That's a sarcastic terrific for me. I'm still in so much pain. But our dishwasher broke this morning so I spent the last 2 hours fixing it. Running a test wash now and in about 5 minutes I should find out if it's actually fixed. Maybe then I can take a damn shower. I've had to shop vac gross water out of the thing 3 times this morning so I'm waiting to shower until the gross work is done.
I hope you're all actually having a terrific Tuesday.

I'm very sorry you're having a sarcastic terrific day LINGERLONGER. Shopvaccing gross water in the morning sounds like a fresh version of hell. I've started a list of people that I'd like to punch at work. It gets longer approximately every hour. This shit isn't that hard, just stop fighting me on bullshit. I can't even take a week of vacation without them losing their minds, makes me strongly consider rage quitting if we didn't need my income for a while here.

Oh no, LINGERLONGER ! I'm sorry your morning has been less-than-terrific. I hope that the dishwasher is fixed so that you can take a shower and relax. I'm exhausted. I keep staying up too late. H and I are going to try to upgrade our phones tonight, which I'm pretty excited about. (Long story, but we were supposed to do it last night, but H dawdled so long that the Verizon guy at Target was gone by the time we got there. ) If I actually get my new phone today, it might be terrific.

Sorry for stupid coworkers righthandman. The good news is handyman LL fixed the problem. Now I just have to empty the shop vac and I can take a sweet, sweet shower.

I hope you feel better soon and have a nice relaxing shower LINGERLONGERTerrific might be a stretch, but today's ok. I didn't get much sleep last night. Again. I'd been doing really well at sleeping recently, but I seem to have hit the wall and am waking up in the middle of the night and not going back to sleep. It sucks. I'm on a very strange (for me) kick of ordering casual dresses. I've never even considered wearing a dress to work before, but suddenly it seems like a good idea. This might be the sleep deprivation talking. I'm also ordering a pair of boots I've had my eye on for two years because they're finally available in wide foot (and extra wide calf)! Clearly, I'm an excellent employee when I'm fucking tired...

LINGERLONGER, that sounds like an awful start to the day. I'm glad you were able to fix it, and I hope things keep looking up from here. righthandman, I'm sorry about your dumb coworkers. You should be able to take a trip without things falling apart. eba1012, fingers crossed you get your new phones tonight! ven, I, too, didn't sleep well last night. I'm having similar problems with waking up around 3 or 4 and having trouble getting back to sleep. I hope it improves for both of us soon. But yay for ordering clothes! I don't know if terrific is accurate, but today is at least okay so far. And I have tasty leftover mac and cheese for dinner when I get home. I have about five long-term projects I need to work on, though. I should probably do some of that ...

eba1012 oooh what kind of phones are you getting? righthandman sorry about the stupidity. I know it well. I'm getting the iPhone 8, and H is getting the iPhone 8 Plus. Target has a deal where if you upgrade your Verizon phone to a new iPhone, you get a $150 Target gift card. And I know I can spend $150 at Target. I honestly considered waiting on my upgrade, but I have an iPhone 6, and it's starting to slow down and act up, so it's probably time.

Oh, since I'm shopping at Zappos anyhow, I'm looking at winter boots. I'd really like a mid-calf or knee-high pair of snow boots, but for some stupid reason snow boots only list shaft height, not width. I have a good 18" calf. Does anyone have any idea if Sorels will accomodate that? Most snow boots lace up, so I'm sure they *can* go around my calf, but if there's a gap it's going to defeat the point...

I just created an error message (that will only ever be seen within my company) based on this.

I actually just got these and they're super toasty: www.zappos.com/p/columbia-ice-maidenn-ii-cordovan-siberia/product/8329554/color/487660eba1012 Hopefully you get that new phone today! efmcc67 mac and cheese is always a good idea LINGERLONGER I'm sorry you're in so much pain today...hope you enjoyed your shower I'm still super tired.
