While he was making overtime I was burning sick days to even out my paycheck b/c I couldn't get to work safely (Monday and Tuesday) and then spend the rest of the week was scrambling to get enough work in and/or find enough work to do to make it worth while, then we left early on Friday...
No worries, I was also unable to get to work that Monday and Tuesday, and now I'm busting ass now to make up that time.
He got scheduled to work and his bosses were not happy when he told them he'd be coming in late. WTF?! So now we're attempting move it up earlier in the day, if all parties are able. We're not sure yet.
It's just really pathetic that work is supposed to take precedent over the rest of your life.
The girlfriend has a specific type of diamond she wants for an engagement ring.
Sadly for me, it's four times more expensive than I had hoped to spend.
Let me start out by saying from personal experience..... I wanted a certain type of ring. And it was more more than he wanted to spend but I got it. Then he had to bend and over extend himself on a honeymoon trip that nearly broke him (we are talking like 10k for a week!!) and then he had to bend and do the 'let's try for a baby thing' and then we got divorced. Now he has to bend and overextend himself for child support. DO YOU SEE A PATTERN HERE? At the time, i didn't realize I was being selfish and he was just trying to please me and give me what I wanted.
If I could do it all over again, and maybe one day i will (doubtful but who knows) I would love the idea of the guy coming to terms with the fact HE wanted to get married. And HE would take it upon himself to go ring shopping and be like "THIS IS HER!" when he saw the ring he wanted to give me. I think it should be a surprise, it makes it so romantic. All the thought and effort HE puts into it, not me.
Also, after my divorce (4 years now) I heard a lady talking about her ring that cost $15k. It was huge. What she said bothered me. "I HAD to have a big rock, that way if we ever get divorced, I can sell it and support myself." I just was shocked someone was talking about marriage and maybe a divorce in the same sentence.
Moral of the story... WOMEN GET CRAZY BOUT THOSE RINGS YALL. But do what feels right. If you love her enough to go broke and eat sandwichs for months, then do it. If you feel uncomfortable, be more reasonable with what you purchase. If she doesn't love ANY ring you're going to give your last name to her with, then she is mostly in it for the ring/marriage/future babies and not necessarily into you. THINK ABOUT IT.

There's some wiggle room you can get on a lot of stuff. My dad was a jeweler for like 40 years, PM me if you want advice or have questions. I can call him.
And, I'm a big fan of the upgrade diamond after some anniversaries.

After talking with a co-worker about her upgrades it made me realize that I am way too sentimental to ever want an upgrade for myself, if we somehow become millionaires. I love looking at my ring and knowing that this is exactly the one that he picked out for me.
Get some earrings or something if you want to continue blinging your lady out.

And to touch on what nerdbyrd said, I can't imagine going ring shopping with your (future?) fiance. I know you have to wear the ring forever (if you're lucky), but the whole process just seems a little sad. I'm very glad I wasn't involved in the selection/purchase of my ring, to me it just wouldn't be as special.
If you're picking out your rings together, that could be kind of cool, but to go on a shopping trip just to hunt down your most perfect rock seems a little whackadoodle.

Most of the women in my family have had the old diamond set into a necklace or something like that. They definitely didnt get rid of the original.

Oh okay, that's more understandable. This co-worker's husband basically sold her original diamond back to the jeweler for a credit toward the new one. I would be so sad about that.

That would make me sad too. I'd want the memories of shitting myself waiting for her to say yes.
Ugh, my work computer just bit the dust. Think the motherboard went out. And of course it happens right at report time. We have a backup computer, but just spent the past 2 hours getting everything back up to date. Thankfully we're pretty vigilant about backing up to a flash drive in addition to DropBox. Pain in the ass, but pretty much nothing was lost thankfully.
I feel like I'm going to have a very big struggle when I get married - I have no desire to wear a ring/band, and I don't think I'd want it around my neck on a chain either. I generally don't like wearing jewelry.

It'll really depend on your partner. I have met plenty of people that don't wear their wedding rings for various reasons, so I don't think it's a crazy request.

Yep. Ideally you will marry someone who is cool with you being happily comfortable sans jewelry.
My dad didn't wear a ring for the first ~20 years. My boss doesn't wear hers. It's not for everyone.

Yeah, this makes sense. Someone who's gonna flip a shit because I don't keep a piece of metal around my finger isn't someone I probably want to marry.

I missed the whole marriage/ marriage related discussion (I'm on vacation so no reason to come in here).. I don't really wear jewelry either, except for earrings. I have a ring my ex gave me and I wore it for less than a year before I had to tell him, "I love the ring, I love the thought. But I don't like wearing rings and every time I take it off I'm afraid I'm going to lose it. Would you be offended if I stopped wearing it?" His answer was that it was ok because it wasn't an engagement/wedding ring, which I thought was really weird. I don't think I ever want to get married. But if I do change my mind it's going to be a super small, backyard type wedding and either a cheap or no ring.... If that. Maybe I'll do a courthouse wedding and just throw a party type "reception." Either way, it's going to be as cheap and simple as possible.

Can't stress this enough. At first my wife was a little upset about the fact that I spent way less on her engagement ring than she was expecting. It was actually a fight, but we worked through it, and she accepted the fact that I wasn't going to break the bank for it. Now we are going to do the same for the wedding. We pretty much arent going to have one. We are just going to get married by the state and hold off on any ceremony for a while. Obviously this goes against everything she envisioned growing up, so it was hard for her to accept. Even though it took a while for her to come around, I think now she realizes that it was the right way to go. Now, we are closing in on buying a home, and our son's college savings account is growing. I think she is much happier with the trade off.
Sorry. I know this isn't about work.

Not all women are crazy bout the ring. It was the man I wanted, not the chunk of useless carbon.
I would already be home for spring break if it wasn't for the fact I had to cover for multiple professors this morning. It also appears that I'm driving home in bad weather (if I do go home today.)
My main issue is I have had to be up and rolling by 7 am two out of the last three days.
I feel like I'm going to have a very big struggle when I get married - I have no desire to wear a ring/band, and I don't think I'd want it around my neck on a chain either. I generally don't like wearing jewelry.
I'm exactly the same way,and the first month of wearing my ring was torturous. But now I feel weird when I take it off. Plus it gives me something to play with when I'm bored.

I used to tap mine on everything, so it's probably a positive for everyone else that I don't have one anymore. Haha.
cannot wait to get off a 9 to 5 for a while and just have some fun. look out, world!!!
I eagerly anticipate your hungover snaps tomorrow.
hahaha that's funny because I made plans like a week ago to go out tonight - and for someone who rarely plans ahead on things, that's a big deal. haha
so yes, you will likely receive said snaps tomorrow.
EDIT: which, actually, I'm annoyed by now... because 3 people have put their shifts up for tonight and I really should work. but we have a movie and drinks to tend to! oh well.

I've been wearing one of my rings since high school and the other since early college. I feel so fucking naked when I forget to put them on. and I'm shocked I've never lost them. drunk me is always very meticulous when it comes to safely putting them away at night.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
