I went to the stupid fair for lunch with my coworkers. At least now I can use that as an excuse not to go to any more lunches for a while.

Awwww.
Well, that's your ticket, then. Say 'no' from here on out!

Not too bad! I went to lunch with my mom then worked in the afternoon. I'm about to make dinner, then go listen to a podcast.

I have a blocked duct in my eyelid (it's been there for months), and it's playing up today. It's not especially painful, just about the level of tapping on a bruise - but I get that little spike of discomfort every time I blink, and it's a huge pain in the ass.
Also, a friend asked me to hang out, and she picked the time, but she's currently late.

I've got a tooth that needs removing, but I can't get it pulled until October, and it's acting up today, so...yay.

Also, my niece keeps stealing my new glasses...she looks kind of adorable in them, but...I kinda need them. >_>

My nephews stopped doing that to me after I started calling them "my eyes" instead of "my glasses". (As in "give me back my eyes!" or "Somebody took my eyes from my nightstand... " ) Somehow, that brought home to 'em just what they were doing. (also, yeah, kinda went for the squick factor there - messing around with auntie's funny face jewelry is fun, messing with her eyes... not so much). So, I dunno what works for your niece or how old she is, but just thought I'd throw that out there.

I had to add another employed physician to our owner distribution Workbook of Doom.

I hate this spreadsheet. I hate it so much. It's pivoting compiled data from another pivot from a program that talks to NOTHING and then there's a billion formulas allocating everything and SOMETIMES A FORMULA GETS DELETED and doesn't get discovered for months because there's, like, 30 tabs that all build off each other and good fucking luck, and then I go home and drink.

I got the last color of yarn I need for my next project. Now just watching a ton of videos to figure out the best way to change colors more cleanly.

I’m mostly enjoying my new job; it looks like I might have more responsibilities and have to learn new stuff, but I’ll also get to do more fun things. But today something weird happened.

I’ve been getting the feeling that one of my new coworkers doesn’t like me much, even though we’ve barely interacted and I can’t think of anything awful or annoying I’ve done to or around her.

My new work location has a tiny staff area and I’ve been stowing my purse and lunch bag in the corner under the break room table. Today, my boss asked my tetchy coworker if I could use half the shelf she puts her stuff on (I didn’t ask him to or say anything about my stuff or her and I’m fine with keeping my things in the corner) and she BLEW UP.

Started yelling about contacting his supervisor, that we three needed to have a group discussion, just flipped the fuck out. I just stood there like ... “awkward, heh heh... ah...” and said I didn’t mind keeping my things where they were, but I’m not even sure she heard. My boss went “okay, boss” at her in a kind of sarcastic way and she’s been slamming doors and stomping around ever since. Everyone else, including new boss, have been nice to me and seem like good people... I feel like there must be backstory I’m missing.

Regardless of back story, that's really not acceptable workplace behavior.

Yeesh, sorry you have to go through that. I've had my experience with bad co-workers in the past, but never quite like that... and no one called her out on it? My only guess is that shes related to someone important, or something like that.

she was probably after the position you got (unless the two of you share the same level position)

also, why doesn't your workplace have lockers? i'd definitely want to lock my shit up where there's a co-worker like her around.

Shitty and getting shittier watching the purity brigade run amok all over FS tonight. Bedtime, I think.

What did I miss? Were there are a bunch of deleted comments?

Are you the one who didn't understand a joke about piracy or the one who lied about what kind of tweets a celeb was responding to?

I'm sorry if my opinions made your day worse I guess

Anon from yesterday. Still not doing great. But a friend suggested a counseling service that does it for free for those who can't afford it. So I'm going to see if I qualify.

Good luck anon!

Massive rain and thunderstorms here starting in the late afternoon. It let up in time for me to walk to my car to go home and wasn't raining hard when I got to the gym, but just when I was about to leave the gym, it started pouring harder than anything! I had to wait nearly half an hour before it let up enough to run to my car. There was some street flooding, but nothing serious on the way home. Fortunately I didn't need to run any errands and it hasn't rained much since. We're definitely going to get more storms tonight, though. Got a little water in the basement. I really need to stop putting off trying to alter the landscaping by that one corner of the house to help water drain away better.

I got free pizza for lunch so I can't complain. Then I got home and started stressing over stuff, as usual.

A rollercoaster. My aunt died, but I got approved for the apartment I wanted.

Oh no, I’m sorry about your aunt, but I’m glad your day wasn’t all awful and I hope moving in goes well.

I just found out this morning my mom has to go to the hospital and have a pacemaker put in. I didn't even know she was having problems w/ her heart before this.

Got a hair-cut - cut a great deal off but my hair's so long nobody'll notice; just was time for the damaged bits to go, so ... now it's "just" midback.

Also, took faaaaaaaar too long to find out where to buy a particular kind of alcohol I wanted ... to make a pie with. :/ But I did manage, so all in all a good day.
