I have been working like mad due to a colleague being out. And it's the end of the term, so I have all of that stuff going on too. Woof. Good news is that my employer is having a champagne brunch to celebrate our accreditations being approved for the max time frames. I'm going to have all the mimosas.

bellaluna, enjoy the mimosas! I hope things slow down soon. I, too, am ready for the weekend. I spent all of yesterday constantly reminding myself that it was only Wednesday. It soooo felt like a Thursday. Today will also be nuts. 3.5 hours of meetings, combined with trying to finish some projects before a deadline. I want to try to get to the gym tonight. Realistically, I may be too tired.

I am glad I am not the only one wanting the weekend to come quickly. The only exciting thing I have is a dentist appointment, but it should be just a cleaning. I doubt we can do any fall fun activities this weekend since DH has a guy night on Friday and we have to get my ring inspected/cleaned. Plus grocery shopping and our weekend cleaning. Enjoy a mimosas for me bellaluna

Yay for mimosas, bellaluna ! The neighbor kid has upgraded from playing the recorder poorly outside from 7:30 am to 8:15 am to playing the trumpet poorly outside from 7:30 am to 8:15 am. Oh. My. God.

bellaluna Enjoy those mimosas! And have a few for me. I hope you're able to get everything done today, efmcc67 . I hope you can fit in some fun activities, snippet17 . LINGERLONGER You should see my face right now. Shut up, neighbor kid! Add me to the "ready for the weekend" group. I got invited to a birthday party on Saturday, and it's at a Renn faire like 40 minutes away (without traffic). I want to go, but I don't really need to spend the money. Plus H can't go, and I don't really want to drive out there by myself. I may end up just cleaning up the apartment, since a friend might come over on Sunday to meet Pico.

That little fucker needs to learn some lip and breath control because the fucking thing keeps squealing. DH wants to hand out candy at Halloween this year just so he can threaten the little bastard. I want to have a chat with the parents. I don't blame the kid. I blame shitty parents that just don't care.

Oooo enjoy the mimosas bellaluna! I hope things calm down for you a bit. LINGERLONGER - I swear, the day after you mentioned Neighborhood Kid, I was getting out of the house with G and N and G got outside and bellowed about a car or something. She wasn't that loud but it seemed loud and I felt terrible for my neighbors lol. Thankfully, we had a quick discussion and she has not done it since, but it was literally the day after you told us about your local tyrant. Also, as if a trumpet isn't bad enough, a poorly played one? NOT COOL.

Lol. Do not worry about a one time shout. I wouldn't have cared if this happened once.

Lol. Do not worry about a one time shout. I wouldn't have cared if this happened once. To be fair, it was like 6:40am LOL so I definitely did feel bad, but it was the first time she did it and I thought it was particularly hilarious/odd/ridiculous considering the timing of your story.

Yay for Mimosas bellaluna ! meanwhile all I got was ANOTHER FIRE DRILL. I have never had so many firealarms in my life! It's like almost once a month at this point. efmcc67 , Good luck today! Sometimes you just need rest. Can you go to the gym/get some activity done this weekend? LINGERLONGER , OMG. Part of me would just want to go out and bang pots and pans at like 10pm out side of the parents windows. It's definitely the parents fault. eba1012 , as much as i like to go to stuff like that, if FI can't go I either go solo and take my own car OR just skip it. daub23, lol kids are kids so once in a while being loud? Whatever. Consistently playing an instrument that is MEANT to resonate? Very different lol

sunshine, when I was in HS we had one year where we had fire drills anywhere from once a week to a couple of times a day. They weren't actually planned though. There was a bug in the system. So we would have to actually stand outside for an hour so they could make sure it wasn't a real alarmeach time. We lost so much schooling time. We had a rough winter that year and had about 3 feet of snow. I can remember doing the swimming unit in gym and being terrified the alarm would go off while we were in the pool because it was winter time and we couldn't change before going outside. Also, I know what "a bug in the system" means, and I knew then, but for some reason when they told us I kept imagining a fly buzzing around and shorting out wires. Lol!

Yum! Enjoy all the mimosas bellaluna! That sounds like a busy day efmcc67! Hopefully it goes by quickly I would want to kill someone LINGERLONGER. Where are the kids parents? Add me to the list of people ready for the weekend. I can’t wait for H to be home so I can give E to him when he’s fussy (parent of the year right here). I need to do some dishes so I can get dinner for tonight in the slow cooker. My life is so exciting

So, apparently they're replacing our desktops with laptops/docking stations tonight. Great, except that our office manager's was replaced last night, and NOTHING was loaded onto his laptop this morning. I expect tomorrow morning to be a shitshow with these laptops.

JIC your computer isn't working and you have 4 hours until the help desk can get to you.

efmcc67 , Good luck today! Sometimes you just need rest. Can you go to the gym/get some activity done this weekend? I'll definitely have time this weekend. I'm just getting in this bad habit of exercising on the weekend only, which is better than nothing, but I'm not making much progress. I really want to start getting in one or two on weeknights to spread it out a little more. I've just been tired lately, or I have to run errands, or, or, or...
