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY!</h1>

Beaker · Oct 22, 2010

Um yeah, I might be calling it a day sooner rather than later! The elevator in my building is out of service. There is one bathroom in my building, 2 floors down from where i work. No way you can expect a pregnant lady to make that climb as often as I will need to. I think I should call it quits ...and go home and have some nachos!!!!

Auntie Moe · Oct 22, 2010

Happy Birthday Theia!
 
Good news, Litch.
 
Not fun: my friend at work is leaving. I'm happy for her but I'm really really sad for me. She's one of my favorite things about my job. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad2.gif" title="">
 
I'm in a weird mood. We're super busy at work, my nights have been taken up with rehearsals and my weekends have been packed with no end in sight. I'm exhausted and on the verge of tears (and have been for a couple of days.) I keep thinking I can't wait for today to be over, but the reality is, I have my costume parade tonight and won't even get home until probably 10 tonight and I have to meet someone at the theatre tomw at 11, then a kickoff meeting at noon for DX's new non-profit art organization (he's asked me to possibly be on the board), at some point I need to work on my own halloween costume and I have a party tomw night (that I might skip, but I tend to skip this guy's parties and I feel sorta bad.) And Sun is set building.

Ailarie · Oct 22, 2010

Greetings, all.
 
Yep.. I want some nachos too now, damnit. That would be a wonderful hobbit-style second breakfast. Minus the SC and onions, of course.
 
Speaking of breakfast, not that I intended it to be this way, but I need someone to take away my jar of peanut butter. Things were crazy here at 8am, so rather than trying to deal with yogurt and granola, I just opened the container and stuck a spoon in it. It's like lay's potato chips.. I can' t just eat one spoon. ><
 
Happy Brrf-day to our lovely Greek representative, Theia!!
 
Beaker - Heh.. I snickered over your idea of taking off every Friday. If you lose your vacation if you don't take it by the end of the year.. why not use it? Co-workers will get over it!
 
(okay.. the peanut butter jar is closed and the plastic spoon tossed in the trash. Grr.)

phdatc · Oct 22, 2010

Geez, now I WANT NACHOS!!!!! This is how I like mine too! (minus the sour cream)

morning. Yesterday I was annoyed with the world but DH and I got a babysitter last night and went out for fondue so that helped. Today I have 2 Dr's appts and having an early b-day lunch with a friend....then I intend to veg on the couch all afternoon since my maternity leave has been less than restful thus far.
Wow Moe- you are quite busy these days! Remember to take some time for you! Sorry to hear about your friend leaving...that's a bummer.
Tim- how are you feeling?
"Happy B-day Theia!"

kjboston · Oct 22, 2010

Oh yeah.....Lori-I'd say the bathroom situation definitely qualifies you to go home! You asked yesterday if we had a name...NO. One week unitl baby boy and we don't even have a top 3. Seriously.

wipaddler · Oct 22, 2010
