I went downstairs to get lunch, and there was a woman packing up her table where she was selling GIRL SCOUT COOKIES! but I got there too late and she had already brought all of the cookies out to her car and told me she wasn't going to be back at our building again.

soooo. my full time job is a contract gig. and they've been renewing me month to month the last 6 or so months. but I just found out their capacity isn't high enough to keep me on after my contract expires in a few weeks.
part of me is completely indifferent about it - because I didn't enjoy the position and environment anyway and I don't particularly care for account management roles (hence the grad school thing) but the other part of me is like "oh cool. money." now I have to figure out what to do. do I get another serving job? do I look for another contract role? do I work to try and get a position at an agency that I actually really want to work at, with knowing that I very well will probably be moving come august?
I knew this could easily happen, but I just wish it had been a month or 2 later. I just need to figure out what I'm going to do.
I think I'm sick. Sore throat, runny/stuffy nose that I can't breath out of, hurts to swallow and a headache that won't quit. I just want my bed and a bottle of NyQuil....

When ever I get sick I start pounding orange juice. When I can't handle any more OJ switch to hot lemon water with honey. Obviously I am not a doctor but I never stay sick for very long. No way to know how much credit should go to the OJ vs. my immune system but IMO orange juice is the best thing to come out of Florida since unjuiced oranges

I got a flat tire on my way home and don't have a spare. I've been waiting for 2 hours now and still no tow truck. My gas light is on. I have a headache. I'm tired. I have a tissue shoved up my nose because I've blown it raw but it won't stop running. And now I have to pee.
I guess a bright side is that in my 2 hours here I've had 7 people (2 of which were state troopers) stop to see if I needed help. There are some decent people out there still.

This is always something that always bothered me way more than it should. First let me say, anything that makes you feel better. Go for it! Placebo affect or real affect, anything that makes you happy and feel good. That being said, orange juice does not get rid of a cold. Vitamin C will help your immune system if taken on a regular basis when you're healthy. If you're already getting sick, OJ will do nothing to help you. Colds have to run their course. Medications will mask symptoms. Things like OJ might comfort you while you're down, but besides keeping you hydrated, it will do nothing for your immune system.
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.
Two months ago I bought my very first brand new car (2015 Traverse) and this past Saturday I was parked in a lot while I ran in to the dollar store to get a baby shower gift bag and the person parked next to me rammed my car with their door. Then left. Since I was only running in for one thing, my 12 yr old daughter was still in the car and saw the whole thing. They didn't even bother to check for damage. I now have a nice long vertical dent and a couple scratches. Grrrrrr.

I'm getting really aggravated about working around other people's festival/show plans. I don't see why it's that hard to understand that yes, I might be your girlfriend but I'm still my own person and I'm going to go to the shows I want to see with or without you. End.of.story. Talking shit about my choices isn't going to make me go to yours, it's only going to make me not invite you to mine.

I think you might be living my life over in Minnesota.
- was on a contract at a company I didn't like - contract ended all of a sudden - was moving in a few months
What I wound up doing was going on unemployment for a few months, and started looking for jobs where I was moving to. It can take a long time to find a good job, so you may as well get started now. Plus many companies are starting to warm up to the idea of interviewing and working from home. It took me nearly 6 full months to find the right job, but it was completely worth it. Get your foot in the door of a good company, impress the right person, and all of a sudden you have a career on your hands.

I tell everyone the same thing when they're sick.
3 liters of water, and plenty of nutrients. If you can't stomach food, vitamins, tea, and some chicken and veggie soup. The body is incredible at fighting off colds, you just need to give it the supplies .

It's starting to look like we won't be going to Roo this year. The only other fest that I really wanted to go to was Boston Calling but my boyfriend already signed up for a marathon in Burlington, VT that weekend.

You should also probably get drunk tonight.
haha yep! that sounds like a familiar situation! fortunately I still have my serving job, which will definitely hold me up for the time being. the only bad part about it is that this is the least busy time of the year, so extra shifts are a rarity.
bright side of all of this - I felt a sense of relief when I walked into work today, knowing my time here is almost done. and my manager and I met so she could go into greater detail about why there isn't room to bring me on (new company acquisition in CT they've been trying to transition into working with, structural changes, all sort of stuff that's been happening since before I was here that I've known about), that they really tried to fight to find the capacity to keep me, that they will all be my references etc. so at least I won't be leaving on bad terms and I know I'll be happier not having to sit here every day.
now it's just a matter of deciding what I want to do next... I'll be moving in august pending grad school, so I'm leaning toward just getting another serving job and having fun my last few months - plus I think I need time away from a desk job. but I think I'm going to throw my resume out to places that I find interesting and just see what happens. and see what my recruiter has in mind, too.

My car was towed to Tire Discounters at 11:45am. They said it'd be a couple of hours. I went to sleep and had my mom pick me up after work and bring me here. When I walked in I saw my car in the garage still and asked how much longer. They said they were finishing my free alignment and it'd be about 15-20 more mins. I've been here for a fucking hour now. I am sick. I am tired. I'm hungry. My nose hurts. My head hurts. I work tonight and I've already spent 3 hours waiting on a tow truck this morning I'm really not happy to be waiting another hour here. This is fucking ridiculous. Fuck snow. Fuck winter. Fuck cars. Fuck cods. Fuck these guys.
UGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I can't tell if I want to scream or cry.

Thank you Monie I really really appreciate it but please direct all positive vibes, love &/or prayers to his family and children. They need it way more than me. Thank you
My grandfather is real sick and in a rehab facility because he doesn't have the strength to walk. He also refuses to eat any food provided to him in this facility. Instead, he needs us to bring him food from the outside which he'll eat maybe 50% of the time.
Yesterday, my mom tells him that I'll bring him food today after work. Of course, she doesn't tell me until after work today. I have plans to meet with a friend. Why the fuck couldn't she tell me this yesterday? Either way I'm an asshole. Either I'm canceling on someone or I'm neglecting my grandfather. All of this could have been avoided with normal communication. Why the fuck do people suck at communicating?

Sometimes stressful situations do that to people. Recently my Mom has sworn she's told me something that I know she hasn't, and it's been during bad times. It probably just slipped her mind.
I may just be talking to empty space here - not sure how many people follow NHL on here.
The Boston Bruins are pathetic. Absolutely no effort at all last night - went to a goddamn shootout playing one of the worst teams in the league. With Tuukka Rask starting. I'm starting to feel bad for him. He's an amazing goaltender, and it would be great if he actually had a team to back him up. The shots last night during that shootout were pathetic - even Rask was laughing at them. Some trades need to be made and fucking Chiarelli needs to go. He's just made some bad decisions. If the Bruins don't make the playoffs this year, I could see a complete restructuring of the organization. They are just playing lazy hockey all around, and it's becoming a chore to watch them struggle every single week.

And fuck the Habs.
there are def some nhl fans around here, mostly Canadians or east coasters, like yourself.
being from MN it's nice to see the Wild on the upturn at this point of the year. they actually did the same thing last year. both years they were struggling, then wiped the floor with buffalo (both years) around mid-season and have been on a tear since. we traded for Dubnyk a new goalie and that has made a world of difference.
beat calgary, that we're chasing, in a shootout last night. lets keep it rolling boys
there is an nhl thread too, not sure if there's one for this year yet or not. there was one last year for sure "NHL 13-14" or something like that

Nice. I'm going to see if I can track down the thread. If there isn't one for the 14-15 season, I'll create one.
